I heard that civil servants following very strict bureaucratic red tape since pH won. Under BN, they don't follow the sop and skip some steps. Why not just do administrative reforms in the civil service instead of drama like this.

How to prevent corporate influence on the media? Example is Murdoch newscorp having huge influence.

I want him to stay too so I know which stocks to sell or avoid.

Why no one taken it private yet?

POS seems to have some sort of internal issue since May. Seems like they really have lack of Pos men. Nowadays the poslaju guys will just sign themselves and leave the package somewhere near your gate.

Those who chase high @ 1.5++ gonna be stuck for a very, very long time.

Edge financial news are more reliable for business news. That news sarah shared is just common sense. More people going to official news since new govt took over.

If they plan to abolish toll, the first toll to be abolished is the LDP or North South Expressway. Duke will probably be the last toll they abolish or probably won't since no point to.

You mean Q3? I think better results coming from profit recognition from property development business.

You can't reason with old people. The older the get, the much harder it is to find common ground. They are very stubborn. They believe their way is the right way. Especially now that they have power.

Not sure how BN govt can rob. They might use the funds for govt-related spending. Then they could raise back the same money for the refunds. As long as the records are there, I don't see any problems to pay. LGE is talking nonsense and showing his immaturity.

@gift they wanna buy cheap. It's like those IB buy and sell call. When they mean 'sell', it means sell to them. 'buy' then buy from them. Same thing here.

If use rakyat money, can do anything and keep taxing rakyat to keep business afloat. If use own and children's money then might end up bankrupt like the Loaf. At least under govt, can give nice contracts back to family and friends. Malaysians got fooled twice by the same fox.

KYY need a stock where there is no dominant shareholding. He can takeover and dictate their policies.

Lol no money to pay audit fees. Audit fee so cheap.

Primed for goreng session soon? Just need a catalyst and a positive QR.

Lower crude oil price is good for refinery. If crude increase price, refinery temporary have higher profit since they bought crude at cheaper price. Therefore, higher crack spread.

MS buying on behalf of MUFG fund. I don't think they're very concerned on appointing a BOD. They seem to be confident on media's recovery.

Goreng provided for by KUB Gaz!

JAKS has no IPP project in Malaysia. Lol. In the future please do more research into the company you buy stocks. However, JAKS construction projects in Malaysia will be affected by new govt.

Lol. Small case but investors overreact. Top glove is overpriced and the price correction is justified.

What is he suggesting is to return MAS to old songlap entity instead of the new smaller and leaner airlines the previous govt tried to do.

A&W sold! Next week Monday will up!

I find it funny that countries with higher debt than Malaysia wants to help us. Lol.

If next quarter profitable can easily go back to RM 1 and above.

UMNO linked but don't depend on govt. They have genuine businesses.

This is kinda humiliating. They better just maintain GST and trim the fat from government. They don't have to bring back subsidies. PH are still idealists. Maybe only after a year or two they'd realize the problems then.

Thanks CentnSenses for sharing.

@Jon Choivo They still can do property development. They got some nice prime land from previous govt. Plus, I don't think new govt will kill off the major construction players.

Privatize is misleading. It should be nationalize as it is the govt buying over private assets. Not sure who's the person who wrote the article.

Should the government nationalize the highways, they need to pay the fair market value. At current market cap, EKOVEST is very cheap. We can either expect a special dividend or for the management to pursue more development and businesses. I believe the management is quite capable.

Ekovest is not Puncak Niaga. They still got property development around KL prime areas.

LGE needs to do more research and come up with solution before declaring actual debts. Malaysian confirm kena credit downgrade.

We loyal to botak and hope he can feed us ikan bilis soon

Daim himself agrees that if abolish toll need to compensate toll operators.

On the restructuring of highway concessionaires so that toll charges can be abolished, Daim said the matter was not yet finalised and that the council would be meeting with the stakeholders this week.

“It has not been finalised, we are doing the study and we need to meet all the parties involved. But at the end of the day, we have to honour the manifesto,” he told reporters at Menara Ilham last week.

The abolishment of tolls was one of Pakatan Harapan’s election promise in the run-up to the 14th general election.

The fear is that a complete abolition may result in the federal government bearing the full burden of compensation to concessions, something that could increase its budget deficit.

2 times dividend. Total dividend for FY 2017 is 2 cents.

Even if toll abolished, Ekovest will get fair compensation. They can focus on tendering for new construction projects and maintenance contracts for the newly nationalized highway assets. They have more cash to focus on their property development along the prime land areas. EkoCheras is almost done and then there is the River of Life.

Tun won't. He will respect the highway just like he is respecting the ECRL. The toll concessionaires employ a lot people.

Most likely not. I feel next highway they go after will be LDP. DUKE should be unaffected.

Zeti is talking about PLUS which is owned by 51% UEM Group(Khazanah) and 49% EPF. They're gonna discuss with these 2 to lower toll rates for PLUS operated highways. Probably longer concession periods.

MPB probably axing a lot of those involved in the pro-BN news.

I'm afraid when I see myeg sell queue. Millions of shares waiting to unload

Tan Sri can always take photo with Tun M. Settle. Businessman need govt to grow. And govt sure need businessman to grow to employ it's citizens. Sure settle. Tun M is very pro-business.

UMNO and BN doesn't have any ownership in MEDIA. Media is still mostly owned by GLCs.

Remove GST=Most companies start to go back to old days and under declare income to avoid paying tax. Corporate tax=reduce, income from GST=gone, Maybe this time cost of living goes up due to SST because SST will be enforced much more strictly.

After 5 years Tony Fernandez can apologise to pm

Agreed. They bought very cheap price from MoF which dragged down the price of the share. Now Q4 posted surging profits but not reflected in share price. Fair value definitely should be at least RM 0.80 or higher.

Ekovest nothing to do with BM. New govt won't wanna kill off companies. Later more people lose job and angry at new govt.

Yeah most of us we watching or reading media owned platforms. Was actually watching TV3 on 9th May when announcing results. At 11PM when start to have delay, they started to talk about regime change so there is hope for Media.

Since they no money, toll will continue. Besides, Duke highway will be on lower priority compared to the more famous tolls.
