Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas)
has indicated that it will give priority to several companies with relevant experience to
undertake the job.
According to the pre-qualifying tender
documents sighted by The Edge, the concessionaire is in favour of companies that are
not only financially strong but also have
experience in building elevated highways.
“This means that there are only a handful
of players capable of handling projects of this
scale,” says an industry source.
He points out that companies that have a
good chance of securing the multibillion-ringgit projects include IJM Corp Bhd, Sunway
Bhd, Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB),
Mudajaya Group Bhd and UEM Group Bhd.
According to the pre-qualification documents for both projects, among Prolintas’ mandatory requirements is that applicants must have a minimum of five years’

SECOND SPHERE
62 | Heightened racism must be stopped. I supported
MY SAY
60 | The Malay agenda.The subject of Malay angst is a
popular one lately. Not everyone is upset, of course, but
there is a segment among the Malays, perhaps driven by
a sense of insecurity, who have created mental models
that put themselves under siege.
61 | Why the Fed buried monetarism. The Fed’s
decision to delay an increase in interest rates confirmed
that its risk management approach remains biased in
favour of ‘lower for longer’.
62 | Growing out of inequality. Income inequality has
been increasing in most major economies, raising concern
over the effect on long-term growth and restraint on
short-term growth by depressing aggregate demand.
Bersih 4 because of its clear objectives. The Red Shirts
have the right to rally too. But I did not support it because
they did not have a clear objective. The only objective was
that it was to be a counter-rally to Bersih 4.
TRUST IN RESILIENCE
63 | Winning with culture. Instead of blaming culture,
what if senior executives used their existing corporate
cultures to reinforce the behaviours that create highperformance organisations?

Nazir calls for answers
Datuk Seri Nazir Razak urged the
authorities last Wednesday to answer
to ongoing financial controversies, on
concerns over the junk pricing of Malaysia’s
credit default swaps (CDS). Writing on
his Instagram account, the CIMB Group
Holdings Bhd chairman and brother of
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak
said, “This is worrying. The market is
much more negative about Malaysia than
the rating agencies, taking us into junk
category, way below our fundamentals.” He
highlighted the recent negative coverage
by international newspapers, and urged
the government to “change the current
narrative about Malaysia with answers and
legal suits; can’t just ignore them”.
the 3.5% increase in July, pulled
down by lower petrol prices.
However, higher liquor and
tobacco prices as well as more
expensive healthcare services,

bills pushed the CPI up.

it was disappointed over Bank
Negara Malaysa Governor
Tan Sri Dr Zeti Ahktar Aziz’s
comment that the ringgit

relating to the controversial
strategic development fund

being “singled out” as the

Why bother with
UMA queries?

ast week, Bloomberg reported that credit
default swap (CDS) traders had assigned
junk bond status to sovereign debt issued by nine developing countries, including
Malaysia.
A CDS is essentially a form of insurance
against default by the issuer of the debt paper.
It is the market pricing of a country’s sovereign risk.
It is worth noting that on Sept 9,rating agency
Standard & Poor’s downgraded Brazil’s rating to
BB-plus, the highest junk rating, from BBB-minus. CDS traders are said to be punishing other
emerging markets facing similar challenges,
sending their implied sovereign ratings at least
five levels below their official grades, according
to data from Moody’s Corp, Bloomberg reported.
Many developing nations face the same problems as Brazil, namely slumping commodity
prices, a weak currency and political turmoil.
According to the report, Moody’s implied
sovereign rating is based on CDS prices as at
Sept 21 compared with peers in the same ratings category. The other countries with huge
gaps in their actual credit rating and market-implied rating were South Africa, China,
Chile, Peru, Bahrain, Turkey and Kazakhstan.
CIMB Group chairman Datuk Seri Nazir
Razak weighed in on the matter, expressing
his concern on social media.
"This is worrying.The market is much more
negative about Malaysia than the rating agencies, taking us into junk category, way below
our fundamentals,” he said, adding his suspicion that this is due to the negative reports on
Malaysia in the international media.
“We have to change the current narrative
about Malaysia with answers or legal suits;
can’t just ignore them.”
Indeed, it is unfortunate that traders have
such a negative perception of Malaysia and
disregard the fundamentals. Even the measures announced by the prime minister and
recommended by the newly formed Special
Economic Committee have failed to change
investors’ views.
Clearly, more needs to be done.
A needless cash call
L
ate last week, Xingquan International
Sports Holdings Ltd announced a corporate exercise under which it would reduce
its paid-up share capital by cancelling US$0.09
from the par value of its US$0.10 shares.
The company also proposed a rights issue
of 253.5 million new shares on the basis of one
rights for every two existing shares held in the
company after the par value reduction exercise, and issue 84.5 million free warrants on
the basis of one warrant for every three rights
shares subscribed.
Based on the indicative issue price of 30
sen, the minimum gross proceeds to be raised
from the proposed rights issue with warrants
is about RM26.9 million, and assuming the
proposed rights issue with warrants is fully
subscribed, the total estimated gross proceeds
to be raised is about RM50.7 million.
Interestingly enough, Xingquan is using
the bulk of the proceeds, RM25.9 million, to
buy machinery, while RM1 million will go to
estimated expenses for the proposals.
It is a wonder why Xingquan is going
through this corporate exercise — and forking out RM1 million in the process — to raise
funds when it had as much as RM889.1 million
in cash and bank balances as at end June this
year. The company’s short-term borrowings
were a mere RM11 million while it had no longterm debt commitments.
Why is Xingquan undertaking a cash call
when it has so much cash in its kitty?
Perhaps it would be best for the company
to give its shareholders an explanation before
embarking on this seemingly unnecessary
corporate exercise.
n Sept 7, Bursa Malaysia issued Tecnic
Group Bhd with an unusual market activity (UMA) query on a sudden sharp rise
in its share price. Tecnic’s shares had gained 30
sen, or a third, to end trading at RM1.20, buoyed
by relatively higher trading volume of almost 1.2
million shares.
The Bursa announcement said investors should
“take note of the company’s reply to the above
UMA…when making their investment decision”.
Tecnic replied stating that “there is no cor-
porate development relating to the group’s business and affairs that have not been previously
announced that may account for the trading
activity, including those in the stage of negotiation/discussion.”
And Tecnic, which is under the PN-16/PN-17
category, added that it is currently studying various options to regularise its financial condition
and/or consider a new business.It added that “at
this juncture,no formal decision or negotiations
has been entered into”.
Tecnic’s shares hovered around RM1.22 on
Sept 8,before dipping 11.5% to RM1.08 on Wednesday. They gained 11 sen or 10% to close the week
at RM1.17.
Then, nine market days later on Sept 21, Tecnic announced that it was the subject of a reverse
takeover by Rohas-Euco Holdings Sdn Bhd in a
deal valued at RM200 million. Tecnic closed last
Friday at RM1.48, a historical high.
This makes one wonder whether UMA queries
serve any real purpose at all.
Last Friday, IFCA MSC Bhd was issued such a
query,its fourth this year,after it gained nine sen
or 10.2% to end trading at 97 sen, and exhibited
heavy trading volume.
It will be interesting to see IFCA’s response
to the UMA, and if any action will be taken if the
reply is inaccurate or fails to highlight important
E
developments.

Private investment shies away
T
BY FOO YEN NE
he volatile exchange rate and political
uncertainties have impacted private
investment in Malaysia this year.
Growth in private investment slowed
sharply to 3.9% in 2Q2015 from 11.7%
in 1Q2015 — the slowest pace since
3Q2011, according to the latest economic data.
Economists foresee the growth pace will
decelerate further if the domestic factors
dampening investing sentiment continue to
prevail. Plus, possible external shocks from
the global economy could stop businesses
from expanding or setting up in new markets.
The scenario is a matter of concern as
private investment has been positioned as
the driving force of the economy. In 2010,
reform-minded Prime Minister Datuk Seri
Najib Razak aimed to transform, through the
Economic Transformation Programme (ETP),
Malaysia’s economy from a government-dominated and commodities-driven model to one
powered by private-sector growth.
To that end, the ETP has achieved early
success. Data presented by Performance Management and Delivery Unity (Pemandu) shows
that from 2011 to 2014, private investment
grew at a compound annual growth of 13.9%,
progressively upstaging public investment. In
2011, private investment made up 56% of the
country’s total investments. It ballooned to
64%, or RM183.9 billion, last year.
But the political uncertainties and volatile
exchange rate rudely interrupted the country’s private investment growth.
The “spillover effect” of external factors
such as the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate
policy and slowing growth in China has unsettled businesses, says private sector economist
Lee Heng Guie. But the biggest obstacle standing in the way of new investment is Malaysia’s
own economic and political woes, he adds.
Lee says the certainty in the Malaysian
economy that investors have come to rely on
is dissipating because of the volatile ringgit.
He points out, “If you look at the private
investment growth momentum, it had been
encouraging in 2010, until it started to slow
down. In 2012, private investment saw 21.4%
growth, 12.8% in 2013 and then 11% in 2014.
In the first half of this year, we saw a more
pronounced slowdown, when it averaged
down to 7.5%.”
The dealings of 1Malaysia Development
Bhd (1MDB) have attracted a lot of negative
publicity. Investigations are being carried out
by authorities domestically and abroad. Lee
says Malaysia’s holy trinity — political stability, strict standards of good governance and
integrity of public institutions — that makes
the country an attractive investment destination is perceived to be at risk.
“These are Malaysia’s investment growth
pull factors.Apart from a strong and stable currency,we need to maintain a business-friendly
environment,” Lee says.
The ringgit has been the worst-performing
currency in the region against the US dollar.
The swing in the exchange rates has put off
investments as costs become difficult to predict and expansion plans hard to execute.
RHB Research economist Peck Boon Soon
expects Malaysia’s private investment growth
to taper to 6% to 7%. He points out that a number of large-scale infrastructure projects,which
usually spur private investment, have already
been rolled out. “This means that we are only
seeing existing investments, not new ones
for the second half of the year,” he explains.
However, he expects private investment
to gather steam once the government kickstarts new mega projects such as Mass Rapid
Transit Line 2.
Despite economists’ generally dampened
outlook for private investment, at least in the
near term, Pemandu CEO Datuk Seri Idris Jala
takes great pride in the country’s record-high
private investments.
“Every single year, for the last few years, has
been a new record for Malaysia. To the critics
who say that Malaysia has lost the confidence
of investors, the data is telling otherwise. Every
single year, we have had record investments.
This year, if we look at prorated, annualised
numbers, we should achieve another record,”
he said at the Economic Update 2015 Forum
last Monday.
“If I take a look at Miti’s (Ministry of International Trade and Industry) approved investments in the past few years, every single year
has shown record approval numbers.They are
in the pipeline, not yet realised. When those
numbers are implemented, it will lead to record (investment growth),” he added.
Indeed, Miti approved investments worth
RM113.5 billion in 1H2015, an improvement
from RM112 billion in the same period a year
ago. Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said at
the same forum that he has approved investments of up to RM20 billion so far, on top of
the RM113.5 billion in 1H2015.
Out of the RM113.5 billion, 81.1% were domestic direct investments and the remainder,
foreign investments. Realised private investment numbers were also encouraging — up
5.6% to RM56.99 billion in 1H2015 year-onyear, according to the Malaysian Investment
Development Authority.
However, the private investment figures
are debatable as a large part of the ETP’s investments is driven by GLCs.
Miti’s approved investments also do not
always translate into realised investments.
Peck says, “The government would have
seen investment approval numbers and concluded that they are quite healthy. But, they
are just approvals. Businesses can delay the
implementation of their expansion plans.
They will wait for conditions to improve before putting their money on the ground.”
In early September, the government introduced special economic measures and ordered
government-linked agencies (GLCs) that are
invested overseas to bring the funds back for
domestic investment.
“In recent years,we have seen many Malaysian companies go abroad. As at June 2015, we
had net investment abroad of RM522 billion
compared with net foreign direct investment
(FDI) into Malaysia of RM477 billion,” said
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department
Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar at the forum.
“When the companies generate returns from
these investments, it is good to lock them in
and bring back the profits.”
It is worth noting that Malaysia has the
fifth-largest investment outflow among East
and Southeast Asian nations. The United Nations World Investment Report 2015 put the
number at US$16.4 billion in 2014, a 16.6%
growth year-on-year.
Government investment holding arm Khazanah Nasional Bhd will be injecting RM6.77
billion into various sectors on the economy but
economists say the impact might be limited.
“Additional investment spending by Khazanah
should boost economic output at the margin
but most of the benefits of the spending won’t
be seen until at least 2016 and possibly, as late
as the 2017-2020 period. Relative to the size
of the Malaysian economy, the investments
are fairly modest, amounting to about 0.3%
of current-year GDP,” says CME Group senior
economist Erik Norland.
Najib’s decision to fall back on GLCs’ widespread influence in times of need is an obvious one as the country is finding it hard to
convince the business community, both local
and international, to invest more.
Hopefully, public investment, which may
have to be the “locomotive” of the country’s
economic growth, would be able to cushion
any adverse impact from continued lacklustre private investment until the dust settles
on the domestic political front and the world
E
economy.

merging markets are definitely caught
between a rock and a hard place.
For all the debate and hand wringing over when the US Federal Reserve
will hike rates, for the first time since
the 2008 global financial crisis, there
really is no good outcome for emerging economies, especially those dependent on commodity exports.
As we witnessed last week, global stocks
and commodities were buffeted after the Fed
decided to stay its hand in September.
Investors interpreted the US Federal Reserve’s cautious outlook as a warning of sorts,
that global growth is weaker than expected.
Aside from the US, developed markets in
Europe and Japan are still struggling while
emerging economies led by China are slowing down. This view was further supported
by the most recent slew of data out of China,
which continued to point to an economy that
is losing steam.
The Chinese government is navigating a
path that can be fraught with execution errors, in transitioning its economy from one
that is driven by investment and export to
a consumption-led model. In essence, the
current slowdown is structural not cyclical.
In fact, it is quite likely that we may never again see the kind of breakneck pace of
growth the world has been so accustomed
to — and taken for granted — in the past two
decades. This is why commodities are suffering, and badly.
China is the world’s largest consumer of
commodities, almost everything from energy
to industrial metals to agriculture produce.
It doesn’t help that many commodities are
also suffering from the double whammy of
rising supply, the result of increased investments following years of high prices as well
as generally favourable weather conditions
for farmers.
Prices for two of Malaysia’s key exports
— crude oil and crude palm oil (CPO) — remained more or less range-bound, with no
sustainable and material recovery in sight.
The global benchmark, Brent crude futures,
are hovering around US$48 per barrel, at the
point of writing. CPO futures are doing slightly
better, at above RM2,200 per tonne, supported
by the weak ringgit.
So, to recap, global stocks and commodities

tumbled after the Fed kept rates unchanged.
But when the US does raise rates, things are
unlikely to brighten for emerging countries.
Indeed, rising interest rates will very possibly
result in persistent capital outflows and even
weaker currencies for the latter.
By week’s end, Janet Yellen was already
arguing her case for a rate hike before the
year is out. And after a very brief reprieve, the
ringgit resumed its downward trend.
The ringgit slumped to fresh lows, not
seen since the Asian financial crisis, closing
at 4.385 against the US dollar on Friday. Anxiety is high that our currency may be headed
into uncharted territory.
The greenback is in the ascendant, as its
economy continues to gain traction.The oppo-
site is true for our domestic economy, which
is weighed down by low commodity prices,
slowing Chinese growth and regional trade
that is further compounded by political uncertainties. The government has yet to announce meaningful measures that will spur
structural reforms and promote growth for
the real economy.
Aside from the ringgit, another fallout
could be our sovereign credit rating. A ratings
downgrade could very well result in greater
capital outflows and higher borrowing costs.
Stocks on the local bourse gave back almost
all of the gains from the previous week. The
FBM KLCI fell 3.3% to close at 1,615 Friday.
I expect sentiment to remain poor in the
near to medium term given the myriad un-
certainties, external and domestic.
Positively, prices for my basket of stocks
held up comparatively well in the broader
market selloff. Total value for my portfolio
was up a marginal 0.6% for the week.
Followers of this column would have noticed that I have stayed on the sidelines for
the past few weeks. And I am holding more
cash, nearly 60% of total portfolio value.
My portfolio has already done quite well in
the past one year. Total portfolio value, since
inception (October 10, 2014), is up 8.9%. My

Not all planters to benefit from El Niño

he incoming El Niño weather may be supporting crude
palm oil (CPO) prices, but the
outlook for the plantation
sector remains subdued since
the drier-than-normal weather in the coming months will mean
lower yields for planters.
Since the beginning of the month,
CPO prices have gained over 23%, to
close at RM2,302 per tonne last week.
Arguably, some of the impact could be
due to the depreciation of the ringgit.
In US dollar terms, CPO prices have
gained 19.37% to US$525 per tonne.
The rebound in CPO prices would
have been even sharper if not for the
high palm oil and soybean stocks,
which are dampening the El Niño
effect on CPO prices. Recall that Malaysian palm oil inventories hit a
31-month high of 2.49 million tonnes
in August, driven by high production.
While analysts continue to be
“neutral” on the sector overall, not
all planters are created equal. Some
will be better able to maintain palm
oil yields to fully benefit from the El
Niño-driven CPO prices.
“The El Niño event is typically positive for CPO prices, as the shortfall
in supply caused by the drought has
boosted palm oil prices in the past.The
CPO price reaction to El Niño has been
weak so far due to high soybean and
palm oil stocks.We expect the current
El Nino to boost the average CPO price
in 2016 to RM2,450 per tonne,” writes
CIMB in a research report last week.
El Niño refers to the large-scale
ocean atmosphere climate phenomenon linked to a periodic warming of
sea-surface temperatures across the
central and east-central equatorial Pacific. El Niño episodes typically occur
every three to five years and can last
between 9 and 12 months, developing
around March to June for peak intensity in December to April.
The phenomenon typically shifts
rainfall patterns, causing less rainfall
in Indonesia and South America, and
excess rainfall in southeastern South
America and in the southern US.
Research reports point out that
that El Niño conditions began developing in March and are expected to
last till May 2016. California in the US
and Riau in Indonesia have already
declared states of emergency due to
forest fires, which have been attributed to El Niño-led dryness.
Looking ahead,Indonesia’s Meteorology Department is already forecasting a drier October and warns that the
drought might last till February with
areas in southeast Indonesia expected to be far drier than the west coast.
(See weather forecast map)
“For Malaysia,we have established
that Sabah is the worst hit, while for
Indonesia, we believe that Kalimantan is worst hit. Companies with the
largest exposure to these two areas are IJM Plantations Bhd (fundamental: 1.60; valuation: 0.80), Goldern
Agri-Resources Ltd (fundamental:
0.55; valuation: 1.40),PT Dharma Satya
Nusantara, Bumitama Agri Ltd (fundamental: 1.15; valuation: 0.50), Wilmar International Ltd (fundamental:
0.80; valuation: 2.60) and Genting
Plantations Bhd (fundamental: 2.70;
valuation: 0.80),” writes Credit Suisse
in a report. (See table)
Indonesia’s PT Eagle High Plan-
tations Tbk and Malaysia’s TSH Resources Bhd (fundamental: 0.30; valuation: 0.50) also have high exposures
to these regions.
The length and the severity of the
dry spell will also play a big role in CPO
prices as well as planters’ earnings
“Approximately 8 to 20 weeks of
low rainfall or prolonged drought can
induce moisture stress on palm and
impact subsequent FFB [fresh fruit
bunch] yields from the oil palm trees,”
writes CIMB Research.
This could lead to multiple lagged
effects on palm oil production in the
coming months, adds the report. FFB
failure can occur four to six months
later, floral abortion 10 to 12 months
later and sex differentiation as long
as 22 to 24 months after the drought.
Notably, planters with younger
trees are expected to do better, since
the younger trees would be more robust in a drought.For this reason,CIMB
Research’s top picks include First Resources Ltd (fundamental: 1.15; valuation: 1.20) and Genting Plantations.
Genting Plantations, for example,
has an exposure of 85% to the aforementioned drought-prone areas of
Sabah and Kalimantan. Yet, young
trees, coupled with a strong balance
sheet, have made the planter CIMB’s
top Malaysian pick with a target price
of RM10.50.
Interestingly, the Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities
last Friday announced an RM100 million Oil Palm Replanting Scheme (SITS
2015), that will begin on Oct 1, with
a goal of replanting some 83,000ha.
Under the scheme, eligible applicants may apply for a RM1,500 per
hectare incentive to replant the first
33,000ha under the scheme as part
of Phase 1. Phase 2 will see an incentive of RM1,000 per hectare for the
remaining 50,000ha.
SITS 2015 is expected to reduce
CPO production by 250,000 tonnes,
to help ease the oversupply challenges that the sector is grappling with.
The impact of the scheme however,
is relatively mild compared to the El
Niño effect (which could reduce CPO
production by more than two million
tonnes per annum by 2016.
However, it depends on how severe
El Niño will be. Current sea surface
temperatures over the central Pacific
Ocean are showing that a moderate
El Niño is present. However, the latest indicators presented at an El Niño
seminar in Kuala Lumpur last week,
suggest that it will strengthen in the
next few weeks. This could lead to
extremely dry weather in Sumatra,
as well as Sabah.
According to CIMB Research, a
moderate El Niño is expected to decelerate global palm oil production
growth to 3% and 1% year on year
(y-o-y) to 62.7 million tonnes in 2015
and 63.3 million tonnes in 2016.
(Note: the El Niño effect straddles
the end of 2015 and the beginning
of 2016.)
Meanwhile,a strong El Niño would

While a stronger soybean crop
would put downward pressure on
CPO prices, “shortages in rapeseed oil
and gradual progress in Indonesia’s

help provide support to CPO prices

Astro entices next generation of subscribers
MOHD IZWAN MOHD NAZAM/THE EDGE
A
BY LIEW JIA TENG
stro Malaysia Holdings
Bhd is embracing the
mobility element in its
next phase of growth as
the media and entertainment giant seeks to capture future generations of content
subscribers.
Astro Malaysia CEO and executive director Datuk Rohana Rozhan
acknowledges that the classic linear
TV broadcast is no longer sufficient
to cater to the changing consumption habits of younger consumers.
With that in mind, the pay-TV operator has started to evolve for the
digital age.
“The one phenomenon is the
individual space, the smart devices
space. Sometime back, we launched
Astro on the Go and we have made
some progress. Now, we have to
move seriously into that space,”
she tells The Edge in an exclusive
interview.
To tap the market, Astro had, in
2012, first offered the Astro on the
Go service to all Malaysians, including non-Astro TV subscribers. The
mobile app gives subscribers access
to live TV channels as well as live
sports and entertainment events on
a computer, tablet or smartphone.
“It’s funny how some customers,
even though they have Astro in the
home, prefer to keep their privacy
and subscribe to something on their
own,” says Rohana, “The reality of
content consumption is [that] the
linear push is not sufficient. We
embrace the mobility element.”
In the first half ended July 31,
2015 (1HFY2016), Astro on the Go recorded 1.8 million downloads, with
an average weekly viewing time of
140 minutes. Considering that 90%
of Malaysians have smart devices
and consume seven hours of content
on a daily basis, it is understandable that Astro wants to move into
that space.
With that in mind, Astro aims to
reach 2.5 million downloads by the
end of FY2016 with a weekly viewing time of 180 minutes per user.
“We have 4.6 million households,
each home has four to five people
in it, so there is no reason why [we
cannot hit the target]. We want to
capture the market share of that
seven hours of content viewing,
and these numbers are starting to
make sense,” she says.
The whole idea of entering the
individual and smart device space
is as much about increasing Astro’s
average revenue per user (ARPU),
which stood at RM99 in 1HFY2016
and is expected to reach RM100
by end FY2016, as it is about how
technology and consumer needs
have evolved.
“It’s more like family viewing
now, as people are watching on a
big screen in the living room. But
when they are in the individual
space, each one wants to watch a
different thing. So, when the aggregate consumption as a family
goes up, hopefully they will buy a
bigger package from us,” she says.
Meanwhile, in the traditional
home segment, Astro is also urging
subscribers to connect their set-top
boxes to the Internet in order to
access its video-on-demand (VOD)
E-commerce the
next big thing for Astro

