KUALA LUMPUR: Cagamas SRP Bhd’s (CSRP) Digital Skim Rumah Pertamaku (Digital SRP) now allows eligible Malaysians to go online to purchase their first home and apply for financing.

This was made possible following the launch of the Digital SRP in collaboration with Didian and MHub, two technology property portals, on Thursday

CSRP chairman, Datuk Bakarudin Ishak said the partnership with Didian and MHub offers an integrated platform which connects home buyers, bankers, developers, and real estate agents.

“We hope Digital SRP will stimulate more than a 50% increase in cumulative SRP loans to RM12.6bil by 2021.


“With these partnerships, CSRP expects a cumulative increase of SRP loans approved by 14,400 in 2020 from a cumulative base of 26,213 in 2019 with a total financing of RMbil, ” he added.


Commenting on the Digital SRP, Bakarudin said this collaboration facilitates three things.

Firstly, it provides new access for prospective first-time house buyers to a wider selection of more than 130,000 properties of which, more than 50% are eligible under SRP, and assistance from nearly 2,000 real estate agents from more than 300 agencies nationwide.

“Secondly, Digital SRP is convenient, time efficient and value enhancing, ” he said.

Prospective buyers can now identify properties eligible under SRP online, check their financing eligibility and apply for loans without having to “walk-in” to the bank.

He pointed out online loan applicants will be contacted by the participating banks for further processing of their application.

“Thirdly and most importantly, CSRP is helping more Malaysians own their first home with this digital initiative, ” he added.

As of June 2020, SRP has benefitted close to 33,000 first time house buyers, of which 90% are from the low-income group, to secure home financing totalling RM6.8bil, since SRP was launched in 2011.

SRP is a government initiative to assist eligible first-time home buyers to obtain up to 110% financing from participating banks, enabling them to own a home without making a down payment.

About 71% of the approved applications were from Selangor, Johor, Kuala Lumpur, Perak and Melaka.

The average loan size was RM206,450 with 86% of the approved applicants being 25 to 40 years of age.

Out of this, 27,600 or 84% of the applications were Islamic financing while the balance 5,400 or 16% were conventional loans.

As of January 2020, Malaysia has close to 26.7 million internet users with a median age of 30.3.

This median age closely corresponds with SRP’s customers who are between 25 and 40 years of age.

Digital SRP is, therefore, expected to enable and facilitate more enquiries and home purchases for internet savvy buyers within this segment.

Housing and Local Government Minister, Zuraida Kamaruddin officiated the launch of the Digital SRP. Also present was Cagamas president/ CEO, Datuk Chung Chee Leong.

Didian director, Chow Nam Kit, said, “Our collaboration with Cagamas to launch the Digital SRP is yet another first for Didian, as we continue to make good on our commitment to our agents and agencies to bring them better opportunities.

“With Digital SRP, our agents will be able to seamlessly apply for SRP on behalf of their customers in just a few clicks. With our exciting upcoming pipeline of projects and more liquidity for buyers through SRP, we are optimistic our agents will have the right tools to help their clients find, purchase, and own their ideal first homes.”

MHub’s CEO, Quek Wee Siong said, “Through this collaboration, MHub aims to help first time home buyers get educated and gain access to the SRP loan scheme by using its intelligent matching platform to pre-qualify these buyers and by channelling their applications to the various banks that offer SRP loans.

"Currently MHub has close to 90,000 homes for sale in this product category with a combined Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA) value of RM27 billion.”

Digital SRP users can also apply for financing by visiting the nearest branch of the participating banks. Currently, there are 25 participating banks nationwide.

SRP is open to first-time house buyers earning RM5,000 and below for single applicants, or RM10,000 and below for joint applicants. They are eligible to purchase a property in either the primary or secondary market with a maximum value of RM500,000.

