Received this email from my solar panel installer.. the potential upside to more demand for RE and/electricity, perhaps more home charging for RV in coming years with increase in demand. Looks positive too for Toyota and Proton. Spillover benefits to MBMR and UMW too!

‐----------------------------‐-------

Dear xxx,

If you have ever considered switching your car to one that runs on electricity, then the following would be interesting for you!


Did you know that Proton, our Malaysia's national carmaker, is targeting to launch its first EV in 2025? Toyota Malaysia also plans to follow suit and enter the electric space in the next few years. This is in line with our Government’s goal of having 1.5 million EVs on the road by 2040.


How it is going so far


The Electric Vehicle (EV) market in Malaysia is relatively small but growing rapidly. According to the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), 2,717 EVs were sold in 2021, a significant increase from the 1,642 units sold in 2020. 💁🏻‍♀️🚘


EVs are also becoming more affordable. BYD, the vertically-integrated Chinese EV automaker (largest EV maker in the world) has entered the Malaysian market offering affordable EV options such as the Dolphin model and the popular SUV Atto 3 model.


Challenges and opportunities

Government can already see that demand for electric vehicles (EVs) will far outstrip that of internal combustion engine (ICE) cars within its 2023-2032 forecast period.


"We currently forecast total EV sales to quadruple in 2023."


The upfront cost of EVs are still higher than gasoline-powered cars in many cases. However, this cost is expected to come down over time as battery technology improves and economies of scale are achieved.


Another challenge is the availability of charging infrastructure. While we are estimated to have more than 1,200 charging stations in Malaysia, there is still room for improvement. Under the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint, the Government plans to install 10,000 charging stations by 2025.

Yalor suddenly so many new fake trolls jumping up and down just because a little correction. I just relax only.. woke up from a short nap and thinking what to have for dinner tonight.. no worries at all.. YTLP in good hands as always.. RE sector the star attraction at least for next 2 years, unless so new policy shift by gomen of the day. So why worry? YTLP not GLC so professionally run and so no political appointments. My friend use to work briefly for YTLB says they really employ brilliant people at the firm and not so easy to get in. So chill

Thanks OTB, very informative indeed.

Dear dragon328,

Good luck.
Thank you.

@chessgame99, just to share, if you know that starting next year, sale of all private share holdings will be subjected to capital gains tax ie companies like private limited, partnership, etc. I am pretty sure in future the government will also initiate tax on capital gains on public listed share equities as well. I think if someone with a sizable capital appreciation have to consider this point as well when planning for investment decisions. I have an idea in mind on what to do when the time comes but due to my reasons I will not publicly share what's my plan to deal with the issue when it comes. What I can say is that it would be wise to also consider the future possibilities to deal with this aspect as well

My comments on said nuisances are not in teference to any creature dead or alive in whatever form. Own personal opinion only, please don't sue me ys

I believe in the law of attraction and the energy we attract, that is why I rarely entertain trolls.. bad for my business in making money in investments

@Zhuge_Liang, not only that. If you read and believe in the book by Rhonda Bryne entitled 'The Secret' you will find that many things in our lives are a result of our actions. If you mix or are positive, you get positive energy and your life is bright. If you are negative or attract negative energy then your life won't be smooth and many hiccups maybe even failure. If one Is a nuisance in life or even in this forum, he or she will attract negative energy because cursed or hated by others. All negative energy will be part of said nuisances life. That's why one should even entertain toxic people in life or you'll attract their bad energy. This is my sincere opinion.

Jerichomy, dont you have some 'Save Gaza' protest to attend or something? Go fight some Jews or something and leave this YTLP alone bang

257% is clean profit mafaka

yes only OTB Machai trade here, since you also here, you are also a OTB machai

anyone can call me machai or sifu, whatever you want but I have the last laugh as I am currently up 257% on my YTLP investment and I am also sure many like me smiling all he way.. insult and talk no use, makes you look like a sour grape and a LOSER too

those who make money talk facts or nothing at all - quietly making money. those who don't ... just talk one liners... attention seekers if you will.. most probably a byproduct of Perikatan Nasional.. 'nuff said

Sweet closing at 2.36, I believe its the highest to date too

@Jaya Based on past 5 years dividend next payout, if without DRIP as early as mid March till early May, if with DRIP is around as early as mid April to as late as mid June.

Revving up Maybank’s sustainability commitments
TheEdge Mon, Nov 06, 2023 10:00am - 1 hour

The progress made in just two years since Maybank unveiled its four headline sustainability commitments has seen the group revising two of the targets upwards - Maybank Chief Sustainability Officer, Shahril Azuar Jimin

By 2025, it aims to mobilise RM80 billion (up from RM50 billion) in sustainable finance and improve the lives of two million (up from one million) households in ASEAN.

