SINGAPORE: The new head of Singapore Exchange Ltd (SGX), which


was hit hard in its derivatives trading by Chinas economic slowdown,
could face his toughest questions
yet at an annual shareholders meeting today as pressure mounts to find
new sources of revenue.
Trading in one of the exchanges
key futures contracts for Chinese
shares has slumped by nearly
from a record high hit in early July,
Thomson Reuters data shows, at a
time when its derivatives business
has been growing and contributes
a rising share of its revenue.
Singapore and other exchanges will have to do some serious
thinking and look at other sources to boost revenues as offshore
China-focused derivatives have
had their day in the sun, said a
derivatives strategist at a US bank
in Hong Kong.
Chief executive Loh Boon Chye,
known for his close ties with financial institutions at home,

took the helm at the Singapore


exchange in mid-July from Magnus
Bocker, who over five years built
the derivatives business into the
main source of revenue for the
exchange.
In the run-up to a July stock
market crash in China, the exchange had benefited from growing demand for futures and options contracts covering China
and other Asian economies. Chinas decision to restrict trading of
onshore future contracts following
a market rout drove additional
business to Singapore, where the
volume of trading in China-linked
futures rose to record highs.
But that trend is already fading
as investors become increasingly
concerned about Chinas economic outlook.
Trading in the Singapore-listed FTSE China A50 front-month
futures, a proxy for Chinas main
CSI300 share index, peaked at a
record 4.1 million contracts in

the first week of July, only to collapse to around 1.1 million as of


last week, as investors become
increasingly concerned about the
Chinese economy.
Stock listings are also anaemic.
Singapore equity offerings have
fallen 65% so far in 2015 and totalled just US$1.9 billion (RM8.15
billion), on track to be the lowest
nine-month period since 2003,
data showed. So far this year, there
hasnt been a single initial public
offering (IPO) on Singapores main
board. Hong Kong, in contrast, attracted a near record number of
IPOs in the run-up to the Chinese
market crash.
The Singapore exchange is relying increasingly on its derivatives
revenue, which soared 42% in the
year to end-June and accounted
for 38% of total revenue, against
30% the previous year. Revenues
from its securities business fell
8% and made up 27% of the total. Reuters

Volkswagen denies ouster report


FRANKFURT: Volkswagen denied
a media report that said chief executive officer (CEO) Martin Winterkorn was to be replaced amid an
emissions scandal that has rocked
the company.
Nonsense, a spokesman at
the companys headquarters in
Wolfsburg said yesterday when
asked whether the report by German daily Tagesspiegel was true.
Europes biggest automaker could face penalties of up to
US$18 billion (RM77.22 billion) in

action lawsuits from buyers and
damage to its reputation, with US
regulators alleging it misled them
for more than a year.
According to Tagesspiegel,

KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Prime

Zahid Hamidi warned social
media users and news portals
yesterday not to play with fire
when writing on issues concerning national security. He
said many issues on security
had been politicised, especially
those related to radicalisation,
extremism and terrorism. I have
noticed that there are efforts by
certain quarters, especially social media players, who are out
to incite racial tension. Its not
that I want to give a warning but
to remind everyone not to play
with fire because you will get
burnt ... I ask that social media
users follow the mainstream media which has journalistic ethics
and a better writing style, he
said when closing the Malaysian

Business schools see broadest increase in applications


NEW YORK: Traditional business
school programmes are experiencing the strongest level of interest
from US applicants since 2009, a
new report shows.
Fifty-nine per cent of US business
schools said applications to fulltime, two-year MBA programmes
from Americans increased over last
year, as reported in a survey of hundreds of programmes conducted
by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), the body

that administers the main business


school entrance exam.
Domestic candidates still make
up only 45% of the total applicant
pool for US business schools. The
majority of MBA programmes globally said that applications were up
year over year and were higher than
a decade ago. In a year in which
fewer people applied to law schools
than at any point in the last three
decades, business schools seem to
be an increasingly popular destina-

tion for career-minded professionals seeking a graduate education.


There is a cyclical trend in US
application volumes that mirrors
the economy, said Gregg Shoenfeld,
director of management education
research at GMAC. For example,
application volumes grew tremendously until the recession, and then
we saw a drop.
Shoenfeld said that domestic applications to US business
schools plummeted in the years

following the financial crisis.


In news that may disappoint
mid-career professionals, employers are increasingly resistant
to sending managers back to school
for an executive MBA, a condensed
version of the traditional business
masters programme that doesnt
require two years on campus.
In 2015, 41% of business schools
said interest in their executive MBA
programmes fell from the previous
year. Bloomberg

Update 2015 forum on The State of


the Malaysian Economy and Investment on Monday, Zeti acknowledged that besides global external
headwinds, the ringgit had also
been affected by domestic issues,
such as 1MDBs debt issue.
We take this opportunity to highlight that the value of 1MDBs assets
exceeds its debt. Furthermore, Tan
Sri Zeti will be aware that 1MDB has
consistently met, with no default, its
interest service and principal repayment obligations to both foreign and
domestic lenders, said 1MDB.
Historically, never once has one
company been linked in such a way
to the value of the ringgit. We trust
that the facts shared by 1MDB and
the immediate clarifications issued to
date will provide clarity and assurance
to all concerned parties, it added.
At the event, Zeti said the public,
which has many questions about the
issues surrounding 1MDB, deserves
to get their questions answered.
The ringgit has depreciated over
18% against the greenback. It is the
worst-performing Asian currency
this year. The local currency closed
0.75% lower at 4.3042 against the
US dollar yesterday.

In a separate filing, EcoWorld said

to obtain the planning permission
from Penang Development Corp
(PDC) for its proposed RM10 billion
Eco Marina development in Bandar
Cassia, Batu Kawan, Seberang Prai
Selatan, Penang.
It said the extension was pursuant
to the expiry of a six-month period
from the letter of award (LoA)
to obtain the planning permission
and its shareholders approval in an
extraordinary general meeting pursuant to the proposed Eco Marina
development on Saturday.
It said PDC had vide its letter dated Sept 17 received yesterday
agreed to extend the planning permission period for six months until
March 26, 2016, and the shareholder
approval period for three months
until Dec 26 this year.
Recall that EcoWorld announced
in April it had received the LoA from
PDC for the proposed 470-acre Eco
Marina development, which includes an 18-hole golf course.
The proposed projects GDV is
estimated at RM10 billion over a
development period of 10 years.

It is also looking at inviting
like-minded institutional, private

co-invest and fund Paragon Pinnacle, which will result in a potential
reduction of EcoWorlds stake in
Paragon Pinnacle.
This will bring a corresponding
reduction in its obligations to fund
the land buys, though it intends to
retain a minimum 30% stake in Paragon Pinnacle to ensure the group
enjoys a meaningful share of the
developments profits.
The first SPA was entered into
between Paragon Pinnacle and Mujur Zaman Sdn Bhd (MZSB) for the
proposed acquisition of 11 pieces of
land measuring about 1,107.3 acres
for RM578.81 million or RM12 per

KUALA LUMPUR: Eco World Development Group Bhd (EcoWorld) is


acquiring 26 pieces of leasehold land
in Kuala Selangor, with a collective
land size of 2,198.4 acres (889.66ha)
for RM1.181 billion cash.
It intends to develop the land parcels into a self-contained township,
with a potential gross development
value (GDV) of approximately RM15
billion, based on preliminary management estimates, according to its
filing with Bursa Malaysia.
Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Paragon Pinnacle Sdn Bhd, has signed
five separate conditional sale and
purchase agreements (SPAs) with
four vendors for the proposed acquisitions.
It expects the proposed acquisitions to be completed by the second
quarter of 2016.
The indicative market value of
the land parcels, as appraised by
Henry Butcher Malaysia Sdn Bhd,
is RM1.1896 billion. The purchase
price represents a 0.7% discount to
the market value of the land parcels,
said EcoWorld.
According to the property developer, the proposed development
is expected to be developed over a
15-year period.
Paragon Pinnacle is currently in the initial stages of development planning and as such, is unable to ascertain the expected costs
required for the development to be
undertaken on the land [parcels],
it added.
According to EcoWorld, the projects planned for the tracts are: a
mixed eco-township named Eco
Gardens (1,400 acres), integrated
and gated industrial hub Eco Business Park V (518 acres), and an affordable homes portion to be known
as Laman Indah, which will be built
on the remaining 280 acres of land.
EcoWorld said the proposed acquisitions would provide it with
sizeable tracts in the north-western
growth corridor of the Klang Valley,
enabling it to establish a dominant
presence in the area, with access to
a new market catchment to complement its strong township positioning in the south-western and
south-eastern corridors.
EcoWorld said the earnest deposit of 2% of the purchase consideration or RM23.63 million was funded,
via internal funds, while the balance
is expected to be funded through a
combination of internal funds, bank
borrowings and/or equity funding.
The actual amount required to
fund the proposed acquisitions can
only be determined later. The source
of such funding will be decided after

KUALA LUMPUR: 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) said yesterday


it was disappointed by Bank Negara
Malaysia governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti
Akhtar Azizs comments made on
Monday that the local currency would
recover once the issues relating to the
controversial strategic development
company are resolved.
It objected to Zeti singling out
1MDB as being responsible for the
ringgits weakness, saying it is confident that the ringgit will recover.
1MDB is disappointed that Tan
Sri Zeti appears to single out 1MDB
for the current weakness of the
ringgit, said 1MDB in a statement
yesterday.
This is despite the well-known
fact that the ringgit is one of many
currencies, including the Norwegian krone, the Australian dollar,
the Russian rouble and the Brazilian
real, for example, that have dropped
in value mainly due to the abrupt
fall in oil prices, expectations of rising US interest rates and concerns
[about an] economic slowdown in
emerging markets, it added.

Bank Negaras international


reserves up slightly to US$95.3b
BY ME E N A L A K S H A N A

KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara


Malaysias (BNM) international reserves has increased marginally by
0.63% to US$95.3 billion (RM360.1
billion) as at Sept 15, from US$94.7
billion on Aug 28.
This is the second consecutive
increase in international reserves
announced by the central bank since
June 30. The first increase was on Aug
28 the amount grew to US$94.7 billion from US$94.5 billion as at Aug 14.
Analysts said it is positive news,
and hopefully the amount would
stabilise from now.
In a statement yesterday, BNM
said the international reserves position as at Sept 15 is sufficient to
finance 7.3 months of retained imports and is 1.1 times short-term
external debt. Short-term external
debt refers to short-term offshore
borrowings, non-resident holdings
of short-term ringgit debt securities, non-resident deposits with the
banking system and other shortterm debts.
The central banks international
reserves had shrunk from US$116
billion as at end-2014 to a low of

US$94.5 billion the lowest level


since Sept 15, 2010.
Analysts have raised concerns
over the shrinking international
reserves, which dropped below
US$100 billion in July.
The ringgit has depreciated 23%
against the US dollar since the start
of this year, from 3.4973 to a low of
4.3393 on Sept 8. The local currency
closed at 4.3042 yesterday.
International reserves are one of
the economic indicators that rating
agencies closely monitor.
Fitch Ratings global head of sovereign and supranational group
James McCormack said one factor
that would prompt it to reassess
Malaysias sovereign rating is that
the possible external shocks from
the global economy might exert
pressure on international reserves.
While noting that the current
level of BNMs international reserves does not pose a major concern, McCormack said it is important to observe whether the trend
will continue to deteriorate.
McCornmack was speaking at an
economic conference organised by
the Performance Management and
Delivery Unit on Monday.

BY A DEL I NE PAUL RA J

KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Group


Holdings Bhd is expected to appoint
Rafe Haneef, who currently heads
HSBC Amanah Malaysia Bhd, as the
new chief executive officer (CEO) of
its Islamic banking arm CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd, sources said.
It is understood that Rafe has tendered his resignation, after almost
five years of helming the foreign
Islamic lender. Officials at HSBC
Malaysia could not immediately be
reached for comment.
CIMB Group is in the process
of seeking Bank Negara Malaysias
(BNM) nod for his appointment at
CIMB Islamic Bank. Its still in the
process of getting BNMs approval,
an industry source told The Edge
Financial Daily.
CIMB Islamic Bank has been
without a captain ever since
Badlisyah Abdul Ghani resigned
as its CEO and board member in
July, following an internal probe
into a controversial personal Facebook posting he made. In the posting, he made an incorrect analysis of documents used by the The
Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in one of
its articles relating to alleged fund

Rafe has led landmark sukuk


transactions for various governments.

transfers to Prime Minister Datuk


Seri Najib Razaks personal bank accounts. CIMB Group chairman Datuk Seri Nazir Razak said Badlisyah
had touched on a technical matter
on which he should not be commenting.
Badlisyahs resignation took effect Aug 15. CIMB Islamic Bank
then appointed Mohd Shafri Shahul Hamid as the person in charge
of the bank while it looked for a
new CEO.
Rafe, a Malaysian in his mid-40s,
is seen as a good catch for CIMB
Islamic Bank, given his strong credentials and reputation in the Islam-

ic banking industry. He has been


the CEO of HSBC Amanah since
November 2010, and was also the
managing director of HSBC Amanah Global Markets in Asia-Pacific.
He had led landmark sukuk
transactions for various governments including Malaysia, Qatar
and Indonesia as well as large
corporates such as Sime Darby Bhd,
Axiata and Emirates.
Before HSBC, he was the head of
Islamic banking for Citigroup Asia,
based in Kuala Lumpur. He had also
worked at ABN AMRO Bank NV in
Dubai, where he helped set up the
global Islamic finance department.
Prior to becoming a banker, Rafe, a
graduate of the International Islamic
University in Malaysia, had practiced law at home, specialising in
Islamic finance, before pursuing a
Masters at the Harvard Law School
in the United States where he then
qualified to the New York Bar.
Meanwhile, Badlisyah has refuted market talk that he is joining
Alkhair International Islamic Bank
Bhd (formerly known as Unicorn
International Islamic Bank). This
is not true. Im still exploring my
options, he told The Edge Financial
Daily when contacted.

AmInvest: KLCI to rebound

KUALA LUMPUR: AmFunds Management Bhd (AmInvest) expects the


local stock market to rebound, with
the FBM KLCI returning to the 1,700
level once the noise surrounding
domestic issues such as 1Malaysia

AmInvest chief investment officer

Assuming the analysts are correct as far as [corporate] earnings

1MDB seemed to be the key factor


affecting the KLCI and the ringgit.
Like the governor said, the faster we clear these issues, the better
it is [for the market]. 1MDB is the
key issue, suffice to say, because
it reaches and affects other issues
here, he said.
Wong is of the view that defending a weak currency by using foreign
reserves is a futile effort, adding
that the currency should be allowed
to bottom out by itself.
You can use the reserves to moderate the depreciation of a currency,
but at the end of the day its better
to let the currency find its own level, [and] boost competitiveness,
he said.
Wong believes that the ringgit
should be trading at stronger levels.
Once the uncertainties are cleared,
the risk premium for the currency
will be lower, which could strengthen the ringgit, he added.
According to Bloomberg data, the
ringgit closed down 0.75% to 4.3042
against the US dollar and 0.2% lower
at 3.04 against the Singapore dollar
yesterday.
Meanwhile, Wong said the external global outlook is not doing that
badly as the US economy recovers,
evident from the decent economic

numbers, while the worst of Chinas


slowdown is over.
The valuation of the US market
has come to a neutral position. There
are still some headwinds, so we can
see some earnings disappointment
going forward this year, but I dont
think it will be a disaster. It will still
be decent, he said.
For China, what the Li Keqiang
Index shows is that the worst is probably over. Its not that bad in China. I
think things have stabilised, and China definitely has enough firepower
to do what is necessary, he added.
On stock picks, Wong said AmInvest prefers dividend-yielding stocks
such as those in the telecommunication, utility and construction sectors
and deep value stocks, which have
exposure to the US dollar.
There are lots of niche construction companies that have won contracts, and these small- to medium-cap stocks have been sold down
unfairly. The deep value plays are all
the companies with US dollar exposure, as some of them are doing
exceptionally well, he said.
Wong added that investors
should also look at big-cap stocks
in view of the governments recent
move to inject RM20 billion into the
local stock market.