DELIVERING VALUE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Challenges notwithstanding, the UEM Sunrise group of
companies (the Group) has delivered strong performance,
with revenue up 42% to RM2.9 billion for the financial year
ended 2019 (FY2019) compared to RM2.0 billion in the
financial year ended 2018 (FY2018). The main contributor
to this growth was the completion and settlement of
Aurora Melbourne Central and Conservatory in Melbourne,
Australia. This allowed for full settlement of both
projects’ financing facilities, improving our gross and net
gearing to 0.46x and 0.32x, respectively. Overall sales
remained respectable at RM1.1 billion, and this
was subsequently replenished with new
launches valued at RM1.2 billion in FY2019.
Our inventory monetisation efforts have
also proven to be successful, as we
managed to reduce inventories by 21%
in FY2019 compared to FY2018.
Divestment of non-strategic lands
and assets, as well as land portfolio
rebalancing, remains one of our
key strategies. This strengthens
our balance sheet, enabling us
to effectively deploy our financial
resources in areas most needed,
including embarking on new ventures and opportunities,
local and overseas, since at present, approximately 75% of
our total landbank is in Johor. Moving forward, we will be
expanding the use of digital technology and establishing
strategic partnerships to generate future revenue streams.

Strengthening our position as a top property developer in Malaysia, we placed 5th
at The Edge Property Excellence Awards in 2019, moving from 10th position three
years earlier. Across the dimensions of Value Creation, Product Quality, Image
and Innovation & Creativity, UEM Sunrise ranked in the Top 5 across all property
developers nationwide. We were also acknowledged for our “Highest Growth
in Profit After Tax Over Three Years” at The Edge Billion Ringgit Club Awards in
2019. Throughout the period of assessment, we delivered consistent performance
through ensuring customer satisfaction and effective and efficient operations with
improved cashflows, while future-proofing the business.

In 2019, there were several highlights that will contribute to future business performance:

For our Aurora Melbourne Central development in Australia, we entered into a Contract of
Sale with Scape Australia Management Pty. Ltd. (Scape), the largest asset owner and investor
in the evolving purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sector in Australia. This was
valued at AUD125 million and planned for completion in October 2020.
In the Central region, we unveiled Kiara Bay, UEM Sunrise’s newest integrated mixed
development in Kuala Lumpur adjacent to the Kepong Metropolitan Park, spanning 72.7
acres of land. Its first development component was a two-tower residential block launched
in November 2019, Residensi AVA, with a GDV of RM656 million. Comprising 870 units of
serviced apartments, it presents seven different layouts of 2+1, 3 and 4 bedrooms, ranging
between 813 and 1,285 square feet, and priced from RM528,000. Residensi AVA is targeted at
second-generation Kepong residents and is scheduled for completion in 2024.
In the Southern region, we rebalanced our landbank portfolio by reducing our exposure in
Desaru Coast from 678.7 acres to 228.1 acres, which translates to a reduction of future GDV in
Johor by RM7.6 billion. Concurrently, we increased our involvement in retail development in
Puteri Harbour. We acquired 13 strata parcels together with accessory parcels at Somerset,
a family entertainment centre and a double-storey open-sided pergola for RM145 million
from Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotels Sdn. Bhd. (TAR&H), our joint venture (JV) partner
in Desaru Coast.

Be calm always :)

In addition, we launched new phases in key
development areas such as Serene Heights
in Bangi and Gerbang Nusajaya in Johor.
Despite the prevailing market conditions,
we remain committed to finding the right
opportunities to ensure the sustainability
of our business and will continue to seek
opportunities to replenish our sales funnel.
We also redeemed 123.3 million UEM
Sunrise Redeemable Convertible
Preference Shares (UEMS RCPS) issued
to UEM Group Berhad (UEM Group), our
majority shareholder, in October 2015 at
a redemption value of RM150 million.
The redemption was funded by internally
generated funds. The balance 669.2 million
UEMS RCPS are expected to be converted
into new UEM Sunrise ordinary shares at
RM1.60 per UEMS RCPS for one ordinary
share. Upon the maturity of the UEMS
RCPS in October 2020, UEM Group’s
shareholding in UEM Sunrise will increase
to a potential 69.6%.

