Possible bonus issue to compensate for the low dividend of 1.5 sen? Last bonus issue was in Year 2014. Aeon has more than sufficient reserves to propose a 1:1 or 1:2 bonus issue.

MUIIND still owns about 42% of LauraAshley, i.e. the brick-and-mortar business and manufacturing plants in the UK have not been sold to Gordon Brothers. What has been sold to Gordon Brothers is the brand "Laura Ashley".

It is too early to write off brick and mortar business model. Online shopping platform are mainly for generic and low-price items where it would not be cost efficient to maintain a brick and mortar presence. Brick and mortar business model is in vogue and will remain so in the foreseeable future. Just need to ensure no over-expansion in the number of outlets and that the product offerings are in accordance with the current wants of shoppers. It is just that the current epidemic has created a major disruption for all businesses.

Good for MUIIND and LA if the Authentic Brands Group could emerge as a major shareholder.

MUIIND could come out from this episode stronger if KKP were to sell his shareholding in LA to the investors, and MUIIND to retain its existing shareholding. LA is not the only company facing the brunt of the Covid-19. Go do some reading up on Burberry, H&M, Zara, etc. Fully agreed with chinaman's comments.

Anyone dare to dream and believe that MUIIND will be back in the banking scene?

The price down trend is merely a knee jerk reaction by punters and speculstors to the accouncement by the major shareholder of MyEG on him selling his holding in MUIIND.

Just 5-10 minutes walk. Corus hotel is DIRECTLY opposite facing KLCC and the upcoming Four Seasons hotel.

If SDB sold Wisma Selangor Dredging for RM480M, how much is Corus Hotel worth??? You'll get an indication from the price.

Laura Ashley may be sold off??? The share price has been bashed down to only 10.75 pence as at end of 5/6/2017 to facilitate the sale??? The share price is below its intrinsic value.
