SC mau tangkap, kerajaan madani terhebat
KUALA LUMPUR: Lim Kok Boon, a former chief executive officer of GW Plastics Holdings Bhd, and a friend have been ordered to pay a total of RM2.01 million.
The High Court on Monday ruled in favour of the Securities Commission (SC) in an insider trading civil suit filed against Lim and Cheah Mean Har.
Lim was the CEO and non-independent executive director of GW Plastics at the material time.
High Court judge Adlin Abdul Majid ordered Lim, 66, and Cheah, 47, to each pay the SC RM142,500 disgorgement, which is three times the profits gained by Cheah as a result of the insider trading breach.
Lim and Cheah were also required to pay a civil penalty of RM1 million and RM500,000 respectively the SC said in a statement.
Additionally, the court ordered Lim and Cheah to pay costs of RM200,000
and RM30,000 respectively to the SC.
Lim is also barred from being appointed as a director of a public listed company for a five years beginning from the date of the court judgment on April 22 this year.
The High Court found that Lim had breached section 188(3)(a) of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 (CMSA) when he communicated material non-public information to Cheah.
Cheah subsequently acquired GW Plastics shares on Sept 25 2017 and Sept 27 2012, and was found liable by the High Court for a breach under section 188(2)(a) of the CMSA.
"The material information was in relation to a proposed share sale agreement between GW Plastics and Scientex Packaging Film Sdn Bhd and a proposed distribution of the cash proceeds arising from the share sale agreement to the shareholders of GW Plastics.
"The information was announced by GW Plastics to Bursa Malaysia on Oct 3 2012. This decision serves as a strong deterrent against insider trading, signifying the SC's resolve to uphold market integrity," the commission said.
It added that the joint accountability of the corporate insider and the trader underscores the SC's commitment to address market misconduct and
abuses that can affect the integrity of the capital market.
Both Lim and Cheah had filed an appeal against the High Court judgment on Monday.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) said the 54th edition of the Matta Fair at the Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre (Mitec) from March 22 -24 has been "exceptionally" successful.
The event surpassed expectations by attracting over 170,000 visitors and generating more than RM230 million in sales, Matta claimed.
"We have implemented a strategic plan to alleviate traffic congestion, which has been a concern during previous travel fair.
"Through the provision of shuttle services from key transportation hubs like Mitec's vicinity, KL Sentral and Sunway Putra Mall, we managed to reduce traffic-related complaints by an impressive 65 per cent.
"The overwhelming positive response to this initiative from fairgoers demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach in ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience for visitors," said Matta president Nigel Wong.
According to Matta, the event saw the participation of 278 exhibitors. They included 12 national tourism organisations (NTOs) and eight state tourism organisations (STOs), an indication that the Malaysian tour and travel industry remains vibrant and is expected to grow.
Domestic sales turnover amounted to more than RM31 million, indicating massive growth potential in domestic tourism which has seen significant growth post-Covid-19, it added.
Wong said Matta is working with with RapidKL to augment the transportation options available to fairgoers.
As part of these efforts, he said there will be a substantial increase in the number of buses in service, significantly reducing the waiting time intervals for attendees.
This initiative is to encourage all visitors and exhibitors to take public transportation or park their cars at Sunway Putra Mall and KL Sentral for future Matta Fairs.
"The success of Matta Fair March 2024 is a significant milestone, signaling that the tourism industry is on the last stages of recovery and is geared towards rapid growth over the next few years," Wong added.
China secured the top spot among the top 10 most popular destinations with Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Turkiye, Vietnam, Taiwan, Switzerland, Italy and United Kingdom following closely.
For domestic tourism, consumers have a preference for purchasing packages from Selangor, Sabah, Terengganu, Pahang, Kedah and Penang mainly due to the logistic considerations and diverse range of attractions.
Data also revealed that during the fair, travel packages from over 67 international destinations across North Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia were in demand

Ho hup is a syariah-compliant stock. in many ways, syariah investing also inherently encourages investors to practise a long term investment horizon due to its principles.
By avoiding speculative and high-risk ventures, ho hup aligns with the patient capital approach. A deliberate focus on long term sustainability contributes to the resilience of shariah stocks like ho hup in weathering short term market fluctuations hehe

