Construction 15Oct15 CONSTRUCTION Sector report Toll hikes: NPV neutral impact 15 Oct 2015 OVERWEIGHT Mak Hoy Ken (Maintained) [email protected] 03-2036 2294 Rationale for report: Sector update Investment Highlights Higher toll rates from 15 October. The local press reported that toll charges for 18 highways in Malaysia will be raised between RM0.10 and RM3 effective from today. Out of this total, 12 are major highway concessions operating within the Klang Valley: Kuala Lumpur-Karak (KLK) Expressway, Maju Expressway (MEX), Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway (SILK), Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE), Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART), KL-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR), Sungai Besi Highway (BESRAYA), New Pantai Expressway (NPE), Kajang Seremban Highway (LEKAS), Damansara Puchong Highway (LDP), Western Kuala Lumpur Traffic Dispersal Scheme (SPRINT) and Cheras- Kajang Highway (Grand Saga). Other highways that follow suit include the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE), Kemuning Shah Alam Highway (LKSA), Ampang Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH), Senai Desaru Expressway (SDE) and Butterworth Outer Ring Road (LLB). Status quo for PLUS-owned highways. Altogether, toll rates for all eight highways under government-backed PLUS Expressway Bhd remained unchanged at this juncture. They are the North South Expressway (NSE), New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Federal Highway Route 2, Seremban Port Dickson Highway, North South Expressway Central Link (ELITE), Second Link Malaysia Singapore (Linkedua), Butterworth Kulim Expressway (BKE) and Penang Bridge. Part of fiscal consolidation moves. We believe this is part of Malaysian government’s move to meet its budget deficit target of 3.2% for 2015 (2014: 3.5%) and support its sovereign rating amid a challenging global economic backdrop. Prior to this, the government had since 2008, delayed toll rates hikes to soften the financial impact on toll users. Notably, federal compensation to highway concessionaires totaled RM1.1bil between 2008 and 2013 (2014: RM403mil). Using 2014 as a base, this could potentially translate into over RM2bil in ‘savings’ from toll compensation obligations over the next five years under the 11th Malaysia Plan period (2016-2020), which the government can redeploy for other productive uses (e.g. public infrastructure) if it chooses so, we believe. For construction stocks within our coverage, Gamuda (KESAS, SPRINT, LDP, SMART tunnel), IJM (LEKAS, NPE, Besraya) and MRCB have exposure to Malaysian highways. Only the former two have toll concessions which are due for toll hikes under the latest round. Toll assets account for 18% of Gamuda’s NAV; IJM (27%); and MRCB (8%). (1) Gamuda: Comparing for Class 1 vehicles, the toll rates at LDP have been revised upwards from RM1.60 to RM2.10 per trip (+31%). For SPRINT, the new toll rates are as follow: Damansara Toll Plaza (from RM1 to RM2: +100%); Pantai Toll Plaza (from RM1.50. to RM2.50: +67%) and Bukit Kiara Toll Plaza (from RM2 to RM3: +50%). SMART Highway has revised upwards its toll charges to RM3 (from RM2 previously: +50%). (2) IJM: Toll rates at Besraya will be raised to RM2 at both north and south toll plazas at Mines in Sg.Besi (previous: RM1.30 or +54%). Over at NPE, the new rates at Pantai Dalam and PJS5 Toll Plaza have been raised to RM2.30 from 1.60 (+44%) although it has been maintained at RM1 for the PJS2 Toll Plaza. LEKAS announced a toll increase of between 10 sen and RM2 for its Kajang Selatan, Semenyih, Pajam, Mantin, Setul and Jelebu toll plazas. (3) MRCB: There are no immediate changes to the toll rates for its Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL) concession which had only commenced operations in August 2014. MRCB had also disposed off its 20% stake in the DUKE highway concession last year for RM200mil. NPV Neutral: Based on historical trends, the latest round of toll revisions would likely trigger a dip in overall traffic performance over the next two to three months, although the actual quantum could be negligible. Furthermore, toll concessionaires have in the past, been duly compensated whenever the Federal government did not allow such increases as per concession agreements. Normally, compensation was either by way of an extension of the concession period or cash payments. Hence, we make no changes to our earnings forecast for Gamuda, IJM and MRCB. The impact from these new toll rates will largely be NPV neutral as our models had already assumed cash compensation for any non-increase in scheduled toll hikes.

  • Integrated Management of Malaysian Road Network Operations Through ITS Initiatives: Issues, Potentials and Challenges
    Integrated management of Malaysian road network operations through ITS Initiatives: issues, potentials and challenges Moazzem Hossain Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST) GL33, Kelana Square, Kelana Jaya, PJ 47301, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected] Abstract During the last twenty five years, rapid urbanization and industrialization have resulted considerable growth of Malaysian highway network. Apart from few specialized industrial zones, most of the industrial zones are established in close proximity of the urban areas in order to ensure the smooth supply of manpower especially for the dominating manufacturing sectors. This phenomenon resulted in a number of large regional units of transport demand base involving high private motorized trips and truck dependent freight trips. The growth of car and truck trips especially in the regions including sea ports is putting tremendous pressure on the capacity of these regions’s road network which cannot be subdued by only physical extension of the network which often proved to be costly also. As a result, a number of such regions e.g. Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Baru are experiencing the problems of congestion, accidents and air pollution on their highway network. In many developed countries integrated intelligent transport system (ITS) initiatives applied to these sorts of regional bases have been claimed to be successful in alleviating those problems in a cost-effective manner. This paper will investigate the issues related to such integrated application of ITS initiatives in Malaysia on a regional basis with particular focus on Klang Valley region. Starting from the basic ITS functionality, the paper will identify the potential focus areas such as data gathering, data communication among and across jurisdictions, System flexibility, smart use of alternative routes, public-private collaboration and integration of public-private agencies in terms of regional ITS operational needs.

