Calvin, how to become Taiko? There are so many bank backed securities around.

Thks! bclim_83.

@novice77, all the investors who purchased in the last 4 years are losing money. Company results are good. PE is in single digit and below 5 for half the 4 year period.

Another dividend will be announced next month. It may be 6 sen per share if they follow the last year rate.

For the last 12 months, directors, Share Buy Back and Tabung Haji have been buying KSL shares aggressively. When one bought, the other two would temporary stop. They did not compete with each other to buy. Look like it was coordinated.

Basically the cash in hand of RM254mil (as at 31/12/17) has been used up for the land purchase. No more money for dividends payment. However, the directors' remunerations and bonuses are not affected.

The company is undervalued. The best investment is buying more and more shares.

Since Southern Acids also owns a substantial amount of shares in Paramount, Southern Acids should joint venture with Paramount to develop part of the land. In this way, Southern Acids can unlock the value of the land faster and gains experience in development.

Nemesis, any good news?

For shareholders, the returns of their investments are the dividends received and the increase in share prices. For KSL case, no dividends received and the share price dropped to the lowest in the last 5 years. All the minority shareholders are in fact losing money.

@sowsc1987 and onward, did Tan Sri said why the profit from palm oil section has dropped so much for the last two quarters?

I went to Vancouver and stayed in Trump Hotel last year. I felt obligated to support our owned hotel. It was a very nice hotel in the CBD and It is adjoining the other TAGB property, Fortis Building. The city is very vibrant with a lot of Hong Kong and Mainland Chinese migrants. It was a very good experience to stay there.

Price has come down due to the unconfirmed allegations. Just feel that nothing against the laws could have happened between Ivanka and JK? Ivanka's company was just doing ID work and manage the hotel for TAGB. When thing clears up, TA and TAGB will return to its original levels.

KSL is equally good if not better counter than Paramount. If KSL keeps its promise to pay out 40% of its earnings as dividends, it will have the same performance as Paramount.

Paramount share price has moved up steadily from RM1.30 in June 2016 to RM2.07 yesterday. It is very much helped by its dividend payment policy and the declared 7.5sen special dividend.

Jeffrey Chew is a professional CEO. Every transaction and business deal is taken after proper calculation and deep consideration. His dividend policy and declaration of special dividend help to underpin the share price.

@Jon Choivo, how long have you been invested in KSL? I believe it is quite recent. I am pity for those who have invested 3 years and longer. The company is making a lot of profits but the minority investors are not enjoying the benefits. The investors may probably want to divest due to whatever reasons but find that they are making losses after investing into KSL for a long time.

Will Tabung Haji send any representative to attend the AGM? They are not represented in the board. They are "Sleeping".

Thks, kudamuda.

For the shareholders, both major and minorities, we look at the share price and dividends received as the indicators of the performance of our investment. As the share price is at the all time low and no dividend is received, we don't think that the directors should entitle to such a high remunerations.

Extract from 2016 Annual Report for FYE 31/12/2016

Summary of Remuneration Packages of the 4 executive directors.

Salaries --------------RM16,729,000
Allowances --------- RM 180,000
Bonuses ------------ RM13,241,000

Total ----------------- RM30,150,000


Number of executive directors with different remuneration bands

RM 300,001 to RM 350,000 ------------- 1 person
RM 9,500,001 to RM 10,000,000 ------ 2 persons
RM 10,000,001 to RM 10,200,000 -----1 person

The total shareholdings of the executive directors are about 558,995,426 shares

The total amount received by the directors are RM30,150,000 / 558,995,426 shares

= 5.4sen/share.

To the executive directors, they received about 5.4sen remuneration and the shareholders 0 sen dividend.

This company is run like a private company. Directors are paid millions of directors' remunerations but minority shareholders do not receive any dividends. Instead of paying dividends to the minority shareholders, add that into the directors' remunerations package. Sapu all.

Tiah has purchased a lot of shares. Keep buying everyday.

limch, I don't see any announcement that Trop is buying land near to Genting Highlands.

Hopefully will announce some dividend tomorrow.

Now drop to 39.4 Sen.

RM0.355 (current price) + RM0.049 (all dividends received) = RM0.404

Invest 50 Sen, get 40.4 Sen.

Still lose money after nine years holding. Better put in FD.

Although the interest rates has started to rise last month, It is still low and suitable for the anticipated listing of TA Reit in this year. After this year, the environment especially the higher interest rates will make the REIT listing less feasible.

Hope that Tan Sri Lim Wee Chai is able to add values to Tropicana.

Tan Sri Vincent Tan is in 26th position.

Tan Sri Lim Wee Chai is 18th richest in Malaysia.

Paramount may declare special dividend in the coming quarterly results announcement.

Property counters have been down for 3 years. I think it is about time to reverse the trend.

KSL Hotel gives you more values for the money that you pay. You get good comfortable room, friendly staff and good breakfast from the room rate that you pay. That is what you need from a hotel.

Any of you have news on this project? Any earthwork or other physical work?

Guocoland sold part of its land, abt 640ha in Sepang to Putrajaya Holdings. PJH planned to develope the land into an eco-type resort along the beach.

According to The Star, the first phase of the development will be a 27-hole Eco Link Golf Course supported by a number of three-to five-star hotels. After that, PJH will build commercial, residential, retail and wellness centre in the city.

The first phase of the project will take off in the third quarter of 2018.

Yes, BAT is in Wisma Guocoland.

Went to Damansara City last week. Hotel Sofitel is opened. Hong Leong Bank is occupying all the space of one tower. Guocoland is occupying part of the other smaller building. More than 65% of DC Mall has been occupied

The next catalyst will be Sungai Long project.

@greatinvestor,
There are two sections in the ongoing reclamation. The island section and the seaside section. The island section is owned by E&O. The seaside section will be owned by Penang government. Therefore, the island reclamation is more important to us. Has the reclamation for island section completed? It was already at advanced stage a few months ago. I know that the seaside section has a long way to go.

If he wants to set up REIT, better do it before the interest regime rises. Interest will start to rise as early as this or next month.

TA is investing and trading in other bourses. With the world stock market keep rising, I think TA should be doing well.

Market may be slower now but there are still quite a lot of genuine buyers in Cyberjaya who are buying units for their own occupations. As you know, the incomes of those IT workers are very high and they would want cosy homes to balance up with their dull IT works.

he Cyberjaya land is the best residential land you can find in whole Cyberjaya. It is even more beautiful and valuable than Paramount's existing development, Sejati Residences. The new land is overlooking a 40 acre man made lake and it is the only development with such a big and beautiful man made lake.

Look at long term. Price should go up over a period of one year.
