Pos Malaysia is investing in more electric vehicles to hit its 2030 target of a 100% electric fleet. It is rolling out two-wheel e-bikes from Modenas and e-vans from Yinson GreenTech. “By the end of this year, we will have more than 1,300 e-bikes and more than 500 e-vans,” Brewer says. “But it doesn’t stop there: we are in discussion with the relevant Malaysian authorities to introduce electric three-wheel cargo bikes soon – a game-changer for us!”

Other sustainability investments include stripping out the colored ink from recycled packaging and marketing materials, rolling out telematics technologies to understand how to improve vehicle and driver safety and efficiency, reducing waste by banning plastic water bottles and cutting the amount of administrative printing, recycling and repurposing old uniforms, and investing in smart building management systems to control energy use during peak and off-peak operating times.

“We’ve done as many things as we possibly can to reduce the impact we have on the environment, from the smallest to the biggest, including getting rid of photocopiers – much as it upset some of the team. It is about starting new habits. A lot of sustainability is not the difficult stuff, it is just about retraining people to work in a different way.

"WE’VE DONE AS MANY THINGS AS WE POSSIBLE CAN TO REDUCE THE IMPACT WE HAVE ON THE ENVIRONMENT”

“And we have been able to do these things in the most positive way to align with our values – good for the planet, good for our people and good for the P&L,” Brewer confirms.

Jan 28, 2020 · KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 28 — Pos Malaysia Berhad (Pos Malaysia) will be revising commercial postage rates effective February 1, 2020, saying that the move will not affect the rakyat.

Jan 29, 2020 · POS Malaysia Bhd will be revising its postage rates following the approval by the government on the new rates effective Feb 1.😍😘🤗🤔

all things are possible, best wishes ya!

(i) the privatisation of POS at a premium over the market price, (ii) the return of profitability as cost rationalisation efforts finally pay off, and (iii) POS emerging stronger post the consolidation of the courier service segment after weak players are eliminated.

Logistics to ride on e-commerce boom. On a more positive note, we see a bright spot in the domestically-driven third-party logistics (3PL) sector which is less vulnerable to external headwinds being buoyed by the booming e-commerce. Industry experts project the local e-commerce gross merchandise volume to grow at a CAGR of 7% from 2023 to 2027, with size reaching RM1.9t by 2027 from RM1.4t in 2023.

The booming e-commerce will spur demand for distribution hubs and warehouses to enable: (i) just-in-time (JIT) delivery, (ii) reshoring/nearshoring to bring manufacturers closer to end-customers, (iii) efficient automation system including interconnectivity with the customer system, and (iv) warehouse decentralisation to reduce transportation costs and de-risk the supply chain. There is also strong demand for cold-storage warehouses on the back of the proliferation of online grocery start-ups.

dulu salah satu darling bursa

Pos Malaysia's share price reaching RM5+ at one point can be attributed to several factors that drove investor interest and confidence. These factors include:

1. **Positive Market Sentiment**: At that time, the market might have had positive sentiments regarding the company's growth potential, possibly due to new business strategies, government policies favoring the postal and logistics industry, or a booming economy.

2. **Monopoly Advantage**: Pos Malaysia enjoyed a monopoly in the domestic mail service, which might have contributed to strong revenue expectations and investor confidence in the company.

3. **Expansion Initiatives**: There could have been expansion initiatives or new revenue streams, such as increasing the focus on e-commerce logistics, which promised better growth prospects. The rise of e-commerce has led to increased demand for delivery and logistics services.

4. **Government Ownership and Support**: The company has significant government ownership, which may have reassured investors about the stability and future prospects of the business.

5. **Optimistic Earnings Reports**: Favorable quarterly earnings and financial performance during that period might have led investors to believe in the company's profitability and potential, driving up the share price.

6. **Speculative Trading**: Speculative buying due to market rumors or news could also have temporarily pushed the share price higher.

Market conditions, economic factors, and investor expectations all play a role in determining a company's share price. The spike to RM5+ could have been driven by a combination of these factors.

DRB-HICOM COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF KHAZANAH'S STAKE OF 32.21% IN POS MALAYSIA

The idea of the government buying back Pos Malaysia has both pros and cons, depending on various factors:

Advantages of a Government Buyback:

1. Public Service Focus: By buying back Pos Malaysia, the government can ensure that postal services continue to serve all regions of the country, especially remote areas, as part of public service obligations rather than being profit-driven.


2. Stabilizing Employment: A buyback would help protect the jobs of thousands of postal workers by ensuring that financial stability and service commitments are maintained without excessive focus on cost-cutting.


3. National Security: The postal system is part of a country's critical infrastructure, and government control can help safeguard sensitive communications and provide a more secure system for delivering official documents and goods.


4. Subsidized Services: The government could subsidize certain services, such as postal rates for rural areas or for specific demographics, to ensure universal access to essential postal services.


5. Strategic Investment: The government may see value in taking back control of Pos Malaysia to help modernize the postal and logistics sector, support e-commerce growth, and develop the sector as part of a larger strategy to boost economic activity.



