Greece wants
‘pan-European’ deal
Denies seeking ‘showdown’ with Europe
ATHENS: Greece’s new anti-austerity government yesterday called
for a “pan-European New Deal”
for bloc-wide growth and denied
seeking a “showdown” with Europe
over controversial plans to redraft
its multibillion bailout.
“There will be no showdown
between our government and the
European Union (EU). There will
be no threats, it’s not about who
climbs down first,” said new Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras
earlier told his cabinet that Greece
would seek a “fair, mutually beneficial solution” with its EU peers to renegotiate its €240 billion (RM985.23
billion) EU-IMF (International Monetary Fund) bailout and make its
huge debt socially manageable.
In a speech to the cabinet — his first
since taking office — the 40-year-old
premier however insisted that Greece’s
new leaders were no longer willing to
bow to the “politics of submission”, in
a clear swipe at Brussels and the IMF.
“Our people are suffering and
demand respect... We must bleed to
defend their dignity,” Tsipras said.
But the new government’s radical anti-austerity agenda has
alarmed financial markets, reviving fears that Greece could crash
out of the eurozone.
Greek stocks were shedding over
7% in late afternoon trade — after
losing 3% the previous day — and
yields on 10-year bonds also rose
above the symbolic barrier of 10%.
And in another move that
spooked markets, the government
halted the privatisation of Greece’s
main port, Piraeus, which Chinese
shipping giant China Ocean Shipping Co had planned to turn into
its new European hub.
After his Syriza party stormed to
power on Sunday, Tsipras forged a coalition with the nationalist Independent Greeks, who are equally opposed
to the fiscal cuts imposed over the past
five years in return for bailout loans.
See related story on Page 18
Varoufakis, a fierce critic of the
conditions imposed by creditors,
yesterday called the cuts “a toxic mistake ... that took a toll on human lives,
either lost or undermined.” The ruling Syriza party has made frequent
references to a “New Deal”, harking
back to the stimulus programme that
pulled the United States out of the
Great Depression in the 1930s. — AFP

Carlsberg freezes pay and hiring
COPENHAGEN: Danish brewer
Carlsberg said yesterday it had
implemented a hiring and salary
freeze at the start of the year to gird
itself against an economic slowdown in Russia.
The freeze “has been in place since
the beginning of this year,” company
spokesman Jim Daniell told AFP.
“It’s mainly due to the tough microeconomic conditions in Russia,
which our Russian business is facing,” he said, adding that the company was unable to say how long
the measures would be in place.
Exemptions could be made for
seasonal workers “but as far as pay
grades or anything like that, it’s
across the board,” he said.
Carlsberg is Russia’s leading
brewer with a 39% market share.
In November, the group said in
its third-quarter earnings report that
while the value of the Russian beer
market had grown in the first nine
months, volumes had declined by

were due at the end of 2012. “Different levels of government owe
us a lot of money,” Yan Jiehe said.
“The overdue debt should now
exceed 50 billion yuan,” he added. “We are suing for around one

LONDON: Foreign money flows

with bond investment rising to

EU investment plan could create 2.1 million jobs
GENEVA: The European Commission’s €315 billion (RM1,294.1 trillion)
investment plan to spur growth could
create more than 2.1 million net new
jobs, lowering the bloc’s jobless rate by
1% by 2018, the International Labour
Organization (ILO) said yesterday.
But if the three-year plan, announced by Commission chief JeanClaude Juncker in November, fails to
attract and leverage private investment, it would create just 400,000
new jobs, barely making a dent in the
EU’s 23 million unemployed, it said.
“If the plan is well designed, by
IN BRIEF
contrast, the number could reach
2.1 million new jobs by 2018. This
would enable a reduction in the unemployment in the European Union by 0.9% point, almost 1% lower
unemployment rate by 2018. It’s a
significant number,” Raymond Torres, director of the ILO’s research
department, told a news briefing.
“The Juncker plan is potentially
an important way to stimulate the
real economy directly in complement to the monetary injections that
have been announced by the European Central Bank,” he added, re-
ferring to the massive bond-buying
programme announced last week.
But investors being asked to
stump up most of the cash have
said Europe needs to come up with
more government money and more
details if its grand plan to boost
growth via new infrastructure projects is to get off the ground.
The plan of loans for infrastructure and small business is meant
to include €252 billion in private
investment to help bring down current EU-wide employment of some
10%, the ILO said. — Reuters

Three Tanjung Offshore
officials suspended
Company alleges ‘possibilities of conflict of interest and breaches of fiduciary duty’
BY C H A RLOT TE C H ONG
KUALA LUMPUR: Three company
officials in Tanjung Offshore Bhd
have been suspended after an internal review by an independent committee established within the firm.
According to a filing with Bursa
Malaysia yesterday, the company
alleged that there were “possibilities
of conflict of interest and breaches
of fiduciary duty involving two of
its directors, i.e. an executive director of Tanjung and a non-independent non-executive director of
Tanjung, acting both individually
and together”.
After deliberating on the findings
by the independent committee to
the board, Tanjung (fundamental
score: 1.95; valuation score: 2.4) said
it had decided to suspend the services of the said non-independent
non-executive director, executive
director and another individual,
its group adviser, with immediate
effect.
The independent committee
was formed on Jan 8, 2015, with its
members being three independent
directors of Tanjung, namely George
William Warren, Datuk Ab Wahab
Ibrahim and Shahrizal Hisham Abdul Halim. It was formed to review
and make recommendations “on
matters arising from recent media
reports on Tanjung”, according to
the company’s earlier announcement to Bursa.
The independent committee said
it found no faults or improprieties
on several matters, namely the acquisition of a property in the United
Kingdom for £6.7 million (RM36.7
million), as well as the acquisition
of the remaining 49% of Gas Generators (M) Sdn Bhd.
However, it found “deficiencies
in process” in the Philippine operations, which involved washing and
trading of chromite tailings; and
“lapses in control” in its ethylene
prolylene diene monomer project
in China.
Meanwhile, on its “construction
work request (CWR) closure project”,
Tanjung said the independent committee found that “there appears to
be elements of collusion/ collaboration in the ongoing negotiations
with a potential subcontractor which
could result in serious inflation of
costs for Tanjung”.
Tanjung said based on the committee’s finding, “Bourbon had informed that the two directors of Tanjung have approached Bourbon for
a vessel contract in Malaysia during
the period of heads of agreement for
a personal company linked to the
non-independent non-executive
director of Tanjung”.
To recap, Tanjung had a deal with
Bourbon Offshore Asia Pacific Ltd
to inject the latter’s marine assets
into the former, which would eventually result in a reverse takeover of
Tanjung by Bourbon. However, the
deal was mutually terminated in December 2014, following changes in
the prevailing economic, financial
and market conditions, including
declining oil prices.
Tanjung said the actions above
could have resulted in a “loss of
business opportunity and potential income stream related to the
Bourbon deal; the negotiation of
disadvantageous and lopsided contract terms and potential future loss
related to the CWR project; and the
dissemination of confidential company information to third parties
related to both the Bourbon transaction and the CWR project”.
Interestingly, Tanjung didn’t
name the trio whom it suspended
in the late evening announcement
to Bursa.
However, in a statement released
prior to its Bursa filing, it identified
the three individuals as executive director Muhammad Sabri Ab Ghani,
non-independent director Tan Sri
Tan Kean Soon and adviser Datuk
Harzani Azmi.
The statement was issued by Millennium Associates Sdn Bhd on
behalf of Tanjung.
As the largest shareholder, Lembaga Tabung Haji owns a 8.26% stake
in Tanjung. Its last transaction of an
acquisition of 1.45 million shares
was done in December last year.
This is followed by Tan, who holds
a 5.79% equity interest in Tanjung.
Tanjung ended 5% higher at 42
sen yesterday, translating into a
market capitalisation of RM156.26
million.
Shake-up at the top in AMMB
THE EDGE FILE PHOTO
BY JAHABAR SADIQ & JOYCE GOH
KUALA LUMPUR: A major shake-up
at the top level of AmBank Group is
on the cards as the banking industry
braces itself for a tough 2015.
Sources said the banking arm of
AMMB Holdings Bhd (fundamental: 1.7 ; valuation: 3.0) will soon see
the departure of its group managing
director (MD) Ashok Ramamurthy,
MD for wholesale banking coverage
Pushpa Rajadurai, and AmInvestment Bank MD/chief executive officer for wholesale banking products
Kok Tuck Cheong.
“Some of the changes will likely
be announced as early as end of this
week,” a source said.
At press time, AMMB had yet to
respond to questions posed.
Banking analysts when contacted
said they were unaware of anything
brewing. “This is quite surprising.
The market’s perception is that the
team, with Ashok leading it, has
done a good job so far based on
the numbers,” said a banking analyst. “NPL (non-performing loan)
ratios have come down, they have
improved cost efficiency; deposit
base has improved and ROE (return
on equity) has increased.”
Sources said a myriad of issues
surrounding the business were behind the upcoming changes.
Most recently, AmInvestment

KUALA LUMPUR: State investor Khazanah Nasional Bhd
is selling 112 million shares
worth up to US$454 million
(RM1.64 billion) in Malaysia’s
largest power group Tenaga
Nasional Bhd (TNB), according to a term sheet seen by
Reuters yesterday.
The shares are being
priced at between RM14.40
and RM14.60 per share, according to the sheet, which
is equivalent to a discount
of about 1.35% to 2.7% to the
closing price of TNB shares
yesterday.
The sale will reduce

The sale will reduce Khazanah’s stake in the country’s

Today, ANZ is the single largest shareholder of AMMB with its
23.75% stake. The entry of ANZ
has also boosted AmBank Group’s
product base, strengthened its business policies and improved its asset quality.
Aside from ANZ’s stake, the Employees Provident Fund has a 14.5%
stake in the group, while AmBank
Group chairman — Tan Sri Azman
Hashim — has a 12.97% stake.
For the six months ended Sept 30,
2014 (1HFY14), AMMB’s net profit
rose 11% year-on-year (y-o-y) to
RM1.048 billion. In notes accompanying the results, AMMB said
the improvement in earnings was
also due to other higher operating income of RM392.8 million and
other lower operating expenses of
RM81.8 million.
As for the full financial year ended March 31, 2014 (FY14), AMMB
saw its net profit rising 10% (y-o-y)
to RM1.78 billion.
The stock ended three sen down
yesterday at RM6.57, giving it a market capitalisation of RM19.8 billion.

AirAsia X to raise RM500m
Loss-making carrier proposes rights issue and private placement
BY C Y NTHI A B L E M IN
KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia X Bhd
(AAX), the loss-making long-haul
affiliate of low-cost carrier AirAsia
Bhd, plans to raise RM500 million via
a rights issue and a private placement
to shore up its balance sheets, according to a source close to the matter.
The proposed rights issue is expected to be discussed and approved
in a board meeting that will be held
today.
The meeting will be chaired by
AirAsia (fundamental: 1.3; valuation: 1.8) founder and group
chief executive officer (CEO) Tan
Sri Tony Fernandes, who is due
to return from the 2015 annual
meeting of the World Econom-
ic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“The proposed rights issue would
be carried out on the basis of one new
share for every two existing shares
held to raise around RM400 million.
“There is also a proposed private
placement of some 10% of the enlarged issued and paid-up share capital of AAX to raise another RM100
million,” said the source.
If approved, these two corporate
exercises will raise about RM500 million and the money would be used
to shore up the company’s balance
sheets for a good one year at least,
added the source.
AAX (fundamental: 0; valuation:
0.3) saw its net loss for the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2014 (3QFY14)
widen 84.8% to RM210.85 million
from RM128.79 million in 2QFY14,
on higher operating expenses, foreign
exchange losses and finance costs. It
was its fourth consecutive quarterly
loss since 4QFY13.
The airline is due to announce
its 4QFY14 financials next month,
and analysts are upbeat that the
airline can return to profit due to
lower fuel prices that coincides
with the seasonally peak fourth
quarter for 2014.
AAX is also undergoing management changes with its CEO Azran

his way out since last year, serving
his leave pending a replacement,

SHAHRIN YAHYA
BY C H EN SHAUA F UI
KUALA LUMPUR: While supportive of the implementation of the
online system for the employment and management of foreign
workers, a group representing 32
business associations has called
on the government not to make
the renewal of the foreign worker
temporary permit (PLKS) using
the online system provided by
MyEG Services Bhd mandatory.
They also called for the mandatory use of the Foreign Workers
Centralised Management System
(FWCMS), a system designed to
recruit, manage and profile foreign workers through the biometric system and operated by Bestinet Sdn Bhd, to be suspended
with immediate effect.
Associated Chinese Chambers
of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia deputy secretary-general
Tan Sri Teo Chiang Kok (pic) said
the associations and chambers
fully support the implementation
of an e-government system, but
employers must be given the option of using the over-the-counter service provided by the Home
Affairs Ministry (KDN).
He said that the government
should not pass on the cost for
outsourcing its services to a third
party and charge the public for
these services.
“This is part of the government’s duty. We already pay a
levy and licensing fee. This should
cover the cost of processing,” Teo
told a press conference here yesterday.
He added that the RM38 processing fee per foreign worker
charged by MyEG (fundamental:
2.6; valuation: 1.5) would be an
additional burden to businesses,
and the cost would ultimately be
passed on to consumers.
Currently, an employer who
wishes to hire a foreign worker
will have to pay a total of RM1,692
in various fees including the levy
(RM1,250), medical check-up
for workers (RM190 for women, RM180 for men), insurance
(RM127) and immigration processing fee (RM125).
Effective Jan 5, MyEG’s online
service became the only option to
renew the work permit of foreign
workers. Over-the-counter renewals were discontinued.
Some quarters complained that
this effectively means MyEG has
a monopoly on the renewal of the
PLKS. This has led the Malaysia
Competition Commission to initiate a probe on MyEG after a
complaint was lodged against it.
There were also concerns over
additional fees incurred by foreign
workers as it is now compulsory
to use the FWCMS to obtain entry visas.
“We understand both of these
systems are merely under the
‘Proof of Concept’ and only in
the ‘test run’ stage. In this regard,
the systems should not be made
mandatory. Even if they are proven to be efficient, they should only
be an option,” Teo said.
Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association president Lim
Kok Boon said that the various
processes involved in the hiring,
renewal and repatriation of foreign workers through KDN or the
government’s outsourced agents
have added to the cost of doing
business. Part of this cost has also
shifted to foreign workers, thus
affecting their income.
Malaysian Association of Foreign Maid Agencies president
Jeffrey Foo also pointed out the
agents in source countries such
as Nepal and Indonesia have decided not to send workers to Malaysia due to the increase in the
entry visa fee charged by the outsourced agents.
The 32 associations also proposed that all matters relating to
the employment of foreign workers be managed by the Ministry of
Human Resources (MoHR), as it
is the designated ministry for human resources and labour issues.
“MoHR currently has more
than 80 branches throughout the
country which can readily be organised to include the provision
of foreign worker-related services
at their counters,” Teo said.
The associations argued that
the role and function of the KDN
should be restricted to the issuance of the calling visa after
approval has been given by the
MoHR.
The associations include the
Malaysian Associated Indian
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Federation of Malaysian
Foundry and Engineering Industries Associations and SME Association Malaysia.

to RM283m
BY J E F F R E Y TA N
KUALA LUMPUR: LPI Capital Bhd’s
fourth quarter (4QFY14) net profit soared 123% from a year ago to
RM117.1 million or 53 sen a share,
boosted by the realisation of investment gains in equities.
4QFY14 revenue rose 1.5% to
RM299.2 million, in line with the
marginal growth in its core general insurance business, which recorded a revenue growth of 1.4%
to RM298.5 million.
For the full-year period, LPI’s net
profit surged 40.5% to RM283.02
million, while revenue rose 4.5% to
RM1.17 billion from RM1.12 billion
previously, its filing to Bursa Malaysia yesterday showed.
LPI said the higher FY14 profit was largely from its investment
holding segment, which recorded
a higher pre-tax profit of RM85.5
million, mainly due to the realised
gain on disposal of investment in
quoted equities.
LPI (fundamental: 1.7; valuation: 0.35) also declared a second
interim single-tier dividend of 55
sen per share for the financial year
ended Dec 31, 2014. This translates
to a full year distribution of 75 sen
per share.
Separately, LPI announced a
proposed bonus issue on a onefor-two basis that involves the issuance of some 110.66 million new
ordinary shares to reward its shareholder for their “loyalty” and “continuous support”, and to increase
LPI’s capital base to reflect its current scale of operations and assets.
Shares of LPI ended up 10 sen or
0.5% at RM18.50, giving it a market
capitalisation of RM4.09 billion.
BNM keeps OPR at 3.25%
BY S H A L IN I KUMA R
KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has decided to maintain
the Overnight Policy Rate at 3.25%,
following the Monetary Policy Commitee meeting yesterday.
The central bank said while Malaysian financial markets had been
affected by global developments,
there has been no disruption to financial intermediation.
“There remains ample liquidity
in the domestic financial system,
with continued orderly functioning
of the financial markets. The banking institutions are operating with
strong capital and liquidity buffers,
and continue to provide financing to
the economy,” it said in a statement,
noting it would continue to monitor
the risks of destabilising financial
imbalances. BNM added economic
activity will continue to be supported
by growth in domestic demand amid
a moderation in exports in the fourth
quarter of 2014. It believes going forward, domestic demand will remain
the key driver of growth.
“While private consumption
is expected to moderate, it will remain supported by the steady rise
in income and employment, and
the additional disposable income
from the lower oil prices,” said the
central bank.
Meanwhile, it expects investment activity to remain resilient,
with broad-based capital spending
by both the private and public sectors cushioning the lower oil and
gas-related investments.

Yinson clinches
RM9.16b job
in Ghana
It is the group’s largest contract to date
KUALA LUMPUR: Yinson Holdings
Bhd has clinched a contract for the
chartering, operation, and maintenance of a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) facility
of up to US$2.539 billion (RM9.166
billion) for oil and gas (O&G) support operations in Ghana.
Yinson (fundamental: 1.5; valuation: 1.5) told Bursa Malaysia yesterday that a consortium made up of
its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
Yinson Production (West Africa) Pte
Ltd (YPWA) and Yinson Production
West Africa Ltd (YPWAL), had been
awarded the contract by Italy-based
Eni SpA’s unit in Ghana, Eni Ghana
Exploration and Production Ltd (Eni
Ghana). The FPSO will process O&G
from the Offshore Cape Three Points
(OCTP) block in the Tano Basin,
which is approximately 60km off
the coast of Ghana.
YPWAL is a Ghanaian joint venture company of Yinson Production
Pte Ltd (YPPL) (49%) and Oil and
Marine Agencies Ghana Ltd (51%).
YPPL is an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Yinson principally involved in the ship management services incidental to O&G extraction.
“The contract is for a firm charter
period of 15 years with five-yearly
extension options exercisable by
the client.
“The estimated aggregate value of
the contract (excluding reimbursable and cost escalation) during the
firm charter period is approximately
up to US$2.539 billion) and an estimated total aggregate value of up
to US$3.256 billion if Eni Ghana
exercises all five-yearly extension
options,” said Yinson.
“This contract is a game changer
for Yinson. This is by far our largest
contract to date, [and] brings us into
the top tier of FPSO players, and
Lim: This contract is a
game changer for Yinson.
This is by far our largest
contract to date, [and]
brings us into the top tier
of FPSO players.
demonstrates the excellent strategic
value of our acquisition of Fred Olsen Production in 2013,” said Yinson
chief executive officer Lim Chern
Yuan in a press statement.
The group added that Eni Ghana,
in an announcement on Tuesday,
had informed the market that Eni
Group and its partners had signed
an agreement with the President
of Ghana and the minister of petroleum to proceed with the OCTP
project.
Meanwhile, under the contract,
YPWA is the FPSO chartering company while YPWAL is the company
engaged in the operation and maintenance of the FPSO. “The FPSO is
expected to commence operations
in the OCTP block in 2017,” Yinson
said, adding that the contract will
contribute to its revenue and earnings from the financial year ending
Jan 31, 2018 (FY18) onwards.
“The win is definitely credit positive to the company,” an analyst with
Kenanga Research told The Edge Financial Daily over the phone, adding that his firm may raise Yinson’s
target price (TP) to RM3.
Currently, the firm has an “underperform” call on Yinson, with a
TP of RM2.31.
“We are still working out the exact number and rating. But we are
keeping our earnings forecast unchanged for now as the company
will only realise contributions from
[the job] from FY18,” she said.
Another analyst, who declined
to be named, said there will not be
much change in his calculations as
he had factored the job into his earlier estimation on Yinson. His firm
has a “hold” call on the stock, with
a fair value of RM2.97.
The trading of Yinson’s share
was suspended between 9am and
10am yesterday in conjunction with
the contract announcement. When
trading resumed, the stock rose as
much as eight sen or 2.8% to RM2.98
before shedding its gains to close unchanged at RM2.90, giving it a market capitalisation of RM3.01 billion.

