TY forced MAA to buy 91 million KNM shares at double the market price with an immediate loss of RM 7,280,000 because TY made a personal deal with his friend to help him win the KNM EGM? How can the MAA shareholders absorb a loss like this without shareholder approval? I thought this was a public company. Can we hold the Board personally liable for this loss? how can Bursa allow this? Where is the SC? T. YAACOB VIA MAA PURCHASE OF 2.25% STAKE IN KNM ON 8.02.2024 Ref. is made to the 2.25% KNM stake purchase at double market price by T. Yaacob, equivalent to 91,000,000 KNM shares. This off-market deal at 0.165sen/share follows the announced intention to deal within a closed period (announced on 6.02.2024) and was made on 8.02.2024 with MAA Berhad (TY) increasing its stake in KNM at the same price paid in October 2023 by Datuk Seri Mahmood Taib, who entered as significant shareholder with a 5.06% stake, later reduced below the threshold amount of 5%. T. Yaacob was committed to buying back all of DS Mahmood shares at the same price paid by the latter. This deal represents for MAA a loss of 0.080 per share [0.165sen less 0.085sen].
However during the AGM Q & A session, the minority shareholders would not enquire about the KNM share purchase at double its market price but would rather enquire whether MAA would consider giving free door gifts during the next AGM.
in the next AGM, shareholders should raise the question of risk management to safe guard company from expose to PN17 co by limiting the total investment or % of stake.
Badly managed resulting in losses and not taking care of the shareholders' interest. Shameful. The board of directors should resign immediately and allow a more capable team to manage the company.
Hippopotamuska, this expected to happen when they cannot privatize the company as some smart people blocked the deal. The only to eat the meat is to bite the meat slowly until it is gone. The same group of people cannot do anything now as they are not major shareholder. You can only watch the meat being beaten slowly and feel the pain
Is there any regulatory body in Malaysia that will look into this matter? Really shameful to allow it to happen. Who is looking after the corporate government of the public listed companies? Who is taking care of the minority shareholders' interest?
Following the sale of MAA Philippines, MAA now has a larger cash reserve, making it an attractive target for privatization and hostile takeover. Stay tuned!
20c/ shr in cash coming in & price can still drop to 38.5c....only in Malau-sia( or Malu-SIA) lol Luckily I've got six figures invested in Japan, which will in 2025 overtake the size of my local portfolio given the cheapness of the yen & the sales proceeds locally that I will funnel there.

Dripped more $ into MAA @ the 44.5c close...🤗 Pity those who chased @ 60c or higher & had to CUT, but if they chose to hold, they would be guaranteed to make $ within the next year at the very latest

Bought at 34 sen today
On the first trading day in January Kuchai went limit up and I sold off all at 1.62 netting over 30% gain, used the proceeds to buy 100,000 MAA shares at 34 to 35 sen.
I don't think MAA will declare any dividend as punishment to the minority shareholders for opposing the major shareholders attempt to privatize it at 1.10.
Bought more MAA @ 38.5c, going above 10,000 shrs for the 1st time since 2012!
Ten thousand shares? Yesterday I sold 24,000 shares , still have balance 97,100 shares.

I don't need to believe anyone who already has an HONESTY DEFICIT. I saw your post proclaiming your sale @ 39.5c b4 you DELETED it. Unlikely to be an honest mistake for such an allegedly large position(which is probably a lie to begin with) 😉
It has been five years since Tengku's first attempt to privatize MAA. Now, MAA has been released from PN17 status but may re-enter PN17 after the sale of MAA Philippines, a lower price compared to 2019, and increased cash reserves. I believe this is an opportune time to consider privatization once again.
@Cipta, ultimately MAA will be privatized but no one knows when. In the meantime minority shareholders continue to be punished by not getting any dividend.
Long ago before the privatization attempt MAA paid generous regular dividend plus occasional big special dividend. Things turn sore after the failed privatisation.