Disadvantages of a Government Buyback:

1. Financial Burden: Buying back Pos Malaysia would require substantial funds, potentially placing a burden on taxpayers. Pos Malaysia's financial situation has been challenging, and the government would need to allocate resources for restructuring and improving operations.


2. Operational Inefficiencies: Government ownership can sometimes lead to inefficiencies in decision-making and a lack of innovation. Without the competitive drive of a private enterprise, Pos Malaysia could fall behind in an evolving logistics market.


3. Risk of Political Influence: Government ownership could expose Pos Malaysia to political interference, resulting in non-commercial decisions that may not be in the company's or industry's best interests.


4. Impact on Competition: A government-owned Pos Malaysia might also discourage private players in the postal and logistics market, leading to reduced competition, less innovation, and potentially higher prices for customers.



Conclusion:

The government should weigh the benefits of ensuring essential public services against the costs and potential inefficiencies of ownership. If the goal is to maintain service quality and universal access, the government might consider supporting Pos Malaysia with regulations, subsidies, or public-private partnerships rather than outright ownership. Alternatively, a partial buyback or an equity stake could allow the government to influence important decisions while maintaining operational independence.

Postal rates in Malaysia should be revised due to several reasons:

1. Rising Operational Costs: The cost of transportation, fuel, wages, and maintaining infrastructure has increased over the years. A revision in postal rates can help compensate for these rising expenses.


2. Decline in Traditional Mail Volumes: With the increasing adoption of digital communication, the volume of traditional mail has dropped, leading to reduced revenue for postal services. Revising rates could help cover the revenue gap.


3. Expansion of E-commerce: The growth of e-commerce has shifted the focus to parcel deliveries, and a rate adjustment could align with the increased demand and expectations for faster, more reliable parcel services.


4. Service Quality Improvement: Revising postal rates can help invest in improving the quality of services, including technology upgrades, enhanced logistics, and expanded delivery networks.


5. Financial Sustainability: Many postal services, including Pos Malaysia, are struggling to maintain financial sustainability. A revision in rates can help ensure the viability of the postal system and prevent potential losses.


6. Comparative Market Rates: Postal rates may need to be adjusted to remain competitive with other private courier services, ensuring that the postal service can continue to attract both individual and business customers.



Adjusting the rates will help maintain a balance between providing efficient service and keeping the postal organization financially healthy.

Postal services should undergo consolidation; close down unprofitable outlets without govt subsidy & support.

SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
The Group has three reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic
business units. The strategic business units offer different products and services and are
managed separately because they require different business processes and attend to different
customer needs. For each of the strategic business units, the Group Chief Executive Officer (the
chief operating decision maker) and the Board of Directors review internal management reports
at least on a quarterly basis. The following summary describes the operations in each of the
Group’s reportable segments:
Postal Includes the provision of basic mail services for corporate and individual
customers, courier, parcel and logistic solutions by sea, air and land to
both national and international destinations, direct entry and transhipment
and customised solutions such as Mailroom Management and Direct Mail
and over-the-counter services for payment of bills and certain financial
products and services.
Aviation Includes cargo and ground handling, in-flight catering, freight and
forwarding and air cargo transport.
Logistics Includes haulage services, freight and forwarding, shipping agency and
chartering services, warehousing and distribution services

On 21 May 2024, Pos Logistics Berhad (“PLB”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Pos
Malaysia Berhad, entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), in relation to the
disposal of 100% equity interest in PNSL Berhad (“PNSL”) to SWA Shipping Sdn. Bhd. (“SWA”),
for an indicative total consideration of RM123.2 million (“Proposed Disposal of PNSL”).
On 19 August 2024, all the Conditions Precedent have been fulfilled and the SPA has become
unconditional on even date (“Unconditional Date”). PLB and SWA had mutually agreed to
amend the completion date from within 21 days from the Unconditional Date to within 111 days
from the Unconditional Date for the parties to complete the proposed disposal.

Pos Ar-Rahnu Sdn. Bhd. is based in Malaysia, with the head office in Kuala Lumpur. The enterprise currently operates in the All Other Nondepository Credit Intermediation sector. It was incorporated on March 30, 2012. In its most recent financial highlights, the company reported a net sales revenue increase of 25.03% in 2022. A growth of 3.31% was recorded in its total assets.

$$$$$$$. Low stock price: Pos Malaysia’s stock has seen declines in recent years, primarily due to challenges in its traditional postal services and operational inefficiencies. For investors who believe in the company’s turnaround potential, the current stock price may represent a good entry point, offering upside potential if the company successfully restructures and modernizes.

