Actually the entire construction in their low tide now, few mega projects stopped by PH, what makes you all think that directors can push up the price?

OKA has wide range of precast products. Temporary/permanent drainage, relocation of sewerage or water pipes, bridge T-beam and U-beam, precast piles, ready mixed concrete for cast insitu piling/pilecap/pier, all these widely used in those mega projects. All your TNB cable, water pipe, time fiber, TM, IWK are going underground roughly 1-2meters below, sooner or later this level will be congested with these utilities. Then these have to go even deeper and there is where their large diameter pipe need to be used.

Do not expect huge or fast return if you invest in this counter, this counter will come back when construction industry is back on track, easily 3-4 years. This is my POV from construction industry but not finance/economy.

SHQuah, if you are OKA boss, what's reason you want push up the share price with pocket money? The boss has the finance number in hand, they can estimate the next QR and may be current share price still too high for them make profit.

@SHQuah people will die one day, you and i no exception, but company wont.

Do you think Public Bank will go bust when Teh Hong Piow no longer in the helm?

OKA is a family-controlled business. No outsiders able to shake it. I always like family-controlled business bcos they are more stable.

Jaks is a very bad example of a SINGLE individual outsider able to cause havoc in the company.

Poor prospect for Construction & Property industry for coming few years. Situation getting worst after few mega project postpone or cancel. What do your guys expected OKA business getting better when her customer tighten belt for survive? She definitely take some longer times to grab more revenue and boost the profit. But not for this year......

Goh Kim Hock.......you can't compare Public Bank with OKA.

If I've bought Public share last year, I am still making profit.
I bought OKA last year, now losing like hell.

After bonus issues, the price keep on going down.
Public bank care about shareholder but OKA bosses doesn't care about shareholders.

Cpng.......Thanks for sharing, please don't delete until ESOS approved. Should be soon.

Posted by Goh Kim Hock > 2019-01-29 18:44 | Report Abuse

They did not kill for the ESOS. There's only one Esos corporate exercise. Each year different batch came out, with different exercise price. All came from the said Esos approved. They can choose to exercise or not, no obligation. The previous batches most likely will not be exercised. All batches will lapse at a 5 year time frame based on the 1st batch. The last batch, will only valid for 1 year only.

So no new Esos or issuance of new shares, just the fixing of price for new batch under the same Esos.

If you have no idea or not involved in any corporate exercise before, do not spread rumors. This is very irresponsible.

I worked in a listed financial institution before. I was given Esos. It was the 1st year. It lasted 5 years for you to exercise. If there are price adjustments, the ESOS price will adjust too accordingly.

The potential revival of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) will not only benefit local construction players, but there will also be positive spillover effects on building material companies in Malaysia.
