Democracy???
Many polls result showned 60% want to oust DPP government, they see DPP government as corrupt, authoritarian and risking a war with China.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson’s Remarks on US State Department’s Statement on the Election in China’s Taiwan Region
2024-01-14 15:34

The US State Department’s statement on the election in China’s Taiwan region seriously violates the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, and goes against the US’ own political commitment to maintaining only cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan. It also sends a gravely wrong signal to the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces. We strongly deplore and firmly oppose this, and have made serious representations to the US side.

The Taiwan question is at the very core of China’s core interests and the first red line that must not be crossed in China-US relations. The one-China principle is a basic norm in international relations, a prevailing consensus among the international community, and the political foundation of China-US relations. China firmly opposes the US having any form of official interaction with Taiwan and interfering in Taiwan affairs in any way or under any pretext. We urge the US to earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués and act seriously in accordance with the commitments that have been reaffirmed multiple times by the US leaders to not supporting “Taiwan independence”, “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan”, and not seeking to use the Taiwan question as a tool to contain China. We urge the US to stop interactions of an official nature with Taiwan and stop sending any wrong signal to the separatist forces for “Taiwan independence”.

What is the Status Quo?
US: One China policy
China: One China Principle and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China

Or
The DPP does not acknowledge the One China principle, which sees Taiwan as part of greater China

Or the history status quo
CCP and KMT is still at civil war

Form over substance.
Democracy in form but authoritarian in hijacking the whole Taiwan
(40% + 60%) into a war path with China.

America's dangerous friends
America's enemies are becoming more dangerous, but even its friends could drag it into expanded conflicts this year.

1. Volodymyr Zelensky
2. Benjamin Netanyahu
3. William Lai

Now you should know what it mean by if you have friends like these, who needs enemies?

Putin was elected by an election one man/woman one vote then why people still labelled Putin as dictator?

Many Polls conducted before election show 60% want to kick out DPP from government for corruption, authoritarian and risking a war with China.

So should we respect the 60%.

Can I also conclude the result show the flaw of Taiwan's democratic system where the 40% rule over the other 60%?

Only 40% of voters vote for DPP, may I ask how you concluded: The result shows voters backing the DPP’s view that Taiwan is a de facto sovereign nation that should bolster defenses against China’s threats and deepen relations with fellow democratic countries, even if that means economic punishment or military intimidation by Beijing?

This is what US position on Taiwan:

The United States switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979 and has long said it does not support a formal declaration of independence by Taiwan. It does, however, maintain unofficial relations with the self-governed island and remains its most important backer and arms supplier.

WASHINGTON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Saturday the United States does not support the independence of Taiwan, after Taiwanese voters rebuffed China and gave the ruling party a third presidential term.

I must also thanks Mike-tikus coming in to promote jaks so that I take profit on Jaks and move to Insas-WC.
TQVM

It is at the best interest of Taiwan to talk to China. Afterall talking would not kill you but war would.

Mike-tikus,
No point keep recycle your cut and paste old news.
Everyone know all these old news about Jaks and now keep a watchful eye on Q4 end 31/12/23 result on the latest news of impairment losses, addition 10% JHDP, any dividend from JHDP, whether LLS4 another lose quarter and any PP or RI in year 2024.

Taiwan's total exports decreased 9.8% in 2023 to $432.5 billion, the Finance Ministry said Tuesday. Mainland China and Hong Kong accounted for $152.2 billion, down 18.1%. Their share of 35.2% dipped from 38.8% in 2022. Exports to Europe grew 2.9% to $42.2 billion, and those to the U.S. rose 1.6% to $76.2 billion.

China need peace to develop economically and military then hence the need to resolve the boarder issues with Russia urgently with an agreement or risk an all out nuclear war.

