Dated March, 2016: "Earthworks for the new campus in Klang will start in June this year, and construction will take about two years. We expect the school to commence operations in 2019"

PVI123, can share with us the source that said the Sri KDU Klang will be opened in 2018? At least from http://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2015/09/19/paramounts-education-play/ It says:

"Paramount has plans to set up another Sri KDU facility in Jalan Goh Hock Huat, Klang.
This new school will have a capacity to cater to 1,500 students and is expected to start in 2016."

Couldn't find any news about the Sri KDU budget school at Klang.

Yes, graceling? What news you're looking for? Or just check out the news from Bursa Malaysia website.

Jeffery Chew is also the director of Asian Banking School (ABS),

and hopefully he can leverage the experiences in ABS to build the build the accounting and business programs in KDU university college.

At least they asked about the plan of the 54.2 acres of land in Australia.
The land is bigger compared to the Paramount Utropolis which built on the 21.8 acres of land. It would be interesting when Paramount start the development in the future.

I like questions asked by the Minority Shareholder Watchdog (MSWD) in the AGM.
Wondering if they are always there in the past AGM.

Following tomatoman79, here are the NTPM business development that interest me,
* focus on Indo-China and Thailand, outside of Malaysia and Singapore. See http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/highlights/273060-interview-indochina-the-next-frontier-for-ntpm.html
* Successfully penetrate some of the hypermarkets in Thailand, which contribute growth in paper segment.
* tissue paper machines are scheduled for commissioning in Vietnam, November 2014.
* good business with diapers, and one more unit of pants-type diapers machine with be commissioning somewhere in December 2014.

NTPM investing RM20mil in new plant
http://www.thestar.com.my/Business/Business-News/2014/06/30/NTPM-investing-RM20mil-in-new-plant/

Does anyone knows the status of NTPM's factory in Vietnam?
When is it going in production?

Should we be wary that the profit before tax is dropped in Q4? Do you have any idea why Q4's result is the worst among all the quarters?

2014 2013 2012
Q1 16,583 14,515 12,362
Q2 20,636 16,953 12,949
Q3 18,847 18,819 18,063
Q4 13,814 17,077 16,166

The profit in the coming quarter should be improved because of Hari Raya!

GGmalaysia, may I know why you said the profit dropped?
The profit before tax for 2013 was RM67,364,000, whereas for 2014 is RM69,880,000. Isn't that profit is increased in 2014?

no doubt people are using tissue papers & diapers everyday, but they are not necessary NTPM products. beside NTPM, Kimberly-Clark, Giant and Tesco also sell their tissue papers. as for the diapers, NTPM is a new player in the market.
i'm wondering how strong is the business moat because there is no switching cost and etc. for example, one can buy any other brands of tissue papers or diapers any time.
what do you think?

the revenue in previous year (2013) was RM480,566,518.
the revenue of cumulative quarter (9 months, 31 jan 2014) is RM384,483,000.
i'm wondering if NTPM can do better than last year, any comment?

I'm trying to calculate free cash flow for NTPM. In 2013,
Net cash flows generated from operating activities was 79,221,327 and,
Property, plant and equipment was 273,438,493 so,
it's free cash flow was -194,217,166 ?

If my calculation is correct, then it seems that NTPM has been generating negative free cash flow since 2004.