KUALA LUMPUR (May 21): Pos Malaysia Bhd (KL:POS) is selling its ship chartering unit that mainly deals with bulk cargoes for RM123.21 million as part of a move to shed non-core businesses.
The proposed sale of PNSL Bhd to SWA Shipping Sdn Bhd will also settle outstanding intra-group trading debts and advances owed to Pos Malaysia, the company said in an exchange filing on Tuesday.
The disposal came at a time when the group announced another quarterly loss of RM19.69 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 (1QFY2024), though narrower by 29% from RM27.66 million a year ago as growth in revenue from its postal services and aviation segments outpaced costs increases. The group has been loss making since FY2019.
Proceeds from the disposal are expected to strengthen its cash flow and reduce its interest expenses, Pos Malaysia said on Tuesday.
Of the RM123.21 million, SWA Shipping needs to pay RM55.61 million for the purchase of the entire equity interest in PNSL.
Meanwhile, the remaining RM67.60 million is for settling outstanding debts and advances that PNSL owes within its group of companies.
Pos Malaysia said the initial inter-company (interco) amount may be adjusted based on an independent verification process by which, for the period from July 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024, the Interco amount will be verified by an auditor chosen by SWA Shipping.
Meanwhile, for the period from May 1, 2024 to the completion date, the Interco amount will not be audited, but Pos Malaysia must provide monthly statements detailing movements of the Interco amount, including a brief description of the purpose of these movements.
The proposed disposal would allow it to “reposition and realign its investments into more profitable businesses with growth prospects, in line with current industry trends”, the company said.
The disposal is expected to “unlock and realise the value of the investment in PNSL”, which represents part of Pos Malaysia's non-core businesses, with the proceeds to be raised expected to strengthen its cash flow position and contribute positively to future earnings.
Pos Malaysia said it plans to allocate RM92.94 million of the disposal proceeds for working capital, and RM27.81 million for repayment of bank borrowings, which stood at approximately RM505 million as of Dec 31, 2023.
SWA Shipping, the acquiring entity, is a private company specialising in freight forwarding and transportation in international and coastal waters.
Subject to regulatory approvals and barring any unforeseen events, the disposal is anticipated to conclude within four months following the signing of the sale and purchase agreement, Pos Malaysia said.
At market close on Tuesday, shares in Pos Malaysia settled unchanged at 47 sen, valuing the company at RM363.99 million. Year to date, the stock has slipped 6%.

The disposal of **PNSL (Pos Aviation Sdn. Bhd., also known as Pos Malaysia's aviation and logistics unit)** could help **Pos Malaysia** in several ways, especially in terms of refocusing its core business, improving financial health, and optimizing operations. Here's how the disposal might benefit Pos Malaysia:

### 1. **Refocusing on Core Business**
- **Streamlining operations:** Pos Malaysia's primary business revolves around postal, courier, and logistics services. PNSL, being in aviation-related logistics, might have been a non-core asset for Pos Malaysia. By selling or disposing of PNSL, Pos Malaysia can focus its resources and energy on improving its core operations such as postal delivery, e-commerce logistics, and last-mile solutions.
- **Simplifying business structure:** Managing diverse business segments can be complex and lead to inefficiencies. By divesting non-core subsidiaries like PNSL, Pos Malaysia can streamline its organizational structure, which could lead to better strategic focus and quicker decision-making.

### 2. **Financial Benefits**
- **Reducing financial strain:** Pos Malaysia has faced financial challenges in recent years due to declining mail volumes and increasing competition in the courier industry. Disposing of PNSL can help Pos Malaysia reduce operational costs and improve cash flow, especially if the aviation unit was underperforming or requiring significant capital to maintain.
- **Raising funds for debt reduction or reinvestment:** The sale of PNSL could bring in cash proceeds, which Pos Malaysia can use to reduce debt, improve liquidity, or reinvest in more profitable areas, such as expanding its courier or e-commerce logistics services. This can strengthen the company’s financial position.

### 3. **Minimizing Risk Exposure**
- **Lowering exposure to volatile industries:** The aviation and logistics sector is capital-intensive and sensitive to external factors like fuel prices, economic downturns, and regulatory changes. By disposing of PNSL, Pos Malaysia can reduce its exposure to the risks inherent in the aviation industry, especially given the ongoing challenges faced by the global aviation sector post-COVID-19.
- **Mitigating operational inefficiencies:** If PNSL was struggling with inefficiencies or high costs, selling the unit would allow Pos Malaysia to focus on improving its other more stable and profitable business lines. This could also prevent further financial drain from the aviation segment.

### 4. **Improving Shareholder Value**
- **Boosting profitability:** By focusing on its core competencies (postal, courier, and logistics services) and offloading non-core, underperforming assets, Pos Malaysia may improve its overall profitability and operational efficiency. This could lead to better financial results, which would ultimately benefit shareholders.
- **Attracting investor confidence:** Divesting non-core or unprofitable subsidiaries can be seen as a positive move by investors, signaling that Pos Malaysia is taking steps to restructure and strengthen its business. This could boost investor confidence and improve the company's stock market performance.

### 5. **Strategic Realignment**
- **Positioning for future growth:** The disposal of PNSL allows Pos Malaysia to realign its strategic priorities, potentially shifting more resources toward growing segments like e-commerce logistics, digital services, or last-mile delivery solutions. These areas are experiencing significant growth due to the rise of online shopping and the demand for faster, more reliable delivery services.
- **Leveraging partnerships:** By divesting PNSL, Pos Malaysia may also free up resources to form strategic partnerships or acquisitions in other logistics sectors that complement its core business, such as warehousing, fulfillment, or technology-driven solutions.