DAP wants special
audit as 1MDB seeks
third repayment delay
KUALA LUMPUR: Putrajaya must
conduct a special audit of 1Malaysia
Development Bhd’s (1MDB) finances
after the strategic investor reportedly
requested for a third extension to repay a local RM2 billion loan, throwing a spotlight on its finances, said a
DAP lawmaker.
Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua
said 1MDB was “holding Malaysian
banks hostage by seeking a third extension for its overdue RM2 billion
loan”, citing a Bloomberg report yesterday saying “1MDB is planning to
seek another one-month extension”
on its RM2 billion loan “to give it more
time to sell a stake in its energy unit”.
“This news is shocking as 1MDB
has already missed two repayment
deadlines for a RM2 billion debt in
November and December 2014. Even
this RM2 billion loan itself is part of a
rescheduled and restructured debt it
couldn’t pay in November 2013,” he
said in a media statement released
in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
He said the loan repayment extension raised a bigger question about
the US$1.1 billion (RM3.97 billion)
of funds which recently appointed
1MDB chief executive officer Arul
Kanda Kandasamy had announced
as “redeemed” from its Cayman Islands investment on Jan 13.
“Why couldn’t 1MDB have repaid
the RM2 billion loan with the proceeds of the redemption first to ease
the pressure on 1MDB?” he asked.
“The 1MDB debt crisis and its inability to resolve the meagre amount
relative to its RM42 billion debt betrays the fact that the company is in
serious financial trouble. Its assets are
over-leveraged and illiquid while in all
probability, 1MDB is also unable to
exit its investments without incurring
substantial losses,” he added.
Pua said that Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak,
who is the chairman of the board of
advisers for 1MDB “can no longer
hide behind the outlandish façade
and rhetoric that 1MDB is financially strong when it has to reschedule its
RM2 billion debt repayment thrice”.
“Instead, Datuk Seri Najib must
instruct a special audit of 1MDB by
the auditor-general or a reputable
independent auditor to uncover its
financial shenanigans,” the DAP lawmaker said.
He pointed out that The Edge Financial Daily had reported that Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) had summoned
key executives of 1MDB over the loan
repayment and warned them of the
consequences of failing to meet the
loan repayment deadline this month.
“The act of even seeking another
extension to the loan, which is only
a fraction of 1MDB’s RM42 billion
debt, is an affront to BNM. 1MDB is
also holding its bankers, in this case
Maybank (Malayan Banking Bhd)
and RHB Bank [Bhd], hostage as the
banks will have little choice but to grant
1MDB a further extension to the loan.
“It is completely unbecoming
and irresponsible for 1MDB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ministry
of Finance to bully its financiers. At
the same time, 1MDB’s delinquency
threatens both the creditworthiness
of the Malaysian government and the
stability of the Malaysian banking
system,” Pua said.
The Bloomberg report said the
state-owned investment company
needed more time to repay the debt
as it’s still in discussions with billionaire T Ananda Krishnan, Malaysia’s
second-richest person, citing people
who asked not to be named as the
process was private.
“[Ananda] Krishnan may exercise
an option, granted when he sold energy assets to 1MDB in 2012, to buy part
of the Edra Global Energy Bhd unit, the
people said,” according to the report.
Pua said it was scandalous that
the question of 1MDB’s ability to repay a RM2 billion debt now hinged
entirely on whether Ananda decides
to exercise his options to acquire a
stake in a 1MDB subsidiary.
“Firstly, 1MDB had overpaid Ananda with a RM8.5 billion acquisition of
his power assets in 2012. Now Ananda
holds the trump card to potentially
buy a strategic stake in 1MDB’s energy division at a fire-sale price because 1MDB has a RM2 billion sword
hanging over its head.
“And the new chief executive officer, Arul Kanda, has the cheek to tell
the media that 1MDB is a ‘responsible
borrower’,” he added. — The Malaysian Insider
BV. “We see an extra 10% from the
MTJDA area that we can capture.
From Malaysia’s perspective, there
is a leakage of vessels going to Thailand. We can capture that with Tok
Bali’s strategic location,” Roslan said.
AZRB announced last week that
it was leasing plots of land at the Tok
Bali Port with fuel and water bunkering facilities from TB Supply Base
Sdn Bhd and TB Realty for 32 years.
The company would be investing
RM12 million to RM15 million to build
two 3-litre marine gas oil tanks and
one 5-litre water tank at the Tok Bali
Port. Construction of these facilities
are expected to be completed in two
to three months.
AZRB’s expansion into a new
supply base as well as its optimistic
growth expectation may seem surprising at a time when the O&G sector is
seeing a slump in global crude prices.
However, Roslan dismissed the
threat of lower crude oil price to AZRB’s O&G earnings.
“People make a big deal out of
declining oil prices. Yes, it affects us
but it is not as if Malaysia started exploring and exporting oil when oil
price was at US$100 (RM361) per
barrel. Malaysia has been an oil and
gas player even when oil price was
US$20 per barrel. There will still be
[exploration] activities [regardless of
the low oil prices],” he said.
Tok Bali to boost Ahmad Zaki’s O&G revenue
BY Y EN N E FOO
KUALA LUMPUR: Ahmad Zaki Resources Bhd (AZRB) (fundamental:
0.55; valuation 1.8) is expecting its oil
and gas division (O&G) to contribute
“very good growth” in the next few
years in terms of revenue and profit
after the expansion of its bunkering
operations to the new Tok Bali Port
in Kelantan.
“Seeing that Tok Bali is in a very
strategic location, in three to four
years’ time, we would see very good
growth,” AZRB’s chief operating officer
Datuk Haji Roslan Jaffar told reporters after the signing ceremony of the
sub-lease and throughput agreement
with Tok Bali Port operators yesterday.
Roslan said revenue contribution
from the company’s existing bunkering activities in Kemaman Port in
Terengganu and the new Tok Bali Port,
could increase from 9% to approximately 20% in three to four years’ time.
In terms of profit, operations at
the two East Coast ports would still
contribute up to half of AZRB’s profits. In the nine months ended Sept
30, 2014, AZRB’s profit was RM9.9
million, while revenue was RM498.2
million — to which O&G contributed
7.46% or RM37.16 million.
The main reason for AZRB’s confidence in its Tok Bali Port bunkering
activities is the port’s “unrivalled”
location. It is only 160km away from
land as well as key exploration areas
such as the Malaysia-Thailand Joint
Development Area (MTJDA) and
the Malaysia-Vietnam Commercial
Arrangement Area.
Roslan said once AZRB’s new bunkering facilities are in operation, up to
10 production service contract (PSC)
customers, which are currently visiting the Kemaman Port and Songkhla
Port in Thailand, could be diverted to
Tok Bali. Some PSC customers expected to utilise the Tok Bali Supply
Base are Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd,
Carigali Hess Operating Co Sdn Bhd,
Talisman Malaysia Ltd, and Hess Exploration and Production Malaysia

Penang to see
RM5b FDIs in
manufacturing
Investors are listed firms from China, Europe and the US
THE MALAYSIAN INSIDER
BY SA NGEETHA AM ARTHALINGAM
GEORGE TOWN: Four major investments with initial combined
funds of about RM5 billion in the
manufacturing sector, together
with a growing outsourcing and
services industry, are expected to
cushion the impact of less-thanideal external economic factors
on the state this year.
The major investments are
from four multinational corporations which are in the midst
of finalising approvals with the
authorities and are expected to
set base in the state by year end,
investPenang director Datuk Lee
Kah Choon (pic) told reporters at
the Penang economic briefing for
2015 yesterday.
“The investment horizon is
very good for Penang because
of these four investors, who will
create about 2,000 jobs for engineers, clerical and ground staff.
Two have already sourced for
factories and are hiring workers,” he said.
He declined to name the investors but said they are listed
companies from China, Europe
and the US and are corporations
in the electrical and electronics
(E&E) sector.
He said though the world economy was slowing down due to oil
price slump, which is impacting
Malaysia and weakening the ringgit, Penang is somewhat “shielded” from external forces so far.
Between 2008 and 2013,
Penang was the top capital investment receiver in the country
with an average 13% of investments in Malaysia going to the
state, Lee said, adding that between January and September
last year, a total of RM6 billion
investments was recorded.
He said the figure for capital
investment in 2014 — of which
RM2.7 billion is from domestic
investors and RM3.3 billion from
foreign investors — has already
exceeded the RM4 billion that the
state attracted in 2013.
He expects property investment in the Bayan Baru area
in terms of office rentals and
purchases to contribute to the
state’s economy in the future as
the RM11.3 billion Business Processing Outsourcing Hub is expected be up by 2024.
Lee also anticipates that investments in the services sector
would expand on the back of a
slowly shrinking manufacturing
sector.
“The manufacturing sector is
very important to Penang but it
will slow down. We believe it will
stabilise in future. When we expand the services sector, a large
portion of it will be in support of
manufacturing,” he said.
The manufacturing sector accounted for 48% of the state’s total
output of RM55 billion in 2013,
with the services sector following
closely at 47%, he said.
The state is also expecting
more global shared-services such
as Citigroup Transaction Services
Malaysia, Wilmar International Ltd, Air Asia Bhd, First Solar
Global Service and IHS Inc to
locate here, he said.
He said the manufacturing sector, particularly in the electrical
and electronics segment, benefitted from the weakening ringgit
because exports would increase
and stabilise the industry.
“We saw trade surpluses in
2014 and we expect Penang to
continue contributing to surpluses this year because of the weakening ringgit. The state budget is
also expected to remain in surplus
this year,” he said.
He stressed that though the
weakening ringgit and low crude
oil price were not exactly good
for Malaysia, they have a positive effect on Penang as it is an
export-orientated state.
“The E&E sector will benefit
from the falling ringgit, along with
the US economy rebounding. We
will continue to get foreign direct investments, although we are
mindful of the human resource
situation here. We are working
hard to balance it up.
“Tourism and medical tourism
are expected to increase with Visit
Penang Year this year,” he said,
adding that the tourism sector
contributed more than a third of
the state’s gross domestic product (GDP).
According to estimations by
the Penang Institute and extracts
from the Department of Statistics Malaysia’ Economic Report
2014/2015 for Penang and Malaysia, Penang is expected to see
a GDP growth of 5.4% to the nation’s 5.5% this year.
Petronas to step up diesel exports this year
SINGAPORE: Malaysia’s Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas)
has stepped up its diesel exports in January and will continue to do so through the rest
of this year after it took full
control of a joint-venture refinery in Malacca, traders said
yesterday.
The state-owned oil and gas
firm will export an additional 600,000 to 900,000 barrels
of diesel a month on top of its
current 900,000 to 1.2 million
barrels a month, they said.
Petronas bought 47% of
Malaysian Refining Company
(MRC) from Phillips 66 Asia Ltd,
a subsidiary of US energy company Phillips 66, late last year.
It will take over exports of
oil products from Phillips 66
and hence increase its overall
exports of diesel, traders said.
MRC operates one of two
crude distillation units (CDU)
in Petronas’ 200,000 barrelsper-day refining complex in the
southwestern state of Malacca,
which mainly processes sour
crude.
Petronas operates the other
CDU, which mainly processes
sweet crude.
Traders expect the impact on
Asian gasoil margins to be muted as the overall export volumes
of the oil product will remain
unchanged. — Reuters
EC approves Sime
Darby’s RM5.6b New
Britain Palm Oil buy
BY G H O C H E E Y UA N
KUALA LUMPUR: The European
Commission (EC) has approved
Sime Darby Bhd’s takeover offer for New Britain Palm Oil Ltd
(NBPOL).
Sime Darby (fundamental: 1.3;
valuation: 1.3) said in a filing with
Bursa Malaysia yesterday that it
had obtained the clearance for the
European Union (EU) merger filing for the privatisation of UK and
Papua New Guinea-listed NBPOL.
“The condition of the EU merger filing has now been fulfilled,”
Sime Darby said, adding that the
NBPOL offer had been extended
until March 20 this year.
The EC said in a statement on
its website that it had approved
the NBPOL acquistion under EU
merger regulations.
The regulator said it had approved the exercise as the NBPOL
acquisition was not expected to
result in competition concerns.
“The proposed acquisition
would not raise competition concerns given particularly the parties’ geographic complementarity
within the EU and the presence of
other suppliers of palm oil products,” the commission said.
To recap, Sime Darby in October last year, via its wholly-owned
unit Sime Darby Plantation Sdn
Bhd, proposed to buy the entire stake in NBPOL for £7.15
(RM39.34) a share or £1.07 billion cash.
However, Sime Darby extended the offer period as it needed
to fulfill several conditions such
as obtaining the EC’s declaration
that the offer was compatible with
the internal market.
The privatisation of NBPOL will
see Sime Darby delisting NBPOL
from the UK bourse.
The acquisition of NBPOL includes Kulim (M) Bhd’s 48.97%
stake in NBPOL.
In December 2014, Kulim
shareholders at the company’s
extraordinary general meeting
approved the NBPOL stake sale
to Sime Darby.
Following Kulim shareholders’
approval, Sime Darby said it had
secured 58.7% of NBPOL’s voting
shares as at Dec 3, 2014.
This means Sime Darby had
then fulfilled the condition of securing at least 51% of NBPOL’s
voting rights for the takeover offer
to materialise.
The EC’s consent for Sime Darby’s NBPOL purchase represented
another milestone as the market
anticipated that the takeover offer
would become unconditional.
Sime Darby shares closed up
two sen at RM9.55 yesterday, giving it a market capitalisation of
RM59.32 billion.

BY ME E N A L A K S H A N A
KUALA LUMPUR: RHB Asset Management Sdn Bhd aims to grow its
assets under management (AUM)
to RM58 billion by year-end, with
Malaysia expected to be the largest
contributor to the growth.
RHB Asset chief executive officer
Ho Seng Yee said the group grew its
AUM to RM48.56 billion last year.
“It is a fair target for this year and
it is achievable looking at the plans
we have,” he said at a press conference after the launch of the RHBOSK Global Equity Stabiliser Fund.
“We are launching 16 funds in
Malaysia and 25 funds regionally,”
Ho said.
He said as RHB Asset had built
a strong repertoire in Malaysia, the
group expected the local equity
market to significantly contribute
to its AUM despite the volatility
seen this year.
According to Ho, RHB Asset
would leverage RHB group’s established presence, reputation and
network besides growing business
opportunities and good performance of its existing funds.

HOMERITZ CORPORATION BHD
(ALL FIGURES IN MYR MIL)
HOMERITZ CORPORATION BHD
HOMERITZ Corporation Bhd is a manufacturer
of upholstered home furniture — dining chairs,
sofas and bed frames — under Original Design
(including its own brand, Eritz) and Original
Equipment Manufacturing. About 99.3% of
its products are sold overseas to more than
50 countries. Key markets are Asia, Australia,
Europe and the US, with receivables mostly in
US dollars.
The stock is attractive for its exposure to the
strengthening US dollar, high dividend yield
and steady growth.
Revenue has grown annually from RM89.8
million in FYAug11 to RM112.9 million in FY13
while net profit increased an outsized 40% from
RM10.8 million to RM15.1 million during this
period. Operating margins have been expanding on economies of scale and increased productivity and efficiency.
For FY14, the company posted revenue of
RM127.2 million, boosted by an increase in
products sold and the strengthening US dolHOMERITZ CORPORATION BHD
lar. Net profit was RM20.3 million, a significant
33.9% increase from the previous year.
Moving forward, management is upbeat on
demand outlook.
Valuations-wise, the stock trades at a trailing 12-month P/E ratio of 11.06 times, low relative to its growth. Return on equity is high at
24.5%. It has a strong balance sheet with net
cash of RM49.3 million. This equates to 24.6
sen per share or 22.4% of the current share
price of RM1.10.
Last but not least, Homeritz offers good dividend yields. It has a minimum 40% dividend
payout policy.
The final dividend of 3.1sen for FY14 went
“ex” yesterday. This brings total dividends for
FY14 to 5.1 sen per share — up from 3.75 sen in
FY13 — or about 50% of net profit. This translates to a higher than average net yield of 4.6%.
The Edge Research rates Homeritz a Fundamental score of 1.95 out of 3 and Valuation
score of 2.10 out of 3.

MOMENTUM
P O RT F O L I O
THOSE who have been following this column
would have noticed that I have sold the last of
my remaining stock, Willowglen MSC Bhd,
last Thursday.
As you know, this Momentum Portfolio
bought stocks that were identified by a proprietary algorithm, modelled on trading volume
and price trends. Unfortunately, this 1st generation algorithm did not perform to expectations.
My portfolio did turn a small profit of
RM151, after transaction costs, and outperformed the market by 5.3%. But I was making more miss than hits. So, it was back to the
drawing board.
Come 29th Jan, there will be a new and improved 2nd generation algorithm that I believe
will do much better. Unlike the old algorithm,
this new algorithm will differentiate between
stocks that exhibit upward positive (+ve) and
downward negative (-ve) momentum.
All the stocks will be posted daily on The
Edge Markets (www.theedgemarkets.com) by
2.30 pm. The list does not constitute a buy or
sell recommendation. But I hope it will give
us a better idea of what the market is buying
and when to sell.
For those who are keen to find out more
about these stocks, a short synopsis will be
published under “Stocks with Momentum”
column in The Financial Daily the following
day. Registered users of The Edge Markets will
get a free digital copy of the business paper
delivered to their emails daily.
I will also display my transactions with a brief
commentary on the portfolio under ‘Tong’s
Momentum Portfolio’ on The Edge Markets.
I’m looking forward to the 29th. I hope you
are too. Do watch this space!

