SINGAPORE: The authorities are
probing “complex and layered
transactions” with “cross-border
elements” involving many shell
companies in their investigations
into 1Malaysia Development Bhd
(1MDB), according to prosecutors here.
This was revealed by Singapore’s chief prosecutor Tan Ken
Hwee at the third mention in the
state court in the case involving
Kelvin Ang Wee Keng, who was
charged with corrupt transactions
in a massive ongoing probe into
1MDB.
While the submission in court
again made no mention of 1MDB,
it is widely accepted that the case
involves the probe into the money
trail of Malaysia’s troubled statebacked firm.
“Unravelling, unpacking and
comprehensively analysing all
the transactions have taken, and
will continue to take, a significant
amount of time,” said Tan in his
submission for Ang to be further
remanded for another week.
Ang, 34, was charged on April
20 for corruptly giving a gratification sum of S$3,000 (RM8,797)
sometime between 2013 and 2014
to research analyst Lee Chee Waiy
to expedite preparation of a favourable valuation report to be
issued by his equity research firm.

He also dealt extensively for
over two years with another accused in the 1MDB case, ex-private
banker of BSI Singapore Yeo Jiawei and “some others implicated
in improper dealings”, according
to Tan.
“Progress has been made in
the investigations regarding the
accused’s role in the various matters being scrutinised. There are
still, however, some remaining in-
vestigations that require a further
period of remand,” Tan submitted.
“CAD (Commercial Affairs
Department) officers have been
working on this and related matters round-the-clock, and we expect to finalise the position in relation to this accused within the
next six days,” he added.

‘Hong Kong bank accounts frozen
for some entangled in 1MDB probe’
SINGAPORE: Hong Kong bank
accounts belonging to several unnamed individuals have been frozen amid global investigations into
the finances of a troubled Malaysian state fund, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Those who had their funds
locked are being probed by authorities in countries outside
Malaysia, such as Singapore, the
people said, asking not to be identified because of the sensitivity of
the matter.
1Malaysia Development Bhd
(1MDB), which defaulted on its
debt last month, is at the centre of
multiple inquiries stretching from
Switzerland to the United States
amid allegations of money laundering and embezzlement, and has
consistently denied wrongdoing.
Malaysia’s central bank last week
fined 1MDB and announced it was
ending its investigation.
It’s not clear which Hong Kong
authorities ordered the accounts
Indonesia’s Lotte Mart
halts Reckitt Benckiser
orders amid outcry
SEOUL: Supermarket chain Lotte
Mart said it will stop ordering
some Reckitt Benckiser Group
plc products, after the British
maker of household cleaners
was among companies probed
by South Korean authorities for
selling humidifier disinfectants
linked to respiratory illnesses and
death among users. The Lotte
Shopping Co Ltd unit, which
operates about 100 supermarkets in the country, cited public
calls for boycotts as the reason for
its move. Reckitt Benckiser had
stopped selling the disinfectant
made by its South Korean Oxy
unit since 2011, amid reports of
fatalities among users of products made by Reckitt Benckiser
and other companies, including
Lotte Mart’s own in-house brand.

IN BRIEF
freeze, or if the banks acted on
their own volition. The Financial
Times in September reported that
Hong Kong police were investigating some deposits related
to 1MDB after a complaint was
lodged. Malaysia said those claims
were baseless and politically motivated, the newspaper reported.
Hong Kong’s anti-corruption
agency and the police said they
don’t comment on individual
cases.
Authorities in Singapore said in
February they had frozen “a large
number” of accounts in connection with possible money laundering related to the 1MDB probe.
The Southeast Asian nation has
charged two men following investigations into their dealings
with the fund and related entities. Prosecutors there describe
the probe as its “most complex
cross-border investigation”.
Authorities in other countries
such as Switzerland are also ex-
amining claims that 1MDB was
used to funnel money to politically-connected individuals. A
Malaysian parliamentary committee had identified at least US$4.2
billion of irregular transactions
by the fund.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib
Razak chairs the advisory board
of 1MDB and has faced calls from
opposition politicians and former
leader Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
to resign as premier over alleged
mismanagement at the fund. He
has consistently denied wrongdoing.
The Malaysian attorney-general’s office in January cleared
Najib of any graft in receiving a
large donation in his personal accounts from the Saudi royal family
before the 2013 general election,
with most of the money later returned. It rejected at least two
requests from Malaysia’s central
bank for criminal proceedings
against 1MDB. — Bloomberg
LONDON: Asset manager Pimco said yesterday it was time to
actively engage in emerging
markets again and highlighted
the Russian rouble and Mexican peso as examples of assets
that offered potential gains.
Pimco’s head of asset allocation
for EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), Geraldine
Sundstrom, said commodity
prices appeared to be hitting
a bottom, Chinese growth was
stabilising and the dollar was
no longer on an uptrend. “The
landscape in emerging markets
has been steadily improving
over the last few months. With
this in mind, we are beginning
to redeploy capital to EM where
we can find good value,” Sundstrom said in a note. — Reuters
US private sector job
growth slows in April
NEW YORK: US private employers added 156,000 jobs in
April, well below economists’
expectations and the weakest
gain in three years, a report by a
payrolls processor showed yesterday. Economists surveyed by
Reuters had forecast the ADP
National Employment Report
would show a gain of 196,000
jobs, with estimates ranging from 116,000 to 225,000.
It was the smallest increase
since April 2013. Private payroll
gains in the month earlier were
revised down to 194,000 from
an originally reported 200,000
increase. — Reuters
CVC Capital poaches top
HSBC SEA dealmaker
SINGAPORE: CVC Capital Partners, the biggest European buyout firm, has hired HSBC Holdings plc’s most senior Southeast
Asia (SEA) dealmaker Alvin
Lim, people with knowledge
of the matter said. Lim, who
was a managing director and
head of SEA banking advisory
at HSBC, will start work at CVC
Capital next month, focusing

NEWS IN BRIEF
1MDB board quits, advisory
board to be dissolved
Changes come shortly after fund defaulted on interest payment
BY GHO C H EE Y UAN
KUALA LUMPUR: Minister of
Finance Inc (MoF Inc) confirms
its acceptance of the resignation
of 1Malaysia Development Bhd’s
(1MDB) current board of directors effective May 31, in line with
the governance changes and asset transfer.
MoF Inc also announced
that 1MDB’s board of advisers,
chaired by Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Najib Razak, will be dissolved
under the changes to the troubled strategic investment fund’s
governance.
Accordingly, MoF Inc said in
the statement yesterday that the
Article 117 of 1MDB’s memorandum and articles of association
will be removed and all references of “prime minister” will be
changed to “Minister of Finance”.
The ownership of Bandar Malaysia Sdn Bhd, TRX City Sdn
Bhd, Air Itam land and Pulau Indah land will also be transferred
from 1MDB to MoF Inc, according to the statement.
MoF Inc’s announcement
comes on the heels of 1MDB having defaulted on interest payment of US$50.3 million to its
bondholders on April 25. 1MDB’s
default triggers cross default on

all its debt papers that are guaranteed by the government, including
the RM5 billion sukuk plus RM800
million loan by the Social Security
Organisation or Socso.
The MoF Inc, the sole shareholder of 1MDB, said it will appoint new
members in due course to reflect the
limited business profile of the fund.
MoF Inc said the changes follow recommendations made in the
Public Accounts Committee (PAC)
report on 1MDB, which included
the resignation of the current board
of directors.
“After a detailed study and due
deliberation, MoF Inc has agreed
to fully implement the various rec-
ommendations contained in the
PAC report on 1MDB,” MoF Inc
said in the statement.
According to 1MDB’s website, its board of directors comprises chairman Tan Sri Lodin
Wok Kamaruddin, president and
group executive director Arul
Kanda Kandasamy, former 1MDB
chief executive officer Datuk
Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi,
directors Tan Sri Ismee Ismail,
Tan Sri Ong Gim Huat and Ashvin J Valiram.
The current board members
on April 7 offered their resignations to MoF Inc.
MoF Inc said, nevertheless,
Arul Kanda will remain in his
current role as president of
1MDB until further notice. “He
will continue to focus on his specific mandate to implement the
rationalisation plan, which will
include resolution of the recent
contractual dispute with International Petroleum Investment Co.”
To recap, besides the change
of governance and asset transfer, one of the highlights in the
PAC report is that the committee wants an investigation into
1MDB’s former chief executive
officer Shahrol Azral and other
executives. The committee, however, did not reveal those names.
Ringgit falls most in eight months on US rate hike talk
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit
slumped by the most in eight months
after Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
president Dennis Lockhart said a US
interest-rate increase in June was “a
real option”.
The comments sparked a surge in
the greenback, with the Bloomberg
Dollar Spot Index rising from the
lowest level in a year. Brent crude
hovered around US$45 (RM180) a
barrel after falling more than 6%
in the past two days, dimming the
outlook for Malaysia’s finances as
Asia’s only major net oil exporter.
The weakness in the commodity
price has helped send the ringgit
to its lowest level since March 29.
While Lockhart said two rate increases are possible this year, futures
are only pricing in a 12% probability
of such a move by June and 55% by
the final meeting in December 2016.
Mitul Kotecha, the head of Asian
foreign-exchange and interest-rate
strategy at Barclays plc in Singapore,
said the moves in regional currencies
reflected more of a “market positioning shift” than a fundamental one.
“This partly reflects the dollar’s
turnaround,” Kotecha said. “That,
combined with the fact that there’s
been a drop in commodity prices,
has weighed on some currencies
such as the ringgit.”
The ringgit dropped 1.5% to
3.9925 per dollar in Kuala Lumpur, the biggest decline since Sept
7, according to prices from local
banks compiled by Bloomberg. It’s
now fallen 2.3% this quarter, after
rising more than 10% in the previous three months.
1Malaysia Development Bhd
(1MDB), the state-owned investment company that defaulted on
a US$1.75 billion bond last week,
is asking investors to hold off any
request for early repayment on its
Islamic debt, according to a person
familiar with the matter. 1MDB has
submitted a request to the trustees
of RM7.24 billion (US$1.8 billion) of
sukuk for a waiver on the “acceleration process” for the bonds, the person said, asking not to be identified
because the information isn’t public.
The Minister of Finance Inc, the
shareholder of 1MDB, said the board
will resign on May 31, according to
an emailed statement yesterday,
while Arul Kanda Kandasamy will
remain as company president.
Malaysian 10-year government
bonds fell, with the yield rising two
basis points to 3.9%, according
to prices from Bursa Malaysia. —

Kobay Technology to undertake restructuring
KUALA LUMPUR: Kobay Technology Bhd plans to undertake
an internal group reorganisation
via inter-companies’ disposal of
its entire stake in four of its wholly-owned units to another wholly-owned subsidiary, Lipo Corp
Sdn Bhd, for RM18.8 million.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia,
Kobay said the exercise will allow
for better management and control
of the manufacturing activities under the same portfolio.
Kobay said it had entered into a
share sale agreement to dispose of
its stake in Polytool Technologies Sdn
Bhd, Maker Technologies Sdn Bhd,
Bend Weld Engineering Sdn Bhd and
Omni Value Chain Sdn Bhd with Lipo.
The total cash consideration that
will be raised by Lipo is via an issuance of 5.63 million ordinary shares
of RM1 each at an issue price of
RM3.35 per share in the paid-up
capital of Lipo.
Kobay said the transactions will
not give rise to any gain or loss to
the group, but at the company level, it shall record a gain from the
disposal of RM13.99 million after
deducting the original cost of investment of RM4.8 million in the
four companies.
The transactions are expected to
be completed by the second quarter
of calendar year 2016.
Daibochi trims dividend
in 1QFY16
KUALA LUMPUR: Daibochi
Plastic and Packaging Industry Bhd, which will expand
into the Australia and New
Zealand (ANZ) market beginning this quarter, saw its
net profit growing 5.2% to
RM6.51 million or 2.38 sen
per share in the first financial quarter ended March 31,
2016 (1QFY16), from RM6.19
million or 2.27 sen per share
a year ago.
Quarterly revenue was 4.1%
higher at RM89.7 million, from
RM86.16 million a year earlier (1QFY15), due to increase
in export sales, particularly
with more orders from a Thai
customer in line with its marketing campaign.
The plastic packaging manufacturer declared an interim
dividend of 1.45 sen, substantailly lower compared with
3.5 sen in the previous corresponding quarter. The dividend is payable on June 10.
Going forward, Daibochi
said it remains steadfast in its
strategy to constantly explore
opportunities to expand export
sales and introduce innovative
products to drive long-term
growth.
In this regard, it is on track
to commence the delivery of
its new export contracts to the
ANZ market, from the second
and third quarters of 2016 onwards.
“In line with our ongoing
long-term expansion plans,
the group has commenced the
second phase of expansion of
Daibochi Plastic Plant 2 with a
capital expenditure of approximately RM13 million, which
includes new machinery and
other works,” it added.
Extra time for Lion Corp to
submit regularisation plan
KUALA LUMPUR: Lion Corp
Bhd has obtained Bursa Malaysia’s approval for an extension
of time to submit its regularisation plan.
The loss-making steel giant
now has up to July 31 to submit
the plan.
Lion Corp, which has been
in Practice Note 17 status since
October 2013, noted that Bursa
Malaysia has the right to suspend the counter if it fails to
submit the plan before the
deadline.
The company announced
in October last year that it
was in the midst of securing
potential investors for its subsidiary as part of its regularisation plan.
It said its 78.89%-owned
subsidiary, Megasteel Sdn Bhd,
will be included in the plan,
adding that the group will continue to seek potential investors
to invest in Megasteel.
Megasteel is principally involved in the manufacturing
and sale of hot-rolled coils and
cold-rolled coils.
Lion Corp’s share price
closed up 0.5 sen or 12.5% at
4.5 sen, with a market capitalisation of RM59.23 million.

