At 9.20am, MBSB was up two sen to RM1.58 with 1.84 million shares done.
It declared an interim cash dividend of 5% less 25% income tax.
MBSB said the increase in profit was mainly due to higher income from Islamic banking operations and conventional business net interest income, lower other operating expenses and lower impairment allowances on loans. These were partially set off by lower other income in the current quarter.
Revenue increased by 80.8% to RM318.56 million from RM176.13 million.