### Conclusion
The disposal of **PNSL** helps **Pos Malaysia** by allowing it to focus on its core business, improve its financial health, reduce operational and industry-specific risks, and streamline operations. By shedding non-core, potentially underperforming assets, Pos Malaysia is better positioned to address market challenges, optimize its resources, and improve long-term profitability.

Govt support further boost😁

KUALA LUMPUR: Pos Malaysia Bhd (Pos Malaysia) menyasarkan membuka 14 lagi cawangan Pos Shop di seluruh negara tahun ini dan menambah lebih daripada 40 cawangan pada 2025.

Ketua Pegawai Pemasaran, Komunikasi dan Kelestarian Kumpulan Pos Malaysia, Fiona Liao berkata, ia akan menjadikan sebanyak 50 cawangan Pos Shop tersedia untuk beroperasi pada 2024.

Beliau berkata, strategi pertumbuhan yang agresif itu menekankan komitmen syarikat untuk meningkatkan akses dan kemudahan kepada komuniti Malaysia.

"Sejak melancarkan Pos Shop pertama di Jalan Medan Tuanku pada Mei 2023, kami telah menyaksikan peningkatan purata sebanyak 34 peratus jumlah pengunjung di pejabat pos yang berkaitan.

"Kejayaan itu membuktikan konsep peruncitan inovatif kami yang menggabungkan perkhidmatan pos tradisional dengan kemudahan moden," katanya selepas majlis pembukaan Pos Shop Pudu yang juga cawangan Pos Shop ke-36, hari ini.

Majlis disempurnakan oleh Timbalan Menteri Komunikasi, Teo Nie Ching.

Mengulas lanjut, Liao berkata pembukaan cawangan baharu itu menandakan satu lonjakan yang mengujakan dalam misi kumpulan untuk merevolusikan perkhidmatan pos dalam era digital.

Beliau berkata, kumpulan sangat teruja dengan pelancaran Pos Shop Pudu yang melambangkan dedikasi untuk memperbaharui pengalaman pelanggan.

"Pos Shop baharu memperkenalkan konsep 'Shop in Shop' yang inovatif ke pasaran, mewakili perubahan besar daripada model tradisional," katanya.

Liao berkata, walaupun Pos Shop asal diintegrasikan dalam pejabat pos, reka bentuk inovatif ini menempatkan pejabat pos di dalam Pos Shop, menawarkan pengalaman runcit yang segar dan kontemporari.

Katanya, evolusi itu mencerminkan komitmen Pos Malaysia untuk menyediakan penyelesaian sehenti bagi komuniti setempat, dengan menggabungkan perkhidmatan pos dan bungkusan dengan ruang runcit yang menyediakan keperluan harian dalam suasana membeli-belah yang selesa.

"Menerusi pelancaran Pos Shop ke-36, kami sangat teruja untuk terus menginovasi ruang dan memperhalusi penawaran produk untuk selaras dengan permintaan pasaran, sambil menyediakan penyelesaian sehenti yang komprehensif untuk pengeposan dan mendapatkan keperluan mudah.

"Dengan menyediakan peluang kepada perusahaan kecil dan sederhana (PKS) tempatan mempamer dan menjual produk mereka melalui konsainan atau penyenaraian langsung, Pos Malaysia secara aktif memacu pertumbuhan ekonomi dan memenuhi keperluan komuniti.

"Pendekatan ini bukan sahaja menggalakkan pembangunan ekonomi, tetapi juga menyokong keperluan komuniti, mewujudkan situasi sama menang untuk Pos Malaysia, perniagaan tempatan dan pelanggan," katanya.

Sementara itu, Nie Ching pula berkata, Kementerian Komunikasi memuji inisiatif Pos Malaysia dengan membangunkan bahagian runcit dan menyokong usahawan tempatan melalui jualan produk di Pos Shop.

Beliau berkata, Pos Malaysia bukan sahaja meningkatkan pengalaman pelanggan dan memenuhi keperluan komuniti, tetapi memberikan sumbangan yang bermakna kepada pertumbuhan ekonomi dan pembangunan komuniti negara.

Katanya, Pos Shop diperkenalkan sejajar dengan pelan transformasi Pos Malaysia untuk memanfaatkan 630 pejabat pos di seluruh negara dan lebih daripada 4.7 juta kaki persegi ruang runcit menawarkan pelbagai produk dan perkhidmatan untuk pelanggan.

"Saya juga berbangga kerana setakat ini lebih daripada 80 usahawan PKS tempatan telah menerima manfaat daripada setiap cawangan Pos Shop dari Mei 2023 dan Ogos 2024," katanya.

Selain fundamental analysis bagi pos above, technical analysis bagi pos dah wujud seperti 😎berikut ya: 😎

Technicals: Pos Malaysia – Possible for Trend Reversal (4634, Technical Buy)
POS is potentially staging a breakaway from its downtrend, with anticipation of continuous improvement in both momentum and trend in the near term. Should immediate resistance level of RM0.360 be broken with renewed buying interest, it may continue to lift price higher to subsequent resistance level of RM0.375. However, failure to hold on to support level of RM0.325 may indicate weakness in the share price and hence, a cut-loss signal.

