Yes....previously when told "operator run liao"....I bought because I bet they were accumulating....now, I am suspecting that they are unloading....be careful ya if trading for short term.....
Latest update from ma h countries is that omicron is nothing worse than common flu….all the scare mongering has a purpose for some. I had it and I am old, (70) few days of body ache and head ache…..and tiredness….that’s it in my case ….so I am afraid there is lot of misinformation …
Still convinced opportunities will come if there is further correction, Malaysian equities lagging behind many countries …..are relatively cheap..despite headless leadership with regards to the economy and marketing of Malaysia

Omicron may spell pandemic’s end, predicts medical expert from Thailand THAILAND Saturday, 08 Jan 2022

BANGKOK, Jan 8 (The Nation Thailand/ANN): The Omicron variant may be an indication that the Covid-19 pandemic will come to an end within this year, a respiratory expert with Bangkok’s Vichaiyut Hospital has predicted.
In a Facebook post, Dr Manoon Leechawengongs pointed out that the Omicron variant has mutated significantly from the original coronavirus and its impact is far milder.
“Omicron is proof of a virus’ nature, in that it adapts itself by producing milder symptoms so it does not kill the host and can live inside them for as long as it can,” he said.
“Sooner or later, most people will be infected with the Omicron variant regardless of their ethnicity, sex or age.
“Dr Wasan [Chantrathit, chief of Ramathibodi Hospital’s Centre for Medical Genomics] and I agree that as more people get vaccinated against Covid-19, we will achieve herd immunity against the virus, causing the pandemic to come to an end this year,” Manoon said.
“Thanks to Omicron, Covid-19 will eventually become an endemic infection, with young children getting it every year.”
An endemic infection is one that is constantly present to a greater or lesser degree in people of a certain class or living in a particular location.
“Since Omicron produces milder symptoms than the Delta variant, vaccinated people who get it will mostly suffer from symptoms that are no different than a common cold,” he added.
“However, I strongly advise those in risky groups, such as seniors, pregnant women and people with underlying health problems to get vaccinated as soon as they can. If you have already had two shots, get a booster before most people in the country are infected by the Omicron variant in the next month or two.”
The World Health Organisation (WHO), however, on Thursday warned against categorising the Omicron variant as mild, saying it was killing people across the planet.
“While Omicron does appear to be less severe compared to Delta, especially in those vaccinated, it does not mean it should be categorised as mild,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was quoted as saying by AFP. - The Nation Thailand/ANN
A researcher in Cyprus has discovered a strain of the coronavirus that combines the delta and omicron variant, Bloomberg News reported on Saturday.
Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus, called the strain “deltacron,” because of its omicron-like genetic signatures within the delta genomes, Bloomberg said.
So far, Kostrikis and his team have found 25 cases of the virus, according to the report. It’s still too early to tell whether there are more cases of the strain or what impacts it could have.
UK COVID-19 death toll exceeds 150,000 after Omicron surge
LONDON, Jan 8 (Reuters) - The United Kingdom's official death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic rose above 150,000 on Saturday, government figures showed, following a record wave of cases caused by the Omicron variant.
Some 313 deaths within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test were reported on Saturday, taking the total number of fatalities on this measure to 150,057.
U.K. no action being taken no curfew or anything….watch BBC don’t spread wrong Information, Hospitals in U.K. are normally full this time of the year owing to flu when excess deaths take place …normally 40,000 people,die during Jan to March …..check out the facts so excess deaths due omicron is very insignificant. This is a fact
No need to lock down and certainly far more harmful to do so….at last we are seeing common sense prevail…we need to learn to live with the virus …Like we do with other inflictions!
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....