  • Chapter 5 Malaysia Country Report
    Chapter 5 Malaysia Country Report Saadiah Mohammad Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia November 2014 This chapter should be cited as Mohammad, S. (2014), ‘Malaysia Country Report’, in Zen, F. and M. Regan (eds.), Financing ASEAN Connectivity, ERIA Research Project Report FY2013, No.15.Jakarta: ERIA, pp.167-218. CHAPTER 5 Malaysia Country Report Saadiah Mohammad Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia Introduction As a country, Malaysia represents one of the success stories in the ASEAN in terms of its top-down political commitment to the five-year economic plans. For one, a sizeable government budget is allocated every year for its infrastructure activities. Malaysia is now an upper middle-income country served in most parts by good quality roads and expressways and a system of communication comparable to that of any developed, high-income country in the world. Many of its indicators on infrastructure have reached world-class standards, although there are still disparities in terms of total coverage and quality of infrastructure especially between West Peninsular Malaysia and its eastern counterpart states of Sabah and Sarawak. For years, Malaysia had not relied much on external sources of infrastructure financing since the government for many years had always managed to source funds internally. However, this also meant that government expenditure has increased tremendously over the years as population, urbanisation, and economic growth continue to put increasing demands on infrastructure. Since the 1980s, the government has considered the privatisation option—i.e., inviting the private sector as its partner in public-private partnership (PPP) projects—in its attempt to reduce government's burden in sourcing.

  • Adcps Guiding Intelligent Decisions on Malaysia's SMART Tunnel Project
    Application Note SonTek, a Xylem brand • XA00042 Accoustic Doppler Current Meters GUIDING INTELLIGENT DECISIONS ON MALAYSIA’S SMART PROJECT At 11.8 meters in diameter and 12 km in length, Kuala Lumpur’s SMART tunnel and its associated holding ponds can capture up to 4 million cubic meters of floodwater and divert it away from flood-prone downtown. Situation The awe-inspiring scope of Malaysia’s Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART) Project – 12 kilometers of tunnels 11.8 meters in diameter, capturing up to 4 million cubic meters of floodwater – staggers the imagination. The concept of a tunnel that detours traffic under crowded Kuala Lumpur streets during dry weather and shunts stormwater safely beneath downtown during flood events is as exciting as it is creative. But behind the massive tunnels and the huge catch basins is a system just as staggering – the SMART Project’s nerve system, a network of flood detection equipment and automated management machinery linked by a Supervisory Data Acquisition and Control (SCADA) brain that uses the information it gathers to automatically engage flood management gates and pumps. Technology Designed by systems integrator Greenspan Technology Pty Ltd., the flood detection and automated management system relies on 28 remote monitoring stations to guide decisions on 31 gates, seven huge pumps, and four independent generator setups (gensets) along the project. Three-Stage System The SMART Project is designed to operate in three stages to keep floods like the 2007 event from crippling the city, explains Bruce Sproule, Singapore-based International Manager for Greenspan.

  • Public-Private Partnership (Ppp) Projects for Malaysian Tolled Highways – an Insight Using a Political Economy Approach
    Journal of Accounting Perspectives, Vol 5, December 2012, 59-74 ISSN 1985-7136 PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (PPP) PROJECTS FOR MALAYSIAN TOLLED HIGHWAYS – AN INSIGHT USING A POLITICAL ECONOMY APPROACH 1 Ervina Alfan Abstract Tolled highways in Malaysia are built under the public-private approach in which the government provides the opportunities for the involvement of the private sector in the construction of these infrastructures. Using a political economy approach, this paper seeks to identify the main concession holders of the Malaysian tolled highways and ascertain in what way the tolled highways influence the political and economic arenas. This paper finds that the tolled highways in Malaysia play a significant role in achieving the country’s economic objectives. Keywords: political economy approach, tolled highways 1. Introduction In many countries worldwide, the provision of a public infrastructure and related services are undertaken using a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) approach (Olson, Guthrie et al. 1998, English and Guthrie 2003, Newberry and Pallot 2003). Previous studies on PPP focus on issues, such as ex ante decision-making (Utusan Malaysia 24 October 2003, Yaacob and Naidu 1997), the value for money in adopting this approach (Heald 2003), risk transfer (Broadbent and Laughlin 2003), varying interests that developed into tension between the government and the standard setting body (Broadbent and Laughlin 2005), and how PPP serves as the means to achieving the government’s political agenda (Broadbent and Laughlin 2005). Broadbent and Laughlin (2003) raise concern that PPP is a growing issue that is not geographically confined only to the UK but also to many countries internationally.
