“ Since its inception, SACOFA has built and acquired more than 1,800 telecommunication towers throughout the state of Sarawak to cater to the network expansion needs of cellular operators and other organizations.
To help new operators roll out their wireless networks in Sarawak, we offer our completed towers to share among networks with our streamlined process. Our charging principle is based on a non-discriminatory and fair basis. “
“ SACOFA SDN BHD (552905-P) is the leading telecommunication infrastructure provider in Sarawak.
SACOFA’s primary objective is to promote common sharing of telecommunications infrastructure amongst operators, enabling speedy and cost effective service roll-out throughout Sarawak.
TYPE OF STRUCTURES OFFERED BY SACOFA Rapole (Ranging From 12m to 30m) Lamp pole structure (24m) Monopole (ranging from 24m to 45m) Monopole Tree (ranging from 36m to 45m) 3 legged Tower (ranging from 45m to 120m) 4 legged Tower (ranging from 45m to 120m) Rooftop
Sacofa shareholders: CAHYA MATA SARAWAK BERHAD ( 50.00% ) STATE FINANCIAL SECRETARY ( 20.51% ) CELCOM AXIATA BERHAD ( 15.12% ) SARAWAK INFORMATION SYSTEMS SDN BHD ( 7.57% ) YAYASAN SARAWAK ( 6.80% )
STATE FINANCIAL SECRETARY State Financial Secretary’s Office is the State Financial Authority under Financial Procedure Act, 1957 and responsible for financial management in Sarawak. State Financial Secretary’s Office is also a body corporate established on 2nd January 1948 under State Financial Secretary (Incorporation) Ordinance (Cap. 103). The appointment of State Financial Secretary’s Office is subject to Article 11 of the Sarawak State constitution.
SARAWAK INFORMATION SYSTEMS SDN BHD In the mid 1980's the use of IT among state government agencies in Sarawak started to grow. Shortly thereafter, in 1991, SAINS, then called Sarawak Computerisation Services Sdn. Bhd. was formed. SAINS was given the task of spearheading the development and implementation of IT within the Sarawak State Government to better integrate and utilize its resources.
AR 2020 Sacofa, the major telecommunications infrastructure provider in Sarawak responsible for over 90% of mobile traffic in the State, Sacofa was deemed an essential services provider and was able to continue running its operations unhampered throughout the initial MCO period.
Both OM Materials (OMM) and Sacofa are not listed entities. Therefore, their operations performance will only be revealed in the Annual Audited Accounts.
Cement division bottom line is catching up and may surpass year 2019. JV SEDC & PPES remains profitable after disposing 2% stakes and reclassified as JV.
What really interesting is profit generated from OMM & Sacofa surged to 46m in 6 months performance. We will see a record breaking profit in future when Jendela project kicks off and high profit contributed from OMM as FeSi prices rally.
Profit contributed by Sacofa is rather stable, about 42m per year ,in the past few years. With the assumption of Safico generated average 21m for the 1st half 2021, the remaining 25m is reasonably expected deriving from OM Materials, 75% owned by OMH.
OMH’s smelting segment (mostly derived from OMM operations ) has reported PBT AUS 40.5 million for the 1st half 2021. After deducting CIT 24% and translating into RM, we would arrive Associate (OMM) contribution RM 23.8m which is rather close to the above calculations of RM 25m.
On the surface, CMSB doesn’t seen sharing much profit from OMM for merely holding 25% stakes. You would be surprised to know the results of comparison between OMH and OMM contribution to CMSB. OMH has reported AUS 17.4 million ( RM 54 million ) PAT attributed to the owner of company whereas CMSB shared PAT RM 25 million from OMM. It’s almost half of OMH entire profit.
What’s your take on CMSB? Besides OMM, they owned cements business, 50% Sacofa, Associate KKB & KENAGA, JV construction business with Sarawak government.
At this price and Sarawak election is near the corner Further KPMG investigation report will be out soon Anticipating this counter will fly to above Rm2.00 with the improvement results What to wait now Durian is going to fall soon Put our fingers crossed
Charlie. People will be rushing to join the boat tomorrow. I haven't loaded enough tickets due to lacking understanding of CMSB businesses. Worried of KPMG report. Ha ha.
I think Those bad news already discounted from Day 1 which was already out and drop till 1.04 before moving up Kpmg is to tighten up the loop hole for future control purposes
Yeah. KPMG investigation is targeting to the system of control and risk management within the group.

Please get your fact right. CFO is fired by the board of director through non renewal of the contract. There is a lot of difference between resign and fire.
Legal investigations, an investigation is very simply the gathering together of facts to form a cohesive and logical picture of a given situation. Legal investigation is such a gathering together of facts in a situation which will be tried in a court of law. Because of this, there are exacting requirements, called rules of evidence, which must be met in order for the evidence gathered in the course of such an investigation to be admissible for the judge and jury to see and hear.
See who will be charged in the court.... CFO, CIO...
" WWe referto the Company's announcements on 5 May 2021, 3 June 2021, 8 June 2021 and 2 August 2021 on the suspension of Mr Syed Hizam Alsagoff, the Group Chief Financial Officer of the Company and appointment of KPMG Management & Risk Consulting Sdn Bhd ("KPMG MRC") as the independent consultant to review the financial management of certain investment and contracts. Whilst KPMG MRC has completed its reports, the legal investigations of the said investments and contracts are still ongoing. The Company expects the complete results of the review to be announced by the end of October 2021.
Noting that the contract of Mr Syed Hizam Alsagoff as the Group Chief Financial Officer of the Company ends tomorrow (31 August 2021), the Board has today decided for the Company's General Manager, Group Finance, Madam Tan Mei Fung to continue as Head of Finance pending the recruitment of a new Group Chief Financial Officer.
Why pretending? What Group MD resign la... He is forced to retire early . Haha
Get someone to read the announcement for you to make a proper decision.
Dato Isaac Lugun retired as Group Managing Director ("GMD") of the Company on 8 July 2021. As part of the transition plan for the GMD, he remained as a Non-Executive Director until 7 August 2021.
We don't know what is the strategy of EPF and why they disposed CMSB. You said EPF disposal means a company going to have big problems soon. With the same reckoning, EPF has ceased to be TAAN substantial shareholder... Is it TAAN going to have big problems soon?
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....