Concerns over
1MDB weigh on
AMMB’s share price
Controversies do have an indirect impact on ANZ’s stake
BY TA N SI EW MU NG
KUALA LUMPUR: Australia and
New Zealand Banking Group Ltd’s
(ANZ) chief has hinted that concerns over controversies surrounding 1Malaysia Development Bhd
(1MDB) do have an indirect impact
on the value of its stake in AMMB
Holdings Bhd.
Besides, he told the media that
ANZ has yet to receive any “formal” offers to buy its 23.78% stake
in AMMB.
ANZ chief executive officer (CEO)
Shayne Elliott was quoted by an
Australian daily The Australian as
saying it was unquestionable that
1MDB’s debt concerns and the Malaysian economy had a broad-based
impact on Malaysian asset valuations. AMMB’s share price was no
exception, he commented.
“Has the 1MDB and the Malaysian economy and all those situations, impacted the AmBank
(AMMB) share price? Unquestionably.”
“It (1MDB) has impacted the valuation of lots of things in Malaysia,
so it will have had an impact. But
it’s not a direct response to that,”
Elliott was quoted by the media as
saying in a press conference on May
3 to release its financial results for
the first half financial year ended
March 31, 2016.
ANZ through ANZ Funds Pty
Ltd is the largest shareholder of
AMMB, holding a 23.78% stake. The
Employees Provident Fund is the
second biggest shareholder with a
15.01% stake, followed by Tan Sri
Elliott: ANZ has yet to receive any ‘formal’
offers to buy its 23.78% stake in AMMB.
Azman Hashim with 12.97%.
Elliott stressed that ANZ has no
exposure to 1MDB. He said there
was “no 1MDB issue” for the ANZ
board to discuss. “We don’t have an
exposure to 1MDB.”
“In terms of our partnership or
the minority investment that we
have in (AmBank’s holding company) AMMB, all of those stakes
get discussed regularly.”
Under a shareholder agreement
ANZ is entitled to appoint up to four
AmBank directors, plus its chief financial officer and chief risk officer,
and be consulted on the appointment of the CEO, according to The
Australian.
Nonetheless, Elliott, who was on
the AmBank board until October last
year, reiterated that ANZ “doesn’t
run that bank”.
“ANZ is not formally party to detailed information around the bank
there and therefore it would not be
appropriate or frankly even poten-
tially legal for our board to be having in-depth information sharing
around specific allegations,” he said.
The Australian reported that ANZ
chief financial officer Graeme Hodges declined to reveal how much money AmBank had loaned to 1MDB.
AmBank hogged the limelight
when news reported that Prime
Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak
received RM2.6 billion cash through
his personal account in the bank.
Najib explained that the money was
a donation from the Middle East.
Prior to that, Ashok Ramamurthy from ANZ stepped down as the
group managing director of AMMB
in late January 2015. Ashok joined
AmBank group from ANZ in 2007,
first as chief financial officer before
taking on the top position in 2012.
His resignation at the time sparked
rumours that it was over controversial loans that AmBank Group had
extended to 1MDB. However, AmBank group reiterated that Ashok’s
resignation was not related to any
issues with 1MDB. Ashok in March
this year also left ANZ.
On Tuesday, ANZ announced
that it had incurred a A$260 million (RM777.8 million) impairment
on its investment in AMMB during
the first half ended March 31, 2016
(1HFY16).
In its filing with the Australian
Stock Exchange, ANZ explained
that the AMMB impairment was
among reasons for ANZ’s weaker
1HFY16 financials, compared with
a year earlier. During 1HFY16, ANZ
said statutory profit after tax fell to
A$2.74 billion from A$3.51 billion.
Blackstone said in talks to buy
Sime Darby’s Australian assets
SINGAPORE: Blackstone Group
LP is in talks to acquire industrial
property assets in Australia valued
at about A$250 million (RM748 million)from Malaysian palm oil producer Sime Darby Bhd, according
to people familiar with the matter.
The New York-based private equity firm is in discussions to acquire as
many as five industrial buildings in
Australia, the people said, asking not
to be identified because the discussions aren’t public. Blackstone has
also agreed to buy a majority stake
in three of Sime Darby’s property
assets in Singapore valued at about
S$300 million (RM884 million), the
people said.
The conglomerate, Malaysia’s
biggest listed palm oil producer, is
looking to sell its property assets in
Australia and Singapore in its efforts
to pare down debt. Chief executive officer Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh told
reporters at a Feb 24 briefing in Kuala
Lumpur that the company is seeking
to raise RM1.5 billion through sales.
“In Australia, we have 13 properties and in Singapore we have three.
We are looking at disposing of office
buildings and industrial properties
in the two countries,” Mohd Bakke
told reporters in February. The asset
sales and an Islamic bond issuance
will help reduce Sime Darby’s gearing to 54% by the fiscal year ending
June 30 from 61% currently, Mohd
Bakke said at the time.
“We are working on various options including asset monetisation
to help manage the gearing level,” Sime Darby said in an emailed
statement on Tuesday, declining to
comment on any talks with Blackstone. A Blackstone spokeswoman
declined to comment on the talks.
The properties in Australia are the
ones associated with the conglomerate’s industrial unit, Sime Darby Industrial Division, the world’s
third-largest Caterpillar dealer. The
industrial unit has dealerships across
more than 140 branches in 10 countries throughout the Asia-Pacific.
The Singapore sale by Sime Darby was reported last week by The
Business Times. — Bloomberg

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia,
THHE, whose largest shareholder
is Lembaga Tabung Haji, said it
is not in talks with MISC to sell
its floating production, storage
and offloading (FPSO) unit, fabrication business nor the Pulau
Indah yard to the latter.
The loss-making oil and gas
support industry player also confirmed that its application to Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) for
financing did not materialise.
“No reasons were provided [by
Maybank]. THHE is still pursuing
its financing efforts in order to deliver the FPSO project,” it added.
MISC also told Bursa that it is
not involved in any ongoing dis-
cussions with THHE to acquire
the latter’s floating production and
fabrication businesses.
Both companies were responding to news reports that MISC was
in talks to acquire THHE. To recap,
THHE had won the FPSO project
worth US$900 million from Japan’s
JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration
Corp in May 2014, which was the
group’s first FPSO project. THHE
started fabricating works on the
FPSO topside at its Pulau Indah
yard in September last year, which
was due for completion by the third
quarter of this year.
L a s t m o n t h , T H H E ’s
70%-owned subsidiary THHE Fabricators Sdn Bhd was banned from
participating in future tenders from
Petronas Carigali Bhd for two years
due to performance-related issues
pertaining to the procurement and
construction of a topside for the
Kinabalu project, off Sabah.
MISC shares closed one sen or
0.12% higher at RM8.36 yesterday,
while THHE’s share price ended
the day unchanged at 13.5 sen.
Government mulling free-float
mechanism for oil prices, says Chua
KUALA LUMPUR: The government is mulling the possibility
of replacing the managed float
mechanism with a free-float system to set petrol and diesel retail prices, said Deputy Finance
Minister Datuk Chua Tee Yong.
A free-float system could benefit consumers by introducing
competition among petrol station
operators, although more detailed studies are needed before
a final decision is made, he said.
“The government is studying
the possibility of implementing
a free-float system to replace the
current managed float method,
but it has not been decided whether oil prices will be determined
daily, weekly or fortnightly,” he
told the Dewan Negara yesterday.
He was replying to a supplementary question from Senator
Datuk Mohd Suhaimi Abdullah,
who wanted to know whether the
government would follow the example of some countries in implementing a free-float mechanism
amid the volatile global crude oil
prices. Chua said under the present managed float mechanism,
RON95 petrol and diesel do not
come under the goods and services tax, and their prices are lower
than in neighbouring countries.
Chua said the government
would continue with the managed
float system in operation since
Dec 1, 2014. “Under this mechanism, the retail prices of RON95
petrol and diesel are based on the
average world price of crude oil in
the previous month, so if global
oil prices drop, petrol pump prices of RON95 petrol and diesel in
the country would go down correspondingly, and vice versa,” he
said. — Bernama
AirAsia chops Bali-Kota Kinabalu
route from June 23
BY C H E S T E R TAY
KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Bhd
said it is terminating its Bali-Kota
Kinabalu route from June 23 due
to “stagnant market growth”.
“We worked hard to make the
route connecting Kota Kinabalu
and Bali a success, offering continuous low fares in addition to
substantial marketing and advertising initiatives. However, stagnant
market growth has unfortunately
impacted the operation of this route
and revenues are insufficient to
offset the costs,” said AirAsia chief
executive officer Aireen Omar.
She said AirAsia’s operational costs had also increased “quite
substantially” at the Kota Kinablu
International Airport’s Terminal 1.
The budget airline was forced
to move its operations from the
airport’s Terminal 2 to Terminal 1
in December last year.
Aireen stressed that a dedicated
low-cost carrier (LCC) facility in
Kota Kinabalu “is inevitable”.
“It is our ambition to make Kota
Kinabalu into a regional hub where
we can further grow our connectivity and continue to increase our fleet
as we forecast 12 million passenger arrivals and departures in Kota
Kinabalu per annum by year 2021.
“We can do this successfully
with a dedicated LCC terminal in
Kota Kinabalu,” she said.

MAA Group selling
its 75% stake
in takaful arm
Proposes to declare an interim special dividend of 35 sen
BY MEENA L A KSHA NA
KUALA LUMPUR: MAA Group Bhd
is selling its 75%-owned subsidiary MAA Takaful Bhd to Zurich
Insurance Co Ltd for RM393.75
million cash.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, MAA Group said
its original costs of investment in
MAA Takaful were RM75 million.
Assuming that the proposed
disposal was completed on Dec
31, 2015, MAA Group expects to
record a pro forma non-recurring gain on disposal of RM289.5
million.
This follows the group receiving
approval from the finance minister, vide Bank Negara Malaysia’s
letter dated April 27, for the proposed disposal.
Solidarity Group Holding BSC,
which holds the remaining 25%
equity interest in MAA Takaful,
will also be disposing of its stake
to Zurich for RM131.25 million.
MAA Group said it and Solidarity had signed an agreement with
Zurich for the proposed disposal
of MAA Takaful for a combined
RM525 million.
MAA Group also said after the
completion of the disposal, the
MAA Group says its original costs of
investment in MAA Takaful were RM75
million.
board is proposing to declare an
interim special dividend of 35 sen
per MAA Group share, amounting
to approximately RM100.8 million, at an entitlement date to be
determined and announced later.
“The total amount under the
proposed special dividend shall
be payable out of the disposal consideration,” it added.
“It is the intention of the board
to maintain the listing status of
MAA Group and to utilise the remaining proceeds of RM196.7 million [after deducting estimated
expenses relating to the proposal
of RM2.5 million] to acquire prospective new businesses and/or
assets within 24 months from the
completion date,” said MAA Group.
However, it said it had not identified any potential investment
opportunities. “The board is still
evaluating options for the optimal
utilisation of the said proceeds inorder to maximise its shareholder
value.”
MAA Group said the proposed
disposal provides an opportunity
for it to unlock and realise the value of its investment at an attractive valuation amid an increasingly competitive insurance and
takaful sector.
“The proposed disposal is timely and [MAA Group] is of the view
that as a stand-alone takaful company without banking business nor
strategic partnership, prospects for
MAA Takaful will be challenging.
“Therefore, the proposed disposal represents a good opportunity for the group to unlock the value
of its investment in MAA Takaful,
as well as for the company going
forward,” said MAA Group.
MAA Group shares closed unchanged at RM1.06 yesterday,
with a market capitalisation of
RM305.16 million.
No plans to revise GDP and fiscal
deficit targets, says Mohd Irwan
KUALA LUMPUR: The government is not planning to revise its gross domestic product
(GDP) and fiscal deficit targets,
although global crude oil prices have stabilised at around
US$45 (RM179.55) per barrel
and above the US$35 mark set
for Budget 2016, said Treasury
Secretary-General Tan Sri Dr
Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah.
“It’s still premature. We don’t
know whether the prices will remain this stable. We are watching closely [the movement of oil
prices] and will maintain the GDP
growth target.
“But in terms of the fiscal deficit, we have some space as [with]
higher oil prices, we can undertake more programmes and projects,” Mohd Irwan told a press
conference after launching Malaysia Debt Ventures Bhd’s Elevate programme here yesterday.

F&N’s 2Q net profit up 28.5%,
pays 27 sen dividend
BY G H O C H E E Y UA N
KUALA LUMPUR: Fraser & Neave
Holdings Bhd’s (F&N) net profit
rose 28.5% to RM90.57 million or
24.7 sen per share in the second
financial quarter ended March
31, 2016 (2QFY16), from RM70.49
million or 19.3 sen per share a year
ago, on higher sales and a better
product mix.
Quarterly revenue was up
6.3% to RM999.17 million, from
RM939.89 million in 2QFY15. F&N
also declared an interim dividend
of 27 sen per share, amounting to
RM99 million, payable on June 15.
For the half-year period ended
March 31, 2016 (1HFY16), its net
profit grew 72.5% to RM242.23
million or 66.2 sen per share,
from RM140.43 million or 38.4
sen per share in 1HFY15. Revenue rose 3.5% to RM2.05 billion,
from RM1.98 billion a year ago.
In a statement yesterday, F&N
said the group underwent an internal organisation to align its
operations and management
structure during the period. Its
operating businesses are now organised according to products
and services, namely Foods and
Beverages Malaysia, Foods and
Beverages Thailand, Property and
Others segments.
Its Foods and Beverages Malaysia segment for 1HFY16 recorded
a 39.5% jump in operating profit to
RM145.9 million, from RM104.6
million in 1HFY15. F&N’s Foods
and Beverages Thailand’s operating profit almost doubled to
RM107.8 million in 1HFY16, from
RM56 million a year ago, lifted
by lower milk-based commodity
prices, lower trade discounting
and favourable baht conversion.
On prospects for the remaining
two quarters, F&N chief executive
officer Lim Yew Hoe expects the
market to continue to see higher trade price competition, and
end-consumer campaigns and
programmes, which will impact
contribution margins.
RAM raises 2016 CPO price forecast,
citing lower output
BY SANGEETHA AMARTHALINGAM
KUALA LUMPUR: RAM Rating
Services Bhd has raised its crude
palm oil (CPO) price forecast for
2016, as it expects a lower output
due to a prolonged period of unfavourable weather conditions.
The lower output, it said, will alleviate inventory woes and thereby
supporting prices.
RAM said the CPO price is
expected to average between
RM2,400 and RM2,600 per tonne in
the second quarter of 2016 (2Q16),
against RM2,300 to RM2,500 expected previously, and ease slightly
to RM2,300 to RM2,500 in the second half of 2016.
“Competition from soyoil as
well as a stronger ringgit could also
weigh on the commodity’s price
appreciation potential,” it said in
a statement yesterday.
RAM said the palm oil market
is expected to remain balanced by
anticipated lacklustre production
growth in 2016. It said exports from
Malaysia went up 10.1% year-onyear (y-o-y) in 1Q16, partly boosted
by CPO exports brought forward
prior to the resumption of the nation’s export duty in April.
Indonesia’s total palm oil exports also expanded by about 11%
y-o-y, the agency said.
Indonesia’s biodiesel blending
programme, it added, had taken off
with the country reportedly collecting US$212 million (RM845.88
million) for the purpose and consumed 732,000 kilolitres of biodiesel in 1Q16.
“Although a wider gap between
the prices of palm oil and gas oil
would compromise the republic’s
blending targets, the expected incremental usage of palm oil in biodiesel blending y-o-y is supportive
of the palm oil market,” said RAM.

