Fifty-two websites
blocked since January
14 social media abuse cases investigated by MCMC
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian
Communications and Multimedia
Commission (MCMC) has blocked
52 new media websites and investigated 14 social media abuse cases
since the setting up of the Special
Committee to Combat Abuse of
Social Media in January.
Deputy Communications and
Multimedia Minister Datuk Jailani
Johari said yesterday the aim of the
committee, chaired by Communications and Multimedia Minister
Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak,
and comprising the Royal Malaysia
Police, MCMC and Attorney-General’s Chambers, was to strengthen
the Internet and new media regulatory mechanism.
“The special committee was set
up to ensure firm action is imposed
on those who use social media to sow
hatred against government institutions, and to prevent social media
from sparking chaos via the dissemination of lies, hatred and religious
extremism,” he told Dewan Rakyat.
Jailani was answering a question
from Datuk Sapawi Ahmad Wasali
(Barisan Nasional-Sipitang), who
had asked about the steps taken by
the ministry to curb social media
abuse, especially on the WhatsApp
application, that triggers anxiety
and worry among the public, especially relating to security.
Overall, he said, as of February,
22 cases were investigated by the
MCMC for Internet and new media
abuse, and 399 sites were blocked.
He said the websites that were
blocked included those on gambling,
cheating and prostitution, those with
pornographic content, those put up in
bad taste and fake sites. — Bernama

China sends world markets sliding
PARIS: World stock markets sank
deep into the red yesterday, as China released data showing another
hefty slump in exports, sparking
renewed worries over the nation’s
powerhouse economy.
China’s exports dived more than
a quarter year-on-year in February,
new data showed yesterday, while
imports were almost 14% off — far
worse than forecast.
“That shocking slide in exports
was joined by a similarly weak, if
not quite as alarming, drop in imports — combine the two together
and it is the kind of ugly reminder
of China’s spluttering economy
investors certainly do not need at
the moment,” said analyst Connor
Campbell at trading firm Spreadex.
In reaction, most Asian markets
fell, with investors also cashing in
after enjoying their best rally so
far this year.
Hong Kong retreated 0.7% and
Tokyo dropped 0.8%, but Shanghai
reversed initial heavy falls to eke
out slender gains.
See related story on Page 19
The gloom spilled over into Europe, with Frankfurt and Paris shedding 1.2% and 1.3% respectively,
while London lost 0.8%.
“Equity markets [are] in the red
again, with disappointing overnight Chinese trade data showing
plunging February exports serving
to spook investors who are already
concerned about the state of global
growth,” said head of research Mike
van Dulken at Accendo Markets.
“The market reaction is in stark
contrast to the habitual cheering
about bad data implying more stimulus, and the Lunar New Year may
explain the big drop.”
Mining stocks were the hardest-hit sector on demand jitters because China is a leading consumer
of most raw materials.
In London, resources giant Anglo American saw its share price
tumble 9.3% to 569.70 pence
(RM33.29), topping the FTSE 100
fallers’ board. — AFP

Indonesia’s BCA to hold
back expansion due to
margin squeeze
JAKARTA: Indonesia’s biggest
bank by market value Bank Central Asia (BCA) said it would hold
back some expansion plans this
year after regulators announced
a series of measures that will
lower banks’ margins, its top
executive said yesterday. The
government is targeting lowering banks’ lending rate for companies to 9% by the end of this
year from the current average
of 12%, including by capping
the maximum rate banks pay
for savings. Forcing banks to offer low credit rates by reducing
costs of funding can pressure
banks’ margins, BCA president
director Jahja Setiaatmadja said.
BCA’s net interest margin may
fall 50-70 bps this year from 6.7
percentage points at end-2015
due to the measures, creating
a “challenging” profit environment for 2016, he said. — Reuters
Tycoon Oei lodges case
against Goldman Sachs
Publisher and Group CEO Ho Kay Tat
EDITORIAL ADMINISTRATION
IN BRIEF
LONDON: Exiting the European
Union could hurt Britain's US$2.9
trillion (RM11.89 trillion) economy and prompt some banks to
abandon London's global financial powerhouse, Bank of England
(BoE) Governor Mark Carney said
yesterday.
In his strongest intervention so
far in Britain’s debate about EU
membership, Carney said he was
not making any recommendation
about how to vote in the June 23 referendum but that uncertainty created by an exit could hurt Britain.
Asked about the implications of
an exit for Britain's huge banking
industry, he said some major finan-
cial institutions were considering a
possible move if the country voted
to leave the EU.
“One would expect some activity
to move," Carney told lawmakers
in the British parliament. “I’d say
a number of institutions are contingency planning for that possibility.” — Reuters
SINGAPORE: Tycoon Oei Hong
Leong is pursuing his case
against banking giant Goldman
Sachs over “exotic” currency
trades that resulted in losses
of US$34 million (RM139.40
million). The Straits Times report said that the latest move,
to lodge a complaint with the
United States Commodity Trading Futures Commission, had
resulted in the commission issuing a letter on Jan 29, asking
Goldman Sachs to respond to
Oei’s complaint. The bank can
either make a monetary settlement or respond to the complaint. The deadline given by
the commission was Feb 29. It is
understood that Goldman Sachs
asked for an extension of time.
OECD flags easing growth
in advanced economies
PARIS: Major advanced economies are seeing growth rates
cool while the outlook is stabilising in China, the Organisation
for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) said yesterday. The outlook for Russia
and Brazil is worsening, it said.
The Paris-based organisation
said its January monthly composite leading indicators, which
are supposed to capture economic turning points, flagged
“signs of easing growth” in the
34 advanced economies belonging to the club. — Reuters
Zika ‘link’ to paralysing
myelitis — researchers
PARIS: The Zika virus, suspected
of causing brain damage in babies and a neurological disorder
in adults, has also been linked to
the paralysing myelitis disorder,
French researchers said yesterday. A 15-year-old girl diagnosed
with acute myelitis in Guadeloupe in January, had high levels of Zika in her cerebrospinal
fluid, said Annie Lannuzel of
the University Hospital Center
Pointe-a-Pitre in Guadeloupe —
the first-ever published “proof
of a link” between the virus and
the disease. — AFP

Sona seeks institutional
shareholders to back QA
Their support is critical to the SPAC
BY KAMARUL AZHAR
KUALA LUMPUR: Sona Petroleum
Bhd, which will seek shareholders’
approval for its proposed qualifying acquisition (QA) on March 30,
is currently engaging with its institutional shareholders to convince
them of the merits of the deal.
The support of the institutional shareholders, who collectively
hold a 30% stake in Sona, is critical
of the special-purpose acquisition
company (SPAC).
The proposed QA is subject to
prior approval by a majority in the
number of shareholders representing at least 75% of the total value
of the issued shares held by those
present and voting at the extraordinary general meeting.
“We have been actively convincing our shareholders that they stand
to gain from this deal. There are
various spectrums of the investing
public. Some want long-term gain;
some want short-term gain.
“Engagement has been made and
they liked the deal, because we are
buying at a lower price, that there are
rooms for further optimisation, and
oil price is trending upwards [now].
“But there are people who are
affected by margin calls; there is
nothing we can do,” said Sona managing director Datuk Seri Hadian
Hashim in an interview yesterday.
Sona’s share price was mostly
hovering between 41 sen and 44
sen in 2015. The stock has climbed
to 46.5 sen recently — the highest
level since November 2014. It closed
at 46 sen yesterday.
Some institutional funds snapped
up shares in SPACs after the sharp
fall in late 2014 as these stocks, in-
cluding Sona, were trading below
their cash per share. Sona’s cash per
share in its trust account is 45 sen.
The rationale of the investments is
to gain from the difference between
the cash per share and market value,
instead of the prospects of QA. They
are aware that investment risks will
rise after the QA.
Sona had managed to obtain the
Securities Commission Malaysia’s
(SC) approval for its proposed QA,
which had noted that the purchase
price was not fair at US$50 million
(RM205 million). Later, Sona halved
the price to US$25 million, taking
into account the crude price crash
that has eroded the valuations of
oil assets worldwide.
The SC, meanwhile, had rejected
Cliq Energy Bhd’s QA proposal in
January, which led to the liquidation of the SPAC.
FGV’s Emir: I don’t think
we are acquiring too much
BY TA N SI EW MU NG
KUALA LUMPUR: Felda Global
Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGV), the
world’s largest producer of crude
palm oil (CPO), has dismissed concerns that it is embarking on too
many acquisitions since its listing
in 2012.
“I don’t think we are acquiring
too much ... we have not acquired
anything yet. It is still in discussion,”
FGV group president and chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Emir
Mavani Abdullah told reporters on
the sidelines of the Palm and Lauric Oils Conference and Exhibition
2016 here yesterday.
He was referring to the group’s
latest proposed acquisition of a
55% stake in China-based Zhong
Ling Nutril-Oil Holdings Ltd for
RM976.25 million, which is subject
to shareholders’ approval.
Mohd Emir said he is confident
the deal will get rubber-stamped
as the profit margin generated by
Zhong Ling, which manufactures
peanut oil in China, is about 20%.
“I am very confident that shareholders will approve it if they see
the number ... the profit margin is
20%. So, why not?” he asked.
FGV in its first announcement
on Feb 26 stated that the proposed
acquisition did not require consent
from its shareholders. However,
on Monday, FGV said it had been
issued a written letter by Bursa Securities stating otherwise.
Mohd Emir said the proposed acquisition is in line with FGV’s plan to
expand further into the downstream
market, noting that Zhong Ling is

one of the top 10 largest edible oil
producers in the world.
“We want to tap into the edible
oil business, where the margin is
higher, at about 20% in China,” he
added.
Mohd Emir said the proposed
acquisition will also help balance
FGV’s upstream and downstream
businesses, where it is currently
heavier on the upstream.
Post-listing, FGV has completed
major brownfield acqusitions such
as Pontian United Plantations Bhd at
RM1.2 billion, RM2.2 billion for the
remaining 51% stake in Felda Holdings Bhd and Asian Plantations Ltd
for £120 million (RM703.31 million).
Since mid-2015, the group has
also been in negotiations on the
acquisition of a 37% stake in PT
Eagle High Plantations Tbk — the
third-largest plantation group listed in Jakarta — for US$680 million
(RM2.79 billion). In January, its
chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul
Samad was quoted as saying that the
deal would be settled by this month.
The deal also involves FGV acquiring Rajawali’s sugar plantations
for US$67 million.
Mohd Emir, however, declined
to comment on the deal. “Once
we acquire, we will let you know.”
The proposed acquisition of
Zhong Ling, which is a Cayman Islands-incorporated firm, has raised
eyebrows. Some quarters question
the rush for FGV to propose another acquisition abroad so soon,
when its plan to buy Eagle High is
still pending.
On CPO export tax, which is likely to be enforced in April, Emir said
it will be an impact on Malaysia’s
overall plantation sector. As such,
he is hopeful that the government
will relook into the policy.
FGV shares closed three sen
or 2.03% lower at RM1.45 yesterday, with a market capitalisation
of RM5.29 billion. The counter has
fallen by 68% from its initial public
offering price of RM4.55 per share.
To recap, Sona’s QA is to buy
100% stake in Stag oilfield located
offshore Western Australia. Stag oilfield produced about 4,500 barrels
of oil per day (bpd) in 2015, and has
a 17.2 million standard barrel of
proven and probable (2P) reserves.
“The producing oilfield will provide Sona with sustainable ongoing
revenue potential for growth. The
current production of around 4,000
bpd will be enhanced to as high as
over 5,000 bpd in 2018 by Sona’s development plans over 2016 to 2018.
“This reflects the oilfield’s potential
to deliver long-term value. The first
phase of development will cost A$47
million (RM143.78 million), while
the second phase will cost A$100
million. Sona plans to utilise its IPO
(initial public offering) proceeds and
internally generated funds for these
development costs,” said Hadian.
Hadian: There are various spectrums of
the investing public. Some want longterm gain; some want short-term gain.

At the purchase price of US$25
million for 17.2 million standard
barrel of 2P reserves, the reserve
is valued at US$1.45 per barrel,
said Hadian.
According to independent technical and asset valuation expert
Gaffney, Cline and Associates (Consultants) Pte Ltd, the operating cost
per barrel of the Stag oilfield is estimated at US$30.80 per barrel.
“This is an opportune moment
as the current low-price environment provided us with an opportunity to purchase the asset at such
a highly competitive price. With oil
prices inching up, we are cautiously optimistic that the environment
will become more profitable for upstream players soon,” said Hadian.
Multi-Usage to take action on
findings of special audit report
BY B IL LY TO H
KUALA LUMPUR: The special audit initiated by the board of Multi-Usage Holdings Bhd (MUH)
shows that a special-purpose vehicle (SPV) called Wealthy Achiever Sdn Bhd is connected to certain
directors.
In an announcement to Bursa
Malaysia, MUH said it will take
action on the findings of the special audit report after consultation with legal adviser Messr Izral
Partnership.
The board will also deliberate
on the findings of the special audit
report at a board meeting tomorrow to determine if the report has
any legal, financial and operational
impact on the company.
The special audit shows that the
SPV made an estimated profit of
RM10.4 million from the company’s
debt restructuring exercise in 2009.
According to a filing with Bursa
Malaysia yesterday, the findings
of the special audit included the
following:
• The five properties, which were
used to set off RM1.2 million of debt
owing to the SPV arising from the
restructuring exercise, appeared to
have been sold earlier to a third party.
• The payment of RM4.9 million
to the financial institution on behalf
of the SPV was made by a company
related to certain directors, said the
announcement.
• A director of MUH had signed
SPV’s general cash voucher and
letter (containing SPV’s cheque
information) issued to a financial
institution.
• An amount owing by MUH
to SPV of RM520,000 was set off
against a property purchased by
a son of a director and was eventually transferred to the director’s
brother-in-law.
• The SPV also helped a certain
director of MUH settle his personal
guarantee with a financial institution and a previous director of the
SPV is the brother-in-law of one of
MUH’s directors.
• The SPV had instructed MUH
to repay RM1.7 million to specific parties. Of the RM1.7 million,
RM1.4 million was made to a third
party and a company connected to
a son of a director as instructed.
On complaints about benefiting
from a position as director during
acquisition of properties from MUH,
the special audit shows that a director of MUH and his brother acquired
five properties from a subsidiary of
MUH in 2002 and 2007. However,
the payment was not made in accordance to the terms stipulated in
the sale and purchase agreements.
The payment was later set off
with the amount owing to the director by MUH. Announcements of
the related-party transactions were
only made on June 18 and 19, 2015.
Based on terms of the agreements,
the estimated interest on late payment chargeable amounted to approximately RM104,395.
On the suspect of possible falsification of company documents
to obtain information from a third
party, the special audit reveals that
the letterhead used by a director
to request for information from a
bank is different from the current
official letterhead used by MUH.
“The requisitionists who signed
as directors of the subsidiary had
in fact resigned as directors of the
subsidiary as of the date of the letter,” said the announcement.

