Weekly Strategy Monday, June 03, 2019 FBMKLCI: 1, 650.76 THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* WWeeeekkllyy SSttrraatteeggyy Market View, News in Brief: Corporate, Economy, and Share Buybacks Kaladher Govindan Tel: +603-2167 9609 [email protected] www.taonline.com.my Market View “Trump Factor” Could Lead to Profit Taking Last week, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI) bucked the weak external market trend as month-end window-dressing lifted the index up to close at a fresh two-month high. This is despite the inclusion of Malaysia in the US Treasury Department’s expanded monitoring list for currency manipulation, and as global markets and crude oil prices tumbled amid worries over the worsening US-China trade tensions. For the week, the FBM KLCI jumped 52.44 points, or 3.28 percent to 1,650.76, with most of the gains contributed by Tenaga (+RM1.16), Public Bank (+RM1.08), DiGi.com (+41sen), Axiata (+24sen) and Petronas Gas (+RM1.28). Average daily traded volume improved mildly to 2.13 billion shares, compared to the 2.02 billion shares the previous week, while traded value rose to RM2.57 billion, against RM1.71 billion average the previous week, as trading activity focused on the higher priced blue chips space. As external news flows continue to paint a negative picture on the global economic outlook, the FBMKLCI’s ability to sustain last week’s rebound will be tested this week, ahead of the two and half days of Hari Raya festive holidays. With President Trump threatening to impose tariff on Mexican goods last Friday, China vowing to retaliate on the banning of Huawei by pursuing similar action on US companies (China was supposed to release a white paper on its stance on trade war yesterday and provide more clues on its next course of action with regards to trade war) and yield of short-term securities at key economies like the US climbing at the expense of long-term bonds and unnerving investors, profit taking pressure is likely to increase in this holiday-shortened trading week. With the first quarter earnings season coming to a conclusion without any significant positive surprises, the focus on the local front this week could be on the April trade data as it is regarded as an important barometer to gauge the impact of the ongoing US-China trade war. Consensus expectations are for both exports and imports to contract by 1.3% year-on- year (YoY) and 0.3% YoY respectively, which will lead to a lower surplus of RM12.5 billion versus RM14.4 billion in March. However, actual data could outperform expectations if April imports data for Malaysia’s largest trading partner, China, is used as a gauge. Despite weaker exports, China’s imports for the month outperformed expectations with imports rising by 4% from a year ago, compared to a contraction of 7.6% YoY in March, as the government’s stimulus measures to shield the economy from trade war showed some results. However, the effectiveness of these measures could wane off without further boosters after the US more than doubled tariff in May and look set to impose harsher penalties on remaining imports from China, most likely in June. This reality was reflected in its May Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index, which dipped lower to 49.4 versus 50.1 in April. Page 1 of 10 3-Jun-19 Any signs that Malaysia is benefitting from the trade war, albeit likely to be short-term in nature, could help to offset some selling pressure ahead of the festive holidays. The Nikkei Malaysia Purchasing Managers’ Index for May that will be released today as well should have the same impact, if it shows an expansion after recording 49.4 in April, slightly below the growth threshold of 50 points. In the US, the ISM Manufacturing data for May will be released today as well. It may remain flat on a month-on-month basis as demand for stocking up activities cushion the impact of trade war on factory activities. With its core Personal Consumption Index for April hovering around 1.6%, investors will be watching the non-farm payroll data this week to gauge the possibility of a rate cut later this year or next.

(The Star) Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB)’s Chief Executive Officer Amir Hamzah Azizan said it is too early to tell if the issue of overcharged bills would have any financial impact on the group.

Among others, claims include a declaration that the completion period for JAKS to deliver Star’s entitlement under the sale and purchase agreement is on 20 June 2020, a declaration that Star has breached the SPA, as well as sum of RM545mn to be paid as liquidated and ascertained damages and loss of proceeds from corporate fund raising exercises. Star would be taking the necessary actions to respond to the claims. (Bursa Malaysia) Comment: We are keeping our estimates for Star unchanged until further developments as the group would be responding to the claim. Note that the ordeal has been on-going since early 2018. Maintain Sell on Star with a TP of RM0.69/share based on 0.6x P/BV.