KESM sees stronger 4Q earnings,


plans three sen dividend
BY DA N IA L ID R A K I

KUALA LUMPUR: KESM Industries


Bhds net profit for the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2015 (4QFY15)
rose 56.4% to RM10.45 million or
24.3 sen per share compared with
RM6.68 million or 15.5 sen per share
a year ago, primarily due to foreign
currency translation income.
The period saw a foreign currency translation income of RM3.11
million compared with a loss of
RM7,000 in 4QFY14, its filing with
Bursa Malaysia yesterday showed.
The semiconductor device testing firms revenue for the period
was flattish at RM68.94 million
compared with RM68.65 million
in 4QFY14, with the marginal increase attributable to the appreciation of the US dollar against the
ringgit on US dollar-denominated
receivables.
KESM proposed a dividend payout of three sen per share, subject
to shareholders approval in its
forthcoming annual general meeting. For the cumulative 12 months
ended July 31, 2015 (FY15), net
profit jumped 56.5% to RM17.03
million or 39.6 sen per share from
RM10.88 million or 25.3 sen per
share in FY14.
Revenue for the period in-

creased to RM263.12 million from


RM254.37 million, primarily due
to higher demand for burn-in and
testing services.
In a statement, KESM executive chairman and chief executive officer Sam Lim said testing of
semiconductor chips is the groups
growth engine, and the bulk of its
expansion is testing devices for the
automotive market. More than
one billion units of automotive devices were shipped last year from
our factories in Malaysia and China
to our customers, who are leaders in this market segment, and in
support of this, KESM has invested
close to RM70 million in the newest
and most advanced range of burnin and test equipment, Lim said.
He added that KESM would
continue to focus on high-growth
opportunities in the semiconductor industry, which is forecasting
a 2.2% growth this year with revenues surpassing the US$300 billion
(RM1.29 trillion) mark. Demand
for intelligent cars with enhanced
features such as safety, connectivity and mobility requires increasing
volume of semiconductor chips
in each vehicle. Our customers
are rolling new innovative chips
to the market at a faster pace to
meet demand, Lim noted.

Property prices buoyed


by a number of factors
Panellists confident of industry market outlook as demand for housing is still strong
BY RAC H EL C H EW

PETALING JAYA: Industry players


foresee a future increase in property prices as incoming supply falls,
making it a good time to buy property.
I reckon supply [of residential]
will drop this year, even next year.
But I think property prices will start
to increase because we will see [a]
lack of supply in the future as developers are holding back launches,
said Zerin Properties group chief executive officer and founder Previndran Singhe.
Previndran was sharing his views
in a panel discussion themed Property Watch Buy, Sell or Hold? at
the CPA Congress 2015 yesterday.
Other panellists were immediate
past president of Real Estate and
Housing Developers Association
Datuk Seri Michael Yam and Bina
Puri Holdings Bhd group executive
director Matthew Tee Kai Woon.
The Edge Communications Sdn
Bhd and The Edge Property Sdn Bhd
managing director Au Foong Yee
was the moderator of the session.
According to Yam, location is no
longer the only consideration when
it comes to buying a property, but
timing as well, due to the changing
property landscape.
However, he is still confident of
the outlook on the property market because demand for housing
is still strong despite the discouraging market performance in the
first half of this year.
The slowdown is due to several
reasons such as the implementation
of the goods and services tax (GST),
poor market sentiment caused by

(From left) Au, Yam, Tee and Previndran at the panel discussion themed Property Watch Buy, Sell or Hold? during the CPA
Congress 2015 yesterday. Photo by Haris Hassan

a weakening ringgit and low commodity prices, as well as higher


construction costs. Most developers
are adopting a wait-and-see strategy, said Yam.
Tee concurred that property prices will not be going down anytime
soon because construction cost
continues to go up.
If you are hoping the property
prices are coming down soon, that
might just be a dream. Besides the
GST, manpower cost is moving up

now. The cost of hiring skilled Indonesian workers has increased by


30%. Not to forget the material cost
has also increased due to volatility
of the currency, he said, adding that
in the past, property prices in prime
locations almost never went down
even during economic slowdowns.
Previndran was of the view that
there are loads of property investment opportunities in the nation,
naming hotspots such as the Klang
Valley, Greater Kuala Lumpur,

Penang, Johor and Kota Kinabalu.


Yam also urged buyers to look for
hidden gems in the secondary market as more than half of residential
transactions were from this market.
CPA Congress is an annual flagship event by CPA Australia. This
years conference theme is Leadership, Strategy, Business. CPA Australia is one of the worlds largest

Westports:
Container hike
delayed again
to Nov 1
BY ME E N A L A K S H A N A

KUALA LUMPUR: There's another delay in the container tariff hike at Port Klang.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, Westports Holdings Bhd said the implementation of the container tariff hike
has been delayed for the second
time to Nov 1 this year instead
of Oct 1.
The Port Klang Authority has
issued a letter to inform Westports on the delay. However,
the regulator did not reveal the
reason for the second delay.
The implementation was first
scheduled for Sept 1. It was then
postponed to Oct 1.
The transport ministry on
Aug 5 approved a container tariff revision to be implemented
in two phases, with an average
increase of 15% each.
Phase one of the revision was
initially announced to be effective by Sept 1, and the second
hike would be implemented
three years later on Sept 1, 2018.
The revised tariff encompasses container terminal handling charges for import, export, transshipment, shifting
and storage charges for container, as well as handling charges
for heavy lift or uncontainerised cargo.
It was reported the last revision of the container tariff at
Port Klang was implemented
about 14 years ago.
The tariff hike is expected
to contribute to a 12% and 13%
increase in Westports earnings
for financial year 2016 forecast
(FY16F) and FY17F respectively,
according to a note by AmResearch Sdn Bhd on Aug 3.
Westports shares closed two
sen or 0.46% lower at RM4.30
yesterday, with a market capitalisation of RM14.63 billion.

Amendments to laws enhance SCs powers


BY DA N I A L I DRA KI

KUALA LUMPUR: Amendments


to two securities laws the Capital Markets and Services Act 2015
(CMSA) and the Securities Commission Act 2015 (SCMA) to further
enhance the regulation of the capital
markets came into force on Sept 15,
the Securities Commission Malaysia
(SC) said in a statement yesterday.
The amendments were made
to facilitate innovative fundraising
structures, enhance investor protection, clarify responsibilities of
issuers and advisers, as well as to
expand the scope of the SCs supervisory powers.
The CMSA amendment introduced a new recognised market
framework to facilitate the establishment of alternative trading platforms, including equity crowdfunding (ECF) platforms.
Under this framework, private

companies that are hosted on a registered ECF platform are provided a


safe harbour from provisions in the
Companies Act 1965, which prohibit private companies from offering
shares to members of the public.
The introduction of ECF is in line
with the SCs objective to promote
capital market inclusion and widen avenues for capital raising, the
SC said.
To ensure stability of the capital
market, the CMSA amendment also
provides the SC with the power to
transfer operations of Bursa Malaysias exchange and clearing house
to a statutory manager if there is a
threat of systemic risk.
This is a crisis management
measure to make sure that market
operations run accordingly, the SC
explained during a technical briefing yesterday.
To promote a more conducive
environment for the issuance and

subscription of corporate bonds,


the CMSA amendment has clarified the roles and responsibilities
of persons in charge of preparing
disclosure documents.
Persons responsible for preparing the content of disclosure documents are accountable for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of
information provided in disclosure
documents, the SC said during the
briefing.
It added that any document,
agreement or contract which seeks to
exclude this liability is void. Furthermore, there is a positive obligation
imposed on those who are aware of
a false or misleading statement in a
disclosure document, in respect of
debentures, to inform the SC.
Minority shareholder protection
in relation to takeover and merger transactions is further strengthened with the CMSA amendment,
in which the SC is now empowered

to appoint an independent adviser,


where the offeree fails to do so.
The amendments also expand the
types of administrative action that
can be taken by the SC for breaches
of takeover and merger provisions,
namely refusing to accept or consider any submission from an adviser
that has breached any provision of
securities laws.
The SC will also be able to require a licensed person, registered
person or capital market service
provider not to act or continue to
act for a person who has breached
any provision of securities laws, it
added.
The CMSA amendment also seeks
to preserve netting provisions of
market contracts and strengthen
crisis management of market institutions, such as exchanges and
clearing houses.
The SC explained that the SCMA
amendments were amended to align

securities laws with International


Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) principles.
Amendments to the SCMA included extending the audit oversight
boards (AOB) regulatory reach to
capital market institutions (such as
Bursa Malaysia and the Federation
of Investment Managers Malaysia,
unit trust and private retirement
schemes, and reporting accountants).
The Act further provides conditions for the AOB to share information or provide assistance to relevant authorities or relevant foreign
authorities, in addition to enabling
them to share its audit findings directly with portfolio investment entities and scheduled funds.
The SCs examination powers
have also been expanded to include
persons performing outsourced
functions for regulated entities, including branches and subsidiaries.

KUALA LUMPUR: Jaks Resources


Bhds joint-venture (JV) partner
China Power Engineering Consulting Group Co Ltd (CPECC) on
Sept 19 secured US$1.402 billion
(RM6.01 billion) financing for the
proposed construction of a power
plant (IPP) in Vietnam.
In a statement yesterday, Jaks
said the principal financiers for
the US$1.4 billion loan are Industrial and Commercial Bank of
China (ICBC), China Construction
Bank Corporation (CCB) and Export-Import Bank of China (Exim
Bank).
Subsequent to this financing

amount not exceeding US$1.4
billion, representing 75% of the
total project cost.

Jaks added that the IPP project


will be funded by 75% debt and 25%
equity.
Jaks received approval from
shareholders on Sept 15 to proceed with the proposed 50:50 JV
agreement between Jaks subsidiary Jaks Power Holding Ltd and
CPECC to invest in the IPP project
in Vietnam.
This is another key milestone
for Jaks. With the passing of shareholders resolution and signing of

We are also delighted to see
the support from our financiers,
ICBC, CCB and Exim Bank, which
certainly underscores the bankability of the IPP project in Vietnam,

Msia plans its third biggest Islamic bond


KUALA LUMPUR: Electricity company Jimah Power East Sdn Bhd
is pushing ahead with the nations
third-biggest sukuk sale even as
tensions over a donation probe
show no signs of abating.
The unit of state-owned utility
Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has
started marketing RM10 billion
of the notes despite an investigation into Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Najib Razaks bank accounts.
The bond sale, which will fund
the construction of a power plant
under the governments US$444
billion (RM1.9 trillion) development programme, is planned for
October, according to people familiar with the matter.
The company will have to offer
enticing yields to lure investors
amid a risk-off environment that
includes a slowing Chinese economy and the US Federal Reserve
(Fed) considering a rate increase,
according to Manulife Asset Management Services Bhd and Etiqa
Insurance & Takaful. Top-rated
TNB bought in July a 70% stake
in Jimah Power from state-owned
investment company 1Malaysia
Development Bhd (1MDB), while
Japans Mitsui & Co owns the rest.
Tenaga (TNB) may need to work
a little harder to get people to fill the
books, said Elsie Tham, a senior
fund manager at Manulife Asset,

which oversees more than US$1


billion and is considering buying
the sukuk at the right price. While
there is a pool of investors keen on
such paper, RM10 billion is huge.
Corporate Islamic debt sales
have declined 37% to RM31.1 billion in 2015 from a year earlier, the
least since 2010, data compiled by
Bloomberg show. Highway operator PLUS Bhd sold Malaysias biggest-ever sukuk of RM31 billion in
2012, beating the previous record
of RM12 billion by telecommunications company Binariang GSM
Sdn Bhd in 2007.
Jimah Powers syariah-compliant bonds will be offered in a range
of maturities. Chief financial officer
Fazlur Rahman Zainuddin said in
a Sept 14 email that he couldnt
make any comment on the planned
sale to finance the construction of
a 2,000 megawatt coal-fired power
facility in Negeri Sembilan.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has entered the fray
surrounding 1MDB by starting a
probe into allegations of offshore
money laundering by the company, according to a report on Sunday
in The Wall Street Journal, citing a
person familiar with the matter. It
comes as Switzerland, Hong Kong,
and Singapore have also launched
their own inquiries.
Malaysias ringgit is Asias

worst-performing currency this


year amid concern over 1MDBs
rising debt levels, among others.
While Malaysia has come out
quite well on compliance with
international standards on anti-money laundering, the Financial
Action Taskforce would like to see
more enforcement taking place,
central bank Governor Tan Sri Dr
Zeti Akhtar Aziz told a forum including investors and economists
in Kuala Lumpur on Monday.
In this day and age, it must
be noted that theres no place in
this planet that anyone can actually hide, because the world has
come together, Zeti said. They
will come together to track down
any irregular types of activities.
Some investors may opt for
Jimahs shorter-dated paper to
reduce exposure to the volatile
markets, driven by risks associated with the Fed, China, falling
commodities prices and the FBI
probe, said Fakrizzaki Ghazali, a
credit strategist at RHB Research
Institute Sdn Bhd.
Yields on the nations conventional corporate bonds rated AAlike Jimahs have climbed 13 basis
points to 5.52% from the years low
in July, according to a Bank Negara Malaysia Index. The company
may need to offer 130 to 140 basis
points more than similar govern-

ment debt, said Manulifes Tham,


who said the shortage of sukuk
will help bolster demand. Such a
spread would equate to as much
as 5.59% for a 10-year maturity.
Jimahs rating is deemed attractive as it is backed by strong
credit, said Norlia Mat Yusof, chief
investment officer at Etiqa Insurance & Takaful, a unit of Malaysias
biggest lender.
While there is a lack of supply
of good sukuk in the market, investors are equally cautious and
will demand better spreads due to
market uncertainties, Norlia said.
We would consider buying if the
pricing is attractive.
Jimahs power plant will cost
RM11.7 billion to build and is expected to commence operations
in 2019, according to a July statement from TNB. The company
has no debt outstanding as it was
a special entity formed in 2013 to
build the facility. Its parent last
tapped the local sukuk market in
January last year, selling 10-year
notes from a range of maturities
at a coupon of 5.06%.
Investors could be asking for a
bigger spread than normal given
its a jumbo-sized deal, which may
affect secondary-market liquidity,
but not so much because of the
credit quality, said RHB Researchs
Fakrizzaki. Bloomberg

KUALA LUMPUR: Ruark Properties Pty Ltd has rejected suggestions made by CME Group
Bhd that it had not complied
with the now-terminated joint
venture agreement (JVA).
Ruark No 11 Pty Ltd ATF the
Oasis Unit Trust (Ruark), together with Central Park (Qld) Pty
Ltd, entered into the JVA in August last year with CME, which
manufactures and sells firefighting equipment, to develop a hotel and apartment complex on
two adjacent blocks of land in
the city of Mandurah, Australia.
But CME (fundamental: 0.5;
valuation: 1.7) said in its filing
with Bursa Malaysia on Monday
that it had terminated the JVA on
the basis of Ruarks non-compliance with the JVA agreement.
CME also said it might continue the development alone or
with a new potential JV party.
In a statement yesterday, Ruark Properties denied it had continually not complied with the
JVA as alleged or that it had
not complied in any way.
It has been reported that
CME decided to terminate the
agreement, but the fact is that
Ruark terminated the agreement
with CME at 7.26am Brisbane
time on Monday, having afforded CME 30 days to remedy its
defaults.
CMEs lawyers reacted by
serving a termination letter of
their own later that same morning, said the Australian property
developer.
Ruark Properties said its staff
have worked for more than 2,800
hours on the development project, and that they are justifiably
proud of their professional planning, development and marketing work.
[We] always believed in
the potential of the project and
sought to make it a reality, and
it was with great regret that [we]
Ruark chose to terminate the
JVA, said Ruark Properties.
However, the property developer believed that was the only
course of action, after becoming
dissatisfied with CMEs response
to default notices.
The estimated gross development value of the project was
A$112 million (RM340.8 million), while its expected cost was
A$90.45 million, according to
CME last year
CME shares were up as
much as 8% in the morning
trade yesterday to 7 sen on
news of its axed JVA, with the
perception that the company
would have full control of its
Australian development sparking investor interest.
However, its share price retreated and closed unchanged at
6.5 sen, after 4.87 million shares
were traded, leaving it with a
market capitalisation of RM28.67
million.

