Tarrance bro...lets not get panic too soon and not so fast past judgement. There could be many possibilities kendall is selling out. It could be the entrance of anither tech player or another high profile indovidual or corporation. Also it could be left hand to right hand vuy unlikely cos at 80sen. And it could be passing to strategic investors who wants yo gpreng ot and amake a quick buck...so there are many possibilities...just wait out and see. If u are not conforttable then just sell and enter later.
Just read an article, it says the tech play could be larger than the pandemic play. Lets hope so. Cheers
Kendall n Summit have relinquished their shares n ceased to b substantial shareholders of GPacket! Are they d woes of d share price turbulence GPacket is encountering lately? What will b d aftermath for GPacket after loosing their participations?
Kendall may have faced the earlier customers redemptions due to the pandemic situations like other private equity funds which have to sell off some of their longer term investments earlier. Anyway if people were willing to pay 0.80 for 60m shares yesterday and others were also paying 0.80 on another 100 m gpacket shares -all these should be considered a good thing as they must have strong confidence on what gpacket is doing and have seen the great potentials from the areas like AI, IOT,cloud computing and the potential of digital banking. Those who want to invest in gpacket have to be patient with this turn around company. When Microsoft started involving in the cloud computing, 5 years ago its price was only around 40 plus and now its near 200 (even though Microsoft is not depending 100 % on cloud computing but certainly cloud computing is contributing significantly to its share price movement ). So patient is important.
Onionchong, thank God you stop loss. Good play. No heart feeling. You win some, you lose some. Move on and I sincerely hope you can make more winnings in other counters to make up for your loss. Good luck to you. May God bless you always.
Dun need to be too optimistic or pessimistic. If one expect quick gain, should go invest or punt in glove counters. Those can guve u instant 30% gain, or loss in a day. Probably that is more interesting.
GP is too slow for some and its still making losses. So itsbhars to convince for some

Gpacket has presence/business in banking area, school, digital... tencent....cloud computung...hospital .....ewallet.....
The CEO has been busy collecting and accumulating Gpacket... At each dip, collect more.... That why you hardly see Gpacket high high.. We retailer also follow the example, collect now...
One day Gpacket will be like mini Microsoft.... Think about that !
Green Packet’s group managing director and chief executive officer Puan Chan Cheong (pic) is the company’s biggest shareholder, with a direct stake of 10.22% as at June 12. He also holds an indirect stake of 16.9% via Green Packet Holdings Ltd.
PETALING JAYA: Singapore-based private equity (PE) firm Kendall Court has ceased to be a substantial shareholder of GREEN PACKET BHD, after it disposed of its entire stake in the international telecommunications and technology group.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Green Packet said Kendall Court, via its wholly-owned unit Summit Synergy Ltd, had disposed of 100 million shares or its entire 10.9% stake via a direct business transaction.
The disposal, which took place in a few tranches last Wednesday to Friday at 80 sen a piece, represented a significant premium of close to 16% over the closing price of the Green Packet stock on Friday of 69 sen.
When contacted, Kendall Court founder Chris Chia said the disposal was part of the PE firm’s move to rebalance its portfolio and that it still believed in the Green Packet growth story. He said the PE firm did not rule out investing in Green Packet again in the future.
He declined to reveal to whom the stake was sold off to but added that it was to parties that are likely to contribute to Green Packet’s digital journey.
“We divested due to our own internal processes. We still continue to believe in the growth story of Green Packet and hope to participate in that growth in the near future.”
Kendall Court is an investment firm that manages equity-linked and mezzanine investments across South-East Asia and has deployed and managed over US$600mil in the region. It has invested into the natural resource, healthcare, consumer and telecom industries over the past decade.
The PE firm emerged as a substantial shareholder in Green Packet in September last year, when it acquired 65 million shares in via a direct business deal at a price of 70 sen a share or a 7.1% stake in the company.
In February this year, it bought another 35 million shares in Green Packet, raising its stake to over 10%.
Green Packet’s group managing director and chief executive officer Puan Chan Cheong (pic) is the company’s biggest shareholder, with a direct stake of 10.22% as at June 12. He also holds an indirect stake of 16.9% via Green Packet Holdings Ltd.
Green Packet has been actively growing its business.
Last month, it teamed up with Internet giant Tencent Holdings Ltd to leverage on the latter’s cloud services for the provision of eKYC (electronic know your customer) to businesses in Malaysia, particularly banking and financial institutions.
KiplePay Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Packet, will leverage on Tencent Cloud’s facial recognition and machine learning capabilities to build a localised e-KYC solution through its KipleID e-KYC.
Last week, Green Packet said it is acquiring Singapore-based e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) specialist firm Xendity Pte Ltd. Green Packet took over the company for US$10mil.
With the acquisition, it will enable Green Packet to strengthen its digital identity verification services, a fast-growing sector as more organisations move towards their digital transformation.
This will reinforce Green Packet’s position as the partner for digital financial solutions for various industries in Malaysia including telecommunications and banking.
Green Packet has also announced its intention to apply for a digital bank licence in Malaysia and will likely be part of a consortium that will include the likes of Bank Islam Malaysia and Tencent, both of which it has business relationships with.
they din manage to lure enuf retailers to support, even with lower prices ... likely their trading limit oso has hit some obstacle to resume churning, rolling

Interesting move by the PE firm to disposed below 1 year of holding.
The excuse from the PE firm to rebalance portfolio is definitely false as PE firm will not change its investment stance in a short period of less than 1 year.
Fundamental had not changed.
Probably disagreement between the PE firm and CC Puan on the expansion plan.
This company ah really wtf. Checked their ''fintech'' digitial wallet app. IT IS SHIT. Bugs, unheard of merchants, crashes, bad UI. For a company that has been burning cash and heavily invested in digital fintechs, this is pure dissappointment. Even apps like BIGPAY from AirAsia and Boost are SOOO much more reliable than this piece of junk. Check thier financial statements and apps if you dont believe. Kendall smart to run lmao puan is just buying back shares to prop up the demand, hoping for us ikan bilis to follow and then he''l just sell his shares the moment it goes up.
newbie8080 dont kid and lie to yourself you are probably just hoping the stock goes up to your entry point. How the hell do you know they have disagreements or rebalancing their portfolio? oh wait ''probably''
