Malaysian Ambassador reiterates M’sia’s interest in participating in Nusantara project
JAKARTA (Dec 20): Malaysia’s Ambassador to Indonesia, Datuk Syed Md Hasrin Tengku Hussin, reiterated Malaysia’s willingness and interest to participate in Indonesia’s new capital project, Nusantara.
He said the project in East Kalimantan on the island of Borneo is a significant initiative by the Indonesian government, currently in its first phase, with additional phases to follow. “Several Malaysian companies have submitted Letters of Intent (LOI) last year, which are currently being evaluated by the Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN). We hope that there will be successful Malaysian companies,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the Export Acceleration Mission organised by Matrade, here. In line with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s statement regarding Malaysia’s commitment to supporting Indonesia as the chair of Asean this year, Malaysia also aims to enhance existing cooperation. “We want to see more bilateral cooperation between Malaysia and Indonesia. Certainly, we hope Indonesia continues to be secure, progressive, and prosperous in the future,” he said. Syed Md Hasrin believes that these efforts will be a crucial element in strengthening bilateral relations, encompassing not only government-to-government cooperation but also economic collaboration. “Economic cooperation between Malaysia and Indonesia reached a good level last year, with bilateral trade amounting to US$30 billion. Malaysia is currently in the fifth position in terms of investment in Indonesia,” he said. Apart from Nusantara, he mentioned numerous infrastructure projects in planning, as informed by representatives from OIKN and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. Syed Md Hasrin is confident that the business-to-business (B2B) meetings conducted by Matrade during the mission will contribute not only to projects in Nusantara but also throughout Indonesia. “The participation of 24 experienced Malaysian companies today possess quality, recognition, and having proven their capabilities in projects domestically and internationally,” he said. A total of 43 Indonesian construction companies are involved in the B2B programme with their business counterparts in Malaysia. – Bernama

SCIB buys land for RM21.6 mil for capacity expansion KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 26): Sarawak Consolidated Industries Bhd (SCIB) said it is acquiring leasehold plots in Demak Laut Industrial Park in Kuching from the Land and Survey Department of Sarawak measuring 8.85 ha for RM21.62 million cash.
This follows an earlier filing by SCIB on Jan 17, which clarified it was in talks with the Sarawak state government to acquire the land plots for the purpose of expanding its production capacity.
The five plots of land are located some 15km from Kuching City Centre.
The industrial factory to be erected on-site, SCIB said, will produce concrete-related products such as spun piles, spun pipes and reinforced concrete products. Construction is expected to start in 2Q2024, and to complete by 1Q2025 for operations to kick-start in 2Q2025, it said.
It added that it has been planning to relocate its current factory in Pending Industrial Estate to the bigger new site, which will allow it to increase production capacity by almost 30%.
“After relocating to the new Demak Laut site, the existing land at Pending Industrial Estate could be used for mixed development purposes subject to project feasibility studies,” SCIB said.
SCIB group MD Ku Chong Hong said in a statement that the expansion “aligns perfectly with the anticipated increase in demand driven by Sarawak's rapid infrastructure development plans in the coming years”.
“While we are aware of the ongoing market fluctuations, SCIB remains steadfast in our commitment to delivering value to our shareholders.
“This investment is a clear indication of our dedication to long-term growth and profitability, ensuring SCIB continues to play a significant role in Sarawak's industrial landscape,” Ku said.
SCIB first announced the plan to acquire the plots of land last week, following a massive sell-off in its shares at the time, as half a dozen counters hit limit-down that week due partly to brokers tightening margin trading on certain counters.
The counter, which hit a new high of RM1.19 on Jan 15, fell to as low as 29 sen — its lowest closing price in seven months amid the market sell-off.
It has since rebounded slightly to close at 44.5 sen on Friday; still down 52% since the start of the year.
At its last close, SCIB had a market capitalisation of RM284.9 million.
SCIB revalues property assets, adds 8 sen per share to NTA In a separate filing, SCIB has also revalued five property assets under its belt, raising its net asset value by RM52.3 million or eight sen per share.
The adjustments, before deferred tax, totalled RM68.99 million, based on market value of the five assets of RM100 million, compared to its carrying value of RM31.62 million before the revaluations.
This brings its NTA per share to 21 sen as at end-September, from 13 sen per share previously.
@Sneakpeek Kesian..so many delusional loser trying to cherish each other.
You're right... there're a lot of losers in here trying desperately to comfort each other when they already knew SCIB is already a gone case and impossible for it to go back to above RM1.00.
SCIB has been used by syndicate just to pump & dump. Don't you get it? Not just SCIB but a few other counters such as Widad... Leform... Rapid... Artroniq... SRidge... YNHProp... and a few others. All of you have been duped. Why are you people so ignorant?
Bright prospects? Hahaha... the company is high in gearing and heavily in debt. It will have to call rights issue soon to pay its debt and to stay afloat. It might even go to PN17 later on.
P&D or not is unsure. They are just victimised at the unfortunate circumstances.
This counter is potential with expected future prospects for growth as evident in their recent developments,there is no reason to believe they can not be restored to the level where it truly belongs to in times to come....
@joyvest... I really feel sorry for your losses bcoz you didn't listen to rr88 and me earlier but pls don't influence others to drown together with you. There are a lot of other good counters in Bursa.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