ADB sees
slower growth
for Asia, China
in 2015, 2016
MANILA: Growth in developing Asia will likely be slower
than previously thought as a
slowdown in Chinas economy
hurts demand, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) said, and
urged policymakers in the region
to strengthen financial system
buffers against external shocks.
Developing Asia is now expected to grow 5.8% this year and 6%
in 2016, down from the ADBs July
forecast of 6.1% and 6.2% respectively, the bank said in its 2015 outlook update released yesterday.
The region, which groups 45
countries in the Asia-Pacific,
grew 6.2% in 2014.
The Manila-based lender also
cut its growth estimate for East
Asia to 6% for this year and next,
from its earlier forecast of 6.2%
for both years, with China expected to miss its growth target
of around 7% this year.
Growth in China is seen cooling to 6.8% this year from 7.3%
in 2014, and slow further to 6.7%
in 2016.
Fears of a China-led global
slowdown, which had sent global
stock markets tumbling, prompted the US Federal Reserve (Fed)
last week to hold off on raising
interest rates for the first time in
almost a decade.
The ADB said that the capital
outflows could accelerate ahead
of the Fed rate hike and urged
policymakers to strengthen financial systems in the region to
mitigate shocks.
Implementing macro-prudential policies and developing
local currency bond markets can
bolster financial system resilience and mitigate risks to borrowers, it said.
The ADB slashed its growth
forecast for South Asia to 6.9%
this year and 7.3% next year, compared with the 7.3% and 7.6%
estimates made in July.
Indias growth is seen weaker at 7.4% for this year and 7.8%
next year, compared with its July
forecasts of 7.8% and 8.2%.
Southeast Asias growth would
be at 4.4% this year, same as last
year and down from its July forecast of 4.6%, before accelerating
to 4.9% next year, the ADB said.
Inflation in the region in 2015
is now forecasted to be slightly
lower at 2.3%, compared with the
2.4% seen in July, before it bounces back to 3% in 2016. Reuters

Fima to raise plantation


profit contribution
As a way to lessen dependence on its core business of security document printing
BY CHEN SHAUA FU I

KUALA LUMPUR: Fima Corp Bhd


is looking to raise its plantation segments contribution to the groups
bottom line from 40% currently to
50% in five years, as a way to lessen
dependence on its core business of
security document printing, which
is facing limited growth.
In terms of revenue, plantation
makes up about 30% of the groups
total now, said Fima group managing
director Roslan Hamir. The remainder comes from security document
printing.
Eventually, our target is to reach
50:50 within five years 50% for
printing and 50% for plantation in
terms of bottom line, Roslan told
reporters after the groups annual
general meeting here yesterday.
He said the group has a total
plantable area of 2,800ha in Peninsular Malaysia, of which 200ha is
fully planted; the remaining 2,600ha
will be planted within the next three
years, for which it has allocated

Additionally, it has another
6,500ha of mature plantation in Indonesia. As of March 31, the yield of
the Indonesian plantation was 23.37
tonnes of palm oil per ha.
Roslan also said the group is always on the lookout for land acquisition opportunities in Malaysia. As of
March 31, the group had net cash of
RM172 million, with zero borrowings.

On the outlook for the financial


year 2016 (FY16), Roslan said the
group is cautiously optimistic
amid the more-challenging economic environment currently.
He expects growth for FY16 to be
flattish, as the production growth
of palm oil will be flat as most of its
trees are mature.
Meanwhile, Fima chief operating officer Nazaruddin Mohd Hadri
said prospects for the group will
look better in three years.
We have acquired land [so] we
are now working on the land ... In
three years, we will be harvesting.
I would say we will be better than
now in three years, Nazaruddin
said.
Although crude palm oil (CPO)
prices have been softening, Nazaruddin noted that the cost of producing a tonne of CPO is RM1,200.
Hence, as long as the CPO is quoted
above RM1,200, the group will be
making profit, he said.
As for its security document-printing segment, growth is

limited as security documents are


controlled items, so the volume of
orders is determined by its clients,
who are the governments, and is
premised on population growth. If
population grows, the volume will
increase, he added.
Presently, only 5% of the segments revenue is from the export
market, which the group said is difficult to expand due to stiff competition.
Its difficult [as] there are a lot of
big players out there. They have been
in the market for a long time and some
countries have their own state printer.
The margin is very small and the cost
of marketing is too high, he added.
On the weakening ringgit, Roslan
said it wont impact the group. Its
plantation segment contributes revenue in US dollars, while its security
document printing uses imported
inputs denominated in US dollar
and euro, so one offsets the other.
Fima shares closed unchanged
at RM2.32 yesterday, with a market
capitalisation of RM579.2 million.

Iris Corp expects to return to profit in FY16


BY M EENA LAKS HANA

KUALA LUMPUR: Iris Corp Bhd


expects to return to profit in its current financial year ending March
31, 2016 (FY16), after a single
year of losses, its group managing director Datuk Tan Say Jim
said, underpinned by its property development project in Papua
New Guinea, projects in its core
business of trusted identification division and income from
its waste-to-energy incinerator in
Phuket, Thailand.
The group slipped into the
red in FY15, posting a net loss
of RM20.59 million against a net
profit of RM23.29 million in FY14.
Revenue fell 1.55% to RM564.49
million from RM573.24 million
in FY14.
However, it swung back into
profit in the first financial quarter

ended June 30, 2015 (1QFY16), with


a net profit of RM693,000 compared
to a net loss of RM2.55 million a
year ago. This was despite revenue
falling 13.8% to RM109.7 million
in 1QFY16 from RM127.3 million
in 1QFY15.
Tan said construction of the
290-villa project in Papua New
Guinea, which has a gross development value of RM300 million,
is to start soon and is expected to
be completed in FY16.
We launched the housing project last year, but we did not begin
construction until we put the financing in place, which has been
done, he told reporters after the
groups annual general meeting
yesterday.
Malayan Banking Bhd has given
us a US$20 million (RM85.8 million)
[loan] facility, he added.
Tan also said the group had ten-

dered for an affordable housing


project in Putrajaya under its Koto
industrialised building systems
division.
We should be able to get some
news on the tender within two
months, he added.
For its trusted identification division, Tan said Iris had submitted
proposals to two Pacific Island nations and was expecting the results
in three months.
Tan is also of the view that Iris
stands to benefit from the current
weak ringgit, saying every 10% increase in the value of a foreign currency contributes to Iris bottom
line.
Our exports are either in US
dollar or euro, so it (weak ringgit)
is obviously good for us, he said.
For our trusted identification
division, more than half of our revenue comes from exports, he added.

Meanwhile, Iris saw its environment and renewable division record


higher revenue of RM11.2 million in
1QFY16 from RM9.4 million a year
ago, mainly due to its 700 tonneper-day waste-to-energy incinerator in Phuket.
The plant in Phuket will continue to contribute to the groups
earnings in FY16, said Tan.
However, the group noted that its
sustainable development division,
food and agro-technology division,
and Koto industrialised building
systems division remain challenging in FY16.
The three divisions recorded
combined revenue of RM14.4 million in 1QFY16 from RM24.6 million
in 1QFY15, due to the delay of letters of award for Rimbunan Kaseh
and Sentuhan Kasih programmes,
from state governments and Felda
respectively.

MMC to issue up to RM1.5b from sukuk for debt refinancing


BY DA N I A L I DRA KI

KUALA LUMPUR: MMC Corp Bhd


will issue up to RM1.5 billion in sukuk
murabahah programme, which will
be largely utilised to refinance the
conglomerates existing borrowings.
In a statement yesterday, Malaysian Rating Corp Bhd (Marc)
said it had assigned a rating of
AA-IS with a stable outlook to

MMCs proposed sukuk.


The rating considers MMCs
strong competitive position and
healthy operational track record of
its ports and energy concession assets as well as in engineering and
construction.
The rating also factors in the dividend-paying ability and track record
of its key subsidiaries and associates
to service the holding companys fi-

nancial obligations, said Marc.


Moderating the rating is the potential increase in debt at its subsidiary levels to finance ongoing capital
requirements and/or to undertake
investment activities, it said.
The stable outlook incorporates
our expectations that MMC would
maintain its credit metrics within its
current rating band. Any significant
increase in its leverage position as a

result of debt-funded acquisitions


could result in downward rating
pressure, Marc warned.
Marc noted that to date, MMCs
subsidiaries and associates have successfully raised funding without any
recourse to the holding company.
Subsidiaries accounted for 60%,
or RM4.3 billion, of the groups total
borrowings of RM7.1 billion [as] at
June 30, 2015, which translates to

a group debt-to-equity ratio of 0.74


times, it said.
The rating agency also said MMC
was expecting its dividend inflow to
increase going forward, largely supported by additional income from
its construction projects and Senai
Airport City (SAC) land sales.
It has to date sold approximately
243ha of SAC land for about RM850
million.

What are developments priced


in Bandar Kinrara?
Today, we continue our focus on Bandar Kinrara by looking at average
prices on a per square foot (psf) basis. Based on transactions analysed
by theedgeproperty.com, the combined average price of condominiums
and apartments in the area was RM309 psf in 3Q2014, up 23.4% y-y.
Up until recently, the landscape in Bandar Kinrara was fairly
homogenous, consisting primarily of low-cost apartments and flats.
In the 12 months to 3Q2014, the large majority (68.9%) of transactions
still fell within the RM201 RM400 psf range. In the same period, the
secondary market has yet to breach the RM600 psf level.
The most expensive addresses is The Zest, an integrated development,
with an average price of RM489 psf.
The next most expensive address is Sierra Residency, with an average
price at RM451 psf.
Seri Kasturi (RM363 psf) and Merak Apartment (RM344 psf) are next.
Both projects are located in Bandar Kinrara 3, are fairly aged and targeted
towards the low-to-middle income earners. Between them, Seri Kasturi
offers units spread out within many four-storey blocks arranged in a culde-sac. By comparison, the units at Merak Apartment are housed within
one block, albeit with more facilities.
The most affordable dwellings are led by Kenanga Apartment (RM124
psf), the Taman Puncak Kinrara flats (RM141 psf) and Kinrara Putri
Apartment (RM194 psf).

Whats hot in Bandar Kinrara?


Today, we look at price growth and indicative asking rental yields for
non-landed residences in Bandar Kinrara.
The property market here has clearly benefitted from the boom of
neighbouring townships such as Puchong and Bukit Jalil. Based on
analysis of transactions by theedgeproperty.com, average prices gained
23.4% y-y to RM309 per square root (psf) in 3Q2014. All non-landed
properties observed have charted positive growth in capital values.
In the 12 months to September 2014, Pangsapuri Suria and Seri Kasturi
appear to have outperformed in terms of capital growth. However, closer
observation reveal there were some unusually low transactions in the
base year, which have inflated subsequent capital gain calculations.
Properties in the mid-end segment seem to have appreciated the most. Sri
Teratai Apartment in Bandar Kinrara 3, Vista Lavender in Taman Kinrara
3, and Casa Riana in Puncak Jalil have each gained 24.7% y-y, 24% y-y and
23.9% y-y respectively. These are fairly old medium-cost apartments.
From observation of asking rentals as at June 2015, Suria Kinrara in Taman
Kinrara 2 appears to generate the highest yields at 6.3% per annum. Units in
this property are quite compact at 712 sq ft for a 3-bedroom configuration.
This translates into relatively high rental yields on a square foot basis.
The future LRT extension into Bandar Kinrara is set to transform the local
rental market. The Zest will have access to the Alam Sutera station while
the upcoming 8 Kinrara will be located close to the Kinrara BK5 station.
There is also a proposed future station at BK3 which will be in the vicinity
of Mayang Apartment, Sri Teratai and DCahaya Apartment.
The Analytics are based on the data available at the date of publication and may be subject to further revision as
and when more data is made available to us.

BP PLASTICS HOLDING BHD (+ve)


SHARES of Johor-based BP Plastics (Fundamental: 2.5/3, Valuation: 1.4/3) have risen by
69.8% to RM1.18 year to date. The company
is seen as a likely beneficiary of falling crude
oil prices which will translate into lower cost
of raw materials.
For 1HFY2015, revenue declined 9.4%
y-o-y to RM134 million, mainly due to lower export sales. Net profit, however, jumped
22.0% to RM7.8 million, boosted by lower
raw material costs and forex gains.
BP Plastics manufactures stretch films,
BP PLASTICS HOLDING BHD

shrink films and other polyethylene packaging films and bags.


Export markets accounted for some 78%
of sales in FY2014. In June, the company
successfully commissioned a new RM13.5
million stretch film machine that will give
it additional production capacity.
BP Plastics has a net cash position of
RM51.5 million and consistently pays dividends. Dividends year to date totalled 5 sen,
which includes a special dividend of 2 sen. This
translates into an above-market yield of 4.3%.

MIKRO MSC BHD


WE first featured Mikro (Fundamental: 3/3, Valuation: 2.1/3) on November 5, 2014 when its shares
were priced at 25 sen. It has since risen 32% to
33 sen, despite weakness in the broader market.
Mikro is a small, relatively unknown company listed on the ACE market with market capitalisation of just RM91 million. Furthermore,
few would categorise its business as exciting.
It develops and manufactures electrical
distribution products such as overcurrent and
earth fault relays, metering solutions and power
factor regulators. These are small but key components of a buildings integrated electrical
system. They monitor and prevent damage to
electrical equipment by isolating and tripping a
circuit breaker when electrical fault is detected.
Nevertheless, Mikro has delivered steady
earnings growth. Revenue grew from RM20.2
million to RM30.4 million from FYJune2010 to
FY2014 while net profit expanded from RM3.7
million to RM5.6 million. In the latest FY2015,
revenue was up 28.3% to RM39 million while
net profit increased 47.9% to RM8.3 million.

Notably, it has maintained high double-digit


net margins, ranging from 14%-21% in the past
six years. Domestic sales accounted for some
72% of sales, with the balance from export, including to Vietnam, Iran, and India.
The company has a debt-free balance sheet,
save for marginal bank overdrafts in FY2013. As
at end-June, the company had net cash of RM8.4
million about 9% of its market capitalisation.
Recently, Mikro proposed to acquire a
4,047m2 freehold industrial land in Klang,
together with attached buildings, for RM11.7
million. The company intends to consolidate
its entire operations under one roof.
To recap, its products are used in numerous high-profile developments, including the
KLIA 2 and Tropicana Medical Centre as well
as the MRT stations in Singapore and Doha
International Airport in Qatar.
The stock trades at a trailing 12-month
P/E of 11 times compared to growth of 47.9%.

