Can Malaysia manufacturers afford to pay 14 days demurrage charge for chartered ships, air cargo, Iso-tanks and containers waiting for cargo loading?

The worst is just begin for Malaysia capital market when the PN government forced all non-essential manufacturers to shutdown disregard even those export-oriented E&E sector operate in clean room environment and Palm oil industries where the FFB will rotten on the tree or field and those manufacturers for export market will face huge demurrage charges.

I wonder what are those so-called "technocrats" in the government doing? Incompetence, I think.

The government may be privy to the seriousness of the Covid-19 epidemic which we are not aware of.

I think manufacturers can continue their operation as long as they can commit containment for their workers by providing lodging and food during this 2 weeks! We certainly don't want our exports to be effected! Again, the issue here is containment! 2 weeks unpaid leave for this foreign workers will only worsen things as they will roam around and that's not what we want to see!

Dear Datuk Sri,
I ask someone it is the right time to buy dividend and growth stock Magni and VS.
He replied, “Not yet. Lockdown next 2 weeks, every manufacturer are affected. Appealing to authorities to allow us to continue to operate as we are export orientated working mostly in clean room environment. We have 2,500 workers too.

Holding hands, sharing plates
The packed gathering, where guests had to take shuttle buses to sleep at other venues, was attended by nationals from dozens of countries, including Canada, Nigeria, India and Australia, according to an attendee list posted on social media.
There were also citizens of China and South Korea – two countries with high rates of coronavirus infections.

Social media posts show hundreds of worshippers praying shoulder-to-shoulder inside the mosque, while some guests posted selfies as they shared food.

Only half of the Malaysian participants who attended have come forward for testing, raising fears that the outbreak from the mosque could be more far-reaching
Khuzaifah said some of the worshippers who attended the event have since refused to be tested for coronavirus, preferring to rely on God to protect them.

Karim, a 44-year-old Malaysian who attended the gathering and was later tested positive for coronavirus, says the government should have cancelled the event.
“We are a bit disappointed that this outbreak has been blamed entirely on us. That view is unfair. There was no ban on our gathering,” said Karim, who gave only his first name.
“Now I am concerned because I am positive. Please pray for me.”

Dear qqq3,
The worst is not over yet, so please pray for all and stop your attack on OTB

Thank you

djia just temporarily up
covid spreading fast in US
New York Times reporter already said Govt in Italy now making decisions who lives and who dies in Italy.
He also said US Govt will be making decisions who lives and who dies in US very soon.

those who continue to party in shares and refused to consider other options will not survive

shares are of no use to you when "others .... with just a Diploma" will decide whether you live or die.

Haha i3lurker,
Thank for the 50 cents INSAS. So what matter?

I quote the late Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Speech 2005: “Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”------

“No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary”.

I can’t hold back myself but cried every time I watched this video. The video had reminded me and everyone that someday we will finally face our own demise from this world. Will we be able to close our eyes and let the breathing slowly stop…?

Will we be full of remorse or regret and keep asking ourselves IF ONLY I had done this or that then we have lived a purposeful life and ready to face our exit with no sadness and regret?

Are we leaving behind the world a better place than when we first found it?

Do we provide our children with more opportunity than we had?

Are we a good man and doing good deeds to our fellow man?

Do we carry out our earthly responsibility and duty ethically, fairly, justly and with dignity and pride?

So please pray for all Malaysians.

Malaysian Government just organised a mass event last night when thousands exposed each other to infections at Police Stations throughout the country.

Situation today is even worse than on Monday 16th of March.

Just be careful out there.
Shares are of no use to you when you die.

Just make sure that you do NOT attend any mass event organised by Government of Malaysia.
Just refuse to attend any mass event organised by Government.

Remember this => JUST REFUSE, Just say NO

government need to be more bold, details and crystal clear when make some announcement, some of malaysians really confuse after heard the announcement. Action must be aggressively and seriously. Right now, as we can saw 'reborn' government and anwar sides just give the statements. mahathir just keep remain silent and watch this show everyday. he will trigger anytime soon when times it's come on his next game plan whether make another downfall game, remake another government or trigger next GE after this virus goes global gone, mahathir will said a reason this government failed to handle this virus. take granted from the weaknesses, really doesn't care about rakyat. For this present scenes, government on every sides and states need to work together. Just be careful for what everyone wish for.

Dear i3lurker,
Thank you for your kind words. Yes family is more important than looking at shares market now and by the way I am looking at 40% paper loss on my portfolio. (500k paper loss alone in INSAS)

The movement control order is suppose to limit people gathering but due to poor planning and communication problems it had instead generated mass gathering in police station, super market and etc.

And worst of all many are rushing back to their home town since higher institute/resident schools/factory/office were closed without consideration of outstation students/workers studying/working in Selangor are from other states. Malaysia will see another peak in another week time and this time all hometown/kampong will be infested.

Question remain what will happen after 31th March 2020 will all manufacturers/school/office remain closed? And lockdown continues?

So please pray for all.

Thank you
PS: I am net buyer the last few days. Will stop buying until clearer picture emerge.
