Annual report said they have planted 5,000 acres only

If they indeed plan to plant 400,000 acres , there will be huge cash outflow going forward

The best time to buy is after they have completed planting (10 years later?)

Now still early, way too early

Haha!

See & think outside the box.

The Lands were bought 3 years ago. The Ghana Franc has appreciated by 25% against the ringgit.

WASEONG Has Been Selling So Many Assets.

SO?

SO JUST SELL THESE OVER 1 MILLION ACRES LANDS FOR A HUGE PROFIT TO ROBERT KUOK, FGV Or Others.

Think OUT SIDE THE BOX Lah!

seriously for planting 400,000 acres ? ( need to check -the standard terms used are hectares NOT acres. ) it's will take a long long time for wah seong to complete planting. IOI , Genting, FGV are doing green fields in Indonesia at the rate of 2,000 - 3,000 hectares ( app 7,000 - 8,000 acres per annum ) This are pure plantation planters. In Congo without sounding like a doctor doom. Wah seong may faced alot of obstacles. The biggest oil palm producers are Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand. combine they produce almost 92% of the global production. Africa is the last unknown frontier. Nigeria are major producer of Cocoa not palm oil. this is my personal view

This Alam is now part of my portfolio.

Jonathan,

Oil Palm trees FIRST ORIGINATED FROM AFRICA.

Industrialization in Malaysia will turn Oil Palm Lands into Houses, Highways, Factories, Resorts, High Rise Condos in Malaysia.

SEE how IOI Turned Puchong into a thriving housing Town?

The bastion for future Oil Palm will move to Papua New Guinea & AFRICA!

Calvin, why not buy the crude oil commodity itself instead of buying a company with many risks

Yes, Jurong Point is very well planned with

MRT
Bus Inter Change
2 taxi stands
2 passenger pick up points
Factory bus pick up point.
24 hour food court.

This is my favourite Shopping Mall in Singapore

Dayang is ok. It is in East Malaysia.

Calvin,
waseong revenue is not improving, worst still the earning is drooping and going into red. In your opinion, what factor or factors that will make waseong turn around and the share price will go up again?

Posted by calvintaneng > 2016-03-17 12:21 | Report Abuse

007,

These are the FACTORS:

1) Crude Oil Crashed in 2007/8 Waseong Crashed to a low of 96 cts.

In year 200 Crude Oil rebounded Waseong Surged to a high of Rm2.77 (Up 200%)

Since Oil is Cyclical anything can happen

2) Shale Oil Rigs have gone bankrupt by 60%. So Crude Should have found a floor

3) Waseong still get jobs.

4) Waseong can dispose Assets and book them as Profits

5) Waseong can also follow Hap Seng, Eg, Seacera, Fiamma and REVALUE ASSETS AND BOOK THEM AS PROFITS. That's how Icon8888 chase their shares

6) Waseong could be taken private like KULIM. Last time one fund kept selling Kulim shares below Rm2.50. Then JCORP Took it private at Rm4.10 (Up 60%)

7) Any unknown reason it can go up DUE TO GREAT VALUE!

I just arrived in Jurong West, Singapore.

Apart from Jurong Point I like the Food Stall called Azhar Eating House at 7th Mile Bkt Timah. However, parking is a problem there.

But I prefer food in Johor much better as price is only 35% of Singapore. Why pay more in Singapore.

Malaysia Boleh!

Don't like to say too much negative things on others' articles. Just my humble opinion. like your other articles, but not this one, reason: bias and not convincing. I'm in doubt about your investment approach now. Perhaps you're thinking in the contrarian way, able to spot the one that is with relatively low price, and have built up some interest in it, but your article is basically one-sided points. The other sides: 1) why the share price dropped, 2) why someone keep selling recently, 3) why the recent financial results worsen, 4) why debts have increased so much?

I have no intention to spend my precious time here with the purpose to criticize you. But if you could spent some times to think about the reasons for the other sides, you might have better understanding, which I believe would value-added in your decision-making, and for others as well.

#7 wrong. Wah Seong (Malaya) Trading Company Sdn. Bhd. owns Goldis NOT Wah Seong Corp Bhd. Any gain or loss of Goldis has no impact to Wah Seong Corp Bhd at all!!

Wah Seong takes up the challenge where few dare to venture PDF Print E-mail
(Article by P.Y. Chin, New Sunday Times, 30 June 2002)

WAH Seong Corporation, the big boys of pipe-coating in Malaysia whose shares are soon to be listed on the KLSE Main Board, is into thinking big. Though the sky is the limit, the board of directors at Wah Seong has to play strictly by company rules.