Going forward, it is crucial for any organisation to focus on its strengths,
especially during these uncertain times. At UEM Sunrise, we realise
the potential of our strong points and are considering multiple avenues
to ensure the sustainability of our business operations into the future.
Stability in our financial position provides a strong foundation for us to
weather the storm ahead. Our financial discipline over the past few years,
with gross gearing of 0.46x and net gearing of 0.32x as at end FY2019 along
with a cash balance of RM1.1 billion, gives us sufficient liquidity during
these uncertain times. Furthermore, the unutilised SUKUK of RM1.1 billion
to date, provides a further avenue of funding to leverage on opportunities
that will create value for the organisation.
Nevertheless, we recognise that financial strengths alone will not be
adequate. We need to operate as an agile organisation, with CHIEF
values emphasising a high-growth culture strongly embedded among
all employees, to bring UEM Sunrise to greater heights. Innovative
approaches supported by wide adoption of digital tools and Industry 4.0
technologies will be our key source of differentiation. We will continuously
dedicate significant efforts towards these initiatives to ensure relevance in
the new business environment.
Looking further ahead, and considering future scenarios, we seek to
strengthen our core strengths of property development and explore new
opportunities within the real estate space to ensure business viability,
competitiveness and sustainability. Ultimately, we aim to enhance
the lifestyles of our customers and achieve sustainability throughout our
business operations.
Property development is part of a vast ecosystem across a myriad of
industries. Growth in property sales and mortgage approvals are closely
linked with consumer confidence and liquidity in the market. The sector
will continue to play an important role in economic growth; thus, a vibrant
property sector is critical to national development.

by next month ~70%, possible for privatisation like Boustead already announced :)

Upon the maturity of the UEMS
RCPS in October 2020, UEM Group’s
shareholding in UEM Sunrise will increase
to a potential 69.6%.

We also redeemed 123.3 million UEM
Sunrise Redeemable Convertible
Preference Shares (UEMS RCPS) issued
to UEM Group Berhad (UEM Group), our
majority shareholder, in October 2015 at
a redemption value of RM150 million.
The redemption was funded by internally

UEMS RCPS are expected to be converted
into new UEM Sunrise ordinary shares at
RM1.60 per UEMS RCPS for one ordinary

Chairman Datuk Bakarudin Ishak said the hike would be supported by the newly-launched Digital SRP that provides new access for prospective first-time housebuyers to a wider selection of properties, including SRP.

KUALA LUMPUR: The number of loan approved for the My First Home Scheme (SRP) could increase by 14,400 this year, or 54.93%, from a base of 26,213 in 2019, with a total financing of RM9bil, says Cagamas SRP Bhd.

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 11): AmBank Group Research said it remains relatively premature to conclude that there will not be further rate cuts after Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) decided to leave the policy rate unchanged in the latest MPC meeting, holding the overnight policy rate (OPR) at 1.75%.

In a note today, AmBank chief economist and head of research Dr Anthony Dass said as pointed out by BNM, the downside risk remains although the economic activity continues to recover from the trough in April supported by the stimulus measures.

“Does this mean that BNM has put the brakes on rate cutting following a cumulative 125bps in 2020 to bring the OPR to a record low of 1.75%?

“Hence it is vital at this point in time to realise that just because we are seeing some good economic numbers, it does not mean the worst is over.

“Besides, we need to recognise that we still have a long way to go before this pandemic is really over.

“Thus, we cannot totally discount that rate cuts have come to a total halt,” he said.

Upbeat projection: The European Central Bank, right, is seen in Frankfurt. Its prediction of a record 8.7% contraction for 2020 is now showing improvement. — AP

FRANKFURT: Some European Central Bank (ECB) policy makers have become more confident in their forecasts for the region’s economic recovery, potentially reducing the need for more monetary stimulus this year, according to euro-area officials familiar with the discussions.