She was the group chief financial
officer of Astro All Asia Networks
Ltd, and was instrumental in its
listing on Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange in 2003.
Astro (fundamental: 1.10; valuation: 1.70) is 41%-owned by business
tycoon T Ananda Krishnan while
sovereign wealth fund Khazanah
Nasional Bhd also has a 20.7% stake.
CO N T I N U E S O N PAG E 73
ince its foray into
e-commerce last November,
Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd
has been encouraged by the highly
positive customer response.
In fact, the media and
entertainment group plans to stay
in this business for the long term —
and not just to test the waters, as
some quarters may suggest.
Astro has a presence in
e-commerce via Go Shop, a
platform-agnostic home shopping
proposition that was officially
launched in January this year. It is
available on Astro and Astro on the
Go as well as its website and mobile
app.
The group’s wholly owned
retailing arm, Astro Retail Ventures
Sdn Bhd, has a 60% stake in
Astro GS Shop Sdn Bhd, a joint
venture (JV) with South Korean
TV shopping channel operator GS
Home Shopping Inc.
According to Astro Malaysia
CEO and executive director Datuk
Rohana Rozhan, the group intends
to become a strong player in the
local e-commerce space, which is
expected to be worth RM21 billion
in the next five years.
“We are looking at revenue of
about RM200 million this [financial]
year, and if you think about it, this
is only our first year [in the home
shopping business]. There’s huge
potential, not only in Go Shop
but also the whole e-commerce
aspect,” she tells The Edge.
Astro’s home shopping
segment has delivered a stellar
performance, generating revenue
of RM74 million in the first half
ended July 31, 2015 (1HFY2016).
Despite poor consumer
sentiment — Malaysian Institute of
Economic Research’s consumer
sentiment index fell to a five-year
low of 71.7 in the second quarter of
this year — Astro’s home shopping
sales remained resilient at RM38
million in the second quarter ended
July 31, 2015 (2QFY2016).
In 1QFY2016, Go Shop
contributed revenue of RM37
million, up from RM25 million in
4QFY2015.
Rohana acknowledges that in
Malaysia, the main challenges for
e-commerce players have always
been the distribution network and
delivery system. Therefore, Astro
has worked hard to build its logistic
network, e-payment gateway and
retailing merchandise expertise.
“E-commerce has been a big
success for us, and we always
know this is a good opportunity.
However, we have to make sure
that the whole ecosystem is
supportive and mature enough,
so that we won’t put our brand
at risk by giving a bad customer
experience,” she stresses.
In the first three months after
its soft launch in November last
year, Go Shop had got about
75,000 customers, of which almost
a quarter were repeat customers
who have purchased over 120,000
products.
In 1QFY2016, Go Shop served
more than 160,000 customers,
who bought some 175,000
products.
Go Shop offers a wide range
of products — from digital and
electronic offerings to home and
kitchen appliances, lifestyle and
fashion accessories and cosmetics.
Top selling products include the
Steam Q iron, Shimono vacuum
cleaner and digital Quran pen.
Following the success of its
first Go Shop channel in Bahasa
Malaysia, Astro will launch a
Chinese Go Shop channel in
November.
In Malaysia, the e-commerce
market is expected to continue
on a strong growth trajectory,
reaching an estimated market
value of RM5.8 billion in 2015, as
Malaysians become increasingly
connected and tech savvy, and
more receptive to the idea of home
shopping.
While home shopping appears
to be a lucrative business, Rohana
warns that any new entrant to the
e-commerce market would not
have a ready customer base that is
as huge as Astro’s.
“We own the production facility,
we got the studio, talent, 24/7 call
centre facilities and satellite capacity.
And the most beautiful part of it is,
we have a distribution reach of 4.6
million households,” she says.
Hong Leong Investment Bank
Research analyst Mardhiah Omar,
in a Sept 17 report, says Astro’s
home shopping business is one
of the contributing factors to her
“buy” call on the counter, for which
she maintains a target price of
RM3.56.
Credit Suisse analyst Danny
Chan opines that Astro’s home
shopping business remains as a
key long-term investment catalyst,
thanks to its growth prospects.
“In our view, management’s 2019
sales target of RM500 million is
not impossible to achieve, and this
division, on a stand-alone basis,
could be worth 40 sen per share, or
RM2.94 in a blue-sky scenario,” he
says in a Sept 15 report.
Astro closed at RM2.88
last Friday, giving it a market
capitalisation of RM14.98 billion.
If the estimation by Credit
Suisse is correct, Astro’s home
shopping business could be worth
some RM2.08 billion, representing
14% of its market capitalisation.
Eventually, the merchandising
division alone could be worth
RM15.29 billion.
Given its expected big jump in
revenue and market capitalisation,
it would be interesting to see if
Astro will consider a spin-off listing
E
of Go Shop in the future.

Wan Azmi back in the game?
I
B Y Y E N N E FO O
t takes a lot to excite the stock market these
days but Bursa Malaysia is now abuzz with
the prospective return of one of its most
prominent figures, Tan Sri Wan Azmi Wan
Hamzah.
Last Monday,Tecnic Group Bhd announced
that it could be the subject of a reverse takeover (RTO), as Wan Azmi’s Rohas-Euco Holdings
Sdn Bhd is offering to sell its entire equity interest in Rohas-Euco Industries Bhd (REI) for
RM200 million to Tecnic (fundamental: 1.95;
valuation: 2.10).
REI is principally involved in the design and
fabrication of steel structures for high-tension
towers, microwave towers and substation structures. It was listed on Bursa Malaysia before
Wan Azmi took it private in 2007.
The RTO is satisfied by the issuance of 317.5
million new 10 sen shares in Tecnic at 63 sen a
piece, which will effectively give Rohas-Euco
an 88.7% stake in Tecnic. Whether Rohas-Euco
opts for a placement of shares or sells some of
its stake to meet the shareholding spread of
25% remains to be seen.
Nevertheless, if the RTO is concluded, the
deal will represent Wan Azmi’s first involvement in a listed entity in Malaysia since he
sold his 11.95% stake in Penang-based property
developer Eastern & Oriental Bhd (fundamental: 1.30; valuation: 1.40) to government-linked
conglomerate Sime Darby Bhd (fundamental:
0.80; valuation: 1.40) in 2011 for a sizeable profit.
Unlike E&O, where he was a passive shareholder, chances are he will be in control of
Tecnic.
KENNY YAP/THE EDGE
A search with the Companies Commission
of Malaysia indicates that Rohas-Euco is almost
75% controlled by Wan Azmi and his wife Puan
Sri Nik Anida Nik Manshor, while the remainder is held by Chan Liew Hoon (14.3%) and Sia
Bun Chun (10.8%).
Rohas-Euco’s financials were not available
as it is exempt from disclosing its financials or
the value of its assets and liabilities.
Wan Azmi’s comeback is creating ripples
because few characters in Corporate Malaysia can boast a résumé like his. He made an
impression as a member of former finance
minister Tun Daim Zainuddin’s troop of young
Malay entrepreneurs in the 1970s and became
prominent thereafter through his association
with the minister.
Wan Azmi became CEO of Malayan Banking
Bhd (fundamental: 1.40; valuation: 2.25) in 1985,
an unexpected appointment given his young
age and the shoes he was expected to fill.Then
35, Wan Azmi replaced Tan Sri Jaffar Hussein,
who had been appointed governor of Bank
Negara Malaysia. It was after his brief stint
at Malaysia’s largest banking group that Wan
Azmi started to make a name as entrepreneur.
His first venture was buying into loss-making sawmiller and timber trader, General Lumber (Holdings) Bhd, in 1987. He turned it into
an integrated timber player with downstream
businesses before transforming it into a property firm, which he named Land & General
Bhd (L&G).
L&G’s first flagship development was the
Bandar Sri Damansara. However, the company ran into financial trouble during the financial crisis in 1997 as its debt level ballooned to
Wan Azmi’s comeback is creating ripples
RM600 million.Wan Azmi sold his stake in 2002.
The tycoon was also involved in various
listed entities, including Rashid Hussain Bhd,
Gadek (Malaysia) Bhd, Malaysian Resources
Corp Bhd, Cycle & Carriage Bhd, Kretam Holdings Bhd and Bumi Armada Bhd.
His other intriguing business moves include the acquisition of a 20% stake in Nanyang Press, which publishes Chinese language
newspapers, and a 51% stake in Juara Perkasa
Corp Bhd, which was eventually sold to cigarette maker RJ Reynolds.
Currently, his 30% stake in private outfit
Syarikat Pengeluar Air Selangor Holdings Bhd
(Splash) is one of his most notable assets. In
2000, he worked with the Selangor government
and Gamuda Bhd to build a RM2.1 billion dam
and two water treatment plants in Selangor.
Selangor has been involved in a long-drawnout water assets restructuring exercise with the
other stakeholders,with Wan Azmi and Gamuda
(fundamental: 1.80; valuation: 2) unwilling to
relinquish the water treatment assets to the
state due to a disagreement on price.
Wan Azmi’s interests are not confined to
Malaysia. He has stakes in two AIM-listed firms
— Steppe Cement Ltd, a Malaysian-incorporated
firm with a cement manufacturing business
based in Kazakhstan, and PureCircle Ltd,which
makes a plant-based sweetener.
The Tecnic RTO is still in its early stages.
Rohas-Euco and Tecnic have signed a memorandum of understanding, agreeing to negotiate exclusively and finalise a sale and purchase agreement within two months of the
due diligence process.
If successful, it should prove to be a marriage of convenience for both parties. Tecnic
— now a cash-rich firm after selling its entire
plastic products manufacturing business to
sister company, SKP Resources Bhd, for RM200
million last October — needs a new business
to keep its listing status.
The company has made it clear to its shareholders that the MOU will not have an impact
on its earnings, assets, gearing or share capital.
But, the market knows enough to be thrilled.
In a week,Tecnic’s share price rose 23% to close
E
at RM1.48 last Friday.

LBS Bina targets Zhuhai project approval in 12 months
L
BY KAMARUL AZHAR
BS Bina Group Bhd’s long wait of more
than 10 years to monetise and redevelop its assets in Zhuhai City, Guangdong
Province, China, may end soon. Its
managing director Tan Sri Lim Hock
San expects the approval for the conceptual design to come from the local governments in the next 12 months.
He tells The Edge that there will be 14 projects on the Zhuhai International Circuit (ZIC)
land, including hotels, factory outlets, a theme
park, residences and a Malaysia cultural centre,
besides the car racing circuit itself.
“We are targeting for the conceptual design of the project to be approved by the local
government in the next 12 months. With the
project getting the nod from the provincial
government, the local government will speed
up the approval process,” says Lim.
To recap, LBS Bina (fundamental: 1.00; valuation: 2.40) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Zhuhai Jiuzhou Holdings
Group Co Ltd on Sept 19 for the proposed upgrading of ZIC. LBS Bina has a 60% stake in ZIC
project through its wholly owned subsidiary
Lamdeal Investment Ltd.
Under the MoU, the upgrading plan is outlined by four concepts.The project will integrate
motorsport into a modern urban lifestyle as
well as have a comprehensive service centre,
special attractions for cultural exchanges, a
Melaka cultural museum and a Made in Malaysia Excellence exhibition hall.
The signing of the MoU was witnessed by
Melaka head of state Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob,
Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron
and Guangdong Province Governor Zhu Xiaodan.
The presence of both Melaka’s head of state
and Guangdong’s governor shows that the relationship between Malaysia and China is much
stronger, says Lim. Zhu and Idris agreed to enhance friendly and cooperative relations between
the south-eastern province of China and Melaka.
“This cooperation is part of China’s One Belt,
One Road policy, and we are happy to be a part
of it,” says Lim.
The redevelopment of ZIC has always been
on the cards for LBS Bina, ever since it was listed
on Bursa Malaysia through a reverse takeover
of Instangreen Corp Bhd in 2002. There were
three assets in Zhuhai City, including ZIC, that
LBS Bina inherited from Instangreen.
The other two were a 328-acre golf course
and a 197-acre development land, both of which
have been sold to Zhuhai Holdings Investment
Group Ltd for HK$1.65 billion — to be settled with
HK$1.35 billion cash and 225.5 million shares or
a 16% stake in Zhuhai Holdings.
The cash payments were divided into four
tranches between 2014 and 2017. So far, LBS has
received HK$950 million in cash payments.
LBS Bina has utilised part of the cash to pare
down its borrowings,reducing its gearing to 21%
currently from 68% in the financial year ended Dec 31, 2012 (FY2012). Its gearing is expected
to drop further to 5.4% in FY2015, says JF Apex
Securities Bhd analyst Lee Chung Cheng, who
covers the company.
He estimates LBS Bina’s stake in ZIC to be
worth RM690 million. The company’s market
capitalisation stands at RM838 million, based
on the stock’s closing price of RM1.54 last Friday.
Its share price has increased 19.5% since Sept 1.
Lee pegs LBS Bina’s target price at RM1.70,
implying an 11.6 times FY2016 forecast earnings per share.
LBS Bina announced the receipt of the second
tranche of HK$800 million in cash from Zhuhai
Holdings on Sept 1, four months earlier than the
agreed date of Dec 31 as per the disposal deal.
The developer has allocated HK$80 million for
dividends. This would translate into dividends
of about 8.3 sen per share.
However,the signing of the MoU did not bring
much excitement to LBS Bina’s share price,which
could be partly due to the fact that all the parties
have yet to sign a firm development agreement.
Furthermore, China’s economy has been on
a slower trajectory since the first quarter of last
year. The world’s second biggest economy expanded 7% year on year in the second quarter of
this year, the same rate seen in the first quarter,
which was the slowest since 2009.
China’s property market has also experienced
a slowdown.Growth in real estate investment in
the country continued to slow in the first eight
months of the year to 3.5% y-o-y, compared with
10.4% in January, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China.
This raises the question of the timing of
the project.
“Yes,China’s economy is slowing down.However, tourism is big in China. The project will
have many tourist attractions such as a theme
park and a Malaysia-China cultural centre,”
Lim says, adding that the development will be
undertaken in partnership with other parties.
The racing circuit is currently being used
by racing clubs from Hong Kong and Macau,
and as a test ground for car manufacturers. It
incurred a net loss of RM5.53 million in the first
half of FY2014 with revenue of RM10.5 million.
Nonetheless, Zhuhai’s economy may get a
boost next year as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau
Bridge will be completed then. Construction of
the 50km link started in 2011,with an estimated
cost of US$10.6 billion. The combined population of the special administrative regions and
E
Zhuhai is about nine million.

Will banking headwinds in China
hurt Malaysian lenders?
T
B Y A D E L I N E PAU L R A J
here is growing concern
about China’s banking sector as lenders, after years
of solid growth, grapple
with rising bad loans and
tepid profits amid the
weakening economy. This begs the
question as to what extent the headwinds there will impact Malaysian
banking groups with exposure to
the sector.
Notably, CIMB Group Holdings
Bhd and Hong Leong Bank Bhd each
has an associate stake in small commercial banks there. CIMB (fundamental: 1.05; valuation: 2.25) has
a 20% stake and is the single largest shareholder of Bank of Yingkou
Co Ltd in Liaoning province, while
Hong Leong (fundamental: 2.80;
valuation: 2.70) has 20% in Bank of
Chengdu Co Ltd, Sichuan.
Malayan Banking Bhd has three
branches in mainland China, while
CIMB has one. Public Bank Bhd has a
retail and commercial banking subsidiary based in Hong Kong, Public
Bank (HK) Ltd.
Just last week, in a move that
rattled investors, Standard & Poor’s
Ratings Services revised downwards
its assessment of the economic risks
facing China’s banking industry
REUTERS
to “negative” from “stable”. It said
China’s banks faced growing risks
tied to bad loans and problems in
the property sector.
“We view economic risks for China’s banking industry as high,” the
US credit rating agency said in a
Sept 21 report.
As it stands, many banks there
are already seeing stagnant profit
growth, even as the slowing economy increases the likelihood of
borrowers having trouble repaying loans. In March this year, China announced an economic growth
target of about 7% for 2015, which
would be the slowest rate in 25 years.
Even after five interest rate cuts
and a few reductions in bank reserve requirements since November,
economists say China may struggle
to reach that target. Last year, the
world’s second largest economy
expanded by 7.4%.
Four of China’s biggest banks last
month reported only small growth
in net profit for the first half of the
year, while their non-performing
loan (NPL) ratios went up.
Net profit at Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd (ICBC),
the world’s largest bank by assets,
as well as Agricultural Bank of China and China Construction Bank
(CCB), grew by less than 1% for the

The growth was sharply lower than that in the first six months
of last year, when ICBC’s net profit grew by 7%, Agricultural Bank’s
grew 13% and BoC’s, 11%. According
to press reports out of Beijing, Chinese lenders are facing their worst
year in more than a decade.
ICBC’s NPL ratio inched up to
1.4% at end-June from 1.29% at endMarch, while Agricultural Bank’s
moved up to 1.83% from 1.65% and
BoC’s grew to 1.4% from 1.33%. CCB’s
rose to 1.42% from 1.19% at end-December 2014.
While these NPL ratios are nothing out of the ordinary when compared with global standards, analysts and industry observers wonder
if the ratios could actually be higher
than what is reported.
“Given the economic downturn
and the increasing NPL pressures,
there is increasing market talk that
banks are less stringent in booking
NPLs. In our view, large banks continue to maintain higher NPL recognition standards, but some midsized banks do report lags between
their overdue loans and NPLs,” says
UOB Kay Hian Research in a Sept 8
report on the Chinese banking sector.
While all these point to a grim
outlook for the sector, analysts are
not overly concerned about the potential impact on CIMB, Hong Leong, Maybank (fundamental: 1.40;
valuation: 2.25) and Public Bank
(fundamental: 2.80; valuation: 1.80).
“Their exposure and earnings
contributions from China is small,
especially when you compare it to
some of the banks’ key overseas
markets like Singapore, Indonesia
and Thailand. So, I don’t think it’s
something to be overly concerned
about,” says Kelvin Ong, a banking
analyst at MIDF Research.
Nevertheless, analysts expect
the banks’ profit contribution from
China to come down. Hong Leong is
expected to be the most impacted as

it draws a higher proportion of its
earnings from China than the rest.
“Bank of Chengdu accounts for
about 14% to 15% of Hong Leong’s
profit before tax (PBT), so the profit
contribution is quite meaningful
per se. Bank of Chengdu’s NPLs are
on the rise and loan loss coverage
levels have come off quite significantly, so it’s a bit of a concern for
Hong Leong,” says another analyst.
Bank of Chengdu accounted for
14.6% of Hong Leong’s PBT in the
last financial year ended June 30,
2015. The Chinese lender’s profit
contribution that year grew by 8.9%
to RM401.3 million.
By comparison, Bank of Yingkou
accounted for less than 1% of CIMB’s
bottom line in the last financial
year. Contribution from the Chinese lender grew 19.4% to RM114.5
million for the year ended Dec 30,
2014, due to better interest income
on the back of higher loan growth
and fixed income investment.
Still, profit contribution in the
final quarter that year fell by 40.7%
to RM18.2 million from the third
quarter.
CIMB accounts for its share of
profit and draws small dividends
from Bank of Yingkou, says a banking source, who adds that the Chinese business is “still doing okay”
and has yet to see a rise in NPL ratio.
“In the case of Maybank and Public
Bank,the impact is insignificant.Public Bank does predominantly Hong
Kong business, and finds it hard to
penetrate mainland China. The Chinese business contributes very little
to Public Bank and Maybank’s earnings,” an analyst says.
Analyst David Chong of RHB Research says the impact from China’s slowing economy on Malaysian banks may also include slower
trade finance business, apart from
softer growth in contribution from
E
associates.

Coincidences abound at Lay Hong
Q
BY BEN SHANE LIM
L Resources Bhd may have given up
its plans to privatise Lay Hong Bhd,
but the latter’s share price seems
to be performing better than ever.
Could the 22% rally in the egg
layer’s share price to RM4.30 last
week have something to do with the emergence of new shareholders, which includes
the ubiquitous investor Chin Boon Long?
Chin is best known for rejecting Ninetology Marketing Sdn Bhd’s 55 sen per share offer
for Ingenuity Solutions Bhd (now renamed
Ingenuity Consolidated Bhd) back in 2012
when he had a 29.15% stake in the company.
Minority shareholders then were left fuming
when Chin walked away from an easy RM90
million had he accepted the offer, causing the
share price to collapse back to 12 sen.
Apart from his newly acquired 7.4% stake in
Lay Hong (fundamental: 0.75: valuation: 1.40),
Chin also held substantial stakes in companies like 1Utopia Bhd, Takaso Resources Bhd,
Spring Gallery Bhd and Persona Metro Bhd.
In an interesting turn of events, Lay Hong’s
controlling shareholder, Yap Hoong Chai, last
month took substantial positions in two companies linked to Chin — Takaso (fundamental: 1.65: valuation: 0.30) and Spring Gallery
(fundamental: 1.65: valuation: 0.30).
When contacted, Chin declined to comment. At Lay Hong’s general meeting earlier

this month however, Yap told the press that
he was unaware who QL Resources would be
selling the shares to.
So is it merely a coincidence that Yap took
positions in companies that Chin was exiting,
just weeks before Chin bought into Lay Hong?
Here is a recap of recent shareholding
changes:
On Aug 14, Yap, through his 87.5%-controlled Innofarm Sdn Bhd, acquired 13.997
million shares in Takaso, or a 6.815% stake, for
an estimated RM7.7 million in an off-market
transaction. Including an acquisition of 1.72
million shares on the open market, Yap now
has a 7.65% stake in Innofarm.
Chin, along with his brother, used to be one
of the largest shareholders in Takaso with a
16% stake at its peak in mid-2014.
Subsequently, on Aug 24, Yap through Innofarm would acquire 7.67 million shares in
Spring Gallery (formerly PFCE Bhd) for RM5.06
million or 66 sen a share, through off-market
transactions.
Chin did not surface as a substantial shareholder in Spring Gallery, but held a 4.73% stake
in the company as at Aug 27, 2014, based on the
company’s annual report.
At this stage, it would have been known that
QL Resources’ 38.6% stake in Lay Hong was
up for sale, with RHB Investment Bank acting
as the placement agent. However, it was only
on Sept 11 that QL Resources sold its shares to
RHB Investment for a mere RM3.05 per share.
This was a 22% discount to Lay Hong’s share
price of RM3.90 the same day and a 12.9% discount to the RM3.50 per share voluntary general offer price that QL Resources had earlier
offered to privatise Lay Hong last year.
According to Bursa filings, Chin would
acquire his 7.4% interest in Lay Hong on the
same day, along with Kenanga Investment
Bank and Greenfield Hills Sdn Bhd, which
took up stakes of 15.56% and 6.3%, respectively.
It is not clear who Kenanga Investment
Bank is holding the shares for.
Interestingly, Greenfield Hills earlier this
year acquired a 30.9% stake in Spring Gallery.
Greenfield Hills was only incorporated in
March this year, and bought the major stake
in Spring Gallery on May 5. The company is
controlled equally by Rabindranah Nandy, 71,
and Muahamad Hamizan Megat Shamsudin, 25.
At this point however, it is not clear from
whom Yap bought the Spring Gallery shares
since it hasn’t been announced yet. Interestingly, the off-market transactions that Yap
used to acquire the shares were all in blocks
of less than 5%. If no substantial shareholders were involved, no announcement to Bursa
Malaysia would be necessary.
As for the shares acquired from Takaso, it