Total Sports Asia to boost
Bukit Jalil sports complex’s value
Hospitality suites and branding opportunities will be made available
BY SU PRI YA SU REN DRAN
KUALA LUMPUR: Total Sports Asia
(TSA), a pioneer in the sports marketing industry in Asia, has been
appointed by Malaysia Stadium
Corporation (PSM) to strategise
and oversee the commercialisation of Kuala Lumpur Sports City
(KL Sports City), which will include
the redevelopment of Bukit Jalil
National Sports Complex.
In a statement yesterday, TSA said
its role is to develop new commercial
opportunities, including name rights
to KL Sports City, and the individual
venues, including the National Stadium and Putra Stadium.
In addition, new hospitality suites, and other licensing and
branding opportunities will be available for corporate clients, it said.
PSM chief executive officer
(CEO) Azman Fahmi Osman said
the partnership with TSA will help
achieve PSM’s vision in regenerating Bukit Jalil National Sports Com-

City.
plex by increasing its commercial
value, finding the right corporate
partners to generate new revenue
streams and becoming a model
for other stadiums in the country.
TSA group CEO Marcus Luer
said the company is excited to work
with PSM and Malaysian Resources
Corp Bhd, whose subsidiary Rukun
Juang Sdn Bhd is responsible for
the ongoing redevelopment of the
National Stadium.
“Our benchmarks are the best
sports-entertainment complexes
in the world and Kuala Lumpur
will finally have one to call its own.
“We will bring in best practices
from around the world, from the
O2 in London to the Staples Centre
in Los Angeles, and will customise
unique partnership opportunities
for companies here in Malaysia,”
said Luer.
He added that potential partners
will see huge value in the KL Sports
City project quickly, as it will provide a whole new way of thinking
in terms of branding and customer
engagement.
The ongoing redevelopment of
the National Stadium by Rukun
Juang is the first phase of the development of KL Sports City.
Phase 1 includes targeted works
on Putra Stadium and the National
Hockey Stadium that will improve
integration to the current and existing public transportation links, and
increase access across the site. Once
completed, the redeveloped stadium
will host the SEA Games in 2017.
Phase 2, which will commence
in early 2018, will create a fully integrated sports hub, consisting of
new, world-class infrastructure
including elite sports training facilities, a sports rehabilitation science centre, a youth park, public
sports facilities, a sports museum,
youth hostel, convention centre and
sports-focused retail mall.
Bursa to lift
palm oil
options trading
SINGAPORE: Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Bhd plans to boost palm oil
options trading following a recent
increase in demand from financial
institutions and producers, a senior
exchange official said yesterday.
The open interest in crude palm
oil (CPO) options has climbed to
more than 6,000 contracts earlier
this year from negligible levels in
2015, “which is very encouraging”, K
Sree Kumar, acting chief executive
of Bursa Malaysia Derivatives told
Reuters in an interview.
“It can grow into a retail contract
very soon; we have to step up,” he
said. “This will be across all our options products; we have an option
for the index as well.”
Bursa launched options in 2012,
but it has struggled to boost volumes until the last few months. It
now plans to promote participation
from retail investors.
Bursa, which runs the global
benchmark CPO contract, expects
to see growth of about 10% in traded
volumes in 2016 from last year, he said
on the sidelines of the industry conference organised by the exchange.
The 2016 growth is “almost similar to what we had last year and we
are confident as we see the volumes
are very encouraging this year”, Sree
Kumar said. — Reuters

‘Contingency plan
in place if oil prices
stay below US$20’
Crude most sensitive indicator of Malaysia’s budget, says Najib
BY C H EN SHAUA F UI
KUALA LUMPUR: The government
will implement a contingency plan
should crude oil prices consistently
fall below the US$20 (RM82) per barrel level, said Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Najib Razak.
He said crude oil prices are the
most sensitive indicator of Malaysia’s budget.
“If oil prices consistently fall below
the US$20 per barrel level, we will implement a contingency plan,” Najib
told Parliament yesterday. He was
replying to a supplementary question from Kuala Kangsar member
of parliament Datuk Wan Mohammad Khair-il Anuar Wan Ahmad who
had asked about the government’s
preparation in facing the challenging
economic environment.
However, the finance minister
noted that crude oil prices are al-
ready strengthening and trading at
around US$40 per barrel.
“The value of our ringgit is also
strong at the level of four against the
US dollar today (yesterday).
“It appears that our [economic]
fundamentals are getting better.
Hopefully, this environment and
situation will continue. The government will continue to monitor
the latest development thoroughly,” he said.
Najib unveiled a recalibrated
Budget 2016 on Jan 28, in the face
of a fall in crude oil prices. The revised budget is now based on Brent
crude at US$30 to US$35 per barrel
from US$48 per barrel previously.
Najib said the government will
not cancel or reduce the projects
approved under Budget 2016 and
the 11th Malaysia Plan, especially
programmes that are people-centric, as well as projects with a high
multiplier impact on the economy.
“It is more about adjusting the
cash flow by reallocating the funds
for a project or a development programme.
“As a caring government, although
we are faced with lower income following the fall in global crude oil
prices, we will make sure that our
expenditures are optimised, and the
implementation of programmes and
high-impact projects will continue,”
he also said.
He added that the finance ministry had come up with guidelines
on measures to optimise the government’s expenditure on March 1.
The guidelines are to ensure
that all the heads of government
agencies manage their resources
effectively, and re-prioritise their
programmes and projects so that
they are more effective and in line
with the national agenda.
Chin Hin makes impressive
debut on Bursa
BY C H ESTER TAY
KUALA LUMPUR: Chin Hin Group
Bhd, which expects double-digit
profit growth in 2016, saw its share
price shoot up as much as 28% over
its initial public offering (IPO) price
of 65 sen during its maiden trading
day, making it among the top 10
gainers on Bursa Malaysia yesterday.
The building material supplier’s
share price opened at 81 sen and
climbed to an intraday high of 83.5
sen. The stock finished at 82 sen with
a trading volume of 122.5 million
shares — the second most traded
counter on the stock exchange.
Chin Hin’s IPO entailed a public
issue of 63.2 million new shares and
an offer for sale of 65 million existing shares at 65 sen each to raise
RM41.08 million.
Speaking to reporters after Chin
Hin’s listing ceremony yesterday, the
group’s managing director Chiau
Haw Choon said the management
is expecting double-digit net profit
growth in the financial year ending
Dec 31, 2016 (FY16).
He said Chin Hin would see “significant” growth in FY16, driven
mainly by its manufacturing division. “Our G-cast concrete and AAC
(autoclaved aerated concrete) are
applicable to infrastructure building, so we expect that sales of these
products would grow significantly
this year (FY16),” he said.

director and chief financial officer Lee Hai Ping and non-executive director Yeoh Chin
Hoe during the company’s maiden trading day yesterday. Photo by Shahrin Yahya
Chiau added that despite the
softer property market, Chin Hin’s
growth will be supported by firm demand in the infrastructure segment.
Asked if the group is facing a rising cost burden due to the weakening ringgit, he explained that Chin
Hin sources most of its raw materials
locally, thus the impact is expected
to be minimal.
“In fact, even when it comes to
labour cost, we also expect very
minimal impact from the increased
levy. This is because we have been
using advanced machinery in our
production line, so most parts of
the manufacturing line are automated,” he said.
Meanwhile, Chiau revealed that
the group is ramping up its export
sales, and having a target of RM40
million turnover, to overseas in FY16,
from about RM20 million for FY15.
For FY15, Chin Hin posted a
slight gain of 0.12% in net profit to
RM30.22 million, from RM30.19
million previously, though revenue
slipped 1.66% to RM1.2 billion from
RM1.22 billion in FY14.
Chin Hin attributed the drop in
revenue to lower turnover from its
distribution segment, as a result
of softening housing construction
activities in 2015, though this was
offset by its manufacturing segment,
which enjoyed a higher margin.

Bumi Armada to initiate legal action
over FPSO contract termination
BY SUPRIYA SURENDRAN
KUALA LUMPUR: Maintaining
that the sudden termination of its
floating production, storage and
offloading (FPSO) contract in the
Balnaves field off north-western
Australia is not valid, Bumi Armada Bhd said the group will pursue
the matter in court.
It told Bursa Malaysia last Friday
its wholly-owned subsidiary Armada Balnaves Pte Ltd (ABPL) had
received a notice from Woodside
Energy Julimar Pty Ltd to terminate
the contract in relation to the charter of the Armada Claire vessel.
Replying to queries from the
exchange yesterday, Bumi Armada
said ABPL intends to fully enforce
its rights under the contract, including initiating legal proceedings, against Woodside for the
“unlawful purported termination”.
It said the contract is governed
by the laws of Western Australia and legal remedies, including
damages for breach of contract,
will be sought in court.
“It would not be appropriate to
provide further comments at this
stage,” it said, adding that it will,
however, disclose the relevant details at the appropriate time.
According to the company, the
Armada Claire has been operating
in the Balnaves field since delivering its first oil in August 2014.
“The contract is for an initial
fixed term charter of four years
expiring in August 2018, with options for four annual extensions,
[and] was valued at approximately RM 1.46 billion,” it said, adding
that the purported termination is
not expected to have any material impact on the operations of the
group’s other FPSO vessels.
However, it said last Friday the
termination is expected to have an
impact on the financial results for
the year ending Dec 31, 2016, the
extent of which cannot be conclusively ascertained at this juncture
as it will depend on the outcome of
the legal action against Woodside.
‘M’sia-based institutions can invest
directly in Chinese capital market’
BY SANGEETHA AMARTHALINGAM
KUAL A LUMPUR : Malaysia-based institutions can now
invest directly in the Chinese capital market using yuan funds, following the issuance by the Malaysian authorities of a guidance
note to facilitate applications to
the China Securities Regulatory
Commission (CSRC).
Jointly issued by Bank Negara
Malaysia (BNM) and the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC),
the guidance note is to facilitate
the process of obtaining a Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (RQFII) licence,
which is available now, said BNM
in a statement yesterday.
The guidance note outlines the
criteria and eligible entities that
may apply for the RQFII licence,
and additional requirements by
the SC and/or BNM prior to any
application submission to the
CSRC.
The guidance note is pursuant
to the People’s Bank of China’s
recognition of Malaysia as an
RQFII jurisdiction with an aggregate quota of 50 billion yuan
on Nov 23 last year.
“With this, Malaysia-based institutions are now able to invest
directly in the Chinese capital
market using renminbi funds.
“The RQFII programme creates
opportunities for qualified Malaysian institutions to offer a wider
range of renminbi (yuan) investment products and will serve as an
avenue for greater utilisation of offshore renminbi funds,” said BNM.