Directionless for the next week


BY B ENN Y L EE

he FBM KLCI rose to a


month high last week
as it climbed above the
immediate resistance
level at 1,660 points.
The index went as high
as 1,692 points but was unable to
sustain after the ringgit started to
weaken again and crude oil prices
fell. The index bucked the regional market indices trend. The KLCI
declined 0.7% in a week to 1,635.37
points yesterday.
Trading volume declined as the
market started to be cautious after
a rally two weeks ago. The daily average volume in the past week was
2.1 billion shares compared with
2.3 billion shares two weeks ago.
Average trading volume, however,
increased from RM2.3 billion two
weeks ago to RM2.4 billion in the
past week. This shows that the market focus is only on higher priced
stocks.
Foreign institutions, which were
net sellers for many weeks, turned
net buyers from Monday to Friday last week. Net buying from foreign institutions was RM685 million
while net selling from local institutions and local retail was RM520.3
million and RM164.7 million respectively.
Decliners outpaced gainers four
to three in the KLCI. Top gainers
were SapuraKencana Petroleum
Bhd (+6.4% from last week), Genting Bhd (+4.0%) and IOI Properties Group Bhd (+2.1%). The top
three decliners were Genting Ma-

laysia Bhd (-8.8%), RHB Capital Bhd


(-3.9%) and CIMB Group Holdings
Bhd (-3.9%).
Markets in Asia rebounded but
the movement in the past week was
volatile and generally directionless.
Chinas Shanghai Stock Exchange
Composite Index rebounded and
increased 6% in a week to 3,186.32
points. Hong Kongs Hang Seng
Index increased 1.6% to 21,796.58
points. Singapores Straits Times
rose 0.9% to 2,868.47 points. Japans
Nikkei 225 index increased 0.2% to
18,070.21 points last Friday. The
market is closed for holidays from
Monday to today.

US and European markets were


mixed but generally bearish and the
markets fell in the past few days.
On Monday, the US Dow Jones
Industrial Average rose 0.8% in a
week to 16,510.19 points. Germanys DAX Index declined 1.8% to
9,948.51 points in a week and Londons FTSE 100 rose only 0.3% to
6,120.35 points.
The US dollar rebounded and
strengthened against major currencies. The US dollar index rose from
95.4 points a week ago to 96 points
on Monday. Despite the stronger
US dollar, the gold price rebounded. Comex gold rose 2.3% in a week

Globetronics to gain
from 3D imaging sensors
Globetronics Technology Bhd
(Sept 22, RM6.23)
Maintain buy with a higher target
price of RM7.65 from RM7.50:
Management gave an update on
the three key business divisions,
with a focus on the sensor division,
especially three-dimensional (3D)
imaging sensors.
We understand the next-gen
smartphone by Globetronics Technology Bhds 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,
vis-a-vis one proximity sensor per
smartphone currently.
At full production, 3D imaging
sensor is expected to overtake proximity sensor as the main revenue
contributor given its higher volume
as well as average selling price. We
believe there is growing excitement
in the 3D imaging sensor as it will be
used in a popular smartphone model.
For wearable sensors, the device is
relatively new in the market; hence

Globetronics has demonstrated its ability to secure contracts for new sensor products.

it could take some time for volume


to scale up meaningfully.
We trimmed financial year 2015
(FY15) earnings by 5% mainly because of weakness in the light-emitting diode division. But, we nudged
up FY16 and FY17 earnings by 2%
to 14% after raising revenue contribution from the sensor division
and imputing more favourable exchange rates.
Our target valuation multiple
is intact at 18 times, which is +1.5

standard deviation of Globetronicss


five-year historical price earnings
band. Globetronics will continue to
trade at a premium valuation given
its excellent execution track record
and strong growth visibility.
And, Globetronics has demonstrated its ability to secure contracts
for new sensor products, such as
wearable and 3D imaging sensors,
supported by its strong relationship
with the Swiss company. Alliance
DBS, Sept 22

to US$1,133.20 (RM4,861.42) an
ounce. WTI crude oil increased 5.9%
in a week to US$46.72 per barrel.
The price movement in the past
two weeks was directionless. Crude
palm oil on Bursa Malaysia continued to increase 1.7% in a week to
RM2,183 per tonne yesterday.
Technically, the KLCI is bullish
in the short term, above the 30day moving average. However, the
index is below the long-term 200day moving average and failed to
break above the Ichimoku Cloud
indicator. The Cloud is still narrow
and this indicator indicates that
the KLCI is expected to be direc-

tionless in a correction at least


for one more week as the Cloud
thickens again.
Momentum indicators like the
RSI and Momentum Oscillator
are declining, but still above their
mid-levels. The MACD indicator is
also above its moving average. This
indicates that the trend is still bullish
but the momentum is weakening.
Furthermore, the index is still above
the middle band of the Bollinger
Bands. However, the bands stopped
expanding and this shows that the
momentum is weakening.
The weak momentum shows
that the KLCI has been in a correction in the past week. It is currently
on a crucial support level for the
short term uptrend and a break
below the immediate support level at 1,620 points indicates that the
sentiment has turned bearish and
further downside is expected. The
index may fall to the next support
level at 1,570 points if the immediate
support level is broken. The market is expected to continue trading
sideways if the index is able to stay
above 1,620 points. As the ringgit
started to weaken again, it is probably time to look at export-oriented
companies.

Sunway Construction has potential


of winning project awards
Sunway Construction
Group Bhd
(Sept 22, RM1.17)
Upgrade to buy with a revised
target price (TP) of RM1.32 from
RM1.14: The government is expected to prioritise transport-led
initiatives under the ambit of the
National Key Results Area.
The objective is to solve the urban transport woes by connecting
all forms of urban transport network in a coherent transit-commute grid. Hence, the planned
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) projects
are slated to be rolled out expeditiously.

Sunway Construction is
equipped with core competencies
from its technical experiences of
building the Sunway BRT Corridor
with full compliance of international specifications, and turnkey
design and build of structures
with specific technical standards.
Together, these elements could
substantially uplift its potential
of winning project awards.
We upgrade our recommendation to buy with a revised TP
based on sum-of-parts valuation
and implied price-earnings ratio

Scomi Energy
transformed into
profit-making entity
Scomi Energy Services Bhd
(Sept 22, 27 sen)
Not rated with a fair value of 27
sen: Scomi Energy Services Bhd
(Scomies) has been transformed
into a profit-making entity after
undergoing a restructuring exercise
in 2012. Its share price climbed to
a high of RM1.17 in April last year,
riding on an oil and gas (O&G) sector boom. But following a plunge
in oil prices, the share price has
dwindled more than 75% from its
peak and recorded a year-to-date
loss of 53%, reflecting poor investment sentiment towards the drilling
subsegment. At the current valuation, we believe it is worth a second
look, given that its fundamentals
remain intact.
Scomies mainly supplies chemical products to shorten drilling
durations and rejuvenate wells,
offering products and services to
23 countries in Asia, the Middle
East, Africa and Europe.
As of the first quarter of financial year 2016 (1QFY16), Scomies
overseas contribution increased to
83% of its total revenue from 77%
recorded in FY14. Going forward,
we believe its well-diversified multiple-country strategy allows contributions from active markets, such
as Indonesia, India and the Middle
East, to offset the weaker markets,
including Malaysia.
Scomies aims to expand into
new types of products, such as production and completion chemicals.
We are guided that the Indonesian market alone is potentially
worth US$750 million (RM3.22 billion), in which Scomies provides a
combination of six solutions to cus-

tomers. We believe it stands a good


chance to secure more contracts via
relationships with existing clients.
As of 1QFY16, Scomies outstanding order book stood at RM3.9
billion. We came to understand that
the bidding market remains active
in spite of potential project delays.
Scomies bagged contracts worth
US$140 million in 1QFY16. It should
be able to secure at least US$60 million from pending bids to meet our
US$200 million contract replenishment assumption for FY16.
Petroliam Nasional Bhd has recently approved the revised field
development plan (FDP) for the
Ophir Oil Field. The revised FDP allows Scomies to operate the field at
a break-even level of US$55 per barrel and will be developed via three
production wells, a well head platform and a leased floating production storage and offloading vessel.
The management expects to hit
the first oil in July 2016 (2QFY17).
To recap, Scomies (30% interest)
together with Octanex Pte Ltd (50%)
and Vestigo Petroleum Sdn Bhd
(20%) secured a small field with a

FGVs Rajawali
acquisitions
appear on track
Felda Global Ventures
Holdings Bhd
(Sept 22, RM1.50)
Downgrade from hold to sell with
an unchanged target price (TP)
of RM1.32: The share price of Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd
(FGV) has rebounded, but we expect the impending completion
of Rajawali transactions to revive
related issues that triggered heavy
selling. A strong US dollar and equity market weakness have further
raised the implied premium to PT
Eagle High Plantation Tbks (PT
Eagle High) market price, enterprise value (EV) per planted ha,
net gearing and earnings per share
(EPS) dilution. We maintain our
forecasts and TP, but downgrade
FGV to sell on valuations.
Coinciding with the announcement of a RM20 billion stock market
stabilisation fund, FGVs share price
had rebounded 29.1% to RM1.64
on Sept 14.
The Rajawali acquisitions for
US$698 million (RM2.99 billion)
in cash and 95.4 million new FGV
shares appear on track for completion. FGV and the vendors aim
to sign the definitive documents

no later than Oct 31.


The proposed PT Eagle High
acquisition should help to expand
FGVs planted areas by 31% and
lower the overall average age profile
from around 15 years to 13 years.
However, related issues remain.
The implied premium to market
price has increased from around
72% then to 223%, following sharp
declines in the ringgit and rupiah.
The implied acquisition EV per
planted ha in ringgit terms has also
increased from around RM66,000
to RM74,000. Post acquisitions, we
expect its net debt-to-equity ratio
to increase to around 0.82 times.
We estimate the potential EPS
dilution at 19.6% in 2017 and 12.3%
in 2018. Lack of management control will continue to be a major
concern over an investment which
amounts to almost 48% of shareholders equity.
After the recent surge in its share
price, we downgrade our rating
on FGV from hold to sell. Key
upside factors include a significant rebound in CPO prices and
favourable adjustment to the acquisition considerations. Affin

IOI Corp least affected by weak CPO prices due to exposure to downstream segment
THE EDGE FILE PHOTO

IOI Corp Bhd


(Sept 22, RM3.95)
Maintain neutral with an unchanged target price (TP) of
RM4.07: We had a meeting with
IOI Corp Bhds management last
week and came away with some
positive news. 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 sum-of-parts-based TP.
Excluding the effects of El Nino,
the management is projecting a 5%
to 7% fresh fruit bunch production growth for financial year 2016
(FY16). The groups age profile is
about 13 years old (Malaysia: 13

Currently, about 20,000ha have


been planted with the new seedlings. The group will gradually replant about 6,000ha to 8,000ha per
annum in Malaysia with the new
seedlings.
Based on the latest audited re-

sults, excluding Islamic debt, its total debt over total assets was about
30%, which would enable the group
to qualify for the syariah-compliant list again.
The management guided about
RM350 million capital expenditure

for FY16, which would be mainly


used for infrastructure and new
planting activities. The construction
of a 100,000-tonne specialty oils
and fats plant in Xiamen, China,
has commenced and will be ready
by June 2016.
On the cost structure, it expects
to maintain its current cost of production of RM1,200 per tonne, and
the fertiliser cost for the first half of
FY16 has been locked in since the
beginning of this year.
The group is looking for land
bank opportunities in Indonesia,
given that it will complete its new
planting activities in the country by
next year. Apart from that, it is also
trying to search for strategic tie-ups
with local players in South America
and Russia for downstream ventures. PublicInvest Research,

with corruption involving the purchase of two plots of land and a
bungalow in Section 7, Shah Alam.
He was accused of obtaining
for himself and his wife, Datin Seri
Zahrah Kechik, the plots and the

house at No 8 and 10, Jalan Suasa


7/1L, in Shah Alam, from Ditamas
Sdn Bhd through one of its directors, Shamsuddin Hayroni.
He committed the offence at the
official residence of the Selangor
MB in Shah Alam on May 29, 2007.
The case was transferred from
the Sessions Court to the High
Court and in December 2011, Mohamad Khir was convicted and
sentenced to 12 months prison.
The trial court also ordered the
accused to forfeit ownership of
the property and hand it over to
the government.
The Court of Appeal upheld
Mohamad Khirs conviction.
Mohamad Khir is the second
Selangor MB to face corruption
charges after Datuk Harun Idris 40
years ago. The Malaysian Insider

Decision to sack Anina from Umno is final


KUALA LUMPUR: The sacking of
Anina Saadudin as an Umno member was final and cannot be brought
to the court, said Umno executive
secretary Datuk Ab Rauf Yusoh.
He said Anina did not have the
authority or locus standi to initiate
court action through a suit filed
on Aug 28.
The decision to sack the plaintiff
(Anina) by Umno was final, conclusive and cannot be taken to court,
in line with Section 18C of the Societies Act 1966, he said in a supporting affidavit in an application
to strike out a lawsuit filed by Anina
against him and Umno president
Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
The application was filed on
Monday. However, the documents
were only given to the media yesterday.
Section 18C of the Societies Act

1966 states that the decision of a political party shall be final and conclusive, and such decision cannot
be challenged, appealed against,
reviewed, quashed or called in
question in any court.
In the suit, Anina, among others,
was seeking to claim a portion of
the RM2.6 billion said to have been
donated to Najib by a friendly Middle Eastern nation to help Umno in
its 2013 election campaign.
Anina was also seeking an injunction to prevent the defendants
from taking disciplinary action
against her, pending the disposal
of the suit.
In the affidavit, Ab Rauf also
claimed that Anina had no locus
standi to file the suit as her membership in Umno was automatically terminated when she took
the party to court as provided by

The claim by the plaintiff was
embarrassing, petty and an abuse
of the court process where it was
filed with a hidden motive, he said.

Meanwhile, lawyer Nor Emilia


Mohd Iszeham, representing Najib
and Ab Rauf, told Bernama that the
court had set Oct 6 for case management of the application before
High Court judge Datuk Mohd Zaki
Abdul Wahab.
She said she had also filed an

for a stay of proceedings of several applications by Anina pending
the disposal of their application

Court adjourns leave-to-appeal hearing in civil suits


PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court
adjourned yesterday the hearing
of a leave-to-appeal application
by former attorney-general Tan
Sri Abdul Gani Patail and 10 others who are being sued for alleged
wrongful prosecution following the
death of a litigant.
Lawyer Tan Sri Cecil Abraham,
representing the applicants, told the
court that parties in the civil suits
had to be substituted following the
death of deputy public prosecutor
Anthony Kevin Morais, who was
one of the applicants in the leaveto-appeal application.
Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri
Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin, who

chaired the three-member panel,


then adjourned the hearing and
fixed Nov 24 for case management.
The panel, which also comprised
Federal Court judges Tan Sri Abdull
Hamid Embong and Tan Sri Ahmad
Maarop, also granted a stay of the
proceedings at the High Court.
Last Wednesday, Morais was
found dead, his body stuffed in cement in an oil drum, after he had
gone missing on Sept 4 while driving from his residence in Menara
Duta here to his office in Putrajaya.
Lawyer Rosli Dahlan filed a RM47
million suit against Abdul Gani and
10 others alleging that they conspired to arrest and charge him in

court for a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) case.