Boleh exit bersama ka? Hehe

Pos Malaysia's Islamic pawn shop, known as **Ar-Rahnu**, has several competitive advantages over conventional pawn shops like PapaJack, contributing to its potential for growth in Malaysia. Here are some key reasons why Ar-Rahnu could outgrow PapaJack:

### 1. **Shariah Compliance and Appeal to Muslim Market**
- **Shariah-compliant offerings:** Ar-Rahnu operates based on Islamic principles, avoiding interest (riba), which appeals to the majority Muslim population in Malaysia. Customers trust the Islamic financial model, which adheres to religious values.
- **Wider reach among Muslim consumers:** With over 60% of Malaysia’s population being Muslim, Ar-Rahnu has a built-in market advantage by offering a product that is religiously and culturally acceptable.

### 2. **Reputation and Trust**
- **Pos Malaysia’s national presence and brand trust:** Pos Malaysia has a long-established brand name and a wide-reaching network of branches across the country. This established trust can attract more customers, as people tend to trust established, government-linked institutions more than private businesses.
- **Reputable regulation and transparency:** As part of a government-linked company, Ar-Rahnu is perceived to be better regulated and more transparent, which may inspire more confidence among customers compared to a privately-owned entity like PapaJack.

### 3. **Broader Reach through Extensive Network**
- **Extensive branch network:** Pos Malaysia's postal network allows Ar-Rahnu to have branches in both urban and rural areas, ensuring convenience and accessibility for a larger customer base. PapaJack, being a private business, might not have the same nationwide footprint.
- **Utilization of existing infrastructure:** Pos Malaysia can leverage its existing infrastructure (such as branches and staff) to operate Ar-Rahnu more cost-effectively and efficiently. This scalability makes it easier to expand rapidly.

### 4. **Competitive Pricing and Flexibility**
- **Lower operational costs:** Since Pos Malaysia already has a vast branch network, its operational costs might be lower than private competitors like PapaJack, which need to invest heavily in expanding their physical presence. This could result in more competitive rates and pricing structures for customers.
- **Transparent and fair practices:** Ar-Rahnu offers transparent contracts that are often seen as more ethical, with no hidden fees, leading to increased customer satisfaction.

### 5. **Government and Regulatory Support**
- **Support from Islamic financial institutions:** Ar-Rahnu often benefits from support and regulation under Malaysia’s Islamic finance framework. This may give it preferential access to financial backing, government support, and regulatory guidance.
- **Synergy with national policies:** Pos Malaysia’s Ar-Rahnu could also benefit from national policies aimed at promoting Islamic finance and supporting government-linked companies, giving them an edge over private competitors like PapaJack.

### 6. **Ethical Appeal to Broader Community**
- **Socially responsible financing:** Islamic pawnshops like Ar-Rahnu emphasize ethical and socially responsible financing. The profit-and-loss sharing (based on **ujrah**, or service charges) instead of interest-based lending could appeal not only to Muslims but also to non-Muslims looking for an alternative to conventional high-interest pawnshops.

### 7. **Strategic Partnerships and Collaborations**
- **Partnership with other Islamic financial institutions:** Pos Malaysia could potentially collaborate with other Islamic financial institutions or organizations to promote Ar-Rahnu. This could include offering integrated services like Islamic savings plans, further expanding its customer base.

### Conclusion
While PapaJack is a popular pawnshop chain and may serve a different market segment, the unique advantages of Pos Malaysia's Ar-Rahnu – including its Shariah compliance, trusted brand, extensive reach, and lower costs – position it for faster growth in Malaysia, especially in the context of a largely Muslim population and growing demand for Islamic financial services.

Speed99 is being developed😎😍😍

The post shop provides a one-stop solution for the local community, combining postal and parcel services with a retail space, offering daily necessities in a comfortable shopping environment.

The post shop also provides a Pos Kafe with a variety of food options, including coffee, drinks and fast food, in addition to selling daily necessities, personal care products, and household items.

Pos Malaysia also aims to add 14 more post shop branches in some states, to bring the total to 50 stores across Malaysia by end-2024.

Also present at the Pudu post shop launch on Monday were Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai, Bukit Bintang MP Fong Kui Lun, and Pos Malaysia Bhd (KL:POS) group chief marketing, communications and sustainability officer Fiona Liao.

Pos Malaysia holds a license for providing postal services and related financial services, including its Pos ArRahnu (Islamic pawnshop service), due to several key factors that align with its longstanding presence, infrastructure, and regulatory adherence:

1. Established Infrastructure and Trust

Pos Malaysia is one of the oldest institutions in the country, with a widespread network of post offices throughout Malaysia. This gives it a natural advantage in providing services like Ar-Rahnu as it already has a broad customer base and locations for operations.

Pos Malaysia is seen as a trusted entity with a strong track record in delivering services to the public, which increases its credibility for receiving licenses for additional services, including Islamic pawnshops.


2. Regulatory Adherence

Pos Malaysia operates under the regulatory framework of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and complies with both Islamic financial principles and national regulations.

