Dr Mahathir Mohamad has hinted that his associates are being targeted by the Inland Revenue Board (IRB).
During his tenure as prime minister, Mahathir had the unfailing support of a long list of millionaires and billionaires, whom critics referred to as his cronies, and never missed an opportunity to point out how these individuals had benefited from government contracts.
Speaking at a ceramah in Selayang last night, Mahathir, who is now chairperson of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), claimed that donors to Pakatan Harapan parties are in the IRB's crosshairs.
"To ensure that they win the elections, they are now preventing all sorts of donations and financing for opposition parties.
"Even if it is RM40,000, they will ask 'what is this for?'. If they disclose that this is for Harapan, then they will be investigated and harassed by the IRB," he said.
traderdragon, correct.... so far, kena ones are country heights, magnum, mk land (latest). Watch out for sport toto. All their bosses are close buddies of M...
Yoon, may be better wait till price is stabilized as it can go lower and u may catch a falling knife. RM468m tax contingency liability is no joke. But for u to sell and cut loss now is also tough. I sold mine yesterday. But dare out buy back due to this tax issue, their lower profit trend and damaging 4D black market. Look at the arrest of senior police officers in Melaka involved in this alleged thing. How about other states??
BN_menang.... if government is so good... dont use tax money collected from gaming stocks.... there are not only Magnum in market... go take action against GENTING... which contribute more profit and tax to BN... especially in the state of Pahang... not sure which PM from Pahang parliment seat....just think about it....
Tax audit IRB will be a hard fight case and will take time to settle unless both side take the middle ground and settle out of court. The cost to be incurred such as legal fee & tax consultant fee will eat up into the financial performance too and still the company is not assured of winning the case. The result for FY2017 is not going to be good
In this aspect, M'sia is very similar to china. If you don't want unnecessary harassment, you need to lick someone's ball in the gov, not everyone only certain key ppl, then others'll close in requesting their balls also need polish. ... then ... things chg after 20 yrs, ... there you go again, vicious cycle.
can appeal, sure ! But , don't forget that Uncle wants to "whack" you. You think got use even if you appeal ?? "Tauhu cannot knock against Batu" ... betul betul cakap !
On 19 May 2017, Magnum released Q1 2017 quarter result. It's revenue yoy decrease 7.89% from RM 752 million to RM 697 million , net profit yoy decrease 56% from RM 68 million to RM 30 million. Net Profit Margin is also decreasing from year 2014. Q1 is normally the peak quarter as there is Chinese New Year. This is the first quarter Magnum not giving out any dividend since Q1 2013.
In addition, Magnum got a notice of assessment for Year of Assessment 2008, and from 2011 to 2015 for income tax, with penalty of RM 22.71 million, while MHSB got a notice of assessment from 2008 to 2013, amounting to RM 453.75 million. The total is RM 476.46 million which is equal to RM 0.33 per share. For Year 2016, Magnum's EPS is RM 0.1341. Based on FY 2016, the assessment will cost more than 2 years of Magnum's net profit.
Magnum seems like a dividend stock but it's dividend cannot even cover the capital loss. Based on 15 P/E ratio(estimate), Magnum should be at RM 1.63. If Magnum is giving out 8 sens (estimate) in FY 2017, based on RM 1.63(estimate), the dividend yield is around 4.9%.
Theoretically it should drop no more than RM 0.33 & the price should go no lower than RM 1.77 which is very near to the present price. Having said that one must be prepared for a possible 3 year no dividend hiatus.
Any idea about magnum's plan to dispose their entire 7% stake in U mobile. Because during last year AGM, the board made known to everyone that they decided not to keep the stake but will dispose it upon IPO. Also it was mentioned the entire 7% stake is worth RM250mil but probably is higher now because of the additional spectrum allocated by the govt.
Not sure whether during this year AGM on Friday 26th May , perhaps a clearer picture on the proceeds from the sales of share be utilse. Because in early May, T Edge weekly reported the IPO for U mobile is sooner than expected which will be 2018
offline donation RM200mil... IRB case settle... share price rebound in open market... grab legal money from share market... helping the someone....watch out

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....
