AAX owns 49% of Thai AirAsia X, both were bankruptcy companies due to covid 19.
AAX bulldoze thro' debts restructure of paying 0.5 sen for every dollar owed and then arm twisting Bursa SC to uplift AAX from PN17.

Meanwhile Thai AirAsia X go into business rehabilitation plan that begin a planned process of repaying debts and refund payments to passengers impacted by the inevitable cancellation of flights during the COVID-19 pandemic.

So do you think any bank dare to lend money to AAX and capA?

AAX do not has the money to acquire AirAsia (AAB) and AirAsia Aviation Group (AAAGL) from Capital A.
And I doubt is capA' Brand AA has the legal right to charge loyalty fees on AirAsia (AAB) and AirAsia Aviation Group (AAAGL)? Most likely Stony is just trying to pull a fast one/hoax from his magic hat.

BANGKOK, Today (1 September 2023) - The Central Bankruptcy Court has given approval to the business rehabilitation plan of Thai AirAsia X, which was revised in accordance with decisions made by a conference of creditors on 14 July 2023. Following this decision,Thai AirAsia X is now again ready to pursue continual growth. As part of its expansion plan, it will be adding aircraft to its fleet, opening new routes to increase cash flow and revenue, and efficiently managing capital.

Thai AirAsia X will thus begin a planned process of repaying debts and refund payments to passengers impacted by the inevitable cancellation of flights during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why you did not use your winning in-out ratio to protect your holding in capA but dumb dumb hold capA?

At my age, money is just a figure as I do not have much use for money unlike when I just start working or start my family, I need money to support my parent and family.

Mike-tikus,
Stockraider will come in and spend RM 5,000 buying 1 million of WC come year 2026 as what he had done with WB in 2020.

Most likely leno already unload all his WC and now hope to collect back again.

Thai AirAsia X bankruptcy proceedings to delay merger
By Andrew Curran
16JAN2024

Folding the AirAsia and AirAsia X brands into a single corporate entity may take several years to finalise, according to Tassapon Bijleveld, the executive chairman of Thai AirAsia (FD, Bangkok Don Mueang) and Thai AirAsia X (XJ, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi). He says the planned merger cannot close until Thai AirAsia X wraps up its rehabilitation process.

Last week, AirAsia X (AAX) told the Malaysian bourse that it had signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire AirAsia (AAB) and AirAsia Aviation Group (AAAGL) from Capital A. AAX plans to merge the airlines operated by AAB and AAAGL into a single business.

AAB operates AirAsia (AK, Kuala Lumpur International) while AAAGL owns and operates AirAsia Cambodia, Indonesia AirAsia, AirAsia Philippines, and Thai AirAsia in conjunction with local partners.

However, the executive chairman of Thai AirAsia and Thai AirAsia X told The Nation newspaper late last week that those two entities may continue to operate under their present ownership structure until as far out as 2027.

"The merger of two airlines in Thailand may have to wait two to three years until Thai AirAsia X leaves the business rehabilitation plan, which should happen around late 2025,” Tassapon Bijleveld said. Thai AirAsia entered into bankruptcy protection in May 2022, at the time saying doing so would allow it to manage better debts incurred earlier in the pandemic.

AAX already owns 49% of Thai AirAsia X, with the remainder in the hands of Thai investors. However, the buyout would see AAAGL's 43% stake in Thai AirAsia go to AAX. External Thai-based investors also hold a 38% stake on Thai AirAsia, while the airline's board and management, including Bijleveld, hold the remaining 19%.

AirAsia founder and CEO of Capital A, Tony Fernandes, says the decision to divest its airline businesses "makes complete sense." Fernandes will retain significant direct and indirect stakes in the AirAsia carriers via his other investment vehicles. He is also optimistic the Thailand-based AirAsia brands have a big future. He wants to turn Bangkok into a hub for AirAsia operations into Europe. "We want to make Bangkok the next Dubai in terms of being a global aviation hub," he said last week.