After two receive ‘possible suspension’ warning from Bursa
BY C H EN SHAUA F UI
KUALA LUMPUR: Investor confidence in China-based companies
listed on Bursa Malaysia appears
to have sunk even lower after two
of the companies received a “possible suspension” warning from
the exchange.
The two companies, Maxwell
International Holdings Bhd and
Multi Sports Holdings Ltd, saw
their share prices drop to an alltime low as investors ditched their
shares.
Maxwell fell 1 sen or 28.57% to
a low of 2 sen, before recovering
to close at 2.5 sen yesterday.
Multi Sports, which fell to an
historic low of 3 sen on Tuesday, managed to recover 0.5 sen
or 16.67% yesterday to close at
3.5 sen.
On Tuesday, Bursa Malaysia
warned sports shoe manufacturer Maxwell and sports shoe
sole maker Multi Sports that if
they fail to submit their annual
reports for the year ended Dec
31, 2015, by May 9, their share
trades will be suspended the
following day.
The latest warning is another
blow to loss-making Maxwell,
which is trying to resolve problems related to its advertising
expenditure audit for the third
quarter ended Sept 30, 2015.
Multi Sports, meanwhile, reported a net loss of RM9.79 million for its third quarter ended

R&A to buy shipping
asset from Sumatec
BY A H MA D N AQ IB ID R IS
KUALA LUMPUR: Sumatec Resources Bhd, controlled by businessman
Tan Sri Halim Saad, has again found
a potential buyer — R&A Telecommunication Group Bhd — for its 49%
stake in Semua Shipping Sdn Bhd.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, loss-making R&A
announced that it entered into a
non-binding term sheet with Semua
International Sdn Bhd to take over
its wholly-owned unit Semua Shipping as part of its regularisation plan.
Under the proposed deal, Semua
International will transfer all its
shares in Semua Shipping to a
special purpose vehicle (SPV) to
be collectively held by its existing
shareholders, namely Sumatec and
Ebony Ritz Sdn Bhd, both holding a 49% stake each, and Singapore-listed Hoe Leong Corp Ltd
(2%). Ebony Ritz is 80%-owned
by Hoe Leong and 20%-owned by
Auspicious Journey Sdn Bhd.
R&A shall then enter into a share
purchase agreement to purchase the
SPV for RM150 million. The sum
will be settled by issue of new R&A
shares at 10 sen each. R&A’s share
price closed at one sen yesterday.
In conjunction with the proposed
acquisition, R&A said it will seek an
extension of four months until Sept
4 for the company to submit a regularisation plan to Bursa.
Semua Shipping currently owns
six product tankers with a capacity of
8,000 tonnes each. All these vessels
currently have long-term charters
with Shell Malaysia, said R&A.
Meanwhile, R&A said the proposed acquisition is subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions,
including a due diligence exercise
on Semua Shipping, as well as the
finalisation of a binding definitive
agreement between the parties.
This is not Sumatec’s first attempt
to dispose of Semua Shipping. Asia
Bioenergy Technologies Bhd last
year entered into a heads of agreement to buy out Semua Shipping
and Semado Maritime Sdn Bhd from
Sumatec and other stakeholders for
RM168 million. However, the deal fell
through after the heads of agreement
entered lapsed in June last year.
R&A said it is in the midst of finalising the appointment of a principal
adviser for the proposed acquisition.
In May last year, R&A triggered
the Guidance Note 3 of the ACE
Market listing requirements of Bursa when its auditors expressed a
disclaimer opinion in the group’s
audited financial statements for
the financial year ended Dec 31,
2014, which was announced on

Economic Census 2016 to look back at a challenging 2015
BY C H UA SU E- A NN
KUALA LUMPUR: The Department of Statistics Malaysia
(DOSM) yesterday launched the
Economic Census 2016 exercise to
gather vital data on the economy
that was in 2015 weighed down
by softer domestic demand and
macroeconomic uncertainties.
The census aims to collect
comprehensive data on the profile
and structure of Malaysia’s economy and business activities. The
Economic Census is a five-yearly
affair, with the previous one conducted in 2011 for reference year
2010. The first Economic Census
was conducted in 2001.
In reading chief statistician
Datuk Abdul Rahman Hasan’s
speech, deputy chief statistician
(economic programme) Ismail
Yusoff said the Economic Census
2016 will collect data on factors
that contribute to the changing
national economic landscape and
complex economic environment.
This includes the enactment of
the goods and services tax from
April 1, 2015, the establishment
of the Asean Economic Community last year, Digital Malaysia
initiatives and e-commerce, as
well as Malaysia’s inclusion in
the Trans-Pacific Partnership
agreement.
Ismail added that based on early estimates, Malaysia needed to
hit 6% growth per year to achieve
its goals of being a developed and
high-income nation by 2020.
“From 2011 to 2015, despite a
challenging economic climate,
we managed to achieve average
growth rates of 5.3% per annum.
Nevertheless, in 2016, the Malaysian economy is expected to grow
at a rate of 4% to 4.5%.
“This is based on global economic growth uncertainties that
can impact our economy due to
the open nature of the Malaysian
economy and increasing integration of international financial
systems,” Ismail said.
Last year, the Malaysian economy was affected by a softer ringgit
against major currencies, weak
consumer sentiment, China’s
slowing demand for exports and
lacklustre growth in many parts
of the global economy.
The current Economic Census is also expected to record
the impact of the government’s
Economic Transformation Programme (ETP), which hopes to
push Malaysia towards a developed and high-income nation
status by 2020.
The previous Economic Census
exercise would not have gathered
data during the ETP period as the
transformation policies were only
launched on Sept 25, 2010.
For this round, the DOSM
had in April begun sending out
questionnaires in stages to over
700,000 registered entrepreneurs,
companies and businesses, of
which 75.2% are in the services
sector. The exercise will also cover those in the following sectors:
construction (10.9%), manufacturing (10.6%), agriculture (2.8%)
and, mining and quarrying (0.5%).
The DOSM had in February
sent out census forms for businesses and entrepreneurs in the
agriculture and agro-food industries.
Respondents include businesses registered with the Companies
Commission of Malaysia and professional bodies, but excludethose
in distributive trade such as retailers, wholesalers and government
sub-sectors.
The set of 200 questions is primarily distributed via mail, with
email questionnaires available
on request. Businesses have a
30-day period to respond to the
questions, failing which DOSM
officers will drop in for a visit.
Establishments operating in
Malaysia are required by law to
provide actual information or best
estimates to the DOSM.
In a briefing, DOSM’s Yazid
Kasim said data derived from
the Economic Census can help
identify new sources of economic
growth, inform economic policies
and programmes, and assess the
implementation of national development policies such as the 11th
Malaysia Plan, SME Master Plan
and Services Sector Blueprint.

Target price on
Hartalega cut again
In view of stiff competition and higher operating costs
BY GHO C H EE Y UA N
KUALA LUMPUR: Analysts have
slashed Hartalega Holdings Bhd’s
target price (TP) for the second time
in three months, despite the world’s
largest synthetic glove manufacturer posting a 23% increase in net
profit for the financial year ended
March 31, 2016 (FY16).
Although analysts remain optimistic about the company, they fear
that its near-term earnings may not
be interesting as most of the good
news have been priced in.
They have slashed Hartalega’s
earnings forecasts for FY17 and FY18
by between 6% and 23%, after taking into account the lower margins
arising from intensified competition
and higher operating costs.
The TP cut by analysts ranges
between 65 sen and RM1.02.
The share price of Hartalega
surged to a one-year high of RM6.07
on Jan 8, from a low of RM3.79 on
May 13 last year.
But the rebound in the ringgit
against the US dollar since the beginning of the year, coupled with a lack
of near-term catalysts, did not bode
well for Hartalega. Year to date, it has
declined by RM1.84 or nearly 31%,
underperforming the FBM KLCI,
which fell 2.06% during the period.
Investors also reacted negatively
to the positive earnings news flow,
resulting in Hartalega shares falling
to RM4.10 yesterday, after touching
an eight-month low of RM4.02 earlier in the day. A total of 4.87 million shares changed hands during
the day. At RM4.10, it has a market
value of RM6.73 billion.

at a discount of 29 sen or 6.6% to
consensus target price of RM4.39,
according to Bloomberg data.
“Hartalega is facing intensifying
competition as other glove makers
are crowding into the nitrile glove
segment. The lucrative margins
currently enjoyed by Hartalega may
not be sustainable going forward,”
AllianceDBS Research said in a note
to clients yesterday.
“In view of Hartalega’s aggressive
expansion plan, the group could
face difficulties in securing buyers
for its additional output. This could
pressure its utilisation rates going
forward,” the firm added.
Meanwhile, MIDF Research has
revised down its FY17 earnings
forecast by 11% to RM281.2 million,
from RM316 million previously, due
to expected higher operating costs,
slower commissioning of Hartalega’s Plants 3 and 4, and lower expected average selling prices (ASPs)
due to intensifying competition.
“Post FY16 earnings announce-
ment, we are maintaining our ‘neutral’ recommendation on Hartalega
with a revised TP of RM4.56, from
RM5.58 per share, after we roll forward our valuation to FY18.
“Our TP is derived from pegging
our FY18 earnings per share of 17.5
sen to a price-earnings ratio (PER)
of 26 times, which is its three-year
average PER,” it added.
PublicInvest Research described
Hartalega’s full-year results as disappointing, noting that it made up
only 92.9% and 94.3% of its and
consensus earnings estimates respectively.
“We maintain our ‘neutral’ call
on Hartalega, but with a lower TP
of RM4.49, from RM5.44 previously,
with [the] assumption of a higher
risk premium in view of competitive
pressures increasingly impacting
its ASP[s], while operational costs
also start to creep up,” it said.
PublicInvest has also lowered its
FY17 to FY19 earnings forecasts by
14.2% to 23% to account for changes
in its line commissioning timeline.
It noted that Hartalega’s Plant 1
and Plant 2 of its Next Generation
Integrated Glove Manufacturing
Complex had already been fully
operational since February 2016.
“Construction of Plant 3 and
Plant 4 with their supporting facilities has begun since 2Q15 (second
quarter of 2015), and was expected
to be completed by May 2016. To
install new automation into its upcoming production lines, however,
[the] construction of Plant 3 and
Plant 4 has been delayed by two
to three months, now estimated
to commence progressively from
September 2016,” it added.
Concern about FGV’s
earnings remains
BY Y IMIE YO N G
KUALA LUMPUR: Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd’s (FGV) move
to withdraw its Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) principles
and criteria certificates at its 58 palm
oil mills nationwide has not sent its
share price into a downward spiral.
However, analysts do not see much
upside potential in FGV shares in
the near term as concern about its
earnings performance remains.
FGV’s share price fell barely two
sen to close at RM1.44 yesterday,
after the company confirmed that it
had decided to withdraw its RSPO
principles and criteria certificates
from Tuesday.
The mild impact on its share
price was mainly due to the fact
that FGV’s exposure to the European market is limited. Nonetheless,
the withdraw may, to some extent,
affect FGV’s reputation in the international arena.
“FGV is not so big in downstream
in Europe. The direct exposure to
Europe is not as significant as IOI
Corp Bhd. It does not have facilities
in Europe,” said CIMB Investment
Bank Research analyst Ivy Ng.
FGV’s annual report shows that
the plantation giant’s revenue exposure to the European market
was about RM347 million, which
was about 2% of its total revenue
of RM15.56 billion.
In her note on Tuesday, she said
the surprise move is negative for
FGV as the group will no longer
be able to sell RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil to its customers,
which could result in lower selling
prices achieved for its crude palm
oil as the group will no longer be
able to command a Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) premium
for its palm products.
“The withdrawal could dent the
group’s reputation and image as
a sustainable palm oil producer.
It could also lead to potential loss
of customers, who are looking for
sustainable palm oil products,”
she explained.
“We estimate the CSPO premium value of its palm oil to be
around RM30 million to RM40 million. Based on this, the dent in our
net profit [forecasts] works out to be
approximately 6% for [the] financial
year ending Dec 31, 2016 (FY16),
and 7% for FY17,” she added.
Ng noted that the concern is about
how would FGV perform financially.
Ng noticed that in the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, the group
posted a 16% decline year-on-year
in fresh fruit bunch output from its
plantations. This was significantly
poorer than the achievement of
the Malaysian palm oil industry,
according to her.
CIMB maintained its “reduce”
call on FGV due to concern over
FGV’s poor earnings, with an unchanged target price (TP) of RM1.49.
Meanwhile, MIDF Research analyst Alan Lim said the negative
news should be neutralised by FGV
returning to profitability this year.
“Despite the lower earnings forecasts due to this news, FGV is still
expected to return to profitability in
FY16,” he wrote in his note yesterday.
He cut FY16 and FY17 earnings
estimates by 10% and 13% respectively to RM161.6 million and RM163.5
million to reflect the loss of CSPO
premium against normal palm oil.
He said key reasons for the turnaround are a better average crude
palm oil price of RM2,450 per tonne,
and that its trading, manufacturing
and logistics division should return
to slight profitability this year.
MIDF Research maintained “neutral” on FGV, with a TP of RM1.33.
AmInvestment Bank, which pegs
the fair value of FGV at RM1.33,
said it estimated the loss of RSPO
premium for FGV until year end to
be at RM23 million.
“FGV said that the withdrawal
would affect less than 1% of group
revenue. In addition, Europe is not
a large market for FGV,” it added.
DiGi’s priority to lure more subscribers
BY C H ESTER TAY
SHAH ALAM: Telecommunication
firms have to be nimble and flexible to grow their subscriber base,
the lifeblood of telcos, in the face
of fierce competition from rivals
and demanding customers.
The priority of DiGi.Com Bhd
(DiGi) — whose blended subscriber
base has ballooned to 12.34 million,
exceeding its rival Maxis Bhd that
served 10.89 million users as at
March 31, 2016 — now is to offer
flexible products for customers to
spend according to their needs.
“Focusing on what customers
need is our priority; we believe
everything else comes after that,”
head of postpaid and digital services Praveen Rajan told the media
at the launch of DiGi’s postpaid
Internet-sharing feature.
However, DiGi’s blended average revenue per user (Arpu) has
fallen to RM42 for the first financial

lower than RM46 in the previous
corresponding quarter.
In comparison, Maxis’ blended Arpu for the same quarter was
RM55, which was a slight increase
of 3.77% from RM53 a year ago.
DiGi chief marketing officer Loh
Keh Jiat said this was because DiGi
had always wanted to provide a
lower entry point for customers.
“At DiGi, we always want to be
easy for customers to start, and
once they are in, [the] Arpu will
all depend on their usage pattern,”
he said.
Loh is of the view that pricing
DiGi’s products on the high side
in the first place would eventually
drive customers away.
“Customers are much smarter today. Month after month, if
they [have] committed [to a certain
amount], but do not use up their
quota, they will leave,” he said.
Therefore, he said, DiGi introduced its Internet-sharing feature
yesterday, which allows customers
to customise the allocation of their
Internet quota among a principle
line and up to six of its supplementary lines.

As at market close yesterday,
DiGi, which is 49% owned by Norwegian Telenor Group, saw its share
price drop one sen to RM4.39, valuing it at RM34.21 billion. Meanwhile, Maxis’ share price gained one
sen to RM5.55, giving it a market
capitalisation of RM41.98 billion.

