Country Heights Holdings Berhad (CHHB) is set to reappear on the radar of investors as management begins to implement new plans that will lead to greater transformation.

According to TA Securities, based on the recent series of events at CHHB since the appointment of managing director (MD) Datuk Jared Lim Chih Li (DJ) in September 2020, the group could reach new heights.

DJ, the son-in-law of Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew, CHHB's former MD and controlling shareholder with current collective interest of 63 per cent, brings nearly 30 years of experience in corporate finance, private equity, entrepreneurship, and transformational leadership with him.

It is learnt that the raids were conducted around the Tropicana area in Petaling Jaya.

PETALING JAYA: The Securities Commission (SC) is believed to have raided premises of listed companies for suspected abuse of fund-raising activities.

According to well-placed sources, the regulator kicked off the investigations following complaints and tip-offs from the public on alleged fraud, as well as potential false or misleading disclosure by several public-listed companies in their fund-raising exercises, including private placements, employees share option schemes and rights issues.

It is learnt that the raids were conducted around the Tropicana area in Petaling Jaya.

A number of listed companies had taken advantage of relaxed fund-raising rules that were loosened during the Covid-19 crisis. The rules were changed to allow companies to sell up to 20% of their issued share capital via private placements until Dec 31, 2021, compared with 10% previously.

In addition, companies were permitted to issue up to 30% of their existing share capital in a share placement if the shareholders approve the exercise at an EGM.

Naturally, the relaxed ruling attracted numerous small-cap companies to raise fresh cash for working capital and future investments or for new business ventures such as rubber glove manufacturing or distribution of vaccines and Covid-19 test kits.

According to the SC, fresh capital raised from secondary issuance, such as share placements and rights issues, rose 76% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM8bil in 2020 and another 78.8% y-o-y jump to RM14.3bil in 2021.

Late last year, Bursa Malaysia proposed amendments to the Main Market and ACE Market Listing Requirements to, among others, boost the transparency on fund-raising exercises involving new securities issuance.

The exchange issued a consultation paper seeking public feedback on these proposed amendments.

Interested parties were invited to submit their comments and feedback by Jan 26, 2024.

Among the key proposed amendments include enhanced disclosures in relation to placement exercises, enhancing the employee share scheme framework by subjecting a share grant scheme to the same restriction on the total number of shares issued under a share issuance scheme.

These amendments were proposed probably to tighten the screw on public-listed companies’ fund-raising exercise rules, which were relaxed to help ease cash constraints caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

PETALING JAYA: Despite the record-breaking transaction value recorded in 2023 in the property sector, the KL Property Index, which is made up of listed shares of property companies, has remained relatively flat.

The index closed at about 918 points yesterday, six points higher compared to the 912 opening points recorded on March 6, the day when the National Property Information Centre (Napic) released its statistics on last year’s property market.

Analysts, however, expressed optimism about the outlook for property stocks on the KL Property Index following the latest Napic results, citing several factors contributing to positive sentiment in the sector.

These include favourable monetary and government policies as well as the spillover effects from major infrastructure projects like the high-speed rail (HSR), rapid transit system (RTS), and mass rapid transit 3 (MRT3).

Speaking with StarBiz, RHB Research analyst Loong Kok Wen said these factors, coupled with the anticipated improved economic growth, are expected to sustain the positive momentum in the property market.

“Generally, developers are aiming for higher sales targets and higher launches this year,” she said, adding that overall, there should not be any negative earnings growth.

Another analyst with a local brokerage also believes that developers are poised for a stronger performance in 2024.

“In addition to favourable monetary and government policies, Malaysia’s resilient growth, supported by increased domestic demand and improved labour market conditions, is anticipated to impact the property sector positively,” she told StarBiz.Similarly, she believes the imminent end of the central bank’s interest rate hike cycle, potential land value boosts from major infrastructure projects and the establishment of special financial hubs and economic zones would collectively contribute to this positive sentiment.

“Furthermore, we expect the implementation of homeowner-friendly policies to add another layer of appeal to the sector,” she added.

Moving forward, the analyst anticipates the above mentioned factors to sustain a positive market momentum for the upcoming months.

“With robust unbilled sales and a solid balance sheet, developers seem well positioned to embrace a promising 2024,” she said.

When asked about the impact of the high cost of living on the property market, Loong said that post-Covid-19, various countries witnessed a surge in inflation as economies reopened.

However, as of 2024, she said inflation is stabilising, signalling a gradual adjustment to the new norm, not only in Malaysia but globally.

“I’m not blindly optimistic, I know inflation is a threat but people are spending, as evident in malls,” she noted.

As for the weakening ringgit, Loong said it will have a direct impact on investor sentiment.

However, she said the impact is not significant on the property market as construction materials are locally sourced.

Despite the weakening local currency, she believes the demand for property is expected to persist, driven by the fact that people refrained from spending during Covid-19.

“The (property) demand is now fuelled by the savings accumulated during that (Covid) period,” she said.

REMEMBER these four things:

Investing is not gambling – only if you know what you are doing.
Don’t let your emotions control you.
Investing is a marathon – not a sprint. Focus on long term.
Every market downturn in history, has ended in an upturn.