OldTown gets into
kitchen business in
China via AEC stake
THE EDGE FILE PHOTO
OldTown Bhd
(Jan 28, RM1.64)
Maintain outperform with a target price (TP) of RM1.79: In an
announcement to Bursa Malaysia, OldTown announced that it
is acquiring a 51% stake in Hong
Kong-based April Eight (China)
Ltd (AEC) from Join Dream Group
Ltd (JD) for HK$3 million (RM1.4
million), through its subsidiary,
OldTown Logistics Sdn Bhd. The
move will pave the way for OldTown to gain access to Guangzhou
Supreme Food Service Ltd, a wholly
foreign-owned subsidiary of AEC,
which is involved in central kitchen business in Guangzhou, China.
We were not surprised by the
move as the group has long indicated its intention to re-strategise and
revamp its business concept and
market positioning in China after
a less successful venture previously, which saw four outlets owned
by previous master licensee closing down. Subsequently, OldTown
opened a directly managed outlet
in China in September 2014. We
are positive on this latest move as
the central kitchen will ensure that
the products supplied to the café
outlets meet the specifications and
food safety standards. The centralised kitchen would also allow for a
more consistent delivery of quality products to the outlets while
ensuring price efficiency due to
consolidated procurement. Funding is not expected to be a problem
to the group as the consideration
of RM1.4 million is minimal to the
group’s net cash position of RM70
million.

be significantly boosted if the central kitchen can provide the thrust
for the group to penetrate the huge
Chinese market. However, at this
juncture we still adopt a wait-andsee approach in view of the challenging and competitive business
environment in China. Next quarterly financial results are set to be
announced next month and we are
expecting to see improvement in
both fast-moving consumer goods
and restaurant divisions with the
normalisation of earnings after being disrupted by temporary setbacks
in the previous quarters.
We made no changes to our forecast as the move is more supplementary in nature to its restaurant
outlet in China rather than earnings
accretive. Moreover, earnings contribution from China is insignificant
as there is only one outlet in China
as opposed to a total of 245 outlets
the group is operating in Malaysia,
Singapore and Indonesia.
We maintain our “outperform”
call, and our TP of RM1.79 based
on 14.1 times forecast financial year
ending March 31, 2016 price-earnings ratio (PER), which is below its
three-year mean PER.
The risks to our call are
worse-than-expected consumer
sentiments and a delay in expansion
plans. — Kenanga Research, Jan 28
Sasbadi quarterly results within
expectations
Sasbadi Holdings Bhd
(Jan 28, RM1.40)
Reiterate buy with a target price
(TP) of RM2.25: Sasbadi Holdings reported a first quarter for
the financial year ended Nov
30, 2014 (1QFY15) core earnings of RM1.6 million (+35.5%
quarter-on-quarter. There is no
year-on-year comparison as the
group was only listed in July 2014.
Although the group’s 1Q earnings only accounted for 9% of our
full-year earnings, we deem its
quarterly results within expectations since 1QFY15 is a seasonally
weak quarter for the group.
For its FY15 ended Aug 31, 2015
(FY15), we understand that 2Q
(December to February) is expected to post the highest quarterly sales, followed by 3Q (March
to May).
The group has declared 3 sen
interim dividend, which represents greater-than-200% payout
from its reported 1QFY15 earnings
per share (EPS) of 1.3 sen.
We understand that the higher-than-expected dividend payout
is to partly compensate shareholders for no dividends in the last FY.
We believe that the strong dividend payout also implies manage-
ment’s optimism about its earnings prospects going forward.
For now, we are maintaining
our 50% payout assumption for
FY15, which implies an attractive dividend yield of 4.8%. We
keep our earnings unchanged
pending a meeting with the management for an updated post
results. We reiterate our “buy”
call on Sasbadi based on a discounted cash flow-derived TP of
RM2.25. The stock is trading at
an undemanding valuation (10.4
times/8.2 times/6.7 times FY15
to FY17 EPS). Yield is decent at
4.8% for FY15.
The risks to our call are a sudden surge in paper costs which
represents 38% of Sasbadi’s cost
of goods sold, failure to respond
timely to changes in education
policies, and the loss of contract revenues. — AllianceDBS

RHB Capital Bhd
(Jan 28, RM7.81)
Add with a target price (TP) of
RM10.50: With merger talks called
off, RHB Capital (RHBCap) can fully
concentrate on its transformation
programme dubbed Ignite 17. In
terms of earnings growth, we expect
the lender to “outperform” most of
its peers in 2015 due to the benefits from Ignite and above-industry
loan growth.
We are positive on the implementation of the Ignite 17 transformation programme as this
would help the group improve
in the areas that it has traditionally
been weak, like Islamic banking,
treasury, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and exposure
to the mass affluent market. The
group will benefit from key initiatives like the launch of group
treasury operations, realignment
of Islamic banking, and SME business models as well as the introduction of wealth management
services in Singapore.
We think that RHBCap would
“outperform” most of its peers in
terms of earnings growth in 2015
because of: (i) its above-industry
loan growth; (ii) benefits from the
implementation of Ignite 17; and
(iii) good traction in investment
banking income.
RHBCap is projected to turn
in a healthy net profit growth of
9.7% (and earnings per share [EPS]
growth of 9.2%) in its financial year
ending Dec 31, 2015 (FY15). This
would be supported by an expected
expansion of 6.4% in net interest
income and 9.7% in non-interest
income. Cost-wise, overheads and
loan loss provisioning would rise
by 6.4% and 11.1% respectively.
The group has shelved its mergers and acquisitions plans in the
near term, including those in overseas market, given the unconducive
environment and its low valuation,
in our view. This would slow down
the pace of regional expansion in
the short term, but we believe that
it is still adamant on becoming
a regional banking group in the
longer term.
We cut our projected FY15 to
FY16 EPS and dividend discount
model-based TP (cost of equity of
11.8%; long-term growth of 4%) to
factor in the higher cost of funds.
RHBCap is rated an “add” and our
top pick for the sector given its: (i)
attractive valuation; (ii) above-industry loan growth; and (iii) expanding investment banking business. — CIMB Research, Jan27

Benalec finalising
funding options
for Tg Piai works
Benalec Holdings Bhd
(Jan 28, RM0.805)
Maintain buy with target price
(TP) of RM1.25: Yesterday, Benalec Holdings Bhd announced
on Bursa Malaysia that its Detailed
Environmental Impact Assessment
(DEIA) study for a proposed reclamation contract in Tg Piai has
been approved by the Department
of Environment (DoE) on Jan 23.
Via its 70%-owned subsidiary,
Benalec had earlier submitted the
DEIA for the Tg Piai Integrated Petroleum & Petrochemical Hub together with State Secretry, Johor
(Inc). The DEIA approval is valid
for two years from the date of the
letter of approval.
Phase 1 of the project is set to
commence next month. Its components involve the construction
of an oil terminal, a jetty, a bridge
linking the island to the mainland,
as well as dredging works.
Benalec is in the midst of finalising its funding options to kickstart reclamation works, which we
believe, could involve around 100
acres (40.46ha) to 200 acres initially.
As at Sept 30 2014, the group
was in a healthy net cash position
of approximately RM48 million.
Furthermore, there are RM312
million worth of land sales (173
acres) with sale and purchase
agreements to be progressively

recognised over the next three financial years.
More importantly, Benalec has
crossed a major milestone in the
group’s quest for repositioning Tg
Piai as a future oil hub.
Undeniably, Tg Piai’s deep water
depth and close proximity to the
Jurong Petrochemical Hub puts it
in a prime position to tap into spillover demand for oil storage from
the various multinational corporations that are currently operating
in Singapore. We nevertheless believe Benalec’s real litmus test starts
now. With the DEIA approval now
secured, investors’ attention will
naturally gravitate towards management’s ability to secure the maiden
offtakers for Tg Piai.
The group recently announced
that its binding term sheet with
1MY Strategic Oil Terminal Sdn Bhd
and the State Secretary, Johor (Inc)
has been extended by another six
months to June 11, 2015.
The deal with 1MY Strategic Oil
is for the reclamation and sale of
about 1,000 acres in Tg Piai for the
construction and operations of a
crude oil and petroleum storage
facility together with a private jetty.
We maintain our buy call on
Benalec Holdings with an unchanged fair value of RM1.25 per
share, pegged at a 45% discount
to its sum-of-parts value. — AmResearch, Jan 28

CNI was stronger than its revenue
growth of 7% y-o-y. This was contributed by improved Net Rental
Income margin to 67.7% in FY14

that management is likely to have
implemented cost saving measures
as reimbursement costs declined
14% y-o-y to RM44.9 million while
maintenance expenses slipped 6%
y-o-y to RM19 million.

Caring‘s profits squeezed by lower
selling price
Caring Pharmacy Group Bhd
(Jan 28, RM1.19)
Maintain sell with target price
of RM1: Caring Pharmacy Group
Bhd’s first half ended Nov 30,
2014 (1HFY15) revenue of
RM177.4 million (+5.8% yearon-year (y-o-y) was translated
into core net profit of RM2.6million (-63.4% yoy). Despite top
line being broadly in line, bottom line came in way below
expectations, accounting for
16.2% and 15.7% of HLIB Research and consensus full-year
estimates, respectively, due to
lower-than-expected profit margins due to lower selling prices
from market competition despite
higher volume.
Despite a satisfactory 1HFY15
revenue of RM177.4m (+5.8%
y-o-y), profit after tax and minority interest was squeezed to RM2.7
million (-62.8% y-o-y), which was
mainly due to lower economies
of scale arising from lower selling
prices in order to attract market
share, despite higher volume. It is
noticeable that Caring has been
slowing down its expansion plan
from first quarter 2015 onwards,
with only two shopping complex
outlets this quarter.
The company is now exercising more careful discretion in
outlet location to avoid trespassing competitors’ territories which
would cause damage to its sales.
This explains the slowdown in
outlet expansion observed. Another note is the closing down of
one outlet in this quarter, which
is most likely due to failure to
achieve breakeven after gestation
period. To date, Caring has a total
of 102 outlets. Caring shared that
it will relook its marketing strategies to improve sales in order to
maintain market share. It remains
confident that the company will
continue to be profitable in the
coming quarter.
The risks are the over-aggressive expansion has resulted
in margin compression which
may continue to drag earnings
growth, keen competition from
other pharmacy chains such as
Guardian and Watsons, and slowdown in consumer discretionary
spending.
The positives — established
and trusted pharmacy chain
with reliable service and competitive product pricing; full-time
registered pharmacists available throughout retail operating
hours; benefits from economies
of scale and shared services; the
only pure retail pharmacy chain
listed locally.
The negatives — higher working capital and start-up costs for
new outlets; over-aggressive expansion; intense competition
impact selling prices; shares are
tightly held resulting in relatively
low trading volumes.
We maintain sell with a lower
fair value, reflecting our earnings per share (EPS) revision.
This is derived based on unchanged multiple of 15.5 times
estimated FY16 EPS, two times
discount to the average of other
domestic market oriented retail
pharmacy chain operators in
the region. — HLIB Research,

Police, inmates
responsible for
detainee’s death
Coroner rules P Karuna Nithi died after their assault
BY V A N B A L AGA N
SEREMBAN: A coroner ruled yesterday that policemen and inmates
were responsible for the death of an
unemployed man while he was detained at the Tampin district police
headquarters in Negeri Sembilan
two years ago.
Coroner Datuk Jagjit Singh said
that P Karuna Nithi’s death was
caused by 49 multiple injuries by
blunt objects including physical
assault, abuse and unlawful acts
by persons unknown, inclusive of
police officers and other detainees
where Karuna Nithi was held.
Jagjit, who is a Sessions Court
judge in Seremban, said in his verdict
that there was failure or omission to
provide the necessary medical care
and attention that Karuna required.
“There was also failure of the police officers to stop other detainees
from abusing Karuna Nithi in the
police lock-up.”
This is the second verdict this
month where police have been
found responsible for the death
of detainees in police custody.
On Jan 16, coroner Ahmad
Bache held police responsible for
the death of lorry driver P Chandran
through their omission to provide
him with timely medical assistance.
Chandran had been detained
at the Dang Wangi police station
in Kuala Lumpur on Sept 6, 2012
and was held for four days before
his death.
Jagjit said having gone through
all the evidence, he was satisfied
that the cause of Karuna Nithi’s
death was a combination of unlawful acts and omissions by person or
persons unknown.
“The deceased was a healthy
adult with no life-threatening diseases when he entered the lock-up,
but ended up dead three days later
with 49 external injuries,” he said.
He said a custodial death with
that number of injuries should have
“rung alarm bells from the word go”.
Jagjit said he rejected the evidence of forensic pathologist Dr
Sharifah Safoorah Syed Alwee after
extensive examination of the shortcomings in her testimony.
“She had erroneously found that
the cause of death was due to ‘fatty
change in the liver’. But this cannot
be so when the deceased had 49
external injuries,” he said.
Jagjit said CCTV footages from
the police station clearly revealed
Karuna Nithi was beaten by other
inmates and the cops on duty were
privy to what happened.
He said some policemen had
also contributed to the beating,
harassment and bullying based on
evidence adduced from the CCTV.
Jagjit admitted that Karuna Nithi
was a difficult detainee, adding “but
that was no reason to ill-treat him”.
“He was repeatedly transferred
from one cell to another because he
was having hallucinations, raving
and ranting,” he added.
The judge said a policeman also
testified that Karuna Nithi’s welfare was neglected because it was
thought that he was only pretending to be sick while in the lock-up.
Lawyer Eric Paulsen, who appeared for the family of Karuna
Nithi, said this was yet another
landmark verdict of which the authorities must take serious notice.
“The judge reiterated a Court of
Appeal ruling last year that not a
single person should die in a police
lock-up. This is also a small victory
for human rights,” added Eric, who
is also executive director for Lawyers for Liberty.
Co-counsel Dr Dheeraj Bhar, who
was a medical doctor, said the rejection of Sharifah’s evidence had to do
with her credibility as a professional.
“I hope the Malaysian Medical
Council will look into this in light
of what the judge concluded,” he
added. — The Malaysian Insider
MIC veep: Palanivel must hold
crisis meeting within 24 hours
KUALA LUMPUR: MIC vice-president Datuk M Saravanan urged
party president Datuk Seri G Palanivel to hold an emergency Central
Working Committee (CWC) meeting within 24 hours.
He said the meeting was important to clarify the validity of his
sacking as Federal Territory MIC
Liaison Committee chairman.
“Palanivel issued a statement
that I was sacked yesterday (Tuesday) evening and I received a message from him later at night telling
me to continue holding the post.
“When I entered the MIC headquarters this morning, I was obstructed by 20 gangsters who handed me my letter of termination
signed by Palanivel. I am confused,”
he told a media conference at the
MIC headquarters here yesterday.
On Tuesday, Palanivel appointed Datuk Rajoo Vyraperumal as
Federal Territory MIC Liaison Committee chief to replace Saravanan.
He also appointed Tan Sri
Ramasamy Muthusamy as Perak
MIC Liaison Committee chairman
to replace himself (Palanivel), while
Datuk Ganesan Arumugam took
over from Datuk S Sothinathan
as Negeri Sembilan MIC Liaison
Committee chairman.
Saravanan also stressed that if
Palanivel failed to hold the emergency meeting, then he would hold
an emergency meeting with the
support of 15 CWC members.
He also said he would ask Prime
Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, as
Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman,
to solve the MIC crisis if Palanivel
did not quickly do so.
The Malaysian Insider reported
that a press conference to disclose
more details on MIC’s internal fighting took a dramatic turn earlier yesterday when an anonymous caller
at the start of the event threatened
to kill deputy president Datuk Seri
Dr S Subramaniam and Saravanan.
The threat came in a phone call
to Saravanan, who had requested a
press conference at the party headquarters here. Several other party
members and media personnel had
already gathered for the briefing
scheduled for 1pm on the second
floor of the building.
While waiting for the press
conference to start, Saravanan
answered a call and the caller
threatened to shoot him and Subramaniam.
Saravanan put the call on loudspeaker and the person making the
threat could be heard speaking in
Bahasa Malaysia.
In response, Saravanan said:
“Mari MIC HQ boleh jumpa saya
dan tembak saya” (Come to the
MIC headquarters, you can meet
me and shoot me).
Saravanan and Subramaniam
have been urging Palanivel to act
swiftly in responding to the Registrar
of Societies’ findings that the elections of its CWC members in 2013
were problematic, and that fresh
polls should be held. — Bernama
Datum Jelatek project to
proceed despite protests
BY MD IZ WA N
KUALA LUMPUR: The Datum
Jelatek project in Taman Keramat,
Selangor, will be built as planned
despite protests against it, says the
developer which has again dismissed claims by nearby residents
that the predominantly Malay area
will turn into a “Chinese district”.
DatumCorp International chief
operating officer Shytul Shahryn
Mohamad Shaari told The Malaysian Insider that the project will
continue without further delay,
even if more protests are planned.
“Disturbances like this are normal,
but as what Perbadanan Kemajuan
Negeri Selangor (PKNS) has said before, we will proceed with the work as
it is beneficial to the people,” he said.
The RM1.2 billion project, which
was started in 2008 on a 2.4ha plot
of land next to the Jelatek light rail
transit station, comprises four
blocks of luxury condominiums,
offices, a hotel and shopping centre.
The condos are to be built on the
former site of four blocks of PKNS
flats owned mostly by Malays, which
were demolished in late 2010.
The project received planning
approval in November 2011 from
the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council, but had been postponed several
times over a variety of issues.
The latest protest on Sunday was
by far the most rowdy when some
100 people turned aggressive and
broke into the construction site.
The angry residents began
marching towards the site before
proceeding to tear down the zinc
barrier surrounding it, with several
protesters trespassing into the site.
However, police managed to
bring the situation under control
and the crowd soon dispersed.
“The issue of Malays being sidelined does not arise [as] the news
was untrue, such as the sale of one
or two blocks to foreign parties.
That never happened,” said Shytul.
Shytul clarified that sales were
done by DatumCorp, clarifying
that not a single unit had been
sold to anyone, nor had any money been collected.
“We only have a list of interested buyers,” he told The Malaysian
Insider.
The developer had earlier said
1,097 bumiputera buyers had registered their interest to buy 674 units
in the project.
Commenting on Sunday’s incident, he explained that the developer had already met with residents in
the area and claimed the majority
of them had reacted positively to
the project.
“I can guarantee that Keramat
residents were not directly involved
in the latest demonstrations as we
had already met with them in stages. — The Malaysian Insider

Bestinet denies increasing
visa handling fee
PUTRAJAYA: Bestinet Sdn Bhd, the
solution provider for the Foreign
Workers Centralised Management
System (FWCMS), has denied that
it is responsible for the steep increase in the visa processing fee
for Indonesian workers.
Bestinet in a statement yesterday
said the holistic system was transparent, efficient and convenient.
It was also beneficial to all stakeholders involved in hiring foreign
workers, especially employers, foreign workers themselves, insurance
providers and government agencies
in Malaysia as well as in the source
countries, said the statement.
“As such, Bestinet reiterates that
the visa processing issue in Indonesia does not have anything to do
with the company,” it said.
FWCMS is a multi-touch point
system, involving a full-fledged web-
based online management system
backed by a secure data processing
management infrastructure developed for the government of Malaysia.
The statement said the two major modules under the FWCMS
— bio-medical and electronic application for Visa with Reference
(eVDR) — were fully operational
from Jan 15.
It said the bio-medical module
was implemented in the source
countries, whereas eVDR was implemented in Peninsular Malaysia.
“With the implementation of
eVDR, the application of VDR is
made online and the [time] for the
visa approval is significantly shortened,” said the statement.

