It will close alot higher than 0.415 by end of the day.

What was this buy back exercise all about? Is there some sort of an ulterior motive behind this?

We know the rumour has been out for awhile but has this already been priced by the market? Sure doesn't look like it considering the % movement during the past week.

Still have to come to the party, it is a contract, can't get out of it. Unless there are some under table sweetners or contracts to major investors without the rest of the shareholders knowing. Well this is Malaysia, anything is possible.

Let's get back to main point. the STOCK. Thank you.

Good call TonyS9. That is all they can do and we have to wait until close of market the next day to tell us that!

Proposed new share buy back?

Nothing on Bursa's announcement.

RUOK? Do you need help?

It was not common knowlege, but long before the SKIN bid there was always a connection between inside investors of Presbhd and Eduspec.

I think you will find that friendship tends to get through all hurdles as friends get older and are more compromising and forgiving.

Don't think there is alot of fibre cables used in 5G, more towers, maybe.

Same, same. More news but the price does not react. Very slow, testing investors patience

Unless they get the infighting in UMNO sorted out , they are not going to be keen on an early GE15. JOH has got abit of work to get the right support.

First and final single-tier dividend of 2.65 sen per ordinary share.

Does anybody know if Bursa can force sell the excess % of shareholding by Felda, like in a margin call force sell by a broker? If you do not have the power to exercise the rules then nothing will be done. Needs an ULTIMATUM.

They have another month (until 3rd August) to manipulate the share price to a reasonable level to enable them to make another GO. Pretty sure it will crack below the 1.50 very soon. They will need to maintain the price for at least a week to work out the WAP to be used for the GO, which is probably 10-15% above that.

Research firms upbeat on Mah Sing's first land deal in 2022.
https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/research-firms-upbeat-mah-sings-first-land-deal-2022.

Personally,I still think the reaction yesterday to this research is overdone.

Don't think the news on that Johor land deal warrants the current silly action on this counter today. Looks like it will go back to sleep tomorrow.

Looks like computer generate buying of 100 shares to push the price up. At least last 20 transactions are 100 shares.

Surely no more extensions. If I can recall, that will end up with 4 lots of 6 months extensions and the share price is still back where it is! Still got a GE15 to deal with.

There is always good news but the price does not reflect the news.

SHOULDN"T collect until it gets below 1.30. Forget all the hype , it is a price controlled stock.

Wee: 'White knight' to take over the major contractor of JB-Singapore RTS Link.
https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/wee-white-knight-take-over-major-contractor-jbsingapore-rts-link.

“The board of Ekovest wishes to clarify that the company is currently in ongoing discussions with the relevant parties to explore a potential takeover of the RTS Link project.

"All negotiations are still ongoing and appropriate announcement will be formalised upon finalisation of the agreed terms and conditions,” its filing with the local operator showed.

Notably, Lim has a 30.8% stake in Ekovest.

"-------- the next hearing date has been scheduled on 4 July 2022 in respect of PSKIN’s application to hold a discussion between costs experts."

That is 7 days away. Hopefully it is not another one of those going around in circles.

KYY is back. Can't see any reason for him to be sitting out of this with their latest annual report. OTB won't be far behind. This should at least be above 0.76 placement price 6 months earlier. Don't think anyone on the 0.76 private placement is going to sell it back in the buy back of possibility WAP 0.47.

Kit Siang urges Cabinet to freeze all increases in salaries and allowances of GLCs.

“This is not only most excessive in troubled economic times, but downright obscene, and must be smacked down by the Cabinet and Parliament,” he said.

Well, at least there is someone who is thinking what I am thinking. OBSCENE! What happen to the opposition leader? Why do we need a retired leader to make a comment like this.

What is the point of having a public spread requirement ruling if they can't even enforce it. Just close one eye because we are GLC!

Pay raise for FGV chairman, non-executive directors.
https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/pay-raise-fgv-chairman-nonexecu...

Ridiculous! Have they done anything. Should be performance link. That is what happen when FELDA has the controlling interest and has not corrected it since the GO. Straight abuse and manipulation of minority shareholders. Wake up BURSA. By the way, anybody from FGV gone to jail yet?

Are they working to get the price down to below 1.30 so they can make another GO @ 1.30 or even @ 1.40 before the expiration of the generous continuous extension granted of 6 months on 3rd August. Absolutely unfair to take advantage of shareholders who did take up the offer before.

Can't see any reason why the price is still on 0.425. The annual report wasn't that bad!

Obviously didn't know what to do with the extra cash. OTB coming back?

So what is happening? The BOD sitting on their backside collecting their money until the pot is empty? Should be delisted.

Need BossKu to open his mouth again to get it moving.

Bad. Obviously we need GE15. The market is not going anywhere. Need UMNO to need some funding for GE15 to move this counter.

Wish all these analysts will stop pumping their counters.How does MS manage to get that low? It is a long way from the $1.00+ on announcement of their entry into gloves.

How does it manage to drop that much on such a high volume?

My reading of the action in the last 10 minutes is the sellers are being taken out. There is a very hungry crazy buyer just picking up everything on the market. Serious buyer chasing.

Watch out. Don't get both your arms chopped off by the falling knife.

Looks like the effect of the DOW has lost out to the 2.7bil future business.

The good question this morning is whether the good news last night about on the 2.7 billion will push the price up further OR will the o'night crash of the DOW of 741 points again is going to have a greater influence on the market.

Yeah, go and tell the BOD at the next AGM.

Up abit but still in a down trend, long way to climb back.

Time to buy Tesla.

No go here, 1.5 hours later, it is still at it's low of yesterday's close with a pittance volume to match. Don't think there are anymore loose monkeys to shake off this tree.