  • BLAIR and the CONSPIRACY of SILENCE Chedet.Co.Cc August 01, 2008 by Dr
    BLAIR AND THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE Chedet.co.cc August 01, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad I feel sad that after a very well attended Press Conference (see picture) chaired by me as Chairman of the Kuala Lumpur Perdana Global Peace Organisation to condemn the visit of the war criminal Tony Blair, almost nothing has appeared in the print and electronic media in this country. It looks as if Malaysia supports the criminal action of this former British Prime Minister who lied to his Parliament, to the British people and the world that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) which could hit Britain in a matter of minutes. On the basis of this lie he joined George Bush of the United States to launch a massive war against Iraq, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and destroying their cities, the electricity and water supply. When no WMDs were found in Iraq, this war criminal claimed that he and Bush unleashed their killers against Iraq to rid it of (President) Saddam Hussein and to make Iraq and all the countries in West Asia democratic. Saddam has been caught together with his Cabinet members and hanged after trial by a kangaroo court. But the killings in Iraq has not stopped. It is five years plus and the Iraqi people, from babies to old people, the healthy and the sick, are being killed or savagely wounded every day. Whatever Saddam may have done, nothing that he did can compare with the death and destruction caused by Blair and Bush. If Saddam is regarded as a criminal for the harsh way he built up his country, if Radovan Karadzic is a criminal because of the thousands of Bosniaks he massacred, then Blair together with Bush must be condemned as worse criminals, for the senseless and pointless war of aggression they launched i.e.

  • State Intervention, Globalization and the Evolution of Malaysian Banks' Identities
    Chin Yee Whah _____________________________________________________________ State Intervention, Globalization and the Evolution of Malaysian Banks' Identities CHIN YEE WHAH Abstract This article describes and explains the evolution of Malaysia's locally owned banks in a series of mergers and acquisitions within national borders and beyond. It argues that state intervention, external economic and financial crises and the liberalization of the financial sector have compelled the consolidation of local banks in Malaysia. The consolidation process has resulted in the increased size of state-owned banks, decreased the number of local Chinese-owned banks and seen a decline in family shareholding in the remaining Chinese-control- led banks. Through regional expansion both Chinese-controlled and state- owned operations have become large-scale regionally based banking groups or global banks, deepening the financial integration in ASEAN countries. Keywords: Chinese finance, bank identities, affirmative policy, financial liberalization and integration, ASEAN Introduction This article studies Malaysian banks with an evolutionary economics approach to describe changes of ownership, identities and develop- ment by analysing how state intervention and the forces of globaliza- tion have resulted in the merger and acquisition (M&A) of Malaysia's local banks and their expansion into ASEAN countries and beyond. Under the affirmative action of its New Economic Policy (NEP), the state has been persistent in gradually consolidating Malaysia's bank- ing industry. The state took the strongest approach and entirely re- formed the domestic banking sector from the mid-1980s, when a world economic recession occurred. Next, it was the Asian financial crisis (AFC) of 1997/98 that severely hit Malaysia and four other ASEAN countries' financial sectors.

  • CAPITAL ACCUMULATION BETWEEN PETRONAS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES and BUMIPUTERA ENTREPRENEURS Saiful Khairi Kamarudin Puteh Noraihan A
    Sejarah: Journal of History Department, University of Malaya; No. 28 (2) 2019: 140-168; ISSN 1985-0611. CAPITAL ACCUMULATION BETWEEN PETRONAS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND BUMIPUTERA ENTREPRENEURS Saiful Khairi Kamarudin Puteh Noraihan A Rahman Taylor's University (Lakeside Campus) Abstrak The foundation of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) was one way of increasing the bumiputera’s equity. This paved the way to improve the disparity in the Malay social economic conditions with other Malaysian races and subsequently enhanced Malay economic wealth. This article will explore how PETRONAS were able to consolidate the interests of bumiputera socio-economic needs which led to the creation of Malay middle class. The focus of the paper would be on the role of PETRONAS in expanding and sharing its business operations and profitability with government agencies and Malay entrepreneurs. The business expansion would be through the rationalization process to other bumiputera companies or the profit sharing measure through inter-capital relationship or inter-skill benefit. Keywords: Malay Middle Class, Mining Equity, Bumiputera Equity, New Economic Policy, Petroleum Industry Introduction This paper examines the contribution of PETRONAS in consolidating the interests of Bumiputera socio-economic needs that led to the creation of a Malay middle class. It covers the role of PETRONAS in expanding and sharing its business operations and profitability with government agencies and Malay entrepreneurs. The business expansion would be through the rationalisation process to other Bumiputera companies, or the profit sharing measure would be through inter-capital relationship or inter-skill benefit. This stage of profit sharing was realised after PETRONAS had stabilised its business operation and gained a considerable return on investment after initially spending for capital and operating expenses.

As a study of the phenomenon of kinship in international relations, the thesis discusses the basis of kinship discourse in Indonesia-Malaysia relations, how kinship was politicised in terms of its conceptualisation and application,