BIG is the buzz word in world business these days but for Wah Seong, it must not be with abandon and to the cost of the shareholders in the future.

As Wah Seong managing director and CEO Chan Cheu Leong explains, "I have structured the company''s memorandum and articles of association (M&A) such that there is a cap on the borrowing limit.

"Borrowing is limited to 2.5 times the shareholders'' fund. This is to protect the company.

"Some of the directors and people outside the company have asked me why would I would want to tie our hands. My answer was simple:

"I told them that you cannot assume that all of us would be running the company for life. The company is an on-going entity.

"We must have a good management system that can protect shareholders'' interests, a system that limits the risks."

While the cap on borrowing is self-inflicted, so to speak, it no way inhibits Wah Seong going big in their own responsible way.

Chan recently gave a presentation on the company to a group of analysts as a prelude to the company''s shares being listed on the Main Board.

The presentation started with a scene of the sea showing the sun rising above the horizon. Words were splashed across the scene: "A new chapter for Wah Seong Corporation - towards realising its vision as a major Asian industrial group" and "A consistent performer as consistent as sunrise everyday".

The bottomline, of course, came at the end.

"Why invest in Wah Seong shares?" Three reasons were forwarded:
· cheap entry to Asia/global oil and gas service infrastructure company with excellent growth potential;
· fundamentally good mix of business; and,
· stable and committed management team.

Good mix of business, stable, committed management team. Mere words describing a company seeking listing?

Wah Seong is no new corporate kid coming onto the KLSE block.

Indeed, Wah Seong has been around for 47 years. The Tan brothers, Datuk Chin Nam and Datuk Kim Yeow, of Tan & Tan fame, founded the family company, Wah Seong (Malaya) Trading Co Sdn Bhd, in 1955, to deal mainly in essential commodities.

Known as "a small family trading outfit", the Wah Seong of today, which is being listed as Wah Seong Corporation, is into a business few Malaysians dare venture into - oil and gas.

But it is not the oil and gas business as many would understand it to be, which is exploring and drilling, or refining, or the retail petroleum business.

Wah Seong is into the highly specialised pipe-coating and the manufacturing and fabricating of steel pipes for the oil and gas industry at home and abroad.

As Chan says, "In Asia we are one of the top two players in the pipe-coating business, and worldwide we have established ourselves as one of the top three."

In Malaysia, Wah Seong has already established a strong market presence - they have captured a 60 per cent share.

"Actually," says Chan, "there are not many players in this business," There are, according to him, about 10 players worldwide.

Why the small number?

Chan gives four reasons:
· it is a very regulated industry: there are only two players in Malaysia, one of which is Wah Seong;
· the technology content is very high: you need the technological know-how to set up the business;
· you must have a track record, track record and track record, just like in the property business where location, location and location are the three most important factors; and,
· the business is capital-intensive, requiring heavy capital expenditure to build up an infrastructure to operate profitably.

Calvin, just to highlight that Wah Seong Corp Bhd does not hold substantial share in Goldis. The major shareholder of Goldis is Wah Seong (M) Trading Co Sdn Bhd, which is also major shareholder of Wah Seong Corp Bhd.
Wah Seong (M) Trading Co Sdn Bhd is common shareholder of both Goldis and Wah Seong Corp Bhd.
Your #7 statement is misleading, WASEONG IS TOP 2 HOLDERS OF GOLDIS & GOLDIS IS TOP HOLDERS OF IGB. Here WASEONG= Wah Seong (M) Trading Co Sdn Bhd ≠ Wah Seong Corp Bhd

1.161 ACRES OF PLANTATION LANDS WERE PURCHASED FOR RM101 MILLIONS WHEN RINGGIT WAS STILL STRONG. NOW RINGGIT HAS CRASHED BY 25% AGAINST CONGO FRANC. SO CONVERTED BACK COST WOULD BE 101 Millions x 25% = RM126.25 MILLIONS WORTH NOW.

GOOD PLANTABLE LANDS ARE 180,000 ACRES = 180,000 x 444,780 ACRES.

WASEONG HAS BEEN DISPOSING ASSETS FROM TIME TO TIME!!
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WASEONG COULD SEEK TO SELL THESE PRECIOUS LANDS TO FGV OR WILMAR!
