Problems always with GLC though they can give more div but those Chinese investors don't make the price high. In bursa, they are many Chinese investors prefer those managed by Chinese company. You compare Maybank and Public Bank/ Hong Leong Bank can see the difference. So we can room to pick those stock with high div from GLC easily. Ha.Ha!
Crony, politically-connected or whatever, must always remember our main goal: to try make money from the market. Don't know how low Media Prima might go but the dividends have been okay enough. In depressed market conditions, getting dividends is something comforting.
EPF's remiesiers or fund managers are the one dispose it. Sometimes, you can see funny things happening like this case. I doubt the other fund managers buy cheap from EPF at this price. All these funds cooperate to make money for themselves at the expense of EPF members/contributors.
2016 adex expected to improve Overall, 2015 total gross adex has been weak with the implementation of 6% GST, lower oil prices and weaker MYR hindering any potential adex growth YoY. That said, we expect 2016 total gross adex to exhibit positive adex growth YoY as we enter the new year from a low base. Adex sentiment is also expected to improve with major sporting events (Summer Olympics and UEFA Euro Cup) scheduled to take place in mid- 2016. Our 2016 total gross adex forecast of 5% YoY is based on 1.1x real GDP growth. We remain NEUTRAL on the sector with BUYs on Media Prima (MPR MK; TP: MYR1.53) and Media Chinese International (MCIL MK; TP: MYR0.73) on undemanding valuations of ~10x CY16 PER and ~1x CY16 P/BV. Dividend yields are also attractive at ~6%. http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kltrader/90181.jsp

Media Prima DY base on i3 info is 7.81%. Since EPF last transaction is a sell can EPF declare higher than 7.81% for 2015 dividend? Why they dump this "establish" company in favour of less establish one like JAKS, SKP, etc? http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/fin/4502.jsp