Consult parents on new
Child Act, says group
Ministry should also take into account Islamic views and Malaysian culture
KUALA LUMPUR: Parents must be
consulted when the new Child Act
is being drawn up, a non-governmental organisation told Putrajaya,
after an uproar erupted over its proposal to outlaw caning of minors.
Ikram Malaysia women’s wing
chief Datin Paduka Che Asmah
Ibrahim said the Women, Family and Community Development
Ministry’s plan to enact a new Child
Act should take into account Islamic views as well as Malaysian
culture.
She added that parents and the
public had to be educated to ensure the welfare of children was
protected.
“Parents need to understand
about disciplining and punishing
their kids. Discipline means setting
a limit on all aspects of life and has
to be inculcated among children
from young. This is aimed at ensuring a harmonious life and not
to scare, or worse, abuse children,”
she said in a statement yesterday.
Che Asmah said people, especially parents, needed to understand that although caning is
mentioned in Islam as a form of
punishment, it cannot be used arbitrarily.
Talks on for
Asean common
time zone
KOTA KINABALU: Asean will continue to consider a common time
zone for Asean capitals, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah
Aman.
Speaking to reporters after
chairing the Asean Foreign Ministers’ Retreat here yesterday, he said
the matter was discussed during
the meeting as “there were many
strong reasons to have a common
time zone”.
“This is not a new idea. This
was brought up by our leaders, as
early as 1995, and they discussed
it again around 2004. With Asean
forming an integrated and cohesive community by the end of this
year, we believe a common time
zone for Asean capitals is an idea
worth considering,” he said.
Among the benefits of a common time zone are strengthening
business links and inter-governmental cooperation among Asean
and Asian countries. A common
time zone will allow more time for
communication purposes, tally
stock market activities, enhance
airlines operational systems and
upgrade business and banking
linkages around the Asian region.
Malaysia has taken over the
Asean chairmanship for 2015 from
Myanmar. — Bernama
Che Asmah says parents
need to understand
that although caning is
mentioned in Islam as a
form of punishment, it
cannot be used arbitrarily.
Citing an example, she said caning should not be administered to
minors below 10 years old.
“Caning children who are not
matured in thinking and unable
to comprehend the implications
of their actions is a form of abuse.
“Caning should also be the last
effort to discipline after all others
have failed.”
She said efforts to increase
awareness of children’s welfare
should be done continuously and
stern action has to be imposed on
those found neglecting children.
Besides that, she said discussions needed to be held with religious agencies, experts in physiology and related non-governmental
organisations (NGOs) to obtain a
comprehensive view on the proposed law.
She added that any amendments
to the new Child Act should not
solely adhere to the Convention
on the Rights of the Child, to which
Malaysia is a signatory.
Women, Family and Community
Development Minister Datuk Seri
Rohani Abdul Karim’s recent statement that caning a child could be
an offence under the new Act raised
a storm of protests from politicians
and NGOs who had pressed for a
review of the proposal.
The ministry clarified that it did
not mean to outlaw all forms of caning of children and that instead, the
proposal would see a more detailed
provision on actions, including
caning, which cause physical or
mental injuries to children.
“The ministry is studying and
scrutinising the proposal so that
the legislation will cover all acts
against children causing physical
and emotional injuries deemed as
criminal offences which could be
punishable with heftier imprisonment or fines.
“Besides, the ministry is also
considering alternative punishment such as community service or
counselling or parenting courses,”
said the statement issued by the
ministry’s corporate communications unit on Monday.
Meanwhile, Sisters in Islam said
the Quran and Sunnah prioritised
justice and love among families and
prohibited cruelty and use of force.
“Justifying the use of force in the
name of religion gives a negative
image to Islam. We believe using
soft approaches to discipline children is better than using force,” it
said in a statement.
The NGO said Islam, as a universal religion, is flexible when it
comes to changes, and this included education and children psychology. — The Malaysian Insider
Don’t declare MH370 lost
without evidence — families
KUALA LUMPUR: As the one year
mark of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 draws near, families of those on board said they will
not accept any declaration that the
plane is lost without proof.
Families and representatives of
those on the aircraft that went missing on March 8 last year said they
were concerned about recent rumours that Malaysia is set to make a
major announcement on the plane’s
disappearance today.
“We have stated it before and reiterate again, that we are prepared
for any eventuality, including the
fact that our loved ones may never
come back.
“However, almost all families are
unanimous in our stand that we do
not want to declare our loved ones
dead, without a shred of evidence,”
the support group called Voice 370,
said in a press statement yesterday.
Flight MH370 went off course en
route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing
with 238 people on board. A costly
and massive search for the plane in
the southern Indian Ocean off the
coast of western Australia is still
being conducted.
The support group for the families
said they had referred the rumour
of the impending announcement
to the Joint Action Coordination
Centre (JACC), the Australia-led
body conducting the search.
They said the JACC had assured
them that the ongoing search was
progressing according to plan and
that one third of the area had been
covered.
The support group added that
JACC had also assured them that
there would be no let-up until the
60,000 sq km targeted under the
first phase was searched.
“In a further proactive measure,
they are taking steps to prepare for
recovery in the event that the search
finds evidence of the plane, to ensure little time is lost.
“Therefore, we are perplexed as
to why the Malaysian authorities
are jumping the gun in wanting to
make any announcements, while
the search is a long way from completion,” the group said.
The families said the least they
expected of the Malaysian authorities was for them to wait for the
completion of the first phase of
the search before making any announcement.
They also chided Malaysia for
their uncaring attitude with the
timing of the announcement, given that it was close to the Chinese
lunar new year festival next month
and with a majority of the victims
being Chinese.
“What we appeal for is assurance from the Chinese, Malaysian
and Australian authorities that the
search will not be abandoned anytime soon,” the group said.
They also appealed to aviation
organisations such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation
(ICAO) and the International Air
Transport Association to support
them by urging the relevant authorities to continue the search for the
missing plane and their loved ones.
An interim report on the investigation into MH370 is due to be
released by Malaysia’s Department
of Civil Aviation on March 7, a day
before the first anniversary of the
plane’s disappearance, according
to a Reuters report.
This is reportedly to abide by a
requirement from the ICAO for Malaysia to release an interim report
on the anniversary of the incident.
Voice 370 also said yesterday that
neither the Malaysian authorities
nor MAS had acknowledged “their
existence as a family support group”,
but that the Australian authorities
had recognised and dealt with them
as such. — The Malaysian Insider
Malaysia to
release MH370
report one
day before
anniversary
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will
release an interim report on its investigation into Malaysia Airlines
(MAS) flight MH370 on March 7, a
day before the first anniversary of
the jet’s mysterious disappearance,
an official said yesterday.
However, Deputy Transport
Minister Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi
(pic) declined comment on whether
the report would contain any revelations on the fate of the MAS jet.
“It is a report by the investigation
team. It will be a lengthy report of a
few hundred pages,” he said.
The report is being compiled
and released by the Department
of Civil Aviation and is required
by the International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO) one year after
air accidents, he said.
Flight MH370 vanished on
March 8 of last year with 239 passengers and crew aboard en route
from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in
what remains one of history’s great
aviation mysteries.
Malaysian authorities say satellite data indicate the plane inexplicably detoured to the remote southern Indian Ocean, and “deliberate”
on-board action is suspected. But
no firm evidence has turned up yet
despite an ongoing Australia-led
search of the supposed crash region — the most expensive search
and rescue operation in history.
Malaysia launched various investigations into the affair but has
so far released no information on
any findings. Malaysian authorities
released a report required by the
ICAO a few weeks after the incident
last year, but it contained little that
was not already known.
Some next of kin bitterly accuse
the Malaysian government and its
flag carrier of a chaotic and bungled response to the plane’s initial
diversion that allowed the jet to disappear. They continue to maintain
that the truth is being covered up.
Those charges have been strenuously denied.
Various theories have floated
on what happened to the plane
including hijack, rogue pilot action, mechanical malfunction or
a catastrophic event that disabled
the cockpit crew. But no clues have
emerged to bolster any of the scenarios. — AFP

Experts: More
floods like those
in Kelantan
Due to global warming, deforestation and lack of enforcement
BY SHERI DA N MAHAV ERA
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will see
more severe floods like those that displaced more than 100,000 people in
Kelantan recently due to a combination of global warming, deforestation
and the lack of enforcement.
This was the conclusion of experts
at a forum in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday night to discuss the Kelantan
floods. They argued that all three
factors turned what is an annual occurrence into a national disaster.
The extraordinary rainfall that
Kelantan experienced in the span of
three to four days, said meteorology
expert Dr Liew Ju Neng, was due to a
tropical climate element called the
Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO).
The MJO originates from the Indian Ocean and passes through Malaysia four times a year, said Liew,
who is from Universiti Kebangsaan
Malaysia.
When it comes in contact with
the northeast monsoon that hits the
peninsula at the end of the year, it will
cause more than usual rain, he said
at the forum titled “Kelantan floods:
Coincidence or fate?”
The MJO increases the amount
of easterly winds which carry more
moisture and this leads to the monsoon dumping more rain than usual
when it passes through the peninsula.
On Jan 4, Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said that during the height of
the floods, there were two days when
the amount of rain was equivalent to
the total that Kelantan experienced
for a month last year.
Liew said although the MJO travels through Malaysia four times a
year, extreme storms only happen
when they hit other climate phenomena such as the monsoon.
“Since the 1970s, MJOs are becoming more active. Due to global
warming, MJOs have increased by
40% to 50%. So in the next 30 to 40
years, we will see the MJO passing
through six times a year.”
The increased frequency of MJOs
will lead to more extreme storms,
which can cause floods to be more
severe. The massive floods in Johor
in 2006 and 2007 which had been
caused by extraordinary rainfall were
also due to the MJO, said Liew.
The forum was organised by youth
group Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia
(SAMM), one of the many non-governmental organisations which have
helped collect and deliver aid to
flood-hit areas in Kelantan.
Rantau Panjang MP Siti Zailah
Mohd Yusoff said it is estimated that
the floods caused RM2 billion in
damages while 2,500 houses were
destroyed in Kelantan alone. Twelve
lives were lost.
The floods that also hit Perak,
Terengganu and Pahang at the end of
last year collectively affected 200,000
residents.
Both Putrajaya and the Kelantan government have been blamed
for not being adequately prepared
for relief operations, as seen in how
whole communities were cut off for
days without food, clothes and the
possibility of rescue.
Sharmila Ariffin of environmental
group Sahabat Alam Malaysia explained that another factor which
worsened floods was the clear-cutting of forests to establish plantations. She said Kelantan was losing
its forests at the highest rate in the
peninsula.
The high rate of deforestation was
due to the creation of timber plantations within permanent forest reserves in Kelantan. In 2014 alone, the
state had about 162,000ha of land
classified as timber plantations.
Although Kelantan has the highest growth rate of timber plantations
in the peninsula, said Sharmila, the
federal government also has a policy
of encouraging plantations all over
the country.
The problem with clear-cutting
forests, said drainage expert Datuk
Fuad Abdul Rahman, is that it exposes topsoil, which runs off and chokes
rivers with sediment.
“When you lose topsoil and
ground vegetation, the land is not
able to absorb rain,” said Fuad, who is
former deputy director-general of the
drainage and irrigation department.
The floods in Kelantan, said forum
moderator Badrul Hisham Shahrin,
was an opportunity for the country
to reflect and become aware of how
such a disaster happened and how
to prevent it from recurring.
The lessons from Kelantan could
be applied to the whole country. As a
SAMM volunteer from the audience
put it: “God should not be blamed
for these floods.”— The Malaysian

Cartoonist Zunar’s office raided,
books seized
PETALING JAYA: Police raided
the office of political cartoonist
Zulkiflee Anwar Alhaque, or Zunar, yesterday and seized copies
of his books.
The artist, who is in London,
tweeted: “Police in my office,
looking for me. But I currently
in London. So they are taking all
my books.”
It is still unclear if the raid and
seizures are related to an ongoing
police investigation against Zunar,
who in 2010 was detained for two
days under the Sedition Act. He
currently faces possible charges
under the same act.
One of his earlier tweets dated
Jan 26 said he was due to speak
at the University of Oxford and
University of Cambridge. He also
tweeted that he gave a talk entitled “To fight through cartoons” in
London, in an event organised by
the Monsoons Book Club.
Two policemen had come to
Zunar’s office, which shares the
same premises as PKR’s official
party newsletter, Suara Keadilan,
yesterday at around 10.30am.According to a staff member working
at Suara Keadilan, those working
in the office did not cooperate
when asked to give statements
by the officers. At 11.15am, four
more police officers came and
began asking questions and seizing the books, the worker told The
Malaysian Insider.
Zunar tweeted again yesterday afternoon that 149 books
had been seized. They were both
the English and Bahasa Malaysia versions of Conspiracy to Imprison Anwar and Pirates of the
Carry-BN.
In another tweet, he criticised
the police’s actions, saying “Kalau
kartun dirasa fitnah, silakan orang
yg terasa itu kemuka saman sivil.
Tiada masalah. Saya bantah guna
undang2 jenayah spt akta hasutan.” (If the cartoons are defamatory, those who feel aggrieved
should file a civil suit. No problem. I oppose the use of criminal
laws like the Sedition Act.) — The

UTP first M’sian university to use
Cambridge admissions testing
KUALA LUMPUR: Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) signed
a memorandum of agreement
(MoA) with Admissions Testing
Service (ATS), University of Cambridge, yesterday to provide assessment tools and services related to the selection of applicants
for UTP’s foundation and undergraduate programmes.
UTP vice-chancellor Datuk Dr
Abdul Rahim Hashim signed the
MoA on behalf of UTP, while ATS
was represented by its director, Simon Beeston. Education Minister
II Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh witnessed
the ceremony.
Abdul Rahim said that the collaboration with the University of
Cambridge will take UTP one step
closer to becoming the first university in Malaysia to implement
the Thinking Skills Assessment
(TSA) and Cambridge Personal
Styles Questionnaire (CPSQ).
“The signing of the MoA today (yesterday) is a step towards
establishing a better climate that
offers tailored assessment services
to support selection and recruitment for educational institutions,”
said Abdul Rahim.
“UTP takes pride in nurturing
students who are not only technically competent, but who are
also able to exercise the ability
to think critically and synthesise
solutions for real world problems, hence the TSA and CPSQ
assessments are in tandem with
the university’s objective to produce well-rounded graduates,”
he said.
“UTP has been awarded the
highest rating possible with regard
to employability, internationalisation and innovation to name but
three,” said Beeston. — Bernama
Indonesian agencies threaten to stop sending workers
KUALA LUMPUR: Indonesian employment agency operators have
threatened to stop sending workers to Malaysia following a drastic
hike in visa processing fees under
a new system outsourced to Bestinet Sdn Bhd.
An English daily reported that
Malaysian visa fees for Indonesians
had been increased from RM15 to
RM250 under the foreign workers
centralised management system
(FWCMS), which Putrajaya has outsourced to Bestinet, a private firm
now in the limelight because of its
directors who are closely linked to
the federal government.
The English daily said Asosiasi
Perusahaan Jasa Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (Apjati), the body that represents over 500 employment agencies, has written to the Indonesian
Parliament as well as the republic’s
human resources and foreign ministries, urging an immediate halt on
sending workers to Malaysia.
“We strongly reject the increase
in fees. It is an exploitation of our
citizens. Such an increase must be
done through an agreement between both governments.
“Malaysia should have negotiated with our government first,”
Apjati president Ayub Basalamah
was quoted as saying.
“What is worse is that, in addition
to paying the new RM230 processing
fee, the previous RM15, and other
minor charges, we have to provide
details of our workers to a private
company instead of to the Malaysian embassy.”
The additional fees are a “huge
burden” to Indonesians looking to
either work or study in Malaysia,
he added.

looking to either work or study in Malaysia, said Ayub. Photo by The Malaysian Insider
The daily said Apjati is the largest association of private recruitment agencies in Indonesia, with
its members sending more than
150,000 Indonesians to work in Ma-
laysia each year. The hikes mean an
additional cost of about RM34.5
million per year.
Indonesians wanting to work or
study in Malaysia are required to ap-
ply for a visa with reference or more
popularly known as a “calling visa”.
With the exception of domestic
maids, the visa fees are borne by
the Indonesian workers and not by
their employers.
The daily cited Malaysian ambassador to Indonesia Datuk Seri
Zahrain Mohamed Hashim as saying that the embassy had been instructed by the home ministry to
outsource the visa processing.
Zahrain was quoted acknowledging the complaints about higher visa fees from worker groups as
well as students wanting to study
in Malaysia, since the new system
took effect in December. He said
the steep increase in fees was “fair”
as the company had to cover costs,
which included conducting background checks to prevent fraud. —

Benefits of oil price fall
Positive effects on PMI indicators and retail sales expected — analysts
BY JAMES SAFT
E
conomies and investors, having suffered
the pain of the tumble
in energy prices, may
soon start to see more
of the benefits.
While markets were quick to
price in the negative effects of falling oil prices on producing countries and companies alike, the
benefits, both to consumers and
economies as a whole, take longer
to arrive.
Brent crude oil prices have tumbled nearly 60% since June to below US$50 (RM180.50) per barrel,
claiming several high-profile victims in the process.
Russia, highly dependent on oil
earnings and suffering from the effects of sanctions over its conduct
in Ukraine, has seen its currency
and stock market tumble. Highyield bonds, a sector with a heavy
concentration of the more specu-
lative oil companies, have fallen
markedly.
Sagging energy prices have also
likely contributed to lower global interest rates, put downward
pressure on inflation in major
economies and may be influencing central banks to keep money
conditions easier than they might
otherwise.
“The effects of the oil price decline are being priced in now, for
example in the Russian currency,
the share price of UK oil companies and the energy sector of the
US high-yield debt market,” Keith
Skeoch, chief executive officer of
Edinburgh-based Standard Life Investments, wrote in a note to clients.
“So on balance we conclude that
supply side rather than demand
side factors are more important,
and into spring 2015 we should start
to see the more beneficial effects
of cheaper energy feed through in
consumer spending and non-oil
corporate investment.”
The worry has always been that
the tumble in oil presaged a more
general downturn in the global
economy, which has happened
in the past.
Though demand is slowing rapidly, notably in China and weaker
parts of the eurozone, other factors argue against interpreting the
energy tumble as a warning sign.
For one thing, broader commodity prices, while retreating, have
fallen only about half as much as
oil, a point not consistent with a
generalised downturn in demand.
At the same time, new supplies
of oil have been coming online,
made possible by new technology
that has been seeping into the market for years, and the Saudi decision
not to tighten supply.
Overall, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that the
fall in energy prices is 60% attributable to supply issues.
Now we get to the good part.
Both the IMF and World Bank
have recently revised down their
global growth forecasts for 2015.
Both agree, however, that cheaper
petrol at the pump and energy for
factories will give a boost to growth.
The IMF sees an extra 0.7 per-
centage point of growth this year
and 0.8 percentage point in 2016,
while the World Bank sees about a
half a percentage point extra over
the “medium term”.
Analysts at Barclays Bank looked
at the five similar oil price declines
of the past 30 years and found that
while they tended to happen as
growth was slowing, a rebound
comes six to nine months after the
decline in prices.
“We expect to see positive effects
on PMI indicators and retail sales
in coming months, which in itself
should strengthen markets’ belief in
the beneficial global growth effects
of lower oil prices,” Christian Keller
and Apolline Menut of Barclays
wrote in a note to clients.
This may be particularly true
in the United States, where due
to lower energy taxes, more of the
impact of cheaper energy will drop
directly into consumers’ pockets.
Think of a fall in energy prices as
being a bit like quantitative easing
(QE) for Main Street.
QE drives up the price of financial assets owned mostly by the
well-heeled, who are not likely to
increase consumption. But cheaper
petrol and lower utility bills spread
their benefit more widely among
middle-class workers who have
seen their incomes fail to rise in
step with the better-off, and are far
more likely to spend the proceeds.
To be clear, the losers, from Russia to Venezuela to the Dakotas,
will continue to suffer, and capital
investment and spending will be
hit selectively.
Eventually, marginal energy
production will come off-line and
planned investment shelved, meaning that some time in 2016 we likely
will see energy prices rise again.
Until then, we will see tangible
benefits: better spending and investment in major economies and
lower interest rates than we would
otherwise have enjoyed.
It looks like a bit of the right kind
of deflation, if only for a time. —