While Kadir has nevertheless highlighted the three Bumiputera tycoons acknowledged by Forbes, there were some cheeky comments to his Facebook post claiming that there could be an even a longer list of Bumiputera billionaire politicians or even their cronies than genuine business tycoons.
This of course cannot be immediately verified but a case in point is that it has been almost nine years and counting yet the inheritance dispute over the late former science, technology and innovation minister Tan Sri Jamaluddin Jarjis’s (JJ) estate valued at an estimate of RM2.1 bil remains unresolved.

LONDON: Prices of homes being sold in Britain are close to their record highs after the biggest annual increase in a year, according to an industry survey that suggested the momentum in the housing market of early 2024 extended into April.
Property website Rightmove said on Monday its asking prices for residential properties rose by 1.7% in the four weeks to April 13 when compared with the same period last year. Prices sought by sellers rose by 1.1 per cent in month-on-month terms, slowing from a 1.5 per cent increase in the previous four weeks.
The average new seller asking prices of 372,324 pounds (US$463,320) was only 570 pounds of a record hit in May 2023, Rightmove said.
Other measures of Britain's housing market have also shown a recovery in demand and prices, helped by a fall in borrowing costs which surged in 2022 when former Prime Minister Liz Truss's plans for sweeping tax cuts upset financial markets.
Rightmove said the number of new sellers was 12 per cent higher than a year earlier and the number of sales was up by 13 per cent. Demand was strongest in the high-end segment where asking prices in 2024 so far are up by the most since 2014.
Demand for properties typically sought by first- and second-time buyers - who are typically more mortgage-dependent rose by less, the survey showed.
"Despite the current optimism, these are not the conditions to support substantial price growth," Tim Bannister, Rightmove's director of property science, said.
"Sellers who are keen to secure their sale will still need to price realistically for their local market and avoid being over-ambitious."
(US$1 = 0.8036 pounds)

Property sector , recovery path started, etc
KULAI: Seventy per cent of the property development in Forest City, Iskandar Puteri, has been sold within the past two years and is set to continue to increase over the next three or four years.
State Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor said the impact of property sales would further boost the economic sector in the area.
"Many unsold properties over the past four years have been sold within two years.
"For example, in Forest City, which people call a 'ghost town,' many people do not know that 70 per cent of the real estate development there has been sold, as well as in Country Garden and the surrounding areas of Johor Bahru," he told reporters after the Hari Raya Aidilfitri Open House in Hutan Bandar Kulai here today.
He said this when asked to comment on the number of properties sold in Forest City so far.
He said that it is among the positive impacts of the continuous efforts of the state government, which is always committed to addressing the issue of unsold properties.
Meanwhile, Mohd Jafni said the state government's initiative to enhance the efficiency of work processes and governance to reduce red tape or bureaucracy in the government delivery system could be a catalyst for progress in the state.
He said this could be seen through a recent statement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who anticipated Johor to become the most developed state in Malaysia following the implementation of several high-impact projects.
"I fully agree with the Prime Minister's statement because Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi has engaged with investors from Singapore and China. All of this is happening," he said.
Last Thursday, Anwar was reported to have said that high-impact projects such as the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) and the Special Financial Zone (SFZ) could drive Johor's economy to surpass other states within the next one to two years.

Let’s explore why wars might have a positive impact on Kawan Food’s products, the frozen food manufacturer:
Shift in Consumer Habits:
During wars or crises, consumer habits often change.
The popularity of frozen food tends to increase as people seek convenient, long-lasting options.
Kawan Food’s products, including roti, paratha, and spring rolls, fall into this category.
Robust Demand:
Despite disruptions to production facilities during the Covid-19 pandemic, Kawan Food experienced strong demand.
Orders were not canceled, and the company even increased its market share in the domestic market.
Before the pandemic, Kawan Food held about 60% of the domestic market share.
Backlog of Orders:
Temporary closures and workforce restrictions led to a backlog of orders from both local and overseas customers.
Kawan Food’s utilization rate is expected to rise as it resumes production at full capacity.
New Products and Export Markets:
Kawan Food’s growth prospects lie in new products and export markets.
South America, its newest overseas market, is expected to contribute positively.
The company’s ability to secure new workers and increase headcount will boost production.
Embracing Industry Revolution 4.0:
Kawan Food is adopting digitization and efficiency-enhancing projects.
These initiatives reduce wastage, improve production efficiency, and lessen reliance on manpower.
In summary, wars indirectly drive demand for Kawan Food’s frozen products due to changing consumer habits, leading to a positive outlook for the company. 🌟🍽️🚀

