xskyriver. Your nickname has it gotta do with an establishment in Bukit Bintang haha...
I am impressed with you. Being new and you already grasp the essence of successful investment. I have 27 years of investment experience under my belt and yet i am still amateur and made lots of painful mistakes along the way.
My advise to you, ignore ups and downs of shares. Stick with good counter. If you wanna goreng, use less than 5% of your available fund. You will be very successful in your retirement.
SD is innocent till proven guilty. But whether in KLSE or in real life, we need to make judgements. My company's bad debt has been 0.2% of my turnover over the last 10 years. That's how i survive by being careful.
A lot of failed businessmen blamed their failure on uncollected debts. They blame the failure on others instead of what they could have done differently
Thumbs up

xskyriver To be honest, I really learned something from this SD case.

Gotta know about this yesterday when my daughter showed me this news. Would this become a new tomorrow just like carbon zero and EV?
I sold my BAT because the dividend yield just ain't attractive for me personally at current price. Of course, at lower price or higher profit this could change. However, if there are a fundamental change in consumer habit, then BAT's attractiveness would need to be evaluated not just on dividend yield alone.

Promotion time. Yeah BAT has scaled new height not seen since Dec 2020. Now, that's before pandemic. Chart wise, unless it drops below RM14, otherwise the uptrend might continue. Haha, all the sudden i sound like a chartist.
Now, i gotta declare my average cost is less than RM11 and i am promoting because i don't intend to accumulate more shares and would like you to push up the price. Apart rom capital gain, i am looking at dividend yield. 50% of my share holdings are in dividend stocks because that's what i gonna rely on after retirement.

Make sense. Insas is indeed deeply under valued. However, i won't buy Insas as one forumer once highlighted. "opportunity cost" Since i have limited fund, i need to decide on my best returns. Of course, i only "hope" i invested in the right company. Investing in deep discounted NTA companies was a strategy i employed more than 20 plus years ago. My experience told me that success rate low. Reason being that most deeply discounted NTA companies are deeply discounted for a reason. A lot of time, the major share holders are no longer active. This is just a general overview. The best scenario one could look for is the major share holder privatise the company like in the case of Cycle and Carriage. However, even in such cases, most offer price will be either "fair but unreasonable" or "unreasonable" at best.

Sslee Insas cash call RI Is not a cash call per se. The whole RI is for someone to hold the warrants so that he can sleep well knowing he can fend off a hostile take over.

To be fair to JAKS, when i first read about JAKS PP in Vietnam, "another con news" came to mind. Indeed it took them years to secure a China partner? Otherwise, the deal would die off like many others.
If nothing, i give credit to ALP for securing the China partner and also the 30% share holding. If it was me, i would have closed the deal with 10% share holding probably.
I won't have invested in JAKS if not of Vietnam PP

Below were the 5 scenarios i presented in Nov 2020.
Looking at the latest JAKS pp, JAKS need working capital. That would make up 25% of the pp. Indeed, even with the Vietnam PP, JAKS management need to let share holders know when the dividend could be monetised in Malaysia. Otherwise, JAKS will constantly need working capital cos their Malaysia operation is bleeding. As i highlighted, if i were running JAKS, i would sell Malaysia properties even at a loss and stop construction jobs. However, now definitely not the best time to sell any properties cos it's the lowest you will get. So, i can only hope the 25% for working capital is not worse case scenario. However, at best it's 4th scenario. The working capital would come to around 5% of JAKS market cap.
Another RM50 is for LSS solar farm. I am ok with it. So, all in all, 10% pp will be sufficient. The other 10% of the PP only could be raised if JAKS has an acquisition.
LSS should fall into scenario 2.
As for the acquisition, can't comment which scenario it would fall under since nothing being annouced. I presume JAKS can't raise more than 10% without any acquisition news.
As for the acquisition, if it's from middle east, i will sell first and verify later
PS. you can read the details of pp utilisation under page 3 of the announcement.