Why Russia’s economy will not collapse
BY C H A RL ES WY PLO SZ
THE rapid depreciation of the ruble,
despite a dramatic — and seemingly
desperate — late-night interest-rate
hike by the Central Bank of Russia
(CBR) last month, has raised the spectre of Russia’s economic meltdown in
1998. Indeed, the West has sought to
animate that specter in its ongoing
confrontation with Russian President
Vladimir Putin. But, though Russia’s
economy is undoubtedly in trouble,
a full-blown collapse is unlikely.
Oil and gas account for more than
60% of Russia’s exports; other primary commodities make up much of
the rest. Given this, the recent sharp
decline in world oil prices obviously represents a major shock — large
enough, when combined with the
effect of increasingly strict Western
sanctions — to provoke a sizeable
recession. To make matters worse,
commodity prices are expected to
remain low for some time. In that
case, the income loss would become
much more than a temporary setback.
But Russia is no economic basket-case-in-waiting — at least not
yet. The situation today is very different from that in 1998, when Russia was running twin fiscal and
current-account deficits. Russia
needed to borrow, and it was borrowing heavily in foreign currency.
This meant that as the ruble depreciated, Russia’s debts rose. Eventually, default became inevitable.
By contrast, in recent years, Russia
has enjoyed a sizeable budget surplus, and public debt is below 20%
Although the Russian currency has fallen, government income in rubles remains approximately unchanged. Photo by Reuters
of gross domestic product (GDP). It
is true that income from oil and gas,
which represents the bulk of government revenue, has been halved
when measured in US dollars. But the
Russian currency has fallen by about
the same percentage, meaning that
the government’s income in rubles
remains approximately unchanged.
Similarly, Russia’s current-account
balance has been mostly in surplus
in recent years. Gross public and private external debt is below 40% of
GDP, and much of it is denominated in rubles. The sharp fall in export
income is rapidly changing the situation, but Russia is starting from a
comfortable position. To panic would
be premature.
The ruble’s free fall has been
driven mainly by capital outflows.
Russia’s famous oligarchs have already stashed most of their wealth
abroad, but they retain significant
savings at home. As the economic
and political situation deteriorates,
they are most likely pulling more
money out. Small savers have every
reason to switch to foreign currency as well.
This has put the CBR in a challenging position. The ruble’s depreciation is bound to fuel inflation,
already around 11% and far above
the CBR’s 5% target. In that context,
raising the interest rate sharply
makes sense, and officials may be
hoping that the hike will stem cap-
ital outflows — despite the risk that
the decision, if interpreted as being
aimed at defending the currency,
could have the opposite effect.
The trouble is that the higher interest rates are bound to deepen Russia’s
economic downturn, making the CBR
an easy scapegoat. Never mind that
the central bank is not responsible
for Russia’s troubles — the run on the
ruble, the recession and the flare-up
of inflation — and that using interest
rates to prevent capital outflows always fails. Embattled politicians can
be counted on to point the finger.
The threat to Putin is clear. He
risks the fate of his predecessor, Boris
Yeltsin, who presided during a period of unusually low oil prices. Until
now, Putin has been lucky, coming to
power just as oil prices started to rise.
Most Russian citizens credit him with
two decades of rising living standards,
following decades of decline.
Putin’s decision not to implement the unpopular reforms that
would have created a strong nonoil export sector may have been
bad for the economy’s long-term
health, but it has allowed him to
maintain widespread public support. His economic good fortune,
combined with his readiness to
stand up to the West, has created
a misguided impression in Russia
that the country is, once again, a
world power.
Many in the United States and
Europe believe that ratcheting
up economic pressure on Russia
will help drive Putin out. This is
an enormously dangerous gamble. As Russian living standards
decline, Putin’s only viable strategy to remain in power will be an
aggressive international posture.
Foreign military adventures, after
all, are most appealing when the
domestic front is on fire.
None of this means that the West
should bow and forsake its principles. But it does mean that the
time has come for a diplomatic
approach that does not depend on
the prospect of Russia’s economic
collapse. — Project Syndicate

Opening up resale opportunities
Foreign investors get an insight into Australian real estate at seminar
BY C EC I L I A C H OW
D
ominique Grubisa, founder and
chief executive officer of Australian
Investment & Migration, spoke at
her first property investment seminar in Asia last year. It was in Kuala
Lumpur. “The response wasn’t what
I thought,” she says. “It was much
bigger in terms of high-net worth
clients. I didn’t expect to see that
kind of wealth.”
Grubisa even opened an office
in Singapore last September, and
intends to open another in Hong
Kong later this year. She was in
Penang last Tuesday, and flew to
Singapore to give a talk to a packed
audience later that evening. She
will be speaking at a conference in
Singapore in March, followed by another in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Having made a name for herself
in the educational property seminar circuit in cities across Australia,
Grubisa is now lending her expertise to Asian investors who want to
get a foothold in Australian real
estate. She started Global Property
Education last June, and renamed
the company Australian Investments & Migration in December.
In Australia, Grubisa has built
her reputation as a debt and commercial law specialist over the past
two decades, as a practising barrister since 1996 and, prior to that,
as a solicitor since 1994. As a legal
practitioner, she also carries a licence as a migration agent. Grubisa
has a formidable rolodex of contacts
in banking and finance as well as the
real estate industry. She is the author
of books such as Real Estate Riches
Down Under: How to Make a Fortune
Investing in the Australian Property
Market and Managing Debt: Turning
Your Finances Around.
She is sceptical about developers
who hold property investment seminars in Asia. “The developers disguise them as educational, but they
are not,” she says. The fact that she
is not a property agent or developer
“flogging” a property development is
an advantage to foreign investors. “I
can better advise them if it’s a good or
bad investment, but they will still have
to do due diligence,” she explains.
‘Off-plan’
Currently, in Australia, foreigners are
allowed to buy only new properties
sold off-plan by developers or new
properties that have been approved
by the Foreign Investment Review
Board (FIRB). Foreigners are not allowed to buy pre-owned property in
Australia. And when they sell their
property in the secondary market,
they can sell only to Australian citizens or permanent residents.
According to Grubisa, however,
developments sold off-plan are
not the only things that foreigners
can have access to. “But [off-plan
developments] are the only things
that can be legally marketed here
in Asia,” she explains. “Such pro-

jects make up less than 1% of the
property in Australia. So, it’s just
the tip of the iceberg.”
Grubisa recalls speaking to a
banker who related the anecdote
of a foreigner who paid A$1 million
(RM2.89 million) for an apartment
purchased off-plan only to find that
when he wanted to sell it, the bank
valuation was only A$600,000.
While visiting Gold Coast in
Queensland one day, Grubisa
encountered a similar scenario. She came across a beautiful
apartment that was owned by a
foreign investor who had paid
A$1.2 million for the unit. The
owner struggled to find a buyer, as a development next door
had units offering the same view,
similar-quality finishes and completed just two years earlier, that
were priced at A$600,000.
Grubisa believes she has found
the remedy for foreigners locked out
of most resale market opportunities
Down Under. She has formulated a
process and legal structure that will
enable non-Australians to invest in
Australian property “safely and in
compliance with Australian regulations”, she says. “It’s brand-new.
I’ve just dusted off the patent for it.”
The patent is for the process,
including the structuring of companies, which will allow foreign
investors to purchase properties.
“It’s not just any company,” emphasises Grubisa. “It has to be of a
certain company structure which
I’ve patented. Not just anyone can
do it. I’ve joined all the dots, put
the system and process in place
for [foreigners] to be able to buy.
So, they can technically have access to the resale market.” There
is no limit to the number of properties they can purchase using
this structure, she adds.
With her patented structure,
more opportunities could open up
for foreign investors in Australia.
“Most migration agents can help
obtain a student or skilled migrant
visa”, Grubisa points out, “but no
one I know can obtain a SIV [Significant Investor Visa] and allow
the complying investment to be in
property. That is our unique selling
point.” On the other hand, most migration agents will encourage the investment to be in managed funds or
government bonds, which gives the
investor little control, she explains.
‘Golden visa’
The SIV scheme was introduced
by the Australian government in
November 2012. The minimum
investment is A$5 million, and visa
holders must stay at least 40 days a
year over a four-year period before
qualifying for permanent residence.
The scheme attracted 1,462 applicants from November 2012 to December 2014. It attracted a total of
A$5.92 billion investments, of which
about A$2.975 billion has been invested in complying assets, with
another A$2.945 billion proposed
to be invested. As at end-December 2014, the top five nationalities
for which visa applications were
granted were: China (88.7%), Hong
Kong (3.5%), South Africa (1.3%),
Malaysia (1%) and Japan (0.8%).
A “premium” SIV was announced
last November targeted at wealthy
foreigners with at least A$15 million to invest in certain assets. The
visa will give them a fast track for
obtaining a permanent residence
after 12 months. “I believe the premium investor visa is an attempt to
attract high-net-worth investors who
do not want to wait four years and
have to spend 160 days in Australia,”
says Grubisa. “They get PR in a year
without the obligation of having to
spend a certain amount of time in
Australia. The A$5 million visa will
remain for those who do not mind
waiting four years and having to
spend 160 days in Australia.”
The signing of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement last
year now allows Chinese investors
to buy commercial property up to
a value of A$1.078 billion without
requiring FIRB approval. This puts
them on equal footing with US and
New Zealand investors. The current
commercial property limit is A$54
million. The existing screening of
residential property purchases still
applies, though.
Nevertheless, Chinese investors
are already making headline transactions in Australia. The standout
property deal last year was the sale
of a mansion called Villa del Mare
in Point Piper, the most affluent
waterfront suburb in Sydney, where
the likes of Australian moguls James
Packer and Lachlan Murdoch (elder
son of Rupert Murdoch) own
homes. The Mediterranean-style
Villa del Mare, previously owned
by Australian recruitment boss Julia
Ross, fetched A$39 million in October, topping four other transactions
in Point Piper last year that were
above A$30 million each.
The property was reportedly sold
to an Australian company called
Golden Fast Foods Pty Ltd, which
is controlled by Chinese billionaire Xu Jiayin, chairman of Guangdong-headquartered real estate
developer Evergrande Group, and
China’s 15th richest with a net worth
of US$7 billion (RM25.3 billion), according to the Hurun Rich List 2014.
In 2013, the most expensive
mansion sold in Australia was also
in Point Piper — a property called
Altona, which fetched A$54 million.
The buyer was said to be Chinese
businessman Xiuzhen Ding, a resident of Elwood, a beachfront suburb in Melbourne, who purchased
through his investment company
Chimovich Investments.
According to Grubisa, the
only way for a foreigner to purchase a property in Point Piper is
to be an Australian resident or via
a company structure similar to the
one she has patented.
Opening up new asset classes
Many Chinese companies are interested in buying agricultural and
dairy farms, as well as in tying up
with locals to manage these assets,
says Grubisa. Last November, for
instance, Australian mining tycoon
Gina Rinehart agreed to invest A$500
million in partnership with Chinese
state-owned company China National Machinery Industry Corp to form
Hope Dairies Ltd, one of Australia’s
largest dairy farms, to produce premium infant formula, which is seeing
soaring demand in China.
Grubisa also sees foreign investor interest in resort properties,
luxury hotels, major wineries and
vineyards. In addition to investing, foreigners are also looking at
Australia as a “desirable destination” when it comes to education,
she adds. Many want to send their
children to Australia for their education, and eventually to obtain
permanent residence.
Naturally, Grubisa’s structure
of buying property in Australia has
attracted much interest from investors in China and Hong Kong.
For Singaporeans, the interest has
been in buying property using
her patented structure, she says,
“[and] not to live in Australia, as
they are happy where they are”. —

Monetary mess threatens
gains from oil oversupply
New Greek
debt deal will
mean another
period of
brinkmanship
BY N E IL UN MAC K
Resources companies cancelling investment plans, cutting production
BY A NDY MU KHER JEE
A
sharp oil price decline is generally a
sign of oversupply,
and an oil glut is
normally an economic lubricant.
The oil price is down almost 60%
since June, and about half of the
decline looks like a case of oversupply. But cheap crude might not provide much oomph, because central
banks are gumming up the works.
Of course, oil may not be cheaper merely because there is too much
of it. Some economists think that
the decline in crude prices in the
second half of 2014 (1H14) is primarily because of weak demand.
If they’re right, the excess of crude
will do nothing fast to propel gross
domestic product (GDP) growth.
But judging by the way that the
fall of oil has filtered into other
prices, it looks like the gloomy crew
have it backwards. Compare the
recent collapse in oil to the similar drop in the 1H09. Then the financial crisis led to a sudden and
dramatic collapse in demand for oil
and everything else. About half of
this commodity-led drop in headline inflation immediately filtered
through to the core inflation rate,
which is calculated by stripping
out volatile food and energy prices.
This time around, only about a
quarter of the drop in headline inflation has seeped into core prices,
according to a Breakingviews analysis of price trends in 25 major world
economies, which together account
for US$65 trillion (RM234.65 trillion) of output.
In other words, the disinflationary drag from weak demand is only
half as strong now as six years ago.
That suggests that the other half of
the oil price fall comes from unexpected excess supply — such
as Saudi Arabia’s decision to keep
production intact amidst stumbling prices. If that is right, the supply shock, as economists call it, is
potentially large enough to give a
nice economic push in importing
nations.
The cost savings from cheaper
oil will allow households to buy
more of other things. Governments
in poorer oil-importing countries
will spend less on energy subsidies
and more on infrastructure, as In-
donesia has already started doing.
Oil exporters will suffer, but world
output will get a boost. Simulations by International Monetary
Fund economists Rabah Arezki and
Olivier Blanchard suggest a 0.4%
to 0.8% increase in global GDP in
2016 from what it might otherwise
have been.
However, there are problems. Resources companies are cancelling
investment plans and cutting production where they can. This could
have ripple effects on jobs and wages.
Meanwhile, animal spirits in non-resources industries are being held
back by the inability of central banks
to fix the banking motor. And while
global demand is not collapsing, it
is too low to encourage investment
and consumption.
Worse still, even the subdued
drop in core inflation that the world
economy has witnessed in the past
six months is surreptitiously pushing up the real, or inflation-adjusted, cost of borrowing. That, too, can
be blamed on central banks’ helplessness: nominal interest rates in
rich nations are at rock bottom, and
can’t be cut any further.
The other strategy for monetary
easing is quantitative easing (QE),
or bulking up of the monetary authorities’ balance sheet. This device,
which is already looking worn from
overuse, is getting pressed into service in the eurozone. But the Swiss
National Bank has abruptly turned
off the money-printing machine,
and the Bank of Japan is finding it
hard to crank it up. As QE fatigue
weakens investor expectations of
future inflation, businesses could
become even more nervous to order
new plants and machines.
If China and India don’t cut interest rates aggressively this year,
and if the United States raises them,
the global inflation-adjusted cost of
capital could increase further. That
could be problematic, particularly in Asia. From China and South
Korea to Thailand and Malaysia,
companies and households have
loaded up on so much of debt in
the past few years that their capacity to service the loans is now
stretched. If disinflation leads to
higher real interest rates before it
can jump-start consumer spending and GDP growth, the potential
gains from the oil glut would be
squandered. — Reuters
ECB, Syriza break eurozone’s German spell
BY PI ERRE B RI A NCON
FOR the eurozone, the victory of the
anti-austerity Syriza party in the Greek
election is not just a political test. It
marks the beginning of a new, more
promising phase of the monetary union’s history, the end of a five-month
transition period that saw the monetary union break the German spell.
Austerity at all costs cannot, will not
be at the heart of Europe’s crisis-resolution mechanism, as it has been for
the last five years.
It started last August, with a speech
by Mario Draghi to the world’s leading central bankers in Jackson Hole,
Wyoming, in the United States, when
the European Central Bank (ECB)
president signalled that he was ready
to break long-standing taboos. Now,
for the first time, voters in a monetary
union member state have chosen a
government that built its campaign
around its opposition to austerity. But
the Greeks have also elected a pro-euro, pro-Europe party. New Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras wouldn’t have
received such a broad mandate if he
had not silenced the leftist part of his
movement openly contemplating a
euro exit.
Because of that anti-austerity,
pro-euro stance, Greece will wield
much more influence than its 2% of
eurozone gross domestic product
would normally merit. Other governments worry because much can go
Tsipras speaking to supporters after winning the elections in Athens on Sunday. Just as
Merkel must take into consideration the will of Greek voters, Tsipras must understand
the concerns of German ones. Photo by Reuters
wrong in the high-stakes negotiations
between Athens, its creditor countries
and the ECB. But in quite a few capitals, leaders are silently hoping that
the Greek election becomes a catalyst
for a change in the European conversation. Without abandoning the need
for fiscal prudence, they’re eager to
start talking more about growth, job
creation and the best ways to boost
the economies of the block and its
individual members.
In his Jackson Hole speech, Draghi
signalled that the ECB was reconsidering two key pillars of the Berlin-Brussels consensus. He called for
a rethink of fiscal austerity in countries that could afford stimulus (guess
who?), and he announced that the
ECB was ready to loosen monetary
policy. Then, after cornering German authorities into admitting that
low inflation threatened to become
a problem, he designed the path towards full-blown quantitative easing. In the end, Germany won some
serious concession on loss sharing,
but the massive, open-ended nature
of the bond-buying programme ran
counter to Berlin’s long-held views
on monetary policy.
The eurozone now has as loose
a monetary policy as it will get. It is
also well on the way to a true banking
union — one of the most important
achievements to come out of the crisis. And the terms of the debate are
changing. Governments in France
and Italy, willing to reform but in
need of some fiscal breathing space,
are making the case for well-considered economic stimulus. Together,
the two countries have contributed
50% more than Germany to the two
Greek bailouts, so they should find a
way to make their views heard.
In the next few weeks the eurozone
will go back to its crisis mode. Expect
talk of “insurmountable” differences, final ultimatums, stern warnings,
and last-minute compromises. How
the new government in Athens will
choose to use its victory remains a big
unknown. But like its predecessors,
it will have to show that it is not asking the Germans, the French or the
Italians to pay the taxes that Greeks
don’t pay. Just as German Chancellor
Angela Merkel must take into consideration the will of Greek voters, Tsipras must understand the concerns of
German ones.
The leaders of the monetary union and the European Commission can seize the Greek moment to
shake off their austerity-cum-structural reforms trance. Declaring independence from Berlin doesn’t mean
they can ignore economic realities.
But it gives them the opportunity
to design policies that go beyond
pain and fiscal tightening. Syriza
may err, disappoint or fail, but the
implications of its electoral victory
are already extending far beyond
Greece’s borders. — Reuters
A NEW debt deal for Greece will
mean another unsettled period
of brinkmanship. Markets are relaxed that the anti-bailout Syriza
government will be able to cut a
new arrangement with creditors.
But pressure points lie ahead in
March and July. Getting through
these will need quick progress on
tackling Greece’s bigger challenges.
Alexis Tsipras, the new prime
minister, has little time to negotiate the debt relief he promised
voters before elections. The widespread assumption is that Greece
will get an extension to its existing
bailout package — which includes
liquidity for its banking system —
which would otherwise expire in
February. Even so, the pressure
will mount soon after.
Debt repayments, including
money owed to the International Monetary Fund, may exhaust
Greece’s reserves by the end of
March, Eurobank reckons. Then
in July and August, €6.6 billion
(RM27.153 billion) of bonds held
by the European Central Bank mature. Tsipras could muddle through
this by getting the country’s banks
to buy some new short-term government debt. This, however,
would breach limits on treasury
bills agreed with eurozone lenders.
So for domestic lenders to be able
to support him will require Tsipras to
make progress in talks with international creditors on Greece’s longerterm borrowings. The only alternative would be to default on domestic
obligations. But that could trigger
capital flight, weakening Tsipras’
negotiating hand.
Debt repayments,
including money owed
to the International
Monetary Fund, may
exhaust Greece’s reserves
by the end of March.
The likely outcome is that Greece
gives some ground on reform, in return for a lowering of the country’s
fiscal targets so that debt could be
greater than 110% of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2022, the arbitrary goal agreed on in 2012. The
eurozone could also extend debt
maturities and lower interest rates
on Greece’s bailout loans. This will
only help over time — Bruegel, the
think tank, estimates such measures
could save €32 billion through 2050.
The sums coming due in the near
term may seem small for a country
with total debt equivalent to 176%
of GDP. But the interconnected nature of bargaining over short- and
long-term issues creates the likelihood of several stand-offs ahead.
Markets may be relaxed, but Greece
retains the capacity to deliver repeated shocks in 2015. — Reuters

