Stimulus package to directly help businesses hit by outbreak'

https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2020/02/567578/stimulus-package-directly-help-businesses-hit-outbreak

Businesses severely affected by the Covid-19 outbreak can expect direct aid from the government’s economic stimulus package, especially the tourism, retail and aviation sectors, said Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Dr Ong Kian Ming.

PETALING JAYA: The directors of the AIRASIA Group gave their nod in 2010 to efforts by Tan Sri Tony Fernandes (pic) to build the AirAsia brand through sponsorships, said sources.

The board of AIRASIA X had approved amounts of up to US$250mil sought for a sponsorship strategy via a Formula One racing team.

The sponsorship was a way to lift the AirAsia brand and allow it to be a globally recognisable brand, said a source.

Directors gave nod to Fernandes

it is hypocrisy.....which is true denial

and we have hypocrisy both in terms of bribery.....and fear from virus.....

like TKO said 'Manic sensationalisation of the coronavirus'

we also have "Manic sensationalisation of penny bribery"

ha ha...it will rise..

exactly...thats all the market needs to hear and i need to hear....

AA rise is inevitable...


its as sure as the rise of the sun tomorrow morning...

max within just 1 week, the virus have will zero implication to travel in asia...

no of new confirmed infections dropped significantly:

Outside China, excluding Japan, only 4 cases in the whole wide world!

All these stimulus by the malaysian govn without real increase in productivity will only weaken the RM against U.S$ in the future.....

as such keeping a US$ cash flow stock in portfolio would be a must

look at our GDP growth rate recently...and Germany which was almost nil...
it will be increasingly difficult to have good returns in the future that central bank will reduce interest to extreme low level like in Japan , Sweden...

At such low risk-free return rate, valuation of high certainty recurring earnings (25 years) from a utility business will be much higher...

JAKS price has only one direction as the years progress due to increasingly lower risk-free interest rate.

china kan only 5% contribution.... now outside china corona cases zeroing...

outside china...people can be bothered...as they need to visit relatives..

why would AA reduce price?

sorry guys, it was not updated accurately earlier here below:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

excluding Japan, its only 3 cases outside China

bullballs you are right...as of end 14th feb...total 4 cases (including 2 from malaysia)..

It was not updated here about an hour ago:

Malaysia: 2
Japan: 1
Thailand: 1

the count above is official as of end of 14th feb....

malaysian's case if confirmed will be reported tom...

just give 1 week...

News will come out declaring zero cases outside China

may be can market in hubei only now...outside hubeis is only 200 confirmed cases per day...

even hubei will be completely under control in a month

(1) The bribery allegations news had been blown out like "witch hunt" on TF and KM last week.....the maximum level of negativity had been fully priced in on AA.

Past "coronaviruses" around Fernandes, Kamarudin?

Pray the number of infection count is down. Think of others first.

But whatever your long term goals are....check the no. of infection count first in the morning before the market opens.

Its crucial.

LOL...whats wrong with you guys?

anyway, i take that as you guys are completely convinced that AA is worth at least RM 3.00 then.. with the arguments that i had presented.

I seriously advise you guys not to feel any doubt holding till 3.00.

Actually it may even go till 6.

I was just giving a number to quote from the below person.


posted by Springtime > Feb 9, 2020 7:02 PM | Report Abuse

Your entry point at 1.50, 1.73 good enough for you?

I am afraid your entry point is when i exit at 1.73

If the market is truly intelligent - there is absolutely no reason for AA to trade any lower than 1.73.

.....................

(1) TF put a couple of Millions in his pocket....so what? Of course he takes care of AA more where he has 32% stakes. If a dad has affair...does not mean he does not care about his kids & wife.

(2) This coronavirus is as good as Influenza at 0.16% fatality. China will contain it - 100% certain and this fear will fade completely in a matter of weeks. Its just a matter of time. No matter which way you look at it.

.................

Considering (1) & (2) why fcuk should AA trade lower than 1.73??

why the fcuk man..................