What’s hot in Kelana Jaya?
• Today, we look at price growth and indicative asking rental yields for non-landed
homes in Kelana Jaya. From analysis of transactions by TheEdgeProperty.com,
the average transacted price for non-landed homes in the secondary market had
remained stable at RM431 psf in 1Q2015.
• Growth in average prices was more significant among the more affordable
properties. The top performer by relative average price growth was Kelana
Impian, with prices up 21.8% to reach RM341 psf in the 12 months to 1Q2015.
This was followed closely by the adjacent Pangsapuri PKNS SS3, with prices up
16.1%. Demand for these properties are likely buoyed by their proximity to the
Sungai Way Free Trade Industrial Zone, located just across the DamansaraPuchong Expressway.
• Average prices have also grown significantly at Dataran Prima Condominium,
appreciating 13.6% to reach RM466 psf. This project will benefit from the new
LRT3 Line (Bandar Utama–Klang Line). The upcoming Dataran Prima LRT
station will be located just opposite the New Klang Valley Expressway.
• The highest rental rates can be found among properties located within the
vicinity of Paradigm Mall. Similarly, these properties also appear to generate the
highest annual indicative yields.
• These properties are set to benefit further from the Kelana Jaya LRT extension
and the new LRT3 Line. Both Suria Damansara condominium and Kelana
Idaman will be located within walking distance from the upcoming Ara
Damansara LRT station. Meanwhile, the Glenmarie station will be located
closest to Shang Villa condominium, while the Persada PLUS station will be
located close to the cluster of condominiums behind Paradigm Mall, though
access is hampered by the NKVE-Subang toll plaza.

Tenants rule
as Singapore
rentals drop
BY POOJA THAKUR
SINGAPORE: Rentals across the
city-state’s home, office and retail
properties dropped in the quarter
ended March as an oversupply and
weak demand dragged down prices sought by landlords. Singapore’s
home rental index dropped 1.3% in
the three months ended March 31
from the previous quarter, data last
Friday from the Urban Redevelopment Authority showed. Office rentals slid at a faster pace, falling 2.1%,
while retail rentals declined 1.9%.
Rents have been declining across
market segments. For homes, they
dropped as Singapore’s property
market cooled after climbing to a
record in 2013. Adding to the price
decline, a large number of apartments are set to be completed in the
next two years, and fewer expatriates are coming to live in Singapore
due to controls on immigration.
Office rents may decline as much
as 25% in a prolonged slump that may
last until the end of 2018 as demand
slows, Daiwa Securities Co said last
month. Daiwa joins other analysts
in forecasting declines for the office
sector as the outlook for global economic growth remains cloudy and
a large supply outstrips demand for
prime space. — Bloomberg
London luxury hotels in worst
year since 2009 on terrorism risk
MOST READ ON
TheEdgeProperty.com
BY DALIA FAHMY
BERLIN: Jitters about everything
from the risk of terrorism to Britain’s membership of the European
Union (EU) are battering London
luxury hotels as the world’s wealthiest travellers stay away.
The city’s priciest hotels were
only 65% occupied in the three
months through March, according to data provider STR. That was
the lowest for a first quarter since
a global recession roiled the market in 2009 and down from 70% a
year earlier. London’s top hotels
include the Savoy and the recently
reopened Lanesborough, where the
Royal Suite with a complementary
chauffeured Rolls-Royce costs about
£25,000 (RM144,840) per night.
While demand for cheaper accommodation is falling too, luxury hotels are hardest hit because
wealthy travellers and corporate
clients are proving more sensitive
to the political turmoil. The terrorist attacks in Brussels and Paris,
the risk that the United Kingdom
may vote to leave the EU and an
economic slump in Russia have all
contributed to the market’s deterioration, along with the uncertain

outcome of the US election.
“A lot of source markets are under pressure due to issues outside
of London hoteliers’ control,” said
Andreas Scriven, a hotel consultant at Christie & Co. More wealthy
Russians are vacationing at home
and Americans travel less during
election years, he said.
Bob van den Oord, managing
director at the Langham hotel in
Regent Street, attributes its weaker-than-expected performance
to security concerns in Europe.
“There’s anxiety out there about
terrorism,” he said. Rooms at the
hotel start at £300 per night.
Uncertainty ahead of the UK
referendum on June 23 is causing
business travellers to postpone investments, according to Russell
Kett, chairman of hotel consultancy
HVS’ London office.
The drop in occupancy is hurting
luxury hotels’ income, pushing revenue per available room down by 6.5%
to the lowest for a first quarter in three
years, according to STR. However,
average daily room rates have held
up because hoteliers would rather
lose business than start a downward
pricing spiral. — Bloomberg

Press Metal’s Samalaju
Phase III smelter to
operate soon
Press Metal Bhd
(May 4, RM3.07)
Maintain buy with a higher target price (TP)
of RM4.50: Press Metal Bhd’s Phase III smelter
in Samalaju is at the tail-end of ramping up
and is expected to be fully commissioned in
the next few weeks. Phase II of its Samalaju
smelter also returned to normal operations
in late November 2015 after six months of
repair due to a fire, while the Mukah smelter
(Phase I) continues its regular production.
We expect its aluminium smelting capacity
to rise to 760,000 tonnes per annum or 1.5%
of global primary aluminium production,
and sales tonnage to surge 65.7% and 11.8%
year-on-year (y-o-y) in financial year 2016
(FY16) and FY17 respectively. Its aluminium
smelters in Sarawak represent a successful
low-cost model currently in the first quartile
of the global production cost curve.
The strengthening of aluminium prices and
the ringgit-US dollar exchange prompted us to
raise our FY16 to FY18 earnings estimates by
3.3% to 15.5% respectively. Key risks include
further downward pressure on aluminium
prices and a sharp weakening of the US dollar
that may hurt its profitability. In addition, an
unexpected power supply interruption at its
smelting plant may damage machinery and
disrupt its operations.
Aluminium cash prices have been hovering above US$1,600 (RM6,384) per tonne
for the past two weeks, which prompted us
to revisit our aluminium price assumption.
We have revised up the London Metal Exchange (LME) aluminium spot price to the
average of US$1,600 and US$1,650 a tonne
in FY16F (forecast) and FY17F respectively
(from US$1,525 and US$1,548 respectively),
with a 1.5% per annum increase expected
from FY18F onwards. Still, we remain prudent and continue to project the physical
premium paid on top of the LME’s cash price
for the standard aluminium ingot (P1020) to
stay flat at US$100 per tonne.
We believe our latest all-in aluminium
price assumption is conservative versus its
long-term price movement. The nominal allin aluminium price fell below this level for
short periods post the global financial crisis
in 2008 and 2009, the 1997 Asian financial
crisis, and the recession in the early 2000s.
Furthermore, this is also the lowest level in real terms on a 3% inflation-adjusted
basis. In addition, we noted that the recent
strengthening of the ringgit-US dollar exchange is mildly negative to Press Metal’s
profitability. Our latest house assumptions
on the ringgit-US dollar exchange are 4.00,
3.80, 3.70 for FY16, FY17, FY18 respectively
(from 4.20, 4.10, and 4).
Despite our prudent assumption revisions, our latest projection shows that Press
Metal is capable of recording RM411 million in core net profit in FY16 (from RM383
million).
With the Samalaju smelter (Phase III) set
to resume full operations by mid-May 2016,
we project a profit of RM100 million in the
second quarter (2Q) with an average all-in aluminium price of US$1,700 a tonne. Earnings
are set to improve further to RM125 million in
3Q and RM130 million in 4Q when all plants
start to run at full capacity and the all-in aluminium price escalates to US$1,745 a tonne
in the second half. We project Press Metal’s
FY17 profit to reach RM534 million (from
RM479 million), with the all-in aluminium
price expected to average US$1,750 a tonne.

Kimlun’s total order book
estimated at RM2b
Kimlun Corp Bhd
(May 4, RM1.79)
Maintain “buy” with an unchanged target price (TP) of RM2.23: Kimlun Corp
Bhd announced that it had been awarded
a RM165.8 million contract from Hillcrest
Gardens to build five blocks of affordable
apartments in Mukim Petaling under the
Rumah Selangorku housing scheme. The
works are expected to be completed by
April 2019. With this recent contract, we
estimate Kimlun’s year-to-date (YTD) job
wins to stand at RM1.1 billion.
Despite being in the early days of May,
its YTD job wins have already surpassed the
full-year sum of RM830 million achieved
last year. At the rate things are going, we
reckon it is likely that job wins will surpass
its previous high of RM1.2 billion achieved
in financial year 2013 (FY13).
We estimate Kimlun’s total order book
(construction and manufacturing) to now
stand at RM2 billion. This translates into a
cover ratio of 1.9 times FY15’s group revenue, which we regard as relatively healthy,
considering the fast turnaround nature
of Kimlun’s jobs. Its management shared
that the slowdown in Iskandar, Johor, has
impacted high-rise buildings the hardest.
To counter this, Kimlun is tapping other
segments such as affordable housing, factories and industrial buildings.
It has also started tendering more aggressively within the infra space as well as
outside of its usual Johor market. This recent contract win, which involves affordable housing in Selangor, verifies Kimlun’s
management’s efforts to tap other avenues
for jobs had paid off.
The risk faced by Kimlun is Iskandar
Malaysia’s slowdown hampering new job
wins for the construction division. As YTD
job wins of RM1.1 billion are still within
our full-year assumption of RM1.45 billion
(construction:RM1.2 billion and manufacturing:RM250 million), we maintain our
earnings forecast.
We maintain our “buy” rating with a
TP of RM2.23. Kimlun has managed to
successfully reduce its dependency on
the Iskandar Malaysia property market as
evidenced by its robust job flows. It is also
a prime beneficiary of the second line of
mass rapid transit roll-out via the supply
of segmental box girders and tunnel lining
segment. Our TP of RM2.23 is based on an
unchanged 11 times price-earnings ratio
(mean: 10.7 times) pegged to FY16 earnings. — Hong Leong Investment Bank Research, May 4

Hartalega to
slow down
expansion rate
Hartalega Holdings Bhd
(May 4, RM4.10)
Downgrade to sell with a lower target price (TP) of RM3.90: Hartalega Holdings Bhd reported financial
year 2016 (FY16) core net profit of
RM256.3 million, up 22.4% year-onyear (y-o-y). This was below our and
consensus estimates of 93.2% and
93.9% respectively. We attribute the
deviation to the group’s inability to
raise average selling prices (ASPs) in
the immediate term to buffer against
the recent turnaround in the US dollar-ringgit exchange, competitive
sales pricing and rising input costs
in the fourth quarter (4QFY16).
Compared with FY15, revenue
and adjusted profit before tax (PBT)
respectively increased 30.7% y-o-y to
RM1,498.3 million and 14.3% y-o-y
to RM316.1 million. Overall growth
was essentially driven by contributions from plants 1 and 2 of the next
generation integrated glove manufacturing complex (NGC) with sales
volume increasing 25.7%. Meanwhile, average plant utilisation remained healthy at 81%, albeit lower
against FY15’s 88%. The lower usage
was due to a shortage of sales personnel, which the group recently
resolved through new recruitment.
Sequentially, performance
was dismal. Despite sales volume
growing +9.1% quarter-on-quarter
(q-o-q), Hartalega’s revenue grew
marginally by 0.6% q-o-q to RM400.4
million and adjusted PBT plunged
41.6% q-o-q to RM52.5 million. This
was primarily due to: (1) the weakening of the US dollar against the
ringgit; (2) more competitive sales
pricing (nitrile glove ASPs in US dollars were reduced 17.3% q-o-q); and
(3) rising operating costs (natural
gas hike, maintenance costs, depreciation and overheads). Accordingly, adjusted PBT margins declined
sharply by 9.5 percentage points
(ppts) to 13.1%.
Separately, the group declared a
third interim dividend of two sen a
share. This brings FY16 dividends to
six sen a share and implies a payout

ratio of 38.5%. We made the following
changes to our estimates: (1) revising
our FY17 and FY18 US dollar-ringgit
assumptions to reflect our latest inhouse estimates of RM4.05 per US
dollar; (2) increasing our ASPs by
2%-3% to account for the effects of
the cost-pass-through mechanism;
and (3) lowering our FY17 and FY18
capacity assumptions by 9.8% and
11.5% respectively to account for
delays in the NGC’s expansion.
All in, these would change our

amplified by the turnaround in

won its second construction job

TP of RM1.20 (from RM1.22), as
we update our numbers to incorporate the audited financial year
2015 (FY15) figures and the recent
construction job wins. We expect
its construction arm to gain further traction in the second half of
the year, underpinned by a strong
pipeline of local jobs.
Ho Hup was awarded a subcontract by Menuju Asas Sdn Bhd
to undertake all temporary and
miscellaneous works, which include piling, substructure and
superstructure works related to
bridges for part of the West Coast
Expressway. The contract, worth
an estimated RM58 million, is expected to last two years and will
commence on May 9. This is within our new order book assumption
of RM200 million. The company
has been quite aggressive in tendering for new construction projects locally since its projects in
Iraq were suspended. As of endMarch, its tender book is estimated at around RM4 billion.
Its multiple proposals for the
rights issue of ordinary and redeemable preference shares plus
free detachable new warrants
are now subject to shareholders’ approval in the upcoming
expectations for sustained growth
of nitrile glove capacity within the
industry, we believe that a recovery
in the group’s near-term margins
would not be substantial.
Drawing on the intensifying competition within the industry, the
group will also be slowing down its
pace of expansion. We understand
that the commissioning of plants 3
and 4 of the NGC will now be pushed
from July 2016 to end-2016 and lines
will be commissioned at a slower Ho Hup Construction Company Bhd
rate of two lines every 1.5 months,
instead of two lines every month.

proceeds from the rights issues
should raise about RM111.5 million to RM136.2 million — largely
to be used for the group’s debt

requirements. We expect this exercise to enhance its capital structure as it actively expands. The

With respect to a petition filed
by Ho Hup against its former project director for loss and damage of US$2.5 million (RM9.97

dismissed the defendant’s leave
application. As such, the defendant is to pay the company US$2.5
million together with a total cost
of RM70,000.

annual report for housekeeping
purposes. We also tweak our
earnings forecasts for FY16-FY18
(by -0.8% to -1.2%) by fine-tuning the timeline and margin assumption for the new construction order book.
Our SOP-derived TP has been
revised to RM1.20 following our
updates. Our TP is diluted to
RM1.04 under the maximum scenario of its proposed rights issue