A mini SUV based on a Golf?
VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI is a compact crossover that does most things well
Rear seats are split 60:40. It features an
armrest, and it slides, reclines and folds.
There are six airbags and an anti-theft alarm.
BY HA L I M YA ACO B
T
he VW Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4
TSI is a compact crossover that
slots into VW’s lineup beneath
the larger Touareg SUV and it
gets its name from a combination of German words for “tiger”
and “iguana” (strong and nimble?).
Now my first impression of the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI (Turbocharged Stratified
Injection) variant (RM179,608) seen cruising along the New Klang Valley Expressway
was that of a small SUV that behaves like a
hatchback.
At least that’s what it looked like to me.
After driving it, I can say there is no way in
which the VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI looks or feels
like a Golf behind the wheel — though the
engines and platform are similar (to that of
the Mk6 Golf TSI’s engine).
And the folks at Volkswagen Group Malaysia assure me that the VW Tiguan 1.4
TSI has been engineered with the goal of
becoming the most capable and satisfying
small crossover available.
So, let’s get on with it. Positioned as the
Touareg’s combative, smaller sibling, the
VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI arrived somewhat late
to the crossover party.
How does it feel?
This VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI 2WD certainly does
strike a more athletic, traditional SUV-style
pose — though one could be pushed to perhaps describe it as “mean” looking.
Well-built and very smart with a lofty
driving position, the VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI has
a twin-charged EA111 1.4 litre twin-charged
direct petrol injection TSI engine mated to a
wet-clutch 6-speed direct shift gearbox for
a captivating performance. The wet-clutch
bit means there’s almost no lag in between
the automatic gear changes.
This combination produces a maximum torque of 240Nm kicking in from a
low 1,500rpm, enabling it to accelerate from
0 to 100kph in 8.9 seconds with a top speed
of 198kph (electronically timed of course).
The interior has ample storage spaces — one is in the central area where a space-saving electronic parking
brake button is present. The whole cabin looks sturdy and solid with plenty of premium features such as the
leather steering wheel and gear knob.
It also means that the four-cylinder engine sends 160 PS at 5,800 rpm and 240Nm
of torque between 1,500rpm and 4,500rpm
to the front wheels.
The engine did struggle out of the toll
gate during the test drive, but once above
3,000rpm, it moved the VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI
more than adequately and was quiet and
responsive at higher speeds.
VW Tiguan 2.0 TSI doesn’t have them) lets it
claim a combined fuel consumption of 7.1
litres per 100km.
Some wind noise did creep in around
110kph during the trip along the highway
to Port Dickson, though not much.
When I needed to hit the brakes, this
Tiguan’s four-wheel discs with ABS slowed
the vehicle down admirably.
The drive
The VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI proved agile and
carlike on the roads around Port Dickson.
It retains enough oomph for you to throw it
around if the mood takes you. It has a mean
tight turning radius and electromechanical
steering (quick and light at low speeds).
It steers accurately and controls body
movements well, and there’s undoubtably
extra traction to push you through corners
which makes this VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI one of
the smoothest, more comfortable cars in its
class (though it isn’t quite like the BMW X3
that costs RM328,800).
Activating the auto-hold button allowed
me to take my foot off the brakes while the
vehicle was on an incline or decline. The auto-hold allows the Tiguan to resume moving
smoothly once you step on the accelerator.
Start/stop and regenerative braking (the
The interior
Inside, the VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI takes a people-first approach to packaging, making it
a comfortable around-town car that also
provides highway comfort.
There’s a familiar VW vibe in here. The
cabin is typically well-designed. Leg, head
and shoulder room are all excellent, although
it’s a bit tight for three people in the back.
The front seats especially are supportive,
offering good visibility from the driver’s seat,
while the materials feel solid with a wellbuilt feeling running throughout.
There is a backseat “tray” which you can
put to good use for surfing on your smartphone/tablet. The interior features include
climatic semi-auto air-con, an electronic
parking brake with auto-hold, Radio RCD
310 (MP3, CD, AUX, eight speakers) and
rain-sensing windscreen wipers.
Conclusion
The VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI is a pleasure to drive,
thanks to its responsive engine and a finely
balanced chassis.
There’s nothing shocking here. Consumption and CO2 levels are among the best in
its class. It falls into the pricier portion of
the market, which is what you would expect given the upmarket badge on the front.
It’s not as cheap as some rivals and the
ride is a bit firm. Rear visibility isn’t great,
while off-road ability is limited.
The Tiguan 1.4 TSI comes with auto halogen headlamps, front fog lamps with static cornering lamps, plus 17-inch “Boston”
five-spoke alloys (Tiguan 2.0 TSI has 17-inch
“New Orleans” multi-spoke alloys) wrapped
in 235/55 series tyres.
Wait, what’s the bummer? It’s the optional
Tech Pack — bi-xenon headlamps with LED
DRLs, bluetooth, climatronic auto dual-zone
air-con, cruise control, dynamic headlight
range adjustment with bending lights, foldable wing mirrors with curb view (when you
engage reverse), a “Premium” multi-function
display, a multi-function steering wheel,
Park Distance Control with reverse camera,
Radio RCD 510 (6.5-inch touchscreen) and
a USB adaptor cable — (whew!) all in for an
extra RM10,000.
I would wish for the Tech Pack to be
included into the fully imported (CBU)
Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI priced at
RM179,608 nett (OTR without insurance).
A five-year warranty with unlimited mileage is offered. The seats are suede which is
suitable for our weather.
Anything else? It’s a Volkswagen, so it just
gets on with being safe, dependable and a
wee bit posh. Your possible alternative would
be the Audi Q3 1.4 TFSI at RM216,888.
If you really want the VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI to
take off, shift the gear to “S” mode. Road tax is
RM70. Enough said. Log on to www.volkswagen.com.my/Das-Auto for a test drive.

LAUNCH OF LEXUS NX 200t ... The highly anticipated all-new Lexus NX is set to debut in Kuala Lumpur tonight. Five variants (200t, 200t Premium, 200t Luxury, 200t F Sport and 300h) will be offered at the
grand premiere of this compact crossover SUV. Estimated prices start from RM300,000 for the base 2-litre turbo model, rising up to RM390,200 for the range-topping hybrid variant. The new Lexus NX will be joining a party
dominated by the established BMW X3 and Audi Q5, with the Range Rover Evoque and Porsche Macan thrown into the mix.
Rolls-Royce’s precision engineering
BY JU ST I N HA RPER
WHEN one thinks of a car factory, what
springs to mind is a huge industrial plant
spouting smoke, located near a major city
or town. But Rolls-Royce’s manufacturing
plant is a million miles away from such a
setting. It is based in scenic Goodwood
country estate, among the rolling hills of
Sussex Downs.
The building itself is beautifully designed
and looks more like a country hotel and spa
retreat than a manufacturing plant (a posh
word for factory). The roof is made of living
plants — one of the company’s ways of making the facility environmentally sound. The
reception area is airy and bright; sunlight
spills in through the tall windows. It is here
that guides greet guests before taking them
on an extensive tour of the facility.
My guide, Jane, is a tall, well-spoken Englishwoman who is genuinely passionate
about Rolls-Royce. She proved to be an encyclopaedia when it comes to how the cars
are built. For example, she tells me how 30
litres of paint are used per car, to ensure its
colour lasts for decades.
During my tour of the plant, I witnessed German precision engineering. While inherently
British, Roll-Royce is now owned by German
luxury marque BMW. There are 16 stages
in the car-building process and each takes
exactly 49 minutes. One of the most impressive is the stage where just 16 bolts are used
to attach the drivetrain to the chassis of the
car. The plant’s floors are shiny and squeaky
clean because all the messy work, such as
building the engines, is done at BMW’s factory in Germany.
There is one line for “normal” production-line Rolls-Royces and another for bespoke cars, for customers who have asked for
a specific colour or design. Often, requests
involve the interior, such as monogramming
glove boxes or fitting name plates. Jane tells
of one Middle Eastern monarch who wanted a picture of his favourite hunting bird
stitched onto the headrests.
Another highlight of the tour is watching
how the stargazer ceilings are made for the
interiors. These are a series of intricate fibre
optic lights woven into the ceiling to mirror
a star-lit night. Some customers like to personalise these too, choosing the constella-
01
tion in the sky on the day they were born.
The 43kg wiring for the fibre optics stretches 1km long and each pattern of stars is
different for every Wraith or Ghost car they
go into. A team of five women were busily
weaving and stitching stargazer ceilings to
create this unique effect when I visited the
factory. Each will weave 1,340 lights by hand,
a process that takes 1½ days.
While the growing number of bespoke
orders increases the workload for the staff,
so, too, does the popularity of the RollsRoyce among wealthy Chinese. This is evident from the number of left-hand drive cars
that are being built for China. Some models
of Rolls-Royce also have to be shortened
for the Chinese market: In China, to drive
a vehicle measuring over 6m requires a bus
driver’s licence.
I also toured the wood shop and leather
shop, where materials are prepared and selected. Pieces of fine wood grains are stored in a
climate controlled room and cut in a painstaking process to get the smooth polished finish
found in the Rolls-Royce interior. Large pieces
of hide hang on neat racks in the leather shop.
Each sample is unique and has a natural finish
and sheen. Each car requires a total of 11 bull
hides. If you are a vegetarian and don’t wish
to sit on leather, cashmere could be used. Basically, every little detail has been thought of.
You can also witness a series of rigorous
physical tests each car must undergo. For
example, the water test is to ensure that all

the seals are waterproof. This is basically a
22-minute power shower for the car. Other
tests are for the steering, suspension and critical components.
Besides tours for the public and those who
have ordered its cars, the Rolls-Royce plant also
welcomes its share of celebrities. During my
visit, Rowan Atkinson popped in to see how
his bespoke Rolls-Royce was coming along.
NASCAR legend Richard Petty was there too,
touring the plant.

Singapore unexpectedly
eases monetary policy
Joins other global central banks in move as oil plunge threatens deflation
BY MA SAY U K I KITANO
& VI DYA RA N GA NATHAN
SINGAPORE: Singapore’s central
bank unexpectedly eased monetary policy yesterday, saying a
plunge in commodity prices had
significantly changed the city
state’s inflation outlook and joining global policymakers in seeking
to defuse deflationary pressures.
In an unscheduled policy statement, the Monetary Authority of
Singapore (MAS) said it is reducing the slope of its policy band
for the Singapore dollar because
the inflation outlook has “shifted
significantly” since its last review
in October 2014.
The MAS, which said the change
in outlook largely reflected the collapse in global oil prices, kept the
width and mid-point of the band
unchanged.
The surprise easing, the first unscheduled policy change in over a
decade and coming before the April
review, sent the Singapore dollar
skidding to 1.3570 per US dollar, its
weakest since August 2010.
“Imported inflationary pressures
are receding, with global oil prices
likely to stay subdued this year,”
the MAS said.
The central bank said it would
continue to stick with a policy of
allowing the Singapore dollar to
appreciate modestly and gradually against a basket of currencies.

Twitter woos
users with group
chat and video
features
SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter on
Tuesday began rolling out new
group chat and video features
as it worked to ramp up use
of the one-to-many messaging service.
“Private conversations on
Twitter are a great complement
to the largely public experience
on the platform,” product director Jinen Kamdar, whose
handle is @jinen, said in an
online post.
“The group function lets you
start conversations with any of
your followers and they don’t
all need to follow one another
in order to chat.”
Twitter allows users to send
direct messages to one another;
the new feature expands that
capability to allow shared exchanges involving as many as
20 people, according to Kamdar.
The Twitter application for
smartphones has also been
modified to allow people to
easily capture, edit and share
videos.
The new feature allows for
sharing of videos 30 seconds
or less in length.
“In just a few taps you can
add a video to unfolding conversations, share your perspective of a live event, and show
your everyday moments instantly, without ever having
to leave the app,” Kamdar said.

TOKYO: The risk of the first default by a Chinese property developer on a dollar-denominated
bond isn’t unnerving Goldman
Sachs Group Inc’s money managers, as they look for buying
opportunities amid the fallout.
Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd
missed a US$23 million (RM83
million) interest payment earlier
this month, putting it at risk of defaulting on its dollar-denominated
bonds. The spread on high-yield
notes from China in the currency
rose to 1,133 basis points last Monday, the highest since 2012.
“It is actually creating really
some attractive buying opportunities in good-quality assets
that are being thrown out with
the bad,” said Philip Moffitt, head
of Asia-Pacific fixed income at
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, which oversees about US$1
trillion in assets globally. “The

China’s 10th and 16th biggest trading houses — reached a valuation of
US$47 billion (RM169.7 billion) on
its first day of trading. That made it
bigger than US brokerage Charles
Schwab, and a fitting emblem of
political investment mania.
China’s securities houses are
surfing a wave of investor exuberance. The listed ones trade at a median 49 times this year’s expected
earnings, according to Eikon, more
than triple the global peer group.
The excitement is mostly confined
to the mainland. Haitong Securities’ Shanghai-listed shares cost

China political investment bubble has new anti-hero
BY JOHN FO LE Y
IN BRIEF
49% more than the equivalent in
Hong Kong. Back in October they
were worth roughly the same.
Brokerages benefit when stock
markets rise. But the growth of
margin trading, where investors leverage bets by borrowing
against their shares, has created
something of an Indian rope trick.
Brokers charge fees of around
8.5% on the amount they lend —
creating a much more attractive
spread than banks get on their
loans. Margin credit is around 3%
of the Shanghai market’s value —
more than the New York Stock
Exchange. Even regulatory curbs
haven’t turned the tide.
There is a genuine case for ebullience. Money effectively trapped
in the People’s Republic by capital
controls has to go somewhere. Even
after the recent spurt, the annual-
ised gain in the Shanghai Composite Index since 2010 is just 2%
— far behind China’s economic
growth over that period. Shanghai
stocks trade at an average multiple
of 14.5 times historical earnings —
hardly stretched by international
standards.
Underpinning the boom,
though, is a dangerous belief: that
the rally can be sustained by political will. As growth slows and industrial profits slide, a roaring market
looks increasingly incongruous.
It’s true that if stocks were to collapse, many middle-class individuals would feel distinctly less content — an outcome that politicians
would like to avoid. But frequent
attempts to reverse a bear market
didn’t work in the past. There’s no
reason to think they would now.

SINGAPORE: Auric Pacific
Group has announced that former SMRT head Saw Phaik Hwa

US$750m bonds due in

SINGAPORE: Mainboard-listed
Olam International announced
yesterday that it will redeem
US$750 million (RM2.71 billion) bonds due in 2018 on Feb
27, The Straits Times reported.
This will be done at 103.375%
of the principal amounts of the
bonds, together with unpaid
accrued interest. The commodities giant, which is in the midst
of revamping its capital structure, earlier in January issued
US$50 million in senior notes
due 2020 to an institutional investor at a fixed coupon rate of
4%. This was part of the US$5
billion euro medium-term note
programme it established on
July 6, 2012.

Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) intends to float its power assets at an indicative price of RM1.83 a share, which
will value the entire company — 1MDB
Energy Group Bhd — at RM11.0 billion.
At RM1.83 a share, 1MDB Energy Group
will be priced at a price-earnings ratio of 20
times FY2016 earnings, which is higher than
the current industry range of between 9.0 and
15 times, according to documents prepared
for the listing sighted by The Edge.
Tenaga Nasional Bhd currently trades
at a PER of 13 times while YTL Power International Ltd is trading at around 11 times.
At 20 times PER, shareholders of 1MDB
Energy Group can expect to enjoy a yield
of between 2.5% and 3.5%, according to the
documents. By comparison, at their current
prices, Tenaga has a yield of 2.0% and YTL
Power 6.5%.
According to the documents, 1MDB will

Apple earnings hit record
Quarterly profit rose to US$18b at end of last year on ‘staggering’ iPhone sales
partnership with China Mobile as
powering sales. Sales of iPhones
doubled in Greater China, its No 2
smartphone market, according to
chief financial officer Luca Maestri.
But it was not just China: iPhone
sales leapt 44% in the United States
and doubled in Brazil.
Sales of iPads dipped, but Apple
set new records in the quarter for
sales of Macintosh computers and
revenue from digital goods bought
from its App Store.
Cook remained optimistic about
the long-term potential for Apple’s
iPad line.
He noted that the ranks of firsttime iPad buyers remain strong
in China, Britain, the US and
elsewhere and that the devices
account for the bulk of online
activity and shopping seen from
tablets.
Apple’s board of directors declared a cash dividend of 47 cents
per share to be paid on Feb 12.
Apple shares rose more than
5% to US$115.20 in after-market
trades that followed release of
the high earnings figures. — AFP
SAN FRANCISCO: Apple’s quarterly
profit rocketed to a corporate record
US$18 billion (RM64.98 billion) at
the end of last year on booming
sales of big-screen iPhone models,
especially in China.
The California tech titan also
announced on Tuesday that it had
sold its one billionth device powered by its iOS mobile operating
system, on a day of dizzying figures
— even by Apple’s high standards.
And it said that its highly anticipated Apple Watch wearable devices, unveiled last year to fanfare, are
on track to begin shipping in April.
“We’d like to thank our customers for an incredible quarter which
saw demand for Apple products
soar to an all-time high,” declared
chief executive Tim Cook. “Demand
for iPhone has been staggering,
shattering our expectation.”
Blockbuster sales of the recently
released iPhone 6, in particular, are
signs of huge pent-up demand for
larger-screen smartphones, likely to boost sales throughout this
year, according to Forrester analyst
Frank Gillett.
The record quarterly profit — on
unprecedented revenue of US$74.6
billion — was driven by the sale of
74.5 million iPhones, well ahead of
most analysts’ expectations.