Maybank Chief Sustainability Officer Shahril Azuar Jimin says the group has surpassed the halfway mark for these two commitments and the yearly targets for the remaining commitments, namely achieving a carbon-neutral position of its own emissions by 2030 and net-zero carbon equivalent position by 2050, and achieving one million hours per annum on sustainability and delivering 1,000 significant Sustainable Development Goal outcomes by 2025.

According to Shahril, the group has to date mobilised some RM49 billion in sustainable finance enabled by the rollout of the Sustainable Finance Framework (SPF), the first bank in Malaysia to do so. The SPF, which supports greater development of green, social and sustainable products, has elevated the group’s ability to mobilise sustainable finance, he says.

In 2022, more than 90% of non-retail mobilisation was contributed by home markets, says Shahril, adding that 39% of the loan proceeds went towards the development of green buildings (representing a 15% increase from 2021) and 39% to affordable services and infrastructure.

“In 2022, retail mobilisation across home markets increased by 17% from 2021. Thematically, over 50% of sustainable finance was mobilised through the provision of affordable essential services and infrastructure. Roughly 30% was mobilised towards financing clean transportation, while energy efficiency, including financing of green indexed property units and green mortgages, contributed 16%,” he adds.

The lives of more than 1.05 million households across ASEAN have improved as a result of the group’s financial inclusion initiatives, zakat, micro-insurance offerings and community flagship programmes, says Shahril.

On the group’s decarbonisation journey, he says that Maybank has reduced operational emissions by 48.5% against the 2019 baseline thanks to its energy efficiency projects, Malaysia renewable energy certificates and carbon credits.

Maybank’s Sustainability journey thus far:

A point of pride for Maybank is that it is the first bank in the country (and one of the first in ASEAN) to establish a financed emissions baseline, which sets out the starting point for the group to chart its progress towards decarbonisation. Maybank was recently recognised in TIME magazine’s World’s Best Companies 2023 listing, ranked 374th for Sustainability, the only company in Malaysia to receive this accolade.

As for the fourth sustainability commitment, Maybank has achieved more than 580,000 sustainability hours, with 62% directly related to sustainability initiatives.

Shahril sees the group as an enabler in the country’s sustainability journey, particularly with the government’s more recent introduction of several pivotal frameworks and documents to chart the nation’s energy transition and sustainability pathways.

“The National Energy Transition Roadmap and the government’s intention to increase the renewable energy target to 70% by 2050 and uplift renewable energy export ban are steps in the right direction. Maybank sees itself as an enabler in this space. We have identified the areas of focus, including transition finance, renewable energy, carbon credit producing projects and electric vehicles.”

“We see renewables as a top carbon abatement lever for ASEAN, while electric mobility is viewed as an investment opportunity through partnership with equipment manufacturers and developing a charging infrastructure,” he adds.

Maybank, he says, is not taking its foot off the gas when it comes to seeing its sustainability commitments come to fruition. The group plans to develop a science-based, net-zero pathway and strategy to guide its decarbonisation transition. It also plans to carry out strategic engagements with clients, government ministries and regulators in transitioning to a low-carbon economy, as well as craft new and innovative products and solutions to drive mobilisation in sustainable finance.

Good news in horizon, after move to ESG building, more investor will come in

nice closing at 2.18. sweet! previous closing was 2.21. if can break this then will set a new high

@dragon328 Thanks for update

@stkoay haha.. no wonder your user ID so familiar. now you just confirmed my guess too. I used to also visit Genting forum back when i also invested in it. since i sold off all shareholdings in GenT and GenM and made a small profit, I am much happier investing in Harimau. My ex-banker brother who used to work in SG also advised me to invest in safe haven stocks like Banks especially Harimau being the largest and biggest bank by cap size. he told me no way Harimau will bankrupt. if that day happens, everyone in Malaysia will also Harakiri. he also said stocks like GenT and GenM are speculative stocks which I also agreed seeing the price yo-yo up and down. so far i am at peace with Harimau and dont bother to monitor daily now. so to other Harimau investors, just invest and be confident in your investment, no one should shake your beliefs and confidence too.

RE to benefit from budget 2024

Nice change to see a lot more info today instead of insults flying here and there for a change. Thank you all

Sigh.... I have to shift through the sheet load of unrelated noise everyday just to read only useful info posting from dragon328

Does not matter. both industry also good at the moment. Banking and RE. enjoying high returns both above 7% now is all that matters. no one can foresee the future, maybe in future RE take over by some other self renewable energy technology, maybe traditional banking services like OTC may be obsolete in future, who knows? we can only predict the now and invest in the now. no right no wrong. no need for worry if one is confident in investing for own future.

