KUALA LUMPUR (April 3): Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas), Puspakom Sdn Bhd, Pharmaniaga Bhd and My E.G. Services Bhd are being scrutinised by a cabinet committee on monopolies, according to domestic trade and consumer affairs minister (KPDNKK) Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

Recommendations made by the committee have yet to be submitted to the cabinet, Saifuddin told reporters at a luncheon talk hosted by MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd today.

He added that there were three elements to consider in assessing monopolies, namely whether the policies that allowed for the creation of these monopolies are still relevant, the size of their investments and the economic impact of potentially dismantling them.

"Monopolies are not necessarily bad, but the ones that are bad are those that are inhibiting their competitors, manipulating prices and controlling supply," Saifuddin said.

The cabinet committee, which was established last year, is chaired by Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali and includes ministers of the Transport Ministry, Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Ministry, Health Ministry and KPDNKK.

The committee will continue to look at other businesses which are monopolistic that fall under their respective ministries, Saifuddin said.

When asked about the allocated amount for the company’s asset enhancement initiatives in 2019, Hashim said “it will be around RM10mil”. What is that 10million for. its a huge amount to be spend.

KUALA LUMPUR: KLCC Property Holdings Bhd (KLCCP) will convert a three-level outlet in its Suria KLCC mall, previously occupied by retailer Parkson, into a “street mall”.

The space will be converted into smaller outlets, said Hashim. He also added that the new tenants will be occupying the outlet spaces by the end of 2019.“This is an opportunity for us to curate the mall to enhance it to the next level. We will transform the ground floor of the outlet into a more open mall, with an exciting experience.“Suria KLCC is actively engaging with the retailers and I am sure they would have a line up of retailers to ensure that the new retail shop lots will be fully occupied,” Hashim told reporters on the sidelines of the Invest Malaysia event yesterday.Parkson was one of Suria KLCC’s earliest tenants since 1998.The lease for the space of more than 120,000 sq ft previously occupied by the retailer has expired. KLCCP’s property portfolios include Suria KLCC, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Kompleks Dayabumi and Menara Maxis.Hashim said that Suria KLCC will see a positive impact on its earnings due to higher net property income contributed by the “street mall” next year. When asked about the allocated amount for the company’s asset enhancement initiatives in 2019, Hashim said “it will be around RM10mil”.

Boeing Co.’s best-selling plane is under a cloud. Regulators and airlines around the world suspended operation of the Boeing 737 Max after the fatal March 10 crash of an Ethiopian Airlines flight, less than five months after the same type of plane flown by Lion Air plunged into waters off Indonesia. The plane continued to fly in the U.S., where the Federal Aviation Administration, often viewed as a global authority on air safety, said it saw “no basis to order grounding the aircraft.” But then the U.S. reversed course, ordering the 737 Max grounded, according to U.S. President Donald Trump. American travelers quickly joined those elsewhere in wondering whether the global action will impact their flights.

BENGALURU: Shares of Boeing Co slid 9 percent in early trading on Monday as many airlines grounded the planemaker’s best selling 737 MAX 8 passenger jet following the second deadly crash involving the plane.

A Nairobi-bound Boeing 737 MAX 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa on Sunday, killing all 157 on board. The same model flown by Lion Air crashed off the coast of Indonesia in October, killing all 189 on board.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China ordered Chinese airlines to ground all Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes after the crash.

The CAA said it would contact the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing regarding the resumption of operations once they are assured that measures have been taken to ensure safety.

Ethiopian Airlines said it had grounded its 737 MAX 8 fleet until further notice as an ”extra safety precaution” even though it did not know the cause of Sunday’s crash.

The 737 MAX 8 uses LEAP-1B engines made by CFM International, a joint venture of General Electric Co and Safran SA. Shares in Safran also fell 1.6 percent on Monday.

Boeing said on Monday the investigation into the Ethiopian Airlines crash is in its early stages and there is no need to issue new guidance to operators of its 737 MAX 8 aircraft based on the information it has so far.

Shares of rival Airbus SE were up 0.5 pct. - Reuters

Bhd may reap benefits if Malaysia follows suit.

Earlier this month, Singapore’s Law Ministry said it was proposing a ban on the sale of set-top boxes or media streaming boxes with services that allow consumers access to pirated content.

According to reports, this is among proposed changes to the country’s Copyright Act, to be tabled in Parliament this year.

The amendments are the result of a three-year review and follows consultation with Singapore’s Intellectual Property Office, content providers, Pay-TV operators, and the public; and will introduce civil and criminal liabilities.



“If Malaysia passes similar legislation, we believe that it would be a huge catalyst for Astro,” the research house said.

The research house has maintained its earnings estimates, “buy” call on the counter and target price of RM1.95.

“We continue to like Astro for its high dividend yields of over 6%, attractive valuations and potential as an merger and acquisition or privatisation candidate,” it said.

In November 2018, the Singapore High Court ordered Internet service providers to cut Internet access to Android TV boxes.

for aeon still long way. PE still expensive

I heard termasek is doing something on aerospace industry

There are 2 representatives from F&N participating as board members of
Cocoaland, assisting to lead long term growth and formulate strategic directions of the Company.Cocoaland currently acts as a nonexclusive contract packer for F&N to prepare, package, pack and deliver F&N’s products in Malaysia.

Leverage Success Sdn Bhd a company controlled by the company's director which in turns control 38.04% of Cocoaland Berhad and Frazer & Neave Holding Bhd. controls 27.19, this shows that the management holds substantial interest in the company and with F&N as second largest shareholder it will definitely brings strategic synergy to Cocoaland because F&N being in the consumer industry itself will not simply invest its money for the sake of capital appreciation or dividend income.The effect of this synergy can been seen in the development and improvement of Cocoaland's business over the years

Cocoaland Bhd is on its way toward a steady and consistent growth. Cocoland is suitable for investor with a long term horizon (more than 1 year) not for those who seek instant gratification on their stock picks.