Semiconductor sales see first m-o-m growth after four months
Semiconductor sector
Maintain overweight: In March
2016, global semiconductor sales
fell at a slower pace of 5.8% yearon-year (y-o-y), up 0.3% month-onmonth (m-o-m) to US$26.1 billion
(RM104.14 billion). On a m-o-m basis, semiconductor sales registered
the first growth after four consecutive monthly declines. In the first
quarter (1Q16), sales were down
5.5% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q)
and 5.8% y-o-y to US$78.3 billion.
Key issues that continue to im-
pede growth include soft demand,
market cycles and macroeconomic
conditions. World Semiconductor
Trade Statistics (WSTS) is forecasting a flat year for 2016, with a minimal growth of 0.3% y-o-y to US$336
billion. The next WSTS committee meeting will be held later this
month.
While still experiencing the largest fall, sales in the Americas decreased at a softer pace of 15.8%
y-o-y. This was followed by Europe

others (6.4% y-o-y). Only Japan and
China posted y-o-y growths during
the month. Japan reported its first
yearly increase of 1.8% y-o-y after 18
months. Meanwhile, China recorded a slower growth of 1.8% y-o-y.
The book-to-bill ratio strengthened to 1.15 times, above parity for
the fourth consecutive month. Net
bookings stood at US$182 million
during the month. Bookings and
billings were down 0.9% y-o-y and
5.3% y-o-y respectively. Viewed on
a quarterly basis, orders were relatively steady from the previous year
(down 1.9% y-o-y) and quarter (up
1.2% q-o-q).
Last week, both Malaysian Pa-
cific Industries Bhd (MPI) and Unisem (M) Bhd reported seasonally
softer 1Q16 results which were in
line with expectations. US dollar

Team Adenan set for big win
He expects BN to capture at least 70 of the 82 seats at stake
KUCHING: With Barisan Nasional
(BN) poised to return for an 11th
term in Sarawak with over two-thirds
majority in the state legislative assembly, the focus shifts to how big
a win Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan
Satem can pull off on Saturday and to
what extent he has shaken the Chinese ground under the opposition.
Adenan expects his team to capture at least 70 of the 82 seats at stake.
BN already has two, Bukit Sari and
Bukit Kota, which it won unopposed
on nomination day.
The ruling coalition won all previous state elections with a two-thirds
majority except in 1987. In 2011, BN
won 55 of 71 seats, DAP 12, PKR
three and an independent one.
“The BN forecast of 70 is realistic.
The real benchmark, though, is how
many Chinese seats it can take back.
There is no question that BN will
have two-thirds of the seats,” said
political analyst Dr Jeniri Amir of
Universiti Malaysia Sarawak.
The ambition of the opposition
to stop BN from getting 55 constituencies for a two-thirds majority
has all but faded, with DAP and
PKR keeping a distance from each
other after their seat squabble. Their
partner Amanah has been dismissed
as of little significance.
PBB is contesting in 40 constituencies, five more than in 2011, and is
not expected to have much trouble
making a clean sweep.
PRS is confident that it will deliver on all 11 seats allocated, leaving
SUPP, SPDP and the 13 direct candidates to rein in the rest.
SUPP is running in 13 constituencies and, as campaigning progresses, some political observers believe
that it may win back a few of the 12
Chinese seats it lost to DAP in 2011.
SPDP is contesting five seats including Ba’Kelalan, a riveting contest with BN’s Willie Liau taking on
his uncle and PKR state chief Baru
Bian, who beat him by 473 votes
the last time.
DAP wants to take at least 18 of
the 31 areas they are vying for, and
according to state party chief Chong
Chieng Jen, it has “a good chance” of
capturing 12 other mostly bumiputera constituencies and the BN-held
Chinese-majority Bawang Assan.
National party adviser Lim Kit
Siang is worried about the risk of
DAP losing seven of the 12 Chinese
seats it won in 2011.
In the past week, Adenan has
travelled all over the state to consolidate the votes in the over 60 bumiputera areas. He has also asked
Chinese voters to support SUPP for
the community to be represented
in his cabinet.
The strong possibility of BN taking
back three to five Chinese seats are
being openly discussed. “Nobody
talked about this before,” said political observer Dr Lee Kuok Tiong.
Among the Chinese seats closely
watched are Batu Kawah and Batu
Kitang in Kuching, Pujud in Miri,
Repok and Meradong in Sarikei,
and Bawang Assek and Dudong in
Sibu. Fighting in Batu Kawah is SUPP
president Senator Datuk Dr Sim Kui
Hian, who is in a three-way tussle with DAP incumbent Christina
Chiew and independent Liu Thian
Leong, a former UPP member. With
two days left to polling, candidates
will be going all out to woo fence
sitters in the state’s biggest election, and remind their supporters
to come out and vote.
The Election Commission expects the turnout to be at 75%, compared with 70% in 2011. — Bernama

Najib: Cabinet meeting in
Kuching nothing extraordinary
KUCHING: The federal cabinet
meeting in Petrajaya here yesterday is nothing extraordinary because each minister has responsibilities at the state level, said Prime
Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Najib said this was different
from the presence of state leaders
like Penang Chief Minister Lim
Guan Eng, who was in Sarawak for
the sole purpose of campaigning.
“If the opposition wants to make
this an issue, I wish to remind their
leaders like Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng that he has no
powers outside Penang. He is here
only for campaigning purposes.
“Each minister has ministerial
responsibilities in each state. Ministers will look into [matters such
as] work done by their respective
ministries, [and the] problems of
the people,” he told a press conference after chairing the weekly
federal cabinet meeting at Wisma
Bapa Malaysia, the Sarawak state
secretariat building.
Najib said the purpose of holding the meeting here was to show
support for, and symbolise the
close ties with, Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem and
the state government led by the
Sarawak Barisan Nasional.
He also said holding federal
cabinet meetings outside Putrajaya was done from time to time.
Also present at the press conference were Adenan and Deputy
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The last cabinet meeting held
outside Putrajaya was in 2011 in
Kuantan, Pahang.
On Sarawak’s entry ban on certain leaders, Najib said the Sarawak
government had the powers to
do so and that all quarters must
respect this.
“This [entry into Sarawak issue]
is at their discretion. I believe the
Sarawak government has good reasons to deny entry because it does
not want the political atmosphere to
be smeared by speeches that touch
on people’s sensitivities,” he said.
Sarawak’s 11th state election
will be held on Saturday.
Among the individuals barred
from entering Sarawak are PKR
vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar,
DAP organising secretary Anthony Loke, DAP assistant publicity
secretary Teo Nie Ching, Amanah
president Mohamad Sabu, Perak
DAP chairman and Taiping member of parliament Nga Kor Ming,
and Sungai Besar Umno head and
Gerakan Merah (Red Movement)
chief Jamal Md Yunos.

deputy president Datuk Seri Azmin

KUCHING: It’s really psy-war, communication experts said of the fight
for influence in cyberspace between
Barisan Nasional (BN) and the opposition in the Sarawak election.
At their most effective, messages from both sides are suggestive
rather than direct or open, with
much thought given to the entertainment value of messages to lure
Internet users.
Innuendos are used to make
claims that would otherwise immediately sound ridiculous or even
outrageous.
DAP, attempting to penetrate
Bumiputera constituencies, has
videos that suggest it is the champion of rural folk.
One video shows people prancing joyously around DAP members helping to build a house and a
rope bridge. Another video depicts
an obviously staged scene of rural
schoolchildren studying with the
aid of kerosene lamps to suggest
the “failure” of the government to
provide basic amenities.
There is, of course, no mention
that the BN government is spending
almost RM1.3 billion to ensure at
least 96% of Sarawak enjoy electricity supply by the end of this year.
The videos are uploaded on multiple social media platforms such
as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
and YouTube.
BN is countering the opposition propaganda with facts and
figures.
But, as the communication experts noted, all the facts on the
multibillion ringgit effort of the
federal and state governments to
develop Sarawak won’t make an
impact unless they are presented
in such a way as to attract and hold
the attention of Internet surfers.
“So much depends on presentation, and the opposition cyber
troopers have shown themselves
adroit at it,” said a lecturer from
Universiti Teknologi Mara Centre
for Media and Information Warfare Studies.
Research has shown that the
main users of the Internet are aged
between 21 and 49.
According to the Election Commission, out of the 1.1 million registered voters for this election, 11.5%
are aged between 21 and 29, 20.8%
between 30 and 39, and 23.6% between 40 and 49.
In Sarawak, the Internet users
are mostly in Kuching, Sibu and
Miri, and they very much prefer
local content, said Universiti Teknologi Mara lecturer in communication and media studies Shahnon
Mohamed Salleh.
Social media is one of the most
powerful platforms for information and propaganda. — Bernama
‘Only minor offences in campaigns’
KUCHING: Sarawak police commissioner Datuk Seri Muhammad
Sabtu Osman said police have only
received reports on minor offences
since campaigning for the Sarawak
election started on May 25.
He said police so far had received 107 reports, mostly on vandalism of election posters. “The minor offences include supporters of
opposing parties shouting at each
other as well,” he told reporters at
the state police headquarters here.
Earlier, he had flagged off a convoy which will be bringing in police reinforcements to police con-
tingents in Sarawak ahead of the
election on Saturday.
Muhammad Sabtu said as of
Tuesday, police had launched investigations into 66 cases under Sections 323 and 500 of the Penal Code
and Election Offences Act 1954.
He said police had mobilised
1,817 personnel from the Kuching Police Training Centre, Marine
Operations Force, General Operations Force and contingent police
headquarters throughout the state
to beef up police presence in all
districts until polling was over. —

‘Case on SD by
previous owner of
bungalow not closed’
Purchase by Guan Eng for RM2.8m a controversy
KUALA LUMPUR: Attorney-General (AG) Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi
Ali has denied reports that the AG’s
Chambers had closed the case of
an allegedly false declaration on the
purchase of a bungalow by Penang
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.
Referring to reports in two English
dailies, Mohamed Apandi refuted the
news that he had closed his office’s
investigation into a statutory declaration (SD) by the previous owner of
the bungalow, Phang Li Koon, in a
two-paragraph statement yesterday.
In George Town, Bernama reported yesterday the AG’s Chambers had
closed the case, quoting Penang Police Chief Datuk Abdul Ghafar Rajab.
The police chief told reporters
yesterday the AG had decided a few
days ago that there was “no further
action” in the case into the SD made
by Phang, who sold what is claimed
to be an undervalued bungalow to
Guan Eng.
He said the decision was made
after the AG scrutinised the outcome of the investigation conducted by the Penang and Bukit Aman
police.
“The prosecutor has decided that
there is NFA (no further action) in
the case ... so the case is closed. The
decision was made two or three days
ago,” he told reporters after attending
the monthly assembly at the Penang
police headquarters yesterday.
The police opened an investigation into Phang after several quarters lodged police reports claiming
inaccurate information in Phang’s
SD. Phang was called to give a statement at the north-east district police
headquarters.
The purchase of the bungalow in
Jalan Pinhorn in Penang by Guan Eng
for RM2.8 million became a controversy after Tasek Gelugor member of
parliament Datuk Shabudin Yahaya
disclosed in the Dewan Rakyat that
the price was below market value.
Shabudin had reportedly claimed
that the value of the bungalow was in
the range of RM6 million to RM6.5
million.
It was also claimed that the purchase of the bungalow was connected to the sale of a piece of land in
Taman Manggis, Penang, that had
been reserved for a housing project
for the poor.
Phang made the SD on March 22,
stating that she had not surveyed the
market when she decided to sell the
house to Guan Eng as she did not
think it was necessary.
She also said she had no business relationship with the state government.

IGP confirms
withdrawing Dr M’s

KOTA KINABALU: Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid
Abu Bakar confirmed yesterday that
the traffic police escort for Tun Dr

minister had violated laws while

He said Dr Mahathir had used
the escort when he attended an illegal Bersih rally, a gathering protesting the goods and services tax,
and going around collecting signatures for a declaration.
“I withdrew the traffic police

traffic police escort to an individual who violates the laws and the
constitution?
“We cannot support any action

Rahman Dahlan’s suit against

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court
here has set two days from Aug 15
to hear the defamation suit brought
by Urban Wellbeing, Housing and
Local Government Minister Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan against
news portal Malaysiakini and its
reporter Geraldine Tong.
Judge Abu Bakar Jais set the
dates in chambers yesterday in
the presence of lawyer Shahriman
Ruslan, who represented Abdul
Rahman, and K Shanmuga, who appeared for Malaysiakini and Tong.
Shanmuga told reporters the
court also set May 23 for case management.
Abdul Rahman, who is an Umno
Supreme Council member and
member of parliament for Kota Belud, filed the suit on Jan 13, claiming that an article and a video clip
published by Malaysiakini and
Tong without his permission did
not reflect the original content of
his message, and that it was edited
to portray him as having instructed the urban population to return
to villages.
In his statement of claim, Abdul
Rahman claimed that on Nov 6,
2015, the defendants, with levity
and malice, published or caused
to be published on the www.malaysiakini.com website slanderous
and false statements referring to
him under the title “Minister’s ‘go

contempt”.
He claimed that the defamatory
statements, among others, implied
that he had no care for the plight
of the people due to the rising cost
of living, did not encourage the
people to seek income in urban
centres and was insensitive to the
current issues that had an impact
on society. — Bernama

Spotlight on shadowy money
The Panama Papers leak has led to heightened scrutiny of capital flowing
through offshore companies. Why do individuals and companies use
these entities? What risks do they pose?
BY C H A N C H AO PEH
D
avid Chong, president of Portcullis Group, knew all too well
the firestorm that would ensue
when he read the newspapers on April 4. That was the
day the so-called “Panama
Papers”, obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, began to
make headlines around the world. Almost
exactly three years before, on April 3, 2013,
a similar leak of documents from Portcullis
and another firm, also orchestrated by ICIJ,
had Chong scrambling to answer questions
and defend the activities of his firm.
“These dates are etched in my memory,”
says Chong, in an interview with The Edge
Singapore. The Portcullis Group provides
trust, fund and family office services, which
include helping companies and individuals
set up corporate entities in jurisdictions like
the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands. The publication of documents leaked
from the firm in 2013 — dubbed “Offshore
Leaks” — revealed that a number of wealthy
businessmen and politicians in the region
had used these corporate vehicles to manage their wealth.
The Panama Papers leak was of a much
larger scale, and the fallout more far-reaching.
Notably, within days, Iceland Prime Minister
Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson was forced out of
office over revelations that his family held
their wealth in offshore entities and that they
may have benefited from his decisions while
in office. British Prime Minister David Cameron has also struggled to answer questions
about his inheritance after it emerged that
his father was a director of an offshore trust
that had paid no British taxes.
Meanwhile, an old friend of Russia’s president Vladimir Putin was shown to be at the
centre of a web of offshore entities worth
some US$2 billion (RM7.98 billion). Putin
confirmed the accuracy of the information
but insisted that his friend, a Russian cellist
named Sergei Roldugin, has done nothing
wrong. In China, revelations that relatives
of top leaders from former premier Li Peng
to current President Xi Jinping have been
linked to offshore entities have drawn indignant rebuttals from news outlets linked
to the Communist Party.
Chong of Portcullis says the strong public
interest in the Panama Papers leak is a reflection of years of growing wealth inequality, and
the eagerness of the media to find reasons
for this trend in everything from corruption
in public office and money laundering to tax
evasion and existence of offshore tax havens.
“The press is fanning the illogical syllogism
that tax havens are used to hide wrongdoing, that somehow the inequality of wealth
is linked to tax havens,” he grumbles.
In fact, while offshore entities shield their
owners from taxes and the glare of public
scrutiny, they usually maintain onshore bank

tend that offshore entities have greased the
wheels of global investment. As an example,
Chong points out that a property in London
held in the name of an individual would be
subject to inheritance tax when the individual
passes away. But if the property were held by
a company where there is no inheritance tax,
like the British Virgin Islands, effective ownership could be transferred after the owner
passes without incurring the tax.
Among the Panama Papers were documents showing that Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed
Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, has used offshore corporate entities to
hold dozens of choice London properties
from Oxford Street to Mayfair, worth more
than £1.2 billion (RM6.98 billion). By some
estimates, foreign entities collectively own
more than £170 billion worth of UK properties.
The “tax neutrality” of locations such as
the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands
also makes them a natural choice for funds
garnering capital from around the world and
investing internationally. According to the
Cayman Island’s Monetary Authority (CIMA),
as at June 2015, the 179 banks under its supervision, including 116 that are branches of
international banks, reported total international assets and liabilities of US$1.39 trillion
and US$1.4 trillion, respectively.
The Cayman Islands is also a popular domicile for hedge funds, according to some studies.
As at end-2015, there were some 10,940 funds
registered there, with names ranging from
A&Q Diversified Neutral Alpha to ZZ Strategy, according to CIMA’s last quarterly report.
Interestingly, offshore tax havens also
appear among the largest sources of foreign
direct investment for some countries. The

