The board of directors should lead the company, not the other way where fund manager leads the board of directors. Ultimately, who is going to accountable to shareowners?
Further, fund manager can be fired if sleep on his job or underperformed in certain given duration.

The 1st step to strip his power is to vote against Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim from being elected as director in this coming adjourned AGM at Wisma MCA on 30-11-2014. 9am.(this coming Sunday)
Let other directors not his choice to be elected in near future.

If you confronted him about his performance in either AGM or seminar invited by him, he will ridiculed you with petty issues which I think as a paid fund manager, whether you like it or not , you have to show your professionalism to explain patiently to your shareholders

As pointed out by Laxey Partners and city of Landon Fund management, board of directors should not be the only one from the choice of TTB.
They also want their representatives so that fund manager of icap Bhd is accountable and not like the situation now. All control by TTB who is sleeping on his job

After the latest AGM, I can conclude current board of directors are puppet of TTB.

If Abdul Aziz is a gentlemen, he should just walk away and should not make any comment about the party he left. Just imagine how members of DAP welcome him when he just joint the party and even elected him as chairman of DAP.

I attended lastest AGM, a shareholder did asked this Abdul Aziz to come forward to explained his role in the company. You know what did he said, he only mumbling and only word which I can understand is integrity. I nearly got vomited as such guy has the integrity ? If so, he should left DAP quietly .

I think our 7million yearly fees paying to TTB is notf worth at all as he has not done his decent job properly. To me, the fees is just like pouring into the drain without ant returns to shareholders of Icap Bhd.

Murali,
That is the reason why I spend my time here to highlight to current shareowners of icap Bhd to wake them up and make sure his puppet Tuanku Abdul Aziz Bin Tunku Ibrahim will not be elected in this coming adjourned AGM on 30th Nov 2014 ( next Sunday) so that their interest is protected and not mislead by TTB .
2014-11-22 20:17 | Report Abuse
Calvin, why TTB bother to understand financial market, he has his icap Bhd which provided him comfortable yearly 7millions fees, what he need to do is to make sure his puppet Abdul Hajis being re-appointed on board of directors in the coming adjourned AGM on 30th Nov 2014, If he successeed , he can continue sleeping on his job as icap Bhd fund manager.
2014-11-22 20:00 | Report Abuse
A lot of his die hard supporters misinterpreted why he got patient to wait for next crisis while some icap Bhd shareholders can't, they have forgotten that he is drawing 7m fees yearly from the company yet holding minimum shareholding.In the event if Laxey Partners see he is sleeping on his job, liquidation of the company is the only solution. I expect this day is coming just a matter of time.

A printed copy of news letter worth around $1800 p.a 8 to 12 years ago can be sold at $25 p.a has 2 interpretations:
1. The quality of so called printed newsletter is in fact a toilet papers. Ask your wife who used to buy toilet paper from supermarket, she will tell you it cost more than that.so it is easily understood not worthy at all.
2. With his current snobbish characters and past couple of years of wrong advice,I believe he has lost a lot of individuals die hard supporters so he has to sell cheap to look for new one

Calvinteng, why he refuse to make investment decision, becos company has a lot of fund now .( As far as he is concerned), Once Lacey Partners pointed out rightly before previous EGM, he command the board of directors instead of the other way round.
There is no corporate governance such as accountability , he treated Icap Bhd as his grand father business. What he interested is slowly accumulate his wealth by drawing big fat fees.

687423, in investment field, not everybody will make a consistant good investment decision. In the case of Warrant buffet, he admittedly declared in public he had made a lousy investment in Tesco and loss a substantial sum of money.
Look at TTB of ICap Bhd, if you confronted him for sleeping on his job, will he admitted is mistake ? while any Tom , Dick and Harry making good money in stock since 2010 to 2014.

