Hng33, too deep into puncak to change strategy now,sigh!

hng33, well, should know in 2 weeks time if a deal will be sealed and completed given that its almost 3 weeks since state and federal signed the supplementary agreement

hng33, yes, just wonder, I would assume M is behind the sacked M.

fainted, is Najib running out of option to gather support?!? It would be a big joke if federal decides not to honor the supplementary agreement, but anything can happen in this Boleh Land... Hope the deal goes through though

PUTRAJAYA (July 28): Reporters and television (TV) crew from The Edge Media Group, The Malaysian Insider (TMI) and Malaysiakini were barred from covering the announcement on the Cabinet reshuffle here this afternoon.

At least seven reporters and TV crew were told by policemen on duty that they were given instructions not to issue passes to the three media groups to enter the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) where a press conference chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on the Cabinet reshuffle is being held.

One policeman stalled The Edge reporters at the pass collection counter, stating that he needed further instructions from his senior officers. This is despite having showed valid media passes issued by the Information Ministry and noting that the write-ups are for theedgemarkets.com.

The Home Ministry had last Friday suspended The Edge Weekly's and The Edge Financial Daily's publishing permit for three months from July 27 because of their reporting on 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).

The two Malaysiakini reporters and TV crew were also not allowed entry at about 1.30pm, even as other reporters from the mainstream media were given passes.

Malaysiakini and TMI also have valid media passes issued by the Information Ministry.

It is understood that the refusal to allow The Edge coverage at PMO started after the recent suspension on both its weekly and daily publications.

Earlier at the press conference, Najib announced that Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is the new deputy prime minister and will also retain his current portfolio as home minister.

Najib also announced the removal of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as his deputy, calling it a "difficult decision" but one he had to make to ensure that the Cabinet operated as a collective unit.

Najib added that the Cabinet reshuffle was done after taking into account political considerations and the needs of his administration to ensure that it remained focused on implementing Malaysia's development.

alas, nothing can be done now except for waiting for more clues from Azmin and Ongkili, dumbass politicians!

hng33, what's your portfolio stocks and stocks of interest? Seems like you have some that I also carry besides Puncak. I also own some BJCorp & MNRB (sold mostly to buy Puncak) and ORIENTAL, Interested in Media, Parkson, Kulim, Airasia, Padini, MMCCorp, MPHB, BJTOTO, CIMB, Insas - no decision and no money to invest anymore, haha...

tired watching puncak share price yo-yoing for so long, hope Stupid Azmin just speed up things lah!

hng33, didn't realize you are also into MNRB...

hng33, didn't realize you are also buying mnrb

Is Najib's days numbered?!?

童贵旺发表文告说，新加坡《海峡时报》刊登的祖斯多访问也证实他并没付钱，以购买这些机密资料。

他强调，这是要“诓骗”（misled）祖斯多，以取得机密资料，踢爆一马公司案。

“是的，我们诓骗他。但这是取得证据的唯一途径，以踢爆一小撮马来西亚人与外国人，如何欺骗马来西亚人民的18亿3000万美元（约69亿7000万令吉）。”

“他的访谈言论，也证实我们之前所说，即我们从未付钱给任何人。”

否认篡改文件倒政府

童贵旺指出，祖斯多在《海峡时报》的访谈文章中显得十分愤怒，但这可以理解，因为他并没按照祖斯多的要求付钱。

针对祖斯多指责他取文件的目的是要推翻政府，童贵旺也“四两拨千斤”地否认。

“肯定的，如果我们有这个企图，我们不会告诉一个初次见面的人。更何况，我们知道他一定会不满我们，因为我们本就打算不会付钱给他。”

童贵旺也否认The Edge媒体集团篡改文件。

“没有篡改，我们马上在含有40万封电邮与文件的硬碟，采用数字指纹加密。”

“我们本周交给国家银行、警方与反贪会的光碟，正是祖斯多交给我们的同一个副本。而祖斯多也已说明，他并未篡改文件。”

“这是18亿美元骗局”

童贵旺指出，The Edge集团根据文件整理出来的资金流，显示一马公司的资金如何流向不同人在数个国家的银行账户。

他说，The Edge集团已把这些资料交给调查单位，而我国当局可轻易向其他国家的调查单位确认真伪。

“可以理解，祖斯多怨恨不平，但这起事件无关祖斯多，也跟我们无关。这是通过一马公司与沙地石油联营计划，以骗取马来西亚人民18亿3000万美元的骗局。”

童贵旺表示，随着一马公司如今面对多个政府机构调查，再加上一马公司濒临破产，亟需拯救，印证了The Edge媒体集团一直以来的报道与揭露。

“我们没有做错任何事，我们在这里协助调查单位调查，而不像那些似已失踪不见的人那样。”