Ex-Goldman banker
linked to 1MDB said to
be subpoenaed in US
FBI’s New York office is leading the investigation — source
NEW YORK: A former Goldman
Sachs Group Inc banker has become
entangled in a sprawling investigation of the Malaysian state investment fund as US authorities turn to
him for information.
Tim Leissner was issued a subpoena about the matter in late February,
according to three people briefed on
the matter, just days after Goldman
Sachs confirmed he had left the firm.
Leissner, a German national, was
most recently chairman of the firm’s
Southeast Asia operations, but had
taken personal leave and relocated
to Los Angeles early this year, according to people with knowledge
of the move.
From Malaysia to Switzerland to
the United States, investigators have
been trying to trace whether money
might have flowed out of the fund and
illegally into personal accounts. Accusations have boomeranged and have
been said to be politically motivated
even as authorities outside Malaysia
press ahead with their inquiries.
Prosecutors in the US Justice Department’s kleptocracy asset-recovery unit are investigating whether
funds were embezzled from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)
by politically connected people in
Malaysia, the people said. The US
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s
(FBI) New York office is leading the
investigation and is trying to determine if any US law was broken, according to one of the people briefed
on the subpoena issued to Leissner.
At this point, it is unclear what
information Leissner might be able
to provide. Leissner’s attorney, Jonathan Cogan of Kobre & Kim, didn’t
respond to a phone call and email
requesting comment. At a Beverly
Hills, California residence linked in
public records to Leissner’s family,
a woman who answered the intercom said Leissner wasn’t at home.
He didn’t respond to written questions left there.
At the Justice Department, spokesman Peter Carr declined to comment,
as did Kelly Langmesser, a spokesman for the FBI’s New York office.
Leissner had championed a series
of bond sales that raised US$6.5 billion (RM26.65 billion) for the Malaysian fund and were notable for the
above-average fees generated for
Goldman. Since the fund’s beginning in 2009, controversy has raged
over whether money was spent as
intended for local projects like a financial centre in Kuala Lumpur or
siphoned off for personal benefit.
The finger-pointing within Malaysia
intensified with the early 2015 news
report that the fund had missed a
loan payment, which it later paid.

an outside law firm to conduct an internal examination and is reviewing
its own role in helping 1MDB raise
capital, according to two of the people. There is no indication that Goldman engaged in any wrongdoing,
according to the two. The bank is
cooperating with the Justice Department’s efforts to gather information,
they said.
Michael DuVally, a spokesman
for Goldman, declined to comment.
Putting its own capital at risk,
Goldman earned commissions and
expenses of US$593 million for its
role in issuing bonds for 1MDB, or
more than 9% of the proceeds, well
above the industry norm.
Citing its policy not to discuss personnel matters, Goldman declined
to provide any information about
the departure of Leissner, who had
worked at the firm for 18 years and is
married to former US fashion model
and designer Kimora Lee Simmons.
Leissner was named head of investment banking in Singapore in
August 2002, and became a partner in 2006. He was instrumental in
building business in Malaysia and
the region.
Singapore’s central bank, the
Monetary Authority of Singapore
(MAS), said in an emailed statement
that it was “cooperating actively with
several jurisdictions” in the case. The
MAS said that Leissner left the city
state in 2011, and that while Goldman Sachs announced in 2014 that
he would move back to Singapore
as the bank’s chairman of Southeast
Asia, the move never happened.
Since Prime Minister Datuk Seri
Najib Razak started 1MDB seven
years ago, the fund’s debt levels have
swelled amid allegations of financial
irregularities lodged by opposition
officials. The fund, whose advisory
board is chaired by Najib, said in
February 2015 that it would wind
down its assets.
The prime minister has said accusations of misappropriations are
politically motivated and has denied
any wrongdoing. The allegations have
sparked a feud with former premier
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who
has called for Najib to step down, cit-
ing what he characterised as Najib’s
mismanagement of the economy as
well as 1MDB.
In July last year, the Malaysian
attorney-general (AG) said a special task force investigating 1MDB
looked into deposits into Najib’s bank
account amounting to hundreds of
millions of dollars ahead of the 2013
general election. The prime minister said the funds were not used for
private benefit and the AG said the
money was a political contribution
from the Saudi royal family.
The AG said Najib had returned
US$620 million to the Saudi donors.
In January, AG Tan Sri Mohamed
Apandi Ali, cleared Najib of any corruption charges related to the Saudi
donation.
Representatives of 1MDB have
denied transferring funds to Najib’s
personal accounts. Najib’s office,
the AG’s office and the country’s anti-graft agency were not immediately
available for comment. A spokesman
for 1MDB referred queries to a February statement that the fund had
not been contacted by any foreign
legal authority on matters related
to the company.
Investigators outside Malaysia
are still trying to trace where money from the investment funds might
have gone to. The Swiss AG froze
accounts holding tens of millions of
dollars last year as part of a criminal
investigation into whether US$4 billion was embezzled from state-linked
Malaysian companies, with some of
it making its way into Swiss accounts
of former Malaysian officials.
“The monies believed to have
been misappropriated would have
been earmarked for investment in
economic and social development
projects in Malaysia,” the Swiss
authority said in a statement in
January.
The Swiss officials asked for assistance from Malaysia, and subsequently said the prime minister
wasn’t one of the public officials
accused in the matter.
The MAS said in February that
it froze a large number of accounts
linked to possible money laundering
of 1MDB funds. — Bloomberg
NEWS IN BRIEF
Visa partners Maybank to launch
new payment service
BY C H E S T E R TAY
KUALA LUMPUR: Visa Inc has
launched its streamlined online
payment service in Malaysia to
facilitate online purchase for
its customers by using a set of
log-in username and password,
instead of a series of personal
data and 16-digit credit-card
numbers.
Dubbed “Visa Checkout”, it is
designed to improve the digital
shopping experience by making
the payment process remain secure, while reducing the number
of steps required to complete an
online purchase. Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) is the first
bank in Malaysia to enrol Visa
cardholders for the service and
offer Visa Checkout acceptance
to merchants across the country.
“We have partnered with several key merchants in Malaysia
as part of our launch and we’re
confident consumers will embrace Visa Checkout across all
their devices,” Visa country manager for Malaysia Ng Kong Boon
told reporters at the launching
ceremony yesterday.
Ng also said that Visa is aim-
ing to increase the number of
merchants that allow customers
to make online purchases via
Visa Checkout in Malaysia to
100 firms by the end of this year.
Maybank head of wealth,
cards and payments B Ravintharan said as online purchases
are increasing, this collaboration
not only delivers a better experience for consumers, but also
helps merchants increase the
number of successful transactions made online.
Visa Checkout is now accepted at a myriad of online merchants in Malaysia, including
GSC Cinema, Superbuy.com,
SweetSpot Digital, Little Whiz,
Twenty3, Avenue86 and CUTI.
“With Visa Checkout, GSC
customers can enjoy greater convenience and discounted prices
of RM8 per normal cinema ticket when they pay online using
their Visa cards from March 11
to June 3. Visa Checkout is currently available in our online
ticketing and will be extended
to the GSC Mobile App in the
future,” Golden Screen Cinemas
Sdn Bhd general manager Irving
Chee said.
No decision made yet on plain
packaging — health minister
BY C H E N S H AUA F UI
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has
not decided whether to make
plain packaging of tobacco products a policy, Health Minister
Datuk Seri S Subramaniam said.
He said discussions are still
ongoing on the matter.
“We have not made any decision yet,” he told The Edge Financial Daily in the Parliament
lobby yesterday.
On Feb 25, the Confederation
of Malaysian Tobacco Manufacturers comprising British American Tobacco (Malaysia) Bhd,
JT International Bhd and Philip Morris (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd
issued a statement to warn the
government that enforcing plain
packaging on tobacco products
could have far-reaching implications on the use of trademarks
and intellectual property rights
in other industries.
The Malaysian International
Chamber of Commerce and Industry also came out to say that
the proposal to introduce plain
packaging measures in Malaysia
will create both an anti-business
and anti-competitive environment.

Xidelang terminates plan to
acquire Chinese apparel maker
BY A L E X C H O N G
KUALA LUMPUR: China-based
sports shoemaker Xidelang Holdings Ltd has called off its proposed acquisition of apparel maker JinJiang YangSen Garments

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, the company said
the two sides could not agree on
the acquisition consideration as
well as the proportion of cash
and the number of consideration
shares for the satisfaction of the
acquisition.
Last Monday, Xidelang announced that both sides had mu-

the terms and conditions for the
proposed acquisition.
Under the HoA signed on July
29, 2015, Xidelang was to satisfy
the purchase consideration via
cash and/or the issuance of new
shares at an issue price of 22 sen

Malaysia confident of B10
implementation this year
All stakeholders have been consulted to ensure acceptance of policy
BY TA N SI EW MU NG
KUALA LUMPUR: The government
is confident of implementing the
much touted B10 biodiesel programme this year, said Plantation
Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah
Embas.
The B10 biodiesel refers to a
blend of 10% palm oil or palm methyl ester (PME) and 90% of diesel.
“We have been undertaking extensive consultations with all the
stakeholders to ensure the acceptance of the policy that will be implemented. This is taking us a bit
of time to finalise the papers and
to get [a] final decision from the
Cabinet on its implementation,”
Uggah told reporters after delivering a keynote address at the Palm
and Lauric Oils Price Outlook Conference and Exhibition 2016 (POC
2016) here yesterday.
He said Malaysia has the facilities
to make the new blend of biodiesel
as soon as a decision is made. However, some testings needed to be
done and final discussions needed
to be carried out before its implementation.
Uggah declined to give a specific
timeline for the implementation.
On France's plan to impose progressive tax on all palm oil-based
products, Uggah said it is an “unfair policy that would kill the palm
oil industry”.
“We are monitoring it very closely;
we are working with our Indonesian counterparts, to convey our
protests to the French government
on the implementation,” Uggah said,
adding that the government is doing
whatever it can to make sure the bill
will not be passed.
“However, we are confident that
the French government will stand
by its bilateral policy with Malaysia,
to ensure that the Malaysian palm
oil industry is being treated fairly,”
he added.
The French Parliament on Jan 21
approved a bill that will see its palm
oil tax amount to €300 (RM1,359) per
tonne for 2017, €500 per tonne for
2018, €700 per tonne for 2019 and
€900 per tonne for 2020, from €103
per tonne currently.
On the implementation of export
tax for palm oil, Uggah said, it would
only be enforced in April if average CPO prices in March reached
RM2,250 per tonne.
“We will see the price for March
and determine the tax in April. As
soon as the price touches RM2,250,
the tax rate will be at 4.5%,” he said.
The benchmark May contract closed
down 17 points to RM2,520 per
tonne yesterday.
EcoWorld to help female staff realise their full potential
BY L AW Y I N - LY N
KUALA LUMPUR: Property developer Eco World Development Group
Bhd kicked off yesterday with a new
women's network that features a
series of structured learning events
to empower and help all EcoWorld
female employees realise their full
potential on the professional front.
Dubbed “Professional Women’s
Network (PWN)”, the initiative was
launched by EcoWorld chairman Tan
Sri Liew Kee Sin in conjunction with
the International Women’s Day 2016.
During the launch, Liew attributed EcoWorld’s quick rise in the
property development industry to
the dedication and talent of its female employees.
“The industry is often perceived
to be male-dominated. However, in
recent times, more and more women have risen to positions of power.

“In EcoWorld, 50% of management positions are held by women
especially in the fields of sales, marketing, customer care, finance, talent
management, audit and information
technology,” he said.
The group has approximately
1,000 employees, and 45% of the
workforce are female.
EcoWorld divisional general
manager of group talent management Angelin Low said PWN was
conceptualised as a platform to acknowledge women’s achievements
and create avenues for their climb
to the top.
“We strongly believe that there
can be a healthy balance of life and
work. Career need not take a back
seat when women start a family
and vice versa. PWN will enable
EcoWorld women to lead a full life
in all aspects,” she added.
EcoWorld’s inaugural PWN activity yesterday featured a day-long
event comprising a panel discussion,
a book sharing session, a workshop,
a professional beauty consultation
and a movie screening.
Global sukuk
issuance to be
lower in 2016
— RAM
BY A L E X C H O N G
KUALA LUMPUR : Global
sukuk issuance is expected
to drop in 2016 to between
US$55 billion (RM225.50 billion) and US$65 billion amid
ebbing global market sentiment, particularly in Malaysia,
said RAM Rating Services Bhd.
Last year, sukuk worth
US$66.4 billion were issued
worldwide.
The rating agency said its
projection takes into account
the core sukuk markets of Malaysia and the Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC) member countries' government expenditure
cuts and potential delays in
infrastructure spending.
“While Malaysia and the
GCC will remain the leaders
in global sukuk issuance, supported by the funding requirements of the corporate and
quasi-government sectors, we
envisage Indonesia in 2016
will still have the economic
momentum to play a more
significant role in tapping the
global sukuk market to fund
its government budget,” RAM
head of Islamic finance Ruslena Ramli said in its 2016 Sukuk
Outlook Report yesterday.
Historically, more than 90%
of global sukuk issuance has
originated from Malaysia, the
GCC and Indonesia.
Ruslena said another encouraging trend is the rising
number of sovereign sukuk issues in 2014 and 2015, which
are anticipated to spill over into
2016 and increase the number of countries that are keen
on expanding their domestic
sukuk markets.
“We have also analysed the
sukuk markets of the GCC
member countries; the widening deficits of nations that
are more dependent on oil
exports could prompt the issuance of sovereign sukuk,”
she added.
Petronas gets boost as Malaysian sukuk costs fall
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s state oil
company is enjoying a twin boost as
commodity prices rally and Islamic
bond costs fall just as it considers
borrowing.
The difference in yield between
10-year government sukuk and
two-year securities shrank to a fivemonth low of 91 basis points last
week from as high as 128 in early January, making longer-term financing attractive for issuers such as
Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas).
That’s been helped by record foreign
purchases of ringgit government
bonds last month, a rally in the currency and a recovery in Brent crude.
Petronas last month posted its
third loss in five quarters, announced
plans to cut 1,000 jobs and said it may
need to raise funds and tap cash re-
serves to cover capital expenditure
and dividends. The decline in bond
costs is also a bright spot for Prime
Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak,
who’s seeking to finance a US$444
billion (RM1.82 trillion) development plan while contending with
slowing growth.
“The flattening yield curve reflects the general perception that the
pace of domestic economic growth
won’t be strong,” said James Lau, an
investment director at Pheim Asset
Management Asia Bhd overseeing
US$300 million. “The sweet spot
remains for companies, especially those involved in development
projects, to tap the loan and debt
markets.”
Azman Ibrahim, a Petronas official, couldn’t immediately be
reached for comment by phone or
email late on Monday.
Corporate sales of bonds that
prohibit the payment of interest
more than doubled in Malaysia to
RM9.6 billion in 2016 from a year
earlier, according to data compiled
by Bloomberg. The ringgit rallied
4.7%, the best performance among
24 emerging-market currencies after Indonesia’s rupiah and the Brazilian real.
Overseas investors increased
holdings of Malaysian sovereign
ringgit bonds to an unprecedented
RM176.7 billion in February from
the previous month as a global selloff in equities at the start of the year
boosted demand for fixed- income
securities. When accounting for
company notes, total ownership
fell 0.6% to RM215 billion.
“Demand-supply dynamics for
Islamic bonds will stay favourable
from the shift in asset allocation given the weakness seen in equities and
other asset classes,” said Fakrizzaki
Ghazali, a strategist at RHB Research
Institute Sdn Bhd. “Nonetheless, this
may not be a one-way affair as markets could be highly volatile again.”
The 10-year syariah-compliant
yield fell 41 basis points in 2016 to
a seven-month low of 4.11%, almost
six times as fast as the decline on
the equivalent two-year debt, according to Bank Negara Malaysia
(BNM) indices.
The possibility the central bank
may ease monetary policy this year
may also further support demand for
bonds. BNM unexpectedly cut the
statutory reserve requirement for
lenders at its last meeting in January
and kept the benchmark interest rate
at 3.25%. It’s also forecast by all 19
economists in a Bloomberg survey
to hold the rate tomorrow.
BNM expects inflation to tick
higher to 2.5% to 3.5% this year from
2.1% in 2015 even as economists
bet growth will weaken to 4.4%, the
slowest since a contraction in 2009.
“Inflation will be higher but not
to the extent that it will constrain
BNM from cutting the overnight
policy rate when it has to,” said Winson Phoon, fixed-income analyst
at Maybank Investment Bank Bhd.
The reduction in statutory reserves
“has led the market to believe that
the odds of a rate cut in 2016 have
increased,” he said. — Bloomberg