Meanwhile, former Bukit Aman
commercial crime investigation department director Datuk Ramli Yusuff
sued Abdul Gani and 11 others, seeking RM128.5 million in damages over
alleged malicious prosecution over
corruption charges.
The courts have cleared them
of the charges.
Rosli and Ramli had named Morais as one of the defendants in
their civil suits.
The other defendants included
former inspector-general of police
Tan Sri Musa Hassan, MACC, the
police, former head of appellate and

trial division at the Attorney-Generals Chambers Datuk Nordin Hassan


and several other MACC officers.
The applicants are seeking leave
of the Federal Court to appeal
against the Court of Appeal decision on April 1 rejecting their appeal to strike out the two civil suits.
In April last year, the High Court
dismissed their application to strike
out the suits by Rosli and Ramli,
saying the matter must go to trial.
Roslis counsel Cheetan Jetwani
told the court earlier that they were
agreeable to give time for the substitution, but objected to the application for a stay of the court proceedings. Bernama

Forming govt with support of only one race not possible


KUALA LUMPUR: No single party
can form the government by depending solely on the support of
one race, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin
said, at a time when Malaysia is facing increasing racial and religious
challenges.
The former deputy prime minister said this despite most political parties in the country being
race-based.
Any political party which aspires
to form the government must be
able to garner broad-based support
from all races.

The electoral system discourages political parties from pursuing extreme racial and religious interests.
It incentivises the moderates and
punishes the extremists, he said
in his speech at the International
Peace Conference in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Monday.
The content of his speech was
also uploaded on his Facebook page.
Muhyiddin, who was axed by
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib
Razak in a Cabinet reshuffle two
months ago, said because the electoral system incentivises the moder-

ates, Malaysian political parties have


over time moderated their position
on matters concerning racial and
religious interests.
He said those who questioned
the special position of the Malays and the natives of Sabah and
Sarawak do so at their own peril,
losing the majority support of the
electorates.
Likewise, political parties that
undermine the legitimate interests of the other races will risk
losing significant percentage of
votes in elections and will fail

to form the federal government.


In the end, most political parties become more compliant to the
constitutional framework that seeks
to balance racial interests, and in
so doing promote racial harmony,
political stability and national unity, he said.
The Umno deputy president said
the survival of political coalitions
and the maintenance of political
stability rest on the wisdom of leaders to gain the trust of his or her
own race, while at the same time,

Pakatan Harapan is
new opposition pact
Supports Anwar for PM should new coalition win next general election
BY KC N A ZA RI

SUBANG JAYA: Pakatan Harapan


is the name of the new opposition
pact consisting of PKR, DAP and
Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah),
opposition leader Datuk Seri Dr
Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (pic) announced yesterday.
From today (yesterday), Pakatan
Harapan will function as a political
pact that will defend the people in
facing Umno and Barisan Nasional
(BN), she said during a press conference in Subang Jaya, Selangor.
The three parties and representatives from non-governmental organisations held a roundtable to
discuss the oppositions future after
the death of Pakatan Rakyat.
Dr Wan Azizah also announced
that Pakatan Harapan had agreed

that de facto PKR leader Datuk Seri


Anwar Ibrahim was its candidate
for prime minister should the new
pact take over federal power in the
next general election due in 2018.
Anwar is serving a five-year prison term for sodomy, a charge which
he and opposition supporters said
was politically motivated.
The first thing to announce is
that Anwar will be prime minister if
Pakatan Harapan is able to win the
coming general election, Dr Wan
Azizah said.
Asked about PAS snubbing the
roundtable discussion yesterday
and the new opposition pact, the
PKR president said the party had
been invited but declined to attend.
Dr Wan Azizah, who is the Permatang Pauh member of parliament, said a committee consisting of

the secretary-general and other representatives of each party involved


in Pakatan Harapan would meet
soon to fine-tune common policies,
principles of cooperation and other
areas of mutual agreement.

PKR secretary-general Rafizi


Ramli, when asked by reporters
later, said Pakatan Harapan would
be different from the old pact, Pakatan, as there would now be written agreements that would bind all
three parties involved.
Rafizi said the document which
would spell out the terms of being
a member of the new pact would
have to be reviewed if any other
party wanted to join it.
Despite the fallout between PAS
and DAP, PKR has continued to leave
the door open to the Islamist party
to join the new pact.
PAS rejected the invitation on
grounds that it could not work with
DAP and traitors in reference
to its former members and leaders

Penang waiting for mass vaccination plan by global veterinary group


BY LOOI SUE-C HE RN

itam yesterday. Photo by Bernama

GEORGE TOWN: Penang is waiting


for the Worldwide Veterinary Services (WVS) to present its proposal and
layout plan for mass vaccination as
the state government comes under
pressure for mass culling stray dogs
in its bid to stem the spread of rabies.
State exco member for health Dr
Afif Bahardin said WVS, an international non-governmental organisation, is proposing mass vaccination
instead of culling strays, which has
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng under
heavy criticism.
Guan Eng is continuing to face
backlash from animal welfare groups
and animal lovers, including in social media, for stating that the killing
will continue in the interest of public
health and safety of pets.
We will have a follow-up meeting with WVS again. We had a fruitful
discussion. The state also gave WVS
geographical data like where rabies
had been detected.

We are talking to everyone; we


want to listen ... it is not that we are
just ignoring anyone who says there
are alternatives, Dr Afif told a press
conference yesterday at Lims office
in George Town.
Afif and other representatives
from the state government held a teleconference with WVS on Monday.
In Penang, only three cases of
dog bites tested positive for rabies.
The WVS is ready to supply 50,000
vaccines to Penang and can do so
by the end of the year, a coalition
of animal welfare groups Stop
Killing, Start Vaccinating said in
a statement yesterday.
The coalition said WVS chief executive officer Dr Luke Gamble, an
internationally-known British veterinary surgeon, had affirmed that the
WVS could immediately arrange for
the delivery of 50,000 vaccines and
necessary manpower to conduct a
mass vaccination programme in
Penang at the end of the year.
The group said the WVS would

also train local veterinary personnel


and volunteers on conducting the
programme as well as awareness
campaigns to educate the public.
However, even though they have
the vaccines ready and the manpower, they expect that they can
only arrive in Penang at the end of
the year because of the paperwork
and applications that needed to
be sorted out beforehand with the
federal authorities, especially the
Department of Veterinary Services
(DVS), the Health Ministry and the
Immigration Department.
The DVS has killed 342 strays so
far, at a cost of RM60 per dog, but
none of them has been confirmed
to have rabies yet. The department
has also vaccinated 292 dogs so far.
The DVS in Penang also received
reports of 36 dog bite cases (with 15
cases involving pets) as of Monday,
but state health director Datuk Dr
Zailan Adnan said the number had
gone up to 41 cases by midnight.

Baram dam,
Sarawak tribes
tell commission
BY D E S MO N D DAV ID S O N

KUCHING: Tribes in the Sarawak interior are unanimously


against the proposed Baram
hydroelectric dam that will displace thousands of them if it is
built, a fact-finding mission by
the Malaysian Human Rights
Commission (Suhakam) earlier
this month has found.
The people also expressed
their hopes to the six-member
Suhakam team that the state
government would totally abandon the plan to construct the
RM4 billion dam that would submerge 400 sq km of the rainforest.
They conveyed this to the
team led by Nurul Hassanah
Ahmad Hassain Malim, who is
Suhakams deputy secretary for
policy, law and complaints, at
a gathering in the Kenyah settlement of Long San on Sept 4
and 5.
Long San on the Baram River,
about 230km or a four-hour drive
from Miri, is considered the principal home to Kenyah culture
and has become increasingly
popular as a tourist destination.
The Suhakam team also visited three other longhouses the
Kenyah longhouses in Tanjong
Pelipat and Long Selatong Bekian and the Kayan longhouse
in Long Liam for a similar
mission.
Sarawak Chief Minister Tan
Sri Adenan Satem, in a television
interview on Malaysia Day, said
a moratorium on the dam was
due to strong opposition from
the people in Baram and environmental concerns.
Adenan first announced the
moratorium in Long Lama on
Aug 4.
While the people welcome
the announcement on the moratorium, a great sense of anxiety
is still there, said Peter Kallang,
chairman of Save Rivers, the
non-governmental organisation that is spearheading the
campaign against the dam.
Some 20,000 people risk being displaced if the dam, meant
to generate 1,300mw of electricity, is built. The Malaysian

A sideways watch to wear when youre driving a race car


BY STEPHEN PULVIRENT

NO, theres nothing wrong with your screen.


The Omega Chronostop face is on sideways.
If youre wearing the Chronostop like
an ordinary watch you know, on the
top of your wrist telling the time is a
weirdly awkward, confusing exercise. This
watch isnt meant to be worn like your trusty
Speedmaster. Youre supposed to wear the
Chronostop under your wrist when youre
driving a car a race car, in fact. At that
angle, the 12 oclock position is vertical as
usual, so you can read the watch at a glance.
Tiffany & Cos new East West collection
is a modern take on this style, which was
rather popular in the early 20th century as
cars became popular with wealthy young
men such as the Bentley Boys.
The chronograph is like no other youve
seen, either. The bright seconds hand is all
youve got, so you can measure intervals
only up to one-minute long. When you
press that pusher at 2 oclock, the hand
starts moving. A second press will send it
back to zero, so you have to hold it down
to read out the seconds. Its an interesting

As if this isnt enough to garner attention,
this Chronostop has a bright blue dial thats

darker black or gray dial with lower-contrast markers. Not only does this not make
much sense for a watch you need to read

quickly at full speed, but it compromises


the period look of the watch. The white
and reddish-orange hands really stand out
against the dial. The blue here wouldnt look
half bad with a new Rolls-Royce Dawn or
Porsche 911 Targa. Just saying.
While the watch harkens back to the
1920s and 1930s, the case shape is a dead
giveaway that this watch is from the 1960s.

less charming than these quirkier examples.

Xi visit marks downturn in ties


Washington and Beijing are entering a period of long-term contention that is likely to get worse
BY JOSH ROGI N

he United States and China are entering a period


of long-term contention
likely to get worse during the next administration, no matter which
party holds power. That dynamic
will be on display this week, with
the state visit by Chinas president.
In the run-up to Xi Jinpings visit
to Seattle, New York and Washington, which will include a state dinner at the White House, the Obama
administration has tried to show the
US-China relationship as constructive and even friendly. The administration has decided it wont impose sanctions on Chinese entities
in response to the massive hack of
US government personnel data last
year, at least before Xis visit.
White House officials have been
working hard this month to advance
bilateral cooperation on climate
change and an agreement not to
attack each others critical infrastructure during peacetime, in the
hope the summit can claim some
substance.
But the visit, starting today, will
be overshadowed by disputes over
Chinas growing military assertiveness, its expanding economic espionage online and its crackdown on
human rights at home. Republican
presidential candidates have promised less coddling of Beijing if they
are elected president. Democrats
warn that the US-China relationship
isnt getting better any time soon.
Im ultimately quite hopeful
about US-China relations. But I also
think we have to be cognisant [of
the fact that] the level of anxiety,
competition and tension in our relationship is here to stay, said Kurt

Campbell, who served as the State


Departments top Asia official under
Hillary Clinton. We need to learn to
work with that, as opposed to trying
to go back to some period of time
when US-China relations were less
difficult. That period is over.
Lack of clear, cohesive response
The future of the US-China relationship is not yet written, but the
US has lacked a clear and cohesive response to a series of Chinese
actions in recent months, he said
including militarisation in the
South China Sea, sailing ships into
US waters near Alaska and hacking
US government computers to steal
the personal information of millions of current and former officials.
I do question some of the moves
that the president and his team have
made in anticipation of the summit,
said Campbell. It would be terrific
if the president could clarify the direction that he wants to go ahead,
make clear hes going to tackle

some of these issues.


For many Democrats, the
US-China relationship is destined
for prolonged tension due to Chinese economic and trade practices,
including what they see as currency
manipulation and mistreatment
of US companies that do business
there. Just as Xi is meeting with US
tech leaders in Seattle, the Chinese
government is demanding that US
firms agree to controversial policies
that would force foreign businesses to give the Chinese government
access to their data and intellectual
property.
Neera Tanden, the president of
the Center for American Progress,
whose founder John Podesta chairs
Clintons campaign, said American
businesses are increasingly concerned that the promise of success
in the Chinese market is now being
undermined by Chinese protectionism and unfair treatment.
People see China through the
lens of stagnating wages in the US,

the impact of the economic relationship and how this really hits certain
economic sectors really hard and
does put downward pressure on
wages, she said. That will create
very few anchors for a positive relationship over the next several decades in the US. And thats something
we are all going to have to deal with.

compiled options for pushing back


against what he has called Chinas
Great Wall of Sand, but the White
House was still considering what to
do. The South China Sea is no more
Chinas than the Gulf of Mexico is
Mexicos, he said.
Twenty-six members of Congress,
led by Randy Forbes and including
House Armed Services Committee
chairman Mac Thornberry, wrote to
Obama and Carter last week urging
them to allow the US military to
assert its right to operate in waters
near Chinese islands.
The administration says, Were
going to do studies of our options,
but by that time, China is going to
say, This is the international norm
and you cant violate it, Forbes said
in an interview. Weve not only let
the Chinese do these things; weve
let them censor us in what we can
say and do.
During the political season, its
easy to find breathless bashing of
China and just as easy to dismiss it.
But there has been a broad bipartisan consensus throughout several
administrations around the strategy
of engaging China constructively
while balancing that with action
to ensure China doesnt abuse its
rising power to violate international
norms, and threaten US and allied
interests.
As this summit will demonstrate,
there is now a bipartisan consensus
that this balance is out of whack. For
different reasons, both Republicans
and Democrats want a more assertive
US stance. Xi should enjoy this visit: It may be his last warm welcome
to Washington. Bloomberg View

Stand on South China Sea


President Barack Obamas strategy
of talking tough on China without
openly confronting it is becoming
increasingly untenable. For example, although Defense Secretary
Ashton Carter has repeatedly said
the US is under no obligation to
respect Chinese requests to stay
19.3km away from reclaimed reefs
in the South China Sea, the White
House hasnt actually told the Pentagon whether it is allowed to travel
within that zone.

BY QU ENTI N WEBB

JAPAN Posts flotation had better be


priced to go. The stock market debut
of the postal operator, plus separate
stakes in its banking and insurance
subsidiaries, could raise 1.39 trillion
(RM42.66 billion). This is a milestone
in many ways: Tokyos biggest listing
since 1998; a landmark privatisation
for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe; and a
big test of retail investor demand. Yet
delivering success probably hinges
on attractive payouts.
The three-part deal will see the
state sell 11% of Japan Post Holdings,
the parent outfit, at a target valuation
of 6.1 trillion. At the same time, the
holding company will list 11% of each
of its two financial arms, Japan Post
Bank and Japan Insurance, with desired market capitalisations of 6.3
trillion and 1.3 trillion, respectively.
Floating all three together makes
it harder to charge top prices. But the
privatisation has been a decade in the
making, and the top priority for Abes

government will be completing the


deal. The states proceeds will repay
debt used to patch up areas ravaged
by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Besides, the Nov 4 listings are just
a first step. In the following months,
Japan Post Holdings will buy back
some of its own stock from the state
using the proceeds from floating its
subsidiaries. In the medium term,
the holding company will reduce its
shareholding in the financial units
below 50%, and eventually set them
free entirely. The state will keep at
least a third of the holding company,
which will then focus on Japan Post
Co, which houses the post office, mail
and logistics operations.
The scale of the businesses is awesome: The banks 178-trillion deposit
hoard is Japans largest. The life insurance business is similarly No 1. The
24,000-plus post offices constitute the
countrys largest physical network.
For now, the businesses are tightly
controlled to prevent them from overwhelming private competitors: The

bank can neither pursue takeovers


nor offer mortgages, for example.
But as the state becomes a minority
investor, these businesses should get
a looser rein to make the most of their
unparalleled reach, especially in older
and rural communities.
Though comparisons are inexact,
postal privatisations in other countries, like Britains Royal Mail and
Portugals CTT, have rewarded new
backers handsomely. And Japans
offerings look cheap. At an indicative
price of 1,350 per share, the holding
company is valued at 0.4 times its
2014/15 book value. The banks guide
price of 1,400 per share equates to
a multiple of 0.45 times book value.
Dividends scaled up to reflect
a full year in public markets give
yields of 3.4% for the holding company and 3.6% for the bank. Megabanks Mitsubishi UFJ, Mizuho, and
Sumitomo Mitsui trade on an average of 0.7 times book value and
offer a 3% yield. The wider Nikkei
225 index yields 1.6%.

