PETALING JAYA: Two companies, Iris Corp Bhd and Dibena/Datasonic Corp are said to be the front-runners for the job to replace the identification pages (ID) on the Malaysian passport from paper to polycarbonate.
The contract value for just the two ID pages is expected to be about RM330mil for a five-year period. Sources claim that over two million passports will be issued over the next five years from the 56 domestic and five overseas centres where the passports are issued.
The party that wins the contract will have to finance the project initially as it can only bill the Government once it has produced the ID pages, according to the sources.
The tender is called to change the ID pages from paper to polycarbonate as there is a need to add more layers of security to make it difficult for the Malaysian passport to be forged.
Polycarbonate is “non-delaminable” and the many layers of materials make the ID documents fused into a single solid card.
Let me tell you all very frankly, there won't be a election coming before November or maybe it will be held in March 2013...why?....the reason is very simple..Najib knows fully well that if election were held now, he will be roasted alive and so delay & delay until cannot delay anymore & that is to hold it at the latest in March 2013 perhaps.
And on top of this there is so much of fighting within UMNO itself mostly between the Najib & Mohideen faction....why because the self claimed Malay though a Mamak DR.M wants to see his son become PM before he kicks the bucket.
I think BIMB still got some strength here, maybe for a month or so, but later it will go into hibernation for a certain period & then rises again just like what happen last year.
Yup ... my calculation will fail when BIMB make new Hi ( breakout from previous Hi at 2.600 + .... if not u know what i mean ^_^ @ http://bit.ly/JKUXyK
Holding TSH, feel great that it bounced back after tumbled to 2.10...now waiting 2.50... if asset portfolio is right, may not want to sell in next 3 years.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