contracts have firm day rates, natural hedge
against inflation and there is no termination
for convenience. Even though the company has
been going through challenges recently, there
have been no indications of any slowdown in
production from Petrobras,” he says.
Note that Petrobras produced a record 2.69
million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day in
August, which is a 3.1% increase over July and
almost 1% higher than the previous 2.67 million
boe per day in December 2014.
To recap, in November 2011, SapuraKencana’s 50:50 joint venture company with Seadrill
Ltd, Sapura Navegacao Maritima SA (SNM), was
awarded a five plus five-year US$1.4 billion contract to build and operate three PLSVs. In June
2013, SNM secured a similar contract on an eight
plus eight-year call for another three PLSVs for
US$2.7 billion.
“SapuraKencana has delivered three vessels
(Sapura Diamante, Sapura Topazio and Sapura Onix)
three months earlier than its contractual start
dates and all its vessels have been accepted and
put to work in Petrobras’ deepwater pre-salt fields.
The other three PLSVs — Sapura Esmerelda,
Sapura Jade and Sapura Rubi — are expected to
start work in Brazil in 2017.
“In terms of payments, they have been making prompt payments every 30 days on the dot,”
notes the source, adding that all the six vessels
are fully funded, testimony that the banks are
confident of the Petrobras project.
“It is important to recognise that Brazil’s deepwater pre-salt fields are robust and viable, even
in the current oil price environment.About 80%
of Brazil’s fields are economically viable at crude
oil prices of US$50 per barrel,” he says.
With a total value of more than US$4 billion,
SapuraKencana has recognised some of the
value from the early deliveries, which is still a
significant amount considering that it is sitting
on an order book of RM23 billion.
TA Research,in a research note,says the group’s
Brazilian operations contributed about RM30
million in pre-tax profit to its first half for the
financial year ending Jan 31, 2016 (1HFY2016).
In 1HFY2016, the group saw net profit fall to
RM364.78 million from RM955.22 million a year
earlier due to impairment provisions on its oil
and gas assets. Revenue was recorded at RM5.06
billion, from RM5.14 billion. The group’s income
statement showed that it registered asset provisions of RM345 million after tax during 1HFY2016.
The research house noted that Sapura Onix is
expected to bump up the group’s fourth quarter.
“Margins for Brazil remain robust (earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation at 49% and profit before tax 20%), and
management declined a request for discounts
from Petrobras recently,” read the note.
The research house sees the group registering a core net profit of RM1.05 billion for its full
FY2016 on the back of RM8.31 billion in revenue.
It has a “buy” call on SapuraKencana with a
lower target price of RM2.29 from RM3.12 previously. “We believe this is more reflective of the
current downcycle,which has weighed down earnings and valuations. In addition, this represents
a 10% premium to the sector’s average trough
valuations during the 2006 oil price downcycle.
We believe the premium is justified by SapuraKencana’s integrated and diversified operations,
large asset bases and global track record,” it says.
Meanwhile, Maybank IB Research revised
SapuraKencana’s FY2016 core earnings forecast
by 10% to account for stronger earnings for the
drilling and international engineering and construction divisions. However, it cut FY2017 and
FY2018 core earnings by 5% each to account for
the lower profit from its drilling operations and
overall utilisation.“The oil price is likely to remain depressed, suppressed largely by the oversupply of oil in the market and muted demand
outlook. SapuraKencana’s oil price outlook is
for US$55 per barrel over the next three years,
a realistic view that we concur with.
“While its share price has plunged 56% over
a 52-week period, the grey visibility will cap
interest in the stock. We do not foresee any
strong catalyst that warrants an immediate
rerating. For this, SapuraKencana remains a
‘hold’ with a lower sum-of-parts target price
of RM2. Our services earnings pegs are based
on a lower multiple of 10 times while we value
its energy operations at net book value of RM1
billion,” says Maybank.
Last Wednesday, SapuraKencana closed 3.52%
lower at RM1.92, for a market capitalisation of
RM11.5 billion.

AEON Malaysia seeks buyer for Cheras mall
R
B Y VASA N T H A G A N E SA N
etailer-cum-property manager AEON Co (M) Bhd is
looking to dispose of AEON
Mahkota Cheras Mall —
one of the smaller malls
within the group — in Bandar Mahkota Cheras, Selangor, for at
least RM80 million.
Documents seen by The Edge reveal that AEON Co (M) (fundamental:
1.05; valuation: 0.50) is exploring
opportunities to sell the shopping
centre, located in Persiaran Mahkota
Cheras, and had last month invited
bids from selected companies.
The retailer has set a reserve price
of RM80 million for the five-year-old
property. This means that AEON Co
(M) may be willing to part with the
asset should it receive a minimum
payment of RM80 million. The successful bidder will also have to bear
a 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on
the price at which the deal is sealed.
The documents also indicate that
AEON Co (M) had set Sept 1 as the
closing date for the submission of
bids. However, sources say the deadline had been subsequently extended
up until last week.
AEON Co (M) executive director
Poh Ying Loo did not respond to calls
or messages from The Edge.
AEON Co (M), 51.68% owned by
Japan’s AEON Co Ltd, made its debut
SAM FONG/THE EDGE
in Malaysia 30 years ago under the
Jaya Jusco brand name.The Japanese
parent also wholly owns and operates a hypermarket business here
under the AEON BiG brand.
Sources say AEON Co (M) is divesting itself of AEON Mahkota Cheras
due to a change in business direction
and to avoid cannibalisation. AEON
Co (M)’s strategy going forward is
to own larger malls that sit on at
least 12 acres of land.AEON Mahkota
Cheras offers 211,405 sq ft in net lettable area (NLA) and the two-storey
building sits on a seven-acre parcel.
There are several other AEON
branded stores in close proximity
to the said shopping centre. AEON
Cheras Selatan Shopping Centre in Lebuh Tun Hussein Onn in
Balakong, for example, is just 4.8km
or a 10-minute drive away. Another
AEON department store-cum-supermarket in the vicinity is AEON
Taman Maluri Mall, which is about
14km away. Moreover, there is an
AEON BiG hypermarket located just
3.8km from AEON Mahkota Cheras.
The two-storey shopping centre with 680 parking bays on the
ground and rooftop levels sits on a
freehold parcel and has a built-up
area of 299,979 sq ft. As at Dec 31 last
year, the net book value of the asset
was RM59.09 million. AEON Co (M)
had purchased the land in 2008 for
RM24.39 million.
A reserve price of RM80 million has been set for AEON Mahkota Cheras
At first glance, an RM80 million
price tag sounds rather cheap for
a completed and fairly new building in Cheras as it is equivalent to
RM378 per sq ft. A valuer contacted
by The Edge says the average price
for malls in the area is RM500 to
RM600 psf.
However, industry observers were
quick to point out that there are several other considerations which can
influence the purchase value. “What
is the yield? Will AEON continue to
be a tenant or will they leave? If they
(AEON) stay as a tenant, for how long
will they remain? What will happen
if the anchor tenant moves out, especially in this market since many
new malls are not even able to get
tenants?” an observer asks.
The sale of the asset is on an “as
is where is” basis. There is also no
indication if AEON Co (M) will enter
into a sale-and-leaseback agreement
with the new owner.
This is not the first time AEON
Co (M) has sold a shopping centre.
In 2005, it disposed of Kinta City
Shopping Centre in Ipoh, Perak, for
RM121 million and entered into a
leaseback agreement with the buyer. More recently, in 2013, the group
sold an 18.18% stake in AEON Taman
Universiti Shopping Centre in Johor
for RM20 million to AEON REIT Investment Corp.
Today, there are 30 AEON stores,
of which 23 are owned and operated
by AEON Co (M) while the remaining
are leased. In addition, the group also
operates four MaxValu supermarkets.
Like many retailers in Malaysia,
AEON Co (M) saw its sales slip 5.44%
year on year to RM811.1 million
in the second quarter ended June
30 (2QFY2015), due to a slump in
consumer sentiment and the implementation of the GST on April
1 this year. Retail Group Malaysia,
which compiles retail data for Malaysia Retailers Association (MRA),
reported that retail sales of the department store-cum-supermarket
category contracted by as much as
12% in April-June 2015. MRA members in this retail sub-sector are
projecting another quarter of contraction in the July-September period of -3.6%.
AEON Co (M) also saw its profit
dip to RM15.66 million in 2QFY2015
from RM46.94 million a year earlier
due to lower sales, higher operating costs and higher interest. The
previous corresponding quarter
had included a gain from the part
disposal of AEON Taman Universiti.
In 1HFY2015, AEON Co (M) saw its
net profit dive 31% y-o-y to RM65.06
million due to higher operating
expenditure as a result of costs associated with new store openings.
Revenue in the first half, however,
improved by 6.37% y-o-y to RM1.92
billion, thanks mainly to contribution from its new stores.
In the first six months of this
year, revenue from the retail segment grew 6.2% to RM1.65 billion
while property management services increased 7.7% to RM270.2 million.
AEON Co (M) said in May that it
had been accelerating its expansion
to gain a bigger market share. It added that RM700 million had been set
aside as capital expenditure for the
development of its upcoming mall
in Shah Alam, which is scheduled
to open in the fourth quarter of this
year, and a store in Kota Bharu that
is slated for opening in the first or
second quarter of next year.
Future stores can also be expected in Johor and Negeri Sembilan. In
July last year, the company bought
a 20-acre parcel in Batu Pahat, Johor. Then, in December 2014, it purchased 20.88 acres in Senawang,
Seremban, for RM53.66 million to
build a shopping centre.
In 2018, AEON Co (M) will open
its largest mall, AEON Nilai Shopping Mall, with 1.2 million sq ft of
E
shopping space.

New strategy needed for Firefly
M
BY KAMARUL AZHAR
alaysia Airlines Bhd (MAB) has to
come up with a new strategy for
its subsidiary FlyFirefly Sdn Bhd
as the regional airline reaches its
target of having a fleet of 20 aircraft and serving almost all the
major destinations in Peninsular Malaysia.
Firefly operates 19 turboprop aircraft now.
It will reach its target of 20 next year, four
SUHAIMI YUSUF/THE EDGE
years earlier than its initial projection of 2020
as the airline saw rapid growth over the last
eight years. It carried 2.2 million passengers
last year, up from 390,000 in 2007 — the year
it commenced operations.
“We took delivery of three aircraft this year
and will get another next year. Next year, we
have to sit down with the top management of
MAB to see what more can be done,” Firefly
CEO Ignatius Ong tells The Edge in an exclusive interview.
However, Firefly may find itself having
limited room to grow in the future. This is because it operates turboprop aircraft,which have
a shorter range and slower speed compared with
jet planes. Regional airlines normally use turboprops in high-density, point-to-point routes.
Ong says most of the major destinations
in Peninsular Malaysia are being served by
Firefly. The only way the airline can grow is
by increasing frequency to the destinations
it is serving.
Ong: Next year, we have to sit down with the top
management of MAB to see what more can be done
“The destinations are, in a way, a little bit
limited because within the peninsula, that’s
pretty much it. But we can grow through frequencies. For example, when I came in four
years ago, there were only about six flights a
day between Subang and Penang. Today, we
have 16 flights between Subang and Penang,”
says Ong.
Firefly’s unique proposition is that it operates out of Subang SkyPark, which is closer
to major businesses and population centres
in the Klang Valley compared with Kuala
Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and
klia2 in Sepang.
A turboprop aircraft uses turbine engines
to drive its propellers. Turboprops are most
suitable for short-haul flights, focusing on
efficient connectivity rather than comfort
and speed. The Ministry of Transport only
allows turboprop aircraft to fly in and out of
Subang SkyPark.
According to aviation experts, turboprops
are most suited for flights that take 1½ hours
or less as beyond that, the passengers’ comfort would be compromised. Since turboprops
have slower speed, the distance they can fly
within 1½ hours is also shorter compared
with that of a jet aircraft.
Besides cities in the peninsula, Firefly also
flies to Singapore as well as Batam, Medan
and Pekanbaru in Indonesia, and Koh Samui, Krabi and Phuket in Thailand. Apart from
Subang SkyPark, Firefly’s other hubs include
Penang International Airport, Sultan Ismail
Petra Airport in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, and
Senai International Airport in Johor.
No immediate plans to introduce
jet operations
Given turboprops’ limited range, there is a
compelling reason for Firefly to introduce
jet operations, says aviation analyst Syukor
Yusof. Being a feeder airline to Malaysia Airlines, Firefly could operate jet planes with
smaller passenger capacities than those of
the main line, he says.
“It doesn’t have to be the big type of jet
aircraft. It can use small, narrow body jet
aircraft that can fly further compared with
turboprops, but with a relatively small passenger capacity,” Syukor says when contacted by The Edge.
Malaysia Airlines operates narrow-body
aircraft for domestic and short-haul regional

Avoiding overlapping of routes
F R O M PAG E 3 2
routes. It has 59 Boeing 737-800s, with another
12 on order and 10 options to buy. The 737-800
seats 162 passengers in a two-class configuration and 189 in a single class.
The 737-800 has a fully loaded range of
5,665km. Malaysia Airlines uses this type of
aircraft to fly to regional destinations such as
Jakarta, Bangkok, Kota Kinabalu and Dhaka.
Jakarta is 1,141km from Kuala Lumpur, while
Dhaka is 2,634.5km.
However, the 737-800 may still be too big
for Firefly to operate. The Bombardier CRJ700
seats about 70 passengers in a single-class
configuration and has a maximum range of
2,256km. The Embraer ERJ 145 seats 50 passengers in a single-class configuration, with
a standard range of 3,704km.
“Of course, going to Bangkok and Jakarta
are always on my mind, so I’m talking with
the aircraft manufacturers and asking them
to come up with a new-generation engine,
which is more fuel-efficient and that has a
longer range.
“Let’s say if they come up with an aircraft
that can serve Subang to Bangkok or Kota
Kinabalu, we will have that aircraft in our
fleet. But the condition is, it has to be at a
lower cost per seat,” says Ong.
He reveals that the group’s business plan
is to avoid an overlapping of routes by Firefly
and Malaysia Airlines. While other airlines
in the region do operate regional or low-cost
subsidiaries to complement the main line,
there tends to be cannibalisation within the
same group, he says.
Singapore Airlines Ltd owns SilkAir, a regional subsidiary, and Scoot, a long-haul,
low-cost carrier. It also holds stakes in Tiger
Intriguing new shareholder in Lay Hong
Airways Holdings Ltd and an Indian startup, Vistara. Garuda Indonesia owns Citilink,
while Thai Airways International pcl owns
Thai Smile.
Firefly used to fly to Kuching and Kota
Kinabalu using jet aircraft. However, these
routes were axed in August 2011. The reason
given back then was that the routes were not
commercially viable as it faced competition
from its parent as well as AirAsia Bhd.
There is also no immediate plans to operate out of Kuching International Airport and
Kota Kinabalu International Airport, says Ong.
This is because MASwings, another regional
airline owned by MAB, is serving routes within
Sabah and Sarawak, as well as Pontianak and
Tarakan in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
“You’ve got to give MAB some time to restructure the network, which it is doing. If
you make it too robust of a growth, you might
cannibalise each other,” Ong comments when
asked about the possibility of Firefly flying to
Sabah and Sarawak as well as other regional
destinations.
For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2013
(FY2013), Firefly registered a loss after tax of
RM9.08 million, compared with a profit after
tax of RM40.7 million in the previous financial year, according to the company’s filing
with Companies Commission of Malaysia
(CCM). Its revenue increased 3% year on year
to RM365.2 million in FY2013.
FY2014 numbers were not available at
CCM’s website.
With MAB restructuring its network and
capacity, serious thought will have to be given
to the strategy involving Malaysia Airlines,
Firefly and MASwings in order for the group
to be sustainable going forward.

appears that the selling counterparty was
Tee Tze Chern, whose disposal of some 24.1
million shares in Takaso by his vehicle Nextplus Fortune Sdn Bhd was on the same day
Yap acquired his shares.
Although Chin was the managing director of Takaso until he resigned in February
this year, he has no direct links to Nextplus,
which is 90% controlled by Tee.
Tee, however, was the executive chairman of Takaso while Chin was the managing director.
Interestingly, the registered business
address for Nextplus happens to be in the
same building as Ingenuity Consolidated
Bhd — Persof Tower, in Tropicana Golf &
Country Resort.
At the same time, Takaso would be involved in recurring related party transactions (by virtue of Chin’s interest) with both
Ingenuity and 1 Utopia worth over RM4.7
million in FY2014.
In a nutshell, Yap has bought into companies where Chin used to be deeply involved,
but now appears to be pulling out. However,
any direct sale of shares from Chin to Yap
for these companies is not apparent.
The coincidences between Lay Hong and
Chin do not end there. Kombinasi Emas Sdn
Bhd and Sincere Goodyear Sdn Bhd have
also emerged as shareholders in Lay Hong,
albeit with relatively small stakes.
According to Lay Hong’s annual report,
Sincere Goldyear has a 2.99% stake in the
company while Kombinasi Emas has 0.43%.
Both companies are controlled by Wie
Hock Beng and have substantial stakes in
Chin’s other companies.
In Pesona Metro (fundamental: 2.10: valuation: 1.10), Kombinasi Emas and Sincere
Goldyear hold 47.02% and 18.4% respectively.
In Takaso, they hold 6.02% and 6.3% respectively, although their holdings in Takaso
used to be higher — around 10% each.
Wie’s companies had bought into Takaso around the time that Chin was paring
down his stake.
Perhaps, Chin’s tangled web of shareholdings can be written off as mere coincidence, but investors can’t help but wonder
if his emergence will be a catalyst for Lay
Hong’s share price.
He might have only 7.4%, but if past experience is anything to go by, his emergence
in a company as a substantial shareholder
is often followed by spikes in share price
and trading volume.
That said, it looks unlikely that he will
take control over Lay Hong which is tightly held by the Yap family, which has 42.79%
of the company. Furthermore, at 11.7 times
earnings, Lay Hong is the most expensive
egg-layer at the moment.
Putting aside QL Resources which has a
much more diversified business model, Teo
Seng Capital Bhd, LTKM Bhd and Huat Lai
Resources Bhd are trading at price-earnings ratios of 7.96 times, 4.8 times and 4.62
times respectively.
Perhaps one catalyst for Lay Hong is the
fact that its public shareholding spread
has been restored to around 25% to meet
Bursa’s requirements. Before QL Resources sold out, it was around 16%, prompting
Lay Hong so pursue a private placement
— which may now be cancelled — to address the spread.

Rowsley repositions Iskandar project,
ventures into new investments in UK
PICTURES BY BRYAN TAY
B Y G O O L A WA R D E N
AT T H E E D G E S I N G A P O R E
O
nly two years ago,public-listed shell
Rowsley looked to be on the verge of
morphing into a play on the red-hot
real estate market of Iskandar Malaysia. Now, Rowsley is turning to
the UK for faster returns, and repositioning its flagship development in Iskandar.
The Iskandar development sits on a freehold
site spanning 9.23ha, in what was supposedly
among the most desirable parts of the growth
corridor,close to the causeway to Singapore.Held
under a unit called Vantage Bay Sdn Bhd, Rowsley acquired the site for S$358 million (RM923.64
million) in 2013. The purchase was satisfied by
the issue of 2.38 billion shares (or 15 cents each)
to Peter Lim, who held 70% of Vantage Bay, and
the Sultan of Johor, who owned 30%. The plan
was to build a major shopping, entertainment
and residential complex with a total gross floor
area (GFA) of 10 million sq ft.
However, unfettered development in Iskandar, not least by Chinese developers such as
Country Garden, Guangzhou R&F Properties
and Greenland Group,has raised concerns about
a looming oversupply. It also looks to be only a
matter of time before global interest rates will
rise. In addition, Malaysia appears to be in the
throes of a political crisis, and suffering from a
rout in commodity prices. The ringgit, which
was trading at RM2.58 to the Singapore dollar
when Rowsley acquired Vantage Bay, has now
slumped to RM3.
On Sept 22, Rowsley announced new plans
for the Iskandar site, on which nothing has yet
been built. Now, it plans to develop a complex
called Vantage Bay Healthcare City, with only
5.38 million sq ft of space.The development will
comprise a specialist hospital, a community
hospital, long-term care facilities, a teaching
hospital, a medical school, research and training institutions, a purpose-built urban wellness
resort,wellness retail services and other associated facilities, according to Rowsley.
Lock Wai Han, CEO of Rowsley, says this new
healthcare hub will be complemented by a hospital called Thomson Iskandar, which is being
developed on an adjacent site by a company that
is privately held by Lim. In fact, this is likely to
be the first segment of the healthcare hub to get
developed, according to Lock. “It will take three
years to be completed.”
In the meantime, Rowsley will be rounding
up partners and looking at designs for the other segments of the development.The specialist
hospital and the medical school, in particular,
are unlikely to move ahead until suitable partners are secured,according to Lock.On the other
hand,the community hospital and long-term care
facilities can “move earlier”, he says, while the
wellness resort is “a fairly independent piece”
of the whole development.
The new plan changes the economics of the
Vantage Bay site. Under the original plan, Rowsley would have developed some 10 million sq
ft of space, translating into a cost of RM92.3 psf.
A chunk of this would have been quickly sold as
residential property to generate cash flow. Now,

the reduced GFA is likely to cost RM172 psf, and
the return would be earned over a longer period of time. “This is a longer-term yield play,”
acknowledges Lock, who expects total gross
development value to be around RM5 billion.

people who are aligned to such returns.” Earlier

Lock confident that Iskandar will eventually work out
with the kind of location and demand in Manchester,” he says. He sees buying interest from
mainland Chinese and other Asians who have
children studying in Manchester.
On the commercial front, Lock says supply is
short,and businesses are moving into Manchester from London. The Manchester city council
has just approved broad planning principles for
St Michael, and Rowsley is looking to close off
on all approvals by early next year so that sales
and construction can start in 2H2016.