Is that a crude joke that US going for another of Biden Vs Donald Trump US president election 2024?

The only hope for capA is a super rich white knight to save capA.

I think by now no bank will lend any money to capA or AAX.

night_shadow What people dont realize is now CapA has lower risk than AAX since all the risk related to airline business (ie fuel cost, lease fee) would be bare by AAX.

Will AAX BOD take the risk?

When a company is on the brink of insolvency, directors ought to consider different stakeholders such as shareholders, creditors, and employees during the exercise of interest balancing. The Companies Act 2016 (“CA 2016”) codifies a general duty on directors’ conduct of trading in a company close to the point of insolvency and any potential liabilities on that account. In broad terms, ‘insolvent trading’ may also be referred to as ‘wrongful trading’ and ‘fraudulent trading’.

Wrongful Trading
In the CA 2016, an offence of wrongful trading is captured in section 539(3) that:

“…an officer of the company who knowingly was a party to the contracting of a debt had, at the time the debt was contracted, no reasonable or probable ground of expectation, after taking into consideration the other liabilities, if any, of the company at the time, of the company being able to pay the debt, commits an offence…”

Fraudulent Trading
Whereas section 540(1) of the CA 2016 stipulates an offence of fraudulent trading as below:

“If it appears…that any business of the company has been carried on with intent to defraud the creditors of the company or creditors of any other person or for any fraudulent purpose, the Court may declare that any person who was knowingly a party to the carrying on of the business in that manner shall be personally responsible…”

If an offence under section 539(3) has been made out, offenders may be punishable with a maximum imprisonment of 5 years or a maximum fine of RM500,000, or both. Reading together with section 540 of the CA 2016, it is added that the offender may even bear personal liabilities for the payment of the whole or any part of the company’s debt without any limitation of liability upon a court’s declaration.

AAX will default on current liabilities if capA liabilities is transfered to AAX.
You need a white knight with deep pocket to save a PN 17 company. And AAX do not has any money.

AAX will be a scapegoat for Stony and all the AAX directors will commit an offend under companies ACT 2016 section 539 and 540.

Hi Soon Sheng, I read through your questions and the answers from the BOD. May I ask your insights to deal with the unwillingness of management to distribute sufficient dividends?

Posted by Sslee > Jan 17, 2024 8:36 AM | Report Abuse X
Leno who hold multi-million WC also do not want company distribute good dividend because dividend give out will dilute the net worth of WC.

The BOD is working hard to give a better dividend but the old man controlling shareholder Dato' Sri Thong object, may be he also see giving out dividend is reducing the net worth of Insas.

By next year BOD will not have any more excuse for not giving better dividend if we the minority shareholders keep pressuring BOD for better dividend.

Posted by Sslee > Jan 17, 2024 8:47 AM | Report Abuse X
Many people rebut me for asking a better dividend by quoting Berkshire Hathaway does not pay dividends to its investors. Instead, the company chooses to reinvest retained earnings into new projects, investments, and acquisitions.

They forget Insas just keep cash and poor return on cash keep in bank account. Only lately transfer cash in current account to FD to earn better interest income.

I would have accumulate KSL long ago if only the BOD give some dividend to shareholders.

Mike-tikus,
Just check my MAE.
INSAS RM 58,125.00
EWINT RM 3,000.00

Most likely Mabel after disposal of her free capA warrants, her holding cost of capA is zero.

So are insiders already know whether Bursa Sc reject or agree with conditions CapA latest request for extention in submitting PN17 regularisation plan to 31 June 2024?

With or without aviation and if capA fail to get capA shareholders equity above min RM 40 million and keep asking for extension in submitting PN17 regularisation plan then for sure one fine day Bursa SC will run out of patience with CapA and proceed to suspend and delist capA.

CapA' NUMBER DONT LIE..and it is horrible.