But there are good reasons for


caution, too. For a start, growth will
be mediocre, at least as the businesses reorient themselves. Pre-initial public offer (IPO) research from
an underwriter, obtained by Breakingviews, forecasts operating revenue growth of just 1.7% to March
2018 at the post arm, and slight
declines in the financial units. The
insurers net income is expected to
shrink over the next three financial
years, while the banks net income
is forecast to rise by just 0.7% annually. The postal business will make
just 34 billion by 2017/18.
These sober numbers reflect big
underlying challenges. Mail is in prolonged decline. Diversification into
domestic parcel delivery, and overseas logistics via the US$5 billion
(RM21.45 billion) purchase of Australias Toll, is a work in progress. At
least the buy-backs will help: At the
indicative prices, the sale of shares in
its subsidiaries will give the holding
company firepower to buy back half

a billion shares, boosting its earnings


per share by one-eighth.
Meanwhile, the bank is an oddity. The prospectus shows a miserable 3.2% return on equity partly
because it hardly lends and instead
holds a huge securities portfolio
made up largely of Japanese government bonds.
Then consider how much the Japanese government needs this privatisation to work. A strong aftermarket
performance would be hugely helpful, given future selldowns will follow
and Japanese retail investors also
known as voters are supposedly
buying more than three-quarters of
the offering.
So perhaps the shares could get
even cheaper. Indicative prices will
be followed by formal price ranges,
on Oct 7, and final prices on Oct 19
and 26. Note that Japans last mega-IPO, Dai-ichi Life Insurance, was
priced almost 7% below its sighting
shot. Expect Japan Post to be similarly
priced to go. Reuters

Alibabas
next business
endeavour to
dominate
sports

Thailands future doesnt lie


in past marked by Thaksin

BY KAVI T HA A DAV IDSON

FACING growth concerns among


investors, Chinese e-commerce
giant Alibaba has announced a
new push into sports. The company is partnering with the Web
news and social media conglomerate Sina and Yunfeng Capital
to form Alibaba Sports Group
in a bid to transform Chinas
sports industry, according to a
press release.
There arent too many details
of what, exactly, Alibaba intends
to do in sports. The company said
it plans to leverage its e-commerce platform to move into the
industry via copyrights, sports
media, events and ticketing. The
announcement came as analysts warned on Sept 8 that its
third-quarter sales on the retailing side would fail to meet
expectations.
The shift to sports isnt completely out of the blue. Alibaba
owns a 50% stake in Guangzhou
Evergrande, one of Chinas top
football clubs. It also has partnerships with Bayern Munich and
Real Madrid, setting up online
stores on the companys business-to-consumer retail platform, Tmall.
Just last month, Alibaba announced it was teaming up with
Kobe Bryants new start-up,
Kobe Inc, to distribute the feature-length documentary Kobe
Bryants Muse and to market a
series of branded products.
Alibabas sports focus is part
of a larger effort to diversify its
brand to entertainment in general, and enter the wide world of
content. As founder and chairman Jack Ma told reporters
last year, when Alibaba bought
Guangzhou, Were not investing in football, were investing in
entertainment.
The company recently
launched a video-streaming service la Netflix, and invested
in the latest Mission Impossible
movie. As part of the agreement
with Paramount, Alibaba will distribute the film throughout China
and oversee its online ticketing
and promotion.
For now, this is a China play,
Bloomberg View Asia correspondent Adam Minter emailed
me about Alibaba Sports. This
is all part of the massive content
grab that the big Chinese Internet companies are in the midst
of. That includes buying movie
studios, television production
units, e-sports broadcasters ...
all in hope of being the streamer
of choice.
You can see why sports offers
such an attractive road into the
world of digital content, especially in emerging markets. According to Stacey Allaster, chairman
and chief executive officer of the
Womens Tennis Association,
50% of sports fans in China, India
and Russia consume their sports
on mobile. Bloomberg View

Current PM turning to the same spendthrift economic policies that he once derided
BY WILLIAM PESEK

fter taking power


nearly 16 months
ago, Thai coup leaders sought to banish
all traces of former
leader Thaksin Shinawatra from public life. Its more
than a little ironic that theyre now
embracing his economic policies.
Thaksin was removed in a 2006
coup after five years in power. But
his political machine continued
to control Asias seventh-biggest
economy off and on for years after,
with his younger sister, Yingluck
Shinawatra, serving as prime minister from 2011 to 2013.
In May 2014, a new band of military leaders rolled into Bangkok
determined to restore order after
a long-running political stalemate
and hoping to drive the Thaksin
crowd out once and for all.
Initially, general-turned-premier
Prayuth Chan-ocha won reasonably
broad support from a Thai public
exhausted by political infighting.
Many Thais figured that if democratically elected leaders couldnt
boost living standards, perhaps the
generals could.

But as the economys struggles


have deepened, the governments
support rate has sunk along with
the Thai currency. To prop up those
numbers, Prayuth is turning to the
same spendthrift economic policies
dubbed Thaksinomics that he
once derided.
Last month, Prayuth hired Somkid
Jatusripitak, Thaksins former finance
minister and architect of his economic programme. Somkid is already
pushing similar policies, including
pumping waves of money into villages to shore up political support.
Thats exactly what Thailand
doesnt need. One can appreciate
the pressure Prayuth is feeling. Even
though the Thai baht is down 9% this
year, exports contracted in each of
the last seven months.
Domestic demand is equally
weak amid high consumer debt
and a lack of confidence (something unlikely to be bolstered by
news that beloved King Bhumibol
Adulyadej is back in hospital).
A deadly bomb blast in Bangkok last month threatened to inflict further damage on the vitally
important tourism trade and repel
already-scant foreign investment.
Yet Prayuth was right to criticise
Thaksins strategy of lavishing piles
of cash on rural communities in exchange for loyalty. Reverting to mass

handouts now will do nothing to improve economic fundamentals and


may well deepen the nations malaise.
For one thing, such populism distracts the government from polices
more likely to encourage long-term
competitiveness, such as infrastructure upgrades. Plans to spend roughly
US$92 billion (RM394.68 billion) on
such projects including high-speed
rail networks between Southeast Asia
and China are progressing glacially.
So are efforts to move Thailand
up the skill-and-production value
chain. As Indonesia, the Philippines
and Vietnam lobby to host Toyota and
Samsung factories, Thailand doesnt
have this kind of time to waste.
Theres also the next phase of Thailands development to consider
the need to integrate into the global
information economy. If the junta is
going to ply rural communities with
billions of dollars, the money should
be put into education, training and
productivity-enhancing research and
development projects.
Unfortunately, the juntas recent
actions may curb the capital inflows
needed to finance such human capital investments. On Sept 11, for example, it failed to pass a new constitution
that critics said would have legalised
similar coups. The upshot: An election in 2016 now looks impossible.
Thailand has just seen a record 17

days of outflows from debt. Further


capital flight is likely as growth slows
and global volatility continues. All this
would be less worrisome if Prayuth
and his men seemed to have a coherent plan to revive the economy.
Now that two interest rate cuts
have failed to boost demand, the
onus is on the government to combat the effects of a Chinese slowdown (including through a US$6.5
billion stimulus package).
Amid such uncertainty, a detour
toward Thaksin-like short-termism
is troubling to say the least. Thailand needs bold structural reforms
to strengthen government institutions like the judiciary reduce
the role of exports, curb corruption,
increase transparency and cut red
tape to encourage both domestic
start-ups and foreign investment.
Confidence could be restored by
offering a coherent and proactive
revival programme with specific
goals and deadlines including
a timeline for when the generals
will restore civilian rule. The last
thing the country needs is a return
to the past those same generals
claimed to be fighting against.

Legend Cruise reveals Kedah attractions


BY HASNAH JU S I D

RIVER cruises in many countries


are popular attractions among
tourists and locals as they allow a
whole new experience in enjoying
the scenic view and atmosphere.
When asked about river cruises in Malaysia, most will point to
Melaka or Sarawak; not many are
aware that Kedah is another state
that offers such activity as well.
The Kedah Legend Cruise, operated by World Tree Holdings Sdn
Bhd, began operating on June 6
from Tanjung Chali.
The Legend Cruise is one of the
tourist attractions planned by the
state government in line with the
Discover Kedah 2016 campaign,
which targets five million domestic
and international tourists.
A warm greeting welcomed this
writer and other tourists as they
stepped onto the boat.
A crew member known as Pak
Man manoeuvred the boat along
Sungai Anak Bukit, where its passengers could view some historical
sites and old villages.
On their left they could see Kampung Seberang Nyonya, an old village, and an elderly Chinese man
providing sampan services to get to

Kedah 2016 campaign. Photo by Bernama

Kampung Seberang Nyonya from


Pekan Cina. The two places are
separated by Sungai Kedah.
A 153-year-old Chinese temple built facing Sungai Anak Bukit
could be found on the right.
Rumah Merdeka, which was the
home of Malaysias father of independence, Tunku Abdul Rahman,
also grabbed the groups attention.
The building now houses collections and memories of Tunku.
Moving further along the river, the tourists soaked in the view
of the Alor Setar Tower and Zahir

Mosque, and made sure photos


they captured clearly included the
two icons of Alor Setar.
As the boat moved along Sungai
Kedah heading to Ampang Jajar,
the crew made a short stop to allow passengers to feed the deer in
the area, another opportunity for
visitors not only to see but also get
a feel of nature.
Despite its potential to become
a great tourism product, Legend
Cruise still has some way to go.
Boat operator Cheah Hwai Min
says only about 3,000 tickets had

been sold up to early this month,


and this is a small number.
Furthermore, he says, many are
unaware of Legend Cruise, possibly
due to a lack of promotion.
However, Cheah notes that the
bigger problem is the lack of lighting along the river route.
At night, the area is pitch-dark
without the presence of lights, making it difficult to enjoy the scenic
view.
Even Tanjung Chali Tower does
not offer any lighting after its electric cables and equipment were
stolen.
According to Professor Datuk
Dr Abdul Kadir Lebai Din, who is
a professor emeritus at Universiti
Utara Malaysias School of Tourism, Hospitality and Environmental Management, a feasibility study
should be done before setting up
any new tourist attractions.
He points out that Kedah already
has two big assets in the form of
Sungai Kedah and Sungai Anak
Bukit, but a systematic and orderly development would lure more
visitors to the state.
At the same time, he hopes the
state government could hold talks
with tourism experts prior to making any decision. Bernama

state media
SHANGHAI: Chinas economic growth will likely slow to
6.9% this year amid gloomy
short-term macroeconomic trends and the threat of
deflation, state media quoted an annual report from a

The Chinese Academy of

debt pressures faced by local
governments, the Shanghai

a previous reading of 7.4%
which was its slowest rate
in 24 years. The economy

China turns to Islamic finance

IN BRIEF

capital controls at home. It has been


a hit. In the Bank for International Settlements last survey of global currencies, daily turnover in the
spot offshore market was 70% of the
US$20 billion (RM85.8 billion)-a-day
onshore market.
This situation worked well as long
as both currencies were rising in value against the US dollar. Exporters
dollars went to the mainland where
they swelled the PBoCs foreign currency pile. Holders of offshore renminbi deposits and yuan-denominated dim sum bonds were happy
owning assets in an appreciating
currency.
Now the tide has turned. The offshore yuan is weaker because Chinas
economy is cooling while the central
bank is intervening to prop up the
currency. Chinese importers have
a greater incentive to sell renminbi
onshore. The same goes for a small

group of investors who can access


both markets. Thats putting pressure on the PBoC to provide dollars
from its kitty, which has shrunk by
11% since hitting almost US$4 trillion in June 2014.
The PBoC had hoped its devaluation would align the onshore exchange rate more closely with its
offshore cousin. Since that backfired, the leadership is left with two
bad choices. It could choke CNH liquidity to kill speculation, but only
at the risk of undermining Chinas
ambition to join the International
Monetary Funds elite currency club.
Failling to intervene, however, puts
it under pressure to devalue again.
It isnt clear which option Beijing
will choose. But as long as capital
is looking to get out of China, the
offshore currency that was once a
poster boy for reform will remain a
problem child. Reuters

VW scandal
could be auto
sectors Libor
BY OL A F STORB ECK

LONDON: Volkswagen has


driven headlong into a Libor
moment. Authorities in the
United States say Europes biggest carmaker rigged emissions
tests. The revelations are reminiscent of the bank rate-fixing
scandals. With VW, it is too early to know how widespread the
bad behaviour was, whether
bosses knew, and who else was
at it. But without rogue traders
to blame, VW may well find it
harder to excuse itself.
According to US regulators, VW admitted on Sept
3 that some of its diesel vehicles were fitted with a device which the authorities
said would cheat on clean air
rules. There was, regulators
said, a sophisticated software algorithm that turned
on a cars emission control
technology when the vehicle
was undergoing official emissions testing. During normal
driving, emissions of nitrogen
oxides, an exhaust gas harmful to humans, were up to 40
times above the legal limit.
Turning off the emission control system during normal use
apparently helped to improve
driving performance.
VW chief executive Martin
Winterkorn has already apologised, publicly. He has ordered an investigation, led by
people hitherto unconnected
to the carmaker. VW has also
recalled 500,000 diesel vehicles sold in the US since 2009.
If non-US vehicles were fitted
with a similar device, the health
scare and the ensuing reputational damage may be
far bigger. In Germany, 48%
of all new passenger cars are
diesel, compared to less than
1% in the US.
Banks accused of rigging
Libor could point to rogue
individuals, acting to enrich
themselves personally, to reduce the negative impact. VW
may struggle to save face similarly. The design of a new car
is a multi-year collaborative
activity. The opportunity for
individual VW engineers to
gain personally seems limited. Meanwhile, the German
group is known for having a
centralised internal culture.
US authorities may be able
to levy fines on VW of up to
US$18 billion (RM77.2 billion),
Reuters reports. VW may also
have to compensate customers
for misleading them about a
cars performance with working emission control systems.
Shareholders could sue for
compensation too.
The market seems to have
few illusions about the depth
of VWs embarrassment and
its cost. Shares sank 22% on
Monday, wiping away more
than 13 billion (RM62.3 billion) in market capitalisation.
If this plays out anything like
Libor, there could be worse to
come. Reuters