SSlee. I agreed with you RI won't benefit existing share holders due to dilution. The best scenario is not to have RI but bank loan.
Best scenario. Company gets a bank loan for additional income generating business where the return would be higher than the loan interest. However, it needs to be a sure win business. In real life, where can find such business easily?
2nd best scenario. Company RI for additional income generating business. Best la if it's sure profit.
3rd best scenario. Company RI for additional funds into new business but profit or loss yet to determine
4th not so good scenario. Company RI for cash flow caused losing money but management still genuinely wanna make money
Worst case scenario. Company RI for cash flow so that they could syphon more money away via salaries, expenses and loss making ventures. Normally these companies are easily identified in KLSE because they would do RI every alternate years and come up with very ambitious projections that never materialise.
Now, JAKS is which one. You decide. I HOPE it's 2nd best la.
How about Insas, SSLee? Which you reckon?

If the accounts are cooked, can't have happened just in 2020. So, 2 scenarios here
1. Auditor found no fault. In this case, the auditor needs to be found accountable for their incompetence
2. Auditor found fault. In this case, the auditor needs to be accountable for their incompetence too

joyvest the auditors are not bloodhound but watch dogs. They conduct their process of audit based on the information and explanation given to them by the Management . If the Management has the intention to fraud by presenting the wrong or misleading information and explanation to the auditors, there is nothing much the auditors can do provided that they carry out their audit in accordance with their auditing standards.

If however, they discover irregularities through their process of audit , they must highlight to the attention of the Mgt for further action. the Mgt just cant turn a blind eye to the irregularities. the auditors owe a duty of care to the stakeholders at large as a professional .

I disagree this is the modus operandi

rkgfantasy From what i see the Special Independent Review
i roughly understand how Serba get project so easy
very typical GLC win win strategy
let say 100m project
serba tender with 120m, and promise to use the “supplier or related consultant provide by the project owner”
than Serba will appoint a professional sub or main con to do the job with 85million price tag
20m surplus consultancy fee will give back the insider project owner
serba earn 15m as a middleman, the subcon get 85m to do job
3 side win win....

that why when come to audit... look a lot of fishy, but this ain’t how those company doing ?

Ah. This sounds like an ex auditor.
I still waiting for Men Stock sifu feedback :)
Just88. I am the author of a blog on 3rd May 2021. See whether it's reasonable from a non account back ground person? (failed to graduate as an accountant)
Who knows, maybe because of my blog, KPMG dares not sign off anything again otherwise they will get the shit like in 1MDB?


Just88 From an ex-auditor;

"My opinion on Serbak : The issues raised by KPMG are not actually only raised to the management on 3 May 2021. The date represents the official date to which the issues were brought to Serbak after months of deliberation but still remain unacceptable by KPMG. These audits were carried out as interim audit where the emphasis of the audit is on the authenticity of the transactions instead of the accounts itself. Audit procedures were carried out to verify the identities of the customers and suppliers and the nature of the underlying transactions. These procedures were normally carried out 3 months before year end account closing date. Therefore, the company and the auditors have been working on these irregularities found by the auditors for more than 6 months but unable to resolve the matters to the satisfaction of the auditors. From the company's announcement, it seems to most people that auditors are unreasonable in solving the matters but not to me. Auditors are generally tolerable and acceptable to explanations by the management but why aren't they towards Serbak ? As mentioned, KPMG have been its auditors since 2013, so the auditors is well aware of the businesses of Serbak. If they are not comfortable now, it only means that the risk involved is too big for them to tolerate now. Remember Transmile's auditors only raised the red flag after 3 years of audit. Personally, I agree with the irregularities found by the auditors and I found management responses hard to swallow."

if you are holding Serba shares, don't listen to any positive or negative forumers here. Whatever they said most probably not out of good intention including me. Hence, evaluate yourself.
1. The 1 asks you to dumb dumb hold, how you know he is not trying to sell at better price?
2. The 1 asks you to sell, how you know is not trying to buy cheap?
My suggestion to you. If Serba account got problem, it's not even worth 0.70.
If Serba account no problem, it's easily worth more than RM2 or even much higher.

