75th anniversary ! May be a special dividend.

Najib was very nervous, as can be seen from his body language.

Land in prime area is in short supply and therefore pricey. Also no one would reclaim land unless it is in or near the prime area.
Weak rm means purchasing land is attractive to foreign investors.

DI conclusion has to be cleared by PM. Azhar playing safe.

Biker, you are right. My mistake.

Last year end of august TH announced interim dividend 10 sens for fy 2016. No announcement of ID this year although it is in position to pay.

TH should have a dividend policy and should be more transparent on issue of payment of dividend. Currently it is on ad hoc basis depending on whims of Mr Tsai.

with crude oil at about usd50 a barrel, is there a future for b5?

I doubt the merger deal is dead.
Logically if there is no deal, then there is nothing on the table for BNM to consider, and they would have announced that accordingly.

Unlikely it will match FY2016 dividend of 30 sens. At best 15 to 20 sens for FY2017.

merging with affin will be a disaster.

speculative counters are not meant to be held long term.

20 year plan !!!
How on earth can plan so far ahead ?

IWC and CREC have now disputed the allegation tha they are unable to come up with the money !!!

Events in the last few years teach us that we must look beneath the surface to understand what actually is happening.

Well said.

brave.

dividend growth is slow but steady.

those who rely on technical analysis are likely to practise GFT.

if i remember correctly dr neoh (dynaquest) is also a shareholder.

in the 21st century, building such a wall amounts to an assault on civilization.

Possible. SOJ is unlikely to hold just 5.7% !!!

The buyer must be a strategic invester with something to contribute. For the time being I do not regard this as negative.

Stale news.

a related problem is abuse of power. I think it is even more widespread.

There is some confusion over dividend. It paid an interim of 10 sens in Dec for FY16. There is no confirmation of a final 10 sens for FY16.

Result disappointing against various earlier positive statements by MD. Reduced dividend is another reason for selling. Feel cheated.

I think so but I may be wrong.

theintinvestor :

According to my recollection, the subsidiary injected a piece of land as its capital contribution to a JV in a property development with other parties. The tax dept probably deems that tax is payable on surplus in valuation of the land at the point of injection over the original cost, even though none of the property development has been sold so far (according to MFCB announcement).
MFCB has not recognised the surplus in value of the land but it will have to do so sometime, more so when it has to pay or provide for the tax.
The surplus should be RM80m or more.

The tax in dispute also implies that there is a profit of RM100m not recognised !

selling of treasury shares should have been treated as red flag.

will there be bonus shares in the spun off companies for sd shareholders?

expect to pay rm3 per litre if crude oil goes up to us$65 per barrel.

That's way to go.

how will the proposed ban of 50cc to 150cc motorbikes entering KL affect HLI?

both.

directors selling dampen sentiments.

China may have most US$, USA can print the money they need. It looks liktely that Trump will a lot of cash to finance his programmes.

price down could be due to china deals. csc is taiwanese.

alibaba was borne here !

dividend can be stated as xyz sens per share and not abc% which must be then related to the par value.

This stock should be evaluated on the basis of full conversion of both War and LA. A special dividend will quicken the conversion process.
On the flip side the enlarge share base will cap share price due to dilution.

king of the contrarians : ttb.

loan stock holdders are beginning to convert loan stock into ordinary shares. some selling pressure on the shares is to be expected.

Singapore is no good friend of China.

this scheme may lead some to bankruptcy.

AllManAreBros: are you a shareholder of Benalec?

Ciakopi, are you a shareholder?

revenue growth in plastic products very small. not indicative of any thing great on the horizon.

Becoming a bank is not just about having adequate capital. It also requires efficient manpower and in this area, MBSB will face a much bigger problem.