we recognise we have to do something different,” says Ho Kiam Kheong, executive director of Rowsley. Sales of residential property in
Iskandar are simply moving too slowly now, he
adds. “There are still transactions, but they tend
to be very slow.”
What will Rowsley do to generate cash flow
while it builds up the Vantage Bay Healthcare
City? Fortunately, when the company acquired
the land, it also purchased RSP Architects. The
firm was acquired for S$223 million, and paid for
through the issue of Rowsley shares at 15 cents
each.According to an announcement dated Aug
20, 2013, RSP had agreed to provide the group
with about S$25 million in net profit a year, for
FY2013 to FY2015.
Iskandar not so bad
Going to Manchester
Ho says sales of residential property in Iskandar
Malaysia are moving too slowly
Rowsley has also begun investing elsewhere.
On Aug 27, the company said it would pay a total
of £29.1 million (RM196 million) for a 75% stake
in three companies that own Hotel Football,
a 133-room boutique hotel located across the
Old Trafford stadium; Café Football, a 120-seat
restaurant in east London; and GG Collections,
a hotel management company that manages
Hotel Football and Café Football.
“Hotel Football is already operational.So,that
[cash flow] will come in,” Lock says, adding that
the property yield is likely to be in the mid-tohigh single digits. The hotel and café are partly
owned by Lim, who also holds a 49.55% stake
in Rowsley.That makes the deal a related party
transaction, so it will have to be approved by
minority investors at an extraordinary general meeting.
In a related announcement also on Aug 27,
Rowsley said it would pay £40 million for a 75%
stake in St Michael Investments,an integrated de-
velopment in Manchester city centre,comprising
a hotel,residential units,offices and retail space.
Beijing Construction Engineering Group will own
21%,and footballers Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs
will hold 2% each. “We expect to launch the residential component of St Michael in the second
half of next year, and we could sell the offices en
bloc,” Lock says. “The development component
[of St Michael’s] needs to move, and move rather
quickly.” For the recurring income part,he thinks
that the internal rate of return (IRR) is likely
to be pretty decent. “If the IRR was not strong,
we would not have looked at this.” The gross
development value of St Michael is likely to be
£200 million, and Rowsley will look at project
financing or debt to part-fund the construction.
Lock, who was previously head of a unit of
CapitaLand that developed malls in China, believes the Manchester project will do well.“We’re
quite confident about the residential apartments,
Moreover, people wrongly believed that all
the units in the pipeline would be immediately developed. In late 2013, Country Garden
spooked the market by announcing the Forest City development with 9,500 units. “The
kind of numbers we are talking about in Forest
City is going to take a long time,but people don’t
realise that. They think those units will come
onstream in the next three years,” Lock says.
“My guess is that it will take 20 years or more to
fully develop this. I don’t think any sane developer would build everything at once.”
Lock remains confident that Iskandar will
eventually work out. “If you look at the investments that are coming onstream in Iskandar, in terms of [foreign direct investment] in
the port, oil and gas, media, education, theme
parks,those are on track and ahead of schedule,”
he says.Those investments will eventually create jobs and fuel population growth, and drive
demand for property.
If he is right, the outlook for Rowsley might
also not be all that bad. Lock says the company
will eventually have four business segments.
The first is the real estate consultancy business under RSP Architects, which is already
operational. The second, real estate development, is likely to start next year in Manchester. The third is Vantage Bay Healthcare City,
and the fourth consists of Rowsley’s legacy
investments, which include a small stake in FJ
Benjamin.
For the six months to June 30, Rowsley reported a 54% y-o-y plunge in earnings to S$3.6
million, on the back of a 22% decline in revenue
to S$34.1 million.Its stock is trading at 1.28 times
its net asset value of 11.55 cents a share.
Back in Iskandar, Lock says things are not really as bad as some people think. The location
of the growth corridor gives it the potential
to be to Singapore what New Jersey is to New
York, or what Shenzhen is to Hong Kong. Notably, Singapore could move its manufacturing
and storage facilities there to reduce costs, and
create space on the island to scale up highervalue services.
As it happened, lax regulations led to overinvestment in Iskandar. Country Garden, Guangzhou R&F Properties and Greenland Group alone
have projects that could collectively add about
13,000 residential units to the market. Already,
some Malaysian developers are scaling back their
projects for fear of being stuck with unsold units.
Case in point: Rowsley’s Vantage Bay project.
“On the residential side,people often ask whether there is an oversupply and has that been a
consideration of doing this,” Lock says. To be
sure,Rowsley is trying to avoid being stuck with
unsold residential units. But Lock says Vantage
Bay was never going to be anything like what
the Chinese developers are building. “People
do not fully understand what’s in the pipeline,”
he grumbles. “Ours was going to be a different Goola Warden is assosiate editor at The
product.We were going for slightly higher end.” Edge Singapore

olkswagen AG’s admission that
it rigged diesel engines to fool
regulators is set to accelerate the
technology’s decline in Europe,
hitting not just the German carmaker
but also competitors PSA Peugeot Citroen and Renault SA.
The French manufacturers rely on
diesel-powered vehicles for at least 60%
of their European sales. With the fuel
systems already under attack in the region because of pollution concerns,VW’s
so-called dieselgate scandal could cause
the technology’s market share to drop
to as little as 35% of cars sold in Europe
in 2022 from 53% in 2014, according to
industry consultant LMC Automotive.
“Europe will go down particularly in
the segment for smaller cars,” said Sascha
Gommel, a Frankfurt-based analyst at
Commerzbank AG. With compacts like
the Peugeot 208, Renault Clio and VW
Polo, “you can’t charge your customer
for the additional content that needs
to go in the car in order to comply with
regulation”.
A backlash against diesel by consumers and more stringent scrutiny from
regulators would make it even tougher
for carmakers in Europe to meet tightening rules on fuel consumption and
carbon-dioxide emissions. That might
mean an accelerated shift to hybrids,
which are costly to produce.
Still, the backing for diesel remains,
not least because of lower operating
costs for drivers. Almost all European
Union countries tax the fuel less than
gasoline, and it offers about 30% better
mileage.And Germany’s manufacturers
aren’t giving up either.
“We still care about diesel,” Rupert
Stadler,chief of Volkswagen’s Audi brand,
said at a conference last Thursday in
Frankfurt. “The customer has decided
that diesel offers the most attractive
cost of ownership. So diesel should not
be demonized.”
Diesel-powered models accounted
for 53% of new car registrations in EU
nations in 2014, down from 55% in 2011,
according to the European Automobile
Manufacturers’ Association, or ACEA.
That compares with about 1% in the US.
Unlike German luxury-auto producers Audi, Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz
and BMW AG, Renault and Peugeot
offer mass-market diesel hatchbacks
and compact cars, on which margins
are lower.
Since the VW scandal broke, Peugeot’s shares have plunged 13% and
Renault has dropped 9.5%, wiping
out a combined €3.7 billion (RM17.9
billion) in market capitalisation. The
two French manufacturers, along with
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and
General Motors Co’s Opel, are most
likely to be hurt by any European contraction in demand for diesel cars,
Gommel of Commerzbank estimates.

A view of Mumbai ... India has become a favourite among investing
communities in recent times as it benefits from low commodity prices,
while its commitment to reforms makes it attractive, says Blanque
Boon for stocks in endogenous
growth economies
A
BY ESTHER LEE
mundi Asset Management global
chief investment officer (CIO) Pascal Blanque does not buy the idea
that global growth is falling off the
cliff. On the contrary, he opines that
there is good news now despite the
gloom and doom in the global economy that has
been grabbing the headlines in recent months.
France-based Amundi Asset Management
manages funds amounting to US$1 trillion
(RM4.39 trillion) globally.
“At the global level, there are supporting
factors. [Firstly] the US Federal Reserve (Feds)
will not embark on a savage monetary normalisation. Secondly, we will get the support
of ample liquidity coming from Europe and
Japan, thanks to quantitative easing measures.
This means that we will continue to live with
a huge pool of excess liquidity, remunerated at
close to zero specifically in the West.”
“Searching for yield is a lasting feature and
a natural destination of this pool of liquidity
is to the emerging economies. This is good
news,” Blanque says during a recent interview
with The Edge.
He is not worried about global growth and
opines that the slowdown in China is signalling
the world that there is a real reassessment of
fundamentals across the emerging economies.
He adds that the fall in commodity prices
is also positive news for some economies as it
has caused purchasing power redistribution
across the globe. India, for one, has become
a favourite among investing communities in
recent times as it benefits from low commodity prices, while its commitment to reforms
makes it attractive.
As for Europe, Amundi Asset Management
has remained positive on its assets over the
last two years ad there is still economic growth
there, albeit at low levels, and sound corporates.
It also takes the view that the region will benefit from aggressive monetary policy by the
European Central Bank.
Blanque adds that investors have adjusted to expectations of low growth rates in the
West, but not yet in the emerging economies.
“We know what’s the new normal in the
West: low growth, low interest rates, and so

on. But in the emerging space, we are in the
process of a global remapping of emerging
economies. This started two years ago, where
investors are basically reassessing country by
country, looking at the fundamental picture
and asking themselves questions like: ‘What
is the growth potential of this country?’, ‘Are
they running current account deficits?’, ‘How
is it financed?’ ‘Is the currency undervalued
or overvalued?’”
While Amundi Asset Management is taking
a more cautious stance on emerging markets
now, it is nevertheless still on the lookout for
entry points on a discriminatory basis, stressing that the focus is on endogenous growth.
Blanque, who was awarded the European
CIO of the Year 2013 by Funds Europe Magazine, says one of the themes moving into next
year is that funds will consider re-entering
the emerging space as growth there remains
stronger compared with the West, but stresses that fund inflows to emerging markets will
be on a discriminatory basis. Investors have
to understand that the growth rate seen over
the last 10 years will not be repeated, he adds.
Sectors like technology, consumption and
infrastructure in Asia will likely benefit from
investors’ move to re-focus on endogenous and
structural components of growth theme as they
seek to re-enter emerging markets, he says.
“Structural reforms in many Asian countries
translates into investment and into infrastruc-

ture. There is room to deliver on that. This is
a common feature for many Asian countries
and this has nothing to do with the foreign exchange or what happens to demand in the West,
that’s what I mean by endogenous growth.”
“If I’m buying a growth potential in Asia, I’m
buying the emergence of endogenous growth,
domestic demand engines, technology sector,
rising consumption and infrastructure. As a
long-term investor, this is what I am ready
to buy into the next five to 10 years to come,”
he explains.
However, Blanque says volatility will still
persist for some time, simply because global
markets are coming from an abnormally low
volatility environment. He adds that volatility will continue as long as there is a process
of price discovery and while the adjustments
are not completed.
“In some emerging economies, I don’t think
the adjustment of the currencies has been completed. I think that there is further deprecia-
tion of currency and I will ask for higher risk
premium in order to be protected from the risk
of further depreciation,” he says.
Nevertheless, the veteran fund manager
adds that there are pockets of opportunities to
invest after the recent crash in stock prices and
bonds. As Blanque does not buy the idea that
global growth is falling off a cliff, he remains
confident about the prospects of European assets and even that of some emerging countries.
He believes prices will stabilise eventually
and investors will realise that the world is not
in the 1994 or 1997 financial crises.
“Since we have a big pool of money searching
for yield,we will see at some point inflows back
in some areas but with a distinguishing feature
this time. The winners will take it all. This is
a difference regarding emerging economies.”
“It used to be that by just being an emerging
economy, it was enough to be a winner because
emerging economies were part of the index,
but not anymore. There will be an increasing
gap between the winners and the rest. It’s already the case to a certain extent. Look at the
spread between the enthusiasm of the markets
for India and the rest of the emerging markets.
E
It’s a new element,” explains Blanque.

the returns of the property portfolio,” states Inter-Pacific Research in a Sept 15 report.
Based on the initial public offering (IPO) price
of RM1 per unit,Al-Salam REIT’s market capitalisation will be RM580 million.TA Securities valued
the REIT at RM1.12 per unit, while Inter-Pacific
Research assigned a fair value of RM1.14 per unit.
Al-Salam REIT’s IPO consists of institutional
and retail offerings, totalling up to 252.4 million
new units. The sponsor, JCorp, will own a 56.5%
stake in Al-Salam REIT post-IPO. Institutional
investors are allotted 240.8 million units,or 41.5%,
with the rest for retail investors.
RHB Investment Bank Bhd is the principal
adviser, sole global coordinator and sole underwriter of the listing. The investment bank
of RHB Capital Bhd and Maybank Investment
Bank Bhd are joint placement agents.
On Sept 22, Malaysian Issuing House Sdn
Bhd announced that the public portion of the
IPO of 18.34 million units was oversubscribed
by 2.96 times, receiving 2,442 applications for
45.92 million units.
With a market capitalisation of RM580 million,Al-Salam REIT is comparable in value to UOA
REIT (RM659.68 million), Hektar REIT (RM600.95
million),AmFIRST REIT (RM542.26 million) and
AmanahRaya REIT (RM481.5 million).
Al-Salam REIT was spun off from JCorp’s real
estate investment trust, with assets including a
community hypermarket, shopping mall, office
building and quick service restaurants (QSR).
Over the next two years, a slew of property acquisitions have been laid out for Al-Salam REIT.
The REIT manager plans to utilise more than
95% of the RM252.36 million proceeds from the
IPO for property acquisitions, including Menara
JCorp and Menara 238 in Kuala Lumpur, Menara
VSQ in Petaling Jaya, and Galleria @ Kotaraya
in Johor Baru.
The acquisitions in the Klang Valley and Johor
Baru, coupled with its existing assets across the
country — including Menara Komtar,Komtar JBCC,
KFCH International College,@Mart Hypermarket
and QSR chains — will double Al-Salam REIT’s
asset base to RM2 billion over the next two years.
According to TA Securities analyst Thiam
Chiann Wen, Komtar JBCC, located opposite
the Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration
and Quarantine checkpoint and the JB Sentral
train station, is well positioned to benefit from
higher tourist traffic from Singapore.
Al-Salam REIT will also benefit from the
growth of the QSR business in the country, as it

will own 22 outlets and five industrial premises.
Incomes from these properties are going to be
driven by the shift in the dining trend among
Malaysians towards eating out more often.
“Urbanisation has resulted in a shift in lifestyle and dining patterns, as Malaysians show a
preference for dining out during lunch breaks and
after long working hours,as opposed to preparing
meals at home,” Thiam says in a Sept 10 report.
According to independent market research,
the consumer foodservice market in Malaysia
has grown rapidly with sales transactions rising
from RM18.2 billion in 2004 to RM33.3 billion in
2013, representing a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 6.9%, she says.
She adds that sales transactions for consumer foodservice are expected to grow from RM33.3
billion in 2013 to RM38.9 billion in 2016 at a CAGR
of 5.3%, based on independent market research.
Al-Salam REIT’s growth will be fuelled by
not only asset acquisitions but also potential
rental upside for Komtar JBCC.The mall, which
opened its doors in July last year, has an average
rental rate of RM5.63 per sq ft, a huge discount
to the average RM27 psf rental rate of prime
properties in Johor Baru.
“Further rental upside could come from
higher gross turnover rent if strong arrivals to
Komtar JBCC materialise. We understand that
most of Komtar JBCC’s tenants are subject to a
revenue sharing scheme based on the percentage of net or gross sales turnover ranging from
2% to 15%,” says Thiam.
Inter-Pacific Research states that the occupancy rates of Al-Salam REIT’s properties are
also good. The occupancy rate of Komtar JBCC
currently stands at 89%, and the management
is optimistic that it will reach 91% next year.
Al-Salam REIT will be the second REIT listed
by JCorp after Al-’Aqar Healthcare REIT.The REITs
share the same manager — Damansara REIT Managers — which is a subsidiary of Damansara Assets
Sdn Bhd, which in turn is a subsidiary of JCorp.
“Led by the same REIT manager with rich
experience in property management, we expect Al-Salam to replicate Al-’Aqar Healthcare
REIT’s success in capitalising on opportunities
for future income and NAV (net asset value)
growth,” says Thiam.

Total Return: The Lipper Leader Fund ratings for Total Return reflect funds’ historical
total return performance relative to peers.
Consistent Return: The Lipper Leader Fund ratings for Consistent Return reflect
funds’ historical risk-adjusted returns, adjusted for volatility, relative to peers.
Preservation: The Lipper Leader Fund ratings for Preservation reflect funds’ historical loss avoidance relative other funds within the same asset class. Preservation
ratings are relative, rather than absolute, measures, and funds named Lipper Leaders for Preservation may still experience losses periodically; those losses may be
larger for equity and mixed equity funds than for fixed income funds.
Expense: The Lipper Leader Fund ratings for Expense reflect funds’ expense
HOW TO READ THE TABLE
1. Lipper Leader Fund Ratings
The Lipper Leader Fund ratings are subject to change every month and are based on
an equal-weighted average of percentile ranks for Consistent Return, Preservation,
Total Return and Expense metrics over three-year periods. The highest 20% of
funds in each peer group are named Lipper Leaders, receive a score of 5, the next
20% receive a score of 4, the middle 20% are scored 3, the next 20% are scored 2,
and the lowest 20% are scored 1. Lipper Leader Fund ratings are not intended to
predict future results, and Lipper does not guarantee the accuracy of this information. More information is available at www.lipperweb.com.

insider moves
How does one separate rumour from fact? In some stock markets, one important information source is substantial shareholder and director filings. When insiders move,
there are reasons; most times it is regular business conduct, but at other times disposal or accumulation of shareholdings is a precursor to major moves.

Notable filings
Over the week of Sept 14 to 18, some
of the more notable trades on Bursa
Malaysia were done by Permodalan
Nasional Bhd (PNB) and its fund,
Skim Amanah Saham Bumiputera
(ASB).
On Sept 14, a filing shows, the
fund sold 51.4 million shares, or
about 0.5%, in Malayan Banking
Bhd. A check on Bloomberg reveals
that the shares were sold at RM8.51
each or RM437.8 million in total.
After the sale, ASB has a stake of
about 37% in Maybank (fundamental:
1.40; valuation: 2.25) while PNB has
an additional 5.5% equity interest.
While only 0.5% of Maybank
was sold, it is worth noting that its
share price has been inching up from
the 52-week low of RM8.18 seen in
mid-August and ended trading last
Wednesday at RM8.41.
ASB also sold 10 million shares
in state-controlled utility company
Tenaga Nasional Bhd (fundamental: 1.30; valuation: 1.80), reducing
its shareholding to 505.8 million
shares or equity interest of just a
tad below 9%.
The fund also sold 6.5 million
shares in telco company Maxis Bhd
(fundamental: 1.15; valuation: 1.10),
reducing its stake to just under 8%.
Interestingly, PNB announced

ALLIANCEDBS RESEARCH (SEPT 23): Westports announced
that the Port Klang Authority has delayed the implementation of the Phase 1 revised container tariff for a second time
to Nov 1, 2015. The revised tariff was originally slated to be
effective from Sept 1, but this was postponed to Oct 1 prior
to this announcement. No reason was given for the delays in
implementing the revised tariff.
We are not overly concerned with the delay as the impact on our earnings forecasts is limited. In our forecasts,
we assume Westports will immediately raise charges for
only the gateway containers in FY15F, and raise charges for
the transhipment containers by 5% per annum from FY16F
onwards. As such, the impact from delays in implementing
the revised tariffs by only two months is small, leading us to
shave our FY15F earnings by 2%, while leaving FY16F to FY17F
earnings unchanged.
We still like the stock as a proxy to the Asean growth story, but retain our “hold” rating due to limited upside to our
target price.
DBS VICKERS SECURITIES (SEPT 23): We maintain “buy”
for Suria Capital with a target price of RM2.45. Following the
recent selldown, value is emerging with 14% upside to our
target price. We like Suria for its strong cash flow generation
from port operations and sizeable proceeds from upcoming
property launches with its JV partners.
Suria operates eight ports in Sabah,which contributed more
than 80% of FY14 revenue, as well as logistics and bunkering
services, contract engineering, and property development and
ferry terminal, offering good exposure to the Sabah economy.
In 2013, the group entered into a JV with SBC Corp to develop 16.25 acres around the Kota Kinabalu Port with a minimum net saleable value (NSV) of RM1.8 billion. Suria will
receive a minimum guaranteed cash return of RM324 million
or 18% of total GDV (whichever is higher). It is also jointly
developing with Gabungan AQRS the remaining seven-acre
land with an estimated minimum NSV of RM1.1 billion. Suria
will be entitled to RM198 million or 18% of the project’s NSV
(whichever is higher).
HONG LEONG INVESTMENT BANK (SEPT 23): For its 9MFY15,
Adventa posted a 38% increase in sales year on year (y-o-y).However, its PBT declined 17% y-o-y mainly on the back of higher
costs incurred in purchases and maintenance (from the sterilisation provider segment) coupled with higher import cost.
Its healthcare products segment registered revenue of
RM6.3 million,which was 27% lower quarter on quarter (q-o-q)
and 11% y-o-y.The lower turnover was attributed to the lower
uptake from hospitals and pre-purchasing before the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (reflected in a strong
2Q). Its earnings before interest and tax was also affected by
the higher import costs resulting from the depreciation of
the ringgit, charting a decline of 84% y-o-y and 77% q-o-q. PBT
was reduced by 78% y-o-y.
Its sterilisation provider segment performed relatively
well, achieving sales of RM3.2 million, 20% higher q-o-q and
5% y-o-y. Despite greater revenue, the maintenance of equipment impaired its profitability in the quarter, with PBT dropping 33% y-o-y.

KENANGA RESEARCH (SEPT 23): EcoWorld held a briefing
on its proposed acquisition of 2,198.4 acres of leasehold land
in Mukim Ijok, Kuala Selangor, for RM1.18 billion. The project’s gross development value is RM15 billion (township and
business park).The rationale for this acquisition is to increase
its exposure to the more resilient market in the Klang Valley
and target population catchment areas in North-East Klang
Valley, and such sizeable Klang Valley landbanks are a rare
opportunity. The group is seeking partnerships for funding
as part of its efforts to grow its landbank without overtaxing
its balance sheet.
We are longer-term positive on the acquisition, as long as
EcoWorld is able to secure the right partners and does not assume more than an associate stake in the project for balance
sheet management reasons. Until we have some concrete
news on the project partners, we have opted to exclude this
project from our valuations and estimates.

HONG LEONG INVESTMENT BANK (SEPT 23): MISC’s management has established a five-year strategic growth plan until
2020, focusing on three core business segments: (i) petroleum
shipping; (ii) offshore — floating,production storage and offloading (FPSO)/ floating,storage and offloading (FSO) vessels; and (iii)
liquefied natural gas (LNG). Management expects organic and
inorganic growth from 2015 to 2017 (mainly petroleum and FPSO)
and organic growth for 2018 to 2020 (mainly FPSO and LNG).
The charter rate for petroleum shipping should be resilient.
Management is looking at possible fleet expansion (second-hand
market or new build) given the expected favourable charter rates
(for 2016 to 2017) with current low asset prices.
On FPSO, limited default and impairment risk, given the existing contracts are protected by long-term agreements. Management anticipates brownfield acquisitions in 2016 to 2018 at
bargain prices.Despite the slump in the LNG charter rate,MISC’s
earnings are relatively secure through its long-term contracts.
Expect earnings growth by 2018 with the deliveries of five new
LNG ships (chartered to Petroliam Nasional Bhd).

PUBLICINVEST RESEARCH (SEPT 22): We came away with
some positive takeaways from our recent meeting with IOI
Corp’s management. Despite the current weak crude palm oil
prices, the company was least affected thanks to its exposure
to the downstream segment. However, given the current unattractive valuations, we continue to maintain our “neutral”
call with an unchanged target price of RM4.07.
Management projects 5% to 7% fresh fruit bunch production growth for FY16.The group’s age profile is about 13 years.
It still has about 8,000ha of unplanted landbank in Indonesia,
which will be completed by next year. The company has new
palm oil seedlings, which could potentially bump up its oil
extraction rate from 22% to 27%. Currently, about 20,000ha
has been planted with the new seedlings.
Management guided for about RM350 million capex for
FY16, which will mainly be used for infrastructure and new
planting. The construction of a 100,000-tonne speciality oils
and fats plant in Xiamen, China, has commenced and will be
ready by June 2016.

TA SECURITIES (SEPT 22): United Malacca’s 1QFY16 results
were within our expectations. Net profit of RM12.3 million accounted for 23% of our full-year estimate.On a quarter-on-quarter
(q-o-q) basis, net profit increased 23.7%, mainly attributable to
higher fresh fruit bunch (FFB) production. Note that FFB production increased by 29.4% q-o-q to 90,200 tonnes,while crude
palm oil (CPO) production rose 43.8% q-o-q to 21,000 tonnes.The
group’s average realised CPO price in 1QFY16 was RM2,220 per
tonne, close to the average CPO spot price during the quarter.
Management expects FFB production to increase 5% as an
additional 1,200ha will reach maturity and be ready to harvest in FY16. Approximately 81% of its planted oil palms are
under 15 years old, which is the prime age category. However,
management remains concerned over the dry weather in Sabah for the last two quarters, and the risk of a severe El Niño
in the coming months.
We like United Malacca due to its young tree profile, strong
growth potential, insignificant direct currency risk exposure
and reasonable valuations.
ALLIANCEDBS RESEARCH (SEPT 22): Management updated
on three key business divisions, with a focus on the sensor
division, especially 3D imaging sensors.The next-gen smartphone by GTB’s end-customer will likely adopt dual-lens
camera technology in 2016. As each lens will be paired with
a 3D imaging sensor, this means there will be two 3D imaging sensors per smartphone (as opposed to one currently).
At full production, the 3D imaging sensor is expected to
overtake the proximity sensor as the main revenue contributor, given its higher volume and average selling price. We
believe there is growing excitement about the 3D imaging
sensor as it will be used in a popular smartphone model. For
wearable sensors, the wearable device is new in the market,
so it could take time for volume to scale up meaningfully.
We trim FY15F earnings by 5% mainly because of weakness
in the LED division. But, we nudge up FY16 to FY17F earnings
by 2% to 14% after raising revenue contribution from the sensor division and imputing more favourable exchange rates.
AFFIN HWANG CAPITAL (SEPT 21): Lafarge Malaysia has
entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with PT
Holcim Indonesia to acquire the latter’s entire stake in Holcim
Malaysia for RM330 million. This is at a discount to local and
regional players at an estimated EV/Ebitda of 10.8 times and
EV/tonne of US$229. As at end-December 2014, Lafarge’s cash
balance stood at RM461 million. We believe the acquisition
could be partially funded through bank borrowings.Assuming
full funding via bank borrowings, estimated net gearing will
still only stand at 4.8%.
Holcim Malaysia operates a cement grinding plant, with
an annual installed production capacity of 1.19 million tonnes.
Hence, this acquisition will raise Lafarge’s grinding capacity by
9.2% to 14.14 million tonnes per year. Holcim’s plant is located
in Pasir Gudang, Johor,where Lafarge also has grinding plants.
All things being equal, based on the additional grinding
capacity, the proposed acquisition could enhance Lafarge’s
2016/17E EPS by 4% to 5%. We make no changes to our earnings
forecast for now.

