We can understand the reason for the relaxing of the MCO. The rejuvenating of the economy and the Hari Raya celebration approaching.

The info of the symptomatic cases have been in the news for months now. That is the reason the many nations carry out mass testing. . To confine anybody that shows positive results.

Then why this advice of opening the economy and nation so soon, even after knowing this threat lurks among the people.

Is it to let the people celebrate the various festivals ? Are the politicians fear more about the dissatisfaction that may arise if they curb the celebrations ?

Is it that MOH knows that the numbers will pile up after this holidays. Then they will repeat the MCO and try and contain the second wave ?

Are the celebration more important that the danger the mixing of people will cause during this celebration ?

It looks that way.

Asymptotic carriers were reported in China way back in Feb when it was still the epi centre. I really do not understand why it took over 3.5 months for our DG to learn this fact.

Other countries such as South Korea, Singapore, Australian and NZ have chosen the path to mass testing and they have been successful in identifying true community transmission and containing them. And yet our MOH has chosen the so called "targeted" testing which is quite useless in terms understanding true picture of communication transmission. Hence circulation of R value (reproduction value) is invalid because we have most likely underestimated the number ofCOVID-19 cases. The real scary issue is it only takes a few asymptotic carriers to cause a second or third wave.

MoH keeps talking about mass testing and I have not seen any evidence of mass testing. Look at the Worldometers stats today. Malaysia is doing 8,409 tests per million and Singapore is now at 38,372 tests per millions. Malaysia is doing 20% of what Singapore is doing in terms of testing.

In one starly night.....i heard a sound from my dream, Its says Arbb share price will SHOOT UP like rocket....Buy hold and wait, 2020 YEAR END is a FRUITFUL TIME for Arbb! TP1.00 Amithabha

Written like someone sitting in New Jersey totally out of touch with Malaysia who doesn't care about the devastation caused to other people. A bit like the racist diatribe against the Rohingya that was thankfully taken down by MKINI last week.

Probably happy at home, fully paid salary or steady gig income, treating the lockdown as a two month "staycation"

Did you lose your job? Did your company close down? Were your savings wiped out? Are you a daily-wage earner with no income for two months? Are you looking after a family and children with no money? Are you a foreign worker on the run from the police because you're scared of deportation? Are you elderly locked at home alone? Are you locked in with an abusive partner every day in fear of your safety - your life? Are you OKU alone with no helpers?

This lockdown destroys people's livelihood and peace of mind. The people responsible are basically untouched or even benefit from the lockdown themselves. Arrogant and indifferent to the suffering they are causing - mostly to the poor and undefended.

They cause this devastation and then walk away leaving those most badly harmed to pick up the pieces alone - or stand in line at the pawn shop because they have no food to feed their children.

"Keep the lockdown at all costs" - To take this lazy line of argument is to put no value on people's lives - because it shows no concern about the damage that is caused. This is the real value judgement - reflects very badly on your line of thought.

Excellent analogy which many here still don't understand.

They think that the mask is for the wearer to protect himself and thus could be made optional.

They also fail to consider that over 80% of those infected have light symptoms (or are even asymptomatic) which go away without treatment like a cold.
However, such carriers are also infectious.

That's why the wearing of mask outside one's home should be made compulsory so that social distancing of 1-2 metres can be meaningful. Otherwise, that distance should be extended 10 fold.

By the way.........Great insight guys, thanks.

Good afternoon To all ARBB 7181 fighters

How Does ARB Berhad’s P/E Compare To Its Industry, After Its Big Share Price Gain?

ARB Berhad shares have had a really impressive month, gaining 119%, after some slippage. But shareholders may not all be feeling jubilant, since the share price is still down 44% in the last year.

Assuming no other changes, a sharply higher share price makes a stock less attractive to potential buyers. In the long term, share prices tend to follow earnings per share, but in the short term prices bounce around in response to short term factors (which are not always obvious). So some would prefer to hold off buying when there is a lot of optimism towards a stock. One way to gauge market expectations of a stock is to look at its Price to Earnings Ratio (PE Ratio). A high P/E implies that investors have high expectations of what a company can achieve compared to a company with a low P/E ratio.

How Does ARB Berhad’s P/E Ratio Compare To Its Peers?
ARB Berhad’s P/E of 2.57 indicates relatively low sentiment towards the stock. We can see that the average P/E (19.5) for companies in the it industry is higher than ARB Berhad’s P/E.

Its relatively low P/E ratio indicates that ARB Berhad shareholders think it will struggle to do as well as other companies in its industry classification. Since the market seems impressed with ARB Berhad, it’s quite possible it could surprise on the upside. It is arguably worth checking if insiders are buying shares, because that might imply they believe the stock is undervalued.