Let’s unravel the enchanting tale of why Iranians flock to the Malaysian property market like curious travelers drawn to hidden treasure chests:
🌟 The Persian Carpet Chronicles: A Journey to Malaysia 🌟
Once upon a time, in the bustling bazaars of Tehran, whispers of a faraway land reached the ears of Iranian dreamers. They spoke of a place where durians danced with monsoons, and the sun dipped into the sea like a golden coin. That place was none other than Malaysia.
🏠 The House of Spice and Harmony 🏠
Affordable Alchemy:
Iranians marveled at Malaysia’s affordable living costs. The currency, like a humble genie, stretched their dirhams and rials into magical proportions.
“Buy a home,” the wise elders said, “and watch your wealth multiply like jasmine vines.”
Cultural Kaleidoscope:
Malaysia’s diverse culture beckoned like a siren’s song. Iranians reveled in the fusion of Malay batik, Persian carpets, and Chinese lanterns.
“Here,” they whispered, “your heart can dance to a thousand rhythms.”
Economic Alchemy:
The strong economy shimmered like a desert mirage. Iranians saw skyscrapers sprouting like date palms, and their hearts quickened.
“Invest,” the merchants advised, “and watch your dirhams dance the tango with ringgits.”
Political Serenity:
Malaysia’s political stability was a soothing balm. Iranians sought refuge from the tempests of their homeland.
“Here,” they sighed, “our dreams can bloom like hibiscus flowers.”
The MM2H Spell:
The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program cast its enchantment. Iranians held golden visas like ancient scrolls.
“Stay awhile,” the MM2H wizards intoned, “and weave your tales into our tropical tapestries.”
🔮 The Grand Prediction 🔮
And so, Iranians bought homes in Malaysia—condos with durian-themed balconies, villas by moonlit beaches, and apartments overlooking rainforests. Their laughter echoed through the corridors, blending with the call to prayer from distant mosques.
The Property Pixies danced, whispering secrets of rental yields and capital gains. The Property Portal glimmered, connecting Tehran to Kuala Lumpur in a cosmic embrace.
And as the sun dipped into the Strait of Malacca, Iranians raised their glasses of teh tarik, toasting to a new chapter—a home where spices mingled, cultures harmonized, and dreams took root.
For in Malaysia, they found not just properties, but a place where hearts could wander and souls could soar. 🌏🇮🇷🇲🇾
Remember, dear reader, this tale is spun from stardust and imagination. But the truth remains: Iranians find solace and adventure in the Malaysian property market, where every brick whispers, “Welcome home.” 🏡✨