@stockraider what about YTLPower @ 8.96%? :-p

I agree that Harimau is a good investment at the moment based on the price 8.77.

@smartly haha spot on. that's why I don't pity any day traders. make a small profit shout up and down. lose a bit start panicking and talking down the stock to average down. I've been following the stock market for selected stocks very closely for past 2.5 years and also attended webinars by my broker's analyst in understanding trends. while I would say my knowledge is only beginner level in understanding charts and trends, I sometimes laugh at the way some trolls here clairvoyance with unrealistic prices without taking into account the following: 1) speculative nature of KLSE; 2) the real intentions of stock brokers when predicting target prices (even my remisier cautioned that he doesn't even trust his brokers report 100% and to take with pinch of salt); 3) separating the white noise versus facts; and lastly the most annoying of all 4) trolls appearing out of nowhere with their infinite wisdom. we all join a forum to make money together, to beat the big sharks not to beat down one another. no money to be made making each other look like fools. remember - 'eyes on the prize' at all times. peace

The point is.. stop feeding the trolls. Let them shout until the cows come home. Sticks and stones will break bones not words.. we are not tau foo so why worry what others say? Quietly make your fortune. You all think Lim Goh Tong shout to everyone that hr may have landed a gold mine when gotten approval for Genting? Make your fortune and laugh quietly on those who speak rubbish

If anyone really interested to make money in KLSE, you need to be patient and be in the long game. Short game will only result in you losing your investment. And that's the truth

Only useful contribution is from Dragon and perhaps 1 or 2 others.

Yeah I totally agree. Suddenly everyone's a wise guy with infinite wisdom. So easy to make money in KLSE meh? Like that many rich traders already lo. Not to mention suddenly so many kids trading insults at each other like it will help anyone who's really serious to make money. Wish they would all go back to their glove stock forum or whatever forum there and share some joy there instead.

actually, anything below 8.83 can consider. so 8.77 is considered a bargain now. unfortunately my funds tied up elsewhere atm.

Hopefully it can close above 2.02, otherwise GG. From the charts, the MACD line is dipping faster than the RSI line both for weekly and monthly moving average. looks like downward pressure will continue over the next few days from what the pattern shows

FFS enough with the one 'upsmanship'. stop quarreling like smurfs in cyberspace. makes one look like keyboard warriors only. no prize for guessing right so why bother? just accept that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. at the end of the day, the real winner is who makes money quietly. I am enjoying paper gain of 201% and quietly enjoying without any worries whether it fluctuates up or down daily. I already mentioned that the holding level is 2.02. if it breaches this level then maybe worry a little if you bought near this level otherwise sit back and enjoy the ride. already reminded before not to be greedy and catch any falling knives. KLSE are speculative in general unlike other stock markets so players / day traders are aplenty and unlike other mature and stable markets. so chill brothers. we are all here to make money together and share ideas, not pander to trolls.

Haha, reading all the troll comments really laugh die me. Steady investors here not affected at all by all negative comments. Enjoying the ride and waiting for the next wave up. Thing to remember is what you know for sure and for what you don't, just becareful - once again, remember tomorrow window dressing day affecting some counters in KLSE ya. Contrary to what Mr Gecko said, Greed is not always good.

Just a friendly reminder window dressing is this FRIDAY, 15 Sept. Price will most likely have high volatility on that day and a sharp correction come MONDAY 18 Sept. Will it happen to YTLP, not sure but given it is a popular stock at the moment, opportunity to trap bilis is surely tempting. Don't say you were not warned.

Wah... 9.20 ... go go Harimau... really crouching tiger lah....

@dragon328 I understand now, thank you. Yes, that's the name put warrant. on this note, I saw YTLP also issue Bonus Issues over the years.. e.g. 2008, 2014, 2017. In your opinion, what are the likely hood they will do so again (if ever)?

@dragon328 thanks for the explanation. getting a better understanding of how these warrants work. one question, does warrant always rise in tandem with mother share? I was made to understand that there might be another type of warrant which the opposite is true.

Next Friday, expect another huge swing in stock prices for some stocks as it is the date for the next window dressing date.

sudah la... waste my time engaging with people like you and that other angry fella. both dont want to read up but both keep asking people to shut up and keep insulting people. reflection of poor upbringing by parents or had a bad childhood. enough, it ends here.

@Kicapmanis, last DRIP in 19 Sept 2022 was offered at RM8.38 when dividend was RM0.28. Share price trading on that date was RM8.73 if not mistaken.

@stkoay Bro,can confirm this? On another note am happy to see Harimau finally stable and broken free above the RM9.00 barrier