It has the financial strength and governance structures required to meet the stringent regulatory requirements for offering Islamic financial products, including the operational expertise to handle Shariah-compliant pawnshop services.


3. Government-Linked Status

Pos Malaysia is a government-linked company (GLC), which gives it additional clout when applying for licenses, as it has a historical relationship with the government and aligns with national financial inclusion objectives. This status often provides regulatory advantages, especially in sectors like financial services, which are closely monitored.


4. Diversification Strategy

Pos Malaysia has been diversifying its service offerings, especially as traditional postal services decline due to the rise of digital communications. Ar-Rahnu provides an additional revenue stream and aligns with its strategic shift toward offering a broader range of financial services.

By leveraging its existing infrastructure, Pos Malaysia can efficiently operate an Ar-Rahnu service, reducing costs compared to new market entrants that need to build everything from scratch.


5. Shariah Compliance and Expertise

Pos Malaysia already has Shariah governance structures in place due to its other Islamic financial services, allowing it to easily expand into Ar-Rahnu. This operational familiarity with Shariah compliance makes it easier for Pos Malaysia to meet regulatory requirements.


By holding this license, Pos Malaysia can tap into the growing market for Islamic pawnshops while using its vast network and infrastructure to serve a broader customer base.

Buy pos Malaysia. Many potential biz inside it😁

Islamic pawnshops, or Ar-Rahnu, hold significant potential in Malaysia due to their alignment with the country’s Shariah-compliant financial system, as well as the increasing demand for Islamic financial products. Here's why they are valuable:

1. Shariah Compliance

Ar-Rahnu operates based on Islamic principles, offering an ethical, interest-free alternative to conventional pawnshops. This makes it attractive to the majority-Muslim population in Malaysia who seek financial services that comply with Islamic law.


2. Accessible to Lower Income Groups

Ar-Rahnu provides easy access to microcredit, particularly for lower-income individuals and small businesses, without the burden of high interest rates. This supports financial inclusion.


3. Collateral-Based Loans

It offers quick loans by using gold or other valuable assets as collateral. This creates a lower risk for lenders while giving borrowers access to funds.


4. Growing Demand for Gold-Based Financing

Gold is seen as a safe investment, and its usage as collateral makes Ar-Rahnu attractive, especially during economic downturns.


5. Government Support

The Malaysian government encourages the development of Islamic finance, including Ar-Rahnu, as part of its broader strategy to promote financial inclusivity and Islamic banking.


Challenges to Acquiring an Ar-Rahnu License

1. Regulatory Framework

Islamic pawnshops fall under Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) and Shariah advisory councils’ purview, requiring strict adherence to Islamic financial principles. The regulatory framework is rigorous to ensure compliance, making it harder to obtain licenses.



2. Stringent Capital Requirements

There are high capital requirements for setting up an Ar-Rahnu, including provisions for the safekeeping of collateral (gold and valuable assets). This limits the ability of small players to enter the market.



3. Shariah Governance

Applicants must prove that their operations strictly follow Shariah principles, which involves extensive consultation with Islamic scholars and certification from Shariah advisory boards.



4. Operational Expertise

Managing an Ar-Rahnu requires specific operational expertise, including dealing with the valuation, security, and handling of gold, which adds another layer of complexity.




Despite these challenges, the market potential for Islamic pawnshops in Malaysia is growing, driven by the country's strong Islamic finance sector and the increasing demand for ethical financial services.

Mau jadi king of ESG 😎

Pos Malaysia Bhd is set to fully transition to electric vehicles by 2030 under its sustainability roadmap, in a move aimed at reducing carbon emissions and lowering operational costs.

- **Tourism rebound**: Surge in tourism post-pandemic boosts revenue potential for Oversea Enterprise’s restaurants.
- **Economic recovery**: Increased consumer spending and F&B demand create favorable conditions for a high valuation.
- **E-commerce growth**: Rising demand for food delivery and online services increases the company's appeal to buyers.
- **Industry consolidation**: Ongoing M&A activity in the F&B sector provides an opportunity for a premium sale.
- **Strong asset base**: Valuable real estate holdings enhance the company's overall valuation.
- **Leadership uncertainty**: Eddie Chai’s passing creates a leadership vacuum, making this an opportune time to sell before potential business stagnation.
- **Maximizing shareholder value**: Selling now allows shareholders to capitalize on strong market conditions and unlock maximum value.

ESG, foreign funds like😉
PETALING JAYA: Pos Malaysia Bhd (Pos Malaysia) sekali lagi menjadi pelopor dalam memartabatkan amalan kelestarian korporat di negara ini.

Melalui forum tahunan 'Beyond the Boardroom' yang diadakan baru-baru ini, syarikat pos nasional berkenaan mengumpulkan pemimpin industri dan pakar untuk membincangkan strategi mempercepat usaha mencapai matlamat kelestarian.

Forum tahunan kedua yang diadakan di Petaling Jaya pada 19 September itu dianjurkan secara bersama dengan Bursa Malaysia, UN Global Compact Network Malaysia & Brunei (UNGCMYB), Capital Markets Malaysia, dan Forest Interactive.