How Growth Rates Impact P/E Ratios
Earnings growth rates have a big influence on P/E ratios. That’s because companies that grow earnings per share quickly will rapidly increase the ‘E’ in the equation. Therefore, even if you pay a high multiple of earnings now, that multiple will become lower in the future. So while a stock may look expensive based on past earnings, it could be cheap based on future earnings.

ARB Berhad’s 82% EPS improvement over the last year was like bamboo growth after rain; rapid and impressive.

A Limitation: P/E Ratios Ignore Debt and Cash In The Bank
One drawback of using a P/E ratio is that it considers market capitalization, but not the balance sheet. Thus, the metric does not reflect cash or debt held by the company. Theoretically, a business can improve its earnings (and produce a lower P/E in the future) by investing in growth. That means taking on debt (or spending its cash).

Such spending might be good or bad, overall, but the key point here is that you need to look at debt to understand the P/E ratio in context.

So What Does ARB Berhad’s Balance Sheet Tell Us?
With net cash of RM43m, ARB Berhad has a very strong balance sheet, which may be important for its business. Having said that, at 49% of its market capitalization the cash hoard would contribute towards a higher P/E ratio.

The Verdict On ARB Berhad’s P/E Ratio
ARB Berhad has a P/E of 2.6. That’s below the average in the MY market, which is 12.5. Not only should the net cash position reduce risk, but the recent growth has been impressive. The relatively low P/E ratio implies the market is pessimistic. What is very clear is that the market has become less pessimistic about ARB Berhad over the last month, with the P/E ratio rising from 1.2 back then to 2.6 today. For those who like to invest in turnarounds, that might mean it’s time to put the stock on a watchlist, or research it. But others might consider the opportunity to have passed.

Investors should be looking to buy stocks that the market is wrong about. As value investor Benjamin Graham famously said, ‘In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run, it is a weighing machine. Although we don’t have analyst forecasts you could get a better understanding of its growth by checking out this more detailed historical earnings, revenue and cash flow.

But note: ARB Berhad is one of the best stock to buy.

With its long stranglehold on Malay politics, its wide outreach and having far more seats than Bersatu and also viewing to recapture the seat of power, it will be foolish either way - either for UMNO not to consolidate its position or Bersatu expecting UMNO to be kind.

This is predatory politics, survival of the fittest, so to speak. This has very little to do with race and religion. With three parties racing to grab a bite on this race and religion pie, it has bared the nakedness of it all.

Of course, the winner of this game is undoubtedly UMNO. Bersatu was just a decoy, a ventilator just at the right time. Certainly it may not be working the way Azmin and Muyhiddin may have planned but they joined a team where "winners take all" will be more likely the endless game that may be played to the hilt, unlike in PH where it was more of give to Bersatu rather than the take business.

It got the coveted PM post. Certainly it did not deliver in GE14 with its 13 seats only. Yet the promise of a PM's post and MB's in non-majority Bersatu states and much more were honoured. But greed has no limits. Ignorance fared far worse. Bersatu was shielded and sheltered to provide sufficient room to grow and strengthen itself. There were sacrifices by component parties in PH to the extent that winning seats was not the yardstick to positions. Yet some of them had the audacity to run down the component parties and threatening to pull out from the coalition, which it did anyway.

Of course, Bersatu cannot expect to get the same leeway from UMNO, as it is painfully finding out. History is one thing but many were wondering as to why Bersatu was so greedy and unprincipled. When there is a promise to hand over the PM post to Anwar, the most honourable thing will be to keep that promise and do so at the earliest opportunity possible. A six-month window would have been more than enough.

Tun was supposed to be an interim PM, to hold the position and to facilitate a smooth transfer but it was very painful to see how he became so obsessed with the post. He and Bersatu started giving flimsy excuses and kept on shifting the goalposts. Compare with how Wan Azizah conducted herself. Besides allowing the use of the PKR flagship, she even turned down politely the offer of the PM position when the King mentioned it to her. Where is the honour. All our religions teach us to be honest. And the Bersatu people think they can get away with such a dishonourable act.

Bersatu thinks it is about Anwar, Of course that was just a tiny thing. They broke the promise they gave to a lady. Surely they cannot be left off the hook,can they? Just watch the game.

Yeah guys......there is politics being played here. I have every reason to believe, Mahathir leading PH would have done exactly the same and all others in his cabinet would have quietly played along...which they did when the coot embraced Zakir Naik first and later the traitors on October 6th last year.

Everything so far points to the virus being around for a while. There is no telling for how long. There is no vaccine is on the horizon. Just like in the case of HIV.

The problem, which politicians across the board should address, is the behavior of self-centered Malaysians, their indiscipline, their appalling lack of social etiquette, their impatience and sickening lack of civic consciousness. Obviously they have had poor role models in their political and religious leaders. And substandard education.

