Dyson also exploits cheaper costs of doing biz by moving from UK by avoiding higher taxes and labour in UK and to be nearer to its cheap suppliers. Certainly Dyson can not say they really care about ESG issues but in reality only care to maximize profits. Just ask what people in UK said about Dyson moving out of UK to Asia. It certainly not that Dyson really care about its employees and obligations to pay fair taxes in moving away from UK.

Wonder why people like Andy Hall do not raise similar issues on labour in country like Bangladesh where we are sure the working conditions and salaries are not better than here. Bangladesh produce and export a lot of garments for well known international brands.
This also a good lesson for our companies that before this always tend to prefer foreign labour to locals and not investing enough in high tech to replace or reduce labour requirements. If foreign labour are needed in the future, better to import from neighboring countries, not from far away places to avoid similar problems.

This counter is not the type that will simply go limit up and then limit down. WZ1 is in the process of changing it's biz direction with the entry of new biz together with impressive new shareholders. This will bode well for WZ1 going forward!

Just wondering why this Andy Hall so concerned about foreign workers here? Why don't he take a look at the issues of labour in say Bangladesh, India, Nepal act ? Who actually pay him? Surely he does not do it out of good intention using his own money, after all he has to earn a living and he has a good and expansive lifestyle to fund unlike the typical cheap labour!

On the other hand, these workers are not grateful that they get employment in Malaysia and no body were forcing them to come here to work here. Most of the exploitations were actually done by their own fellow country men during recruitment that involve among other thing lending money at usurious rates to these workers.
In their own countries these so called forced labour can't get jobs and the working conditions are far worst than here.
I must state that I am against any forms exploitation, and labour must be treated with respect and fairly paid. What is surprising however, many well known international clothing brands for example, are using very cheap labour working in horrible and unsafe factories in for example Bangladesh and elsewhere too, but we don't often hear from these importer countries banning these imports?

@Johnzhang,PP investors are not simpletons otherwise how come they got chosen and able to subscribe those new shares? Just take a look at the stock price of Cyparks. What if these investors sold their shares or short them when the price were above the current low price just quite recently and then cover or buy back via PP. We know the price for PP share will always be at a discount and the management can wait for the "right price" to fix the PP share's price.

Availability of cheap labour will not encourage the industries to be more efficient and investing more in technology. Salary for labour has not kept up with the cost of living and the gap between the workers at the bottom are huge and the gap continue to increase. These issues if not recognized and addressed urgently will have social, economic and political consequences, sooner or later.

Malaysia addiction to foreign has been mentioned again and again for many years already and yet we continue to have more and more foreign laborers despite the fact that many Malaysians are jobless.
Many employees prefer to employ foreign workers as these workers can be easier to control apart from being "cheap". In addition there exist an industry to supply labour to countries like Malaysia. There are many recruiting agents in both in Malaysia and in the foreign labour countries that greatly benefit from import and export of labour. Even the medical sector that provide health screenings and testings equally benefit from this industry. And of course some politicians and even civil servants had some thing to gains in the biz of foreign labour.
A lot of people apart from employers themselves got some thing to gain from this biz of foreign labour. No wonder Malaysia continue to prefer foreign labour. Yet many of our own people are working in foreign countries like Singapore, Australia etc.

Many innocents were attracted with similar companies like KPower. May be they expect the company can do magic within a very short time. Very surprised that many had chosen to ignore well tested companies that also participate in green energy space for already some time.
May be this is a good lesson for us not speculate blindly with full emotion and ignoring the likely reality on the ground. Even if we had chosen to use only our common sense, we would likely start questioning how can this company suddenly got so many contracts all over the places within such a very short time period?

Most put the value on MMC at least RM 3.50 or even more. Those who are intelligent and patient enough to invest in MMC had harvested good gains and let us move on to other equally, if not more , undervalued counters. And fortunately there are many still around !

Well don't blame any body for taking a good but much undervalued company such as MMC private. Many had chosen to invest or speculate companies with no real biz and ignore companies with excellent biz.
Still there are many much unappreciated and hence undervalued companies still remain listed. Try to understand their biz and biz models and the impacts on their capital structures and cashflows. Don't just simply assume companies with heavy borrowings and with negative cashflows are bad.

To avoid or minimize possibility of investing in companies that may be affected by foreign labour issues, best to avoid export based companies and stick to companies that don't export their product overseas especially to more developed countries.

The whole market being dragged down as there must be other companies will have issues on so called "forced labour".
The corporate sector must rethink on employing cheap foreign labour which later on proved to be troublesome and expensive. Government and politicians must take some responsibility for continuing allowing companies to get cheap and easily exploitable foreign labour. There were some politicians making big money in import of foreign labour.
Availability of cheap labour will not encourage the industry to be modernized and efficient. May be industry that need cheap unskilled labour should move out to where the cheap labour are available.
Malaysia will never move up economically if we continue running industries based on unskilled cheap kuli.

Continuous issuing of new shares via PP is not fair to the existing share holders as their interest will be diluted. One likely reason why Cypark share price continue to be weak.
Once Cypark stop issuing new shares via PP or cheap ESOS, the price will likely to surge up as the company is much undervalued at current price level.
