@Lim Elson. If I remember correctly, Langat2 cost RM8 billion - RM4B for the water treatment plants and RM4B for the pipes system. You are right in that Pahang's charge price for the water is a more important determinant of the price Selangorians will have to pay.

@stkoay. I am still a new investor; been in the game for a year and learning from people like OTB. I have enough of the corporate world and so choose to lead a more quiet life for the next few years or so. OTB, though a bit emotional which can affect his advice, is a capable sifu. But like with all advice, we look before we leap (my girl-friend's advice to me when I was a teenager!).

@stkoay. No. No Big Mercedes parked in my garden donated by the stock market. I am just a 'Asoh' investor. Not smart like Wikileaks of Hevea forum.

I like my free water up to 20 cubic m per month. After that they can increase the tariffs to punish the wasters!

It's a slow steady rise babies! Just be patient. Puncak's a very beautiful but impetuous girl! Faint hearts and impatience no win fair ladies.

Yeah, Roger the talking Colon is talking non-stop. His brain is lost in the SIO. So his colon is talking independently of his brains! HaHaHa! BTW 119 or 911 means everyday got enough in Cantonese.

Roger123 crashed earlier into the SIO. But he has been rescued, not the whole body, just his colon, which is still talking!

@Roger123. I thought you have grown wiser when you use 'should' earlier. But now you have used 'will' like a prophet. We will see whether you are once more talking through your colon! But if it does goes down it will be good buy opp!

@RM2.94 per share, still time to get on and ride the tiger. Anyone?

Khalid can still increase the amount paid to Puncak without paying more than RM9.65. He can take-over more of Syabas's debts, by say offsetting partially with the debts claimed by Puncak for increased tariffs but unpaid by Selangor. This will result in the increase in net payment over the RM1.6B that was envisaged in the RM9.65B offer. Fed can also top-up with the RM2B it offered.

@Roger123. So would a lot of people at RM2.85!

Final maneuvers.

@stkoay. Which other heavyweights? KSL? PRK still not moving.

@stkoay. Mother tends to worry about the son if the son don't want to follow and start searching, hopefully northwards tomorrow. @angelina2 baby. Is that right? You worry about your son if he is not around and start searching high and low, especially high?

@stkoay. Moderately raised volume i.e. stock you recommended. Indicators signal uptrend.

@stkoay. Noted. Thanks.

@stkoay. Ayam was braying!

Share price volatile due to uncertainty. Trade if got profit. Can buy back once share price up-cycle again. The overall trend I think is North.

@stkoay. LTH purchase is significant - indicate a positive reaction to the Cabinet decision by at least one Fund. It cannot be mere co-incidence. Likely the Cabinet offer contains new positive elements. Also the number 4 is deemed auspicious by the majority in our multi-culture society. Would be interesting to see what happened on Monday 14/4/14.

@angelina2 baby, join the club. I also find it hard oftentimes to accept different opinions because I bought at a high price. That's why when the opinions become too negative, I leave the forum for a while. In that sense, I am a lousy investor, no?

@longterminvest. That's your 'in your face' way of putting it. Clearly and plainly. @angelina2, darling, please don't be too upset lah, but learn form it and accept different opinions that have been given in good faith next time. OK?

14/4/14 (Monday) coming up. Big, big buy by LTH and others on this 'auspicious' date?

@longterminvest. Khalid always been overrated. Yet Hannah Teoh was suspiciously on record for saying he is very prudent; but fact is, he did not spend the RM500 million provided by the Fed to maintain and upgrade Selangor's road! He hoarded it instead. As you have pointed out, he did not seem to know what he is doing in the present water restructuring exercise.

@angelina2 baby. EPF make loss, not much political problem lah. BUT if LTH make loss?!! Big, big problem. So LTH buy into Puncak is more more important than EPF!

angelina2 darling, I have not heard from you for some time. stkoay and I share the same values for making helpful, informed postings in helping people make money, including ourselves. Where have you been baby? Have you been selling blindly? Please don't lah. Even if the water restructuring bomb out for Puncak, it still got Oil and Gas and Construction AND good old contacts. In 2008 it went up to RM5, and that was before the water restructuring! KPS will go up. It already accepted Khalid's RM9.65B offer KPS and Puncak are like husband and wife tahu? Husband already accepted. Wife will follow soon, no?

The top up will have to be an amount that will satisfy and not spook the RM2 trillion capital market.

@stkoay. Thanks for the encouragement.

The funds are buying. Tabung Haji bought 2 million shares on 4/4/14! Auspicious date?!

Hindsight is always 20/20 vision. Both sides did not factor in a prolonged drought. The water shortage predicted by the state opposition was due to the projected water usage which Khalid disputed. The current extreme drought is a once in a decade and a half event. No one can predict it and its extent. The last one was in 1998, but the water rationing then was not this bad.

@stkoay. Not sure, but if the report is accurate, it means Rozali has an offer from the Fed ready for presenting to EGM. Good on you to keep fit. I was planning to do a bit of gardening, but a lightning and thunder storm overhead, so cannot. Will have a hearty dinner of steamed big-head carp's head this evening. Pity ayamberlari sudah terlari. Otherwise I would have ginger steamed free range chicken with light-fried 'tie wong miu' instead! happy jogging.

Interesting that they present Fed's offer straight to EGM instead of first discussing within the BOD. Meaning BOD already accepted the Fed's offer?!

Puncak gap up to RM2.95. None done at RM2.94! Tomorrow >RM3?!

Both mother and son moving north. Ride the tiger anyone? If so, join the thrill now!

@stkoay. Also not forgetting the RM2B top up. That should sweeten the deal! Must not let ayamterlari escape this time.

@stKoay. Yeah Tiger is coming again. The horse is waiting. Good that I did not get off the tiger, otherwise got eaten. The tiger is going to eat up ayamberlari this time. HaHaHa!

ayamberlari is an amusing clown. He is the Bozo of this forum. It's quite obvious how he earns his keep.

Puncak going up! hng33 appears correct. The market's catching up. Tiger's coming again!

Khalid was just a dawn raider, and this was successful only with the help of the Rothschild! He is not a competent manager.

Management authority without ownership of private assets or business is an oxymoron. It will be very messy. The litigation lawyers will be happy at the prospect of lucrative law suits should anything go wrong, e.g. drop in profit etc! Also the future cost of financing regulated assets. Interest cost for infrastructure loans will rise, if for the first time in Malaysian history, there is a forced take-over of control of private assets. Don't think Ongkili will risk it!

No body is going to want to take the blame if the capital market react negatively to a forced take-over of assets.

No big sell-down. I think a slow and steady up in price from now.

KPS has accepted. So is not affected by tussle between Khalid and water concessionaires. KPS down more like price manipulation. Some one surely is collecting!

Yeah, they all BS big time. Never rust politicians. Always follow the money trail to find out what they are up to!

That's right babe. I also hold KPS. Haha!

I expect Puncak to up tomorrow. See if I am right! HaHa!

Too messy to exercise WaSIA - operating without owning asset and business. Fed forcing Khalid to settle. RM2B from Fed plus RM2B from Stste will settle the issue!

Yeah, he is very cunning. He provided RM2B. But Khalid want to keep it(?).

I agree. Fed dare not risk RM2 Trillion capital market on a forced take-over. Even if take over management risky. So I bet there will be 'adequate' compensation in accordance with the constitution.

Khalid won't be around for long. So he is becoming irrelevant history.

Market expecting pressure to settle. Last minute up price. Market would have got whiff of Cabinet decision before price rise. So likely market reaction is positive!
