KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 21): IGB Corp Bhd reported a 14.26% fall in its fourth quarter net profit due mainly to lower contributions from its property segment.

IGB Corp said contributions from its property development division dropped 40% to RM93.6 million compared with FY2015, while contributions from its property investment (commercial) division fell 4% to RM122.9 million.