Tomorrow may be new infection count is just 1900!

Check this first thing in the morning before market start.

'MEANINGFUL' SLOWDOWN

People with mild or no apparent symptoms aren't currently being counted among cases, he told reporters Sunday. A slowdown in the increase in reported cases over the past few days is "meaningful," according to Dr Lipkin, who recently returned to the US from China, where he was advising on the outbreak. He spoke with journalists during a 14-day home quarantine.

If measures taken so far to contain the outbreak are effective, some "dramatic reductions" in infections should be observed in the third or fourth weeks of February, he said. Warmer, early-spring weather might also impede transmission, he said.

so fast the news came!

Assuming current trends continue, we're still projecting a mid-to-late-February peak" in Wuhan, said Associate Professor Adam Kucharski, an infectious disease epidemiology expert in an email Sunday (Feb 9).

...............

"There has been a stabilisation in the number of cases reported from Hubei, and we're in a four-day stable period where the number of reported cases hasn't advanced," Dr Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO's Health Emergencies Programme, told reporters in Geneva Saturday.

"That's good news and may reflect the impact of the control measures that have been put in place."

There has been a "low, but steady incidence" of infections in places outside Hubei, Dr Ryan said. It's unclear which of those provinces may control the disease or where it might escalate, he said.

"We hope that the same stabilisation that appears to be occurring in Wuhan also occurs outside," Dr Ryan said

It is the HUMIDITY which decreases the float-ability of the virus before it drops to the floor within 2 meter radius of a man's exhaled air. As there is less free space on air for the virus to move randomly before it drops by gravity.

Further, at high temperatures, the density of air is lower, causing the virus to have lesser buoyancy force to float.

And, at higher humidity the virus has to compete with more H2O molecules on the vulnerable membranes of nasal path, lungs, and eyes for 'sites to latch on' before penetrating the skin and multiplying inside.

A dry air makes it extremely easy for the virus to latch on. A virus is just a chemical structure which needs the help of physics law for spreading.

.........................

Any environments in a country has this measurement called as 'relative humidity'...its a measure of humidity level - i.e what percentage of the air has water molecules (H20).

Any country with an environment TEMPERATURE which is high AND placed near to the sea / rivers (like vietnam)...will have high relative humidity as the high TEMPERATURE increases the amount water droplets in vapor forms as the molecules has more energy.

This is well known by the chemist and biologists.

As such equatorial places like Indonesia with high temperature and surrounding sea surface ratio to land (even Vietnam) will have high humidity.

Like i mentioned earlier, the odds of you getting 'infected' (not even fatality) is the same as getting struck by lightning if you are staying anywhere outside Hubei.

About 240,000 incidents regarding lightning strikes happen each year.
Annual fatality tolls vary greatly. One estimate is that the annual global death toll is 6,000.On the other hand, according to National Geographic, annually about 2,000 people are killed worldwide by lightning.

Targeted, go through my comments earlier.. Its totally prudent for Singapore to do what it is doing now.

Its a worthy prudent investment to save unnecessary medical bills at a time where these antiviral drugs are deficient and costly. Further, Singapore is extremely dependent on foreign businesses and interactions.

The risk vs reward of doing so is highly justified (for Singapore, Macau, Hong Kong )

Thats why Macau, Hongkong and Singapore are the most vulnerable cities....

where extra precautionary measures needs to be taken at early stage to bring everything into a manageable level (to avoid huge medical costs, not fatality)

The whole world already isolate Wuhan...including other provinces in China.

What happens in Wuhan..infections or death count....no longer applicable..it no longer falls into the circle of influence or even concern of the world. Just like what happens in Syria...no body cares.

The weather in China is also changing rapidly....even there the infections cases will become close to nil soon.

coronovirus was only 1 virus affecting say...hundreds per day...there were 1000 of other viruses which affecting millions per day earlier...

the lock-down was an effective purging...like the intermittent fasting,...which is truly healthy for the economy.