Alibaba
China accuses e-commerce
giant of not curbing fake goods
BY SOPH I E EST I E NNE
BY LULU YILU N C HE N
NEW YORK: Yahoo is spinning off its
stake in Chinese Internet giant Alibaba, splitting off the valuable holdings
in a move that sidesteps taxes.
The strategy laid out on Tuesday
aims to deliver more cash for shareholders than an outright sale of the
US$40 billion (RM144.4 billion) stake,
avoiding a hefty tax bill, and to help
Yahoo’s efforts to refocus under chief
executive Marissa Mayer.
Mayer told a conference call the
deal “maximises value for shareholders” and avoids a potential tax bill of
up to US$16 billion under a traditional
sale of the stake.
She said the move is part of a
broader effort to help Yahoo’s “remixing” of its activities around mobile Internet, video and other forms
of online media.
The spin-off creates a new entity
to hold Alibaba shares, in a move
responding to concerns of activist
shareholders who want the struggling
California group to extract value from
the holdings.
Shares in Yahoo jumped 6.69% to
US$51.20 in after-hours trading as
investors cheered the move.
Yahoo said its board authorised
creation of an independent investment company called SpinCo to hold
the Alibaba shares. SpinCo would be
totally owned by Yahoo shareholders.
Yahoo’s current market value is
about US$45 billion, most of which
is in Alibaba shares. Yahoo bought
a 40% stake in the Chinese online
giant in 2005 for US$1 billion. — AFP
HONG KONG: Alibaba Group Holding Ltd has a “credibility crisis”
fuelled by its failure to crack down
on shady merchants, counterfeit
goods, bribery and misleading promotions in online malls, the Chinese government said.
The scathing report by the State
Administration for Industry & Commerce (Saic) accused Alibaba of allowing merchants to operate without required business licences, run
unauthorised stores that co-opt
famous brands, and sell fake wine
and handbags. Alibaba employees
took bribes, and the e-commerce
giant didn’t fix flaws in customer
feedback or internal credit-scoring
systems, the report said.
Bob Christie, a spokesman for
Alibaba, said the Hangzhou-based
company couldn’t immediately
comment. At a meeting with Saic

officials in July, Alibaba acknowledged that problems exist on its
platform and said it would improve
monitoring efforts and increase
communication with regulators,
the government said.
Though the meeting was held in
July, the report wasn’t published
until now to avoid affecting Alibaba’s initial public offering (IPO),
the government said. The Hangzhou-based company held a record
US$25 billion (RM90.25 billion) IPO
in September.
“The Saic is now teaching Alibaba a lesson and telling it to learn its
place,” said Li Muzhi, a Hong Kongbased analyst at Arete Research Service LLP by phone. “Many Chinese
government agencies are probably
not too happy with Jack Ma’s high
profile, his initiatives in the financial sector and impact on the retail sector.”
Yesterday’s release came the
day after a posting on one of Alibaba’s official Weibo accounts
said government inspectors applied standards inconsistently
and didn’t give merchants enough
time to respond to accusations.
The post was written as a letter to
the official responsible and said
he wasn’t treating China’s biggest
e-commerce operator fairly and
his methods were flawed.
Last week, founder Ma said Alibaba would only share user data
with Chinese authorities if they
were investigating terrorism or other crimes.
“The rest, no,” Ma told Charlie
Rose during a interview in Davos,
Switzerland, last Friday.
Alibaba has worked to get rid
of counterfeits as it expands internationally, saying it removed 90
million listings for products that
breached intellectual-property
rights before its IPO. — Bloomberg

having embarked on a big cost-cutting drive, industry experts are baffled why the maker of the “people’s car” plans to spend millions
of euros upgrading a loss-making
luxury saloon.
The €76,000 (RM312,563) Phaeton, a pet project of chairman Fer-
dinand Piech, has never met VW’s
original sales target of 20,000 cars
annually. Analysts say the executive saloon, which cost more than
€1 billion to develop and came out
in 2002, should be axed.
But sources at VW told Reuters
the company is now planning a
more advanced version of the
Phaeton — described by Bernstein analyst Max Warburton as
one of the three “most loss-making
European cars of modern times”.
The plans appear all the more
perplexing to analysts as VW has
pledged to make annual cost savings of €5 billion at its passenger-car brand by 2017, as the
world’s second-biggest carmaker by sales seeks to narrow the
gap with global leader Toyota.

IN BRIEF
Core inflation eases interest rate cut pressure
SYDNEY: A pickup in core
consumer prices in Australia has reduced the likelihood
of a near-term interest rate
cut, even as official statistics
showed yesterday that plunging oil prices slowed inflation
in the last three months of 2014.
The Consumer Price Index rose
0.2% from the previous quarter
and 1.7% through the year to
December, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said. However core inflation, which strips
out volatile items and is more
closely watched by the Reserve
Bank, came in at 0.7% for the
quarter and 2.2% through the
year — inside the central bank’s
preferred range of 2% to 3%.

Philippine January CPI
likely to be 1.8% to 2.7%
MANILA: Philippine annual
inflation could fall below 2%
for the first time in more than
five years in January, the central bank said yesterday, giving
it leeway to keep interest rates
steady in the near term. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)
governor Amando Tetangco
said inflation in January will
likely be between 1.8% and
2.7%, reflecting easing price
pressures. The bottom end of
the range would be the lowest
since August 2009 when the
rate hit 1.7% while the upper
end would equal the rate in
December. BSP meets for the
first time this year on Feb 12.

Whisky industry worth
billions to UK economy
LONDON: Britain’s whisky
trade is worth over £5 billion
(RM27.46 billion) to the economy each year and provides
over 40,000 jobs, according to
a study released yesterday. The
report by the Scotch Whisky
Association (SWA) found that
despite a slowdown in exports,
billions of bottles of whisky
were sold globally each year.
“Scotch whisky must be recognised as a cultural asset that
boosts growth and jobs, supports communities and combines the best of the traditional
and the modern,” said SWA

Mother of captive begs
PM to save son held by IS
Hostage issue is deepest diplomatic crisis Abe has faced in over two years in office
BY EL A I N E L I ES
& TA K A SHI U MEKAWA
TOKYO: The mother of Islamic State
captive Kenji Goto appealed for his
life yesterday after a new video appeared to show the Japanese journalist saying he had 24 hours to live
unless Jordan released a would-be
suicide bomber.
The voice on the video added
that another hostage, Jordanian
pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh, had a
shorter time to live. Japan confirmed the existence of the video
at 11pm (1400 GMT) on Tuesday.
The voice said Goto would be
killed unless Jordan freed death
row inmate Sajida al-Rishawi, an
Iraqi woman held by Jordan for her
role in a 2005 suicide bombing that
killed 60 people in Amman.
“Please save Kenji’s life. I call on
you to work with all your strength
in negotiations with the Jordanian
government,” Goto’s mother, Junko Ishido, said in a letter to Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe that she read

out at a news conference.
“His remaining time is very short
... I beg you to do everything in your
power,” Ishido said, reiterating that
her son was not an enemy of Islam.
Abe said the latest video was
“despicable”. He called on Jordan
to cooperate in working for Goto’s
quick release, but vowed Tokyo
would not give in to terrorism.
Reuters could not verify the authenticity of the video, but Chief
Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga
said it appeared to show Goto. The
voice on the video resembled that
of Goto in an earlier video over
the weekend which the Japanese
and US governments believed was
authentic.
If verified, the video would be
the third involving the 47-year-old
Goto, a veteran war reporter.
The hostage issue is the deepest
diplomatic crisis Abe — who must
tread a fine line between appearing
firm but not callous — has faced in
just over two years in office.
Bassam al-Manaseer, chairman
of the foreign affairs committee in
Jordan’s lower house of parliament,
said in an interview with Bloomberg news agency in Amman that
Jordan was in indirect talks with
Islamic State to secure the release
of Goto and Kasaesbeh.
He said the talks were taking
place through religious and tribal
leaders in Iraq. — Reuters
Singapore to set up new Cyber
Security Agency in April
BY C A ROLY N KHEW
BY IRENE THAM
SINGAPORE: The lawyer acting for
Hedy Mok wants to meet former
China tour guide Yang Yin in jail,
The Straits Times reported yesterday. Lawyer Peter Doraisamy
revealed this yesterday following
a closed-door hearing on an application to recognise a new will
by Mok’s aunt, Chung Khin Chun.
Chung’s earlier will left all her
assets, believed to be worth S$40
million (RM107.11 million), to
Yang, who has been accused by
Mok of taking advantage of the
87-year-old widow. Chung was
diagnosed with dementia last year,
the daily wrote.
The new will does not mention
Yang and leaves most of Chung’s
money to charity.
Doraisamy told reporters he
had filed an application with the
police to ask if he can see Yang in
prison and inform him of the application for the new will directly.
“Yang Yin’s counsel has not had
approval from the prisons to see
their client ... so they can’t take
instructions,” he added.
Yang faces more than 300
charges. Two of them involve
criminal breach of trust for allegedly misappropriating S$1.1 million from Chung, The Straits Times
wrote. Yang has questioned the
widow’s new will, arguing that her
medical condition precludes her
from creating one.
SINGAPORE: A high-level central
agency will be set up to coordinate
public- and private-sector efforts
to protect national systems such
as those in the energy and banking sectors from increasing cyber
threats, The Straits Times reported.
The new Cyber Security Agency
(CSA), which operates from April,
will be formed under and funded
by the Prime Minister’s Office.
It will bring under one roof the
oversight of 10 critical sectors including power, transport and telecommunications.
From April, Minister for Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim will also be the minister in charge of cyber security, the
daily wrote.
To be helmed by David Koh,
50, deputy secretary of technology at the Ministry of Defence, the
new agency will plug current cyber
defence gaps, such as breaches involving obscure companies that
could potentially compromise the
security of citizen data, given that
computer systems are more connected today.
The incoming chief executive of
CSA will retain his current position
at the Ministry of Defence.
For starters, the new agency will
have 60 dedicated technical and
policy development staff, with most
to be transferred from the Ministry
of Home Affairs and the Infocomm
Development Authority, the newspaper wrote.
Thailand warns US to mind its own business
BY AMY SAWI TTA LE FE V RE
BANGKOK: Thailand warned the
United States against meddling in
its political affairs yesterday, saying
many Thais had been hurt by the
remarks of a visiting US envoy who
took a swipe at the ruling military
junta’s undemocratic practices.
Thailand, a long-time US ally,
remains under martial law following a coup last May, and the junta
says a general election is at least a
year away.
Relations between the two sides
have deteriorated sharply since the
coup, with Washington freezing
aid and cancelling some security
engagements.
In an address to students at a
Bangkok university on Monday,
Assistant US Secretary of State for
East Asia and the Pacific Daniel
Russel called for more inclusive
politics and the end of martial law.
The comments from Russel, the
highest-level US official to visit
Thailand since the coup, came a few
days after ousted prime minister
Yingluck Shinawatra was banned
from politics for five years and indicted on criminal charges over a
state rice-buying scheme.
“We don’t agree with the assistant secretary of state talking about
politics at Chulalongkorn University. It hurt many Thais,” Thai Deputy
Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai
told reporters after summoning
the US charge d’affaires, Patrick
Murphy.
“If we comply with [Washington’s wish] and lift martial law and
it leads to problems, how will those
people who are asking for the lifting
of martial law take responsibility?”
he said. “In reality, Thais don’t even
know there is martial law.”
Russel had said while Washington did not take sides in Thai
politics, it was for the Thai people to determine the legitimacy of
the political and legal processes.
He expressed concerns that the
political process did not seem to
represent all elements in Thai society. — Reuters

BANGKOK: A Thai court yesterday sentenced the leader of the

Doubts arise over
Philippine autonomy law
Work on the legislation has been suspended because of Sunday’s clash with rebels
BY ROSEMA RI E FRA NCISCO
MANILA: Work to set up an autonomous Muslim region in the
Philippines to end a 45-year insurgency has been suspended and may
be abandoned altogether because
of a clash in which more than 50
people were killed, legislators said
yesterday.
A top official described the clash
between police and rebels on Sunday, which shattered a three-year
ceasefire, as a “misencounter” during a bid to arrest two militants
who had taken refuge with Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)
fighters, Reuters reported.
AFP reported that nearly 400
counterterrorist policemen were
dispatched to a remote farm on
Mindanao on Sunday to capture or
kill Zulkifli Hir alias Marwan, one
of the 2002 Bali bombers who has
a US$5 million (RM18.1 million)
price on his head.
After killing a person they
thought to be Zulkifli, the police
withdrew but were ambushed by
the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, a militant splinter
group that rejects the peace deal
and last year pledged allegiance
to Islamic State fighters in Syria
and Iraq.
The officers escaped but strayed
into territory controlled by the
10,000-member MILF, the main
rebel group, which signed the pact
10 months ago.
The police suffered 44 dead and
12 wounded. Rebels gave no figures
for their own dead or wounded.

Crime levels are low

occasional killings
tend to make
headlines because of
their lurid nature.
Mori had become acquainted
with her alleged murderer when
she tried to persuade the young
woman to join a religious group.
The killing allegedly occurred at
the student’s apartment in Nagoya, central Japan, with an axe the
suspect had acquired as a junior
high school student, Jiji Press reported. On the day of the murder, she reportedly tweeted: “I
eventually did it.”
The student’s name was not
released because she is a minor
under Japanese law. Crime levels
are low in Japan and murder is
uncommon, however, occasional
killings tend to make headlines
because of their lurid nature. In

India sends foreign minister to
China after Obama visit
NEW DELHI: India’s foreign minister will travel to China this weekend, New Delhi said yesterday, a
day after Barack Obama ended a
visit aimed at renewing US ties
with the South Asian country.
Sushma Swaraj will go to Beijing
on Sunday to “discuss bilateral, regional and global issues of concern
to both sides” with her Chinese
counterpart Wang Yi, India’s government said in a statement.
They will also hold three-way
talks with Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov, the statement said.
The announcement followed
a high-profi le visit to New Delhi by the US president aimed at
cementing ties between the two
countries, which share an interest in curbing China’s growing
regional influence.
Although neither side mentioned China by name during Obama’s three-day visit, the US president welcomed what he called
a “greater role for India in the
Asia-Pacific” and said freedom of
navigation in the region must be
upheld.
India’s new Prime Minister Narendra Modi is widely seen as taking a more assertive line on China
than the previous government.
But experts say Modi will be
careful not to alienate neighbouring China, whose investment he
desperately needs as he tries to
boost India’s economy. — AFP
US threatens tougher action against Russia
KIEV: US Treasury Secretary Jack
Lew said yesterday that Washington
was ready to increase sanctions on
Russia over its actions in war-torn
Ukraine.
Lew’s comments during a visit to
Kiev came one day after EU heads
of state threatened to impose further financial measures against
Moscow in response to the latest
upsurge in violence in Ukraine’s
nine-month war.
“Our first choice is a diplomatic
resolution that allows us to lessen
sanctions. But we are prepared to
do more if necessary. To that end,
we’ll continue to work with our
allies to increase the pressure on
Russia,” Lew told reporters.
Russia denies backing the eastern insurgents and claims that past
measures against it are meant at
undermining President Vladimir
Putin’s 15-year rule.
“At the same time, we’ve been
clear from the beginning: if Mos-
cow fully implements its obligations
pursuant to the Minsk agreement,
sanctions against Russia could be
eased,” Lew added.
He also told his Ukrainian counterpart Natalie Jaresko — a US national confirmed to her post last
month — that Washington was
ready to provide up to US$3 billion (RM10.8 billion) in support
should Kiev press ahead with overdue economic restructuring measures. — AFP

uninitiated.
But the Emmy winner hopes his latest one, The Chinese Mayor, will finally
win some silverware at the independent
movie showcase event, held annually in
the Utah mountains, ending this coming
weekend.
The 40-year-old also wants the film to
counter Western misconceptions of his
homeland, and show the reality of the
modern country with a rare portrait of
life in a provincial Chinese city.
“I always think that there’s a misunderstanding about China, especially for
the Chinese government and Chinese
party,” he told AFP in an interview, while
insisting he was not a supporter as such
of the Beijing government.
“I would not say a fan,” cautioned
the producer, but added: “At least he’s
doing something more than the previous administration, which gives more
expectations for people.”
The Chinese Mayor tells the tale
of Geng Yanbo, dubbed “Demolition
Geng” after he became mayor in 2008
of former imperial jewel Datong, some
350km west of Beijing.
The city served as the capital of the
Northern Wei Dynasty during its heyday
1,600 years ago. But decades of mining
in the 20th century has left it dubbed
one of China’s most polluted regions.
Attracting tourists
Geng earned his name from his campaign to demolish much of the city
centre, relocating 40,000 of its 140,000
households, before rebuilding it in ancient style, with a view to attracting
tourists.
He is shown dealing with the com-
plaints of ordinary residents on the
street, regularly deciding individual
cases on the spot, while berating his
city contractors for their incompetence.
The downtrodden locals are shown
lambasting Geng and other party and
city leaders as being out-of-touch with
reality, ignoring their plight in his drive
to push through his overall city renewal plan.
But bizarrely, after the mayor is promoted to a bigger provincial capital and
leaves many of the projects half done,
there is a massive popular outcry calling for him to stay.
“Through making the film we learn it
is never only a black and white world,
or simply good and bad,” said Zhao.
The stereotypical view of corruption-plagued government is unfair, he
argues, or at least is only part of the
whole story — which the producer says
has not been told enough.

get most of their information from the
mainstream media, which is always a quite
stereotyped one. I don’t think they cover
most parts of China,” he said.
In fact, he said, even Chinese central
television “doesn’t cover most parts of
China either,” he added.
“There is this [story], it needs to be delivered to people. And nobody is doing that
job. I hope that as independent observers,
we’re able to deliver that message.”

THE BOY
NEXT DOOR
BY VI C H I T RA N ADES
Director: Rob Cohen
Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Guzman, Kristin Chenoweth, Ian Nelson, John Corbett,
Hill Harper, Adam Hicks, Bailey Chase, Lexi
Atkins
Rating: ***½ (out of 5 stars)
Length: 91 minutes
Opening: Now showing
The Plot: Newly-single Claire Peterson
(played by Jennifer Lopez, also one of the
producers of the film) is struggling to juggle
work, raise her son and settle her impending
divorce when she meets her new neighbour
— the mysterious and charming Noah Sandborn (Ryan Guzman). Despite the big age
difference, their attraction to one another
is undeniable and what was seemingly a
harmless one-night stand turns violent when
Claire learns her new love-interest harbours
a dangerous obsession with her and will not
stop at anything to take control of her life.
I
t is a shift for those who are used to seeing Lopez as the glamorous pop icon
that she is. (Her 2002 movie Enough,
a high-energy tale of a battered wife’s
fight for survival, is somewhat reminiscent of the challenging role she has
in The Boy Next Door).
Taking on the role of a high school literature teacher in this movie, Lopez is almost
unrecognisable but does a good job por-
traying a single mother who’s battling her
inner demons and coping with the troubles
of parenthood and her dwindling marriage.
It is only after Peterson hesitantly gives
into her temptation and allows Sandborn
to seduce her that she realises her mistake,
but it’s too late. From then on, she is taken
on a journey that will not only test her patience and strength but threatens the safety
of her loved ones.
Peterson’s son Kevin (Ian Nelson) — a
computer whiz trying to fit in — is immediately befriended by Sandborn and this poses
yet more troubles for Peterson.
After much reluctance, she eventually
confides in her best friend and colleague
Vicky (Broadway’s Kristin Chenoweth), who
tries to help her. Fearing for her family’s safety and job security, Peterson is left to fend
off Sandborn on her own and the more she
tries, the more dangerous he gets.
Step Up fans might recognise Guzman
from Step Up Revolution and Step Up: All In,
though his character is a complete contrast
to the clean-cut dancer roles he is used to
playing. Guzman plays a disturbed and angry young man with a dark history, albeit a
genius, who has several deep-rooted issues
that lead to his sociopathic behaviour.
Writers of the flick have stated that the
backbone of the plot was not really about the
violence or obsession, but more of betrayal
and forgiveness, and as the storyline dwells
into Sandborn’s past, you’ll see why. Peter-

twice about making it a family movie as it’s

for anyone under 18 as it contains more than
a few gory and explicit scenes.

