Malaysia Daybreak | 30 October 2013

▌What’s on the Table…

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Oil & Gas - Equipment & Svs - Contract opportunities point North After Perisai's FPSO and Wah Seong's pipe-coating wins in the North Malay Basin, more contracts should be rolled out to support Petronas's and Hess's US$5.2bn development of the basin. A large fabrication contract is up for grabs, with more to come, Upstream reported. The sector remains an Overweight, with the strong contract pipeline arising from Petronas’s capex as catalyst. Our top picks are SapuraKencana among the big caps and Perisai among the small caps.

KLCC Property Holdings - Twins of uncertainty

KLCCP's 9M13 core net profit of RM452m was in line with our estimate at 75% of our full-year forecast. Yoy revenue growth of 13.7% was driven by both its office and retail segments which grew by 17.8% and 14.9%, respectively. Our DDM-based target price is revised downwards from RM7.30 to RM6.90 as we have revised upwards our risk-free rate to be in line with the current average 10-year MGS yields of 3.7-3.8%. We downgrade from an Outperform to Neutral given the risk to KLCCP's earnings and DPU growth in the longer term. We prefer property developers such as Mah Sing, which is our top pick in the sector.

Sunway REIT - Not so sunny outlook

Sunway REIT's 1Q14 net profit of RM55.4m was broadly in line with our estimates, accounting for 24% of our full-year forecasts. Its softer earnings outlook, arising from the closure of Sunway Putra Mall and the lack of new acquisitions, points to a flattish DPU. Thus, we maintain our Neutral call on the stock, with an unchanged DDM-based target price of RM1.45. We believe investor sentiment on M-REITs overall has waned, given the more positive broader market outlook. For exposure to Malaysian property stocks, we suggest a switch to developers, namely Mah Sing, which is our top pick in the property sector.

We will also use the main television channels for the purpose, and it will be done soon," he said. (Bernama)

The Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Ministry plans to develop 110,170 hectares of idle land in the country for agrofood.

Since 2007, the government had developed 9,213 hectares of land involving 7,517 farmers nationwide and produced 178,141 metric tonnes of yield worth RM78.68m, he said. (Bernama)

The Royal Customs and Excise Department will be ready in terms of manpower, information technology and infrastructure to implement the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Apr 2015, its director-general, Datuk Seri Khazali Ahmad, said on Tuesday. He said all officers had been trained and given the necessary exposure and training on the GST and its implementation over the last few years.

"We have 17 more months to go, which is a long time for us to explain not only to our officers but also to the people that this new system is not something disadvantageous," he said.

Bursa Malaysia Bhd yesterday announced that it and its subsidiaries will be closed for the Maal Hijrah holiday on next Tuesday, 5 Nov. In a statement, Bursa Malaysia said it and its subsidiaries will resume operations on 6 Nov. (Bernama)

JPB-MRT Resources Sdn Bhd, a joint venture (JV) between JPB Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd and MRT Japan Corporation Company Ltd, will invest RM60m to develop a Research and Development (R&D) centre and high technology green houses in the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) by 2016. The Northern Corridor Implementation Authority (NCIA) Chief Executive Datuk Redza Rafiq said the investment also involves the setting up of 30 units of high technology green houses in Ara Kuda, Tasek Gelugor, in Penang.

He added that for a start, the green houses will produce melons and Japanese pumpkins for the export market.

The JV between the Malaysian and Japanese companies, also includes Nepon Inc, a leading manufacturer for Japanese horticulture growers.

The project will be over four phases and Nepon will supply some of its products for JPB-MRT Resources in setting up the green houses.

The first phase of the project includes the R&D centre and five units of the high technology green houses at an estimated cost of RM17.5m.

The second phase comprises 15 units of the green houses costing RM15m, and under the third phase, 10 more units will be built for the same cost.

