Which one is better to apply? This or boustead ?
I think both are OK. If you have enough capital, why not apply for both.
I have yet gone through ICON prospectus. Do you have any idea which listed company involved in the similar OSV business?
I came across this article, they are many OSV listed companies in Malaysia.
