  • Mirror, Mirror on the Wall Who's the Richest of Them All? (NST 01/01
    01/01/2001 Mirror, Mirror on the wall who's the richest of them all? M Shanmugam OTHER THAN companies linked to government agencies, cash-rich Malaysian entities consist of mainly family-run companies. It can be difficult estimating how cash-rich a company is. Our list provides both cash balances - which includes liquid assets - and short- term liabilities. To come out with a fair assessment, all companies that have interests in financial institutions have been omitted. Similarly, companies with strong cash positions but equally large short-term borrowings have also been left out. The YTL Group, founded by the Yeoh family, heads the list of companies with the most cash in its kitty. YTL Corporation Bhd, its flagship, has RM3.7 billion in cash and bank deposits as of financial year ended June 2000. The bulk of the cash in the YTL Group comes from its subsidiary, YTL Power International Bhd. YTL Power, one of the leading independent power producers (IPPs) in the country, is sitting on a cash balance of RM3.1 billion and has short-term loans amounting to RM125.5 million. Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, the managing director and son of founder Tan Sri Yeoh Tiong Lay, has added a new dimension to what started off as a construction company. Armed with a war chest of cash resources, the younger Yeoh is staking a claim on the nation's energy supply industry. In its bid to increase power generation capacity, YTL Power is bidding for Tenaga Nasional Bhd's (TNB's) 40 per cent stake in its Pasir Gudang power plant.