The final phase involves the setting up of a collection processing centre in Ara Kuda at a cost of about RM5m and RM7.5m for the training component for master growers. (Bernama)

The Cooperatives Commission of Malaysia (CCM) has target for the cooperative sector to register a higher income of RM32.97bn by year-end from RM31.10bn previously. The chairman of the board of directors of the Cooperative College Malaysia Datuk Yusof Samsuddin said this follows the encouraging performance of 33 cooperatives under the micro, small and medium clusters, which had leapt to the large cluster, with each generating an annual income exceeding RM5m. There were now 10,807 registered cooperatives throughout the country with a membership of 7.03m. (Bernama)

The hike in sugar price is not due to the scrapping of the 34 sen subsidy but because the government inked a three-year raw sugar import deal at a high price, said the DAP National Publicity secretary Tony Pua. He said the government had been buying sugar at 55.7% higher than the market price last month. He said this was because the Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry signed the deal at US$26 (RM78.54) per 100lbs (45.3kg) in Jan last year when the market price for raw sugar then was at US$23.42 (RM73.57).

The international price for sugar had gradually dropped since then, going as low as US$16.70 (RM52.46) per 100lbs last month. The market price for raw sugar now, he said, was US$18.91 (RM59.41) per 100lbs.

Taking that into consideration, the subsidy was not needed and the price of sugar in the market was cheaper than the presently fixed RM2.84/kg, he said. The over 10% difference between the contract price and the market price cost the government a loss of RM64m yearly, he added.

"I had already warned the government at the time that international analysis reports had predicted a fall in sugar prices due to excessive supply but my warning was unheeded and the then International Trade and Industry deputy minister Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir told Parliament that the price was going up," he said.

The government should bear the responsibility for making a bad call and admit its mistake, which had cost the government to pay RM194m a year to import 2.73bn pounds of raw sugar annually, he said. (Malaysian Insider)

The government has been urged to stop setting up new agencies, especially those whose functions overlap with existing government bodies and which hire high-salaried contract staff. DAP's Serdang MP Dr Ong Kian Ming said PM Datuk Seri Najib Razak should walk the talk by cutting expenditure in the Prime Minister's Department and not create more new and expensive agencies.

He was referring to Najib's announcement of a Green Foundation and the Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre (Magic) during the Budget 2014 speech last Friday.

He said the two new agencies were unnecessary, and pointed out the existence of the Malaysian Green Tech Corporation and the Sustainable Energy Development Authority, he said.

He said agencies such as Agensi Inovasi Malaysia, the Malaysian Productivity Council and others were already doing the job of the newly-announced Magic. (Malaysian Insider)

The crime index has seen a steady drop in the number of reported cases, from 211,645 in 2008 to 153,669 last year. From Jan to Sep this year, the total number of cases reported were 111,020. Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the index includes violent and property crimes, and drug-related offences.

The number of violent crimes has dropped from 37,817 cases in 2008 to 29,950 last year. This year, 22,357 cases were reported up to Sep.

Property crimes reported last year was 123,719 cases, a drop from 173,828 cases reported in 2008.

Some 857,252 people were arrested for various drug-related offences between 2008 and Sep this year.

Selangor reported the highest number of violent and property crime cases, with 57,752 cases in 2008 and 40,629 cases last year, followed by Kuala Lumpur with 28,438 cases in 2008 and 23,022 cases last year.

Perlis reported the least number of violent and property crime cases with 808 cases in 2008. However, the number has increased to 974 cases last year. (NST)

There is an apparent Western bias in credit rating agencies' assessment of economies and their risk profiles, said CIMB Group Holdings Bhd CEO Dato' Sri Nazir Razak. "If you look at the global financial system today, it was constructed and dominated by the West. If you look at the rating system for example, it is all dominated by S&P and Moody's," he said.

He said the rating agencies "dictate" how countries and banks looked at each other, pointing out that this determined how much capital a bank had to put against a loan it gave to a certain company.

"My question is, why are we only dependent on S&P and Moody's? Are they able to assess our credit worthiness properly? If you look at their history, it is pretty bad because for the longest time they said Spain had a much better credit rating than China - when China was doing all lending while Spain was doing all the borrowing," he said.