ALLIANCEDBS RESEARCH (SEPT 21): UEMS enjoys the advantage of low land cost at Iskandar Malaysia as the master
developer of Nusajaya. However, after strong appreciation of
land and property prices in recent years, the market has started
to grapple with increasing property supply, especially highend condos, exacerbated by the aggressive entry of Chinese
developers. The weak sentiment towards Iskandar Malaysia
properties has also dragged down UEMS’ sales significantly.
Near-term earnings visibility is supported by RM3.8 billion unrecognised revenue.This is 2.5 times FY15 property development revenue, and the group would not need to rely as
much on land sales. Management has set a RM2 billion sales
target for FY15 (RM2.2 billion in FY14) but it has only achieved
RM600 million sales in 1H15 due to delays in some launches.
Given the high concentration of UEMS’ landbank in Iskandar Malaysia, the group may not be able to monetise the deep
value of its land there anytime soon, given the weak sentiment towards Iskandar Malaysia properties. And there is no
near-term rerating catalyst for the stock.

With estimated 10% PBT, the job is expected to yield circa
RM4 million per year during the construction period, which
would constitute about 3% of our FY15 to FY16F estimates. We
keep our earnings estimates unchanged as the job is within
our expected job replenishment rate.
With the new project, we estimate the group’s job replenishment to rise to about RM1 billion which includes the Lusail Development project secured in 1Q. We estimate the total
outstanding order book to be some RM3.5 billion. As for the
tender book, recent tenders are estimated to be worth some
RM8.6 billion, with RM4.7 billion of bids already submitted.
With the huge cash arbitral award,we are no longer worried
about the group’s gearing and delay of the proposed REIT.The
monetisation of its investment assets could be used to repay
shareholders as the balance sheet is already strengthened.

MAYBANK IB RESEARCH (SEPT 21): IJM has clinched a contract from Hotel Equatorial and Fenghuang Development to
construct a 52-storey block mixed-use commercial development, known as Equatorial Plaza in Kuala Lumpur, worth
RM455.5 million. The contract covers the construction of the
podium block, office tower and hotel tower and the interior
design works for the hotel tower and hotel outlets. Work is
expected to be completed in 3QFY19, within 36 months.
This job win has enhanced IJM’s outstanding order book
by 6.7% to RM7.26 billion, we estimate. Assuming a pre-tax
profit margin of 5%, we forecast a net profit contribution of
RM17.1 million (0.5 sen EPS) into FY19. We maintain our earnings forecasts, which have imputed RM1 billion job wins for
FY16, with RM456 million clinched to date.
IJM’s construction order book will be supported by the
upcoming mega rail projects riding on IJM’s strong delivery
performance in the KVMRT 1 project. More job wins could
also emanate from highway projects such as the West Coast
Expressway’s remaining RM2.2 billion packages.

Thai Beverage Public Company Limited produces a wide range of branded beer and spirits in Thailand.
Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust (A-REIT) is a property trust constituted by a trust deed. A-REIT owns
and invests in a diverse, income producing portfolio of business park (including science park), light industrial,
hi-tech industrial and logistic properties in Singapore.
CIMB (SEPT 21): We understand that in August this year,Thai Beverage consolidated four
Chang sub-brands into one, and launched new
packaging for its flagship Chang Classic. Due
to the launch of the new packaging, August
beer sales to its trade channels were held back
so as to clear inventory.A spike in advertising
and promotion activities in August/September
is also to be expected. This means beer Ebitda
will be poor in 3Q15.
The short-term earnings blip is temporary.
Focusing on poor 3Q beer Ebitda misses the
point. The three sub-brands (Chang Export,
Chang Light and Chang Draught) were not
strong to begin with; they were created to
compete with Leo.
Thai Beverage currently has a 30% market
share, primarily driven by Chang beer. Key
CIMB (SEPT 20): Ascendas REIT (A-Reit) is
proposing to acquire A$1.013 billion worth
of prime grade logistics properties in Australia from vendors GIC and Frasers Property
Australia. The portfolio comprises 26 properties with 603,946 sq m gross floor area (GFA)
spread across Sydney (33% of GFA), Melbourne
(42%), Brisbane and Perth (25%). The portfolio is 94.4% occupied, with weighted average
lease expiry of 6.1 years. All the properties are
located within 40km of the respective central
business districts. The portfolio has quality
tenants such as Wesfarmers, CEVA Logistics,
Nestle and Linfox.
The acquisition propels A-REIT to the eighth
largest logistics property owner in the country and gives it a strong foothold in a deep and
mature market with strong population growth,
competitor Boon Rawd has a 66% market
share, primarily driven by Leo. We believe
the new packaging design and a further
step-down in alcohol content reflect the
company’s latest bid to recapture market
share among younger drinkers. Management
aspires to grow its current market share towards 45% to 50%.
We checked if the recent bomb blast at the
Erawan Shrine in Bangkok, or impending rules
that ban the sale of alcohol near schools, has
had any impact. Management believes that
while the bomb blast will pose some drag
to the tourism trade and on-premises sales,
the effect will be minor as the tourist trade
has been weak since 2013, and the blast happened in the low season when sales are usually weaker anyway.

ing its seventh VSIP project (VSIP Nghe An).
VSIP has attracted US$7.9 billion in total investment capital from over 583 companies in
Vietnam, and the total gross area of the seven
developments (including phase one of VSIP
Nghe An) is 6,153ha.
The implied utilities stub is trading at about
seven times PER, close to one standard deviation below its historical average. Considering
that utilities is a less cyclical industry (and
a growing one for the overseas segment due
to rising emerging market demand), as well
as SCI’s demonstration of its capabilities in
developing and executing large-scale greenfield projects over the years, we believe the
utilities segment has been underappreciated.

OCBC INVESTMENT RESEARCH (SEPT 21):
The stock market, including Sembcorp Industries’ (SCI) stock, has been relatively volatile;
SCI’s share price dropped by about 34% from
its April 21 peak to as low as S$3.08 on Aug
24, before recovering 14% to its current level.
However, it is still business as usual. In fact
SCI has been expanding its operations, with
the breaking of ground for its seventh Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) on Sept
16 and the commencement of full commercial operations for the second 660mw unit in
its Indian power project, Thermal Powertech
Corp India (TPCIL).
The first VSIP was established in 1996, in
Binh Duong province near Ho Chi Minh City,
and about 20 years later SCI is now develop-
1500
rising consumption and a well-organised logistics sector. Market occupancy is also expected
to stay high, given low incoming supply. The
deal will diversify A-REIT’s portfolio (14% of
asset value located overseas), provide sustainable income with longer blended weighted
average lease expiry of four years and inbuilt
3.3% per annum rental escalation structure.
We raise FY16 and FY17 dividend per unit
1.9% to 5.5% on acquisition accretion, based on
an assumed interest cost of 4.5% for the perpetual securities.We view A-REIT’s transaction
positively, as this provides the trust with scale
and a platform to expand through partnerships with real estate partners in Australia.
Our revised dividend discount model-backed
target price of S$2.57 (cost of equity raised to
8%) offers potential upside of 15%.

QAF Limited manufactures and distributes bread, bakery, and confectionery products. It also operates
supermarkets and cold storage warehousing. QAF trades and distributes food, beverages, food related
ingredients and commodities and produces, processes, and markets pork and feed mill production.
OCBC INVESTMENT RESEARCH (SEPT 18): An
established market leader in baked goods and
pork production, QAF Ltd is primarily engaged
in bakery manufacturing and distribution,
with leading brands Gardenia and Bonjour,
while it also owns the largest fully integrated
pork production business in Australia under
Rivalea.The group’s bakery brands command
60% of market share under the packaged loaf
bread segment in Singapore.
Within the broader baked goods segment
(bread, cakes, pastries), it is a leader in its core
markets,with market share of 26% in Singapore,
18% in Malaysia and 11% in the Philippines.
We note that both of the group’s core businesses hold competitive strengths, such as
branding power, value-added product portfo-
lio, as well as extensive distribution networks
in its core markets. The group leverages its
knowledge and research capabilities to launch
new products and productivity initiatives to
garner better margins.
QAF is currently trading at 10.6 times FY15/
FY16F, below its peers’ averages for both consumer goods (22 to 26 times) as well as integrated food producers (12 to 18 times). In addition,
the stock has been offering a stable dividend
payout of S$0.05 per share since FY11, which
gives a dividend yield of about 5%.
We think this inexpensive stock deserves
more attention. Using SOP methodology, we
have derived a target price of S$1.27, implying
a total return potential of 33%. Initiate coverage with “buy”.

PT Ciputra Development Tbk develops and sells real estate including office spaces, shopping centers, and
related facilities as well as industrial estates. The company also designs, develops, and maintains housing
facilities including golf courses, clubs, restaurants, recreational places, and related facilities.
Bangkok Bank Public Company Limited provides various banking and financial services including
commercial, consumer, credit card, and mortgage lending, international trade financing, investment banking,
and securities services.
INDO PREMIER SECURITIES (SEPT 21): On
the back of slow 8M15 marketing sales (46% of
the company’s initial target),mostly from slower
sales in the high-rise projects under the subsidiary (CTRP IJ),we estimate lower FY15 marketing
sales of IDR8.7 trillion,9% lower than the company’s revised-down FY15 target of IDR9.5 trillion.
As a result, we have trimmed our FY15 revenue
forecast by 7.8% to IDR7.41 trillion.
Greater contribution from landed products
should allow the company to book a FY15 gross
margin of 48%. Nonetheless, higher operating
expenditure to support new projects,combined
with growing financing cost, leads us to reduce
our net profit forecast by 7% to IDR1.36 trillion.
CTRA has 72 projects in 33 cities in Indonesia,
with a focus on developing new housing projects
in second- and third-tier cities.We believe the 12
MAYBANK KIM ENG (SEPT 17): The newly-appointed economics team is working to
expedite infrastructure investments, earmarking THB1.6 trillion worth of projects for
rollout in FY15/FY16 and FY16/FY17. We believe
some of these projects will be pushed ahead
under the public private participation (PPP)
scheme so as to help the government meet
the new public debt ceiling of 50% to gross
domestic product.
With the lower cap on debt, the government
has room to borrow THB1 trillion, based on our
estimate, which is about a third of the THB3.4
trillion total investment plan. This implies a
higher degree of private capital involvement
than previously expected.The increasing private sector participation would be a positive
catalyst for Bangkok Bank as the bank favours
million housing backlog in Indonesia provides
sustainable demand for houses, which should
benefit the developer amid slow demand in the
property market.The company recorded stable
housing demand of 4,169 units in 1H15,compared
with 8,953 units in FY14,allowing it to book 29%
y-o-y growth in 1H15 marketing sales.
We maintain our “buy” recommendation,as
we believe the company will maintain its sales
going forward from housing/commercial projects
across Indonesia. Growing recurring income,
with 15% to 18% contribution to FY15/FY16F revenue, should also support the company’s cash
flow ahead. We roll over our valuation to 2016F
and apply flat 12-month forward selling price,
resulting in a lower RNAV per share of IDR2,238.
Based on a 50% discount to our RNAV estimates,
our new target price is IDR1,150.

corporate loans. With the lowest loan-to-deposit ratio of 78.8% in 2Q15 against a 90.8%
industry average, Bangkok Bank is well placed
to pick up market share.
Bangkok Bank’s share price has become
attractive after underperforming the sector
in the current recovery since the trough correction in July.
Like Krungthai Bank (KTB), Bangkok Bank
is rarely seen trading below its book value. At
the end of 2Q15, Bangkok Bank’s book value
was THB183.3 and at the current share price,
it is trading at 0.9 times.And just like KTB, we
expect Bangkok Bank’s share price to snap
back to over one times price-to-book value.
With Bangkok Bank now cheaper than KTB,
we recommend investors to switch out of KTB
to Bangkok Bank.

PT Gudang Garam Tbk manufactures and distributes cigarettes and operates activities related to the
cigarette industry. Through its subsidiaries, the company also operates in the paper-related activities.
AviChina Industry & Technology Co Ltd manufactures and sells aviation tools and aero-parts. The company’s
main products include helicopters, regional aircraft, trainers, general aircraft, aero-parts and components and
aero-electrical products.
UOB KAYHIAN (SEPT 22): We initiate coverage
on Gudang Garam (GGRM) with a “buy” and target
price of IDR50,000 in view of the strong pricing
power of cigarettes and across-the-board price
hikes. Indonesia has a tobacco demand elasticity of -0.6, meaning every 10% increase in price
would result in only a 6% decline in sales volume.
Thus,average selling price hikes would translate
into higher profit.Notwithstanding the year-onyear (y-o-y) decline in profit in 1H15,historically,
GGRM has never suffered more than one year of
profit decline. Thus, we expect its profit could
recover in 2016 by 20.1% y-o-y.
Unfiltered hand-rolled cigarette smokers
are also migrating to the full-flavour machine
rolled cigarette segment. Traditionally, GGRM
has been strong in the machine-rolled segment
BOCOM INTERNATIONAL (SEPT 22): AviChina has become the largest producer of helicopters and trainers and a leading general aircraft
producer in China, backed by its parent, AVIC,
which has a dominant position in the China
aviation industry in both civil and military aircraft.AviChina has controlling holdings in four
A-share listed aviation-related companies,namely
AVIC Helicopter, Hongdu Aviation,AVIC Avionics and China Aviation Optical.AviChina is also
engaged in the development and manufacture
of aviation parts and components, avionics and
electric connectors.
On the civil aircraft market,AviChina is the
major beneficiary of growing general aircraft
demand. With the opening of low-altitude airspace, we project a compound annual growth
and has experienced a pick-up in sales volume
for full-flavoured brands GG International and
GG Surya on the back of this trend.
Given the required minimum 7.5% free float,
Philip Morris could offer 269.72 million shares
in a rights issue of its ownership of HM Sampoerna (HMSP) to the public. This could raise
over US$1.2 billion to US$1.4 billion and could
prompt existing shareholders of GGRM to sell
their shares, resulting in short-term pressure
on GGRM’s share price.
At 14.6 times 2016F PER,GGRM is trading one
standard deviation below the average PER of 17.2
times.As operating fundamentals would favour
GGRM over HMSP, this could be an opportunity
for long-term investors to establish a position
in GGRM at an attractive price.
rate (CAGR) of 24.4% from 2015 to 2020 for China’s
civilian helicopter ownership.
On the military aircraft market, around 80%
to 90% of AviChina’s orders come from the government.We view the tensions between China
and Japan as the major factor for China’s defence spending to continue to grow.We forecast
a CAGR of 13.8% for China’s defence spending
from 2015 to 2025.
We think AviChina is a good investment to
ride China’s fast growing defence sector and the
“Made in China 2025” theme, given its 36% discount to the market value of its shareholdings
in four A-share subsidiaries. Our target price is
HK$7, translating into a 23.2% net asset value
discount (slightly less than the 30% three-year
historical discount).

Expansion of gold mining ops makes Bornoil-WB attractive
REUTERS
Warrants update (as at Sept 24, 2015)
B
B Y Y E N N E FO O
orneo Oil Bhd, a company better
known for operating a fast-food
chain, is slowly making a name for
itself as a gold miner. The company
has said that it is poised to capitalise
on the upswing in sentiment in gold, given
the current weak global macroeconomic environment. Gold has always been touted as
a safe haven asset for investors.
To do this, Borneo Oil is planning heavy
investments to accelerate the growth of its
mining business. Recently, regulators approved the company’s proposal to raise at
least RM223.39 million to expand its mining operations through a rights issue and
an issuance of warrants. It is a sizeable sum
compared with the company’s market capitalisation of RM230.7 million.
The rights shares are to be issued on the
basis of six shares for every one Borneo Oil
share held, at an indicative price of 10 sen
apiece. Also, one free warrant will be given
for every two rights shares subscribed. The
indicative issue represents a 33% discount

to the theoretical ex-rights share price of
15 sen, based on its closing price of 61 sen
on July 24.
According to the company, the expansion
of the gold mining activities could raise its
net profit by more than 25% in the future.
As at the first half of its financial year ended Jan 21, 2015, Borneo Oil recorded revenue
of RM65.81 million, up 140% from a year ago.
Profit came in at RM3.4 million, compared
with RM845,000 in the previous corresponding period.
Meanwhile, Borneo Oil’s warrants — Bornoil-WB — offer an attractive entry point for
investors wanting to enjoy any upside in the
price of the mother share. The company-issued call warrant has an exercise price of 10
sen and a one-to-one conversion ratio. When
compared with the price of the mother share
of 61.5 sen, Bornoil-WB is trading at a 3.25%
discount.
Furthermore, the expiry date of Bornoil-WB — Feb 28, 2018 — offers investors more
than enough time to capture the upside that
Borneo Oil’s gold mining activity could offer
to the value of the underlying share. As an
American call warrant, Bornoil-WB can be
exercised anytime.
Currently, Borneo Oil has contracts to
explore, mine, extract and process minerals and precious metals in Mukim Batu Yon
and Hutan Simpan Hulu Jelai in Pahang. At
last count, the company had mined 25,331.25
tonnes of ores and produced 154.82 oz of gold
dore. It is understood that an extensive exploration is being planned for 1,200ha in
E
Bukit Ibam.

off-market trades
A
B Y FAT I N R AS Y I QA H M U S TA Z A
total of 345.22 million
shares worth RM235.29
million changed hands
off market in blocks of at
least 400,000 shares from
Sept 17 to 22.
Notable transactions during the
period included those in CWorks
Systems Bhd, which saw seven million of its shares or a 5.79% stake
worth RM1.82 million or 26 sen
apiece traded off market on Sept
18 in a direct deal. This is higher
than the counter’s closing price of
19 sen that day.
At press time, CWorks (fundamental: 2.25; valuation: 0) had not
made an announcement of who the
transacting parties were. However, it
is interesting to note that its major
shareholder, Roaring Achievements
Sdn Bhd, has been disposing of its
shares in the company since July
this year.
According to filings with Bursa
Malaysia, Roaring Achievements sold
the shares in several off-market transactions from July 7 to Sept 7, reducing
its shareholding to 7% from 13.73%. It
first surfaced in CWorks as the second largest shareholder in March last
year after purchasing a 9.09% stake
in the maintenance management
software company.
At the time, Borderless Linkages
Sdn Bhd, which was CWorks’ largest
shareholder, held an 18.18% stake.
However, Borderless Linkages — controlled by CWorks non-independent
non-executive director Thrinakarasi@Arrasu Munisamy — ceased to be
a substantial shareholder in June this
year after it disposed of 20 million
shares off market.
Over at Ideal Sun City Holdings
Bhd, seven million shares or 4.31%
equity interest valued at RM1.82 million or 40 sen apiece were traded in
a direct deal on Sept 22. The stock
closed at 39 sen on the day the deal
was made.
There were no announcements
made on the transaction. However, it is worth noting that Ideal Sun
City Holdings (fundamental: 3; valuation: 0.30) is indirectly linked to the
implementation of the alternative
transport master plan for Penang and
provisions of new reclamation sites.
Recall that Gamuda Bhd announced that it had partnered
Ideal Property Development Sdn
Bhd and Loh Phoy Yen Holdings
Sdn Bhd in a 60:20:20 consortium
and was awarded the job as the
project development partner for
Ideal Sun City
Holdings

inggit-denominated government bonds pared gains
ahead of the mid-week break
last week as players trimmed
their position, triggered by
the weaker ringgit.
Elsewhere, some focus was directed
at the maturing Malaysian Government Securities (MGS) Sep’15, which
garnered heavy trading interest midweek. MGS Sep’15 saw maturity of
RM11.0 billion, and this comes ahead
of another RM8.2 billion of maturing
MGS Oct’15. In the near term, the maturing papers will boost liquidity and
may prompt some rolling-over into
other short-term government bonds,
such as the newly issued three-year
benchmark (MGS Mar’19).
However, the overall sentiment
was bearish as USD/MYR leaped and
revisited 4.3500 during mid-week, in
contrast to the 4.2068 level seen the
week before, as the USD staged a rebound after the knee-jerk selling activities following the Federal Open
Market Committee meeting. On top
of that, lower Brent crude oil prices,
from near US$50/bbl traded a week
prior, added pressure to the domestic
government bond market.
In any case, last week’s RM3 billion
reopening auction for seven-year Government Investment Issues (GII) was
well supported. Demand was decent
as the bids reached 1.915 times the
amount on offer, while average yield
closed at 4.222%. The market is now
eyeing the last scheduled auction for
the month of September — 15-year
MGS reopening, which will be tendered early this week. We expect an
issuance size of RM2.5 billion for the
upcoming auction.
On the data front, foreign reserves
edged higher from US$94.7 billion to
US$95.3 billion as at Sept 15. Meanwhile, the Consumer Price Index expanded at a faster-than-expected pace
of 3.1% in August, in contrast to 3.0%
forecasted earlier by economists. However, the economic data releases appear to have little impact on the bond
market, as players focused more on
the ringgit.
This week, ringgit sovereign bonds
may see limited upside, anticipated to
be supported by month-end and 3Q2015
demand.However,some downside may
rear its head in view of the weak ringgit and crude oil, in our view.
Apart from that, the corporate bond
market saw improved but light bidding
interest over the week. Trading activities were slanted towards short and
medium-term papers, such as Gas Malaysia Apr’16 and Danga Apr’20, alongside tranches from BGSM and Malakoff. Despite the improved sentiment,
we reckon that the upside remains
limited for corporate bonds — it is dependent on whether the government
bond market and ringgit can stabilise.
The primary market for corporate
bonds was quiet,with Paramount Corp
being the sole issuer. The company
issued two tranches (RM50 million
each) of floating callable bonds — Series B1 (callable at Sep’20) and Series B2
(callable at Sep’22) at 6.95% and 7.20%
respectively.