ADB revises down regional growth


HONG KONG: Weaker growth in
China this year is expected to cause
a slowdown in the rest of Asia, the
Asian Development Bank (ADB) said
yesterday as it became the latest major
body to revise down its forecasts for
the worlds No 2 economy.
It also warned central banks to
prepare for an expected FederalReserve interest rate rise, with many
nations already seeing huge capital
outflows as dealers look for safer US
investments.
The report comes as markets have
been hit by extreme volatility driven
by fears over the Chinese economy

and its leaders management of it


after last months surprise devaluation of its yuan currency.
The combination of a moderating prospect in China and India,
together with delayed recovery of
advanced countries, weighed on our
forecast for the region as a whole,
said ADB chief economist ShangJin Wei, who presented the report at
the Foreign Correspondents Club
in Hong Kong.
In an update to its flagship Asian
Development Outlook released in
March, the bank said growth in the
region would hit 5.8% this year and

6% in 2016. Marchs forecast was for


6.3% for both years.
Inflation in the developing Asia
region was forecast to ease further,
partly due to lower global commodity prices.
Wei said that the overall outlook
for the region was still positive but
had been impacted by capital flow
reversals and weakened commodity
prices for exporters, partly related to
the China slowdown.
Developing Asia is expected to
continue to be the largest contributing region to global growth despite
the moderation, he added. AFP

poisoned by pollution, said the
minister.
South Korean officials summoned VW representatives for explanations. We will start conducting tests no later than next month,
said a senior official at the environment ministry.
In addition to the environmental probe already underway, the US
Department of Justice has launched
a criminal investigation, US officials
told Bloomberg news agency.
According to the US authorities, VW has admitted that it had
equipped about 482,000 cars in the

US with sophisticated software that


covertly turns off pollution controls
when the car is being driven and
turns them on only when it detects
that the vehicle is undergoing an
emissions test.
With the so-called defeat device
deactivated, the car can spew pollutant gases into the air, including
nitrogen oxide in amounts as much
as 40% higher than emissions standards, said the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), which announced the allegations last Friday
along with California authorities.
Using a defeat device in cars to
evade clean air standards is illegal,
and a threat to public health, said
Cynthia Giles, enforcement officer
at the EPA. AFP

German wages rose

BERLIN: German real wages rose by 2.7% in the second
quarter, the strongest increase
since records began in 2008, the
Federal Statistics Office said
yesterday. The data showed
the strongest increases on a
pre-inflation, or nominal basis, were in eastern Germany

minimum wage at the start of
the year had an impact. Low
inflation also supported real
wage growth. Reuters

Coal under siege offers redhot bargains to willing buyers


BY MARIO PARKER & TIM LOH

MELBOURNE: Australian coal


miner New Hope Corp, which
has a war chest for potential acquisitions, said it expects coal
mine deals to pick up next year
as buyers and sellers views of
the outlook for the battered
sector start to converge.
New Hope, with more than
A$1 billion (RM3.06 billion)
available for acquisitions, is
looking to snap up good-quality operating energy coal and
steel-making coal mines in
Australia and western Canada.
It is in a strong position after
reporting a 25% rise in profit to
A$51.7 million before one-offs
for the year to July 2015, as cost
cuts outweighed a drop in sales
with energy coal prices slumping to more than six-year lows.
The results matched a forecast from broker Morgans.
In contrast to its rival Whitehaven Coal, which paid no dividend, New Hope raised its final
dividend by 25% to 2.5 Australian cents a share and announced a 3.5 cents-a-share
special dividend.
Managing director Shane
Stephan said different coal producers outlooks were starting
to shift, leading to more overlapping views of coal asset valuations.
So, I think that the potential for transactions to occur
over the next six to 12 months
is greater than what it has been
over the previous 12 months,
he told Reuters in an interview.

PITTSBURG: Its a buyers market


for anyone who dares to touch US
coal mines.
Miners producing 80% of the
best-quality US coal are either for
sale or in bankruptcy, Corsa Coal
Corp chief executive officer George
Dethlefsen said at a coal marketing
conference organised by Platts in
Pittsburgh last Thursday.
Everythings for sale, Kurt Oehlberg, managing director at FBR
Capital Markets, said at a separate industry event in Vancouver.
The problem is, how do you make
transactions happen when everyones selling, and very few people
are buying?

Coal is suffering from a global


glut as the worlds economy has
slowed and cheap natural gas steals
from its share of the power generation market. US producers are
also facing mounting environmental and mining regulations, and a
strong US dollar that has marooned
the fuel to the domestic market.
M&A (mergers and acquisitions) activity is red-hot, Dethlefsen said last Thursday in an interview at the Platts Coal Marketing
Days conference in Pittsburgh.
Theres an incredible amount of
assets for sale. Its great for consolidators.
Distressed miners, however, are
so dependent on their best assets
that they cant sell those at fire-sale

prices. And the small group of potential buyers out there isnt willing
to pay top dollar and isnt interested
in lower-quality coal mines. Buyers
will have to find assets that check
most of their boxes, Oehlberg said
at the Coal Association of Canadas
conference in Vancouver.
Everyone wants the gems, but
more often than not, theyre diamonds in the rough, he said.
Alpha Natural Resources Inc,
Walter Energy Inc and Patriot Coal
Corp are among US miners that
have sought bankruptcy protection this year, amid the industry
slump that has sent the quarterly
benchmark price for coal used in
steel-making to the lowest level in
over a decade. Bloomberg

Foreigners swoop on Australian M&A targets


BY BYRON KAYE

SYDNEY: Foreign suitors are bidding for Australian companies at


a frenzied pace this year, spurred
by a steady decline in the Aussie
dollar against the US dollar, which
is turning valuations reasonable.
Last weeks US$1.6 billion
(RM6.86 billion) all-cash approach
by US credit agency Equifax Inc for
Sydney-listed rival Veda Group is the
latest among billion-US dollar-plus
inbound takeovers of Australian companies, as a slowdown in the countrys top trading partner China weighs
on the economy and on its currency,
which is down 13% so far this year.

Australian inbound deals have


risen 23% by value so far in 2015,
compared with the same period last
year, Thomson Reuters data showed,
as the weak currency added to supportive conditions already created
by persistently low interest rates
and the prospect of exposure to a
mature, growing market.
The average value of Australian
inbound deals so far in 2015 is the
highest on record at US$127 million, up 31% on the year before.
I dont know that [the US dollar]
has been the sole driver, but it has
certainly acted as a catalyst, said
Douglas Farrell, head of mergers
and acquisitions (M&A) at Citi-

group Pty Ltd, which is advising


Canadas Brookfield Asset Management in an A$8.9 billion (RM27.25
billion) play for freight firm Asciano,
the biggest deal of this year.
Deal flow has also been helped
by increased volatility that were
seeing in markets that from a timing standpoint makes shareholders
a bit more likely to accept a cash
bid where theres a strong level of
certainty, said Farrell.
A foreign firm was also the acquirer in the second-largest M&A
deal of this year, where Japan Post
Holdings bought Ascianos former
owner Toll Holdings for A$6.5 billion. Reuters

More Thai army


ocers wanted
for human
tracking
BANGKOK: Thai authorities
said yesterday arrest warrants
have been issued for three
more military officers over
human trafficking, as part of
a crackdown that sparked a
regional migrant crisis earlier
this year.
Previously only one senior
officer Lieutenant-General
Manas Kongpan had been
charged over the smuggling of
Rohingya Muslim and Bangladeshi migrants through southern Thailand, after successive
Thai governments largely ignored the brutal trade.
People smugglers abandoned thousands of migrants
at sea or in jungle camps after a Thai clampdown on the
multimillion industry in May,
a crisis that eventually forced
a belated Southeast Asia-wide
response.
Arrest warrants have now
been issued for four military
officers three from the army
and one in the navy, Paween
Pongsiri, a southern deputy
regional commander, told AFP.
This number includes
Manas, with Paween declining to name the others.
Manas is accused of being a
major kingpin in the lucrative
human trafficking and smuggling trade.
Most migrants sought a
new life in Malaysia, but many
found themselves held captive
in dismal camps on both sides
of the Thai-Malaysian border
or on boats until relatives
stumped up ransoms.
Manas alleged involvement
raised awkward questions for
junta chief Prayuth Chan-ocha,
who has repeatedly justified
his coup last year as a muchneeded antidote to graft that he
says flourished under a series of
elected civilian governments.
Manas was promoted while
Prayuth was army chief.
While rights groups welcomed his arrest, they said it
was unlikely such an influential officer would have acted
alone AFP

Legal action against


firms linked to haze
Indonesia is investigating more than 200 companies
BY BERNADETT E C HRI S TI NA

JAKARTA: Indonesia has ordered four


companies to suspend operations
for allegedly causing forest fires that
have sent smoke across a swathe of
Southeast Asia, an environment ministry official said yesterday.
Indonesia has launched investigations against more than 200 companies as it scrambles to bring the fires
on Sumatra and Kalimantan islands
under control by the end of November, amid complaints from neighbouring Singapore and Malaysia.
Previous government efforts to

halt the seasonal slash-and-burn


practices have failed to tackle the
problem due to a lack of policy coordination and legal wrangling that
can take years to resolve.
These suspensions will be in
effect until the criminal proceedings undertaken by the police are
finished, environment ministry
secretary-general Bambang Hendroyono said.
Three plantation companies have
had their permits frozen and one
forestry company has had its licence
revoked, he added. All the companies were Indonesian-owned.

No NYT Thai edition after article on kings health


BANGKOK: The New York Times said
yesterday that its printer had refused
to print the local edition of the international newspaper because it
featured a front-page article on the
health of the ailing king.
The condition of 87-year-old King
Bhumibol the worlds longest
serving monarch is a hugely controversial topic in Thailand.
The monarchy is shielded by one
of the worlds toughest lese majeste laws and prosecutions have
increased dramatically since the
military took over last year in a coup.
Todays (yesterday) edition of
the International New York Times
was not printed in Thailand because
it includes an article that our locally contracted printer deemed too
sensitive to print, the newspaper
said in a letter to subscribers in the
kingdom.
This decision was made solely by
the printer and is not endorsed by
the International New York Times,
the paper added.
Attempts by AFP to contact the
local printer for comment have

proved unsuccessful.
Local and international media
have to routinely self-censor when
reporting on the monarchy for fear
of falling foul of the broadly worded
law, which carries up to 15 years in
jail for each count of insulting the
king, queen, heir or regent.
The New York Times article,
which ran to more than 1,300 words
and was on the front page in its Asia
edition, looked into the increasingly
frail health of Bhumibol and anxieties inside Thailand over his chosen successor, Crown Prince Maha
Vajiralongkorn, who does not enjoy
his fathers widespread popularity.
It also detailed many of the difficulties in writing about the royal
family or gauging its popularity in
a country where open debate about
its role is all but impossible thanks
to the lese majeste law.
King Bhumibol is perceived as
a near-deity by many Thais and is
often seen as a unifying force in a
deeply polarised country with a
turbulent political history.
In the last two years Bhumibol

Four abducted from Philippine resort


MANILA: Gunmen have kidnapped
two Canadian tourists, a Norwegian employee and a Filipina from
a luxury resort island in the conflict-racked southern Philippines,
police said yesterday.
The suspects sailed two motorboats into a marina on Samal
island and seized the four from
aboard yachts just before midnight on Monday, said Superintendent Antonio Rivera, a local
police spokesman.
Law enforcement boats and helicopters were scouring the waters
around the island yesterday to try
to stop the kidnappers from leaving the area, according to Rivera.

Plantation company PT Langgam


Inti Hibrindo, which is owned by
small listed firm PT Provident Agro,
was among the companies to have
its permit frozen.
Last week, police named an official overseeing operations at Langgam Inti Hibrido as a suspect for
allegedly starting fires on the companys land.
President Joko Widodo has ordered thousands of security personnel backed by helicopters to help
fight the fires, and has threatened
to revoke land permits from companies found responsible. Reuters

They appeared to target the


foreigners. They went straight for
the yachts, Rivera told AFP.
[But] we still dont have anything. Were blank. No group has
taken responsibility and there is
no demand for ransom.
A police report identified the
Canadian tourists as John Ridsdel,
68, and Robert Hall, 50. The Norwegian, who was working at the
marina, was identified as Kjartan
Sekkinstad, 56.
The 40-year-old Filipina, identified only as Tess, was a companion of one of the foreign tourists,
Rivera said.
A Japanese couple was nearly

abducted but they fought back,


he said.
A woman working at the Holiday
Ocean View resort, which operates
the marina, confirmed the incident
to AFP.
A Norwegian foreign ministry
spokesman in Oslo, Lothe Salvesen,
told AFP the government was investigating the reports of the abductions,
but could not confirm any details.

Public appearances have become
increasingly rarer and information
on his condition has been scarce.
But in recent weeks the palace
has taken the unusual step of regularly updating Thais on the kings
health with a series of statements
detailing his current struggle with
a lung infection.
Last week his youngest daughter
Princess Chulabhorn was shown
on television speaking about her
fathers frail health and taking part
in a Buddhist prayer ceremony for
ill people.
Bhumibol was also previously
treated earlier this year for water on
the brain and had his gall bladder
removed last year.
He was last seen in public earlier
this month when the palace released
footage of the wheelchair-bound
monarch visiting a shop near the
hospital where he is convalescing
as subjects on their knees chanted
Long live the King.
He fell ill with his lung infection
shortly afterwards. AFP

Muslim pilgrims mass


in Makah for hajj
Almost two million people are expected to take part this year
BY LY NN E A L- NAHHAS

MAKAH: Hundreds of thousands


of pilgrims from around the world
began moving yesterday from the
holy city of Makah to nearby Mina
for the start of the hajj.
Almost two million people
are expected to take part in this

and injured nearly 400 at Islams
holiest site.
Nearby, both men and women
sat side by side listening to preachers explain the history and rituals of
the hajj, one of the worlds largest
annual gatherings.
This years hajj begins against a
backdrop of increased jihadist violence, a surge of the deadly Middle
East respiratory syndrome coronavirus virus and with Saudi Arabia
at war in Yemen.
The first day of the hajj is known
as Tarwiah Day, when pilgrims traditionally water their animals and
stock water for their trip to Mount

Arafat, about 10km south-east of


Mina.
Nowadays, pilgrims spend their
time there in prayer and reciting
the Quran.
The climax of the hajj season is on Arafat Day, which is
today.
With the start of the hajj, pilgrims
enter the stage of ihram a state
of purity in which they must not
wear perfume, cut their nails, or
trim their hair or beards.
During ihram, men wear a
seamless two-piece shroud-like
white garment, symbolising resurrection and emphasising unity regardless of social status or
nationality.
Women must wear loose dresses exposing only their faces and
hands.
They are following the
1,400-year-old tradition of the
Prophet Mohammed.
The hajj is among the five pillars
of Islam and every capable Muslim must perform the pilgrimage
at least once in their life. AFP

IN BRIEF

contingent on Prime Minister David


Cameron securing safeguards for
British jobs from EU leaders. This
would have been a valid threat,
given Cameron wants to make the
UK labour market more flexible.
Instead, Corbyn said he would
stay in the EU come what may, and
repeal unseemly legislation if needed
should Labour win the general election in 2020. It should leave the farright UK Independence Party as the
only party of any size to favour an EU
exit and calm investor fears. Insofar
as it suggests, Corbyn is not quite the
irresponsible firebrand some see him
as; it should help his appeal.
With the good comes bad. Even
as Corbyn laid out his EU policy in

an article for the Financial Times,


he also vowed to press for a tax on
financial transactions. This may
seem like a smart way to raise cash
for governments, hit banks and
dampen high-frequency trading.
But lower volumes would actually
increase volatility, and hurt ordinary consumers and their pensions
when banks pass along the higher
cost of trading bonds and shares. It
could stymie the eurozone economys attempts to get growing again.
Investors may not like Corbyns
financial meddling, and in any case
he remains unlikely to be able to
put it into practice. But his support
for Europe makes a British exit that
bit less likely. Reuters

Pettersen had been slammed for
her unsporting behaviour on Sunday after she said that a putt on the
17th green had not been conceded
when the USAs Alison Lee picked
up her ball, meaning the Americans
lost the hole.
Ive never felt more gutted and
truly sad, said the 34-year-old Norwegian said on social media.
I am sorry for not thinking

Sarawak to
appeal against
RM80,000 ne
imposed by FAM
KUCHING: The Football Association of Sarawak (FAS) will
officially submit an appeal to
reduce the RM80,000 fine imposed by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).
FAS secretary Abdullah Julaihi said the association received a letter last week stating
the FAM disciplinary committees decision to fine the FAS
RM80,000 and forcing Sarawak
to play two home matches in
an empty stadium.
We are given two weeks to
appeal. I will therefore submit
an official appeal by this week
to reduce the RM80,000 fine
and (change) the decision to
play two home matches behind
closed doors of the stadium,
he told reporters yesterday.
FAM, in a statement said
FAS was fined RM80,000, and
would play two matches without spectators in their home
ground for infringing Article
25 of the FAM Disciplinary
Code 2015.
FAM said Sarawak supporters were hurling firecrackers,
flares and smoke bombs onto
the pitch, apart from destroying
police vehicles and throwing
stones at the visiting teams
bus during three matches at
the State Stadium in Kuching.
The matches were a 2014
Malaysia Cup game between
Sarawak and Perak on Aug 30,
2014, as well as Super League
matches between Sarawak
and Perak on June 20 and the
Sarawak-Felda United match
on June 27. Bernama

about the bigger picture in the


heat of the battle.
Pettersens action was backed
by European captain Carin Koch.
There was a rules meeting at the
start of the week and the players
knew they had to wait until a putt
was conceded, said the Swede.
But US captain Juli Inkster
thought it was disrespectful.
Pettersen was playing in the fourball with Charley Hull against Lee
and Brittany Lincicome when the
incident took place.
Lee missed her birdie putt and
then assumed that her next putt

had been given and she picked


up her ball. Hull was walking to
the next tee, but Pettersen called
the referee and pointed out that
there had been no concession. That
meant the US incurred a penalty

stoke and so they lost the hole.


