These are not good companies, not to the extent that Mr Koon has invested so much money into them.

They are just companies coming off from very low base.

The misunderstanding may have gone too far..

Local furniture companies were trading at very low prices because local furniture industry is a sunset industry due to shortage of rubberwood. Do you still see rubber plantations in Malaysia?

The low prices have made all the FA numbers looked ok and were mistaken as good.

You cannot fight the market and the government policies and steps to curb properties prices.

Well if the government has decided it will just keeps setting more steps under it suceed. Look at Singapore, the properties prices there are expected to drop by 30% in the next 6 months.

So don't touch property counters for at least the next 3 to 6 months.

Furniture makers face labour and rubberwood shortage

By CHONG CHEE SEONG
MUAR
johor@nstp.com.my

MALAYSIAN furniture manufacturers are facing two acute problems -- shortage of labour and rubberwood -- resulting in a 4.6 per cent drop in the country's total export last year.
Johor Furniture Association president Bo Eng Chee said the country's export from January to November in 2010 was RM7.3 billion as compared with RM6.9 billion in the same period of last year.

He said the drop affected the export of wooden, metal and plastic furniture.

Bo, who is also the Muar Furniture Association (MFA) president, said the MFA and the Malaysian Timber Industry Board would jointly submit a memorandum to the Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry next month to address the two problems.

He said the shortage of rubberwood in the country had resulted in the price of the wood going up from RM1,400 to RM1,800 per metric tonne since last October.

He called on the government to stop the export of rubberwood and ensure a sufficient supply for the domestic market.

On the shortage of foreign labour, Bo said the implementation of the amnesty programme (codenamed 6P) for legal and illegal foreign workers was the main cause.

He said the shortage compelled furniture manufacturers to reject foreign orders for fear of it affecting their production and delivery of export goods.

Bo said it had a significant impact on export, adding that the furniture industry is one of Muar's economic lifelines and accounted for about 45 per cent of national furniture export.

He said a good opportunity had come to Malaysia in recent years when China's furniture industry lost its competitive edge and manufactuers in Thailand were affected by floods.

"Unfortunately, we are unable to capitalise on it because of the lack of workers and rubberwood."

Bo said the government should formulate a plan to ensure a sustainable supply of foreign workers and rubberwood to avoid interruptions in plant operations which have adverse effects on productivity.

He said with the introduction of the 6P programme, the industry was facing a 30 to 50 per cent drop in foreign labour, forcing small factories to close down.

The 6P programme comprises registration, legalisation, amnesty, supervision, enforcement and deportation of foreign workers.

Bo called on the government to monitor the programme closely to prevent job-hopping of legalised foreign workers.


The problems only can get more acute.

angelina2 Director sold before the cancellation of the JV, that could means he knew. Try to see the reason behind the sale instead.

In any case, it was also stated in that aforesaid announcement if JAKS can somehow get the financing, its gearing would be 15x that it most probably will not be able to get anymore loans for its other projects.

This means if it got the Vietnam project, there will be no pipeline project etc. Just one, not both.


This project has been delayed for many years. In fact the JV partner has changed, now for the second time.

If the JV partner from China cannot get the loan when China banks were very loose with their monies two, three years ago due to the Chinese government was doing its own money printing, I don't see how now, when there is a credit crunch in China, is a better bet.

scjm, I am wondering if you have read the circular highlighted by me?

JAKS itself has said as much in paragraph 5.2 of the circular.

JAKS' gearing would be 15x if it got the financing for the dam.

In any case, it is also stated that if it can somehow get the financing, its gearing would be so high that it most probably will not be able to get anymore loans for its other projects. This means if it got the Vietnam project, there will be no pipeline project. Just one, not both.

This project has been delayed for many years. In fact the JV partner has changed.

If the JV partner from China cannot get the loan when China banks were very loose with their monies two, three years ago due to the Chinese government was doing its own money printing, I don't see how now, when there is a credit crunch in China, is a better bet.

Are the trends confirmed?? Or you are trying to make the trends??

Noticed a lot of times so called TA experts called a trend even when the trend is not confirmed; this misleading and dangerous.

If he is a nice guy he will let PJDevp be, worst case scenario is that he will press down PJDEVP price soon before he will make an offer.

No difficult to press down the price of a property counter now due to the measures by the government to curb properties prices.

Moreover the high properties prices now might not be relevant to a property development company because you cannot be selling all your land bank and turned yourself into a cash rich PN17 company without a core business.

He will let PJDevp price drop as he is in no hurry as OSKP has lots of ongoing projects in Putra Jaya.

But if not cheap rubber wood and cheap foreign workers what advantages do they have over their competitors?

It is goreng because its sales have conveniently gone up in 2013 jusy right for the bull market.

Have you asked yourself how is this possible when US housing is in the slump and Euro unemployment rates are so high?

Mind you they are not selling high end furniture to the very very rich who are not affected by the economic slow downs.

You are assuming there price will be the same cum and ex dividend.

Also, there will never be capital loss as if the share price will not drop.