In 1964, the Chinese revisited the matter of the Sino-Soviet border demarcated in the 19th century, originally imposed upon the Qing dynasty by the Russian Empire by way of unequal treaties. Negotiations broke down amid heightening tensions and both sides began dramatically increasing military presence along the border. Sino-Soviet relations worsened further following the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Border confrontations escalated in March 1969 when a group of People's Liberation Army troops engaged Soviet border guards on Zhenbao Island in Manchuria, resulting in considerable casualties on both sides. Further clashes occurred in August at Tielieketi in Xinjiang and raised the prospect of an all-out nuclear exchange. The crisis de-escalated after Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin met with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai in September, and a ceasefire was ordered with a return to the status quo ante bellum.

In order to counterbalance the Soviet threat, the Chinese government sought a rapprochement with the United States. This resulted in a secret visit to China by Henry Kissinger in 1971, which in turn paved the way for President Richard Nixon's official visit to China in 1972.

Sino-Soviet relations remained sour after the conflict despite the re-opening of border negotiations, which continued inconclusively for a decade. Serious talks did not occur until 1991, when an agreement was reached shortly before the fall of the Soviet Union. The border issues were conclusively resolved between China and Russia following a treaty signed in 2003 and an additional agreement in 2008.

INVESTIGATORS REVEAL JIMMY LAI MONEY TRAIL
Huge amounts of international money flowed into the bank accounts of Jimmy Lai—and large sums of cash went out to anti-China groups, a court heard yesterday.

The tabloid publisher received HK$2.945 billion in his nine bank accounts in recent years, with deposits coming from the United States, Canada, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and elsewhere. The money is said to have derived “from overseas securities trading”.

But the money didn’t sit there.

Who got cash? Chunks of finance went out to multiple China-hostile political groups in Hong Kong, the US, and the UK, the prosecution said, providing a detailed report from financial investigators. Jimmy Lai’s lawyer Steven Kwan Man-wai did not dispute the information.

Local recipients included the Hong Kong Democratic Party, the Civic Party, the Labour Party, the League of Social Democrats, the court was told.

A wildly critical UK group called Hong Kong Watch, whose members include Benedict Rogers and former Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten, received HK$202,000.

Paul Wolfowitz, former US deputy secretary of defence, was sent HK$1.76 million in payments from 2013 onwards, the court heard. Money also went to a right-wing think tank called the American Enterprise Institute.

Cash also went to a group called the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, organizers of an annual meeting to keep the “Tiananmen Square massacre” story, debunked by Julian Assange and others, alive.

The biggest individual recipient named yesterday was Cardinal Joseph Zen, a retired Hong Kong churchman who has fallen out with his colleagues, including Pope Francis, over his relentless China-bashing. The churchman received HK$3.5 million in 2017, the prosecution said.

The court heard earlier that large sums of money from Jimmy Lai’s funds (held by various entities) were paid to media companies, including the publishers of the Washington Post, the Nikkei Weekly, the UK Guardian, and media groups in India.

Jimmy Lai, 76, is on trial for sedition and collusion, offences illegal worldwide. His colleagues and associates have pleaded guilty in related hearings. The trial continues.

So now you know US talk the talk but not walk the walk.

The Associated Press announced today that all votes had officially been certified.

Clinton had 2,864,974 votes more than Trump, the largest popular vote margin of any losing presidential candidate in U.S. history, according to the AP.

Trump won the presidency by clinching 304 electoral votes, well over the minimum 270 needed. Clinton won 227 electoral votes.

Clinton is the fifth presidential candidate in history to win the popular vote and lose the Electoral College.

Know the different between direct President election the one man/women one vote priciple. And voter only vote for MP and MPs select among themselve PM?

Malaysia was never a democratic country in Priciple else how you explain PJ how many voters for one MP compare to those rural area.

The question why many countries that directly elect their President practice if no candidates win 50%+1 vote then the top two candidiate will go into second round and Taiwan did not?

Democracy is governed by its most popularly understood principle: majority rule.