Edge紧咬一马公司

上月，祖斯多涉嫌勒索前雇主沙地石油公司，在泰国被捕。

其后，马来西亚政府一再宣称，从沙地石油公司泄漏而出的文件资料，曾经人篡改，以陷害首相纳吉与一马公司。

《海峡时报》在泰国扣留所访问了祖斯多，并在今日刊登访问稿。祖斯多在访谈中提到，大马商人献议760万令吉向他买下这些涉嫌从沙地石油国际公司偷窃出去的资料，但对方至今却尚未付钱。

祖斯多表示，他在今年初会晤这些买家，对方商量着如何利用这些文件“推翻马来西亚政府”，同时谈到“篡改文件”的计划。

The Edge媒体集团旗下刊物包括《The Edge财经日报》与《The Edge周刊》。

两份报刊最近几年紧咬一马公司，并揭露多宗一马公司的争议。

本周一，《The Edge财经日报》即踢爆，年轻富豪刘特佐与沙地石油国际公司，通过一马公司诈取逾18亿美元。

My question raises puncak share price? Fainted..

Somebody has to be willing to sell these many shares also before roger can buy leh

Any idea why so many shares change hands @ 2.77? Thanks

roger123, yes, if puncak don't move this year, I will most likely suffer, and that's why I curse Azmin so much...

hng33, your strategy sounds alright. Problem with me is I can get greedy when its supposed to be the time to sell...

haha... I am hoping for at least 3.70 cause I didn't sell at 3.74 last time, nothing about being happy. will see how things go after restructuring completion is announced

hng33, I tried once with puncak call warrant, it went from a profit of over 50% to a loss of 100% having too ambitious on water restructuring... Now, try to avoid any call/put warrants unless I learn how to sell first.

Singor, o o , I c. wonder what's hng33 target right now? Seems like my wish of at least 3.70 is way off right now

Singor, thanks. Why are you expecting only ex-date price of 2.20/2.30? I was kind of hoping that 3.70 is not far from now. Good to know hng33 is back to puncak too.

Singor, where do you learn that Rozali is liquidating China's businesses? Read in announcement Puncak increased investment last year

I have managed to sell Puncak-W and buy similar Puncak shares for the past few days with a RM 0.89 - 0.90 differences per share. Wonder if this is a right move?

well, kenanga lowers TP while RHB increases TP. Had institutional investors bought enough or wanted to unload?

from CIMB:

What We Think
The supplementary agreement to the master agreement for the water
restructuring exercise in Selangor, which was signed in 2014, is positive but
long overdue. It is good news that both sides of the government have sorted out
the land transfer issues but the 60-day allowance for both parties to comply
with the undisclosed condition precedents (CPs) suggests that the impact will
not trickle down to the stalled water deals of Puncak and Gamuda in the near
term. Our channel checks support this view. The state's deteriorating reserve
margin for treated water, which dropped to below 1% as at Jun 15 (from 5%
since 2008), unscheduled water disruptions and risk of non-revenue water
(NRW) rising above the current 32% level could lead to faster revival of
Puncak's RM1.6bn sale and purchase (S&P) deal with the state. We would place
greater conviction in this if Puncak announces that the CPs for the S&P have
been fulfilled, as this would provide clearer timing of the RM1/share special
dividend payout. For now, the earliest window appears to be 4Q15, in our view.

singor, thanks, just particularly upset for having to wait longer...

http://www.theedgemarkets.com/my/article/water-sector-%E2%80%98overweight%E2%80%99-says-kenanga?type=Markets

KUALA LUMPUR (July 13): Kenanga Research has maintained their ‘Overweight’ stance on the water sector, with a recommendation for investors to accumulate shares in Puncak Niaga Bhd ( Financial Dashboard) for their special dividend payment of RM1 per fully diluted (fd) shares.

This follows the signing of the supplemental agreement for the water industry restructuring and consolidation of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya last Friday (July 10), which concludes the negotiations of the Selangor State Government (SSG) with the Federal Government.

“This news certainly reinforces our ‘Overweight’ stance on the Water sector,” Kenanga analyst Iqbal Zainal said in a sector update released today.

He also revised Puncak Niaga’s target price (TP) down to RM3.29, from RM3.99 previously, but said it was still an ‘Outperform’ call with a potential upside of 18%.

Although SPLASH was not mentioned in the SSG’s media statement, it was believed the SSG would negotiate with Gamuda and Sweet Water Alliance, SPLASH’s shareholders, after the completion of Puncak Niaga’s SPA to resolve their valuation issues.

Downstream players such as Hiap Teck Venture Bhd ( Financial Dashboard), Engtex Group Bhd ( Financial Dashboard), YLI Holdings Bhd ( Financial Dashboard), George Kent (M) Bhd ( Financial Dashboard), and Jaks Resources Bhd ( Financial Dashboard) are expected to benefit, following the SSG’s announcement that it would focus on improving the water treatment and distribution systems to reduce the Non-Revenue Water (NRW).

