Star Media has strong media assets. Its internet platform is widely read. It only needs to be monetized.

Its losses are due to softening of ad revenue which is temporary and also partly attributed to discountinued operations.

Star needs a shareholder activist to put pressure on its Board of Directors and management to unlock value further. It has not done enough to allocate capital wisely.

CEO & Group MD Linda Ngiam keeps selling her Star shares. It goes to show that she has no confidence even in her own stewardship of Star. The Board of Directors representing shareholders should ask her to leave the company so that she no longer milks the company further

Yes! I a stay in Penang. E&O's STP2 land development is on track as planned.

Sunway has multi billion ringgit projects in Penang in Air Itam, Paya Terubong, Anson Road. Please note that these project locations are non-prime locations.

STP2 is super prime land with very high traffic + population with higher earning capacity compared to the rest of other Penang locations.

ECM management can afford to pay even more dividends but it is holding back.

Sri Lanka hotel which has a monopoly position in the airport should bring more upside to the share price

Value of STP2 will shine brightly once Chinese investors come in. Penang is more suitable for Chinese investors than Johor or KL. Penang island has a high concentration of Chinese population which makes it a natural habitat for Chinese nationals

Star Media's Group CEO and Chief Editor should be personally and legally liable together with the Board of Directors for any action by the Home Ministry.

There should be "Clawbacks" in their compensation scheme so that Star Media can take back money that has already been disbursed plus a penalty if Home Ministry finds them blameworthy.

Star Media has to implement a restructuring program

1) change in management and Board of Directors
2) capital repayment - special dividends
3) sell non-core assets - TV & Broadcasting
4) implement strict investment program which offers a good risk/reward with good price

Hold management and Board of Directors accountable for recent and future failures

Star Media ought to pay special dividends from Cityneon sale.

Internet and digital assets in the marketplace now are extremely overpriced. Should Star Media pursue these assets aggresively the Board of Directors would need to be accountable and held legally liable for future writedowns.

Also Star Media ought to sell non-core assets TV and Broadcasting divisions to unlock value.

Something big happened!

Latest financial quarter ECM made a financial loss.

With the arrival of Mr Gareth Lim Tze Xiang ECM is paying unnecessary director's fees.

First AirAsia X then Plato Capital and now ECM is being dragged into losses for shareholders

Why does ECM need Mr Gareth Lim Tze Xiang (son of Mr Lim Kian Onn) as Director when it has the father inside the company?

As CEO of Plato Capital, Mr Gareth Lim has made its minority shareholders so much poorer.

Now Mr Gareth Lim gets to draw additional Director fees from ECM. Will Minority shareholders of ECM suffer the same fate as Plato Capital minority shareholders? HIs fees are a financial burden to ECM minority shareholders.

Again ECM is falling behind. Management is not doing much except rewarding big fat pay to themselves. Just look at what others in the industry are doing just a few months back:

Hong Leong Asset Management has a new fund Hong Leong Regular Income

ECM's management (related parties) is definitely getting well paid for doing very little. Other investment houses are busy building their asset management businesses while ECM has very little to show for except a major shareholder is trying to buy cheap from the minorities.