Let’s embark on a whimsical journey through the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program and its magical impact on property sales in this tropical wonderland:
🌴 The Enchanted MM2H Portal: Where Dreams Take Root 🌴
Once upon a time, nestled amidst lush rainforests and bustling cities, there existed a mystical gateway known as the MM2H Portal. Brave souls from distant lands sought passage through its shimmering visa pages, seeking refuge and adventure in the land of durians and monsoons.
🏡 The Property Pixies Awaken 🏡
As the first MM2H visa was stamped, a curious thing happened: Property Pixies emerged from the dew-kissed grass. These mischievous beings flitted about, whispering secrets to potential buyers:
Pixie of Price Harmony:
“Fear not, dear wanderer! MM2H visa holders have their own minimum purchase price. No wild bidding wars here!”
And so, property prices danced in harmony, neither soaring too high nor plummeting into the abyss.
Pixie of Expat Elegance:
“Behold! MM2H visa holders seek abodes by the sea, near bustling markets, or atop misty hills.”
Developers, inspired by these whimsical preferences, crafted homes with secret spice gardens and moonlit balconies.
Pixie of Cultural Crossover:
“Listen closely! MM2Hers crave fusion—Malay batik meets Persian carpets, Chinese lanterns embrace Iranian calligraphy.”
Thus, homes bloomed with vibrant tapestries and fragrant spices, a symphony of cultures.
🌟 The MM2H Effect Unfolds 🌟
The Rainbow Bridge:
The MM2H Bridge connected Kuala Lumpur to the world. As visa holders strolled across, they glimpsed rainbows and whispered, “Home.”
The Durian Dividend:
MM2Hers reveled in durian feasts, their laughter echoing through orchards. Developers, sensing opportunity, built condos with durian-themed balconies.
The Monsoon Mirage:
MM2Hers danced in monsoon rains, their laughter mingling with thunder. Property agents, inspired, marketed homes as “Rain Symphony Residences.”
The Sunset Serenade:
MM2Hers gathered on Penang’s shores, sipping teh tarik as the sun dipped. Condos sprouted like palm trees, each balcony a stage for sunset sonatas.
🔮 The Grand Prediction 🔮
And so, the Property Pixies foretold: “MM2H visa holders shall weave their dreams into the fabric of Malaysia. Property sales shall flourish, and homes shall echo with laughter, love, and the occasional durian scent.”
And thus, dear reader, the MM2H program cast its enchantment upon the Malaysian property market, forever intertwining the destinies of expats and cozy bungalows. 🏠✨
Remember, this tale is but a whimsical weave of imagination. In reality, the MM2H program does indeed influence property sales, but without the pixies and durian-themed balconies. 😉🌟🇲🇾

The Israel-Iran conflict has influenced the migration of Iranians to Malaysia for several reasons:
Safety and Stability:
Malaysia is considered a safe haven for Iranians seeking refuge from regional tensions.
The country’s political stability and lack of direct involvement in the conflict make it an attractive destination.
Ease of Migration:
Malaysia offers visa-free entry for Iranian nationals, simplifying the migration process.
Iranians can easily enter the country for tourism, study, or business purposes.
Educational Opportunities:
Many Iranian students choose Malaysia for higher education.
The country hosts several reputable universities with English-medium programs.
Affordable Living Costs:
Malaysia provides a relatively affordable cost of living compared to Western countries.
Iranians find it economically viable for long-term settlement.
Cultural and Religious Ties:
Malaysia’s multicultural environment resonates with Iranians.
Both nations share a Muslim-majority population, fostering cultural connections.
Business and Trade:
Iranians engage in business ventures in Malaysia due to its strategic location in Southeast Asia.
The country serves as a gateway to regional markets.
Diplomatic Relations:
Malaysia maintains diplomatic relations with both Iran and Israel.
Iranians perceive Malaysia as a neutral ground for dialogue and cooperation.
In summary, the Israel-Iran conflict has prompted Iranians to seek safety, education, and economic opportunities in Malaysia, leading to an increasing migration trend. 🌏🇮🇷🇲🇾

The Iranian diaspora in Malaysia is incredibly diverse, comprising various groups such as supporters of the Green Movement, students, religious practitioners, and business owners. Let’s explore the reasons why more and more Iranians choose to migrate to Malaysia:
Post-Islamic Revolution Phenomenon:
The Iranian diaspora in Malaysia emerged after the contested 2009 presidential election.
The regime’s crackdown on activists and mass protests led many Iranians to seek refuge abroad.
Malaysia, with no visa requirements for Iranian nationals and a comparable cost of living, became an immediate and affordable refuge.
Diverse Community:
The community includes not only political dissidents but also:
Students: Funded either privately or by the Islamic Republic.
Business Owners: Especially those in the travel and financial services sectors.
Journalists, Artists, and Environmentalists.
Vulnerable Position:
Unlike their counterparts in North America and Europe, Iranian migrants in Malaysia cannot acquire citizenship except through significant investments or marriage to a local.
If unable to secure residency or citizenship, they face a dilemma:
Return to Iran: Often reducing or hiding their activism.
Migrate to a Third Country: A limited option.
Limited Political Activism:
Iranian political activism in Malaysia tends to focus on reformist agendas rather than calls for regime change.
The presence of Iran’s security apparatus in Malaysia adds to the vulnerability of dissident migrants.
Friendly Relations and Surveillance:
Due to friendly relations between Iran and Malaysia, the Islamic Republic extends its intelligence presence into the country.
Iranians in Malaysia often feel under surveillance, affecting their activism and behavior.
In summary, Iranians migrate to Malaysia seeking safety, affordability, and opportunities, but their vulnerable status and limited political activism shape their experiences in this diverse diaspora community. 🌏🇮🇷🇲🇾