Europe went on to win the point
which would otherwise have gone
the Americans way and emotions
boiled over with both Lee and Hull
in tears at the end.
The US then recovered from 10-6
down to win eight and a half points
from 12 singles matches to regain
the trophy they last lifted in 2009.
Pettersen added: I was trying my
hardest for my team and put the single match and the point that could
be earned ahead of sportsmanship
and the game of golf itself. I feel like
I let my team down. AFP

Briton charged in
court for rash act
For intruding into track during Singapore grand prix
SINGAPORE: A British man who
walked across the track during the
Singapore grand prix was charged
in court yesterday for committing
a rash act that endangered the
lives of drivers.
A charge sheet said Yogvitam
Pravin Dhokia, 27, endangered the
personal safety of the drivers when
he crossed the track while the Singapore grand prix was in full swing
on Sunday night on the street circuit
in the central business district of
the city state.
It said he was accused of committing an offence under the penal
code punishable with imprisonment
of up to six months or a maximum
fine of S$2,500 (RM7,592), or both.
We can confirm the arrest of a
British national in Singapore and
we stand ready to provide consular assistance, a spokesman for the
British High Commission told AFP
in an email.
Yogvitams passport was impounded and bail was set at S$15,000
but the Briton said he could not afford the amount, local media reported.
Im not working currently. I
spent all my savings on tickets. I
dont really have that kind of money,

London High Court to


rule whether card game
bridge is a sport
LONDON: Practitioners of the
card game bridge are appearing in Londons High Court this
week to argue that their pastime deserves to be considered a
sport. The English Bridge Union
(EBU) took legal action after British funding body Sport England
refused to recognise it as such,
preventing the EBU from taking
part in international competitions. Sport England refused
to recognise bridge as a sport, a
position which the EBU believes
to be inconsistent with both the
wishes of Parliament, and the
opinion of significant international sporting organisations,
said an EBU spokesman. He said
that bridge required undoubted
levels of mental skill and had
known health benefits. AFP

Murray warned after


discussing skipping
ATP Tour Finals
LONDON: Andy Murray has
been told he is required to
compete in the ATP Tour Finals
after the Scot discussed skipping the event to prepare for the
Davis Cup final. After helping

expected to be played on clay.
But although the Davis Cup final begins on Nov 27, just five
days after the ATP Tour Finals
conclude, ATP president Chris
Kermode expects Murray to be
present at Londons O2 Arena.

rainbow xiao

an interesting
evolution
of this
Shanghainese
favourite that
dates back
to 1875.

DELIGHTFUL

DUMPLINGS
The latest food craze to hit
town are multi-flavoured
xiao long bao
BY SU ANN QUAH

or visitors to the Chinese cultural capital of Shanghai, the first meal that you
would want to consume is generally a
no-brainer: xiao long bao, the citys traditional dumpling dish that has been
made so famous the world over that
it can now be found in almost every major city
across the globe.
There is nothing like watching a steaming basket
of carefully-wrapped xiao long bao being served
in front of you, just waiting to be savoured. Bite
into the skin, and a hot, hearty broth quickly envelopes your senses. It is the magical combination
of this broth and the delectable minced pork that
makes this dish so well-loved by people from all
walks of life.
The original Shanghai xiao long bao was invented in Nanxiang circa 1875, a suburb of Shanghai,
where it slowly spread across downtown Shanghai and further afield. Traditionally, xiao long

bao was made with a tender, smooth, translucent


skin thats filled with minced pork, and steamed
in a round wooden basket. The defining specialty
of xiao long bao is its soup-filled interior, which
is usually slurped after biting into the skin, after
which the entire bao is eaten whole.
The two most famous xiao long bao places in
Shanghai sport queues that can stretch as far as a
city block in length. Nanxiang Mantou Dian and
Gulong Restaurant are the two eateries serving xiao
long bao that have the longest history, and are both
packed 365 days a year.
The restaurant which is credited for popularising xiao long bao to the rest of the world is Taiwanese restaurant chain Din Tai Fung. With outlets across the United States, Australia, Indonesia,
Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea, the
restaurant quickly converted legions of foreigners
into ardent fans of xiao long bao. Din Tai Fung is
now internationally famed for their signature xiao
long bao, and two of its Hong Kong outletsone
in Tsin Sha Tsui and another in Causeway Bay
were awarded one Michelin star each in 2010.
Nowadays, restaurants are quick to jump on
the xiao long bao bandwagon by creating a myriad
of delicious variants; some with the quirkiest flavours and stuffings imaginable. The earliest variant
was made with crab filling, and is now popularly
sold across Shanghai. The craze has also hit our

shores with the arrival of Paradise Dynasty from


Singapore. The restaurants specialty? Rainbow
xiao long bao.
They serve an astounding eight flavours of xiao
long bao, and true to its name they come in colourful skins. The eight flavours consist of ginseng,
foie gras, black truffle, cheese, crab roe, garlic
and Szechuan, as well as one in a more original
Shanghai flavour, and are each identified by their
coloured skins.
The highlights of this rainbow basket are the
immensely popular black truffle flavour with its
earthy tones, the mozzarella-filled cheese flavour
which tends to be favourite with children, and the
Szechuan flavour with its spicy tinge of chilli oil
and peppercorns.
Like most exotic dishes, xiao long bao has come
a long way from its humble roots in the outskirts of
Shanghai, but thousands of us living half a world
away have a handful of people to thank for introducing this amazing dish in to the international
culinary world.
Paradise Dynasty is located at Lot 1F-15, Paradigm
Shopping Mall, Kelana Jaya in Petaling Jaya and
at Lot 2F-15, Level 2, Bangsar Village II, Bangsar,
Kuala Lumpur. For more info, log onto www.paradisefnb.com.my.

The Le Creuset 90th


anniversary cocotte

Zen TODAY

90 YEARS OF

TIMELESS COOKWARE
BY SU A N N QUA H

xactly 90 years ago, French enamelling specialist Octave Aubecq


and casting expert Armand Desaegher joined forces to create
a superior cast iron cookware
range that was coated in porcelain enamel glaze. The duo opened a foundry
in Fresnoy-le-Grand, a small town in northern France, and began producing colourful
enamelled cast iron a revolution at a time
when cookware was only ever dull and grey.
The first colour they produced was a bright
flame orange inspired by the vibrant tones

of molten cast iron. Today, this bright jewel


tone has become Le Creusets signature colour, in addition to a rainbow of other colours
that its cookware comes in. The flame-coloured casserole dish was first invented in 1925,
a time when France was leading the world
in reinventing modern cuisine.
It is why cooks around the world feel so
passionate about our products. They trust
our quality, but they also treasure us for
the colour and joy that Le Creuset helps
them create in their kitchens, said Paul van
Zudyam, chairman of Le Creuset.
To celebrate its 90th anniversary, Le Creuset is launching a limited-edition replica

Nothing would
be more tiresome
than eating and
drinking if God
had not made
them a pleasure as
well as a necessity.

of its original product, creating an online


time capsule initiative while hosting celebrations worldwide. An impressive 1,925
pieces of the original Le Creuset cast iron
cocotte (casserole) dishes have been made
in honour of the companys founding. This
cocotte features many of the design details
still found on current Le Creuset cookware
a testament to Le Creusets timeless style
and craftsmanship.
The Le Creuset 90th anniversary cocotte is
available at its main store at LG075, Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur, and is priced at
RM2,300. For more information, visit www.

China stocks rebounded for the second day


yesterday, in a further sign of improving investor sentiment that may help the market gradually stabilise after the rout since mid-June.
The CSI300 index of the largest listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen rose 0.9%,
to 3,339.03, while the Shanghai Composite
Index gained 0.92%, to 3,185.62 points.
Chinas volatility index, a gauge of investor fears, has dropped to 40% from an August
peak of 64%. But some analysts warn that the
rebound could be temporary as valuations
of small stocks are still high, and the Chinese
economy has yet to find its feet.
Chinas President Xi Jinping told the Wall
Street Journal in an interview that developing
capital markets was a key goal of Chinas reforms, which will not change just because of
current market volatility.
China is advancing changes to make the
yuan convertible on the capital account in a
steady and orderly manner, Xi was quoted
as saying ahead of a visit to the United States.
Reform of the renminbi (RMB) exchange
rate formation regime will continue in the direction of market operation, he said.
With improvement to the RMB exchange
rate regime and progress in RMB internationalisation, it is quite normal that Chinas foreign
reserves may increase or decrease, and there
is no need to overreact to it, he said.

European shares closed higher on Monday, buoyed by stronger healthcare, bank


and chemical stocks, although a slump in
carmaker Volkswagen held back the German market.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300
index and the eurozones blue-chip Euro
STOXX 50 index ended up 0.99% and 0.86%
respectively.
Volkswagen shares fell as much as 22.8%,
their biggest ever one-day fall, on news that
Europes largest carmaker had rigged US
emissions tests, and Germany said it would
investigate whether data had been falsified
in Europe too.
Volkswagen launched an investigation
into the matter and the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) said it could face
penalties of up to US$18 billion.
The commencement of legal proceedings
against VW by the US EPA is profoundly serious, analysts at Bernstein wrote in a note.
The drop in Volkswagen affected other auto
stocks, with BMW and Daimler down over 1%,
while overall Germanys DAX rose only 0.33%,
underperforming its European peers.
Traders said European equities had rebounded from last weeks losses triggered
by the US Federal Reserves downbeat comments about the global economy, yet the
underlying trend remained uncertain.

Top UK shares gained on Monday but underperformed a stronger rally across Europe, after takeover talks for insurer RSA fell
through and mining stocks suffered another
bout of selling.
The FTSE 100 was up 0.1% at 6,108.71
points at its close after falling in the previous two sessions. Pan-European equities
were up 1.1%.
Mining and commodities stocks Glencore, Anglo American and Antofagasta fell
by 2% to 5.6%. The UK FTSE 100 index is
exposed to the sector, which has been hit
by turmoil in emerging markets, a sell-off
in commodities and US dollar strength.
Even though a lot of people are looking
at the miners ... and saying, is there any
opportunity to get back in?, to us its still
a sector to stay away [from] for now, said
Matthew Brennan, UK company analyst at
Brown Shipley.
Uncertainty over the timing of a US interest-rate hike was keeping up pressure on
emerging-market-exposed stocks, he said.
RSA Insurance plunged 20.8% after Zurich
Insurance Group abandoned its proposed
5.6 billion bid for the British insurer.
What you are likely to see is consolidation in the sector, said Brown Shipleys
Brennan. If RSA isnt involved in that, then
obviously you could see margins squeezed.

US stocks ended higher on Monday, rebounding from losses late last week with
help from Apple and financial shares, but a
drop in biotech shares limited the advance.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
125.61 points, or 0.77%, to 16,510.19, the
S&P 500 gained 8.94 points, or 0.46%, to
1,966.97 and the Nasdaq Composite added
1.73 points, or 0.04%, to 4,828.96.
Shares of biotech companies fell after US
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton said she would announce a plan to
stop price gouging for specialty drugs.
Biogen fell 5.6% to US$297.16 and Gilead
was down 2.5% at US$105.74.
The S&P healthcare sector fell 1.4% and
was the only S&P 500 sector index to end lower. The Nasdaq biotech index slumped 4.4%.
Financial shares bounced back after
losing ground following last Thursdays US
Federal Reserve decision to keep rates unchanged. The S&P financial index was up
1.1%. But trading was volatile, continuing
the recent trend, with both the S&P 500 and
Nasdaq in negative territory earlier.
We had a rebound from last Fridays selling... though there still is among investors a
high level of uncertainty as to what the Fed
statement meant, said Bucky Hellwig, senior
vice president at BB&T Wealth Management
in Birmingham, Alabama. Agencies

US dollar hits near two-week


high on revived rate hike bets
The US dollar hit an almost two-week high
against a basket of currencies yesterday after
comments from US Federal Reserve (Fed)
officials revived expectations that US interest rates will still be hiked later this year.
The greenback has bounced back over
2% since lows hit last Friday in the wake of
the Feds decision not to raise interest rates,
and its paring back of US growth forecasts.
Though some now do not expect a raise
in rates until early next year, about half are
betting on a rise in October or December.
In stark contrast, expectations for the
European Central Bank and Bank of Japan
are growing that they could expand their
respective stimulus programmes. That is
driving down the euro and yen, boosting
the greenback further. The single currency
fell 0.1% yesterday to US$1.11825. Reuters

US crop rating, rapid harvest
Chicago soybean futures edged lower yesterday, falling for four out of five sessions
with pressure from a US government report
which showed improved crop rating and a
rapid pace of harvest.
Wheat eased as the market took a breather after strong gains in the last two sessions
on short covering. Chicago Board of Trade
November soybeans slid 0.3% to US$8.71 a
bushel, having firmed 0.8% on Monday after
three previous losing sessions.
December corn fell 0.3% to US$3.83 a
bushel, having gained 1.9% on Monday and
wheat eased 0.3% to US$4.95 a bushel after
adding 3.2% in the last two sessions.
US crop ratings have improved and the
harvest is progressing well, there is no issue
with near-term supplies, said Paul Deane,
senior agricultural economist at Australia
and New Zealand Bank. Reuters

points, on losses in stocks like Public Bank Bhd and Kuala
Lumpur Kepong Bhd. Both stocks ended among Bursa Malaysias top decliners.