INTEGRATED exchange operator Bursa Malaysia (fundamental: 2.3/3; valuation: 1.1/3)
closed one sen or 0.1% lower to RM8.60 yesterday, with 1.47 million shares done.
For FY15, operating revenue increased
3.5% year-on-year to RM487.7 million on higher derivatives trading revenue, which helped
offset softer securities trading revenue. Net
profit, however, was flat at RM198.6 million,

Bursa Malaysia also proposed a final dividend of 18 sen per share for FY15, which will
go “ex” on April 1. It expects the market outlook for 2016 to remain challenging, but that
volatility in commodity prices and the FBM
KLCI will spur trading activities in its derivatives market.
The stock currently trades at a trailing
price-to-earnings of 23.2 times and 5.73 times
book value. Dividends for FY15 totalled 34.5
sen per share, giving a 4% yield.

POH KONG HOLDINGS BHD
In its 1QFY16 results, the group saw its net
profit fell 89.12% to RM336,000 from RM3.09
million a year ago due to the decrease in sales
volume. Revenue dropped 11.17% to RM172.3
million from RM194 million in 1QFY15. The
quarter’s performance was hurt by weak market sentiment.
The group is expected to release its 2QFY16
results by the end of this month. At current
level, it is trading at a trailing price-to-earnings
ratio of 21.4 times and half of its book value.

What are developments
priced in KLCC?
KLCC top 5 most expensive condominiums/apartments
by average price per square foot
• Today, we continue our focus on KLCC by looking at average prices on a per
square foot (psf) basis. Based on transactions analysed by TheEdgeProperty.
com, the average price of condominiums in the area was RM1,167 psf in 1Q2015,
up 9.8% y-o-y.
• While in the primary market we often hear of the latest projects breaking price
records, prices in the secondary market have yet to reach the benchmarks set
by the latest properties. In the 12 months to 1Q2015, the RM801 — RM1,000 psf
price range accounted for the largest share of transactions (21.7%). This was
followed by the RM1,001 — RM1,200 psf range (18.8%). Altogether, sales valued
over RM1,000 psf accounted for 58.2% of transactions.
• Of the top five most expensive projects, most of them (with the exception of The
Troika) have smaller than average unit sizes in order to cater to different needs.
They are led by Marc Residence with an average price of RM1,474 psf. Units at Marc
Residence range from studios (463 square feet (sq ft)) to penthouses (3,122 sq ft).
• Some of the smallest units in KLCC can be found at Soho Suites, with an average
price of RM1,349 psf. Unit sizes here generally range from 603 sq ft to 970 sq
ft. Interestingly, this project also recorded the highest volume of transactions,
with 55 units sold within the 12-month period. The most popular units were
the 1-bedroom units, which saw transacted prices between RM680,000 to
RM1,001,000.
• However, the most expensive unit transacted on a per square foot basis can
be found at The Troika. In October 2014, a 2,551 sq ft unit was unloaded for
RM1,796 psf.

‘Shanghai property market overheated’
BY EMMA DON G
SHANGHAI: Shanghai’s most senior official said the city’s property market had “overheated” and
should be more tightly controlled
after a recent surge in residential
housing prices.
“An irrational and overheated
sentiment have emerged in the
Shanghai real estate market, and
these sentiments have raised home
prices,” Han Zheng, the city’s Communist Party chief, said at a briefing
during annual legislative meetings
in Beijing on Sunday.
Residential home prices in
China’s so-called first-tier cities
of Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and
Shenzhen have surged amid a relaxation of housing curbs intended
to boost real estate investment and
increased monetary stimulus from
the central bank.
New home prices in Shanghai
jumped 2.2% in January from a
month earlier, while existing home
prices increased 2.7% from a month
earlier, the most since 2013, according to data from the nation’s
statistics bureau.
Last month, lines of prospective
buyers outside property agents’ offices in a Shanghai suburb clogged
roads and forced police to curb traffic to maintain order, Caixin report-
ed. The frenzy prompted the city
government to issue a call for calm
on its official microblog account.
Han said his city would strengthen housing regulations without giving details of specific measures, saying only that regulations should be
“scientific as housing is a specialty
commodity”.
In a sign of the diverging trends
of property markets in China’s largest cities from other regions, the
governor of Guangdong province
discussed at a separate briefing on
Sunday measures that would bolster home prices in his jurisdiction.
Zhu Xiaodan said his province is
drafting a plan to allow some large
state-owned enterprises to purchase
homes to help reduce inventory, with
the goal of reducing 20 million sq m
of home inventory in three years.
Figures for 70 cities tracked by
the National Bureau of Statistics
showed last month that new-home
prices climbed month-on-month in
38 cities in January, compared with
gains for 39 in December. At the
same time, 24 cities saw declines
in January.
The property market in Shenzhen, the city in Guangdong province that borders Hong Kong, has
seen the biggest boom in the country, rising 52% in January from a year
earlier. — Bloomberg
Almost 100 million homes may run only on solar by 2020
BY A NN A H I RT ENSTEIN
LONDON: Almost 100 million households worldwide may be powered
by solar panels by 2020, according
to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
The off-grid solar market has
grown to US$700 million (RM2.87
billion) now from non-existent less
than a decade ago, according to a
report last Thursday from the London-based research company and
the World Bank Group’s Lighting
Global. They expect that to swell
to US$3.1 billion by the end of the
decade.
There are about 1.2 billion people without access to energy and
another billion who are connected
to a national grid, but with unstable power. The report estimates
that they spent US$27 billion on
crude lighting methods such as
kerosene and candles last year. De-
mand for reliable energy is soaring
with burgeoning populations and
rising industrialisation in emerging
economies.
About 95% of these people are
in sub-Saharan Africa and the developing parts of Asia — and this is
where the off-grid industry is taking
hold. Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia
are leading the way in Africa and India in Asia.
“Big markets with low energy
access and an existing supply chain
for portable PV products create the
conditions for this technology to
catch on,” said Itamar Orlandi, an
analyst at Bloomberg New Energy
Finance. “Much of the growth will
continue to come from today’s large
markets, while stronger economies
with unstable electricity grids such
as Nigeria may see higher demand
for large solar home systems.” —

Market facing resistance
BY B ENN Y L EE

e mentioned
last week that
the market is
set to rebound
and with the
help of a
stronger ringgit, higher crude oil
prices, and generally bullish global market performances, the FBM
KLCI rose 1% in a week to 1,687.86
points. However, the index seems
to be facing resistance at 1,710
points as it pulled back yesterday
after testing the resistance level on
Monday. The ringgit strengthened
against the US dollar from 4.17 a
week ago to 4.10.
Trading volume started to increase last week. The average daily
trading volume in the past week was
two billion shares compared with
1.7 billion shares two weeks ago. Average trading value also increased
from RM2 billion to RM2.3 billion.
Foreign institutions continued to
be the main bullish driver of Bursa
Malaysia. Net buying from foreign
institutions (from Monday to Friday
last week) was RM972 million. Net
selling from local institutions and
local retail were RM820 million and
RM152 respectively.
For the FBM KLCI, gainers
outpaced decliners three to one.
The top gainers for the week were
SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd
(+7.6% in a week), RHB Capital Bhd
(+6.1%) and Maxis Bhd (+2.9%).
Top decliners were Genting Malaysia Bhd (-1.6%), British Ameri-
can Tobacco (M) Bhd (-1.4%) and
Telekom Malaysia Bhd (-0.9%).
Markets in Asia were generally
bullish, led by China, but the pullback in the past two days erased
some gains. China’s Shanghai Stock
Exchange Composite Index rose
6.1% in a week to 2,899.91 points.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index increased 3.1% to 20,011.58 points and
Singapore’s Straits Times Index rose
3.6% to 2,778.77 points. Meanwhile,
Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index increased
4.3% in a week to 16,783.15 points.
The bulls were back in the US and
European markets after a correction
two weeks ago. The US Dow Jones
Industrial Average increased 3.4%
in a week to 17,073.95 points on
Monday, the highest in two months.
Germany’s DAX Index rose 3% in a
week to 9,778.93 points, and London’s FTSE 100 Index rose 1.4% to
6,182.4 points, also on Monday.
The US dollar weakened in the
last week. The US dollar index fell
from 98.2 points a week ago to 97.1
points on Monday. The Commodity
Exchange gold also increased despite a stronger US dollar. The price
increased 2.3% to US$1,268.00 an
ounce in a week, the highest in 13
months. West Texas Intermediate
crude oil jumped 12% in a week to
US$37.98 per barrel, the highest in
three months. Crude palm oil on
Bursa Malaysia was directionless
again and closed 0.3% lower from last
week at RM2,529 per tonne yesterday.
The FBM KLCI is technically
bullish above the short- and longterm 30-day and 200-day moving
averages. The index also broke
above the downtrend resistance
line (R1 on the chart). Further-
Daily FBM KLCI chart as at March 8, 2016.
more, the index is also above the
Ichimoku Cloud indicator. The bullish trend, however, faced resistance
at 1,710 points. The pullback yesterday formed a bearish reversal
Japanese candlestick pattern called
the “engulfing” bear. Support of
confirmation of the engulfing bear
pattern is at 1,684 points.
The bullish trend is strongly bullish according to the momentum
indicators. The Relative Strength
Index indicator is above its mid-level and the moving average convergence divergence indicator is above
its moving average. Furthermore,
the FBM KLCI is above the middle
band of the Bollinger Bands indicator. However, further declines in
the index may cause these indicators to pull back and momentum
becomes weak.
If the FBM KLCI does not rebound from current levels, we may
see further declines. Support level
is at 1,684 points and if this level is
broken, then we expect the index
to test the 1,655 and 1,660 support
levels, based on the 30-day moving average, short-term uptrend
support line (S1 on chart) and the
Ichimoku Cloud. If it stays above
the support level, expect the index
to trend sideways between 1,685
and 1,710 points.

Coastal Contracts looking to secure a regional project
Coastal Contracts Bhd
(March 8, RM1.69)
Maintain market perform with
an unchanged target price (TP)
of RM1.76: We came away from
Coastal Contracts Bhd’s (Coastal)
fourth quarter of financial year
2016 (4QFY16) briefing feeling
concerned over its FY17/18 estimate earnings outlook due to its
depleting order book. Aware of
the current challenging environment, the management is in talks
to secure new projects, but within
the same sector. While the nature
of new business ventures was not
disclosed, we believe this is a good
move to diversify Coastal’s current
concentrated risk in shipbuilding.
Having said that, the core business will continue to face margin
pressure amid slower vessel sales.
Balance sheet-wise, Coastal is still
relatively healthy with a net cash
position compared with industry
peers having an average net gearing of 0.6 times. All in, we maintain
a “market perform” call with a TP
of RM1.76 pegged to calendar year
2016 (CY16) price-earnings ratio
(PER) of eight times.
We are guided that Coastal is
looking to take on new projects in
the region such as Brunei. While
the management is keeping its
lips sealed on the nature of new
contracts, which we believe will
require a blend of Coastal’s core
expertise and new skills, we have
come to know that one of the projects is a regional one with a potential contract value of RM500
million, spanning over three to
four years.
We also understand that this
project requires collaboration from
other parties and external funding
to execute. No further details were
disclosed as the deal is still at a
preliminary stage and will only
materialise earliest at the end of
the year.
Its first jack-up gas compression
service unit (JUGSU) to Petróleos
Mexicanos SA is currently undergoing commissioning in Mexican
waters, and looking to generate
recurring income by the second
half of CY16 (2HCY16), slightly
slower than the initial expectation
of 1HCY16.
There are no changes to our
forecast as we have already factored in the delay into our forecast.
The management is confident that
it is in a good position to secure an-

other gas unit project should this
JUGSU be successfully operated.
Recall that Coastal has made
an impairment loss on receivables
of RM9 million and inventories
write-downs amounting to RM56.7
million (more than 10% of stocks
to build) in 3Q16.
Although the management assured that there will not be any
further impairment in the next
two quarters, we reckon that there
is still impairment risk as we believe the market prices of vessels
will fall further due to oversupply.
The management guided that
the operating environment continues to be tough and net margin
for vessel sale has dropped to a
single digit to 9% in 4Q16 versus
22% in FY14. Meanwhile, Coastal
has stopped building new vessels,
and their focus is to let go all the
vessels in hand, including RM500
million worth of build to stocks, to
recoup cash even at a slight loss
of 5% for selective type of vessels.
Hence, expect further margin compression in the next few quarters.
Given the quiet offshore support vessel market amid the industry downturn and current order
book of RM1.2 billion, likely to last
till 1HCY17, we believe Coastal will
encounter earnings weakness in
FY18 due to slow pickup in vessel
sales. Balance sheet-wise, Coastal is back to net cash position of
RM34 million in 4Q16 from a minimal net gearing of 0.06 times in
3Q16, which is healthy versus industry average of 0.6 times.
All in, we feel that the near-term
outlook remains sluggish, especially
in FY18 when the remaining order
book dries up. Rerating catalysts
could emerge if Coastal manages
to venture into new space and secure sizeable regional projects. We
maintain a “market perform” call
at a TP of RM1.76 pegged to a CY16
PER of eight times. — Kenanga Research, March 8