Ykloh, TTB says, he practise margin of safety, in year 2010,and 2011 market was high, he said you sit down there and patiently wait for his investment decision.
In 2012 market went higher, he asked you to sleep there to wait while you see your peers who invest in stock making good money.
In 2013, he said margin of safety was total out in Malaysia stocks and while he went around the world holidaying.His big fat fees was non stop flowing into his pocket .
In 2014, you ask him the same question again why not stock to invest, again he said all sorts of excuses and telling the word as if the stock market will crash in near future.
Worse still, he said you are not happy with his style of managing Icap, you can always sell and not to get involve with ICAP Bhd.

He is shameless fund manager, not doing his job properly ,yet want to dominate the board of directors.
I once heard his ex- staff complaint about him, he makes the investment decision alone.
Currently, he is managing icap bhd, capital dynamic global fund and capital international fund, which according to him, the later 2 funds cover about 40 countries. Do you think he can take care of Icap Bhd wholeheartedly?
What he is interested is to collect his fees and tour around the world and shareholders foot his traveling bills.
That is the reason why he is so worry his puppet director Abdul Hajis will not be elected in this coming adjourned AGM, he even go to the extend of conducting so called road show to appeal to his royalists to come all out to help him.

In that case, I guess the cost of his current tour to Malaysia with his staff to garnish support of his personal agenda in the coming adjourned Icap AGM also may partly financed by icap and hide in the advertising expense that will be appeared in 2015 Annual Report.

For a fund house like icap, what sort of advertising required? Looking for employees?
No, he said he runs the firm himself and outsource the clerical work to others
What objective does he gain to spent such huge advertising fees?

shareholders must safeguard their own interest by thinking independently. Don't be mislead end by TTB who owns a few shares yet drawing around $7m fees in total, $700,000 advertising fees, $91,000 accounts fee( fee pieces of contract notes).
All the above figures can be obtained from 2014 Annual report.
For advertising fees in 2013 Annual Report, it was merely $20,000

1901, I agree precisely what you said, As far as money is concerned,any fund or company needs independent directors to safeguard the interest of the co/fund.

Bcllct, dual listing is not good for Icap Bhd,
1. It involve foreign Exchange, Cost of purhasing shares in other countries normally is extremely high. Just check around with any brokers, to buy Hongkong shares from Malaysia for e.g, each purcase involve 2 brokers(local N foreign) + exchage of currency , so is about 1 plus percentage.and selling also invlove 1 plus percentage.
2.More brokers invlove, imagine if you buy localicap and transfer the share to foreign country, who is going to assist you? you have to open another account in another broker and fees invloved
3.For small fly like us, it sounds great to buy and sell in foreign countries, but cost is not worth it.

Further more, fees are based on the percentage of the fund size, if dividend is declared, the fund size getting smaller,so are the TTB"s fees

For the benefit and interest of current Icap shareholders, the M&A can be amended to include constant declaration of Dividend and share buy back. But Does TTB care about it? If any shareholders confronted him with this matter his reply always like" You don't know that ICAP prospectus where dividend and share buy back is alloewed.
Rules always can be amended by human, isn't it?

In Fact city of London fund as well as Laxey fund has give him a lot of headache, he is rather worry that if the 2 funds has managed to appoint directors of their choice, pressure will be exerted on him to either find ways to close up the gap of ICAP between NAV and its share price or the worse scenario, he may be kick out by the Board of directors for his failed performance.
2014-11-20 15:42 | Report Abuse
Dual Listing is to be his excuse to Amend the current M&A of ICAP so that any institution shareholders are not allowed to hold more than 5% of shareholdings of Icap,so nobody can question his performance such as like currently holding so much cash in hand and do nothing except asking his shareholders to be patient since 2010.
If this so called fund manager can still " cari Makan" , I think any tom tick and harry also can be the fund manager.
Keep cash for shareholders since 2010 means shareholders has lost a lot of Opportunity while year in and year out , he is happily collecting his fees without doing anything.