Ia bertujuan memperkukuh strategi kelestarian korporat dan memacu usaha ke arah mencapai matlamat alam sekitar yang lestari.

Dengan tema 'Fast-Track Your Company's Sustainability Endeavour', forum itu mengumpulkan pakar industri untuk membincangkan pendekatan praktikal dalam pelaksanaan inisiatif kelestarian.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan Pos Malaysia, Charles Brewer, menyatakan kebanggaannya terhadap perkembangan forum tersebut yang kini menjadi platform penting bagi perbincangan terbuka mengenai kelestarian.

"Kerjasama dan perkongsian ilmu memainkan peranan penting dalam usaha kami mengurangkan karbon sejajar dengan matlamat Malaysia untuk mencapai neutral karbon menjelang 2050," kata Brewer.

Beliau yakin bahawa usaha kolektif ini bukan sahaja akan membawa kepada kejayaan kelestarian, tetapi juga mewujudkan penanda aras baru bagi tanggungjawab korporat.

Forum juga turut menampilkan penceramah seperti Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Bursa Malaysia, yang menegaskan kepentingan ketelusan dalam laporan kelestarian bagi membina kepercayaan pelabur dan memperkukuh ketahanan syarikat dalam pasaran yang semakin mencabar.

Sementara itu, Shanta Helena Dwarkasing dari UNGCMYB membincangkan hala tuju masa depan dalam landskap kelestarian yang kian berkembang.

Inisiatif baharu turut diperkenalkan oleh Pos Malaysia melalui Laporan Pelepasan Karbon Pos Hijau, yang bakal dilancarkan pada Disember 2024.

Laporan berkenaan akan membolehkan pelanggan mengukur dan mengurus pelepasan karbon Skop 3, menjadikan Pos Malaysia sebagai syarikat logistik pertama di Malaysia yang menyediakan laporan sedemikian.

Yes, selling **Oversea Enterprise Berhad** now could be seen as a strategically **good timing** due to the following factors:

### 1. **Tourism Boom**:
- As **tourism rebounds** after the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in Southeast Asia and Malaysia, the **food and beverage sector** is experiencing renewed demand. Restaurants and food-related businesses benefit significantly from increased tourist traffic, which boosts revenue. Oversea Enterprise, with its well-known Chinese restaurants catering to both locals and tourists, could capitalize on this surge in tourism.
- The increased foot traffic and consumer spending in key locations, especially in urban centers and tourist hubs, could raise the company’s valuation.

### 2. **Economic Recovery**:
- With the **global economy recovering**, Malaysia’s **GDP growth** has improved, along with rising consumer spending. The **middle class** is also showing greater purchasing power, leading to increased demand for dining experiences. This economic backdrop is favorable for businesses in the F&B industry, making the company more attractive to potential buyers.
- Investors often see growth opportunities in economic recovery periods, where businesses poised to benefit from rising consumption can be valued at a premium.

### 3. **Better Valuation Due to Stronger Financials**:
- With the recovery in tourism and economic activity, **Oversea Enterprise’s financial performance** could improve, leading to stronger revenues and potentially higher profits. This might position the company for a more **favorable valuation**. A prospective buyer might pay more if the business shows it can generate better cash flow in the recovery period.

### 4. **Attractive Market Conditions**:
- Post-pandemic, the food and beverage market is shifting, with **consolidation** happening across the industry. Larger players are seeking to acquire established brands with strong footholds in key locations. Oversea Enterprise, with its iconic name and history in Malaysia, could attract buyers looking to expand their presence in the region.
- Additionally, **e-commerce and food delivery platforms** have grown during the pandemic, adding new revenue channels for restaurant operators. A buyer might see this as a chance to grow the company’s business through online food delivery and catering services.

### 5. **Rising Investor Interest**:
- Investors, especially private equity firms or strategic buyers, are looking for **established brands** in the food sector with growth potential. Oversea Enterprise, with its well-established brand, reputation, and loyal customer base, could be seen as a strong acquisition target, particularly with the potential for expansion both locally and regionally.

### 6. **Strong Asset Base**:
- **Oversea Enterprise owns valuable real estate** in some key locations, which could further increase its attractiveness. In the post-pandemic recovery, property values in urban and tourist areas are rebounding, which could enhance the overall value of the company’s assets, making now an ideal time to sell.

### 7. **Favorable Exit for Shareholders**:
- With tourism and the economy recovering, this may be an **optimal window for shareholders to exit** at a higher valuation. Eddie Chai’s passing and the possible lack of interest in continuing the business from heirs or current management could make this recovery period the best time to maximize shareholder returns.

In conclusion, disposing of Oversea Enterprise now could be a good move given the **tourism boom, economic recovery, stronger financial performance**, and **investor interest** in the food and beverage sector. Selling during this upward trajectory could allow the owners to capitalize on improved market conditions and secure a premium valuation for the business.