Is it fair to 60% of votors that did not vote for DPP. Can DPP/Taiwanese claim Taiwan is a democratic country when it did not comply to domocracy core principle of majority rule?

I think Indonesia President election is more fair and democratic.
In the first round if no candidates win 50%+1 vote then the top two candidiate will go into second round.

Why Taiwan did not do that?

As for Hengyuan, I am so sure of the crack spread as this is public available data but alas I miscalculate the China man addicted to gamble and hence the multi-billion in hedged losses.

Lesson learnt, no one can recommend you a sure win stock. So learn to read the financial report: P&L statement, Balance sheet and cash flow statement.

By the way because of reading financial report and monthly FFB production of bplant and jayatiasa, I switch all my bplant to jayatiasa but alas I miscalculate the KLK VGO/LTAT MGO bplant at RM1.55

So life is interesting because you do not know what awaiting you.

It is normal for people to only remember your failure and not your success.
And for my self I only remember my failure on Xingquan.

By remembering your failure then only you will not repeat the same mistake.

For economic reason you need a wide-body aircraft, also known as a twin-aisle aircraft for long haul flights to Europe, South America and Africa. Almost all AA planes are narrow-body with a single aisle only suitable for short-to-medium haul flights.

Fernandes, who told the briefing that he intends to retire within five years, said the airline sale would help Capital A raise funds.

Will AAX able to pay in cash for capA' AIRASIA BERHAD ("AAB) and AIRASIA AVIATION GROUP LIMITED ("AAAGL")?
If not then what does Stony mean "the airline sale would help CapitalA raise funds"?

[10/2/2023, 9:15 am] If you got other place to spend can use first.
My last calculation, i will have sufficient to pay off by thn

[10/2/2023, 9:24 am] It ok. I have more than enough for myself.
You can take mum jalan jalan

Above whatsApp with my son.

Ular just want companion in i3 to lepak together with him.
He already have enough and enjoy talking with his trees.

I can see myself in my children: responsible, filial piety, righteousness, compassionate, hardworking and etc. My children is a good son, a good student, a good worker and will be a good husband, a good father and a good superior.

I just do not want them to go thro' the hard time and preesure I went thro' when I just start working or start my family when I just earned a small salarly.

So when will capA out of PN17?
If I am not mistaken this is what Stony said then:
Tony Fernandes optimistic Capital A will exit PN17 status by year-end
Bernama -
12 Jan 2023, 04:15 pm

“We can be out of PN17, definitely this year, I hope much earlier (than that). All of the consultants are now going through all the work.

“We hope to submit to Bursa (somewhere between) February and April. So, once we get the approval, then we will go through,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the AirAsia Super App Rider and Driver appreciation event today.

At my age money is just a figure to me. But I enjoy seeing my family happy. My two sons just get married last year. And I help them to buy their first house.

Yesterday the Sharks and Whales managed to short CapitalA by 300,000 shares prior to closing.. They are getting nervous...

Borrowers are typically large financial institutions such as prime brokers and hedge funds.

Will the sharks get nervous or they will come for a kill when they sense blood in the water?

Repost:
Know who are the lenders and borrowers of shares for RSS?

To boost retail participation in the domestic market, Bursa Malaysia and Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd teamed up in January to launch the first SBL facility for retail investors. Through this facility, retail investors are able to lend securities that they own but do not intend to sell immediately to Affin Hwang, which serves as the borrower.

Borrowers are typically large financial institutions such as prime brokers and hedge funds while lenders are generally large institutional investors such as pension and sovereign wealth funds.

Let go to me mean just be happy and be satisfified with what you have and live with whatever decision you had made.

I make trading gain on YTLPower, YTL and Bplant. Should I not be happy with trading gain just because I will gain more if I hold the share longer?

By the way come 17 Jan 2024, I am going to received RM 58,125.00 dividend from Insas.

By 1st Feb 2024 do I need to update how much dividend received, trading gain and book gain for month Jan 2024?