Chong: The press is fanning the illogical syllogism

have been big movers of FDI into Singapore
in recent years, according to data from the
Department of Statistics. In 2014, the most
recent year for which there are statistics,
they accounted for S$87 billion and S$77.7
billion, respectively, of the stock of FDI in the
city state, making them our third and fourth
largest FDI sources.
Tan of RHT says it is incumbent on accountants, bankers and lawyers responsible
for structuring investment deals to consider
the use of offshore entities. “For some transactions, good planning can make the difference between a profitable and non-profitable
investment,” he says. “Depending on the work
scope, there is potential negligence on the
team’s part if they don’t consider it.”
And, despite their dark side, the advantage
accorded by offshore investment vehicles is
becoming more pronounced as the structure of the global economy and the nature
of businesses evolve, Tan adds. “We have
globalisation, where business is everywhere.
And now, we have digitisation, where business is nowhere, but everywhere.”
Tightening tax net
Still, long before the Panama Papers leak,
or even the Offshore Leaks episode in 2013,
political momentum has been growing in
large developed nations against the use of
offshore structures by heavyweight corporates to reduce their tax bill. “The idea is that
if you make profits somewhere, surely you
should be paying your fair share of taxes in
that place,” says RHT’s Tan.
Among the prime targets have been large
technology companies such as Apple and
Alphabet (formerly Google). The US Senate
Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations
showed that in 2012 alone, by using three
offshore units with no discernible tax home,
Apple avoided paying US$9 billion to the US
government. Now, Apple is said to have generated a cumulative US$181.1 billion in off-

Indonesian parliament mulling a tax amnesty bill
shore earnings which, if it returned to the US,
could incur a tax bill of some US$52.9 billion.
On Feb 23, the OECD announced a plan
aimed at countering the arcane-sounding
trend of “base erosion and profit shifting”,
which essentially refers to the strategy of
using offshore entities to erode the tax of
a country where business has been done
and profits earned. This plan is designed to
cut the annual worldwide loss of corporate
tax revenue, estimated at between US$100
billion and US$240 billion — a figure that
accountants and lawyers say is probably far
larger than what individual tax dodgers are
getting away with.
Tan notes that there are also related plans
within the international community for automatic sharing of information based on
common reporting standards as part of the
broader push towards tighter cooperation
among tax authorities. More than 20 European countries, including key EU members
such as Britain, Germany, France, Italy and
Spain, have formed one such grouping, where
information on the ownership of companies
will be privately shared among their respective law enforcement agencies.
On April 22, Britain said its crown dependencies and overseas territories that have a
reputation for being tax havens — Gibraltar,
Isle of Man and Montserrat — will join the
grouping. “It should be clear to all countries
and tax jurisdictions that the world is moving
firmly in the direction of greater tax transparency and the UK will continue to push for an
internationally agreed blacklist for those that
refuse to do the right thing,” said Chancellor
of the Exchequer George Osborne.
Yet, observers like Tan of RHT believe that
as long as there are differences in tax rates in
major jurisdictions, offshore corporate entities
will continue to be used. “I can understand
that there is a push by governments to bring
companies that operate in their jurisdictions
within their tax net. That is a huge tussle we
are seeing. But, it doesn’t take away the fact
that a lot of these structures are legal,” he
points out. “If the regimes are more company- and tax-friendly than they are now, the
likes of Apple will be more willing to repatriate a larger amount of the profits they’ve
earned and kept offshore back onshore and
reinvest,” he adds.
If anything, he figures that it is lower taxes
onshore that stand the best chance of negating the attractiveness of offshore corporate
entities. “At the end of the day, it is an arbitrage. If the difference between me and you is
a lot smaller, there’ll be much fewer reasons
to keep it offshore,” Tan says.
Certainly, countries in Asia have been
moving in that direction. On April 11, Indonesian Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro floated a proposal to cut corporate tax
from 25% to a “competitive” 20%. The country’s parliament is also mulling a tax amnes-

IF there is any doubt that the flow of capital through offshore corporate vehicles
matters to Singapore, consider this: In
2010, the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands accounted for S$50.1 billion
and S$44.5 billion, respectively, of the
stock of foreign direct investment (FDI) in
Singapore, according to the Department
of Statistics. That made them our fourth
and sixth largest sources of FDI.
By 2014, the most recent year for which
statistics are available, the stock of FDI
from the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands had increased to S$87 billion
and S$77.7 billion, respectively, making
them our third and fourth largest sources
of FDI. Moreover, two other offshore jurisdictions, Luxembourg and Bahamas,
were the ninth and tenth largest sources
of FDI that year, respectively. The largest
source of FDI in 2014 was the US, at S$153
billion, up from S$118 billion in 2013; the
second largest was Japan, at $109.3 billion,
up from S$72.2 billion.
So, where did the FDI from the British
Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands come
from? And, where was it invested? The
Department of Statistics says it does not
compile those figures.
However, much of the total inflow of FDI
in recent years has been channelled into the
finance and insurance services sector. This
category, according to the Department of
Statistics, had a total of S$270.2 billion in FDI
at end-2010, and the sum surged to S$515.6
billion in 2014. The sub-category “investment holding”, which is under “finance and
insurance services”, accounted for the bulk
of this growth, rising from S$224.9 billion
in 2010 to S$445.7 billion in 2014.
When approached for comment, the
Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)
said it has a strict legal and regulatory
framework to guard against money laundering and terrorism financing through
the Singapore financial system. “All financial institutions in Singapore — including
banks, fund managers and trust companies
— are required to know their customers
well, including any persons that their customers may be acting on behalf of. Financial
institutions are required to scrutinise their
customers’ source of funds and wealth, and
check for any adverse information about
them,” an MAS spokesman says.
“If offshore vehicles are being set up, financial institutions must ascertain their
purpose and satisfy themselves that such vehicles are not meant to be used for unlawful
ends. Financial institutions must also monitor their customers’ accounts for suspicious
transactions on an ongoing basis and report
any they come across,” the spokesman adds.
Tan Choon Leng, head of RHTLaw Taylor
Wessing’s Private Wealth practice, says there
is little doubt that MAS and other regulatory
bodies in Singapore are closely watching the
financial services sector. “Banks will tell you
everything is shrinking except compliance
teams.” He adds that financial institutions are
required to understand any complex, multi-layered structures of offshore entities with
which their clients are involved. And, citing
the Guidance on Private Banking Controls,
published by MAS in 2014, Tan goes on to
say that when trust structures are used, the
financial institutions are required to identify
and document the ultimate settlor, beneficiary, protector and beneficial owners of the
assets held by the trusts.
A partner at a local accounting firm
tells The Edge Singapore that the Suspicious Transaction Reporting (STR) obligation also serves as a defence against shady
money dealings. The Institute of Singapore
Chartered Accountants (ISCA), in its socalled “Ethics Pronouncement 200” that
took effect on Nov 1, 2014, requires all professional accountants and professional firms
to report suspected transactions related to
money laundering or terrorist financing to
the Commercial Affairs Department.
In addition, they are also “prohibited from
disclosing any information to any person if
doing so is likely to prejudice an investigation or proposed investigation”. The STR does
not just fall on accountants but also trustees,
banks, money lenders, and even gem dealers.
ty bill. On April 25, Indonesia’s central bank
governor Argus Martowardojo said that the
proposed bill could encourage the repatriation of some US$42 billion worth of capital.
Indonesia’s officials estimate that as much
as US$200 billion of personal and corporate
assets are held in Singapore alone.
Competition among havens
Nevertheless, increased regulatory scrutiny
as well as the growing competitiveness of
onshore financial centres have taken their
toll on some offshore financial centres in recent years. According to the Deloitte Wealth
Management Centre Ranking 2015, between
2008 and 2014, Panama and the Caribbean,
lumped together, saw a 47% plunge in assets
under management or assets under administration to US$0.9 trillion.
On the other hand, Hong Kong, with its
natural proximity to growing Chinese wealth,
saw a surge of 146% to US$0.64 trillion in the
same period. Singapore grew as well, but at a
much slower pace: up 24% to US$0.5 trillion.
Switzerland retained the leading position with
US$2 trillion, up 14% over the seven-year period. The UK grew at the same clip during the
period to reach US$1.7 trillion, while the US
saw growth of 28% to US$1.4 trillion.
Where does that leave the likes of Mossack
Fonseca and Portcullis? Is the business of
setting up companies in offshore tax havens
on its last legs?
Ramon Fonseca, one of the two founders of Mossack Fonseca, has been quoted in
press interviews saying that the law firm has
only about 5% market share in the business
of setting up offshore entities. And, his firm
typically does not know who the ultimate beneficiaries are. Hence, the activities involving
offshore companies revealed in the Panama
Papers leak could just be a very small part of
what is actually happening.
Tan of RHT says the amount of wealth
stashed under these offshore entities also
is not clear, despite the figures contained in
numerous research reports on offshore tax
havens. “I assure you: Anyone who gives you
a number is wrong, or doesn’t know for sure
that they are right,” he says.
Whatever the case, firms like Mossack
Fonseca and Portcullis are confident that they
have not broken any laws. While the media
organisations are still parsing the leaked Panama Papers, comprising some 11.5 million
documents dating back some 40 years, Chong
of Portcullis emphasises that three years after
the Offshore Leaks, involving documents that
go back some three decades, neither he nor
his firm has been accused of any wrongdoing.
In fact, he quips that the ICIJ helped him
perform an internal audit that he could never
have afforded. “If they cannot find anything
that I have done criminally wrong, then
I say it is not a bad internal audit.” — The

Yet, Singapore is not in any way deterring
the flow of funds into the local market. On the
contrary, it wants to be a leading international
financial centre and has introduced various
schemes and incentives to make it attractive
for non-residents to park their money here.
Notably, in 2008, it abolished estate
duties. Now, using a Singapore company
to hold a UK property shields the owner
from UK inheritance tax, according to David Chong, president of Portcullis Group.
Singapore also introduced the Enhanced
Tiered-Fund scheme in 2009, which gives
tax exemptions on funds if certain conditions are met, like committing to a minimum fund size of S$50 (RM147.84 million)
million. The scheme was enhanced over
time. At the 2015 Budget, the rules were
tweaked to allow special purpose vehicles
under a master fund to be consolidated to
meet the tax-exemption requirements.
Nevertheless, given the huge sums of
money moving through offshore entities,
it is very likely that at least some of it is
not entirely clean. “I think it is naive to
say that there aren’t murky transactions
going on in any of the financial centres of
the world. However, all the governments
are taking the effort to clean that up, and
that’s extremely encouraging,” says Tan.
On that score, Singapore might well have
the edge. Chong cites the country’s high
ranking in the World Justice Project Rule
of Law Index — compiled annually by the
Washington-based organisation headed
by William Neukom, a former president
of the American Bar Association. In 2015,
Singapore was ranked ninth, above the UK
(12th), Hong Kong (17th) and the US (19th).
“The world trusts Singapore,” says Chong.

Asian banks’ US$60b hole
China’s lenders are not the only ones in denial

lier, but are still a fraction of what
they were in 2011 and 2012. Should
China experience a full-blown credit crisis, or a sharper slowdown in
economic growth, the cover against
bad loans may suddenly start feeling
too thin for comfort (see Chart 2).
Those risks are not even beginning to get counted. Take Bank of
China (Hong Kong) Ltd (BoC Hong
Kong). In December, the Hong Kong
arm of China’s fourth-largest lender by assets reported a bad-loan
ratio of just 0.2%. Granted, BoC
Hong Kong is selling a big chunk
of its mainland exposure to China
Cinda Asset Management Co Ltd.
But with HK$523 billion (RM268.7
billion) of advances to borrowers
across the border, credit risk will
still be far from negligible.
As former CLSA bank analyst Chart 2
Daniel Tabbush noted recently
on research website Smartkarma,
BoC Hong Kong ended up booking
HK$12.6 billion of provisions for
loan losses in 2008, almost 13 times
what the lender set aside last year.
“The year 2008 is a good reminder
of how high and suddenly impairment costs can rise,” Tabbush says.
If banks believe investors are
oblivious to that risk, they are digging themselves into an even bigger
hole. — Bloomberg
sia’s lenders have
dug themselves
into a US$60 billion (RM239.4 billion) hole, which
they will have trouble climbing out of without pulling
shareholders down with them.
That sum is the “missing” bad
loan provisions, or the difference
between the amount earmarked
to deal with souring debt and what
banks would need if 2016 turned
into a repeat of 2008.
Do the math. Asia’s top 200 publicly traded banks had US$16.7 trillion in assets last year, on which
they had set aside about US$296
billion, or 1.78%, for loan losses.
Ratchet that up to the 2008 rate of
2.14%, and they would require an
extra US$60 billion or so.
Unsurprisingly, as much as onethird of the shortfall is in just one
economy: China. But the mainland’s
lenders are not the only ones in denial. Most banks in Asia are busy pretending it is business as usual and
future profits are safe (see Chart 1).