The latest projections for output and inflation will show only slight changes to the June outlook, the people said, asking not to be named because the report will only be published after the Governing Council meets.

The euro gained after the report, which signals relief that while the recovery still remains highly uncertain, some of the downside risks that the ECB stressed in its previous round of forecasts haven’t so far materialised.

The ECB predicted a record 8.7% contraction for 2020 back in June. That figure will now show an improvement, one person said, with private consumption in particular doing much better than expected.

The officials also said that in their view additional monetary support beyond the current 1.35 trillion euro (US$1.6 trillion) emergency bond-buying programme doesn’t appear warranted from the current perspective, though that could change. The next round of forecasts in December will be key for that decision, they said.

The euro jumped, putting it on track to snap six days of declines. It was up 0.3% at US$1.1815 at 3:36pm Frankfurt time. German 10-year bond yields rose slightly.

An ECB spokesman declined to comment. A full discussion of monetary policy will be held soon.

Most respondents in a Bloomberg survey last week predicted an increase in the bond-buying programme by December, with a median estimate of 350 billion euros. Economists don’t expect any action this week.

The ECB has previously stressed downside risks to its outlook such as a second wave of infections, more permanent damage to the labor market and weak consumption as a result of elevated uncertainty.

Recent data suggested that some of those concerns may have eased. Retail sales have already made up all of the ground lost during the worst phase of the crisis, and governments have been reluctant to go back to full-fledged lockdowns even as the virus spreads.

Many nations have extended their furlough programmes, and the European Union has agreed on a massive recovery fund. The less-downbeat view has been reflected in recent comments from some of the ECB’s top officials.

Chief economist Philip Lane, who is in charge of forecasts, argued recently that “what we’ve seen over the summer is more or less in line with our baseline projections.”

Executive board member Isabel Schnabel came to the the same conclusion. As long as the trend remains intact, there’s no reason to change policy, she said. The euro’s relative strength has been added to the ECB’s list of worries though. — Bloomberg

with the vacancy tax proposal removed, property stocks should rebound soon :) KUALA LUMPUR: The government decision to put the proposed vacancy tax on the back burner comes as good news for developers and the housing industry as well, say property consultants and economists.

Rahim and Co International research director Sulaiman Saheh said the proposal by Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin lacked clarity in the first place.

“Although the intention was to prevent the residential overhang situation from worsening, the implications of implementing the tax amid the challenging period that we are in right now could have other ramifications, ” he said.

2QFY20 CNL of RM57.4m dragged 1HFY20 to CNL of RM61m which disappointed due to slower-than-expected progress billings and sales, impacted by MCO. Slash FY20/21E earnings by 43%/8% but maintain OUTPERFORM with lowered TP of RM0.555 given cheap valuations and it being a beneficiary of a potential revival of the High Speed Rail project.

Maintain OUTPERFORM with a lower TP of RM0.555 (from RM0.565) on unchanged 0.37x FY21E PBV (-1.5SD). Our Outperform rating is premised on the fact that valuations are cheap coupled with the fact that the revival of HSR would benefit UEMS with 75% of their remaining land bank within Johor.

Hundreds of thousands have been given Chinese COVID-19 vaccines without a single infection

CGTN



Hundreds of thousands of people have been given two Chinese COVID-19 vaccine candidates as part of an emergency program, without a single case of infection or adverse effects, a senior official of a state-owned vaccine developer has said. 

The two vaccines, developed by China National Biotec Group (CNBG), are expected to enter the market as soon as December, said Zhou Song, the company's general legal counsel.  

They can protect people against the novel coronavirus for one to three years, and two shots will cost less than 1,000 yuan (about 146 U.S. dollars), according to Zhou.

The two vaccines are still undergoing phase three trials for safety and efficacy in several countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Peru, Morocco, Argentina and Jordan. 

The emergency program was launched in late July, which allows "high-risk" groups to be vaccinated, such as medical workers, diplomats and people who worked in foreign countries still struggling with the pandemic.