Repost for you to ponder with leases payment of abt RM 700 million and increasing per quarter can capA make any meaningfull profit in 2024?

CapA is now like a taxi driver, driving a rental car from a taxi company.
How many passengers a taxi driver must picked up to pay for the car rental before he can earned a living?

For capA even last quarter 89% load factor is still a loss making quarter.

Insas is a counter where we slowly for months accumulate from 75 sen to 85 sen and then wait and wait and wait and wait for the lovely days where price finally spikes above RM1.10 to start taking profits.

I learn from you instead of hold long long till it hit my TP 1.50 I sold some to take profit so that if it drop, I can buy back again.

Nothing special here, it's just CIA will rule Taiwan for another 4 years

Hsiao Bi-khim, who was elected vice president most likely is CIA trained agent and the President will be eliminated if he do somthing endanger USA interest.

Know what is the population number of oversea Taiwanese?
What kind of democratic election when oversea Taiwanense cannot vote due to no postal vote or oversea polling stations for oversea Taiwanese to cast their vote?

Lai Ching-te
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)
40.1%

Hou Yu-ih
Kuomintang (KMT)
33.5%

Ko Wen-je
Taiwan People’s Party (TPP)
26.5%

If not for DPP planted trojan horse in TPP that oppose and prevent a join tiket (KMT + TPP). DPP already oust from power because of 8 years of imcompetant, mismanagement, corrupt and authoritarian rule.

Still got balance 1,740,000 Insas and 396,000 Insas-WC

Jakarta. Indonesia is sticking to the “One China Policy” as Taiwan elected Lai Ching-Te its president in Saturday's election.

Lai Ching-te, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party or DPP’s presidential pick, secured over 40 percent of the popular votes in the election. The DPP does not acknowledge the One China principle, which sees Taiwan as part of greater China. Indonesia has been maintaining a strict “One China Policy”. And this position remains unchanged despite the election, according to Lalu Muhammad Iqbal, the spokesman of the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

“Indonesia is closely observing the developments in Taiwan. Indonesia will consistently adhere to the One China Policy,” Lalu said via text on Sunday, commenting on the Taiwanese election.

Indonesia last year said it would continue to recognize the One China principle when President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo met with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing. According to the joint statement, Indonesia recognizes Taiwan as an inalienable part of China. Jakarta also acknowledges the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal government representing the whole of China.

Here I would like to put into record a big thank you to Mike-tikus. You are my lucky star.

Leno told me Insas reward shareholders by RI RPS with free warrants so I subscribe fully with 10% excess application.

So when Mike-tikus promote PA insas-WC shoot past PA and I sold all my WB and RPS and later bought more Insas.

Leno sold all his Insas and all in WC.

6 months back when Mike-tikus promote Jaks and true to my prediction history repeat again WC shoot past Jaks.

Will Leno this time round took some profit from his WC?

Aiyoyo Jaks and CapA hari ini merahkah?
Someone not yet cut lose/cut win his jaks and capA?

Another good day for taking profit but be prepared to cut win.

Finally someone holding 18,759,000 Insas-WC reappear again.

The one-China principle/policy is a basic norm in international relations, a prevailing consensus among the international community and UN.

"avoidance of unilateral efforts to change the status quo.”
Is USA, DPP or China intend to unilateral change the status quo?

The Status Quo
US: One China policy
China: One China Principle and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China

The DPP does not acknowledge the One China principle, which sees Taiwan as part of greater China

Is unofficial and retired politicians whatever they said matter and carried any weight?

This is what US position on Taiwan:

The United States switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979 and has long said it does not support a formal declaration of independence by Taiwan. It does, however, maintain unofficial relations with the self-governed island and remains its most important backer and arms supplier.

Both root can be traced back to India.
One choose to be pseudo Malay and become PM to enrich himself and his family.
One choose to remain to his root and join DAP as ADUN to fight for .......

When will all realised we are all Malaysian regardless of your religion, ethnicity, language and culture?