**Oversea Enterprise Berhad**, a well-known Malaysian restaurant chain and food manufacturing company, was rumored to be up for sale following the passing of **Eddie Chai**, its controlling shareholder. There are several potential reasons for why Oversea Enterprise might be sold or face a strategic shift after Eddie Chai’s death:

### 1. **Succession and Leadership Vacuum**:
- Eddie Chai, who passed away in July 2022, was the controlling shareholder and a key figure in driving the company’s direction. With his passing, there may be uncertainties around **succession planning** and leadership. Often, when a company’s key figure dies, there might be pressure to sell if the next generation or current leadership lacks the same vision or willingness to continue running the business.

### 2. **Family Dynamics and Interests**:
- In some cases, the family or heirs of a deceased businessperson may have differing views on whether to continue with the business or liquidate assets. If Eddie Chai’s heirs are not interested in running Oversea Enterprise or prefer to focus on other ventures, selling the company may be a logical option to unlock the value of their shares.

### 3. **Financial Pressures or Strategic Exit**:
- **Oversea Enterprise** has faced its share of financial difficulties in the past, particularly due to **intense competition** in the restaurant sector and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively affected the food and beverage industry. Eddie Chai's passing may have accelerated discussions about restructuring or selling the business to handle financial pressures or streamline the company’s operations.

- A strategic sale could also be a way to attract fresh capital, new leadership, or a new direction for the company in an increasingly competitive market.

### 4. **Unlocking Value for Shareholders**:
- Oversea Enterprise owns valuable **real estate** and intellectual property linked to its restaurant brand and food products. Selling the business could be a way for shareholders to **unlock value** and potentially capitalize on these assets. If a buyer is willing to pay a premium for the company's assets or brand, it may present an opportunity to maximize the value for existing shareholders.

### 5. **Potential Buyers or Acquisition Offers**:
- After Eddie Chai’s death, potential buyers may have shown interest in acquiring Oversea Enterprise due to its established brand and long history in the Malaysian dining scene. A sale might be triggered by outside parties offering an attractive deal to the shareholders or board of directors.

### 6. **Changing Industry Landscape**:
- The **food and beverage industry** has undergone significant shifts, especially with the rise of food delivery platforms, changes in consumer behavior, and post-pandemic challenges. A sale could be viewed as a response to the changing landscape, with new owners potentially having the resources or expertise to navigate the evolving industry better.

In summary, the potential sale of Oversea Enterprise after Eddie Chai’s death could be influenced by leadership uncertainties, family dynamics, financial pressures, or a strategic decision to unlock the value of the company’s assets. The absence of its key leader may have prompted discussions about the best future direction for the company, including a possible sale to new investors.

The major shareholders of **Pos Malaysia Berhad** include significant institutional investors and government-linked entities. Here are the key shareholders:

### 1. **DRB-HICOM Berhad**
- **DRB-HICOM**, a diversified Malaysian conglomerate with interests in automotive, property, and logistics, is the **largest shareholder** in Pos Malaysia. As of recent filings, DRB-HICOM owns around **53.5%** of Pos Malaysia's shares. DRB-HICOM is itself linked to prominent businessman **Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary**.

### 2. **Government-linked Institutional Investors**
- **Employees Provident Fund (EPF)**: The EPF, Malaysia's national retirement savings fund, is a significant institutional investor in Pos Malaysia.
- **Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB)**: PNB, a government-linked investment company, holds a stake in Pos Malaysia.
- These entities often hold positions in key national infrastructure companies.

### Why They Still Hold Pos Malaysia

There are several reasons why these major shareholders, particularly **DRB-HICOM**, continue to hold stakes in Pos Malaysia despite some financial challenges in recent years:

1. **Strategic Importance**:
- **National infrastructure**: Pos Malaysia plays a crucial role in the national postal and logistics network. For DRB-HICOM and government-linked institutions, maintaining control over such an important entity aligns with national interest and infrastructure priorities.
- Pos Malaysia has a large, established network across the country, which is valuable for the potential expansion of e-commerce logistics, courier services, and other delivery systems.

2. **Long-term Growth Potential**:
- Despite declining mail volumes, Pos Malaysia has significant potential in the **e-commerce** and **logistics** sectors. With the rise of online shopping and digital platforms, the company could capitalize on increasing demand for delivery services.
- The shift toward e-commerce and supply chain logistics could create future profitability.

3. **National Service Obligations**:
- As the national postal service provider, Pos Malaysia has certain public service obligations (PSO), including universal postal service, which makes it a strategic asset for the government.
- Some shareholders may be holding on due to these national service roles and the associated responsibility of keeping the postal network functional.

4. **Turnaround Plans**:
- DRB-HICOM has previously indicated restructuring and transformation plans for Pos Malaysia, aimed at modernizing operations, investing in technology, and improving cost efficiency. The company may be seen as a long-term turnaround project, especially as logistics continues to evolve.

5. **Synergy with DRB-HICOM's Other Businesses**:
- DRB-HICOM, being a major player in automotive and logistics, may see Pos Malaysia as an important part of its broader logistics and supply chain ambitions, particularly in integrating various aspects of its portfolio.

In summary, the major shareholders of Pos Malaysia, particularly DRB-HICOM and government-linked entities, likely continue to hold their positions due to its strategic importance in national infrastructure, its long-term potential in the logistics sector, and its alignment with broader business and national interests.
