Xiang Leng Holdings Bhd ...something to digest on this counter......a near perfect rip off by the MD, Chairman & directors?
Police confirm probe into Chua Soi Lek's brother
Police have confirmed that it received a report concerning an alleged corruption case involving MCA president Chua Soi Lek’s brother Chua Chong Seng.
In a text message to Malaysiakini, Criminal Crimes Investigation Department chief Syed Ismail Syed Azizan said the report was lodged on Friday.
He added that a team from the department has begun investigations into the matter but has not classified the case under any section of the Penal Code yet.
According to The Edge, ornamental fish breeder Xiang Leng Holdings Bhd in a special audit had failed to account for RM90.7 million in capital expenditure between 2005 and 2008.
The report said three former directors including Chong Seng were signatories of cash cheques amounting to RM85.7 million given out under questionable circumstances to four contractors for the construction of fish ponds and another RM5 million was paid out to 52 other contractors.
The other two signatories are former managing director Ng Huan Tong and his wife, Lim Wan Hong.
The report added that the cash cheques were made through a licensed moneychanger company which is 80 percent owned by Chong Seng, but he did not disclose them to the company.
According to a filing with Bursa Malaysia by the company, it said the issuance of huge sums of money through cash cheques was against the company’s financial manual and there was a lack of corroborative evidence that the amount was ever paid to the contractors.
Just Xiang Leng only? I think half of the companies listed in bursa are indulged in all kinds of nonsense. So much for supervision and governance we tossed about each day. Ask how many of our small time investors are hoodwinked into departing their hard earned savings when investing in bursa malaysia. Go ahead SC and MACC to investigate all the hankypanky that is going on. It will not complete the investigation in my and your lifetime.
I wonder why Idris Bin Abdullah acquired 4 million ish shares today and if you take note of "chong" comments , it could tell us another story ???? Appear to be hotter than FIRE ...................
The directors' fees of RM$540,000 is blood sucking the company considering the company has been suffering from losses in the past 5 years. I don't know why management never learned anything from mistakes. The truth is the company will only have a future only if the management keeps shareholders' interest as their top priority. Instead of doing good good, I believe they are just blood suckers! Look what I mean, for example, for SURIA and SSTEEL, these good quality stocks, the directors' fees are only slightly more than a million so you can easily tell who are the crooks and who are the good people! If you don't agree with me, please email me. My email is kianlim2004@yahoo.com
This company got a lot of land in Johore that hasn't been revalued in a long time. So a lot of hidden value in my opinion. Hopefully it will go up in my lifetime and no more nonsense.
Now 58sen. Last Tuesday 36sen. Co inform Bursa no unsual activity. NTA @ Jan15 is 65 sen. This co may benefit from depreciating Ringgit on Export Fish Biz and strong local liquidity play. Or may just rebround from low 20sen. About 7-9 yr ago, share price drop from RM2 to low 20sen!
Today close 60sen. Some investor may be impressed by Annual Report Jan 15 release by this week. Chairman Statement say the following achievement in the yr 1) Freshwater stingray quality & quantity has been improved 2) Productivity of Arowana Fish has been increase 3) Borrowing has been reduce to just RM1.5m.
The share price of XL movement appear more depend on its future earning stream. Therefore, land whehter revalue or not are not so relevant unless the land is going to be disposed soon.
The company has never been able to deliver any meaningful profit to its shareholders in the past 10 years with profit only recorded in FY15 and FY16. Even then, the profit was only at RM500k and RM700k respectively. Most of the time the company actually deliver losses to its shareholders. FY19 would not be any different as well given the 9m19 result of -RM400k. I doubt that management will be able to turnaround the company in FY20 as well.
The one good thing about this company is its balance sheet strength where currently it has no debt at all. NTA is at RM0.62 per share which means at the current share price the company is trading at 0.7x PB. That being said, the only way for investors to gain from this is if management decides to sell most of their assets and pay up dividend to the shareholders. I don’t think it will be anytime soon (if ever).
If you are looking to diversify your portfolio outside of Xian Leng (due to its continuous weak earnings outlook), I would recommend you to look at MBMR.
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 6.3x PE (based on target FY18 PATAMI of RM145mil. 9m PATAMI is already RM106mil). PB is low at only 0.6x BV. 4Q18 results is expected to be higher than 3Q18 and last year's 4Q17.
For FY19 growth will be driven by the still high demand of new Myvi and the newly launched SUV and also the new Alza in 2H19.
Please go through the analyst reports (https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/pt/5983.jsp) and do your own analysis before making any decisions. Most analysts have a TP of above RM3 for the company with Hong Leong being the lowest at RM3.13 and Maybank the highest at RM4.50.
PROPOSED DIVERSIFICATION OF THE EXISTING BUSINESSES OF XIAN LENG AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES TO INCLUDE THE TRADING AND DISTRIBUTION OF EDIBLE BIRD NEST (“PROPOSED DIVERSIFICATION”)