MiaoMiao7. If 3rd party found nothing suspicious after investigation, i will buy Serba up to RM2.
Condition is that Serba needs to engage a reputable 3rd party independent investigator.
As i said, audit firm WORKS for me. Cos i pay their fees. You not happy, i change auditor.
From below statement, KPMG would have unofficially requested for certain documents and Serba didn't provide. Hence, in May, they have to make this official otherwise the blame would be on KPMG. Now, if i am the account manager in KPMG handling Serba audit, this is what i gonna tell their management. Look, we found risks that we can't brush off and since you can't provide me evidence, we can't sign. BUT, if you could get a 3rd party investigator to provide a report that everything is in order, then we can sign off. Since, the responsibility now lie with the 3rd party investigator. So, the reputation of the 3rd party investigator is very important in my opinion.

"We understand from management that as part of its annual audit process (start: October 2020), KPMG had requested Serba Dinamik for assurances on risk factors. The latter was identified earlier in April 2021 and officially submitted to Serba in early May 2021," TA Research said.

MiaoMiao7 Market sentiment for Karim stocks are bad, however if after auditing they found no problem and kmpg and the new external auditor also approve, then the stock will fly as it clears all doubt about it. Since Karim is already at this stage, he might as well order an external audit of kpower and scib to clear all doubt once and for all, then all stocks will fly after that.... provided that everything is in order.

Actually, from my collection, apart from Transmile, also London Biscuit.
What i highlight below is not targeted at any company in particular but as a general guidelines. Any companies in KLSE could be a suspect and auditors and bursa should be accountable for failures like Transmile and London Biscuit. Btw, was any auditor being sued in 1MDB case?
How to identify irregularities in companies? (My opinion)
1. Profit margin. What's the average profit margin of the said industry? Red alert when the margin is significantly higher or lower than the industry average. Significantly higher - then you better study why? Technically superior? Or better managed efficiency? if not both, then fishy...
Lower margin than average. I am ok if still profitable and compensated by volume. If making losses, forget about such companies. Will die out due to incompetence.
2. Keep venturing into unrelated industries. What, you think you are Elon Musk??? Btw, i personally won't buy Tesla. What's their competitive advantage in EV world when everyone's launching EV? At same price, you buy Tesla or Porsche Taycan?
Eg. many companies venture into gloves. So easy meh? I know many people are loaded with cash. If cash alone can solve problems, then everyone a billionaire. For me, those venture in gloves, Mah Sing has high success rate. Because Mah Sing started with plastic pallet business. Still different from glove but better than many companies lah.
Even companies in O&G industry are specialised. Not easy for an O&G company to cross into another discipline and make money. What more different industry? You think play monopoly? Yes, 1 can be successful too but i think 2 ways.
1. trial and error period
2. get instant success by buying up companies. However, you still need to pay school fees for a period of time to learn the trade...

Agreed with my arguement above?

Below is the definition. Simply put it, i am a business owner so my account and my auditor actually WORK for me. If you don't, i just change you. Very rare auditor would issue such warning. By doing that, an auditor already expect to lose this client forever. If it's just some minor fraud by account, this would have been announced. Cos if i am running the show, as long as it doesn't involve me, ok bah.
Remember how auditors resigned from 1MDB?
My experience as a business owner, auditor would just close 1 eye as long as they don't think the matters are too serious. At the end, they just want fees. They are not really the righteous overseer of wrongdoing to protect share holders right.
It's natural for people to defend Serba if they hold shares in Serba. If you are the typical Malaysians who dwell in KLSE and buy whatever stocks you deem can go up irregardless of the business, don't read into this too much. However, if you are a real investor then you might wanna think twice about your investment.
I am surprised many people always use EPF as their arguement. With the money EPF has, they would invest in virtually all the biggest cap companies in KLSE


Meaning of a Statutory Audit
A statutory audit is a legally required check of the accuracy of the financial statements and records of a company or government. A statutory audit is intended to determine if an organisation delivers an honest and accurate representation of its financial position by evaluating information, such as bank balances, financial transactions, and accounting records.
