I ll take cash.
I will not support DRP idea

Im so delighted to see more and more people realise we need new leadership.

What is the point giving DRP again and again??

Noticed buying volume keep increasing lately. May fly soon?

@ratz dont forget on the recycle chairman too :)

@ImmortalSoul87 Noticed on high buying volume for the past few days. Any reason behind it?

@phyroxus. Dont think so. Chairman doesnt have significant impact

As i mentioned earlier. Chairman with banking experience. Anyhow i dont think there will be significant impact to the bank with the new chairman. unless they want to push for another merger exercise which i doubt so.


Remarks :The Board of Malaysia Building Society Berhad ("MBSB") wishes to announce that Tan Sri Azlan bin Mohd Zainol has been appointed as Chairman / Non-Independent Non-Executive Director of MBSB and MBSB Bank Berhad, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MBSB with effect from 1 March 2021. Tan Sri Azlan bin Mohd Zainol is a nominee of Employees Provident Fund Board.

No change in ceo, no changes in senior management. So dont expect drastic changes in company.

No new CEO. only new chairman. Dont expect drastic changes as the senior managements remains same. Unless they want to bring up the merger idea again.

Mbsb will going to hv new chairman. Someone with banking background

The best way is to revamp and replace the incompetent senior management

Should push EPF to replace the senior management. All of them have been given ample time.
We cant progress

Rumours has it ceo contract will be extended to another 2 years. Not sure if good or bad news.

KUALA LUMPUR (June 30): Malaysia Building Society Bhd (MBSB) is targeting a loan growth of 3% to 4% for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2020 (FY20), amid uncertainties brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Speaking to reporters via a virtual press conference after its annual general meeting today, MBSB president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Ahmad Zaini Othman said the bank will be focusing on the civil servants’ segment.

“We believe the government servants area is something quite stable… [as well as] government projects and government contracts. We also believe that trade financing in areas of exports and certain commodities will still continue to be strong,” he said, adding that the bank will be shying away from areas such as tourism-related sectors.

While MBSB fell into the red in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 due to an increase in expected credit loss (ECL) as a result of staging deterioration for loans and financing as at end of March 2020, Ahmad Zaini said the bank’s treasury activities remain active and are expected to increase its income contribution in the current year.

Like other banks, MBSB has granted a six-month loan moratorium to eligible customers since April 2020. However, during the moratorium, Ahmad Zaini said the bank encourages customers to regularise their instalment arrears, which will also improve the bank’s ECL and financial results for the coming quarters.

“Hopefully, with engagement with customers, this will enable the bank to manage the ECL,” said Ahmad Zaini.

“We have advised customers that they should try to conserve their cash in the six months during the moratorium period and use this as a means to service the following months come September. It is safe to say that modification loss (from the moratorium) will be the main culprit on the financial institutions’ performances,” he added.

For MBSB, Ahmad Zaini said a big challenge for the bank is that its “revenue [base] is not as wide as other financial institutions”. Thus, it is very likely that the impact of the modification loss on MBSB’s bottom line “could be an issue”, he added.

On whether the bank will consider extending the moratorium after September, Ahmad Zaini said the bank, at this stage, may not be at a position to consider it yet.

“However, we will look at customers or SMEs as and when we look at the cases that merit our attention,” he added.

He further said that while business has been “looking okay now”, it is still hard to predict how things will turn out in the next couple of months, amid prevailing uncertainties.

“The greatest fear is the second wave of the [Covid-19] pandemic, on whether the industries can sustain that second wave, and the financial institutions' continuous support,” he said.

Meanwhile, the group’s plan to list its wholly-owned banking unit — MBSB Bank — on Bursa Malaysia is still on track, said Ahmad Zaini.

“This will be done after we have transferred the converted assets to the bank and disposed of any remaining non-converted assets,” he said.

Presently, the bank has completed 12 phases of conversion, involving a value of over RM659 million or about 25%, since April 2, 2018.

The bank is expected to convert all its existing conventional assets to Islamic assets by 2021. As at March 31, 2020, MBSB has a gross balance of RM1.84 billion or net balance of RM1.08 billion of conventional loans.

At 2.40pm, shares of MBSB were up 1.5 sen 2.46% at 62.5 sen, valuing the counter at RM4.2 billion. The counter has fallen some 31.69% from 91.5 sen over the past year.

What will happen to mbsb share if they list mbsb bank share?

@jeffreyteck agreed. The result shows they are underperform.

Up fast fast

I dont think MBSB will go for another merger exercise. They have spent a lot to realize these M&A to get the banking license. MBSB already is the second largest stand alone islamic bank and anytime can tapau bank islam to become the number 1. Why should they go for another M&A? Unless the instruction come from BNM

KUALA LUMPUR (June 27): Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd has recommended a “buy” call on Malaysia Building Society Bhd (MBSB) with a share target price of RM1.60.

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus, who led the investigation into the trail of money that flowed out of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), has been appointed as the new Bank Negara Malaysia Governor, Bloomberg reported.

She left Bank Negara in November 2016 amidst a clampdown by the previous government on people who probed into the 1MDB.

Nor Shamsiah worked with the central bank for 30 years before she left on Nov 15, 2016.

She takes over from Tan Sri Muhammad Ibrahim who resigned on June 15.

Nomura Global Markets Research said Nor Shamsiah’s appointment implies continuity in the direction and conduct of monetary policy.

Like Muhammad, she had served as deputy governor under Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz and she was a member of the monetary policy committee, it said.

“We maintain our forecast of the policy rate being left unchanged through the rest of this year, as we forecast GDP growth slowing to 5.1% in 2018 from 5.9% in 2017, below Bank Negara's 5.5%-6.0% forecast. 

CPI inflation will also likely fall sharply to 1.3% in 2018 from 3.7% in 2019, below Bank Negara's 2%-3% forecast,” Nomura said.

Muhammad had tendered his resignation after questions were raised on the central bank’s purchase of a land from the federal government for RM2bil.

The transaction was completed in January this year and the proceeds were used to pay 1MDB’s debts.

After leaving Bank Negara, Nor Shamsiah joined the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in April last year where she was based in Washington DC. She was the assistant director of Monetary and Capital Markets Department there.

There was no official statement by the IMF stating that Nor Shamsiah has resigned but sources in the banking industry indicated that she has left the international monetary body.

During Nor Shamsiah’s stint in Bank Negara, she was involved primarily in overseeing and ensuring the health of the banking sector, which is the core responsibility of the central bank in ensuring financial stability in the system.

Apart from banks, her area of supervision covered insurance and takaful companies, financial intelligence and enforcement, and talent management.

It was her oversight on the banks that saw her spearhead the investigations into 1MDB at the central bank level.

Nor Shamsiah was also involved in the financial sector resolution initiatives during the Asian financial crisis and the preparation and implementation of the Financial Sector Masterplan from 2001 to 2010.

It is typical for any management to show their support whenever changes in the government..or maybe to safeguard their position :p

KUALA LUMPUR 20 Jun - MBSB Bank Berhad telah menyalurkan derma sebanyak RM1 juta ke dalam Tabung Harapan bagi melaksanakan tanggungjawab sosial.