It is time to stop trying to re-slice
the pie and start ensuring that it
gets bigger in a more inclusive way,
so that there is more to go around
and more people get a slice.
It is now time to move towards
‘centripetalism’, which is genuine

a more sustained system of

FORUM EDITOR | AZAM ARIS
The Malay agenda
T
he subject of Malay angst is a popular one lately. Not everyone is upset, of
course, but there is a segment among
the Malays, perhaps driven by a sense
of insecurity, who have created mental
models that put themselves under siege.
They feel disunited, threatened, and their honour
besmirched. This, despite the Malays controlling
almost all parts of officialdom in the country and
constituting more than 60% of the population.
Many commentators have pointed out the
unreasonableness of these sentiments. That this
is an imagined reality, propagated for less than
honorable intentions — to develop a political constituency among the Malays based on their fears
and, perhaps, on their prejudices. Stoking racial
sentiments is really going down the slippery slope
that can have terrible consequences. We should
do everything to avoid even approaching that
slippery slope. Thus far, I am quite disappointed
with the kind of leadership exhibited on this.
We should make Malaysians realise what is
happening in Syria — a beautiful ancient country
now decimated by internal strife caused by sectarian differences. People who used to live together
are now killing one another, fleeing their homes,
becoming refugees in other lands.
We have forgotten what happened to Yugoslavia — the barbarism, murder and bloodshed that
saw the country broken up into pieces. It existed
as a country for over 60 years prior to that and
what happened seemed to suggest that they lived
a lie all those years. Are we living a lie ourselves?
The Malays do have some problems and the
real issue is under-development. It is not an uncommon problem — the sociological and economic dimensions of development are well studied
and understood, and some of them are applicable
here. But the departure point must be the proper
phrasing of the problem — this is a developmental
problem that requires developmental solutions.
The Malay under-development is multi-faceted.
There is still a sizeable segment of the community whose income levels are low, low enough and
numerous enough in numbers that the average
Malay income is below the national average. That
says something about their levels of human capital.
There is also the issue of distribution of income
which is highly uneven. It is more uneven than
the distribution of income between the races as
indeed, over time, there are greater intra-racial
variances in income than inter-racial variances.
Why, in spite of everything, are the Malays, on
average, still laggards in the development story?
Which Malays have benefited and what happened
to the rest?
Clearly, the model of development that created
access to basic education and health is over. That
was in the early decades after Merdeka and it was
done well. This greater, almost universal, access
to educational opportunities created capabilities,
which were then translated into upward mobility as more Malays entered the labour market.
From that point onwards, further development
went beyond providing access through physical
development into the “softer” areas of values
and institutions.
Over time, however, solving a developmental
problem, which is a national problem, became a
Malay problem. There seem to be dual but parallel tracks of national and Malay or more generally

Making democracy work is everyone’s business
O
n Malaysia Day, Sept 16, media reports
on the results of a national unity survey conducted earlier this year bore the
disconcerting news that some 55% of
Malaysians believe that the country is
heading in the wrong direction, in terms
of its economy and governance.
A few days later, on Sept 22, Pakatan Harapan, a
new coalition of the main opposition parties — minus
the conservative Islamic party PAS — was launched.
Despite its optimistic name, the Coalition of Hope
has failed to stir excitement among the general
public, say observers.
So, the nation appears to be stuck in an uncomfortable spot: a strong feeling of disquiet at the
status quo on the one hand, and a nagging sense
of uncertainty about the alternative proposition,
on the other.
Food for thought, no doubt. What will it take,
one might ask, for Malaysia to rediscover its sense
of mission, to determine for certain what the roots
of its malaise are and to understand what its short
and long-term goals should be.
To deal with the uncertainty over its political future, a culture of mature discourse is sorely needed to
elicit the best options for its people.Unfortunately,the
general public does not have much practice in open,
dispassionate dialogue, no thanks to the communal
sentiments that are ingrained in the political system.
The search for a way forward must start with the
recognition that the current racial and religious-based
political framework, which had appeared to ensure
justice and harmony for Malaysia’s diverse communities is, in reality, a dead end.
Therefore, we need to take many baby steps towards a social and political environment that accepts
egalitarianism as an integral element of modern

society. This would include a progressive interpretation of special rights as enshrined in the Federal
Constitution and an enabling vision that can harness
the best qualities of its citizens in all their diversity
for the greater glory of the nation.
It is heartening that a senior leader like Tan Sri
Rafidah Aziz has recently taken to pointedly pushing for a mindset change about race relations, using
the communications tool of today — social media.
However, her trademark candour is especially noticeable for its virtual absence in the ranks of current government leaders.
This brings us to a sobering realisation that the
road to Malaysia’s political maturity is surely going
to be long and rather bumpy.
Further, it is important to recognise that an open
political space can only exist if it is supported by an
engaged, critically conscious and ethically grounded citizenry. It is evident that a passive, unmindful
and amoral public will tend not to stand up to misfeasance, corruption or bad governance.
So, in order to take the country beyond the turmoil of a changing political landscape, much systematic work is needed to lay the foundations of a
sound democratic society.
Citizens must be encouraged to think critically,
speak their minds, engage with constituencies beyond their domestic walls and open their minds to
a broad worldview.
All these are lifelong habits that are most effectively implanted from a young age. Therefore, the
country’s political culture cannot be expected to
evolve in a healthy way before a generational shift
in attitudes towards citizens’ roles in a democracy
has taken place.
While civil society groups can be relied upon to
continue pushing for democratic freedoms to be
recognised, a free society can only flourish when
all other stakeholders in our nationhood infuse the
principles of democracy into the lifeblood of their
institutions.
Corporate citizenship, for example, could evolve
beyond disaster relief, study aid and welfare assistance to include support for programmes that foster diversity. Professional institutions could sponsor projects that enhance accountability and good
governance. Concerned individuals can volunteer
time with groups that serve to democratise access
to information, and so on.
The upshot of all this is that citizens must take
ownership of making democracy work and not leave
it to the political class to sway the course of the nation’s affairs.
So, while it is only natural that the public is disappointed that the political landscape appears to
be hopelessly fragmented, this should only propel
concerned citizens to join the collective effort to
create a vibrant democracy for the future.
Only when the citizenry as a whole is determined
to bring about a change in the quality of governance
by pressing unceasingly for accountability, transparency and the protection of justice by those in public
office can such a future materialise.
If enough Malaysians cannot find the motivation
to make a difference to the country’s future, even
under the current troubling circumstances, there
is every likelihood that, for better or for worse, we
may be stuck in the current pathway for an indefinite span of time.
This brings us squarely to the adage that the peoE

Why the Fed buried monetarism
T
he US Federal Reserve’s decision to delay
an increase in interest rates should have
come as no surprise to anyone who has
been paying attention to Fed Chair Janet
Yellen’s comments. The Fed’s decision
merely confirmed that it is not indifferent to international financial stress, and that
its risk management approach remains strongly
biased in favour of “lower for longer”. So, why did
the markets and media behave as if the Fed’s action (or, more precisely, inaction) was unexpected?
What really shocked the markets was not the
Fed’s decision to maintain zero interest rates for
a few more months, but the statement that accompanied it. The Fed revealed that it was entirely
unconcerned about the risks of higher inflation
and was eager to push unemployment below what
most economists regard as its “natural” rate of
around 5%.
It is this relationship — between inflation
and unemployment — that lies at the heart of all
controversies about monetary policy and central
banking. And almost all modern economic models,
including those used by the Fed, are based on the
monetarist theory of interest rates pioneered by
Milton Friedman in his 1967 presidential address
my
Say
BY
ANATOLE KALETSKY
to the American Economic Association.
Friedman’s theory asserted that inflation would
automatically accelerate without limit once unemployment fell below a minimum safe level, which
he described as the “natural” unemployment rate.
In Friedman’s original work, the natural unemployment rate was a purely theoretical conjecture,
founded on an assumption described as “rational
expectations”, even though it ran counter to any
normal definition of rational behaviour.
The theory’s publication at a time of worldwide alarm about double-digit inflation offered
central bankers exactly the pretext they needed
for desperately unpopular actions. By dramatically increasing interest rates to fight inflation,
policymakers broke the power of organised labour
while avoiding blame for the mass unemployment
that monetary austerity was bound to produce.
A few years later, Friedman’s “natural” rate was
replaced with the less value-laden and more erudite-sounding “non-accelerating inflation rate
of unemployment” (NAIRU). But the basic idea
was always the same. If monetary policy is used
to try to push unemployment below some predetermined level, inflation will accelerate without
limit and destroy jobs. A monetary policy aiming
for sub-NAIRU unemployment must, therefore,
be avoided at all costs.
A more extreme version of the theory asserts
that there is no lasting trade-off between inflation and unemployment. All efforts to stimulate
job creation or economic growth with easy money will merely boost price growth, offsetting any
effect on unemployment. Monetary policy must,
therefore, focus solely on hitting inflation targets,
and central bankers should be exonerated of any
blame for unemployment.
The monetarist theory that justified narrowing
central banks’ responsibilities to inflation targeting had very little empirical backing when Friedman proposed it. Since then, it has been refuted
both by political experience and statistical testing. Monetary policy, far from being dissipated in
rising prices, as the theory predicted, turned out
to have a much greater impact on unemployment
than on inflation, especially in the past 20 years.
But, despite empirical refutation, the ideological attractiveness of monetarism, supported by
the supposed authority of “rational” expectations,
proved overwhelming. As a result, the purely inflation-oriented approach to monetary policy gained

sphere
Which brings us to an even more important
question — the subject of The Politics of Race (a book
by Jill Vickers and Annette Isaac). It is about how
state-sanctioned race discrimination occurs, and
how governments use laws, policies and state institutions to make, administer and remake race to
win elections and stay in power.
Because the politics of race is so embedded and
ingrained, most people do not see it happening. If
they do see it, they may not think it is wrong. Some
are willing to accept it while some actually like it
because it serves their interests.
Governments also institutionalise discourses
that support the politics of race, hence the political science term “democratic racism”. It means a
race regime that includes a racialist ideology as
well as norms and practices that permit and sustain peoples’ ability to maintain two apparently
conflicting sets of values.
But we should evaluate the politics of race, for
example, by asking the following:
1. How systematic racism and race conflict originate in government.
2. How, through complex combinations of laws,
policies and practices, other races have been
governed through a race regime.
3. How other races are demanding inclusion, racial
justice and fair share.
4. How the government responds to such demands.
5. How the people are reclaiming their fair share.
It is now time to form a “coalition of minds”
that go beyond partisan politics in putting a stop
to the politics of race and develop a new multi-racial political thought.
For a long time, our country has been governed
by the politics of “consociationalism” — which emphasises the bargaining power between races. It is
now time to move towards “centripetalism”, which
is genuine multi-racial collaboration towards a more
sustained system of parliamentary democracy. E

Growing out of inequality
I
ncome inequality has been increasing in most
major economies — and in many of them, it has
been increasing significantly. This is a cause for
growing concern, and rightly so: Inequality can
not only undermine an economy’s long-term
growth prospects but also restrain growth in
the short term by depressing aggregate demand.
The typical approach to tackling inequality —
redistributive tax-and-transfer fiscal policies — can
be controversial and divisive, owing to perceived
trade-offs between economic growth and greater
equality. The result is usually heated debate and
passionate rhetoric, but little concrete action. Politicians are especially prone to this dynamic — as
evidenced by much of the conversation about inequality in the ongoing presidential election campaign in the US.
There is a better way, one that is less controversial
and politically more amenable to action: putting in
place reforms that promote strong, inclusive growth
that by its nature reduces inequality.This approach
focuses on reducing inequalities of opportunity and
broadening the base of participants in the growth
process, thereby ensuring that more people benefit
from it. Politicians who champion this approach may
find it easier to build winning coalitions to enact it.
The range of policies that can stimulate inclusive growth is broad. It includes improving access
to markets, levelling the playing field for large and
small firms, investing in human capital and promoting job creation. Regulatory and institutional
reforms that strengthen the rule of law and promote open, competitive and fair business environ-
my
Say
BY ZIA QURESHI
ments are one example. This agenda also features
the development of infrastructure that expands
economic opportunities and policies that make it
easier to access finance.
Education is a key area to consider when promoting inclusive growth. Improving the availability and
quality of education expands the talent pool in the
labour force and upgrades and broadens its skills
base. Early childhood development programmes,
for example, have been demonstrated to provide
lifelong educational benefits and the foundation
for success in the workplace.
Moreover, it is important to remove barriers in
the labour market. Greater flexibility is crucial to
providing opportunities for an educated workforce
to find well-paying jobs — especially when efforts to
do so are complemented by macroeconomic policies
that boost demand for labour.The removal of barriers
to women’s participation in economic activity is another important lever for sparking inclusive growth.
The effectiveness and appropriateness of reforms
that promote inclusive growth will differ from place
to place. But few countries lack significant opportunities to strengthen several policies in this area.
To be sure, redistributive fiscal policies often
will remain necessary. But it is important that they
be designed in a way that causes as little economic
harm as possible. Well-designed tax-and-transfer
policies may not be inimical to growth — or at least
can minimise the efficiency cost of redistribution.
On the tax side, examples include expanding the
base of the personal income tax, ensuring that the
rate structure is progressive, removing excessive
and regressive exemptions, and improving property
taxation. On the transfer side, they include retooling
social safety nets to encourage acquisition of new
skills and capabilities (conditional cash transfers
are one possibility) and retooling social-insurance
programmes to eliminate adverse incentives and
bolster their breadth and sustainability.
This agenda is all the more important because
rising inequality can produce a backlash against globalisation and technological change, both of which
are major drivers of economic growth. Rather than
attempting to restrain them, policies must address
their more disruptive effects in a careful and imaginative way, through education and retraining programmes, more flexible labour markets that allow
workers to adjust to changes in the economic environment, and well-designed safety nets to support
them through the process. International cooperation
will be key to managing some aspects of globalisation, especially regarding taxes on mobile capital.
At a time when the world is concerned with both
slowing economic growth and rising inequality,
policies that can be simultaneously pro-growth and
pro-equality merit close consideration. It is time
to stop trying to re-slice the pie and start ensuring
that it gets bigger in a more inclusive way, so that
there is more to go around and more people get a

Winning with culture
B
y the time the mountain had stopped
shaking, 167 climbers were stranded on
Mount Kinabalu. It was 7.16am on Friday the 5th of June 2015, and a powerful
earthquake measuring 6.0 on the Richter
scale had just struck Sabah. Pathways
were destroyed by falling rocks and trails blocked
off. As a local guide observed: “All the paths vanished”. Conditions were hardest for a group of
climbers stranded at near-freezing temperatures
at the peak. They waited all day for a helicopter
rescue. Amidst the confusion and panic, it was
the local Kadazan-Dusun guides who emerged
as heroes. Over 90 guides volunteered to save the
stranded and carry the injured to safety. Five of
them perished on the mountain that fateful day.
But so strong is their belief in client servitude and
being safety-focused that these guides regularly
place the safety of the climbers in their charge
ahead of their own.
What made the mountain guides behave this
way, when it wasn’t written down in any manual
or articulated in any job description? The answer
can be found in the mountain culture of this tightknit community, created by informal leaders and
informal codes of conduct that have directly nurtured this relentless safety and service focus. In
established mountain guide communities such
as in North America and Europe, local mountain
guide associations reinforce this mountain culture through apprenticeship, codes of ethics and
accreditation systems. In Asia, businesses such
as Singapore Airlines and the Taj Group of Hotels
have established reputations for service excellence
because they work with their cultures to build
high-performance environments.
plicitly stated business objectives. For example,
a telecommunications company adopted a new
customer-centric strategy, and then identified the
few critical behaviour changes required in its call
centres for that new strategy to come to life: taking ownership of the customer’s problem, earning
the customer’s confidence by listening and anticipating future needs.
Typically, addressing a set of three to five key
behaviours is doable. Behaviour changes can then
be assessed, measured and spread. As new behaviours yield results, leaders are able to evolve the
attitudes and beliefs that constitute your culture.
Remember, it’s easier to act your way into a new
way of thinking than the other way around.
Finally, to embed these behaviours, leadership
teams need to enlist and activate a few special
forces in the form of authentic but informal leaders or “Pride Builders”. Pride Builders are employees who instinctively know how to connect what
makes individuals feel good with their day-to-day
activities, which then helps instil pride in the work
they do. Pride Builders can play a substantial role
in mobilising the kind of emotional commitments
that make behaviour change happen.
Don’t blame your culture, embrace it
Culture is the self-sustaining patterns of behaving,
feeling, thinking, and believing that determine
“how we do things around here”. From the work
we’ve done with local companies, we’ve come to
realise that often, senior leaders will blame their
company culture for business problems — a problem
that is not unique to Malaysia, but also happens in
many developing countries. For example, a senior
executive in a private company told us that “their
personality-driven culture limited development
of a leadership pipeline in their organisation”. Another senior executive highlighted an “overly consultative culture and over-reliance on committees
as an impediment to decision making speed and a
scalable organisation that can compete globally”.
But instead of blaming culture, what if senior
executives used their existing corporate cultures
to reinforce the behaviours that create high-performance organisations?

Work with your culture
to build a resilient organisation
Real value can be created when culture is put
right at the top of a business’ strategic priorities.
As an example, a major global technology firm
achieved a 20% increase in employee engagement
levels and US$ 100 million per year in cost savings
through a culture-led transformation programme.
Instead of creating a new culture initiative, the
firm’s leaders focused on accelerating and energising current initiatives. They encouraged the
critical behaviours that were part of the company's culture back when it was founded in the 1930s
— teamwork, high achievement and loyalty. The
leadership team made it a point to reinforce these
critical behaviours and enlisted the support of
frontline leaders to spread the behaviours virally.
These behaviours were simultaneously reinforced
when they were embedded into formal processes
such as performance management. The company adopted a holistic approach to organisational
change by finding ways to work with and within
their organisation’s culture.
Leveraging culture requires doing three things
coherently. First, by working with and within the
current culture, leadership teams can tap on the
emotional energy of their people. Organisational
cultures are never all bad. There are good elements

Malaysia’s senior executives cited leadership capacity, organisational capabilities and a scalable

and accelerating performance often requires that
employees at multiple levels of the organisation
change certain critical behaviours. To achieve this,
while knowing that culture itself isn’t something

new behaviours. Focusing on the critical few behaviours will align your culture more effectively
than forcing a major and potentially disruptive

China in the debt-deflation trap
I
n the wake of a global stock market selloff triggered by economic turmoil in China, the US
Federal Reserve has just decided to postpone
raising interest rates. Indeed, China is facing
the huge challenge of dealing with the risk of
a global debt-deflation trap.
In 1933, Irving Fisher was the first to identify
the dangers of over-indebtedness and deflation,
demonstrating their contribution to the Great Depression in the US. Forty years later, Charles Kindleberger applied the theory in a global context,
emphasising the problems that arise in a world
lacking coordinated and consistent monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policies, as well as an international lender of last resort. In 2011, Richard Koo
used Japan’s experience to highlight the risks of
a prolonged balance-sheet recession, when overstretched debtors deleverage in order to rebuild
their balance sheets.
The debt-deflation cycle begins with an imbalance or displacement, which fuels excessive exuberance, over-borrowing and speculative trading,
and ends in bust, with procyclical liquidation of
excess capacity and debt causing price deflation,
unemployment, and economic stagnation. The
result can be a deep depression.
In 2000, the imbalance was America’s large current-account deficit: the world’s largest economy
was borrowing heavily on international capital
markets, rather than lending, as one might expect.
According to then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke,
the problem was that countries running large surpluses were buying so many US Treasuries that
they were negating the Fed’s monetary policy efforts. But, as Claudio Borio, Hyun Shin, and others
have pointed out, excessive off-balance-sheet and
offshore lending by US and European banks also
added procyclical pressure.
As a result, risk-taking and leverage grew, facilitated by inadequate regulation, culminating
in the global financial crisis of 2008. To prevent
asset bubbles from collapsing and buy time for
more sustainable policy fixes, advanced-country
central banks implemented massive monetary easing and cut interest rates to zero. Unfortunately,
policymakers in most countries wasted the time
they were given; moreover, so-called quantitative
easing had far-reaching spillover effects.
Within China, a second displacement occurred:
the government implemented a RMB4 trillion
stimulus package in November 2008 to offset weak
demand in its major export markets. While the
Chinese authorities had the right idea, two of the
policy’s outcomes have complicated the reform
prcoess today.
First, instead of reducing excess capacity and encouraging a structural shift to higher-productivity
activities, the authorities’ investment-led strategy
BY ANDREW SHENG
AND XIAO GENG
Ultimately, escaping the debt-deflation trap will require China to rejuvenate total factor productivity
— an effort that the private sector is better equipped to lead
increased manufacturing capacity further,along with
excess capacity in global commodity production.
Second, the stimulus was funded by a debt binge,
especially among state-owned enterprises (SOEs)
and local governments. The private sector, too, built
up debt, with its limited access to equity capital
driving firms to the shadow banking sector. The
result is a debt overhang of 282% of GDP.
In short, China now faces the same debt-deflation challenge that much of the rest of the world
must address. The question, of course, is how. Some
argue that the answer is more of the same: continued monetary easing and additional fiscal stimulus.
Accumulating more debt (at lower interest rates)
can indeed buy time for economic restructuring.
But it will merely make matters worse if politicians
do not use the time to implement effective reforms.
There is no politically painless way out of the debt
trap. Indeed, the first step in that process is to face
up to losses, both in accounting and in real terms.
In the short run, even efforts to spur technological
progress and innovation, which might generate
recovery through new profits, are likely to have a
negative overall impact on employment, owing to
the creative destruction of obsolete industries. Recognising this, some argue that the way to force reform is to allow interest rates to reflect credit risks.
For China, whose net international investment
position at the end of last year was a surplus of
US$1.8 trillion , or 17% of GDP, it will be possible to
implement internal debt restructuring through
debt/equity swaps at the project level. Far-reaching governance and structural reforms in the state
and private sectors should follow.
According to the Chinese Academy of Social Scienc-
es, the central and local governments’ net assets
amounted to RMB93 trillion, or 164% of GDP, at the
end of 2013. Because SOEs and local governments
accounted for more than half of the credit issued
through the banking system, proper debt restructuring of state-owned assets would strengthen the
projects they were funding, by allowing private or
professional management teams to improve overall returns.
Such reforms are crucial, because, ultimately, escaping the debt-deflation trap will require China to
rejuvenate total factor productivity — an effort that
the private sector is better equipped to lead. As the
Scandinavian experience has shown, state ownership need not be an obstacle to productivity growth,
provided that public assets are professionally and
transparently managed, for example, by placing
them in the portfolios of pension funds.
The advanced countries have fallen into the
debt-deflation trap because they were unwilling to
accept the political pain of real-sector restructuring,
relying instead on financial engineering and loose
monetary and fiscal policies. Here, China’s one-party system provides a clear advantage: the country’s
leaders can take politically painful decisions without
worrying about the next election. One hopes that

total dominance in both central banking
and academic economics.
That brings us back to recent financial
events. The inflation-targeting models used
by the Fed (and other central banks and
official institutions like the International
Monetary Fund) all assume the existence of
some predetermined limit to non-inflationary unemployment. The Fed’s latest model
estimates this NAIRU to be 4.9% to 5.2%.
And that is why so many economists and
market participants were shocked by Yellen’s apparent complacency. With US unemployment now at 5.1%, standard monetary
theory dictates that interest rates must be
raised urgently. Otherwise, either a disastrous inflationary blowout will inevitably
follow, or the body of economic theory that
has dominated a generation of policy and
academic thinking since Friedman’s paper
on “rational” expectations and “natural”
unemployment will turn out to be completely wrong.
What, then, should we conclude from the
Fed’s decision not to raise interest rates?
One possible conclusion is banal. Because
the NAIRU is a purely theoretical construct,
the Fed’s economists can simply change
their estimates of this magic number. In
fact, the Fed has already cut its NAIRU estimate three times in the past two years.
But there may be a deeper reason for the
Fed’s forbearance. To judge by Yellen’s recent
speeches, the Fed may no longer believe in
any version of the “natural” unemployment
rate. Friedman’s assumptions of ever-accelerating inflation and irrationally “rational”
expectations that lead to single-minded
targeting of price stability remain embedded in official economic models like some
biblical creation myth. But the Fed, along
with almost all other central banks, appears
to have lost faith in that story.
Instead, central bankers now seem to be
implicitly (and perhaps even unconsciously)
returning to pre-monetarist views: Tradeoffs between inflation and unemployment
are real and can last for many years. Monetary policy should gradually recalibrate
the balance between these two economic
indicators as the business cycle proceeds.
When inflation is low, the top priority should
be to reduce unemployment to the lowest possible level; and there is no compelling reason for monetary policy to restrain
job creation or gross domestic production
growth until excessive inflation becomes
an imminent danger.
This does not imply permanent near-zero
US interest rates. The Fed will almost certainly start raising rates in December, but
monetary tightening will be much slower
than in previous economic cycles, and it will
be motivated by concerns about financial
stability, not inflation. As a result, fears —
bordering on panic in some emerging markets — about the impact of Fed tightening
on global economic conditions will probably
prove unjustified.
The bad news is that the vast majority
of market analysts, still clinging to the old
monetarist framework, will accuse the Fed
of “falling behind the curve” by letting US
unemployment decline too far and failing
to anticipate the threat of rising inflation.
The Fed should simply ignore such atavistic protests, as it rightly did last week.

