Get out of a gold mine and then? Wander into free falling stocks like the 4 recent limit down counters? Or worst still step into land mines like Patimas, Transmile, MaeMode or SAAG?
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Bill Ch’ng Chong Poh, a former chief executive officer of Malaysia Pacific Corp Bhd (MPCorp), was charged last Friday with 58 counts of insider trading relating to the property firm’s shares between May 14, 2008 and Aug 20, 2008 by the Securities Commission (SC).
The offences, under Section 188(2) of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007, carry a punishment of mandatory imprisonment not exceeding 10 years and a fine of not less than RM1 million.
Ch’ng claimed trial to the charges preferred and bail was set at RM300,000 with one surety, and Ch’ng surrendered his international passport to the court.
“Ch’ng had allegedly acquired MPCorp shares ahead of entering into a multi-million ringgit joint-venture project between Oriental Pearl City Properties Sdn Bhd, and Amanahraya Development Sdn Bhd (ADSB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amanah Raya Bhd, to undertake and manage several projects in Iskandar Development Region in Johor,” said the SC in a statement last Friday.
“The SC views insider trading seriously and will continue to actively enforce such breaches to maintain investor confidence in the capital market,” it added.
Ch’ng, 75, who is the single largest shareholder of loss-making MPCorp with a 61.48% stake, resigned from his post on Dec 19, 2013, which was resumed by his son Charles Ch’ng Soon Sen, 32, which MPCorp said was “in line with the succession planning of the group”.
Ch’ng remains as chairman of the group’s executive committee to focus on a re-implementation plan as well as restructuring Asia-Pacific Trade & Expo City’s (Aptec) corporate plan and mission of the group. Aptec is an integrated city development in Johor, planned in 2008, in MPCorp’s roadmap to be a conglomerate in the future. But the project has yet to take off.

When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.

Just arrived S'pore after over One Hour Jam at Custom.
Today I visited Johor MAPEX 2014. High Rise Condo in Bandar Sri Alam is priced at RM900 psf. Higher than some Condo prices in Nusajaya or even Iskandar Water Front City.
The Highway Construction From Bandar Sri Alam to Nusa Damai can be clearly seen by now. So far no newspapers or Analyst has written about the Connecting 6 Lanes Gateway to MP Corp Land as yet.
And World Foot Ball Fever Month is around the corner. This is the best opportunity to Buy On Weakness.
Don't Spread lies here. Go and check again about Thomas Cup. Calvin Tan made a mistake in sequence but still face it lor?
A person can make mistake but still got integrity mah. After All Malaysia Did Win The Thomas Cup in Year 1992. That is a very happy historical moment for Calvin Tan.
I am very proud of Foo How Kean & The Sidek Brothers, Cheah Soon Kit & his partner too
calvin, just disregard those 'animals' hahaha. time will prove that you are right. since they are 'animals', they have the herd mentality. only will chase when price is sky high
A company earning a net profit of RM61 million in 3 months is considered a SUNSET. While a loss making company with high level of debts and facing many lawsuits is considered a SUNRISE.
Get these facts straight from KSL 2012 Annual Report
Under KSL Top 10 Properties
No. 10) 18.45 Acres in NUSA BESTARI (NUSAJAYA) VERY PRIME AREA
No.9) 82 Acres in TAMAN KEMPAS INDAH (KEMPAS AREA) OK ONLY
No. 4) 240 Acres In Nusa Bestari Indah (ULU TIRAM) The Poorest Zone North of Iskandar & No Proper Access Road
Total Landbank in NUSAJAYA Is ONLY 18.45 Acres. The Hottest Zone
Overall Total is 18.45 Acres + 82 Acres + 240 Acres = 340.45 Acres
Others Are NOT IN ISKANDAR
Only 340 Acres Out of 2,000 Acres Are In Iskandar Only.
And ONLY 18 Acres Are Good Prime Lands
82 Acres Fairly Good
And 240 Acres in ULU TIRAM Are Poorly Located Landlocked Territory!
SO GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT BY SEARCHING & STUDYING.
MP CORP HAS 630 VERY CENTRAL LAND IN THE VERY HEART OF EASTERN ISKANDAR
POWERFUL BOOSTER IS BANDAR SRI ALAM ON THE LEFT (CITY OF KNOWLEDGE)
AND PENGERANG RAPID & ECOWORLD ON THE RIGHT

Low, who has a “buy” call on IJM Land with a target price of RM3.71, said she believed the earnings growth of IJM Land would remain resilient going forward, as its property offerings were mostly landed properties where demand remained strong.
Besides, it also has minimal exposure to Iskandar Malaysia in Johor Baru where there was a current property glut, she opined.