Just for the record.
Last year I received RM 214,989.00 dividend. Make trading gain RM 318,881.42 and at the end of year book gain RM 124,398.27

My main holding Insas, Insas-WC, Jayatiasa, OSK, Pantech, MBMR and Armada.

Some time you need to let go in order to gain.

From Insas Annual report 2023, I already drop out of top 30 shareholders list.

Will drop below RM 0.17 if Q4 result very bad with all the bad news. Another PP or RI

And do you think Asia Aviation Public Company Limited a public company listed in Thai stock exchange and PT AirAsia Indonesia TBK a listed company in Indonesia Stock exchange will agreed to paying loyalty fees to Brand AA?

Capital A International shall be made up of Brand AA Sdn Bhd and Fleet Consolidated Pte Ltd
Both Brand AA and Fleet Consolidated are newly formed subsidiaries and do not have any revenue.

Brand AA is a brand management company. It is the registered proprietor for all the rights under the AirAsia brand.
Under a master brand licensing agreement dated May 31 this year, Brand AA has the right to collect royalty fees from AirAsia Aviation Group Ltd, Capital A’s aviation division.

Fleet Consolidated, meanwhile, will primarily be responsible for the procurement and delivery of the requisite aircraft for the aviation group based on the agreed allocation plan.

The proposed deal is to merge CAPI with Aetherium Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ: GMFI), a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”) listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange for an indicative equity value of United States Dollars (“USD”) 1 billion based on an independent valuation of the AirAsia Brand.

Capital A International intends to generate revenue from brand royalty and the leasing of aircraft. Additionally, it will be involved in tactical acquisition, incubation and partnerships to provide platforms for entrepreneurs.

I think the BOD is serious on share buy back.

However, the Board will pursue the proposal for the waiver of MGO with the major shareholders and evaluate the process of share buyback with a view to enhance shareholders’ value. The Board will announce the waiver application as soon as such notice is received. The waiver application will be subjected to the approval of the relevant authorities and non-interested shareholders of the Company at an extraordinary general meeting to be held.

TONY FERNANDES’S GLOBAL EMPIRE TO BE BROKEN UP INTO FIVE LISTED COMPANIES “UTLIMATELY”
JANUARY 9, 2024• DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION, MALAYSIA, MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS, NEWS, SEA•BY YIMIE YONG
Tony Fernandes’s global empire will eventually be broken up into one listed company in the US and four other companies listed in Southeast Asia, the Malaysian tycoon behind low-cost airline AirAsia said on Monday.
Monday.

“We want to build four companies (for the non-aviation business), in the end they’ll probably be broken up. So shareholders of Capital A will own shares in aviation, will own shares in Teleport… we’ll list all of them separately, and one company will probably take over Capital A’s listing,” he told reporters on Monday at AirAsia Aviation 2024 Outlook briefing.

“So in the end, my dream is when I retire… five listed companies, one in America and four in other parts of Asean,” he explained, adding that he plans to retire in five years.

The non-aviation businesses he was referring to include logistics business Teleport, Move (online travel agency and fintech firm BigPay), airline engineering and maintenance services provider Asia Digital Engineering, food company Santan, aviation consulting firm AirAsia Consulting, AirAsia Academy, among others.

Is Stony high on kool-aid or suffered from Grandiose delusions?
He can't even figure out how to make money flying people nor how to get capA out of PN17.
CapA as at 30/9/2023
Current assets: RM 2,072,007,000
Current liabilities: RM 14,599,870,000
Net current liabilities: RM (12,527,863,000)
Has Stony figure out how not to default on net current liabiliaties of RM (12, 527,863,000) in the next 12 months?

By the way Asia Aviation Public Company Limited is public company listed in Thai stock exchange and PT AirAsia Indonesia TBK is listed in Indonesia Stock exchange and capA is trying to list PAA in Philippine stock exchange.
