Aug. 11: Trump continues his heated rhetoric against North Korea, tweeting that, "Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!"

President Donald Trump on Friday warned North Korea's leader that he "will not get away with" it if he does anything against the U.S. or its allies.

"If he utters one threat in the form of an overt threat — which by the way he's been uttering for years, and his family has been uttering for years — or if he does anything with respect to Guam, or American territory or an American ally, he will truly regret it and he will regret it fast," Trump said of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Speaking to reporters later after meeting with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, the president said he planned to talk to Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday evening, noting that the two countries have been working "very closely" on the North Korea issue.

Trump also previewed that his administration was considering "very strong" additional sanctions on North Korea — "as strong as they can get," he added — but he did not offer any details.

The president said the only reason anyone was criticizing his handling of North Korea was because he was the one in charge.

"My critics are only saying that because it's me," Trump told reporters at his Bedminster, N.J., golf resort. "If somebody else uttered same words I did, they'd say what a wonderful statement."

He added, "Tens of millions in this country so happy with what I'm saying — finally we have president sticking up for our nation and for our friends and allies — and this man will not get away with what he's doing, believe me."

All eyes on Frontken

BY TEE LIN SAY

Growth strategy: Frontken’s plant in Kulim Hi-Tech Park. Over the last three years, Frontken has switched its focus from heavy oil and gas-related services to higher margin semiconductor services.
Growth strategy: Frontken’s plant in Kulim Hi-Tech Park. Over the last three years, Frontken has switched its focus from heavy oil and gas-related services to higher margin semiconductor services.

Despite the sudden selldown its prospects look positive

FRONTKEN Corp Bhd has very much been in the spotlight this week.

In fact, it has pretty much hogged the trading volume list over the last few months, almost always being among the top 10 most actively traded counters of the day. This has somehow created the perception that the stock is more hype than real business.

Frontken had also been in the news over the years as a company that could possibly see new major shareholders emerging or becoming a privatisation target by its owners. What is for certain though, is that the financials of the company have been improving since 2015.

The stock is also clearly a favourite with some investors, as it was up some 130% prior to its fall last on Monday, Aug 7.

Last Monday, after 4pm, Frontken’s shares suddenly experienced a selldown, causing its price to plunge by 20% or 8.5 sen to 33.5 sen. Some 178.8 million shares changed hands and it was the most actively traded counter of the day.

Dealers say Fronken’s share drop may have spooked the market. Selling of Frontken’s shares continued during Tuesday morning session. This may have caused a domino effect which saw other small-cap tech stocks also fall. By the afternoon trading session though, Frontken had stabilised and recovered back to its Monday’s close of 33.5 sen.

To be fair to Frontken, despite the year-to-date run up in its stock, the stock’s price-to-earnings ratio was still palatable.

At Thursday’s close of 32.5 sen, it is trading at a historical 2016 price-to-earnings ratio of some 15 times. It is also in a solid net cash position of RM65.7mil or 6.3 sen per share.

Nonetheless, tongues were wagging, brokers were talking and investors were jittery. Who was the big seller?

A check on Bloomberg shows that the major shareholders of the company continues to be CP Asia Holding GMBH with 27.8%, Ooi Keng Thye with 13.5% and Cheng Chew Giap with 2.6%.

Dr Jorg Helmut Hohnloser is the major shareholder of CP Asia.

Hohnloser is also a director of Frontken. He first bought into the company back in 2010 via CP Asia, and increased his stake up to its present 27.75%.

Hohnloser was a major shareholder of a European company called Cleanpart GmBH, which is the holding company of CP Asia. Cleanpart provides the same services as Frontken – maintaining of equipment in the semiconductor and other industries.

In the past, there has been much speculation and reports that Hohnloser was looking to strengthen his control in the company. This rumour has since died down.

In November last year, Hohnloser ceased to have an indirect interest in Frontken via his shareholdings in CP Asia as he had ceased to be a shareholder of Cleanpart.

On May 10, Hohnloser was redesignated to independent director from his previous position of non-independent director.

Meanwhile, the managing director and chairman of Frontken is Ng Wai Pin, who was appointed in 2012, when he took over from the company’s co-founder, Willy Wong Hua Choon.

Ng was redesignated to the new position from senior independent non-executive director previously. Ng has a direct stake of 0.52% or 5.5 million shares. On Aug 8, he bought 500,000 shares at 33 sen from the open market.

Ng is also chairman of Ares Green Technology Corp, Frontken’s 84.6% subsidiary.

Improving financials

Frontken is a provider of surface metamorphosis and mechanical engineering solutions, serving a wide-range of heavy industries such as oil and gas, power generation, semiconductors and marine.

The company also specialises in engineering services that include coating, machining and grinding, manufacturing and precision cleaning.

The company today employs some 1,000 employees across its engineering plants in the Asia-Pacific such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Taiwan.

Over the last three years, Frontken has switched its focus from heavy oil and gas-related services to higher margin semiconductor services. This has resulted in its improving results.

For its first quarter to March 31, 2017, the company made a net profit of RM5.02mil from a previous loss of RM1.24mil in the same period of the previous year. Revenue increased to RM67.06mil from RM58.79mil previously.

The better results were due to improved performance by the group’s subsidiaries in Taiwan and Singapore, largely due to the positive growth of...

Friends, not only Star paper lah. Most of Stock broking securities companies also release such news and write-up to instigate retailer investors to buy when they are selling for their BIG clients behind the scene. One typical example is the private placements when go listings.