Pengerang project
expected to drive
PetGas’ earnings
Petronas Gas Bhd
(March 8, RM22.48)
Maintain neutral with a higher
target price (TP) of RM22.55: Petronas Gas Bhd’s (PetGas) financial
year 2015 (FY15) earnings trailed
our estimates to make up 88% of
our full-year forecasts. The earnings
shortfall was mainly due to higher
operating expenses on the back of
the ongoing plant rejuvenation and
revamp project.
The regasification terminal in
Sungai Udang, Melaka, also saw
operating expenses increase on a
higher depreciation charge, following an adjustment made to its development costs. The weaker results
were also attributed to the softer
associate contribution, which was
inflated in FY14 by the recognition
of the deferred tax allowance at its
Kimanis power plant, amounting
to RM154.5 million.
We revised PetGas’ FY16F (forecast) earnings by -4.5% to factor in
the higher operating expenditure
(opex) and lower associate contribution, while we kept our FY17F
earnings largely unchanged. We
also introduce our FY18F earnings
forecasts. We now expect FY16F
earnings to grow by 7% from 9.6%
before easing to 3.5%, and picking
up to 8.6% in FY18F to reflect the
contribution from the new regasification terminal in Pengerang, Johor.
Despite PetGas’ higher-than-expected opex in FY15, we believe its
stable earnings outlook remains
largely intact. We like PetGas for
its defensive earnings and strong

long-term fundamentals, which are
backed by the continued industrialisation in Malaysia that should
see a rising demand for gas.
In the medium term, PetGas’
earnings growth is expected to be
driven by its 65%-owned RM2.7 billion regasification terminal project
in Pengerang. Construction of the
plant with an annual capacity of
3.5 million tonnes (compared with
3.8 million tonnes at the existing
Melaka regasification terminal) is
slated for commercial operations
by the fourth quarter of 2017.
However, we believe there are
limited catalysts for its share price,
while the earnings potential from its
new regasification plant has been
largely priced in. Key earnings risks
include missing efficiency targets,
which will result in lower performance-based incomes, lower gas
transportation volume, and delays
in the completion of the Pengerang
regasification terminal.
We remain “neutral” on PetGas
with a revised TP of RM22.55 from
RM22.40 after rolling forward our
discounted cash flow valuation for
its core operations. Our TP implies
a FY16F/FY17F price-earnings ratio
of 23.9 times and 23.1 times, respectively. — RHB Research, March 8

Softer consumer sentiment could
dampen BIMB’s loan growth
BIMB Holdings Bhd
(March 8, RM3.68)
Maintain hold with an unchanged
target price (TP) of RM3.85: We attended BIMB Holdings Bhd’s (BIMB)
analysts’ briefing on its financial year
2015 (FY15) performance released
last week. To recap, its net profit
grew by a subdued 2.8% year-onyear (y-o-y), primarily due to higher
provisions in FY15 (+31%). Cost-toincome ratio was fairly stable.
Financing growth moderated to
16% (from 24% in FY14) as momentum slowed across the board. Deposits (including investment accounts)
registered 7.7% growth. Financing
to deposit ratio stood at 80%. Management revealed that its liquidity
coverage ratio stood at 95%.
BIMB remains Malaysia’s only
syariah-compliant bank and is a key
beneficiary of the growing Islamic
finance sector. Nevertheless, BIMB
is not immune to the challenges in
the banking sector, which include
slower loan growth, sluggish capital
markets and higher credit costs as
recoveries have normalised.
BIMB has a target to achieve fi-
nancing growth in the low teens (our
forecast is at 12%). Management expects credit costs to remain similar
to FY15’s level (20 basis points), but
we have conservatively assumed
credit costs to inch up in FY16 to 36
basis points. BIMB is also hopeful of
keeping its net interest margin stable,
premised on its liability management
strategy. BIMB targets to achieve a
20% return on equity (ROE) and a
1.3% return on asset (based on profit
before zakat and tax).
Our TP of RM3.85, implying 1.6
times FY16F (forecast) book value,
is derived from the Gordon Growth
Model. Our TP assumes 16.5% ROE,
4% long-term growth and 11% cost of
equity. We see a limited upside to the
stock as softer consumer sentiment
could dampen the bank’s loan growth.
Our “hold” recommendation is
premised on a challenging operating
environment for BIMB amid weaker
consumer sentiment. The consumer
sentiment index dropped to a fresh
low of 63.8 in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Consumer loans make up slightly more
than 60% of BIMB’s total loan portfolio. — AllianceDBS Research, March 3
Selldown in MyEG shares an opportunity to accumulate
My EG Services Bhd
(March 8, RM2.04)
Maintain add with an unchanged
target price (TP) of RM2.83: My EG
Services Bhd’s (MyEG) share price
has been down 7% over the past
three trading days. We believe that
one of the reasons for the short-term
selldown is confusion about the
“front-end” and “back-end” processing of illegal foreign workers.
We understand there are five parties
involved in the “front-end” processing of the illegal foreign workers:
one for Indonesia, one for Myanmar
and three for “other” foreign workers. MyEG is one of three parties
allowed to register “other” foreign
workers. Registration of an illegal
foreign worker will cost RM1,134.52,
says MyEG.
On its frequently asked questions webpage, MyEG indicated
that it will only accept “front-end”
processing of illegal foreign workers from countries other than In-
donesia and Myanmar. We think
that investors misunderstood this
statement.
MyEG makes an average RM100
revenue for each illegal foreign
worker who registers under this
rehiring programme, regardless
of nationality.
In February, Home Ministry
secretary-general Datuk Seri Alwi
Ibrahim announced that the rehiring programme would be carried
out from Feb 15 to Aug 15, 2016.
In the first week, we believe that
the registration was slow, but momentum has picked up over the
past one to two weeks. This is because the Immigration Department
has been conducting regular raids
on construction sites, plantations
and nightclubs. The illegal foreign
workers arrested in these raids will
be deported to their respective
countries.
As such, businesses are now
looking to register them under their
employment as they cannot afford
to lose these workers. To make matters worse for employers, the Malaysian government has imposed a
hiring freeze on new foreign workers, which means that new labour
supply is capped for now.
We understand there are four to
five million illegal foreign workers
in the country now. We have conservatively assumed that MyEG will
register one million by June this
year. If MyEG only registers 0.5 million workers in financial year 2016
(FY16) and another 0.5 million in
FY17, our FY16 earnings per share
(EPS) falls by 12%, but FY17 EPS
rises by 11.6%. However, our TP
for MyEG is unchanged, based on
21 times calendar year 2017 (CY17)
price-earnings ratio (PER) (in line
with the average of its peers).
We maintain our FY16-FY18 EPS
and TP, based on an unchanged
CY17 PER of 21 times (in line with
the average of its peers). MyEG’s

targets of Daesh kidnappers
The group also planned attacks on places of worship and public places, says Zahid
KUALA LUMPUR: The nation’s
security forces had succeeded in
thwarting several attempts by the
Daesh militant group to kidnap
the country’s leaders including the
prime minister, the Dewan Rakyat

Deputy Prime Minister and Home

from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, he and Defence Minister

Ending child
marriage still
Unicef Malaysia’s
top priority
KUALA LUMPUR: In line with
International Women’s Day
yesterday, the United Nations
Children’s Emergency Fund
(Unicef ) Malaysia, reiterated
its commitment to end child
marriage, which remains the
organisation’s top priority.
In this regard, the organisation said that it would continue
to work together with the government and other stakeholders for children.
In a statement issued here
yesterday, Unicef said that
as Malaysia moves towards
achieving high-income nation
status, it is even more crucial
that all Malaysian children
have equal rights and access
to services and opportunities
to achieve their full potential.
“In marking International Women’s Day today (yesterday), let us not allow child
marriage to rob our children,
especially girls, of their opportunity to thrive,” the organisation said.
It pointed to remarks made
by Women, Family and Community Development Minister
Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim recently regarding child
marriage.
Rohani had said that child
marriage is a serious violation
of human rights that impacts
all aspects of a child’s life, especially girls.
This year’s Women’s Day is
themed “Planet 50-50 by 2030:
Step It Up for Gender Equality”, which is the official United
Nations theme to reflect on
how to accelerate and build
momentum for the effective
implementation of the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development. — Bernama
militant group plotted to kidnap the
country’s top leaders including the
prime minister, home and defence
ministers,” he said.
Ahmad Zahid was responding to
a question from Paya Besar member
of parliament Datuk Abdul Manan
Ismail, who wanted clarification on
the Royal Malaysia Police’s success in
preventing terrorist attacks by Daesh
militants in the country.
Besides the plot to kidnap, he
said, the group also planned attacks on places of worship and
public places, stealing firearms
from army camps as well as rob-
bing cash to finance their activities.
He said although there was no
Daesh branch in the country, those
influenced by the militant group’s
ideology received instructions directly from the group in Syria led by
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
According to Ahmad Zahid,
Daesh militant group’s activities in
this country were evident throughout
September 2014 to May 2015 and in
that period, the security forces detected four plots by the group to attack
several locations in Kedah, Kuala
Lumpur and Putrajaya.
“Looking at the developments
on this terrorist threat, we saw a
need for an integrated and holistic
action and to handle the situation,
the home ministry and the police
resorted to information-sharing cooperation with foreign intelligence
agencies, particularly with Asean
countries,” he said.
According to him, as a result of
the cooperation, close monitoring
was conducted to keep track of those
involved with the militant group
and names of individuals involved
were extended to the immigration
department to be put on the blacklist and suspects list. — Bernama
Ex-senior manager charged

JOHOR BARU: A former senior manager of a private company pleaded
not guilty in the Sessions Court here

Solar eclipse spectacle fuels tourist buzz
JAKARTA: Twelve provinces in Indonesia will experience darkness
this morning due to a total solar
eclipse, a phenomenon which occurs when the moon is in line between the earth and sun.
Thousands of local and foreign
tourists are making a beeline to the
areas that will experience the full
eclipse, which falls on the day of
the Nyepi Festival, a public holiday.
Local media reported that local
governments in the 12 provinces
were organising various facilities
for travellers to view the rare phenomenon.
Bengkulu Province will be the
first region to experience the solar
eclipse and the local government
has prepared Fort Marlborough
as the place to view the phenomenon by providing a wide range of
binoculars.
According to a spokesman for
the provincial authorities, people
in Bengkulu will witness the darkest shadow of the eclipse, when it
crosses the province.
The solar eclipse is expected to
pass the district of Muko Muko at
7.19am and it is called the peak of
the eclipse when the moon covers
the sun completely.
The eclipse will begin at Bengkulu province at 6.19am and last until

Netherlands
‘has all US
information’
on MH17 —
investigator
ing looked into include the plane’s

profiles, airworthiness and maintenance of the aircraft, as well as the
aircraft cargo consignment.
Some 120,000 sq km of the sea
floor is being scoured for about A$170
million (RM519.29 million).
The team said a full report would
only be released in the event wreckage of the aircraft is found or the

— Agencies
BUNNIK (Netherlands): The
Netherlands has received “all
available information from the
United States” for the inquiry
into the downing of Malaysia
Airlines’ flight MH17 in eastern
Ukraine nearly two years ago,
the chief investigator said on
Monday.
The announcement came
after a meeting between investigators and relatives of the
victims, who were concerned
about the progress of the probe
after allegations that Washington was not sharing all its
information.
“Regarding the debate
which still exists over the sharing of information from the
United States: All information,
which is available and which is
of interest for the investigation,
has been shared,” said Fred
Westerbeke, chief investigator
in the criminal investigation.
About 200 relatives of the
victims attended the meeting,
“but we could not tell them
much without jeopardising the
investigation”, added Westerbeke, who is working with investigators from Australia, Belgium, Malaysia and Ukraine.
He reiterated that they expected this summer to determine the exact location where
the missile which downed the
Boeing 777 was fired from and
the precise model used.
All 298 passengers and crew
— the majority of them Dutch
— died when the plane was
shot down over war-torn eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014.
An international investigation into the cause of the crash,
coordinated by the Dutch Safety Board, in October found the
plane had been downed by a
Russian-made BUK surface-toair missile from an area held by
pro-Russian separatists, but did
not give precise details.
The separate criminal investigation coordinated by Westerbeke is to identify those
responsible, although many
experts doubt the perpetrators will ever be arrested and
prosecuted. — AFP
this knot of worry in your heart. If
we don’t file [a] suit, it’s equivalent to giving up the right to look
for our children. The goal of the
lawsuit isn’t to get money, but to
seek justice for our children and
the truth,” she said.
Conspiracy theories offered relatives a way to try to address the fact
that “you do feel powerless, you
don’t know what’s happened, and
you’re looking for ways to explain
it”, said Karen Douglas, professor of
social psychology at the University
of Kent in Britain, who had used
MH370 in her research in the field.
“It makes perfect sense that in

