5.8   PLANT AND EQUIPMENT


                  All items of plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Cost includes expenditures that are directly
                  attributable to the acquisition of the asset and other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working
                  condition for its intended use.

                  Subsequent to initial recognition, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
                  impairment losses.


                  Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate,
                  only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will
                  flow to the Group and the cost  of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are
                  replaced is derecognised.


                  Depreciation on plant and equipment is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line method to write off the
                  depreciable amount of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates used for this purpose
                  are:-

                          Renovation                                        5% - 25%
                          Office equipment                                 12% - 20%
                          Furniture and fittings                           10% - 20%
                          IT equipment, licence and software development    20% - 25%
                          Signage                                               20%
                          Electrical equipment                                  20%
                          Machinery                                             20%
                          Medical equipment                                      12%
                          Motor vehicles                                        20%
                          Work-in-progress                                        Nil


                  Capital work-in-progress included in plant and equipment are not depreciated as these assets are not yet
                  available for use.

                  The depreciation method, useful lives and residual values will be reviewed if there is a significant change since the
                  last annual reporting date in the pattern by which the Group expects to consume an asset’s future economic
                  benefits. Any changes are accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.


                  Any gain or loss arising from the disposal of plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.

              5.9   PROJECTS WORK-IN-PROGRESS


                  Projects work-in-progress comprises all costs attributable to the project or can be allocated on a reasonable basis
                  to such projects.


                  Costs incurred on project are capitalised and deferred until only when the project is completed or is available for use.