"This doesn't make sense and this is a clear example of the Western bias in the system. And until today we still have not evolved an Asian rating agency. I think that Ratings Agency Malaysia (RAM) should evolve to Ratings Agency Asia (RAA)," he quipped.

Despite the present situation, he also noted that there was a "discernible rise" of Asian players and this could be the wider trend over the next few years. (Starbiz)

The government will not do away with the vital revenue-generating excise tax as opposed to the abolishment of Sales and Services Tax (SST) upon the introduction of the recently announced Goods and Services Tax (GST). Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala said Malaysia will not abolish the duty as it is still an important source of revenue. (Malaysian Reserve)

Malaysian and Thai financial institutions are the most vulnerable in the Asia-Pacific region to a deterioration in the household debt segment, as household leverage outpace income growth and undermine household resilience, according to a Standard & Poor's (S&P) report. It said the creditworthiness of the banks' households exposure in the country is less resilient than its peers, as a result of rapidly rising households indebtedness.

In 2012, Malaysia has the highest household debt-to-GDP ratio of 80.5% compared to other Asia-Pacific regions such as Thailand (77.1%), Singapore (76.8%), Korea (75.4%), Taiwan (64.9%), Japan (62.8%) and Hong Kong (58.2%).

Besides that, it said Malaysia and Thailand experienced constrained income levels where the nominal GDP per capita of US$5,677 in Thailand and US$10,393 in Malaysia us low compared to other similarly rated sovereigns. (Malaysian Reserve)

Political News…

Several Umno supreme councillors have hit back at Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad over his claims that money politics was rampant in the party, saying that it was an insult to the 146,000 delegates who voted in the party polls earlier this month. Going into "damage control", they said their former president's remarks implied that the delegates "were easy to buy with money" and told him to be specific about what he meant instead of making rash statements. Dr Mahathir's comment came on the heels of talk that vote-buying was rampant in the party elections, which had been widened from 2,500 central delegates to 146,000 this time to prevent money politics. (Malaysianinsider)

Backbenchers Club chairman Tan Sri Shahrir Abdul Samad (BN-Johor Baru) has called for an end to sugar monopolies in the country now that the sugar subsidy has been removed. "With the subsidy removed, the sugar industry should be liberalised. Import of the commodity should be allowed for instance from Thailand and allow market forces dictate the price of processed sugar. "Monopolies for sugar supply must be ended. There should also be no cartels fixing the price (of processed sugar)," he said when debating the Supply Bill 2014 in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.

Former PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has said the Malaysian courts are free and it is ridiculous to suggest that he had subverted the judicial system, which had often ruled against his government and party during his tenure. Dr Mahathir cited the courts' latest decision on the use of the word Allah as an example of its independence. He said whereas the High Court decided that use of the word was permitted in Herald, the Court of Appeal disagreed. (Malaysianinsider)

Kuala Lumpur has been listed as one of the favourite prime new-build markets for property and real-estate investors from China, according to a report compiled by Knight Frank. Its global head of residential research Liam Bailey said the Chinese are the most influential buyers in the world's prime new-build sector. "Chinese are the top purchasers of new-build residential properties in Sydney and Hong Kong and are active buyers in both Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok's prime new-build markets," Bailey said yesterday.

Liam said Chinese buyers' global presence is fuelled in part by the strong yuan and a slowing domestic economy, both encouraging them to look further afield in an attempt to diversify investments. He said the next most influential buyers are from Singapore and Russia, followed by the United Kingdom and the United States.

"Given the recent growth in wealth creation in Asia over the last few years, it is, perhaps, no surprise that buyers from this region feature strongly among our list of top global new-build purchasers," he said. (BT)

The state is currently ironing out details on "how best to make the offer".

"Langat 2 is also part of the discussion for the water restructuring matter", he said, referring to the long-delayed water treatment plant that will treat some 1.89bn litres of raw water to meet the demand in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya until 2025. (Financial Daily)