Malaysia, Australia, China to hold meeting if it’s not found, says PM
KUALA LUMPUR: The search operation for Malaysia Airlines’ flight
MH370 is expected to be completed
later this year, Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Najib Razak said, adding that
the government is hopeful that it
would be found in the 120,000 sq
km area under investigation.
“If it is not [found], then Malaysia, Australia and China will hold a
tripartite meeting to determine the
way forward,” he said in a statement
here yesterday, Bernama reported.
He said the Malaysian government remains committed to doing everything within its means
to “solving what is an agonising
mystery for the loved ones of those
who were lost”. Yesterday marked
the second anniversary of the disappearance of MH370.
“We mourn the loss of the 239
people, including 50 Malaysians,
who were on board,” he said.
MH370, a Boeing 777, disappeared from Malaysian radars at
2.15am on March 8, 2014, after taking off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport for Beijing at 1.30am.
It carried 239 passengers and crew.
Just days before the statutory
limitation comes into force, families of 44 passengers aboard the
flight filed legal action in the High
Court here against Malaysian Air-
line System Bhd (MAS), Malaysia
Airlines Bhd and insurer Allianz
Global Corporate & Speciality for
damages arising out of the tragedy.
The claims were filed through
Kuala Lumpur-based solicitor
Messrs Thomas Philip and follow
similar proceedings filed by American law firm Motley Rice LLC in
the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York.
Thomas Philip yesterday said the
claim for negligence and breach of
contract on the part of MAS was
filed last Friday on behalf of the 44
victims, of whom 42 were Chinese
nationals and two were Americans.
“The families are seeking compensation for the loss of life of their
loved ones, as well as the traumatic
psychiatric injury, nervous shock
and post-traumatic stress suffered
by the families,” said the firm.
Dewan Rakyat observed a minute of silence to mark the anniversary of the tragedy, Bernama

Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia said
yesterday the search mission by

Answers elusive for team investigating flight
KUALA LUMPUR: Two years after
Malaysia Airlines’ flight MH370 disappeared, answers remain elusive
with international investigators yet
to arrive at a conclusion over what
happened to the jet. The international
team looking into the aircraft’s disappearance said in an interim statement yesterday it was still reviewing
key information, Reuters reported.
“The team is continuing to work
towards finalising its analysis, findings, conclusions and safety recom-
mendations on eight relevant areas
associated with the disappearance
of flight MH370,” the team said in a
statement.
The team led by Malaysia includes
investigators from the United States,
Britain, China, France and Australia.
The Boeing 777-200ER plane vanished from radar screens shortly after
taking off from Kuala Lumpur, bound
for Beijing, early on March 8, 2014.
Investigators believe the plane,
carrying 239 passengers and crew,
was flown thousands of miles off
course before crashing into the ocean
off Australia. Wreckage and impact
information was being considered
based on the discovery of a wing
part in July last year, the team said.
The flaperon, washed up in Reunion Island, has been the only confirmed piece of wreckage to be found,
though Malaysia is investigating two
new pieces of debris found in Mozambique and Reunion.
The team said the eight areas be-

BEIJING: Distrust, disbelief and

Airlines’ flight MH370 still refuse
to believe they are somewhere at
the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
The unique circumstances of the
disaster — including conflicting
initial accounts, an inconclusive
search and a backdrop of scepticism — all contribute to their insistence, specialists said.
For many Chinese families, the
impact of the disaster was magni-
fied by the one-child policy, which
over the past 30 years forced parents
to pin all their hopes for the future
on a single offspring.
Many of the parents of MH370’s
153 Chinese passengers — among
239 people on board — are elderly and retired, a time when their
children would traditionally have
looked after them in a multigenerational household.
“Because of China’s special circumstances, I was only allowed to
have one son,” said Lin Xiaolan, 51.

Did the MH370 pilots do it?
CNN’s aviation correspondent not prepared to say ‘it was the pilot that did it’
BY RICHARD QUEST
I
t has been two years since
MH370 went missing and
key questions remain unanswered: Where is the plane
and what happened in the
cockpit in the early hours of
March 8, 2014?
Amid the conspiracy theories,
there are two main views on what
might have happened.
The first suggests that the captain hijacked the plane and flew it
with all 238 other people on board
to their deaths by crashing in the
southern Indian Ocean.
The second view, and the one
to which I subscribe, is that there
was some form of mechanical fault.
Under that scenario, the pilots
tried to get back to safety in Malaysia, but became incapacitated
and the plane flew on; or that the
pilots are heroes, and knowing they
were doomed, set a course to avoid
ground casualties and died after
the plane crashed.
The simple, short answer as to
which is true: we do not know. Anyone who tells you they do know
is, frankly, making it up.
Rogue pilot?
The pilot theory pins the probable
blame on 53-year-old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah. I do not agree
for a variety of reasons.
Pilot suicide is incredibly
rare. When it happens it is shocking and deeply troubling for the
travelling public. The most recent of course was the horrible
crash of Germanwings 9525 in
March 2015, where the first officer, Andreas Lubitz, locked the
captain out of the cockpit, then
reset the autopilot altitude to 100
feet sending the plane crashing
into the French Alps.
Whether premeditated (as
the evidence shows with Germanwings) or on the spur of the
moment, the deranged mind
does not spend hours carefully
plotting flight plans, working
out how to disconnect every
communication tool on the
aircraft, then flying elaborate
routes around countries ostensibly to avoid military radars.
No — they take over the aircraft
and crash the plane. MH370
does not fit this pattern. And
so far I cannot find any case
that would suggest it does.
With pilot suicide cases, we tend
to find out the potential reasons relatively quickly. With Germanwings,
we found out almost immediately the psychological and medical
issues suffered by Lubitz. He had
been doctor shopping in the weeks
before the crash, visiting numerous
general practitioners, psychologists.
He had ripped up sick notes in his
apartment and had been researching
online suicide methods and the locking mechanism of the cockpit door.
been paired with 27-year-old
first officer Fariq Abdul Hamid.
Fariq was transitioning to the
777 fleet and this was one of his
first 777 flights out of the simulator on the real metal. Fariq
was engaged to be married to
a pilot of another airline.
The Factual Report published on the first anniversary
of the plane’s disappearance
actually goes so far as to dismiss these accusations. It says,
“The captain’s ability to handle
stress at work and home was
good. There were no significant changes in his life style,
interpersonal conflict of family
stresses.”
I am not naive and obviously can see that the Malaysians
might want to put the “best face
on” to protect the reputation
of their country’s pilots. But
we have to take the report at
face value — it is all we have
on the record.
Insufficient evidence
With MH370, we have no real evidence. None whatsoever. We have
a few rumours, a bit of gossip and
a few circumstantial facts which
some wish to string together to
make a case against the pilots.
Let us not forget Captain Zaharie
had been a pilot with Malaysian Airlines since 1981. He was a captain
on the 777 for more than 15 years.
He was exceptionally experienced
— a training captain — who had
No hard evidence
In the absence of that hard evidence, alternative theories flourished, bolstered by rumours. Like
how the captain circled his home
island of Penang for “one last look,”
or how the plane flew at different
altitudes and routes to avoid radar. These make good yarns but
are not true.
There was no circling of Penang
and there was no major change
in altitude — the Malaysian radar
turned out to be wrong. These theories were all debunked by the Australian Transport Security Bureau
in a rebuttal to Australian veteran
pilot Byron Bailey who argues for
the “rogue pilot” theory.
Also, the plane was spotted by
Thai radar, which ignored it because
it was not relevant. Finally, never
forget that the plane was spotted
by the Malaysian military as it flew
across the country on that fateful
night but was also ignored. A rogue
pilot could not have banked on the
failure of an oblivious radar operator not to scramble jets to see what
was going on.
I shall leave it to others to make
the case against the pilots on technical grounds. But we must stick
to the facts.
The fact is there is no evidence
to say the pilots did this.
Before I am prepared to convict
a lifelong captain or a newbie first
officer of hijacking a plane and
killing 238 other people, I want
more than a few odd rumors, a lot
of scurrilous gossip and a heap of
poor arguments. I am prepared to
be proved totally wrong. Until such
time I am not prepared to say “it
was the pilot that did it.” — CNN

Iran’s economy after the elections
BY HASSAN HAKIMIAN
RECENT gains by pro-government
reformist candidates in Iran’s parliamentary elections have given
President Hassan Rouhani a welcome midterm boost. But huge
economic challenges remain. And
in the coming months, these challenges are what will determine the
battle lines between the president
and his hard-line adversaries.
Elections are normally won and
lost along political lines, and Iran’s
recent vote is no exception. But, on
this occasion, there is reason to believe that economic concerns were
a major driver of political change,
as evidenced by the massive turnout at the electoral booths. Ever
since July, when Iran signed a landmark nuclear deal with the five
permanent members of the United
Nations Security Council and the
European Union, popular expectations for an improvement in the
state of the economy have reached
a fever pitch.
Rouhani is well aware of the importance of economic expectations;
indeed, they were what swept him
into the presidency in 2013. The recent election campaign once again
drew strength from the promise to
fix an economy battered by years of
tough economic sanctions and domestic mismanagement. That is why
he placed a high priority on reaching a deal with the outside world
that would close the nuclear file and
pave the road to economic recovery.
The economy that Rouhani
inherited from his predecessor,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, had been
distorted by years of generous redistributions of oil revenues to the
president’s supporters and then
hit with stagflation, as what US
Vice President Joe Biden called
the “toughest economic sanctions
in history” began to take hold. In
2013, the year Rouhani assumed
office, inflation exceeded 40%, and
gross domestic product (GDP) contracted by 6%.
Rouhani’s woes were exacerbated by the economic destabilisation that followed the introduction of comprehensive financial
sanctions that cut Iran off from
the international banking system.
Unable to sell oil, and faced with
a blockade of the central bank by
the United States and the European
Union, Rouhani faced the momen-
tous challenge of trying to kick-start
growth and tame spiralling prices.
Rouhani has had some success in lowering inflation, which
is now down to 13%. But rekindling
growth has proven to be a tougher
challenge. With the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) predicting
that GDP will either stagnate or
contract this year, Iran’s economy
might well be set for a double-dip
recession.
With sanctions lifted, however,
the IMF now expects GDP growth to
reach roughly 5% next year — a rate
that would make Iran the Middle
East’s best-performing economy.
Attaining this level of growth will
be essential if jobs are to be created; Iran habitually suffers from a
double-digit unemployment rate,
with official youth unemployment
above 25%.
But several obstacles stand in the
way. The first is the collapse in oil
prices, which have tumbled by 70%
since mid-2014. A similar misfortune
occurred in 1999, when President
Mohammad Khatami was attempting to carry out his own reformist
experiment, and prices fell below
US$10 (RM41) per barrel. Then, as
now, the first two years of a reformist administration were thwarted by
adverse external developments in
the international oil markets.
The last crisis was driven by demand-side factors relating to the
Asian financial crisis. This time,
supply-side factors are creating a
global oil glut, with similar results.
Rouhani’s main challenges,
however, are internal. They come
from Iran’s complex post-revolutionary institutional architecture,
which is beset by a labyrinth of decision-making entities interlaced
with yet more bodies and agencies
created to ensure compliance with
Islamic tenets and revolutionary
standards. It is in this labyrinth of
power that Rouhani is fighting an
intense battle with his conservative
adversaries — a battle that may be
far from over.
In fact, Rouhani’s economic
remedies — attempting to open
the economy to foreign trade and
investment flows, and introducing
economic reforms to foster the private sector following the lifting of
sanctions — are at odds with the
vision of Iran’s hard-line conservatives. For these so-called Principlists — who advocate a “resistance
economy,” based on years of austerity marked by self-sufficiency
and reliance on domestic resources
— Rouhani’s desire to declare Iran
“open for business” and to encourage foreigners to take an active role
in Iran’s economy raises as much
alarm as the nuclear deal.
The decline of the Principlists’
power bloc in the next parliament
is undoubtedly a powerful message from Iran’s youthful electorate.
But, while the Principlists might be
down, they are certainly not out, as
the looming battle over the future
of the economy attests.
It is here that Rouhani will face
his most difficult challenge. His
electoral victory might raise the
stakes for him, by increasing pressure to deliver on popular expectations. But, as Khatami found
when he lost to Ahmadinejad in
2005, growth and economic recovery cannot come at the expense
of the electorate’s aspirations for
greater equality and social justice.

