Some truth to what Ramasamy said about Anwar. Is he a chameleon?
Even Anwar plays to the gallery, but the Northern and East Coast Melayus do not support him. His strength as a PM is with the DAP and to some extent Sabah & Sarawak MPs.

Bilis following speculative gurus will be in panic mode soon as the market will turn down and syndicates will move to other counters.

TG and Supermax abang adik. One loaded with money but want to build a "full of pride" plant in the USA knowing it is a losing "fiasco" venture. Another no more money or little money left to defend the baseline price moving downward in the long term and hoping another pandemic at the horizon.

Should have done so if not for the banking crisis surfacing in the states again, estimated unrealised losses on federal long term bonds held by all banks amounted to USD 500 billion really spooked Wall Street.

Looks like we need EPF and foreign funds to mop up MBSB before its real value is reflected in the market price

Country Heights: Defaults on RM181m payment for Islamic financing facilities. Country Heights Holdings, the property developer founded by tycoon Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew, has defaulted on the payment of Islamic term financing facilities totalling RM181.1m provided by MBSB Bank. Country Heights attributed the default to differences in cash flow timing due to delays in client payments, resulting in a temporary cash flow constraint. (The Edge)

Could reach the target if the owner permits.

LKY the late PM of Singapore had warned decades ago that religious influences are likely to push a weak country to adopt values at the expense of other groups within a society.

SSlee, precisely, culture, religion and the conservative work attitude of a region are difficult to change. That's why the "green party" can even champion less development without voters' backlash.

Popularism that seeks to impose their way of living suggested the voting wave from the East Coast and the Northern part of the peninsular ................ would be misread and mistaken by those thinking that PAS religious morality has nothing to do with it.
In fact, it is the perceived notion that their way of life and their religion is under threat under the Anwar (or DAP) government as always played out by PN. When you kept on repeating a lie people will think it is real eventually.
Quotes from article below,
"Oh juga tidak yakin pemulihan ekonomi akan meningkatkan sokongan Melayu, dengan berkata idea Madani tidak menarik majoriti orang Melayu.
"Sekurang-kurangnya seperti ketika saya ke Kelantan dan Terengganu baru-baru ini,ramai orang Melayu yang mungkin bagi mereka isu sosioekonomi bukan perkara utama.

"Bagi mereka itu adalah cara hidup. Biasanya cara hidup itu berdasarkan pandangan yang konservatif dan agama dan mereka ingin mengekalkannya," katanya lagi."

Kudos, Kedah MB has picked up the most legal civil suits and along the way collected 2 criminal charges for defaming the royal institution. He will be busy fighting off and defending them for the next few years rather than governing Kedah.

Precisely the point, Moo will play the victim of political persecution by the Anwar government because he is leading the opposition. Sympathy will be with him. The Malay support for underdogs has always been recorded since Anwar's reformasi days. Populism not withstanding.

Moo is just trying to save his own skin from the corruption cases he is charged with in court.

He has nothing to offer except playing up race and religion divisive issue to pull down unity government.

Is it really true that boosting investment & reducing inflation would work against popularism? I doubt so.

"It only provides a temporary syiok sendiri high. People like Liew should look into ways to address the plight of the people such as inflation and boosting investments - not just announcing FDI (foreign direct investment) pledges which does not translate into concrete benefits to the people."

Let us wait and observe how the PHBN-led government is going to resolve the issue of a certain section of voters dissatisfied with them. Anwar has 2 years to do that before another state election is due.

I feel in a democratic country we should not overly "demonize" the political choices of certain groups.. The challengue is to convince and win them over... The PM has been in office for less than a year..and being new, I am sure the govt would have taken time to settle in as well. Let us see what he can do... Let us also not overlook the fact the voter turnout was low..So the people who actually voted relative to the population must be very low.... especially in the PN states...Another point, the combined population of the three PH-won states is roughly 10.2 mil while that of the other three is 5.25 mil...Selangor alone has a population of roughly 7.21 mil....Do you see the diparity and the difficulty in making comparisons?

The reason why positive issues based on integrity, transparency and good governance are ignored and voters choose populism instead. We had seen that before during the incarceration of Najib and his court cases, despite their negativity, where his popularity bought Bersatu losses in Malacca & Johor state elections.
However, any pronounced shift in voters' sentiments toward good governance and positive values can only happen if there are significant shifts in what voters perceived as "discriminative values" whether real or not that led them to vote for populism.

“The continued rise of the green wave is an expected push-back against multiracialism and multiculturalism.

“This push-back will continue until the majority of Malaysians learn that ethno-nationalism is dangerous and leads to fragmentation of our society.

“The same issue is faced in many parts of the world as people seek quick answers to problems of inequality and marginalisation,” said Leong.

