KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 9): MALAYSIAN PACIFIC INDUSTRIES [] Bhd (MPI) shares declined in early trade on Wednesday, Nov 9 after the company said it anticipated that its business prospects would remain challenging for the financial year ending June 30, 2012, given the current softening in demand and the uncertain macro-economic outlook.

MPI said in Nov 8 that it posted net loss RM9.63 million in 1Q compared to net profit RM25.84 million a year earlier.