fooling many. Despite HSBC bravely holding on to its dividend, the

We need to act quickly on measuring the value of free
BY C H A RL ES B EAN
RELIABLE economic statistics are a
vital public good. They are essential
to effective policymaking, business
planning, and the electorate’s ability
to hold decision-makers to account.
And yet the methods we use to
measure our economies are becoming increasingly out of date. The statistical conventions on which we
base our estimates were adopted
a half-century ago, at a time when
the economy was producing relatively similar physical goods. Today’s economy is radically different
and changing rapidly — the result of
technological innovation, the rising
value of intangible, knowledge-based
assets, and the internationalisation
of economic activity.
In light of these challenges, the
United Kingdom’s (UK) Chancellor
of the Exchequer George Osborne
asked me 10 months ago to assess
the UK’s current and future statistical needs. While my research focused on the UK, the challenges of
producing relevant, high-quality
economic statistics are the same in
many countries.
Recent technological advances have radically altered the way
people conduct their lives, both at
work and at play. The advances in
computing power underpinning
the digital revolution have led not
only to rapid quality improvements
and product innovation, but also to
new, connectivity-driven ways of
exchanging and providing services.
One particular challenge for economic measurement stems from
the fact that an increasing share
of consumption comprises digital
products delivered at a zero price or
funded through alternative means,
such as advertising. While free virtual goods clearly have value to consumers, they are entirely excluded
from gross domestic product (GDP),
in accordance with internationally
accepted statistical standards. As
a result, our measurements may
not be capturing a growing share
of economic activity.
Consider the music industry.
Downloads and streaming services
have now largely replaced CDs, the
dominant medium in the 1990s. And
yet the money has not followed; the
industry’s revenues and margins
have both plummeted. As a result,
its contribution to GDP (as we currently measure it) may be falling,
even as the quantity and quality of
services are increasing.
Two methods can give us a rough
estimate how much digital economic
activity we are failing to capture in
our measurements. We can use average wages to estimate the value of
the time people spend online using
free digital products, or we can adjust
telecommunication services output
to account for the rapid growth in
Internet traffic.
Both approaches suggest that accounting for these types of activities
could add between one-third and
two-thirds of a percentage point to
the average annual growth rate of the
UK economy over the past decade.
The digital revolution is also disrupting traditional business models.
The reduced search and matching
costs offered by a range of online
platforms are unlocking the market
for skills (known as the “gig economy”) and the market for underutilised assets (known as the “sharing
economy”). This, too, causes conceptual and practical measurement
challenges for established GDP calculus. The traditional statistical distinction between productive firms
and consuming households leaves
little room to account for households
as value creators.
Measuring GDP, it turns out, is like
trying to hit a moving target. The digital revolution is likely to be followed
by yet another wave of disruptive
technology, including advances in
materials science, artificial intelligence, and genetic engineering. As
the economy evolves, so must the
frame of reference for the statistics
we use to measure it.
Consequently, internationally
agreed statistical standards will almost always be somewhat out of date
or incomplete, as they are bound to
lag behind changes in the economy.
National statistical offices should
explore measurement issues that
go beyond the prevailing standards,
rather than use compliance as an
excuse for their failure to innovate.
One solution would be to establish
a continuing programme of research
into the measurement implications
of emerging economic trends, conducting one-off studies at first to
gauge their potential quantitative
importance. This could then guide
the development of experimental statistics capturing the new phenomena.
New techniques of collecting and
analysing big data, such as web scraping, text-mining, and machine learning, provide an opportunity for statisticians. Governments already hold
some administrative data, but their
use for statistical purposes often requires legislative changes. Unlocking
this trove of information would extend statistical samples to near-census size, increase their timeliness and
accuracy, and reduce the respondent
costs to businesses and households.
Ensuring that data accurately reflect a changing economy is one of
the hardest tasks faced by national statistical institutes worldwide.
Success requires not only understanding the limitations of traditional
measurements, but also developing
a curious and self-critical workforce
that can collaborate with partners
in academia, industry, the public
sector, and other national statistical
institutes to develop more appropriate methods.
The UK is by no means alone in
facing these challenges. But we need
to act quickly. Otherwise, the speed
of economic change will render our
statistics irrelevant to modern life. —

NEW DELHI: India’s highest
court yesterday ordered cigarette manufacturers to comply

The tobacco industry has
taken the government to court,
arguing that the directives —
aimed at deterring smokers

April 1, the stringent rules mandate an increase in the size of

The Supreme Court yesterday transferred all of the petitions, some brought by makers
of cheap, hand-rolled cigarettes

China only allows the yuan to

Analysts said the weaker fix was
in line with strength in the US dollar overnight, as financial authorities seek to make trading more
market-oriented. The dollar rose
against most of its peers on Tuesday as global growth worries swept
equity markets and pushed oil prices lower, boosting demand for the
safe-haven US currency.
“To maintain a stable currency
market, the RMB weakened accordingly,” Liu Xuezhi, an analyst at the

Yesterday’s cut came after China

Indonesia’s 1Q GDP
growth disappoints
But economy still expected to expand more than 5% in 2016
BY NILUFAR RIZ K I
& HIDAYAT SET I A J I
JAKARTA: Indonesia reported lower-than-expected growth in the first
quarter, but many economists still
expect enough of a rebound this
year that the country can avoid
further slowing and grow more
than 5% in 2016.
The statistics bureau said yesterday that Southeast Asia’s largest economy expanded an annual 4.92% in the January-to-March
quarter, below the median 5.05%
in a Reuters poll and the October-to-December pace of 5.04%.
Growth weakened for the fifth
straight year in 2015, to 4.8%, as
poor commodity prices, contracting exports, tepid investment and
waning consumption produced
the lowest growth rate since 2009.
But the economy gained some momentum in the second half of last
year as newly appointed ministers
accelerated government spending.
The statistics bureau took an optimistic tone. “Our start in 2016 is
better than the start of 2015,” said
bureau head Suryamin. “Economic
activity almost always slows in the
first quarter, especially after growing higher in the fourth quarter.”
In the first quarter of 2015, annual growth was 4.73%.
Bureau data showed consumption
was stable in the first quarter and
there was a rise in government-led
investment from a year earlier. However, investment growth was weaker
than in the December quarter.
The bureau said a major reason
for slower growth was a drought
worsened by the El Nino weather phenomenon, which hurt crop
output. Darmin Nasution, chief
economics minister, said another
reason was slowing loan growth.
Euben Paracuelles, a Nomura
economist in Singapore who had
projected 5.4% first-quarter growth,
said there was “some loss in growth
momentum” as he had expected
stronger public investment. “This
will raise the question of the sustainability of the recovery, but we
would still argue that the recovery
will continue, led by domestic demand,” he said.
Tim Condon, ING’s Asia chief
economist, said the lower growth
pace in January to March than the
previous quarter “is probably a oneoff and the economy is in a sort of
healing mode but obviously not a
straight line path”.

sector. He has pledged to get Indonesia’s growth up to 7% a year

shown above or to the right of normal search results, with payments
based on click-through rates.
That said, the near-8% fall in
Baidu’s share price could still be
justified. Baidu depends almost
entirely on advertising revenues,
which at US$9.9 billion last year
were 96% of total sales. Within that,
healthcare is one of five sectors
that together make up more than
half of its total ad sales, according
to analysts at Bank of Communications. Baidu could end up accepting less medical business, and
spending more on reviewing clients
and adverts.
It could also simply suffer from
a heavy-handed official response.
Scandals over the years, from tainted blood to toxic milk powder, have
made public health an especially
touchy subject. And Beijing is still
reeling from revelations of illegal
vaccine sales, which sparked nationwide public anger in March
and prompted regulators to punish
hundreds of officials. That is particularly potent when combined
with online fury. — Reuters

Indian parliament says
no to tycoon’s resignation
NEW DELHI: India’s upper
house of parliament has rejected Vijay Mallya’s resignation of his seat, saying a letter the embattled tycoon sent
from Britain did not conform
to “procedures” or carry an
original signature. The multimillionaire left India in March
owing more than US$1 billion (RM3.99 billion) in unpaid
loans, and is under investigation by a parliamentary ethics
committee. On Monday he resigned from the Rajya Sabha,
or upper house, saying in a letter to the chairman that he did
not want his name to be “further dragged in the mud” and
calling the accusations against
him “false and baseless”. But
Rajya Sabha chairman Hamid
Ansari said late Tuesday the
letter was not valid. — AFP

Adidas hooks
struggling golf
business into
the rough
FRANKFURT: Adidas AG said
yesterday it would sell off its golf
equipment brands, as it published
“record” quarterly results showing a strong performance in the
United States, a key market for the
German sports giant.
Following a “strategic review”
of its golf business, Adidas said it
would “actively seek a buyer” for
some of its top equipment brands,
including TaylorMade, Adams and
Ashworth.
The firm said it would focus
on selling golf shoes and clothing through its Adidas Golf brand.
“Now is the time to focus even
more on our core strength in the
athletic footwear and apparel market,” said Herbert Hainer, the firm’s
chief executive officer.
The golf business has proved
to be an Achilles heel for the firm
with sales plunging amid a sharp
decline in the Russian market.
Due to the subsidiary’s poor
performance, Adidas was twice
forced to downgrade its annual
forecasts in 2014, spoiling any
boost from the Football World
Cup in Brazil.
Despite restructuring efforts,
the golf business saw sales decline
by 1.7% in the first quarter — to
€275 million (RM1.26 billion).
With the sale of the golf division,
the firm appears to be concentrating on its core brands of Adidas and fitness specialists Reebok.

iPhone can be a handbag,
Chinese court says in Apple case
BEIJING: A Chinese court has
ruled against Apple Inc in a case
it brought against a small maker of
“iphone”-branded leather goods,
state media reported.
Manufacturer Xintong Tiandi
Technology (Beijing) Co Ltd registered the word as a trademark for
use on leather goods in 2007 and
has been producing wallets, handbags and phone cases emblazoned
with it ever since.
Apple has used the “i-” prefix
for years and spends vast sums on
marketing around the world. Its first
iPhones were produced in 2007, but
the wildly popular device was not
first officially sold in China until
2009. The firm took Xintong Tiandi
to China’s trademark commission
in 2012 and then to court, losing
the initial case the following year.
On appeal the Beijing municipal
higher people’s court ruled Apple
had failed to prove that the iPhone
brand was “familiar to the public
and widely known” in China before
the leather company registered it,
the People’s Daily newspaper, the
official mouthpiece of the Commu-
nist Party, reported on Wednesday.
As such Xintong Tiandi did not
violate the country’s trademark
law, it said.
The report came after Apple’s
iTunes Movies and iBooks service
became unavailable in China two
weeks ago, reportedly shut down
at the demand of state censors
less than seven months after they
launched in the country. It also followed Apple’s first quarterly revenue
decline since 2003 as the company
faces slowing growth in the world’s
second-largest economy. — AFP
Marchionne’s job upgrade bodes ill for Fiat
BY OLAF STO RBEC K
LONDON: If you had the choice
between driving a Fiat and a Ferrari, what would you choose? Sergio Marchionne has answered this
question in his very own way: both,
and at the same time. On Monday,
the chief executive officer of Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles took over the
same position at Ferrari SpA. The
timing is unfortunate, because Fiat
needs him more than ever.
In a way, Marchionne’s move just
ratifies the actual balance of power
at Ferrari. The luxury carmaker was
listed separately on the stock market
in October and legally spun off from
Fiat Chrysler in January. As Ferrari’s
chairman, Marchionne had been
the architect of this move and had
effectively called the shots in the
spun-off luxury brand.
Ferrari is almost certainly the
more alluring of the two jobs. Its
double-digit operating margins are
among the car industry’s highest,
and sales volumes grew 15% in the
first quarter. Despite a 19% slump
in the share price since October,
investors are valuing the stock at
22 times the next 12 months’ earnings, Thomson Reuters data shows.
That’s three to four times the valuation of most listed peers. Porsche
AG, which has grown sales volumes
by almost seven times since 1996,
may indicate the future potential.
Fiat Chrysler, on the other hand,
is one of the weaker global carmakers, facing operative challenges as
well as a feeble balance sheet. In
Europe, the world’s seventh largest
automaker is only producing an
operating margin of 1.9%, compared with at least twice as much
at rivals like Renault and Peugeot.
Sales in Latin America and Asia are
falling. Net debt shot up by 30% to
€6.6 billion (RM30 billion) at the
end of the first quarter.
Marchionne has made no secret
of his view that a merger between Fiat
and a big rival would be his preferred
next step, and that he wants to leave
Fiat when his current contract runs
out in late 2018. For the Agnelli family
that controls Fiat and Ferrari, in the
absence of a willing merger partner,
broadening Marchionne’s role might
be a way of persuading him to stay.
Other Fiat investors should hope it
works. — Reuters

EC to give
Turkey visa-free
travel to save
migrant deal
BY DA NN Y KEMP
BRUSSELS: The European
Commission (EC) yesterday
was to give conditional backing
to visa-free travel for more than
80 million Turks as the European Union (EU) tries to save
a controversial deal with Ankara to solve the migrant crisis.
Brussels is also set to announce further measures to
tackle the biggest influx of migrants since World War II, with
an extension of border controls
in the passport-free Schengen
zone and an overhaul of its asylum rules.
Turkey has threatened to
tear up the March agreement
to take back migrants who cross
the Aegean Sea to Greece if the
EU fails to keep its promise to
allow Turkish citizens to travel
without visas to the Schengen
area by next month.
Many EU states still have
concerns about the legality of
the deal and the human rights
situation in Turkey, and the
plan for 90-day visas must be
cleared by all 28 nations in the
bloc and the European Parliament.
The Commission is expected
to find that Turkey has achieved
only 64 of the 72 benchmarks
needed for visa-free travel,
which range from biometric
passports to respect for human rights, European sources
told AFP.
This means that it will back
the visa arrangement if Ankara
completes the so-called visa
liberalisation road map by the
end of June, the sources said.
Turkey, meanwhile, has
been rushing through laws in
recent days to meet the EU’s
requirements, although that
effort has occasionally stalled
because of a series of mass
brawls in parliament.
The new laws include making a reciprocal visa agreement
for EU nationals, including
those of Cyprus, with which
Turkey has long-standing tensions over its occupation of
the north of the Mediterranean island.
Yesterday the EU was to also
allow countries to extend border controls in the Schengen
area as a result of the migrant
crisis and recent terror attacks.