Chelsea pair face fitness
race for Man City clash
Costa could earn a retrospective red card and suspension for stamping
LONDON: Premier League leaders
Chelsea could be without midfielder Cesc Fabregas and defender Filipe Luis for this Saturday’s top-ofthe-table clash against Manchester
City at Stamford Bridge.
Both came off during Chelsea’s 1-0 victory in the Capital One
(League) Cup semi-final second leg
against Liverpool on Tuesday, while
Branislav Ivanovic, who headed
the winner in extra time, is also a
doubt with a cut foot.
“Branislav could finish the game,
Fabregas and Filipe couldn’t,” Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho explained. “Filipe has a calf problem,
Fabregas has a hamstring.”
Mourinho added that Fabregas “said he wasn’t yet injured but
that he would be soon if he continued” but was uncertain whether he

English clubs
dominate
international
transfer deals
BY MI KE COL L ET T
LONDON: English clubs are
spending more money in the international transfer market than
any other country in the world
according to a FIFA report published yesterday. The findings
of the 2015 FIFA/TMS Global
Transfer Market Systems Report, covering the last 12 months,
shows English clubs spent more
than US$770 million (RM2.77 billion) on foreign players — about
US$308 million (67%) more than
their nearest rivals Spain.
In total, clubs around the
world spent US$4.06 billion signing players from outside their
own borders. The report does
not include domestic transfers.
Brazil is the most active country
with 1,335 deals — incoming and
outgoing — followed by England
with 1,263 and Portugal with 823.
One area highlighted in the
report for the first time concerns
the transfers of young players
under the age of 18. Spanish
clubs sign more overseas youngsters under 18. Mark Goddard,
general manager of FIFA/TMS,
told a conference call: “It is important to note that the more
minor applications the better ...
the ones that do not break any
rules are approved.” — Reuters

Diego Costa’s fiery temper,
meanwhile, could have earned
him a red card after two stamping
incidents during the match.
The Spain striker appeared to
tread down on Emre Can and Martin Skrtel. The west London club

the Football Association chooses
to take retrospective action.

Goal-heavy Socceroos say
they have jump on S Korea
BY P ETER HUTC HI S O N
NEWCASTLE: Ange Postecoglou
said he’s not worried about South
Korea’s miserly defence in the Asian
Cup final after the Socceroos underlined their incredible ability to
score through almost any player.
Defenders Trent Sainsbury and
Jason Davidson struck in Tuesday’s 2-0 semi-final win over
UAE to extend Australia’s tournament-leading tally to 12 — with
10 different scorers.
And Australia’s record has given
coach Postecoglou heart as he prepares for a South Korean side which
has reached the final without conceding, the first in 39 years to do so.
“We’ve played five games, we’ve
scored 12 goals and conceded two,
and we’re in the final, I think that
speaks for itself,” said Postecoglou.
Striker Tim Cahill is the only
man to net more than once, with
Massimo Luongo, Mile Jedinak,
James Troisi, Matt McKay, Robbie
Kruse, Mark Milligan and Tomi Juric all grabbing one apiece.
UAE marked Cahill heavily after his two goals in the quarter-final against China, but they were
caught by surprise when Sainsbury
and Davidson popped up for their
first international goals.
“There has been a lot of emphasis
on Timmy, and rightly so because
he was fantastic in the quarter-final, but I think this tournament
has shown that we can score goals
from other areas,” said Postecoglou.
He remains confident over his
attacking philosophy, saying it was
popular with both players and the
nation. No other Asian Cup side has
had more than six different scorers.
“It’s a massive game. We’ve now
been in Asia a little while but we haven’t won anything and this gives
us an opportunity to achieve something,” Postecoglou said. — AFP
S Koreans tough enough for Aussies, says captain Ki
SYDNEY: South Korea could thrive
in the role of underdogs when
they face hosts Australia in the
Asian Cup final this weekend, says
skipper Ki Sung-Yueng.
Having reached the final for
the first time in 27 years battered, bruised and held together by team spirit and sheer
bloody-mindedness, the Swansea City midfielder told South
Korean reporters yesterday that
the Red Devils have the steel to
go all the way.
“I believe it will come down
to mental strength,” said Ki, who
has been a calming influence on
South Korea after losing the influential pairing of Lee Chung-Yong
and Koo Ja-Cheol to injury in the
group stages.
“That will be more important
than physical strength,” he said,
noting that the Australians would
hold the advantage in terms of
power. “This is a great opportunity for South Korean football.”
South Korea’s rich pedigree
speaks for itself, the team famously reaching the World Cup semi-finals in 2002. But they have curiously failed to lift the Asian Cup
since 1960.
“We understand the magnitude
of the game without anyone telling
us,” insisted Ki when reminded
of the fact before this Saturday’s
showdown in Sydney.
But coach Uli Stielike has
moulded a resilient side in his
own image, the former West Germany international renowned in
his playing days as a steely defensive midfielder who went on to
become a fan favourite for Real
Madrid after joining them in 1977.
The Taeguk Warriors have
reached the final without conceding a goal, beating Australia
1-0 along the way to secure top
spot in Group A. — AFP

‘Happy’ Bale rules out
Manchester United move
BARCELONA: Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale says he is happy
at the Bernabeu and has no intention of moving to Manchester
United. Despite playing a significant role in Real winning their
celebrated 10th European Cup
and the King’s Cup last season
there has been talk of a move
back to the Premier League for
the Welshman. He has been criticised by a section of the Real
fans and the media for being
greedy on the ball and failing to
link up with his team mates. It
has led to rumours that he could
be part of a deal where United
goalkeeper David de Gea would
move to Real. “I can’t see myself
at Manchester United,” Bale told
Spanish radio. “In an interview
recently I was asked if I was happy in Madrid and I said that I
was very happy here.” — Reuters

Algeria secured their spot in

On a dramatic evening, Riyad
Mahrez set Algeria on their way

looked as if both sides would
be heading through to the last

Algeria’s lead eight minutes

Djokovic, Wawrinka set
up epic showdown
Ill Serena moves a step closer to 19th Grand Slam title
BY GREG STU TC HBURY
MELBOURNE: Top seed Novak
Djokovic and champion Stan Wawrinka set up “The Djoker v The Man
3.0” at Melbourne Park after impressive quarter-final victories yesterday, while an ill Serena Williams
moved a step closer to her 19th
Grand Slam title.
The American, however, will first
have to overcome the pure hitting of
Madison Keys after the 19-year-old
ended the fairytale run of Serena’s
older sister Venus, despite suffering
from a thigh injury that hampered
her movement.
With many suggesting prior to
the tournament it could signify an
epochal shift in both games, the
teenager represents the up and
comers in the semi-finals after
Djokovic and Wawrinka crushed
the last hopes of “Generation Next”
in the men’s draw.
Doping is public
health issue,
says WADA
TOKYO: Doping in sport is a
public health issue, the head of
the World Anti-Doping Agency
(WADA) said yesterday, because
of the spread of substance abuse
from elite athletes to school gyms.
“Too many people are taking too
many substances they don’t even
know,” WADA director-general
David Howman told AFP in an
interview in Tokyo.
Howman was speaking days
after cycling cheat Lance Armstrong said he would take banned
substances again if faced with
the same circumstances that saw
him dope in 1995. “If I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn’t do it
again because I don’t think you
have to,” Armstrong told the BBC.
“If you take me back to 1995,
when doping was completely
pervasive, I would probably do
it again.”
Howman was in Tokyo for
a conference involving sports
bodies and the pharmaceutical industry on how to stamp
out drug cheating. “Sometimes
children ... have taken drugs that
their parents don’t know they’re
taking,” he said.
While WADA has been trying to address the issue, “it’s not
our job because sometimes it’s
not elite athletes,” he said. “We
think this is a public health issue and we are supported by the
World Health Organisation and
by many others who now see it’s
not just a sport issue.” — AFP

singles quarter-final match yesterday. Photo by Reuters
Djokovic, seeking to become
the second man to win a fifth Australian Open title, beat Canada’s
Milos Raonic 7-6(5) 6-4 6-2 in the
late match on Rod Laver Arena,
hours after Wawrinka had easily
dispatched fifth seed Kei Nishikori
6-3 6-4 7-6(6).
“Definitely expecting a marathon like the last couple of years.
I’m sure that both of us will give
our best to perform our best tennis,” Djokovic said in a courtside
interview. “We always ask for the
best of each other.”
It will be the third successive
year Djokovic and Wawrinka have
met at the Australian Open, with the
man winning those epic clashes ultimately going on to clinch the title.
American teenager Keys proved
to be the ultimate party pooper with
her victory over Venus while at the
same time indicating the mantle of
American women’s tennis should
be in safe hands when it is moved
on from the two sisters.
Serena and Venus had been hoping to provide fans with the first
all-Williams sisters clash at a grand
slam since the 2009 Wimbledon
final in the semi-finals.
Keys, who was inspired at four
years old to take up the game after
seeing Venus play at Wimbledon,
refused to succumb to sentimentality and demonstrated the ball
striking and power hitting, which
had destroyed players of the calibre
of double Wimbledon champion
Petra Kvitova. — Reuters
Super Bowl, Tiger give Phoenix
Open extra spark
SCOTTSDALE (Arizona): The Waste
Management Phoenix Open and Super Bowl are both being staged this
week in the Phoenix area and Patrick
Reed (pic), one of the hottest players
on the PGA Tour, is licking his lips in
anticipation. The National Football
League’s showpiece is the biggest
sports event in the United States while
the US$6.3 million (RM22 million)
Phoenix Open, played at the TPC
Scottsdale, is renowned for its raucous
crowds and the loudest hole in golf.
Add to that the return of former
world No 1 Tiger Woods to PGA Tour
action this week, for the first time in
five months, and you have all the ingredients for a sporting extravaganza
in the Grand Canyon State over the
next five days.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Amer-
ican Reed told Reuters on Tuesday
after completing a practice round
on the par-71 TPC Scottsdale layout.
“We golfers are really looking forward to this week and hopefully we
will hit a lot of good shots and get the
crowds here roaring even louder.”
Reed, aged 24 and already a four-
time winner on the PGA Tour, made
his debut at the Phoenix Open on
Scottsdale’s Stadium Course last year
and has vivid memories of the infamous par-three 16th, the noisiest
hole in golf. Thousands of spectators
cram into the bleachers and sky boxes
surrounding the 163-yard hole, many
more swarming across the grassed
hill that faces the green, and they
loudly boo any golfer who fails to hit
the green off the tee.
Masters champion Bubba Watson, the world No 4, heads a strong
field this week. Tenth-ranked American Matt Kuchar, Rickie Fowler (11th)
and three-time former winner Phil
Mickelson are also competing. The
Super Bowl is played on Sunday at
the nearby University of Phoenix stadium in Glendale, Arizona. — Reuters
Scaled back Singapore Open to return next year
BY PATRICK J O HNS TO N
SINGAPORE: The Singapore Open,
once Asia’s richest golf tournament,
will return next year after a three-year
absence but with a vast drop in prize
money and without the European
Tour on board. The US$1 million
(RM3.61 million) Jan 28 to 31 event
will be co-sanctioned by the Asian
Tour and the Japan Golf Tour (JGTO)
after Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp agreed to a three-year sponsorship of the tournament, last held
in 2012 with a US$6 million purse.
“The Singapore Open was always
one of our best events and one that
our members strove to compete well
in,” Asian Tour chairman Kyi Hla Han
said yesterday. “It is tremendous to
have it back as it is an important event
for our region and our tour.”
Tournament promoters World
Sports Group (WSG) signed a fiveyear contract extension with the Singapore Golf Association days before
Italian Matteo Manassero lifted the
trophy at the Sentosa Golf Club in
November 2012 but they struggled
to find a replacement sponsor for
Barclays who quit that year.
WSG executive chairman Seamus
O’Brien was in the dark as to why no
corporation in wealthy Singapore
wanted to come on board and blamed
the global financial crisis for international sponsors not biting.
With the European Tour no longer
a co-sanctioning partner, the tournament will move to a January date and
serve as a likely curtain raiser for the
Asian and Japan Golf Tour seasons,
with each getting a minimum of 60
spots in a 156-man field, Han said.

Managing thigh injury
key to Madison’s success
MELBOURNE: Madison Keys
continued to ride her wave of
success, fuelled in part by celebratory chocolate biscuits, as
she advanced to her first grand
slam semi-final with a gutsy 6-3
4-6 6-4 victory over Venus Williams yesterday. The power-hitting 19-year-old had to battle
through a re-occurrence of the
thigh injury that forced her to
withdraw from Wimbledon last
year to set up a semi-final against
top seed Serena Williams tomorrow. “I felt it since the beginning.
It’s been tight, but it’s been something that with some treatment
its been fine,” Keys told reporters
after she needed an injury time

McIlroy looking for

DUBAI: Rory McIlroy says he’d

than thinking about his upcoming date in a Dublin court. The
world No 1 has fond memories
of recording his first win as a professional in what is the oldest golf
tournament in the Middle East,
and, having finished second in
his last three starts on the European Tour, McIlroy is hoping to
go one better and add to his 2009
title in the desert. Speaking to the
media on the eve of the tournament, McIlroy said: “One win
here at the Emirates, but seems
every time I come here I have a
chance and I play well. It’s a great
way to start the season. — AFP

China stocks fell yesterday on concerns
about tighter liquidity and a fresh slide
in oil prices, but Hong Kong managed
to eke out gains as telecommunications
counters climbed.
The CSI300 index fell 1.39% to 3,525.32
points by the end of the morning session,
while the Shanghai Composite Index slid
a similar amount to 3,305.74.
“Cyclical factors in the lead up to the
Lunar New Year, including required regulatory payments and moves in fiscal deposits, are putting pressure on the shortterm money supply in the market,” said
Pan Shaochang, an analyst at Dongguan
Securities.
“The expectation of new IPOs and restrictions on margin trading have also reduced net liquidity in the market.”
Chinese regulators will relaunch an investigation into stock margin trading, and
have been given notice banks to tighten
supervision of their lending practices to
ensure loans aren’t funnelled into stock
markets, sources with direct knowledge
of the matter told Reuters.
The news comes as Beijing moves cautiously to suppress the excessive use of leverage to make aggressive bets on Chinese
stock markets, which have gained around
40 percent since November.

Renewed concern over Greece and weak
results at companies such as Siemens and
Philips put an end to a winning run for European stock markets on Tuesday.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index,
which had risen for the past eight sessions,
closed down by 0.8% at 1,475.84 points.
The eurozone’s blue-chip Euro STOXX
50 index also declined 1.2% after a similar
eight-day winning streak. Those gains were
ignited by the European Central Bank’s plans
to buy government bonds to spur growth in
the struggling euro zone economy.
Greek shares underperformed for the
second day in a row. The benchmark Athens
ATG equity index closed down 3.7 percent
and Greece’s borrowing costs rose.
Investors were worried Greece’s new anti-bailout government would clash with the
European Union over the terms of Greece’s
bailout. Syriza, the party that won Greece’s
election on Sunday, opposes those terms.
Fears that investors could move deposits
out of Greek banks hit the sector. National
Bank of Greece fell 11.8%, while Bank of Piraeus also fell 12%.
“I’m staying away from the financials and
the banks at the moment, because they’re in
the firing line from any fallout from Greece,”
said Mirabaud Securities’ European equity
sales executive Rupert Baker.

Britain’s blue-chip equity index ended
lower on Tuesday after an eight-session
run to a four-month high, with banks
slipping on concerns the Greek crisis
could spread and miners tracking weaker
metals prices.
Mid cap oil producer Afren plunged
71% after saying it was in talks with its
largest bondholders over its liquidity and
funding needs.
The benchmark FTSE 100 index ended
0.6% lower at 6,811.61 points, also reacting to UK data showing gross domestic
product grew more slowly than expected
in the last quarter of 2014.
“UK markets were hit by broad-based
selling after UK growth estimates slipped
... with banks leading the declines under
threat of a looming crisis in Greece spreading across the financial system,” Jasper
Lawler, analyst at CMC Markets, said.
The UK banking index fell 1.2%, tracking a 11.7% fall in Greek banks to a record
low, on worries Greece’s new anti-bailout
government would clash with the European Union over the nation’s debts.
Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and
HSBC dropped 0.5% to 1.8%, with traders citing news of UK banks facing hefty
mis-selling claims as one reason for their
weakness.

US stocks closed more than 1% lower on
Tuesday as disappointing results from a
number of bellwether companies pointed
to weakening conditions, while an unexpected decline in durable goods orders
also weighed on sentiment.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
291.49 points, or 1.65%, to 17,387.21,
the S&P 500 lost 27.54 points, or 1.34%,
to 2,029.55 and the Nasdaq Composite
dropped 90.27 points, or 1.89%, to 4,681.50.
The day’s losses were broad, with nine
of the 10 primary S&P 500 sectors lower
on the day, though tech was the biggest
drag by far. The group lost 3.3% in its biggest one-day drop since November 2011,
in the wake of results from industry bellwether Microsoft. Industrial shares fell,
led by Caterpillar.
The two names were the biggest decliners
on the Dow, but fellow components Procter
& Gable and DuPont Co also tumbled.
Microsoft fell 9.3% to US$42.66 a day after the main engine of its historic earnings
power — selling Windows and Office to
big businesses — showed signs of waning.
Heavy machinery marker Caterpillar
gave an outlook below expectations, warning the recent plunge in oil prices would
hurt its energy equipment business. Shares
dropped 7.2% to US$79.85. — Agencies

Dollar climbs, but caution
reigns before Fed statement
The dollar rose against a basket of currencies
yesterday, recouping some of the previous
day’s sharp losses, on expectations the Federal Reserve is unlikely to deliver significant
changes to its policy outlook.
Two-year Treasury yields held above
0.51% in European trade, providing support
to the dollar. It fell on Tuesday after weaker-than-forecast corporate earnings and
durable goods data. The dollar index was
up 0.3% at 94.27, having posted its biggest
fall since early October on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, given investors have put in
place a huge amount of long dollar bets since
the second half of last year on expectations
that the Fed will start raising rates this year
as the US economy recovers, there was an
element of caution. — Reuters

Oil slips to US$49 on firm
dollar, US stock build
Oil slipped to US$49 a barrel yesterday as
the dollar strengthened, while an industry
report showing a larger-than-expected rise in
US crude inventories also pressured prices.
Crude futures settled up more than 2%
on Tuesday, when the dollar index posted
its biggest one-day fall since early October.
A weak US unit makes dollar-priced commodities cheaper for buyers holding other
currencies.
Brent crude has fallen almost 60% since
June, but since hitting a near six-year low of
US$45.19 two weeks ago, it has stabilised in
a narrow range just below US$50 a barrel.
“The key driver for oil prices in the last
few days has been currency fluctuations ...
we had seen some weakness in the US dollar which helped support prices overnight,”
Ric Spooner, chief analyst at CMC Markets
in Sydney, said. — Reuters

KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI fell 0.4% as banking stocks
weighed on the broader market. Malaysian shares also fell following a lower overnight close in US markets.
At 5pm, the KLCI was down 7.29 points at 1,795.88 on losses in stocks like Malayan Banking and Hong Leong Bank. “The
index fell [yesterday] following the decline in US markets overnight,” a remisier told theedgemarkets.com.
Banking stocks fell amid concerns Singapore’s move to
ease monetary policy might prompt regional central banks Top gainers and losers (ranked by percentage)