The High-Speed Rail (HSR) project connecting Malaysia and Singapore has been a topic of interest for years. Let’s explore the reasons why it is very likely to be built:
Economic Integration:
The HSR would significantly enhance economic integration between the two countries.
It facilitates seamless travel, boosts tourism, and encourages cross-border business activities.
The potential for increased trade and investment makes it an attractive proposition.
Reduced Travel Time:
The HSR promises to cut down the journey time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to only 90 minutes.
Compared to the current four-hour road journey, this substantial reduction in travel time is a game-changer.
Previous Commitments:
Although the project faced delays and postponements, both Malaysia and Singapore have previously committed to the HSR.
The recent revival of the project indicates a renewed interest and determination to see it through1.
Infrastructure Development:
The HSR serves as a catalyst for infrastructure development along its route.
New stations, connectivity, and urban development are expected to emerge, benefiting both countries.
Tourism and Connectivity:
The HSR would encourage more tourists to explore both Malaysia and Singapore.
It opens up opportunities for joint tourism promotions and cross-border experiences.
Strategic Importance:
The HSR strengthens the strategic position of both nations in the region.
It enhances connectivity within Southeast Asia and positions them as hubs for international travel.
Environmental Considerations:
The HSR promotes sustainable transportation by reducing reliance on road travel and lowering carbon emissions.
In summary, the HSR project holds immense potential for economic, social, and environmental benefits. While challenges exist, the shared vision and commitment make it likely that the HSR will become a reality. 🚄🌏

The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program is a popular choice for many, including Iranians, due to several compelling reasons:
1. **Long-term Residency**: MM2H offers a renewable 10-year visa, providing a stable option for long-term residence¹.
2. **Investment Opportunities**: Participants are allowed to invest in or start a business, subject to domestic regulations².
3. **Quality of Life**: Malaysia is known for its high standard of living, modern infrastructure, and comprehensive services¹³.
4. **Cultural Diversity**: The country's multicultural environment is welcoming to people from various backgrounds¹⁴.
5. **Cost of Living**: Malaysia offers a relatively low cost of living, which is attractive to many expatriates¹².
6. **English Proficiency**: English is widely spoken, making communication and business easier for foreigners¹².
7. **Strategic Location**: Malaysia's location in Southeast Asia makes it a hub for travel within the region¹².
8. **Property Ownership**: MM2H participants are permitted to purchase property in Malaysia¹³.
9. **Healthcare**: The country has quality healthcare facilities, which is a significant consideration for many immigrants¹⁴.
10. **Safety and Political Stability**: Malaysia is considered politically stable and safe, which is appealing to those looking for a secure environment¹⁴.
For Iranians specifically, the MM2H program offers an opportunity to live in a country that provides a sense of community and familiarity. There is a significant Iranian diaspora in Malaysia, which includes students, business owners, and professionals⁸. This community can offer support and a sense of belonging to new arrivals.
Additionally, Malaysia's relatively affordable cost of living compared to other countries, combined with the absence of visa requirements for Iranian nationals, has made it an accessible and attractive destination⁸. The diverse and vibrant Iranian community in Malaysia includes a wide range of individuals, from students to entrepreneurs, adding to the appeal for new migrants seeking a supportive environment[^10^].