On top of that, the country is racially splintered by its leaders. Malay Muslim politicians to be exact. And one result of their divisive policies has been the building of a number of horribly congested, unhygenic Malay-majority low cost housing in urban areas - which now have turned out to be super spreader communes.

And then there is the problem of a migrant population of between six to ten million - two thirds of who have bought their way in by "managing" border guards. That is the result of another one of Mahathir's enduring stupidities - increase the number of muslims to increase his voter base while pushing migrants to his "cheap-labor" addicted businessmen cronies who also support their pusher. Smart partnership in his book.

These are just some of the reasons the country will remain at risk. Its past practices and crookedness do not guarantee a safe future. No amount of prayer is going to help. Neither will politicking either by the ousted fellows or by the ones now ruling the roost.

The economy has to be opened up at some point - and there is no time like the present. Professional risk assessment area by area and stringent even-handed enforcement of rules must accompany tentative, measured steps to enable livelihoods.

It calls for exceptional wisdom, ruthless enforcement of health directives and zero politicking.

How Does ARB Berhad’s P/E Compare To Its Industry, After Its Big Share Price Gain?

ARB Berhad shares have had a really impressive month, gaining 119%, after some slippage. But shareholders may not all be feeling jubilant, since the share price is still down 44% in the last year.

Assuming no other changes, a sharply higher share price makes a stock less attractive to potential buyers. In the long term, share prices tend to follow earnings per share, but in the short term prices bounce around in response to short term factors (which are not always obvious). So some would prefer to hold off buying when there is a lot of optimism towards a stock. One way to gauge market expectations of a stock is to look at its Price to Earnings Ratio (PE Ratio). A high P/E implies that investors have high expectations of what a company can achieve compared to a company with a low P/E ratio.

How Does ARB Berhad’s P/E Ratio Compare To Its Peers?
ARB Berhad’s P/E of 2.57 indicates relatively low sentiment towards the stock. We can see that the average P/E (19.5) for companies in the it industry is higher than ARB Berhad’s P/E.

Its relatively low P/E ratio indicates that ARB Berhad shareholders think it will struggle to do as well as other companies in its industry classification. Since the market seems impressed with ARB Berhad, it’s quite possible it could surprise on the upside. It is arguably worth checking if insiders are buying shares, because that might imply they believe the stock is undervalued.

How Growth Rates Impact P/E Ratios
Earnings growth rates have a big influence on P/E ratios. That’s because companies that grow earnings per share quickly will rapidly increase the ‘E’ in the equation. Therefore, even if you pay a high multiple of earnings now, that multiple will become lower in the future. So while a stock may look expensive based on past earnings, it could be cheap based on future earnings.

ARB Berhad’s 82% EPS improvement over the last year was like bamboo growth after rain; rapid and impressive.

A Limitation: P/E Ratios Ignore Debt and Cash In The Bank
One drawback of using a P/E ratio is that it considers market capitalization, but not the balance sheet. Thus, the metric does not reflect cash or debt held by the company. Theoretically, a business can improve its earnings (and produce a lower P/E in the future) by investing in growth. That means taking on debt (or spending its cash).

Such spending might be good or bad, overall, but the key point here is that you need to look at debt to understand the P/E ratio in context.

So What Does ARB Berhad’s Balance Sheet Tell Us?
With net cash of RM43m, ARB Berhad has a very strong balance sheet, which may be important for its business. Having said that, at 49% of its market capitalization the cash hoard would contribute towards a higher P/E ratio.

The Verdict On ARB Berhad’s P/E Ratio
ARB Berhad has a P/E of 2.6. That’s below the average in the MY market, which is 12.5. Not only should the net cash position reduce risk, but the recent growth has been impressive. The relatively low P/E ratio implies the market is pessimistic. What is very clear is that the market has become less pessimistic about ARB Berhad over the last month, with the P/E ratio rising from 1.2 back then to 2.6 today. For those who like to invest in turnarounds, that might mean it’s time to put the stock on a watchlist, or research it. But others might consider the opportunity to have passed.

Investors should be looking to buy stocks that the market is wrong about. As value investor Benjamin Graham famously said, ‘In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run, it is a weighing machine. Although we don’t have analyst forecasts you could get a better understanding of its growth by checking out this more detailed historical earnings, revenue and cash flow.

But note: ARB Berhad is one of the best stock to buy.

GOOD AFTERNOON TO ALL ARBB 7181 FIGHTERS

ARB active, rises 9% on emergence of US-based Caravan Capital as new substantial shareholder

KUALA LUMPUR (April 29): Interest in shares of Main Market-listed ARB Bhd spiked after a US-based investment firm had yesterday emerged as the company’s new substantial shareholder.