Kenaga expected this to benefit pipe makers over the medium-long term, rather than the near term, as they do not foresee the government spending aggressively on replacing water pipes in the near future.

Tired of waiting, just grumbling...

before crude oil price collapsed and Puncak no longer shariah compliant, Puncak was between 3.30 - 3.50 when Azmin delayed the consolidation. Wonder if we can reach this level again given agreement?!? And once restructuring is completed, wonder if Puncak will cross its earlier peak of 3.74 to between 3.80 - 4.20 to reflect its other businesses besides cash hoard of 3.70?!?

hng33, thanks your comments on Kulim, BJCorp and Parkson. Guess Puncak deal will take longer to complete then, its stated within 2 months. Sigh! Thought could be earlier...

Hng33 many thanks.No need sorry leh...

Good, at least thing will be clearer soon

roger, Puncak barely moves over the past 6 months, trading between 2.5x and 3.1x, with the range between 2.60 - 2.80 the most occurrence. On the other hand, over the past 2 weeks, most stocks have fallen (I guess its at least over 80%.) So, in the way, not too bad given only hurdle with Puncak now is a water restructuring completion.

hng33, seeking your opinion on Bjcorp, Kulim, Parkson, and Media? Care to comment?

hng33 yes, puncak can always claim a speedy court settlement is imminent due to a need to serve people water. But Singor seems to suggest Fed is not in a hurry to solve the water issue too, sigh!

Singor, I don't know what to be gain with a lengthy delay of water restructuring (guess that's why I can never be politician.) Our politicians need to learn to COMPROMISE! Umno losses that when they have the majority for too long (getting too bossy), and PKR acted as if they can do anything with people's mandate (they really need to look at and learn from Tsipras). Truth is, they are anything but a form of extremists!

Singor, you sounds like there is no hope in finalizing a solution? Truth is, has the land issue be so critical to the Selangor Sultan, Khalid won't be allowed to sign the Master Agreement in the first place. Azmin is clearly politicizing land issue lah!

Also, something I don't like about the Ministry of Energy and Water's comment yesterday. There is no comment on how and steps to be taken to address the last hurdle in getting water deal completed or if there is any steps taken to address water shortage. Good luck to us, now even bureaucrats are in blaming game...

jacklintan, no idea, but he did mention he sold Puncak yesterday before closing though

ImCK & chrischan, alas, hng33 has bought and sold Puncak the way he sees fit for quite some time. When he sold yesterday, he did make us known of his trade but we didn't follow or hesitated for too long. His approach, while earning him bigger return, carries additional risk (I believe) as well. I am used to buy and hold for slight longer period (my longest is Citigroup for 7 years already) and not good at trading short term. So, follow him if you find his approach good or learning other approaches that you are comfortable. No need to hantam hng33 lah, he has contributed a lot towards updated news and financial analysis of Puncak.

what I never understand is why can't Azmin just call up Ongkili to verify the status before announcing the news in the public? It's AG that request for state to handover the land rather than Ongkili. A double confirmation from Ongkili would have made matter clearer.

hmm... thought with state and puncak both giving ultimatum, it should be good to finally close the deal?

ckk2266, what an excellent news to start the day! The whole restructuring has been hard to swallow and against common sense of addressing the issue as soon as possible. With the details out, at least we would have to rely on 'insiders' for updates... Or, at least I don't have to keep on calling Azmin stupid

The news is out around 4.10 pm, yet by the closing, Puncak price is at 2.68, up 1 cent. I guess the situation is not as dire to the extent a sale is urgent?

my guess, the request for land is due to insufficient collateral? or, something worse?!?

guess we should hear from Ongkili soon.

hng33, what do you think of BJCorp? I sold mine at .395-.405 when needing funds to add Puncak late last year/early this year. I am thinking to hold 6 months to a year for a potential capital gain but a bit concern about its big villain boss

hng33, seems like the restructuring has only one last hurdle, i.e., the land. And its an old issue that can't be addressed unless either side, state or federal, decides to give in. Guess this is also why I dare not sell after holding for so long, anything is possible in this BOLEH land

attracted to OSK too, but all money tied up with Puncak. Dare not sell, going to feel extremely bad if I were to sell and only to realize deal sealed the next day, sigh!

roger, fainted, never understand your comments and insiders' info, sometimes here sometimes there...

after so many wolves are coming, is this time for real? Any insider news to share?

those greeks are crazy, wonder what would they do if EU decide to provide only humanitarian assistance but not toning down on the debt restructuring or conditions for further assistance. Sigh, crazy Tsipras, yet preferred by so many Greeks!

Singor, how do you know roger has absorbed at least 500k?!? Also, how do you know 'contra' has 609k to sell?!?

wonder what's holding Puncak? Thought its the one benefitting the most out of the water restructuring. Still, when KPS is rising, Puncak barely keeps it Friday's price. Sigh!

Najib stays on, Malaysia sad; Najib resigns, his whole family sad. What would u do if u r him?