Speculative gurus attracting bilis in Whatapp and Telegrams to buy this counter, an opportunity for long-term holders to make a quick exit. Typical buy on rumours and sell on the news. How many will be caught?
Let's explore SEAL,
Rights issue (RI) to a corporate highflyer (so-called) at 26 sen for 69 mill shares and price now at 59 sen & RI money is to be used for solar ventures. SEAL is a lumber company or saw mill with declining turnover and losses for many quarters. Is it really worth 59 sen? Takes another 2 years for a new solar business to really move from ground zero. If the acquisition of an existing solar business has to be bought for a premium from its owners, at this time would have to be at a higher price considering the current energy and oil costs.

Good strategy though, because glove sectors are not going but down. Those ignorant and gullible would be drawn to buy and those averaging down would be asking for trouble as the depth of the downwards price movement is unknown and estimated by the funds manager which will not account for how much owners of listed gloves companies manipulate their stock price and range movements.

As I said earlier Supermax should abandon its intention to set up a plant in USA. Just cut losses and get out and distribute the dividend from the cash horde of RM2.2 billions. Market will adjust the price. In doing so Stanley will still gain the most. It is not a shame to let the company share drop to a penny. The fact is the business is in a downturn and rescue can be done through future rights issues.

Retailed business is no more lucrative post covid so he is selling to the public. Smart exit strategy.

Well, I would expect EPF & other shareholders to have a strategic plan to improve the performance of MBSB if they are to create value for the company and at the same time collect more shares of MBSB.
henry888
Sure they would push to at least 96.52 cents and acquisitions sure would go through as EPF is holding more than 50% of the shares. There is no any other reasons minorities would reject the deal as their share value would increase. This is my opinions.

Did you read properly it is not cash but the issue of new shares to shareholders of MIDF.
wallstreetrookieNEW
It's not even a merger. It is a cash-only acquisition. RM1.01 billion
MBSB is spending 1 billion Ringgit Malaysia to acquire a dying business. Malaysia is in a technical recession and thus the investment banking/debt capital markets will experience further downside.

Why is the market still pumping MBSB shares when it is a 'cash-only acquistion' which means the company would have to use cash reserve or issue more bonds to pay back the premium.

A share of MBSB is issued at 96.52 sen to all holders of MIDF shares for the takeover. This is based on the valuation that is acceptable to both parties. It can be the market value if the price hit 96.52 sen later.

Depending on Tan Seli/Taikor, he is the main driver on how and when the price of his counter is at any time. Dun worry all will be fried by Tan Seli until penniless. Just watch if glove ASP still has not recovered there will be fewer and fewer people interested in this counter and the price has to give way to the bottom. In the meantime, Taikor, will have to create news once in a while to excite punters to support his counter. So price swings as it moves side way ......

Sanusi dreamed of mega development in Langkawi with this company. Where is the source of working capital?

Battery-operated motorcycle technology is probably assembly. EP performance depends on selling prices to the B40 market. The margin is not expected to be huge.

The possibility of 40 sen depends on whether the owner will support the counter when selling pressure from weak holders cut losses. Meanwhile, the zig-zag price movement will be attributed to the owners driving the market. Returning to the fundamental is very far from the horizon.

Good net cash position, and business value almost no cost at current price. Interestingly the company is going to set up a plant in the state. I hope the management will shelve the plan, punters are all observing when the net cash will start to decline when the management starts spending. Good management should declare maximum divi and let the price be adjusted ex divi while waiting for the next global pandemic as they can't create value with the current glove ASP.

Over speculation in this counter, PE of more than 40 at the current price. You cannot be milking the price sky-high, it has to give way somehow. Looks like IB taking a profit.

Depends on what you buy for? Investment purpose sure Fcuk! To ride the wave with Tan Seli then OK, make sure TS won't Fcuk your trade.

Since Mid May 2023, news has leaked. Insider making more than 100%.

TG management made an inaccurate report of glove mart recovery in June 2023 last year. Now we know there is just a small sign of consolidation in the glove mart. Recovery is still a dream. Chinese producers are dumping at USD 17 per 1000 pieces, left to be seen whether cost-cutting measures by Malaysian companies will actually bring down ASP.
Even if the cost savings are translated to lower ASP, will the current stock price be fundamentally supported bearing in mind that most gloves counters have huge paid-ups and therefore volume of share?

Looks like BA is still trying to resolve the problem "further work, testing and investigations ongoing to stabilise and bring the vessel operational performance back to pre shutdown level." So it is still ongoing trouble shooting.

I think you guys dun understand what Warren said. If the fundamental of the stock remains the same, even in times of fear of the market crashing then you accumulate. But not the glove sector now facing glut and overproduction, and therefore falling profits and margin, to be objective.

Looks more like management is unable to determine what is wrong with Kraken breaking down, the reason why the price has yet to rebound. If the problem is resolved, the owner would be pushing the price up immediately if it is under valued.

This advice is given by Warren for industries unaffected by sales slumps or bad economic impact. As for the glove industries, the writing was on the wall long ago.

When you sell at 90sen, it will go up to RM1.20.

When u expect it to go down further to 80sen, it will rebound to RM1.20 again.
