For instance, construction and property group Chip Eng Seng posted a 182.2 per cent jump in construction revenue to S$164.6 million for the half-year ended June 30, 2021.It even beat its previous revenue figures from the corresponding period in 2019, when it posted construction revenue of S$82.5 million.