At 9.40am, the counter was up 2.5 sen or 9.09% at 30 sen, giving it a market capitalization of RM88.14 million. Some 37.85 million shares were traded, exceeding its 200-day average volume of 8.61 million shares, making it the fifth most actively traded counter at the time of writing.

Over the past year, the counter has fallen by 43.4% from 53 sen. But since falling to a low of 10.5 sen on March 19, the stock has rebounded 185.71% within a six-week period.

In a filing to Bursa Malaysia yesterday, ARB said US-based investment management firm Caravan Capital Management LLC has emerged as a substantial shareholder after acquiring a 6.3% stake in the information technology (IT) software and platform provider.

Caravan Capital acquired the stake comprising 18.5 million shares on the open market last Friday.

The shares are held through MIRI Strategic Emerging Markets Fund LP (11.26 million shares or a 3.89% stake) and Kenneth Rainin Foundation (7.07 million shares or a 2.41% stake).

For the full year ended Dec 31, 2019 (FY19), ARB’s net profit soared 8.2 times to RM34.77 million, from RM4.23 million in the previous year, while revenue jumped 6.7 times to RM102.64 million, from RM15.26 million.

The higher earnings are attributable to higher revenue from the IT division, in which ARB believes will continue growing and contribute profit to the group.

The major revenue contributors were wholly-owned subsidiaries ARB Development Sdn Bhd and ARBIOT Sdn Bhd, which are both principally involved in the business of reselling customized enterprise resource planning (ERP) software system, and Internet of Things, Internet and Multimedia development, and consultancy services

Apart from its IT-related businesses, ARB is also involved in the manufacturing of wood products. However, the group's timber segment temporarily ceased operations in the third quarter of FY19, ahead of an expected resumption in December 2019.

Under its segment breakdown analysis for FY19, the manufacturing in wood products did not generate any revenue for the year and saw a net loss of RM1.64 million.

Malaysia has seen Covid-19 mutations, warns of aggressive infectivity

The health authority has detected mutations of Covid-19 virus in the country and warns of their aggressive infectivity.

According to Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, one of the mutations they found was in "Case 26" who had so far infected 120 others.

"We were made to understand that there are 30 mutations of the virus so far. And in the Institute for Medical Research (IMR), we are doing virus isolation and virus culture.

"We have found that 'Case 26', for example, had one mutation. And maybe because of this mutation it caused the virus to become more aggressive, infecting 120 others.

"The new mutations are even more aggressive, that is for sure," said Noor Hisham.

He was speaking at a press conference in Putrajaya today where he was asked about a study in India which found 10 mutations of the Covid-19.

For the record, "Case 26" has been identified as Hisham Hamdan, who is the chairperson of UDA Holdings and executive director of Khazanah.

He had come forward to identify himself as "Case 26" early last month following media reports and online criticisms against him for allegedly causing a cluster of infections.

"Case 26" had travelled to Shanghai, China in mid-January before he started developing symptoms on Feb 27. He then sought treatment at the Subang Jaya Medical Centre. He was later treated at the Sungai Buloh Hospital after being tested positive with Covid-19, which also saw health authority scrambling to test all his close contacts and family members.

Elaborating further about mutations of Covid-19 in the country, Noor Hisham said IMR had established that most of the positive cases detected in the first wave and early part of the second wave of the outbreak were of Strain B.

Strain B is the strain that was traced back to Wuhan, China, while Strain A was mostly found in the US and Strain C mostly found in Europe.

"What is important now is to conduct research on the second wave of the outbreak which involved our positive patients who returned from certain countries,"

Parliament should be allowed full operations too, says Fahmi

After certain economic sectors have been allowed to resume full operations, Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil said Parliament should be allowed to operate fully as well.

“Parliament should be made one of the sectors allowed full operations.

“Democracy is critical to the running of transparent and responsible administration,” Fahmi (photo) said in a tweet today.

The Dewan Rakyat is due to convene on May 18, but its 15-day session has been slashed to just one day.

This would allow the lower house to discuss government bills and business, but there would be no oral question sessions, written questions, motions, and special chambers.

MPs would have to undergo Covid-19 tests and temperature screening before joining the session and would sit at least a metre apart from one another.

Opposition MPs have criticised the shortened session, while PKR president Anwar Ibrahim argued for parliament to sit for at least two days to allow some debate.

Earlier today, International Trade and Industry Minister Azmin Ali said economic sectors allowed to operate during the movement control order period would be allowed to operate at full capacity starting tomorrow.

However, companies must comply with standard operating procedures set by the government.

Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the ministry has prepared new procedures for all economic sectors.

Construction and other major industries would be given priority to reopen first, followed b the services sector.