A run good for the soul
Running to heal — that is what The Edge
Kuala Lumpur Rat Race 2015 is all about.
Be it for health, kinship or the soul,
Corporate Malaysia is being rallied to put
aside its concerns over the economy and
to do good for people with very little in
their lives.
Loosely based on the Carey Wall Street
Rat Race in New York, The Edge Kuala
Lumpur Rat Race 2015 will take place on
Tuesday, Oct 27.
Trinity strives for work-life balance
Half of the proceeds will be used to
fund English and financial literacy
programmes managed by The Edge
Education Foundation, while the balance
will be evenly distributed to selected
beneficiaries for educational and training
programmes.
The 16th edition of the Rat Race last year
saw RM1.844 million channelled to 12
beneficiaries.
So, it is time for corporate figures to don
their running shoes to raise funds for the
less fortunate.
For Trinity Group Bhd, this year’s race is a step towards attaining work-life balance and achieving non-work-related
success by its staff.
Taking part in his first Rat Race in the CEO category, Datuk
Andy Khoo Poh Chye is looking to reinforce the importance
of having “body, mind and spirit balance” for a happy and
healthy life.
“As I should lead by example, I will take this opportunity
to instil that thought in my colleagues. And for me, it is a good
start to stay fit!”
He believes that a good corporate social responsibility programme should tap into a company’s competency when developing initiatives that benefit society, should be focused with
clear objectives and be sustainable in the long run.
The group participated in a flood relief campaign in the
East Coast earlier this year through the Trinity Flood Relief
Effort programme. It converted its sales gallery into a temporary donation collection centre and assisted the transport of
goods to a nearby airbase for delivery.
“Knowing that we are running for a charitable cause is a
good motivator in itself, as each step I take along the route will
help secure a student’s future through The Edge Education
Foundation,” says Khoo.
Running together for the first time, Trinity’s five-member
team is training hard near their office in Bukit Jalil in preparation for the event.
The heat is on for Ireka
Vistage Malaysia makes its debut
It is a year of firsts for Vistage Malaysia at the The Edge Kuala
Lumpur Rat Race 2015 — it is making its debut in the race as
well as stepping up as a sponsor.
Vistage Malaysia supports diverse charitable activities,
such as Stop Hunger Now and Five Arts Centre’s youth programmes, and community projects. It has also conducted a
personal coaching programme for retrenched workers who
aspire to be entrepreneurs.
The company will send two teams to compete in the mixed
category, and its chairman and chief listener Richard Wong
and executive director Sherine Cheng will take part in the
CEO Race.
Although this will be their first race, Wong and Cheng do
not feel the pressure to win and are looking forward to the
event. They want to inspire more CEOs and companies to don
their running shoes for charity.
“It is also our way to be role models — to influence our
CEOs and key staff to support a worthy cause,” they say. “We
are walking the talk.”
They say their participation in the race reflects the top
management’s support for charitable work and promotion
of healthy living. “Fit and healthy people are naturally more
productive and they make better colleagues.”
Running in the race is a good way of involving sponsors
and donors on top of doling out cash, they add.
Vistage’s runners are preparing for the race by jogging and
running around a lake twice a week after work.
Ireka Corp Bhd CEO Monica Lai Voon Huey says the heat is on
at Rat Race this year as she seeks to repeat her achievement
in last year’s CEO Race, where she came in second.
She believes that taking part in the CEO Race is a chance to
“lead by example”. She adds that the event is a good idea that
combines charity and sport.
Ireka is no stranger to corporate responsibility programmes,
with IREKA CARES entering its fifth year. Each year, the programme selects and adopts a children’s home under one of its
five pillars — community, arts, recreation, environment and
sports (CARES). The company’s employees then run a series of
educational and learning programmes at the home throughout the year.
“We also make use of our property, IT and construction skills
to improve the living environment of the children, doing minor
upgrades and renovations at the home, as well as providing IT
support. To date, we have worked with three homes, namely
Lighthouse Bangsar, Rumah Hope and Rumah Kanak-Kanak
Angels,” Lai says.
Ireka is fielding a team of five runners in the mixed category. “This is the perfect way to exercise and raise funds for
worthwhile causes. I like the idea of running for a reason,”
says team leader Mohd Fakhzan.

Aberdeen: Only dream teams need apply
Aberdeen Asset Management Sdn Bhd has decided
that after seven years of taking part in the Rat Race,
it is time to up the ante.
After coming in last in the past seven years, CEO
Gerald Ambrose is determined to change the results
next month. “I have put up a poster above my PC that
says: ‘Failure is not an option. Win or die’,” he says.
He adds that Aberdeen is no stranger to charitable work, having cooked lunch for women, children
and orphans living with HIV/AIDS at charitable
foundation and halfway house Rumah Solehah.
But he adds, self-deprecatingly. “I’m not sure if
they want us to do it again!”
This year, Aberdeen’s team — comprising Jer-
the race. Joining the race allows me to experience
participation, and most importantly, it keeps me
healthy,” she says.
She would like to see more youngsters become
aware about charitable causes in the country.
Associate analyst Lee Kar Sheng says he is excited
about getting to know his colleagues better beyond
the office and work space, and hopes to build memories with them.
“Beyond the race and the prizes, I also wish to see
people getting involved in charitable work,” he says.
emy Michael Greenhall, Ngam Wai Shin, Tai Li
Yian, Evan Cheah Khiang Hin and Nadjlaa Zubri
— is taking its preparation to a whole new level
by not only going for group training sessions, but
also undergoing intensive psychological sessions
to raise their confidence.
The team has been rigorously following Lance
Armstrong’s macrobiotic diet before the race in
the past three years. “In addition, all Aberdeen staff
have to be able to run a mile in four minutes, spar
with Manny Pacquiao and climb Petronas Tower One
before they are shortlisted,” quips a team member.
“The Rat Race ensures that we remain superb
physical specimens,” he adds.

A new way of experiencing KL for MKH
runners
MKH Bhd will be fielding a mix of experienced and
fresh runners this year.
Last year’s race allowed runners to “experience”
Kuala Lumpur in a new way, according to deputy
director Datuk Kenneth Chen, who has been doing
cardio exercises to prepare for the event.
Manager Clement Keng,who took part in last year’s
run, remembers that he had to endure the heat and
humidity in the city centre, as well as a downpour.
Chen and Keng say the company is doing its
part in promoting a caring society and helping
the underprivileged. Keng sees the race as a great
event to meet new people while participating in a
healthy activity.

New media: Shaking things up
RAM looks at how Malaysia’s media landscape is being transformed by the internet
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The media landscape is constantly evolving,
stimulated by rapid technological advancement. In tandem with this, consumer habits
have been changing swiftly through the last
decade. However, given that Malaysia is a laggard in terms of transitioning to the digital
realm vis-à-vis its Western counterparts, the
acceleration towards new media platforms
has been more measured. As a result, traditional media platforms (TV, newspapers and
radio) — which account for close to 95% of the
overall advertising expenditure (adex) market
— dominate the advertising scene, and have
remained cornerstones for most advertisers.
Nevertheless, the rising popularity of new media has compelled advertisers to hedge their
adex through various new platforms.
In 2014, local media titans faced a tough year
as consumer sentiment was weighed down by
several air tragedies involving Malaysian carriers and the floods on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Based on RAM’s estimates, the
industry’s real adex for print, free-to-air (FTA)
and pay TV shrank around 6% in 2014, differing
from AGB Nielsen Media Research’s numbers
(which showed a growth of around 5%). We believe that Nielsen’s statistics may not mirror
the actual industry health as the published
numbers are based on gross official advertising
rates. These exclude heavy discounts offered
to advertisers, which can be as high as 90% of
the non-discounted rates.
The existing players have recently begun
expanding their footprints in the realm of new
media. All three media companies in RAM’s
rated universe (Star Media Group Bhd (STAR),
Media Prima Bhd, Media Chinese International
Limited (MCIL) are highly rated entities with
long-term ratings of AA1/Stable. However,with
the present shift in the industry, the players’
ability to adapt their business strategies to
the changing operating landscape will feature prominently in our rating assessment.
We caution that further deterioration in their
operational performances and cash flow will
put pressure on their ratings. The ratings will
also come under pressure if new media platforms rapidly gain relevance at the expense of
the traditional ones.
Internet revolution in global advertising
In the last decade, we have witnessed a transformation of the dissemination of news/content throughout the world.This evolution was
triggered by the rise of the internet, which
has dramatically affected traditional media
platforms such as newspapers and TV. These
platforms, particularly in Western countries,
have been forced to revolutionise their business models to incorporate the digital shift,
or face potential demise. Netflix, the largest
on-demand internet streaming platform,
predicts the demise of pay-TV in the next
two decades.
On the flip side, AT&T’s recent US$48.5 billion acquisition of DirecTV to form the world’s
largest pay-TV provider shows that pay-TV is
ready for a battle against encroaching competitors. As news/information is now freely
available online, some newspaper publishers
in Western countries have had to file for bankruptcy, shut down permanently or move on to
strictly online publications. The importance
of the internet to advertisers is acknowledged
by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in a recent
study, in which it projects that global internet advertising revenue will soar to US$239.87
billion by 2019, from US$135.42 billion in 2014
(compound annual growth rate [CAGR] of
12.1%); it is envisaged to overtake TV by 2019
as the largest advertising category.
way. Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting
(DTTB) has reportedly pumped RM1 billion to
RM1.5 billion into the infrastructure required
for digitalisation, and is keen to recoup its investment. This is evident from its high prices
for channels — which serve as a significant
entry barrier. Furthermore, regulatory hurdles
(stringent guidelines on content/advertising,
for example) weigh on potential new players.
Digitalisation will expand bandwidth capacity, thus adding more channels; this has fragmented the market shares of traditional FTA
TV heavyweights in some countries such as
Thailand. That said, no new FTA TV channel/
entrant has been announced, leaving an uncertain outlook for the FTA TV sector. Questions
also remain on the practicality of digitalisation for viewers (assuming most Malaysian
households already own Astro decoders and
Hypp TV Internet protocol television (IPTV)
boxes), whether they would be willing to own/
purchase another set-up box.

Malaysian media scene trails global peers
Given that Malaysia is a laggard in terms of transitioning to the digital realm vis-à-vis its Western
counterparts, the acceleration towards new media has been more measured. Traditional media
platforms which, according to Nielsen, account
for close to 95% of the overall adex market in Malaysia, dominate the advertising scene and have

claims that Malaysia’s internet advertising market has doubled since 2010,valued at US$125 million in 2014. Moving forward, it expects internet
adex to hit US$227 million by 2019,albeit a slower
growth than its regional peers’.
Expanding Internet penetration spurs
ascent of new media
In line with GDP growth and rapid urbanisation,
internet penetration in Malaysia has been increasing at a CAGR of 4.8% for the last five years,
reaching 70.4% as at end-March 2015. The relevance and advancement of new media sources in
the Malaysian market closely mirror the internet
penetration rate, broadband speed and tech savviness of the general population.In the medium
term,as the government maintains initiatives to
further improve internet penetration rates, we
expect new media platforms to continue gaining traction at the expense of traditional ones.
Changing consumer preferences to trigger

Given the technological advancements in the
last decade, consumer habits have been evolving and changing rapidly. Consumers now
prefer to view content and listen to music

parent, has made some headway via its enticing on-demand content services, coupled with
its effective bundling strategy, at times forcing consumers to take up its IPTV box. ABN,
however, faces operational challenges and a
limited content library.
Threat from illegal satellite dishes
and online platforms
In the past few years, a growing threat has
emerged from illegal satellite dishes and illegal
IPTV set-up boxes that are used to view online
content, especially from China and India. These
platforms, priced lower than the offerings of the
existing pay-TV providers, allow access to a slew
of channels, broadcasting live content and even
in HD. Over-the-top (OTT) content providers
such as Netflix,which is not officially available
in Malaysia, can be accessed via a proxy virtual
private network. Newly launched Malaysian
OTT provider, iflix, has rolled out a multitude
of content at an affordable price. With faster
broadband speeds, it is becoming increasingly
easier to stream TV channels over the internet.
Despite the heavy penalties imposed by the
MCMC, this appears to be a rampant practice.
NEWSPAPERS
Newspapers feel squeeze
as circulation shrinks
As in most developed countries, newspaper
sales continue to decline in Malaysia. As readers migrate to online platforms, such as social
media and news portals for news, the relevance
of newspapers is waning, as seen from the drop
in circulation numbers (negative CAGR of 4.1%
over the past three years).To arrest this decline,
publishers must innovate and slash costs to sustain their operations.Most have digitalised their
hard copies with STAR being the most aggressive player in the e-paper segment. To complement its paper, STAR has expanded its product
range by bundling its e-paper with other local
and regional dailies.To shore up revenue, Media
Prima’s The New Straits Times Press (NSTP) has
raised the cover prices of all the newspapers in
its stable by 20 sen to 50 sen per copy. In 2014,
STAR, NSTP and Utusan Malaysia (M) Bhd implemented employee separation schemes to
trim their costs. Other cost-cutting strategies
include reducing printed pages (NSTP and STAR).
Nevertheless, we expect circulation numbers
to continue falling as new media sources proliferate unabated.
RADIO
Fragmented, mature market
The radio industry is becoming increasingly
more fragmented, with listeners split among
the various vernacular stations and “genres”.
For the first time in 25 years, non-discounted
radio adex contracted 1.6% y-o-y in FY2014.
Radio adex growth had previously been supported by increasing listenership, a higher
proportion of urban listeners and a growing
number of radio stations. The decline in radio
adex in 2014 is attributable to keen competition from alternative sources of audio enter-
tainment such as online radios (iTunes) and
online playlists (Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal).
On the other hand, overall listenership — as
surveyed by Nielsen — has been improving. We
understand, however, that the survey does not
take into account some audio-surfing sources
such as online streaming; figures could therefore be understated.
MEDIA PLAYERS TRY GOING DIGITAL
Media boys penetrating digital realm
In line with the rising popularity of new media, the incumbent heavyweights have acknowledged the shift and have been rolling
out their own digital innovations. For example,
STAR launched an in-house video-content platform, Star TV, which is essentially a library of
content amassed from its various media segments. STAR has also introduced video content to its Star mobile application, to expand
its offerings. At the same time, Media Prima
has designed a mobile application, Zon Interaktif Pesona (better known as ZIP). Similar to
Star TV, ZIP houses news, videos and content
collated from all of Media Prima’s media platforms into a single library. MCIL, meanwhile,
seeks to enrich its digital content, social media
and short video segments (www.pocketimes.
my), to better capture readers. It recently established an e-commerce platform.To counter
the proliferation of new media streaming sites
and OTT providers, Astro has launched Astroon-the-go, which houses on-demand content.
All said, however, monetising the media players’ respective digital strategies may remain
challenging and they may not be able to fully
capture the digital migration of their existing
and previous consumers.
RELEVANCE OF TRADITIONAL
MEDIA IN THE MEDIUM TERM
Apart from the absence of non-traditional
advertising (election-related expenditure as
happened in 2013), the somber mood following
the air tragedies in March and July prompted
advertisers to hold back on their adex. The
adex contraction continued through 4Q2014,
which was marred by the crash of AirAsia flight
QZ8501 and the severe floods in the east coast
of Peninsular Malaysia.
Nielsen non-discounted adex numbers not
reflective of actual industry health
According to Nielsen, total adex continued to
increase in 2014, with a y-o-y growth of 7.9%.
Adex for print, FTA and pay-TV — which accounts for over 90% of total adex — is reported
to have expanded 4.9%. We believe these statistics may not mirror the actual health of the
industry. We note that the statistics computed
by Nielsen are based on gross official advertising rates — these exclude heavy discounts
offered to advertisers, which can be as high
as 90% of the non-discounted rates. Given the
poor market sentiment, the discounting factor had also widened, from an average of 76%
in 2013 to 78% in 2014.
Weak pre-GST spending in 1Q2015 sets stage
for another challenging year
We expect 2015 to be difficult for the media sector.
We had previously anticipated an improvement
in adex in 1Q2015,boosted by advertisers’ aggressive promotions in the lead-up to the Goods and
Services Tax (GST) implementation in April.Contrary to expectations,adex had remained subdued
as advertisers stayed cautious; this trend carried
through to the second quarter. We expect another
single-digit contraction in real adex this year.We
expect pressure on adex to only ease in 2H2016,as
consumer sentiment gradually improves.
Traditional platforms must innovate to
stay relevant
To shield itself from the effects of the burgeoning
popularity of new media, traditional platforms
must innovate extensively,closely tracking changing consumer preferences to stay relevant.They
will need to progressively evolve their businesses
to address the threat posed by new media sources.
Investment in content is critical to captivate and
retain audience attention.Within the traditional
sub-segments,competition is expected to remain
stiff as the players battle it out to attract advertisers through enticing, discounted bundled offers
that provide advertisers greater exposure across
the traditional platforms.
Tough times ahead
Cost rationalisation was a common theme for
most media players in 2014, signalling tough
times ahead for the sector. As a whole, the top
five media players recorded an 9.5% y-o-y decline
in operating profit before depreciation, interest
and tax (OPBDIT) to RM2.63 billion,after an average growth of around 8% between 2011 and 2013.
Excluding Astro, however, the sector’s OPBDIT
plunged by over 40% in 2014, despite cheaper
newsprint.While the aforesaid catastrophes last
year and one-off employee termination costs had
had a significant bearing on their numbers, the
major media players were also hit by the shift in
advertisers’ preference to digital platforms.
REVIEW OF 2014 & 2015 OUTLOOK
Astro stands out with strongly
distinctive content
Astro’s business profile is considered the most
resilient among the domestic media players.
Astro’s varied content has enabled it to build a
sizeable base of close to 4.5 million subscribers.
In the last five years, Astro has been charting
steady growth in its subscriber base and average rate per user, with a CAGR of 11% and 4%,
respectively. With subscription revenue accounting for over 80% of its top line, Astro relies
Adex affected by several catastrophes in 2014
In spite of the promising prospects vis-à-vis
the Visit Malaysia Year campaign and adexheavy sporting events (the Fifa World Cup
and the Asian Games), 2014 was a challenging year for media players. Based on RAM’s
estimates, the industry’s real adex for print,
FTA and pay-TV shrank around 6% in 2014.The
print segment suffered the most, in line with
the industry-wide decline in print circulation.
less on advertising revenue than its peers. It
currently commands 98% of the market’s payTV subscribers; this dominance is expected to
continue in the near to medium term.
Media Prima — diversified media base but
still relies on traditional platforms
Media Prima has the most diversified media
base, which enables it to offer multiple advertising platforms (FTA TV, print, radio, and
outdoor) to its clients. That said, we note that
the media sub-segments it operates in are still
primarily traditional platforms, which are increasingly being challenged by digital media.
This, along with weaker consumer sentiment,
had eroded Media Prima’s OPBDIT in FY2014;
excluding a one-off mutual separation scheme,
its OPBDIT declined 23.6% y-o-y.
STAR, MCIL and Utusan largely
confined to print media
While STAR depends much on its flagship
The Star daily, it has managed to carve a niche
in the digital space via its e-paper; e-paper
sales doubled to 80,000 copies in 2014. MCIL,
meanwhile, is formidable in the realm of Chinese newspapers. With four different Chinese
dailies, MCIL commands close to 90% of this
segment’s circulation in Peninsular Malaysia.
Elsewhere, Utusan is viewed as a laggard. Over
the longer term, its growth may be constrained
by its relatively narrow reader base (predominantly non-urban Malay readers).
Rated players have strong balance sheets
and cash flow
STAR (AA1/stable/P1), Media Prima (AA1/stable/P1) and MCIL (AA1/stable) boast strong
balance sheets, with net-cash positions. We
expect them to maintain minimal borrowings in the near to medium term, given their
conservative approach to capex and investment. By contrast, Astro’s (not rated) leverage
is deemed extremely high, with a net gearing
ratio of around three times. Its equity base is
weighed down by a negative capital-reorganisation reserve of RM5.47 billion from a restructuring exercise prior to its IPO in 2012. Notably,
these RAM-rated players’ cash flow debt coverage levels weakened in fiscal 2014, following
their poorer operating performance — albeit
still generally supportive of their respective
ratings. We expect these entities’ funds from
operations debt cover to range between 0.4
times and 0.6 times in fiscal 2015.
Industry-wide structural changes
may pressure ratings
With the present fundamental shift in the
industry, the players’ ability to adapt their
business strategies to the changing operating
landscape will feature prominently in our rating assessment.We caution that further deterioration in their operational performances and
cashflow will exert pressure on their ratings.
The ratings will also come under pressure if
new media platforms rapidly gain relevance

A
t least three carmakers — Honda,
Toyota and Mitsubishi — are expected to increase prices any time
now, with some looking to do so as
early as Oct 1. Other brands such as
Hyundai are said to have already
raised the prices of their models, including for
the Santa Fe and Elantra.
Second national car manufacturer, Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) — the
market leader with a 31% market share — said
earlier this month that it might increase prices as a buffer against the rising exchange rate.
The price hikes come at a time when the
automotive industry is grappling with a weakening ringgit, dampened economic conditions
and the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in April — all of which adversely
affected sales.
Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA)
president Datuk Aishah Ahmad, for one, says
price hikes are not necessarily the way to go.
“Increasing prices is not going to help boost
sales. On the contrary, it will worsen the situation as consumers are already tightening their
belts due to inflationary pressures. However,
there is a limit as to how much of the costs car
companies can afford to absorb due to forex
losses. It (increasing prices) is not an easy decision to make, and each company will have to
evaluate its own situation,” she tells The Edge.

on month to 53,452 units.
“The global economic fallout was the main
contributing factor for the steep drop in sales.
The implementation of GST, tightening of credit
by the central bank and the poor performance
of the ringgit — all have affected demand in
domestic and export [markets] alike, ” says SM
Nasarudin SM Nasimuddin, joint group executive chairman of the Naza group, one of the
country’s biggest automotive players.
He is non-committal on when things will
make make a turn for the better. “With the
current market conditions, which may take a
while to recover, buyers are more careful about
their spending and prefer to hold on to their
cash,” he adds.
It is noteworthy that Naza Automotive Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, which assembles Peugeot
and Kia cars, was forced to lay off 255 workers
late last month.
Another indication of the bleak situation
was Sime Darby Motors Sdn Bhd scrapping
its plans for an initial public offering (IPO)
slated for this year, putting it off indefinitely,
ostensibly due to the weak market sentiment.
In August last year, Sime Darby was reported
to have appointed Morgan Stanley, CIMB Investment Bank, Maybank Investment Bank
and Deutsche Bank to manage the IPO, valued
at slightly less than RM1.8 billion.
dollar has strengthened considerably, resulting
in the ringgit losing close to a quarter of its value against the greenback since the beginning
of the year. The ringgit tested 4.40 to the US
dollar last Friday — the lowest level since 1998.
Likewise, the ringgit has shed about 15%
against the euro since the beginning of the
year, trading at 4.88 last Friday.
In a nutshell, the cost of doing business has
increased, impacting those who deal with fully
imported completely built-up units as well as
completely knocked down units with very low
local content. With rising costs, bottom lines
generally take a beating.