Aquino in US$6.5b
push for Philippine
infrastructure
legacy
BY I A N SAYSON
MANILA: The Philippines plans
to solicit bids for US$6.5 billion
(RM26.7 billion) worth of projects
from roads to airports before President Benigno Aquino’s six-year
term ends in June, seeking to leave
his successor a robust pipeline of
infrastructure deals.
Eleven projects, including a
US$2.6 billion highway and land
reclamation, will be up for grabs
in coming months, from a list of
50 deals that will be handed to the
next administration, said Andre
Palacios, 45, the new head of the
agency overseeing big-ticket infrastructure projects.
“We already have a good number of investors who are pre-qualified as bidders, and they have put
their money where their mouth is,”
said Palacios, executive director
of the Public-Private Partnership
(PPP) Center. Yesterday he replaced
Cosette Canilao, who resigned for
family reasons.
“We are gift wrapping these projects for the next administration so
they can hit the ground running,”
Palacios said in an interview on
Monday in Manila.
Aquino has awarded 12 projects
worth US$4.2 billion since 2010,
including the expansion and operation of a railway in Manila, and a
toll road connecting the provinces
of Cavite and Laguna.
The improvements aim to draw
investors, who have identified poor
infrastructure as a deterrent to putting money in the Philippines. All
five politicians vying to succeed
Aquino have pledged to make infrastructure a priority. — Bloomberg
Drop is the biggest since May 2009 on weak demand
BY XIAOYI SHAO & P E TE S WE E NE Y
BEIJING: China’s February trade
performance was far worse than
economists had expected, with exports tumbling the most in over six
years, days after top leaders sought
to reassure investors that the outlook for the world’s second-largest
economy remains solid.
Exports fell 25.4% from a year
earlier, twice as much as markets
had feared as demand skidded in
all of China’s major markets, while
imports slumped 13.8%, the 16th
straight month of decline.
The export drop was the biggest
since May 2009, but economists
said it may not necessarily point to
a significant worsening in economic
conditions due to sharply reduced
business activity during the long
Lunar New Year holidays, which
fell in early February this year.
Still, January-February exports
on a combined basis, which should
iron out some of the holiday effect,
fell 17.8% and imports 16.7%, pointing to persistently weak demand at
home and abroad that is weighing
on the economy of the world’s largest trading nation.
“Exports were very strong last year
in February because the Lunar New
Year started so late and much of the
usual disruption from the holiday
was pushed into March. So the implication is that we’ll probably see
a significant reversal and a stronger number next month,” said Julian
Evans-Prichard, China economist
at Capital Economics in Singapore.
“We suspect that overall exports
remain weak but we don’t see much
evidence of marked deterioration,
for instance there was no sudden
drop-off in export orders in the
Markit PMI (activity survey), and
they generally do a pretty good job
of adjusting for seasonality.”
Analysts polled by Reuters had
expected February exports to fall by
12.5%, with imports seen down 10%.
China posted a trade surplus of
US$32.59 billion (RM133.62 billion) for the month, down from
US$63.29 billion in January, the
General Administration of Customs
said yesterday.
After missing trade goals repeatedly in recent years, China’s leaders
did not give an estimate for trade
growth in 2016 when they set out key
economic targets in parliament on
Saturday, reflecting deep uncertainty about global demand. — Reuters
Japan’s 4Q GDP contracts
BY LEIKA KIHA RA
TOKYO: Japan’s economy contracted less than initially estimated in
the final quarter of 2015, but private consumption remained weak,
underscoring the challenges facing
premier Shinzo Abe in restoring
growth amid intensifying overseas
headwinds.
While many analysts expect
growth to have rebounded modestly in the current quarter, the bleak
outlook for global demand has led
some to predict another contraction that will push Japan back into
technical recession — defined as
two straight quarters of shrinking
growth.
The weak economic backdrop
will keep the Bank of Japan under
pressure to further expand monetary stimulus, although central
bank policymakers meeting for a
rate review next week are wary of
acting so soon after adopting negative interest rates late in January.
Sluggish growth could also
heighten market speculation that
Abe may delay a second consumption tax hike to 10% from 8% scheduled for April next year, some analysts say.
Japan’s economy, the world’s
third-largest, shrank an annualised 1.1% in October to December,
less than a preliminary estimate
of a 1.4% contraction, Cabinet Office data showed yesterday. That
compared with a median market
forecast for a revision to a 1.5%
contraction.
“Economic indicators in January are weak. The economy likely
won’t rebound significantly in January-March,” said Yoshiki Shinke,
chief economist at Dai-ichi Life
Research Institute. — Reuters

China’s growth fixation will scupper other goals
BY RAC H EL MORA RJEE
BEIJING: China’s latest five-year
plan shows central planners are
still clearly in the driving seat
of the world’s second-largest
economy. The country’s leaders have reiterated their pledge
to lift gross domestic product
(GDP) by at least 6.5% a year until 2020. Though that’s a lower
growth rate than in the past, it is
still too high. Unrealistic targets
distort the economy by delaying
rebalancing and boosting debt.
Chinese GDP data have long
been viewed with suspicion.
Even Premier Li Keqiang, who
confirmed the targets at the start
of China’s annual parliament on
March 5, told a US diplomat in
2007 that he paid more attention
to indicators, such as rail cargo and
power consumption, according to
cables released by Wikileaks.
However, the targets remain important because local leaders’ promotion prospects depend on achieving them, regardless of whether their
fiefdoms are home to smokestack
industries or tech companies.

growth in the region was about
5.6% in 2015, though some cities
reported dramatically lower numbers. Economic output in Daqing,
China’s biggest oil-producing city,
contracted by about a quarter.
Nevertheless, leaders in the province are aiming for at least 6% growth
this year, while keeping urban unemployment below 4.5%. Indeed,
Li said that if China’s overall growth
rate dipped below the target of 6.5%
to 7% in 2016, then GDP would have
to expand more quickly in future so
that the country could realise its ambition of doubling economic output
in the decade to 2020. Those goals

‘China’s ZTE urges suppliers
to seek US export licences’
Chinese government ‘resolutely opposed’ to new United States trade restrictions
BY Y I MOU L EE & JOEL SCHECTM AN
HONG KONG/WASHINGTON:
Chinese telecommunications
equipment maker ZTE Corp has
urged its United States suppliers to apply for export licences to
satisfy newly imposed US trade
restrictions, a source with direct
knowledge of the situation told
Reuters yesterday.
The news came as export restrictions against ZTE for alleged Iran
sanction violations drew fire from
the Chinese government, which
said it was “resolutely opposed”
to the tough measures but stopped
short of announcing retaliation.
The moves announced by the
US Commerce Department on
Monday are likely to disrupt ZTE’s
sprawling global supply chain and
could create substantial parts
shortages, according to sanction
experts.
ZTE’s purchases of technology
components last year will not be

Australia gas
project starts
production
SYDNEY: One of the world’s
largest natural gas plants
and Australia’s biggest resource project has started
production, Chevron Corp
said yesterday, as the market
continues to battle plunging
commodity prices and a supply glut.
The United States multinational said the US$52 billion
(RM213 billion) Gorgon liquefied natural gas (LNG) project off Australia’s northwest
coast, which has been hit by
delays and cost overruns, was
expected to ship its first cargo
next week.
Australia has several other
LNG plants in the pipeline and
is predicted to overtake Qatar
as the world’s biggest liquid
natural gas producer by 2020.
The collapse in oil prices,
which places pressure on the
value of LNG, and an excess of
supply has been hurting energy
companies, but Chevron, the
second-biggest US oil firm, said
the “long-term fundamentals
of LNG are attractive”.
“We expect legacy assets
such as Gorgon will drive
long-term growth and create
shareholder value for decades
to come,” Chevron chairman
and chief executive John Watson said in a statement.
“The long-term fundamentals of LNG are attractive, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, and this is a significant
milestone for all involved.”
The Gorgon asset was established as a joint venture
with Shell and ExxonMobil,
which each hold 25%, and Japanese firms Osaka Gas Co Ltd
(1.25%), Tokyo Gas Co Ltd (1%)
and Chubu Electric Power Co
Inc (0.417%). Chevron owns

Toshiba to pick suitor for
medical unit — sources
BY JUNKO F UJ I TA & HAM ADA
TOKYO: Toshiba Corp is poised to
settle on a preferred bidder for its
medical equipment unit with an
extraordinary executive meeting
planned today, people with knowledge of the process said.
Canon Inc and Fujifilm Holdings Corp, both Japanese imaging firms with their own medical
device units, are considered the
front runners, having put in bids
of more than ¥600 billion (RM21.8
billion), other people familiar with
the matter said.
The auction of Toshiba Medical
Systems Corp, aimed at shoring
up Toshiba’s capital after a US$1.3
billion (RM5.3 billion) accounting
scandal, represents an unexpected
opportunity for rivals to get their
hands on a respected manufacturer of diagnostic equipment such
as X-ray and magnetic resonance
imaging systems.
Konica Minolta Inc, in partnership with European private equity
firm Permira, also remains in the
bidding, one person said.
But the contest for a crucial piece
of Toshiba appears to be turning
into a matchup between two longtime stalwarts of the Japanese tech
industry — Fujifilm chief executive
officer (CEO) Shigetaka Komori and
Canon CEO Fujio Mitarai.
“It’s a one-to-one fight between
two old guys with a lot of pride, and
neither wants to back down,” one
source said.
The sources declined to be identified because they are not authorised to speak to the media.

TORONTO: Toyota Motor Corp
recalled 33,264 more vehicles
in Canada as of Monday over
an issue with frontal airbags,
bringing the total in the country
to 400,124 vehicles since 2013,
the Canadian government said.
Last Wednesday, Toyota said it

The latest Canadian figures announced by Transport Canada were an expansion to previous recalls. An estimated 29

export market Russia.
But Choi’s comments appear to
contradict those of Mahindra executive director Pawan Goenka, who
told Reuters a US entry was “somewhat on the back burner”, with the
priority instead being plans to build
Ssangyong vehicles in China.
A source familiar with the matter
told Reuters that Ssangyong Motor
executives may not be on the same
page as Mahindra regarding the US
market, which all sides agree is a
tough nut to crack.
“It is true that there are many
concerns about the US entry,” Choi
told reporters on the sidelines of
the launch of the company’s Tivoli
Air compact sport utility vehicle.
“We think the US project will
make or break our company. So
we’ll have full discussions with Mahindra,” he said, adding that a final
decision on the date had not been
made. — Reuters

Watchdog finds ‘weaknesses’ in Belgium jihadist intelligence — TV
‘Homesick’
refugees
return home —
Australia govt
SYDNEY: Two more refugees
resettled in Cambodia from
an Australian detention camp
have returned home, the government said yesterday, sparking renewed criticism about
the A$55 million (RM168.13
million) scheme.
The government struck a deal
with Phnom Penh in September 2014 to take in refugees in
exchange for millions of dollars
in aid, in a move condemned by
rights groups and questioned
by the United Nations.
Initially only four people
held on Nauru — three Iranians
and one ethnic Rohingya man
from Myanmar — volunteered
to move to the impoverished
Southeast Asian nation, which
has a weak record of upholding
human rights. A fifth, another
Rohingya, joined them later.
One of the Rohingya decided
to return home last October, citing homesickness. Now two of
the three Iranians have also left.
“Refugees can elect to return
to their country of origin at any
time, which is what an Iranian
couple in Cambodia decided to
do recently,” said a spokesman
for Immigration Minister Peter
Dutton.
Australia’s Labor opposition
party, which supports the detention of asylum-seekers at
the remote Pacific facilities, said
with so few opting for resettlement the Cambodian scheme
was a “dud”.
“Not only has the coalition
[government] wasted A$55
million of taxpayers money on
this dud deal, they have also
left more than 2,000 people
on Manus and Nauru in limbo
for nearly three years on their
watch,” said shadow immigration spokesman Richard Marles.
“The inability of this government to secure a meaningful
resettlement arrangement with
a credible third country is a serious failure on the part of [Prime
Minister] Malcolm Turnbull.”
Dutton defended the arrangement with Phnom Penh.
“The government remains
committed to supporting the
government of Cambodia to
implement settlement arrangements in Cambodia and encourages refugees temporarily in
Nauru to explore this settlement
option,” he said. — AFP
ed French criticism of alleged failings
by its intelligence services before the
attacks in which 130 people died.
RTBF cited as one “glaring example” of intelligence failings the fact
that “even before the Paris attacks,
a nom de guerre used by one of the
terrorists featured in several (police)
databases in Belgium, but not in the
central database”.
The broadcaster said it had seen
an interim report by police oversight
body Committee P that was presented to 14 lawmakers at a closed-door
meeting of a parliamentary committee on Monday.
The most serious deficiencies by
Belgian authorities were “technological”, RTBF said, adding that Belgium’s
different police branches did not
always correctly share information.
Committee P also highlighted
budget problems that meant “certain IT problems were not resolved”
and criticised a lack of “qualified
personnel”.
The committee’s final report is
due in mid-April.
It is expected to cover allegations
published last week by the Belgian press that police had received
tip-offs as early as July 2014 that
brothers Salah and Brahim Abdeslam — two of the Paris attackers
— had been radicalised and were
planning an attack. — AFP

confirm US strike
But say figure of more than 150 casualties exaggerated

MOGADISHU: Somali Islamist
group al-Shabaab confirmed yesterday that the United States had
bombed an area it controlled, but
said the US figure of more than 150
casualties was an exaggeration.
The Pentagon said it had
launched air strikes on a training
facility on Saturday that killed 150
fighters with the al-Qaeda-linked
group in the Horn of Africa nation.
“The US bombed an area controlled by al-Shabaab. But they
exaggerated the figure of casualties. We never gather 100 fighters
in one spot for security reasons.
We know the sky is full of planes,”
the group’s military spokesman
Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab told
Reuters.
He did not give a casualty figure or offer further details about
the raid.

alleged accomplices came from the

“Raso” training camp, a facility
about 120 miles north of the capital Mogadishu, the Pentagon said.
The US military had been monitoring the camp for several weeks
before the strike and had gathered
intelligence, including about an
imminent threat posed by those in
the camp to US forces and African
Union peacekeepers, officials said.
US Air Force Secretary Deborah
Lee James described the strike as
“defensive” in nature.
The African Union AMISOM
force, alongside the Somali army,
launched a campaign last year
that drove al-Shabaab out of its
major strongholds. But the group,
which wants to topple Somalia’s
Western-backed government, continues to launch raids.
In the past two weeks, its fighters have launched mortar attacks
near the presidential palace in
Mogadishu, blown up a car bomb
near a busy park in the capital,
and set off twin blasts in a town
north-west of the capital. Dozens of people have been killed.

