CIK
No. 0002009714

Dear
SEC Officers:

We
hereby provide a response to the comments issued in a letter dated December 5, 2024 (the “Staff’s Letter”) regarding
the Company’s Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”). Contemporaneously,
we are filing the revised Draft Registration Statement via Edgar (the “Amended F-1”).

In
order to facilitate the review by the Commission’s staff (the “Staff”) of the Amended F-1, we have responded
to the comments set forth in the Staff’s Letter on a point-by-point basis. The numbered paragraphs set forth below respond to the
Staff’s comments and correspond to the numbered paragraph in the Staff’s Letter.

Amendment
No. 3 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1

Capitalization,
page 50

    1.
    Please
    remove your proforma as adjusted (Full exercise of over-allotment option) column. In addition, remove the similar column and related
    disclosures in your dilution disclosure.

Response:
We respectfully advise the Staff that we have revised pages 50 and 51 of the Amended F-1.

Dilution,
page 51

    2.
    You
    appear to include deferred offering costs in your historical net tangible book value of $17,212,343 as of June 30, 2024. Please revise
    to exclude such costs from your net tangible book value.

Response:
We respectfully advise the Staff that we have revised page 51 of the Amended F-1.

Unaudited
Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page F-31

    3.
    Please
    tell us what the repayment to related party payables of $7,426,919 for the June 30, 2024 period represents, how it was calculated,
    and how it relates to amounts disclosed on page F-42 and F-43.

Response:
We respectfully advise the Staff that we have revised page F-31 of the Amended F-1. The decrease in related party payables is revised
to $5,553,864.

The
decrease of $5,553,864 in related party payables consist of the following:

    (i)
    $241,984
    repayment to related parties which relates to F42 & F43 which evidenced by the movement in the amount due to related parties
    as at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 amounting to $522,593 and $280,609 respectively; and

    (ii)
    5,311,880
    represents the reversal of Additional Paid-In Capital (“APIC”) by Straits Energy Resources Berhad (“Straits”),
    which was originally recorded in prior year 2022 as APIC in Tumpuan Megah Development Sdn Bhd (“TMD”). This amount was
    a cash consideration initially made by Straits for the purpose of acquiring shares in TMD and was appropriately classified as APIC
    under equity. However, the issuance of shares never occurred. In 2024, as part of the restructuring for the purpose of the IPO, Straits
    formally terminated the acquisition of shares. Consequently, the APIC was reversed and offset against the amount owed by Straits
    resulting in a net balance of USD617,290 due from Straits, as disclosed on Page F42.

Please
reach Lawrence Venick, the Company’s outside counsel at +852.5600.0188 if you would like additional information with respect to
any of the foregoing. Thank you.

Sincerely,

    /s/
