Tajuddin { Pasir Salak } blame LTAT board buta gaji not helping the plight of ex servicemen. Time for LTAT to be reexamine their policies & mentality. LTAT holds majority in Bstead group of PLC { Bplant, BHIC , Affin , pharma } etc
The 6 LCS multi billion fiasco is being play up again. $6 bil paid but no ship delivered. Don’t know what’s the implication to Bstead holdings who owned BNS ?
BNS is a subsidiary of BHIC, which in turn is 65% owned by Boustead Holdings. The financial impact, if any, will be limited to Boustead's 65% ownership in BHIC.
However, the project will continue. If you read between the lines on what Hishammuddin said, you'll know that the project will continue and the reasons why.
"I have informed the Cabinet and PAC about the timeline to complete the ships.
"What is important now is our journey in the next six months after getting the green light from the Cabinet to continue the project," he told a press conference after opening the Armed Forces polyclinic at Kem Penrissen here on Friday (Aug 5).
On Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's call for phase six of the LCS project to be cancelled, Hishammuddin said it was made for political mileage.
He said cancelling the project would go against the PAC's recommendations as well as the Pakatan Harapan administration's decision to continue it when the coalition was in power.
"If you look at the PAC report and its recommendations, none of them says the project should be cancelled.
"In addition, over 400 vendors are depending on the project to continue, 90% of whom are involved with Armed Forces veterans.
"If (Anwar) wants to help the veterans, cancelling the project is not the way to do it," Hishammuddin said.

Seem like more holes digging. Like that also can ah?
Bos LTAT: Boustead terpaksa guna wang LCS bayar hutang lapuk Diterbitkan: Aug 10, 2022 1:05 PM ⋅ Dikemaskini: 1:05 PM 2 Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) Ahmad Nazim Abdul Rahman berkata Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) terpaksa menggunakan sebahagian daripada dana daripada perolehan kapal tempur pesisir (LCS) untuk membayar hutang lapuk projek lain.
Are you referring the news to the Sinchew news ? I don’t see anything mention about pharmaniaga, plantations, hotels and others ? Have I missed something?
@Johnzhang The following is the abstract from the same page. FYI 沙里夫丁也告诉公账会,如果BNS倒闭,莫实得控股和国防卫队退休基金都会受到严重影响。莫实得的其他业务,园坵、发马、实业、酒店等等都会受到影响。最严重的就是,国防卫队退休基金也可能会蒙受损失高达46%的基金。(会议记录第52页)
startofTheBull, Thanks . Agreed that Bstead holdings and ultimately LTAT will suffer damaging losses if they are finally responsible. The government is thinking of a special purpose vehicle to take over BNS tantamount to relieving Bstead holdings and LTAT of the burden. In the end , the rakyat food the bills.
I am not sure how the LCS fiasco adversely affect Bplant ?
Quote: Sharifuddin further informed the PAC that if BNS is gone, Boustead Holdings and the Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT) will be affected severely. Plantations, Pharmaniaga, Boustead Properties and Boustead Hotels all will be affected. It will go as far as LTAT losing up to 46 percent of the fund size. Unquote.
good reason to be optimistic as valuation hit historical low.hard to lose money if you buy company like boustead with current price and keep for 12 month.my experience la
"After taking into consideration the advice from the legal adviser, the Board of Directors of BNS has resolved and decided to serve the Notice in view of the LOAs are tainted with illegality, fraud, wrongdoing and/or are contrary to public policy and are, accordingly, void."
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....