MAA was established in 1960 with the objective of developing and protecting the interests of its members, basically the automotive
players, and making representations to the

Aishah says, “Uncertainties about the Malaysian economy and the impact of other domestic issues, coupled with uncertainties in
the world economy, have dampened business
optimism. Consumers are getting very cautious about spending on big-ticket items such
as new motor vehicles, especially in the lower
and mid-range segments.”

Khor: After the
introduction
of GST, there
has been a
slowdown in new
car and used
car sales ... we
were adversely
impacted, but
now, things seem
to have picked up
[again]
one executive of a luxury brand says his company’s sales are down some 50%. Despite that,
he adds, not all is doom and gloom.
“It’s about marketing your product.Mercedes
and Honda seem to have done well despite the
dip, and some Perodua models, Proton Iriz, are
all right,” he says.
Datuk Tony Khor,president of the Federation
of Motor and Credit Companies Association of
Malaysia, concurs, saying the situation is not
as gloomy as painted.The federation represents
used car dealers.
“Malaysia is fundamentally strong. Lately,
after the introduction of GST, there has been
a slowdown in new car and used car sales ...
we were adversely impacted, but now, things
seem to have picked up [again],” he says. He
points to the better numbers from Mercedes
and Honda, among others (see table), as one
indication that it’s not all negative.
“The buying power and the strength are
there. Our per capita income is more than
US$10,000 per annum, but things are more
competitive now,” Khor says. The car companies, he says, have under their belts 8 to 12
models at any time, compared with the 1990s
when there were fewer companies, with each
having only three to four models.
In a nutshell, it would seem the consumer
is spoilt for choice.
Says Nasarudin, “The auto business is
cyclical — you have good and bad times. Naza
has been around for 40 years and had been
through these cycles. Unfortunately, this year,
our brands were impacted by a few factors such
as unfavourable forex and an ageing model line.”
Nasarudin, 32, is the son of the late motor
czar Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin SM Amin. To put
things in perspective, in the 19 years Naza has
been assembling and distributing Kia vehicles,
it has sold more than 250,000 of the marque’s

Malaysia a mature market
Mahaleel puts it succinctly, “Primarily, the
car industry is facing a demand issue, not a
supply issue. They (automotive players) have
made their sales projections based on an economic assumption of growth. So, the industry
is chasing a number.
“Fundamentally, on a global basis since 2008,
the world economy has slowed down with the
US meltdown due to subprime problems.This,
as we all know now, affected demand, including in Malaysia, and a drop in the prices of
goods, especially commodities such as crude
oil and palm oil, which Malaysia exports and
earns from.
“Coupled with the various measures the
government has implemented such as GST and
utilities increasing their prices, invariably the
end-retail prices for essential goods rose. This
has reduced substantially the average disposable income of consumers,” he explains.
Perhaps the writing is on the wall. In endJuly, MAA reduced its forecast TIV sales for the
year to 670,000 units from 680,000 previously.
At 670,000 units, sales this year would be 0.6%
higher than 2014’s TIV of 665,675 units.
But is even this target achievable?

vehicles. And in more recent years, it has sold
40,000 Peugeot vehicles.
Former Proton Holdings Bhd CEO Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel Tengku Ariff describes
the scenario of the automotive sector as an
overcrowding of players in a relatively small
market, compared with the likes of Japan and
South Korea.
“To many of these car players, Malaysia is a
very profitable market. You can trace this from
their market activities where huge discounts
[are given] to drive sales or their companies’
financial results,” he says.
A check on the Companies Commission
of Malaysia website shows that UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd, the 51:49 joint venture by
UMW Holdings Bhd and Toyota Motor Corp,
registered an after-tax profit of RM962.3 million on revenue of RM10.7 billion for the year
ended December 2014.
As at end-2014, the company had current
assets of almost RM3.3 billion, non-current
assets of RM982.5 million, short-term borrowings of RM1.4 billion and long-term debts of
RM30.5 million. UMW Toyota Motor had in
excess of RM2.7 billion in reserves.
Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd, which is 51% controlled by Japan’s Honda Motor Co Ltd, 34% by
DRB-Hicom Bhd and 15% by Oriental Holdings
Bhd, raked in RM135.7 million in after-tax

profit from almost RM4.7 billion in revenue
for its financial year ended March 2014. Honda
Malaysia paid out RM81.2 million in dividends
for the year in review.
Honda Malaysia had current assets of almost RM1.1 billion, non-current assets of
RM721.8 million, short-term debt commitments of RM898.6 million and long-term
borrowings of RM108.4 million as at endMarch 2014. The company also had reserves
of RM634.1 million.
Thus, it is no wonder that despite the dip in
sales, several companies are said to be looking
at expanding. Sources say Sime Darby Bhd is
looking at opening more showrooms for its
Range Rover and Jaguar marques in Johor Baru
and Penang. Volvo, meanwhile, is said to be
making preparations to have a bigger presence
in Asean, with Malaysia as its hub.
Other big players such as Toyota have already invested in infrastructure in Asean, and
are now looking at further strengthening their
footholds in the region.
Local market leader Perodua registered
an after-tax profit of RM509.9 million on revenue of RM8.7 billion for its financial year
ended December 2014. As at end-December
last year, the company had reserves of almost
RM3.2 billion. Perodua is 38% controlled by
UMW Holdings, 20% by MBM Resources Bhd,
For the year to August, new car sales stood at
434,282 units, 2.3% less than in the first eight
months of 2014, and only 62.8% of MAA’s forecast for this year.
TA Securities analyst Angeline Chin does
not “see any rerating catalyst for the sector”
and maintains her “underweight” call. Her
estimate is that 657,000 vehicles will be sold
in Malaysia this year, 1.9% less than MAA’s
forecast. BIMB Securities, meanwhile, pegs
TIV sales at 650,000 units.
Another point to note is that double-digit
growth numbers could be a thing of the past
as the market matures.
Mahaleel notes that the ratio of cars to population in Malaysia, at 1:3, is equivalent to that
of highly developed nations.
“Thus, to expect high growth rates at this
stage of the cycle is not possible. In fact, if we
don’t plan earlier, with new policies, the industry can and will face a decline,” he says.
A clear casualty of the decline in automotive
sales is diversified DRB-Hicom, which is also
involved in the property, defence and services
sector, among others.
For its first quarter of FY2016 ended June,
DRB-Hicom suffered a net loss of RM19.7 million from RM2.9 billion in revenue. In contrast to a year ago, it posted a net profit of
RM107.8 million from RM3.7 billion in sales. For
the current year’s first quarter, close to 76% of
the company’s revenue, or RM2.2 billion, was
from the automotive sector.
DRB-Hicom attributed its losses to “lower
sales by the automotive companies following
the initial impact Goods and Services Tax implementation”.
While DRB-Hicom’s main automotive outfit
is national carmaker Proton Holdings, it also
has a hand in the assembly and distribution
of Mercedes-Benz, Suzuki, Honda, Audi, MitE
subishi and Isuzu, among others.

cover story
The Proton conundrum
N
ational automaker Proton Holdings
Bhd should be announcing its results
for its financial year ended March
2015 within the next few days or by
end-September.
There was a time when the national carmaker’s results would generate interest and dominate discussions among corporate players and analysts. Back then, circa
2002, Proton’s market share of the total industry
volume was in excess of 60%.
In stark contrast, with the company no
longer a publicly traded counter and struggling to make ends meet with a market share
of less than 17%, the excitement is all but gone.
The last reported financials filed with the
Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) indicate that Proton suffered an after-tax loss of
RM821.4 million on the back of RM7.7 billion
in revenue in FY2013. As at end-March 2013,
the company had non-current assets of RM3.8
billion, current assets of RM3.5 billion, current
liabilities of RM3.5 billion and long-term debt
commitments of RM33 million.
Proton had yet to announce its FY2014 financials at press time. Judging by the dampened
economic climate — auto sales fell almost 9%
in August — the current financial year is likely to be challenging as well for the carmaker.
Nevertheless, firmly in Proton’s corner is
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who launched the
company during his tenure as prime minister.
He believes Proton could be a success story
with adequate government support.
Mahathir says Proton is struggling because of a lack
of government support
“Yes, I admit Proton is struggling now [but
it is] because of the lack of government support,” he said candidly in a recent interview
with The Edge TV.
He explained, “Because of the need to become very popular with consumers, the government opened the door to foreign imports,
and these imports come from countries which
closed their door to our exports. So, now, Proton has to compete against countries that are
producing 10 million cars per year. How do
you compete with them? The government is
actually acting against Proton. Not giving any
hope, support, at all.”
It seems it was difficult for Proton to venture into other countries such as South Korea,
Japan or even China, as they had protectionist
measures to safeguard their local industries.
“But there’s no more protection [for Proton]. Now, foreign cars are given exemptions.
If they don’t comply with our needs, they are
given exemptions.We have pointed out … there
are 70 cars [that are being] given exemptions
[but are] not complying with Malaysian requirements. But Proton does not get any exemptions,” said Mahathir.
To put things in perspective, Mahathir
played a key role in the formation of Proton
32 years ago and put in place measures such
as high taxes on imports to protect the national car. The government issued R&D grants
amounting to hundreds of million ringgit to
Proton. For instance, in the last financial results
— for the nine-month period ended December
2011 — announced before its privatisation, Proton said it had received a RM175 million R&D
grant in 2010.
Nevertheless,without Mahathir at the helm,
Proton has been ailing and sales numbers have
been dwindling.
In August, Proton sold only 9,040 cars. For
the first eight months of the year, it managed
to sell 70,113 cars, which is less than half of rival Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Kedua Sdn
Bhd’s 143,048. Honda, the top selling non-national car brand, sold 6,853 cars in August and
58,892 in the first eight months of the year.
Some Honda marques are assembled in
Pagoh, Melaka, under a collaboration between
Honda of Japan, Proton’s parent DRB-Hicom
Bhd and Oriental Holdings Bhd.
Mahathir laments, “Everything is opened up.
The government says we want a cheap car — and
foreign cars assembled in Malaysia are cheap.
“Do you know what it means to reduce the
sales of Proton? It means that people who started
engineering companies to supply components
to Proton,they’re suffering …About 200,000 people are suffering because of [the] government’s
policy to encourage imports and discourage local
industries,” he said in reference to the Proton
Vendor Development Programme.
The programme has been accused of producing auto parts manufacturers that make
substandard goods but which managed to
thrive because of strong political connections.
It is not known how the companies are faring
or whether they have improved.
Nevertheless, Mahathir said, “Malaysians
always expect a poor-quality car [to be] selling cheaply. That is not Proton anymore. I’m
excited about Proton. I think we can turn it
E
around.”

Mahathir at www.theedgemarkets.com
The merits of scrapping
W
ith traffic congestion in the
country seemingly getting
worse, and generally poor public transport systems, calls
for a scrapping policy are getting louder, especially from
the auto industry.
As at end-December 2013, Malaysia had a
total of 23.7 million registered vehicles — 11
million motorcycles, 10.5 million cars and 2.2
million commercial vehicles — which is a lot
for a population of about 30 million.
“We acknowledge that efforts have been
made to improve public transport, like the MRT
and LRT,” says Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) president Datuk Aishah Ahmad.
“However, the MRT and LRT lines are not extensive and would not be able to cover many
areas. Moreover, these projects are mostly confined to the Klang Valley. Hence, people will
continue to buy cars … it is no longer a luxury
item but a necessity for most of us,” she says.
In March 2009, as part of a RM60 billion
second economic stimulus package to help
Malaysia through the global economic crisis,
RM200 million was set aside as part of the Automotive Development Fund, which in turn,
introduced the scrapping of vehicles that were
more than 10 years old.
Under this plan, the government offered
a RM5,000 discount to car owners willing to
scrap their cars and acquire either a Proton or
Perodua vehicle. This was intended to stimulate car sales and take some of the older cars
off the roads to ease congestion.
According to the president of the Federation
of Motor and Credit Companies Association
of Malaysia (FMCCAM), Datuk Tony Khor, the
scrapping scheme was a success.
National automaker Proton Holdings Bhd
had in 2007 initiated a similar scheme, Proton
XChange, where cars over 10 years old could be
traded in for RM5,000 to get a new Proton car.
This was later merged with the government’s
scrapping initiative, which was however, discontinued in October 2010 after funds from
the government dried up.
Proton received a total of 25,862 applications
from March 10 to Oct 31 in 2009, fully utilising
the funds from the government. At RM5,000
per car, 40,000 cars could be scrapped with the
RM200 million budget.
Most auto players, not surprisingly, support scrapping, including SM Nasarudin SM
Nasimuddin, joint executive chairman of the
Naza group. “Scrapping is indeed key in any
developing or developed nation. It serves as a
catalyst for new car sales. I’m not a pessimist
but as long as global conditions don’t improve
and forex is against us, it will be challenging,”
he says of the current scenario.
So, the time could be right to introduce
scrapping.
Auto sales in August fell by close to 9% to
53,452 units, while 434,282 vehicles were sold
year to date — a drop of 10,268 automobiles,
or 2.3% less than the corresponding period
last year.
MAA has trimmed its total industry volume (TIV) forecast by 10,000 cars to 670,000.
Some analysts are less confident, seeing a TIV
of 650,000 units.
Khor of FMCCAM says he had proposed a
voluntary vehicle scrapping policy for cars
above 15 years old, with the government and
manufacturer to offer RM5,000 as an incentive
for a trade-in for all CKD (completely knocked
down) cars.To date, there has been no response,
he says.
The MAA too had “proposed many times to
Most auto players support a scrapping policy for old
cars, which is practised in many mature markets
the government to introduce a long-term auto-scrapping scheme, for all makes and models”, says Aishah.
She says there should be a scheme for cars
above a certain age to be scrapped, with guidelines set by the government under a vehicle
scrapping policy.Before that can be done however, it is important to iron out all relevant issues,
such as logistics and documentation, to ensure
the scheme is acceptable to all stakeholders.
In a nutshell, scrapping provides the auto
industry with an exit strategy, and is something
that should have been done earlier — before
the industry was maturing.
Former Proton Holdings CEO Tengku Tan
Sri Mahaleel Tengku Ariff says, “If this is not
done, there could be serious repercussions, one
being too many cars chasing too few buyers.
Therefore, I would strongly suggest a policy
be developed to retire cars by an agreed crite-
ria, as is done in many mature markets. This
can take many forms and you can study how
some countries have done it. We don’t have to
reinvent the wheel.”
The auto sector is a multi-billion ringgit
industry, with thousands of jobs dependent on
it.As such, it would make sense for the government to assist in boosting local demand for cars.
Aishah says there are 40 brands of passenger
as well as commercial vehicles in the Malaysian
market, an indication of the strong growth of
the industry over the years. Increasing competition will drive car companies to offer greater
choices, better products and services to attract
consumers.
Government policies, especially taxes, affect the cost of a vehicle, especially excise
duty, which ranges from 65% to 105%, she says.
“We hope the government can consider reducing the excise duty or Goods and Services
Tax partially so as to help to boost demand for
new motor vehicles,” she says.
Nasarudin says apart from scrapping, there
are several other ways the government can
assist the industry.
“The lending criteria could be relaxed a
little, or perhaps pushing the energy-efficient
vehicle (EEV) agenda. The possibility of offering direct tax incentives to individuals and
corporations that purchase diesel and other
EEV vehicles could be considered ... such as
tax-free imports of diesel-powered vehicles. A
similar measure was accorded to hybrid cars
a few years ago,” he says.
Khor suggests that the government urge
financial institutions to be more flexible on
loan approvals. “Used car loan applications
have a 50% rejection rate, and new cars, 47%. If
the banks can be a little more flexible, it will
E
help us,” he says.

experience and establishment. They must
also have a valid Grade G7 licence specialising in CE01 and CE02 — road and pavement
construction and bridge construction respectively — from the Construction Industry Development Board.
In addition, they need to have experience in
the construction of elevated roads and bridges, and a strong financial background and capacity to undertake the project.Applicants are
also required to state their technical capacity,
including equipment and personnel.
“An applicant’s financial capacity will be
judged on the basis of its net worth, working
capital, value of the unfinished portion of its
current contracts and current credit resources,” the documents state.
The pre-qualification submission closed
on Sept 17.
The five companies are no strangers to
construction of roads and bridges locally and
abroad.
For instance, UEM Group has had a long history in roadworks. It constructed the 846km
North-South Expressway and the 44km Malaysia-Singapore Second Link, among others.
IJM (fundamental: 1.30; valuation: 0.80),
which is sitting on cash and cash equivalents
of RM1.98 billion, built the Bangsar linkages in
Kuala Lumpur and the Butterworth Outer Ring
Road in Penang. It had non-current assets of
RM8.72 billion and current assets of RM11.36
billion as at June 30.
Mudajaya (fundamental: 0.35; valuation:
0.90), which had cash and cash equivalents of
RM120.69 million and total assets of RM2.09
billion as at June 30, 2015, built the Pusa Sessang
Coastal Road in Sarawak and the entrance and
exit road for the Lebuhraya Utama Selatan to
Gombak, Selangor. It also built two four-lane
highways in India.
MRCB (fundamental: 1.30; valuation: 2) built
the 8.1km Eastern Dispersal Link Expressway
in Johor and the 18km Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway. It had cash of RM321.14 million and
total assets of RM6.87 billion as at June 30, 2015.
Sunway (fundamental: 1.50; valuation: 1.80)
built the RM1.04 billion Kajang Traffic Dispersal
Ring Road, the Kajang-SILK Highway and the
country’s first elevated Bus Rapid Transit line.
It is sitting on a cash pile of RM1.6 billion and
has total assets worth RM13.78 billion.
In comparison, Prolintas registered a net
loss of RM48 million on the back of RM152.3
million in revenue for its financial year ended December 2013. It had non-current assets
of more than RM2 billion and current assets
of RM266.8 million. It also had long-term debt
commitments of just over RM2 billion and
short-term borrowings of RM140.8 million. It is
noteworthy that Prolintas had negative reserves
of RM247.3 million as at end-December 2013.
DASH, estimated to cost RM4.2 billion,
will see a 20.1km three-lane dual carriageway
traversing from Puncak Perdana near Universiti
Teknologi Mara to Damansara Perdana. It will
have 13 interchanges and three toll plazas, and
85% of the main alignment will be elevated.
The RM5.3 billion SUKE stretches 31.8km,
from the Shah Alam Expressway in Bukit Jalil to the Middle Ring Road 2 in Ulu Kelang.
The three-lane dual carriageway will have
three toll plazas, and 90% of its length will
be elevated.
Prolintas is currently operating three highways — the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated
Highway, Guthrie Corridor Expressway and
Lebuhraya Kemuning-Shah Alam.
The pre-qualifying documents were issued
just after the Selangor government agreed to
include DASH’s alignment into the Petaling
Jaya City Plan 2 in June following three years
of objection by people living near the proposed
expressway.
SUKE also has had its fair share of objection
by residents in the Klang Valley, but thus far it
is not certain if it is included in the city plan.
Both expressways, which were mooted by the
federal government in 2011, are expected to
commence construction in the first quarter
E
of next year.

In financial year ended Jan 31,
2015 (FY2015), Astro saw revenue
grow 9% to RM5.23 billion, and net
profit by 16% to RM519 million. Advertising expenditure (adex) growth
was almost flat at 1%, from RM582
million to RM589 million, of which
54% was contributed by TV and 44%
from radio.
For 1HFY2016, the group generated net profit of RM305 million,
on revenue of RM2.69 billion. Adex
registered growth of 5% to RM305
million, underpinned by higher TV
viewership share, radio listenership and growing interest in digital
platforms.
As at 1HFY2016, Astro had a 65%
household penetration rate, or 4.6
million households — 50% from
its pay-TV service and 15% from its
subscription-free satellite service,
dubbed NJOI.
“We are well on-track to achieve
85%[household penetration] in a couple of years. Within that framework,
55% to 60% will be coming from payTV, and the balance (25% to 30%) from
NJOI. That mix is probably a right
mix,” says Rohana.

that the heavy capital expenditure
and expensive part of reinvestment
on infrastructure have all been done.
In other words, shareholders can
expect decent dividends going forward.
“Three years ago, when we went
for listing, we painted a picture of a
growth story. We want to make sure
that we have the new technology
that can deal with home, mobility
and interactive platforms. Now, the
whole investment phase is pretty
much over,” she says.
Astro adopts a progressive dividend policy and continues to be
highly cash generative. In FY2015,
the company declared a dividend
per share of 11 sen, representing
a payout ratio of 110% or dividend
yield of 3.8% based on last Friday’s
closing of RM2.88.
Astro, one of the companies on
the FBM KLCI, has fallen 4.95% year
to date, for a market capitalisation
of RM14.98 billion as at last Friday.
The stock is currently trading at a
trailing 12 months price-earnings
ratio (PER) of 27 times and price-tobook value of 23 times.
A quick check on Bloomberg also
shows that Astro is now trading at an
estimated PER of 23.5 times. It has a
potential upside of 20%, against its
consensus target price of RM3.45.
Most research houses that track Astro,including Nomura,HSBC and UBS,
have a “buy” call on the stock.UOB Kay
Hian and Goldman Sachs recommend
“hold” on Astro, while KAF Seagroatt

An edge over the rest
TUMI’s 1975 collection
All-new Taylor Swift Keds
Samsung’s newest release — the Galaxy S6 edge+ — blends
form and function with industry leading features: a dual-edge
front display coupled with the best screen technology, the most
advanced camera and an incredibly powerful processor.
It features a 5.7in Quad HD Super AMOLED display and
fast wired and wireless charging technology, with a full charge
ensured within just 90 minutes. The Galaxy S6 edge+ comes
with an increased 4GB RAM and is offered at the recommended
retail price of RM3,099.
Founded by Charlie Clifford, TUMI started life in 1975 as an
importer of leather goods from South America to the US. Its
vision was to revolutionise travel with stylish, functional and
durable bags and accessories.
Each piece of the 1975 collection, which marks TUMI’s 40th
anniversary, is made from natural, full-grain cowhide leather
similar to the variety TUMI originally imported. Its signature
ballistic nylon, which put TUMI on the map in 1983 as the first
brand to pioneer the use of military-grade ballistic nylon in its
travel bags, also features in the collection. The brand now holds
over 325 design and utility patents.
Keds has released a new collection of limited edition sneakers
in conjunction with Taylor Swift’s The 1989 World Tour. To
commemorate the singer’s tour stops in North America, Europe,
and Japan, Keds is releasing three different styles of the Tour
Shoe that feature the names of the cities the tour is stopping at
in a neon sign design with pops of electric colour against a navy
background.
Two other designs also feature in the collection: the 1989
Champion and 1989 Double Decker Slip-On. Finishing touches
for all styles include laces and trim in coordinating colours, and a
collectible charm.
Take a stylish walk
For BONIA’s Spring/Summer 2015 footwear collection, creativity and comfort go
hand in hand to create city sophistication.
The stylish and sporty sneaker is made of luxurious sheep leather and
BONIA’s signature outsole. Its soft texture ensures optimum comfort, with a pure
snow white base matched with muted brown and grey stripes on the top for an
understated rugged urban vibe.
Cutting-edge wrist candy
Rado pays homage to its Swiss roots with a new range of timepieces in chocolate brown high-tech ceramic
that evokes the artistry and craftsmanship of Switzerland’s famed Maîtres Chocolatiers. The three cocoacoloured models — the HyperChrome Automatic, HyperChrome Automatic Chronograph Tachymeter and
Limited Edition HyperChrome Automatic Diamonds — are crafted in a luminous earthen hue paired with rosegold-coloured accents and come in three sizes.
The chocolate ceramic adapts to changes in the lighting conditions, transitioning from sweet and light to
velvety and dark, just like the Swiss confections that inspired it. The ceramic material is lightweight and scratch
resistant.