‘EU to give Turkey more money,
lift visas for help on migrants’
BRUSSELS: European Union (EU)
leaders agreed to give Turkey more
money to help refugees, swiftly ease
visa requirements for Turks and
speed up Ankara’s accession talks
in exchange for its help in stemming
migration flows to Europe, they said
in a statement.
European Union leaders welcomed Turkey’s offer on Monday
to take back all migrants who cross
into Europe from its soil and agreed
in principle to Ankara’s demands
for more money, faster EU membership talks and quicker visa-free
travel in return.
However, key details remained
to be worked out and the 28 leaders ordered more work by officials
with a view to reaching an ambitious package deal with Turkey
at their next scheduled summit,
on March 17-18.
German Chancellor Angela
Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron, among others,
hailed the surprise Turkish proposal
at an emergency summit in Brussels as a potential breakthrough
in Europe’s politically toxic migration crisis.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet
Davutoglu told EU leaders that
Ankara was willing to take back all
migrants who enter Europe from
Turkey in future, including Syrian
refugees, as well as those intercepted in its territorial waters.
“With this game-changing position in fact our objective is to discourage illegal migration, to prevent
human smugglers, to help people who want to come to Europe
through encouraging legal migra-
tion in a disciplined and regular
manner,” he told a news conference
after the summit.
In exchange for stopping the influx, he demanded doubling EU
funding through 2018 to help Syrian refugees stay in Turkey and a
commitment to take in one Syrian
refugee directly from Turkey for each
one returned from Greece’s Aegean
islands, according to a document
seen by Reuters.
He also asked to bring forward
EU visa liberalisation for Turks to
June from end-2016 and to open
five more negotiating chapters in
Turkey’s long-stalled EU accession
process.
The EU leaders agreed to the earlier target date for visa-free travel
provided Ankara meets all the conditions. — Reuters

NEW YORK: US billionaire Michael Bloomberg announced on

74-year-old former New York

House, expressing public dismay
about a 2016 race dominated by
the insult-flinging Trump, the
current Republican front runner.
Bloomberg, whose US$41.7 billion (RM170.97 billion) fortune

person in the world according
to Forbes, accused fellow New

KEEPERS OF A LEGACY
Glenlivet Guardians
Malaysia brand ambassador
Lionel Lau on the club that
celebrates the rich heritage
and continuing relevance
of a 192-year-old brand
BY P ETRINA F ER NANDEZ
W
hat do a gourmet coffee tasting,
a siew yoke (roast pork) showdown and a haircut at Truefitt
& Hill have in common? The
answer, surprisingly, is Glenlivet single malt whisky. Each
experience has been featured on the agenda of the
Malaysian chapter of the Glenlivet Guardians, an
invite-only club started in November 2013.
Brand ambassador Lionel Lau, who is also the
executive director of boutique corporate communications agency Millennium Associates, was
approached by Pernod Ricard about adopting the
loyalty programme launched internationally a few
years earlier. The Glenlivet Guardians comprises a
global community of whisky lovers, who embody
the tenets of the brand — sophisticated, adventurous and appreciative of the wisdom of tradition
and the necessity for innovation.
Lau, who has an extensive background in wine
and spirits, was only too keen. The club launched
with an initial group of 42 members coming together to join thousands of Guardians around the
world to vote for the next limited-edition Glenlivet
bottle. Since then, membership has ballooned to
700 Guardians, who eagerly anticipate the variety
of pursuits through the club that exemplifies the
Glenlivet lifestyle.
“The nature of the industry is such that I don’t
have something new for you to taste every month
so we decided instead to create events that can
relate back to whisky,” said Lau. “One of the key
elements of the Glenlivet philosophy is that taste
is more than just flavour; it is an entire sensorial

experience, encompassing aroma, texture, colour.
Your mood, your environment, all these play a role
in your enjoyment of a drink.”
Unique events such as ice-cream pairings and
gourmet cheese tastings succeed in keeping interest in the club high. “We collaborated with an
independent coffee roaster on a pairing and she
selected two excellent single-origin beans from
Kenya and Rwanda,” he continued. “There are
parallels in the tastings of whisky and coffee and
she really brought that to the forefront for us. The
participants enjoyed attempting to articulate the
differences between each — everyone had a really good time and we even converted a number
of non-coffee drinkers that night.”
Similarly captivating was the siew yoke showdown between two roast pork masters — the
Crack Pork brand and independent purveyor Boon
Cheam Kar Mun, who used to run Boon Signature
Recipe. The two served their best cuts to attendees,
who washed them down with whisky, and Boon’s
was declared the clear favourite. In events like this
and the Truefitt & Hill excursion, the spotlight isn’t
on the whisky and it is precisely this elegant sub-
tlety that endears the club to members.
Criteria differ from country to country and the
Malaysian chapter’s approach is particularly interesting. “In Singapore, I believe the local chapter looks for influencers to be Guardians — key
opinion leaders such as bloggers, for instance,”
said Lau. “We are a bigger market geographically
and have decided to turn members into influencers. Many people wouldn’t have heard of some of
our Guardians — they’re young, entrepreneurial
and low profile, and it is them I want to become
advocates of the brand within their own circles.”
Professionals primarily aged between 25 and 45,
members discover a multitude of shared interests
or philosophies among themselves and often form
informal spin-off groups, gathering over dinner or
drink. “That’s what we want to do — create conversations beyond whisky, create a community
of like-minded individuals,” said the ambassador.
“Our sessions, when they involve whisky, are never
too technical or heavy. People remember the brand
better when they have a good time and take away
just a couple of key messages at the end.”
Privileges of membership, apart from being invited to exclusive events, include the opportunity
to purchase limited-edition whiskies. In 2014, the
Glenlivet Winchester Collection Vintage 1964 was
released, the first of a series of 50-year-olds, and
Malaysia was allocated one of 50 bottles. An auction was held with bidding open solely to Guardians and at the eleventh hour, at the end of the
50-day bidding period, four friends put together
the winning bid of RM96,000.
“What’s even more special about that bottle —
and I think this will be the most valuable of the
entire series — is that it was part of the last batch
distilled by Captain Bill Smith-Grant, the last distilling descendent of Glenlivet founder George
Smith, in 1964” said Lau. “Bottle No 1 was sold at
Harrods in London to the tune of £18,000.”
Glenlivet Guardian activities are currently centred around the Klang Valley but its reach will
soon extend to Penang and Johor. Lau envisions
a 2,000-strong membership someday but is unhurried about reaching that milestone. “The club
has to grow organically,” he says. “We are in no
rush.” And rightly so — appointing the keepers
of a 192-year-old brand is a serious undertaking
deserving of due consideration.

Art melds with food and wine
in Hong Kong
WITH Hong Kong’s art scene coming to fruition this
March, The Langham in Hong Kong is launching a
tasteful series of artistic sensory experiences at their
in-house dining destinations. The Elements of Art
Menu will reflect local artist Michael Lam’s collection of the classic four elements, while the Artesian
bar reveals cocktail art impressions inspired by renowned masterpieces.
Recipient of the 40 Under 40 award that honours
future design leaders by Perspective magazine in 2015,
aspiring Hong Kong artist Michael Lam unveils his
new collection called the Elements of Art (2016) that
will be on display in the restaurant. Demonstrating oil
painting technique and his cross-cultural East meets
West abstract style, he depicts his interpretation of
nature’s four essential elements — earth, water, air
and fire. The visual language of each painting stirs a
different emotion by creating a composition of various colours, expressive shapes and textures.
Transforming this collection’s vision to palatable
art, The Langham’s executive chef Pedro Samper has
created a four-course dining tour of the elements.
Representing water, the journey begins with a cold
appetiser of Hokkaido scallop and sea urchin carpaccio. The principle ingredients are treasures of the
sea accompanied by avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers
and purple shiso to offer the dish waves of flavour.
The earth section is represented by Iberico ham
and a poached organic egg served on planted migas crumb soil with rooted porcini mushrooms and
black truffle. For fire, Pedro trains the spotlight on
roasted lamb and Boston Maine lobster, along with
blood orange carrots, crispy beetroot and a brush of
beetroot aioli. Finally, wind down with Air, a sweet
dessert of blueberry and lilac flowers with sprinkles
of white chocolate.
Drawing upon the similarities between cocktails
and art, Artesian bar mixologist Rajendra “Rush”
Limbu handcrafts his rendition of three works of
art on top of blank canvas cocktails. Celebrating
post-impressionism art, Rush transforms Vincent
van Gogh’s Starry Night (1889) into an artful libation. His depiction is displayed on top and incorporates Chalong Bay Rum, Frangelico, herbal Strega
liqueur, Bittermens Xocolatl Bitters, fresh lime juice,
and a dash of Blue Curacao to represent the paintings night sky filled with swirling clouds against the

Big business opportunity sitting almost untouched in Asia

only look at their Western counterparts. Bloomberg News reported
yesterday that Wells Fargo & Co,
not primarily known for aggressive investment banking, plans to
increase its CDS trading. The lender’s focus will be on the least liquid
and most underserved corner of
the market — insurance against
defaults by companies.
Wells Fargo is plugging a huge
gap. In December, 25 investment
firms including BlackRock and Pacific Investment Management Co
announced plans to voluntarily
clear the instruments to help revive
the shrinking market.
While swaps with a notional
value of US$1.7 trillion (RM6.98
trillion) had traded by last Friday,
up 35% from the same period last
year, the market is still pretty illiquid, especially for contracts that
insure against a single corporation
missing payment. Most of the trading happens in indices.
After the US insurer AIG was
brought to its knees during the
global financial crisis, partly because of its exposure to default
swaps, the number of entities willing to sell the derivatives dwindled,
and so did the trades themselves.
That was in spite of a movement by
the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc to simplify
the product and to have more of it
cleared by central counterparties,
which reduces the risk that if one
trader fails — as happened with
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc —
all the others will be left holding
the bag.
Dwindling liquidity
CDS are perhaps the most effective way to hedge against losses
on credit exposure to a company,
industry or country. They should
in the asset class in the first two
months of the year. The strategy is
common among hedge funds in
Asia exposed to high-yield credit.
Traditional fixed-income mutual
funds, in which smaller investors
without the clout to participate in
hedge funds can invest, are usually
barred from trading stock, leaving
them naked in a sell-off. A more
liquid CDS market would plug that
gap and reduce the pain for smaller stock and bond fund investors.
If regional exchanges such as
those of Singapore and Hong Kong
entered the business as central
counterparties, they would also find
a much sought-after new source
of revenues as stock trading volumes drop.
The Hong Kong exchange had
already taken a deeper plunge into
commodities with its acquisition
of the London Metal Exchange,
which helped boost 2015 earnings. Singapore’s bourse is trying
to buy London’s Baltic Exchange
to emulate its neighbour’s success in shipping. Both moves were
driven by dropping revenues in
stock trading.
As defaults in Asia increase, the
demand for insurance will, too.
More providers will be needed and
they are more likely to surface if
there are strong central counterparties. The biggest exchanges have
a profit incentive to foster growth.
There will be hiccups and the occasional breakdown, as is bound
to happen with derivatives. The
have grown in the past eight years benefits of more activity, howevas the amount of bonds outstand- er, probably outweigh the risks.

“While the economy is stagnant,
the Bank of Japan imposed a negative interest rate policy. There are
lots of concerns in the market, and
the government needs to come up
with a growth strategy and fiscal
policy to lift the economy and the
mood,” said Nobuhiko Kuramochi,
a strategist at Mizuho Securities.
Kuramochi said that the market
will likely continue taking cues from

while investors will keep an eye on

“This decision is clearly negative for the group, as it underscores the significant difference
in opinions within the group concerning this project which, if realised as it is, will put the group’s
financial situation under pressure,”
said Xavier Caroen, analyst at
Bryan Garnier.
Old Mutual rose 6.9% as the company said it was considering strategic
options following a Sky News report
that the financial services company
was plotting a £9 billion break-up.
However, banking shares lost
ground, with Goldman Sachs cutting
its price targets on Credit Agricole
and Societe Generale, while JPMorgan cut its price target on Barclays.
European banks may also be
adversely impacted if the European Central Bank pushes its deposit
rate deeper into negative territory
tomorrow in a bid to boost economic activity in the eurozone.
While such a move could encourage banks to lend out more, it
could also hit their profit margins.
“Bank lending rates continue to
come down, especially in the periphery, suggesting that banks are
not able to recoup margins through
raising lending rates,” said Elga
Bartsch, global co-head of economics at Morgan Stanley. — Agencies

Yen and Swiss franc rise
on downbeat Chinese data
The safe-haven yen and Swiss franc rose
yesterday as downbeat Chinese trade data
fuelled concerns about the state of global
demand, weighing on appetite for riskier
assets and currencies.
China’s February exports slumped 25.4%
from a year earlier while imports dropped
13.8%.
The euro was pegged back, giving up
earlier gains against the US dollar, and
falling 0.5% against the yen. The outlook
for the single currency was considerably
clouded by tomorrow’s policy review by
the European Central Bank.
Both currencies tend to outperform
during times of financial market volatility
and economic uncertainty as investors in
both regions unwind investments abroad
and bring their savings home. — Reuters

Oil edges lower after Kuwait
dents hopes for output freeze
Oil prices edged lower yesterday after Kuwait said it would only agree to an output
freeze if all major producers take part and
Goldman Sachs analysts poured cold water
over the prospect of a sustained rally.
Brent crude futures were down 23 US
cents at US$40.61 a barrel, hovering above
the US$40 mark it last traded at three months
ago. On Monday the contract had climbed
by 5.5% in intraday trading and it has gained
about 50% since Jan 20. US crude futures
were down 37 US cents at US$37.53 a barrel.
“Prices are lower on the Goldman Sachs
and Kuwaiti comments and the oil market
remains oversupplied,” said Tamas Varga,
oil analyst at PVM in London.
Kuwait’s oil minister said yesterday that
his country’s participation in an output freeze
would require all major oil producers, including Iran, to be on board. — Reuters

last 5 trading days. The table captures the build-up of interest in these companies and is thus a gauge of
market expectations for these counters.
