EPF buy back 282,100. Total shareholder 62,165,000.

If MCA lose big in GE14, Star shares will plummet. If it performs a bit better, Star shares will go up. EPF bought at one stage (maybe a few months ago) some 12 million shares over a few days. You can check it out. I don't think EPF will sell everything.

I don't think Star shares will slump except they lost everything in GE14. Current price already reflect they will do very bad in the election. Let c how MCA / Star doing from now until GE14.

Journalism profession in Star paper rot to the rock bottom.
Just can't imagine Chief Editor is such an unfit person to screen through all the rubbish published in this low pariah paper.

For sure MCA is no more relevant to Malaysian politics.
Can MCA get a single parliamentary seat or state seat for GE 14?

Vote for MCA means you want to retain MO1 as PM of Malaysia.
Will MO1 continue to rob or steal our hard earned money if he remain as PM ?
Don't take chance.
Just boot him out tomorrow.

Remember, vote for MCA means you are helping to retain MO1 as your PM.....

One of the reforms to be adopted swiftly of the current government is to decouple political parties and media companies. Then what would happen to this MCA controlled media outfit? If this is true, the policy of the born again Malaysia is commendable..