ing — the first of its kind for nearly
40 years — has involved mobilising
the entire country in a 70-day campaign that only ended on Monday.
The congress opens tomorrow
and is expected to cement Jong-Un’s
status as supreme leader more than
four years after he came to power following the death of his father
Kim Jong-Il.
The ruling party’s official mouthpiece, the Rodong Sinmun daily, said
the coming congress was a “sacred”
event that would enshrine JongUn’s achievements, from infrastructure projects to developing submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
These were victories won, the
newspaper said, through a national
struggle against UN sanctions over
IN BRIEF
the North’s nuclear programme, the
threat posed by US-South Korea military drills and international criticism
of the North’s human rights record.
Referring to the country’s nuclear arsenal as a “precious sword”,
Rodong said the weapons were a
“treasure of all happiness that will
ensure many things in decades to
come”. — AFP
Canadian city
evacuated as huge
blaze engulfs homes
No casualties have yet been reported
BY M ARC BRAIBANT
MONTREAL: The 100,000 residents of the Canadian city of Fort
McMurray were ordered to leave
town on late Tuesday as a monster wildfire swept through the oil
sands region, in Alberta province’s
largest-ever evacuation.
No casualties have yet been reported but gas stations exploded
and a hotel and one of the town’s
many motorhome parks went up in
flames, according to local media.
The air was thick with black
smoke.
“I know that it’s a very scary
time,” Alberta Premier Rachel Notley told a press conference.
“Our focus is completely and
entirely right now on ensuring the
safety of people, getting them out
of the city and ensuring that they
are safe and secure.”
The airport was still open but
the hospital had to close.
Long lines of cars travelled
north via the main highway of
the city, while flames ravaged
the embankment on the side of
the road. Police closed the southbound lanes.
The fire, which was contained
until Monday south of Fort McMurray, was pushed towards the
city by winds of 50km per hour and
quickly reached homes, helped by
a drought in Alberta.
The province saw record tem-

peratures of nearly 30°C.
The fire quickly expanded, with
blazes forming in several places
and thus forcing the city’s evacuation.
Bruce Mayer, assistant deputy minister of agriculture and
forestry, said nine air tankers, a
dozen helicopters and about a
hundred firefighters were battling
the flames, with reinforcements
on the way.
Some 160 police officers were
mobilised to implement the evacuation, according to Notley.
Oil companies, crucial to the
region’s economy, set up emer-
1,000 km
gency shelters in their huge bungalow communities for Canadian
and foreign workers.
These camps have been partially deserted for the past two
years due to the drop in oil prices and the thousands of lay-offs
that followed.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
said he had called Notley to offer
federal aid to the province.
Notley said she was seeking
airlift operation capability from
the federal government.
A more limited alert earlier saw
authorities evacuate 30,000 people. — AFP
Gang rape in Indonesia sparks reform calls
JAKARTA: Indonesian activists
called yesterday for the government to urgently strengthen
laws against sexual violence after
the brutal gang rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl sparked
outrage.
The teenager was on her way
home from school in a small village on the main western island
of Sumatra when she was allegedly set upon by a drunk gang of
men and boys.
Her battered body was found
three days later in woods, tied
up and naked, according to local
media reports. There were allegedly 14 perpetrators, and 12 have
so far been arrested.
The crime took place in early
April but anger has only grown
in recent days as reports of the
incident went viral on social
media.
President Joko Widodo added
his voice to the chorus of condemnation yesterday, tweeting:
“We all mourn for this tragic loss
... Girls and children need to be
protected from violence.” — AFP

FOR one night only tonight, three of Malaysia’s prominent classical sopranos will take the stage together
for the first time. Cecilia Yap, Tan Khar Gee and Ang
Mei Foong will perform in Viva Opera’s Stelle (which
means “stars” in Italian), accompanied by distinguished pianist Ng Chong Lim, an alumnus of the
Royal College of Music in London.
In a mixed-language repertoire, the sopranos will
be performing well-loved arias such as Puccini’s
Tosca, Macbeth and Il Trovatore by Verdi, Lucia di
Lamermoor by Donizetti, Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers,
and more by the likes of Lehar, Rossini and Vivaldi.
Apart from that, there will also be Chinese, French
and Italian art songs, along with local compositions.
Considered the current prima donnas of Malaysia’s opera scene, the three sopranos each have
a distinctive tone. Described as a singer with dramatic flair and refined expression, Ipoh-born Yap
is a spinto-lirico soprano with a traditional Italian
powerful vocal style. She spent eight years in Italy
as she studied at the Santa Cecilia Conservatoire as
well as under renowned sopranos such as K S Ann

Saldarelli, Lorraine Nawa Jones Marenzi, and acclaimed operatic director Marcello Ferroni, and now
lectures and performs around the world.
A fellow graduate of the Conservatoire, Ang is also
an alumni member of the National Taiwan Normal
University and the University of Melbourne. Based
in Malaysia, Ang’s voice is described as having a
“warm and pure timbre”, as she dabbles in her love
for contemporary music, including starring roles in
musicals, and notably played roles of Carmen and
Mercedes in Bizet’s Carmen with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.
A skilled coloratura soprano, Tan holds Masters degrees both from the Conservatory of China and the Accademia Lirica Italiana under the tutelage of renowned
tenor Pier Miranda Ferraro, and well-known tutor Roberto Negri from Milan’s Teatro Alla Scala. She’s also performed extensively in China, Italy and the Asia-Pacific.
Stelle will be held at the Experimental Theatre,

Defining sales and marketing
Reclaiming distinctions by building the right combination of the two
BY D R B RI A N KM W ONG
M
y recent article
on “The human
face of marketing” published
in The Edge Financial Daily on
April 21, 2016 provoked readers
into rethinking the true underlying
meaning of marketing.
Negative perceptions of the
marketing profession often pour
in when it relates to sales. Personally, I was once denied a conference
pass into a corporate governance
event as my profession bears the
word “marketing.”
When probed further, the organiser explained that they had had
a negative experience with marketers — who tended to use their
platform to promote and hard sell
their products. Again, specifically,
there is a clear distinction between
sales and marketing.
Generally, we know that these
two functions are different, but is
there a clear distinctive line between
these two? I have realised that commonly, companies have one person
to do both the sales and marketing
functions — as they believe that the
work requirements are similar, if not
the same. In fact, in many smaller scale companies, the marketing
function may not exist at all.
To really understand the clear line
between these functions, I would like
to question the meaning of the words
sale and marketing respectively. It
may sound elementary, but trust me,
there are many confusions in this
instance due to a lack of basic understanding of the words themselves.
Etymologically, the word sale
means “an act of selling”. In fact, the
word sale associated with a person
only appeared in the 1900s when the
word sales representative and sales
associate were introduced. On the
other hand, the word market was introduced as early as the 12th century
with several interpretations related
to “to trade, deal in, buy, wares, merchandise, and possibly referring to
various aspects of economics.” In a
nutshell, it is defined as “a meeting
at a fixed time for buying and selling
livestock and provisions.”
The word marketing was later introduced in the 1560s as a verb, interpreted as “buying and selling”. The
interpretation evolved to “produce
bought at a market” in the 1700s,
and in 1897, the business element
was considered and reinterpreted
as a “process of moving goods from
producer to consumer with emphasis on advertising and sales”.
From here, we can deduce that
the marketing function is to connect the buyer and the seller, thus
creating a marketspace. The sale is
an element of marketing, but not
the same function though.
Marketing is the activity,
set of institutions, and
processes for creating,
communicating,
delivering, and
exchanging offerings that
have value for customers,
clients, partners, and
society at large. — AMA
These etymological interpretations have evolved — in our modern world — to such as:
(1) Marketing is the management
process responsible for identifying,
anticipating and satisfying customer
requirements profitably. (Chartered
Institute of Marketing, CIM)
(2) Marketing is the activity, set of
institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering,
and exchanging offerings that have
value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. (American Marketing Association, AMA)
(3) Marketing is the science and
art of exploring, creating, and delivering value to satisfy the needs of a
target market at a profit. Marketing
identifies unfulfilled needs and desires. It defines, measures and quantifies the size of the identified market
and the profit potential. It pinpoints
which segments the company is capable of serving best and it designs
and promotes the appropriate products and services. (Marketing guru
Professor Dr Philip Kotler)
While the modern definitions
of marketing are quite different
from the etymological interpretations, it is still debatable, leaving
no universal definition for us to
conclude. Nevertheless, we know
what a marketer needs to do rather than just merely encouraging
people to buy a product or service.
Marketing involves a set of skills
— to identify unresolved problems
the customers have, to understand
its own company’s capabilities, to set
the company’s overarching direction.
It also requires the capability to
explore, create, and deliver value to
the stakeholders. To do so, it needs
the ability to understand both the
buyers and the sellers through the
human lens and not merely a resource for one to tap.
These capabilities can only be
nurtured through several encounters with the people in the marketspace, which then build up to what
we call experience. Special training
can further enhance the experience,
though it may or may not involve
a high level of education.
Companies which have a limited budget for hiring different personnel to perform sales and marketing functions will first need to
understand that the functions are
indeed different.
When searching for that one
person, such companies will probably need to go through a trial and
error process until they find the
4.98
128.98
correctly formulated superman.
Perhaps, companies should
consider investing in developing
a marketing team — tasked with
creating a proper marketspace for
the company to interact with the
potential buyer which reduces the
burden of the sales representative
in having to perform cold calls.
Companies which already have
an independent marketing team
should start to revisit their marketing function and integrate it
into the corporate strategy. In most
cases, the marketing team acts as
the driver, leading the company’s
capabilities toward the customers’
pain points and solve them.
In this ever-changing and competitive marketplace, the marketer
needs to be recent and able to prepare a conducive marketspace for
the sales people to clinch a deal.
It is not just about profit, the 4Ps
(product, price, place, promotion),
and selling blindly to the market,
but a communication concept that
bridges two parties (the seller and
the buyer). Without a proper connection, companies are risking high
overhead costs and failures.
One thing is common, though,
whether it is a sale or a marketing
function, both are dealing with humans and this requires the ability
to speak the right language.
The human face remains a requirement regardless of the sale and
marketing functions in a company.
A carefully crafted combination of
sales and marketing is vital for successful business growth.

Singapore stocks — Straits Times Index
closes 1.36% lower at 2,773.07 points
SINGAPORE: Singapore stocks closed
lower yesterday, tracking leads from the
overnight decline in the United States.
Oil prices weakness hurt related companies such as rig builders. Sembcorp
Marine fell 3.1% to S$1.59, while Keppel
Corp fell 2.8% to S$5.25.
As at 5.04pm, the benchmark Straits
Times Index was down 38.13 points or
1.36% to 2,773.07, as shares in Singapore
Telecommunications Ltd and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp Ltd (OCBC) extended
losses.
On the broader market, the volume
of shares traded came in at 897.5 million
with a total value of S$1.2 billion. Losers
outnumbered gainers 276 to 102.
Among the actives were Ezra Holdings, Noble Group, Genting Singapore and
Singtel. Most large caps declined with little
corporate news to drive individual counters
during the early session.
Singapore Press Holdings fell 3.7% to
S$3.92 after going ex-dividend. Wilmar International fell 3.3% to S$3.51 with nearly
22 million shares traded.
CIMB downgraded its rating on OCBC
shares and cut its target price to S$8.80
from S$10.01. Singapore tracked wider
Asian markets where MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan
dropped 1.3%.
while oil prices dropped for a second day,
dragging down energy shares.
Activity in China’s factories shrank for
the 14th straight month in April as demand
stagnated, a private survey showed. Britain’s manufacturing output also unexpectedly shrank last month to its lowest level
in three years.
Bucking the day’s trend, Apple rose
1.6% to US$95.18, breaking an eight-session streak of losses.
US oil prices settled down 2.5% as rising output from the Middle East renewed
concerns about global oversupply. The S&P
energy index, down 2.2%, led declines in
the benchmark index.
Still, the recent recovery in oil prices
and a softer US dollar have helped the
S&P 500 rebound from a steep sell-off
earlier this year. The benchmark index is
now up about 1% for the year so far.
“We had a nice rally on Monday, and in
essence we’re peeling that back on Tuesday. The market is stuck in a trading range
that is at the intersection of full valuations
in US equities and news that has not been
necessarily overwhelmingly positive,” said
Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist
at Janney Montgomery Scott in PhiladelUS stocks — Wall Street loses ground
phia.

Uni-Asia Holdings also fell 4% after it
said it expects to post a net loss for the
first quarter (1Q).
Darco Water Tech closed 2.8% higher
at 37 Singapore cents after the wastewater management firm said subsidiary PV
Vacuum Engineering won four contracts
worth a total S$13.1 million to supply and
maintain the Pneumatic Waste Conveyance
System for domestic waste collection in
Singapore.
United Food Holdings fell 18% to 8.2
Singapore cents after issuing a loss warning on Tuesday night. The group says it expects to report a loss in 1QFY16 to March.
The loss is due to the halt in its soybean
production, as well as a gross loss in its
animal feed products. Further details will
be disclosed when the firm releases its
results by May 14.
Cacola Furniture International fell 12.5%
to 0.7 Singapore cent after announcing on
Tuesday it is raising up to S$30.6 million
through a rights issue. It has proposed to
issue as many as 1.6 billion new shares at
1.9 Singapore cents for each rights share.
Under a bonus issue, it will also issue up
to 4.8 billion new shares.

Shares in US automakers were mostly lower as stronger-than-expected sales
for April were not enough to offset worries
that the industry’s recovery is running
out of steam. Shares in Ford fell 1.4% to
US$13.43.
The biggest economic release on the
agenda this week is monthly US payrolls,
due tomorrow. Last week, US data showed
tepid growth in first-quarter gross domestic
product and a softening in the US Federal
Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation.
Besides Apple, some healthcare companies were a bright spot, with Pfizer up
2.7% at US$33.70 after reporting a rise in
quarterly revenue and raising its forecasts
for the year.
Shares in drug maker Mallinckrodt
Plc were up 6.8% at US$64.84 following
its results, while Mylan was up 2.3% at
US$43.69, also after results.
About 7.8 billion shares changed hands
on US exchanges, compared with the 7.1
billion daily average for the past 20 trading
days, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the New York Stock Exchange
by 2,286 to 741, for a 3.09-to-1 ratio on the
downside; on the Nasdaq, 2,083 issues
fell and 738 advanced for a 2.82-to-1 ratio
favouring decliners.

Respite for the US dollar
after euro, yen retreat
The yen and the euro both retreated from
long-term highs against the US dollar yesterday as markets looked to a series of US
jobs releases due by the end of the week for
fresh direction.
The US dollar gained 0.2% to ¥106.75, off
earlier highs. It was up marginally on the
day at US$1.1491 per euro, compared with
Tuesday’s low of US$1.1616.
The greenback hit an almost 19-month
low of ¥105.55 overnight, having hit its weakest against the euro since last August on
Tuesday.
Measuring by the trade-weighted index
used by the European Central Bank, the
euro rose on Tuesday past levels around
96 assumed by the bank in its last forecasts,
spurring speculation that officials may seek
to talk the currency down. — Reuters

Oil rises above US$45 after
slide, and Canada wildfire
Oil rose above US$45 a barrel yesterday as
reduced production in Canada’s oil sands
region due to a wildfire pushed aside concern about excess global supplies and expectations of rising US crude inventories.
The Canadian province of Alberta was
evacuating the entire population of Fort McMurray, where a wildfire was taking hold in
the heart of the country’s oil sands region,
prompting some companies to cut output.
Brent crude futures was up 11 US cents at
US$45.08 . It reached a 2016 high of US$48.50
last Friday, but settled lower on that day and
fell again on Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, US crude futures was up 13 US cents
at US$43.78.
“Oil prices could receive support from
the wildfires in the Canadian oil province
of Alberta,” said Carsten Fritsch, analyst at
Commerzbank. — 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.
