RJ87, What the CEO Goh meant was that dont use up too much money for dividend . MFCB need to prepare for the future and expand before the current Don Sahong expire in 24 years time .New power plant need a lot of cash . RE will still be the main focus . Both Solar power plants or Hydro Electric power plants needs big capital . However , he said MFCB will continue to pay dividend consistently but at 20 to 30 % of earnings .
Pjseow solidddd webinar. Kudos to Rondy n max for the arrangement n good moderation. This is a stock u invest for life. GNK is like the new robert kuok, the new Quek Leng Chan - genius asset allocator. First time see him in public. Never feel more secure in an investment ^^
ruby20 , yes . GNK is a great businessman who believe in talent investment. The last I met him was year 2000 when I had dealing with him on LED business. I also met KC Tay and Lau of D & O. At that time , GNK and Tay were just starting to build a LED team which comprises manager and enginners who came mainly from Infineon Melaka when these peoples refused to relocate from Melaka to Penang after OSRAM acquired the LED business from Infineon. Never.know that D&O has grow leap and bound in the last one year. Its share price had also.grown many X within a year. GNK has great foresight and great.wisdom. His hairs.also drop a lot since I last met him.haha
Hi, has anyone attended the AGM? Isn't it Mr Chairman GNK got mentioned to plan for MFCB to venture into the tech sector, and the plan still in the idea stage, it hasn't presented to the board yet? Has anyone also listened to that? Or i misunderstanding what he means? :) Tq.
Bonus issue required to capitalised the retained earning but Share split will not capitalised - hence the retained earning can use for future dividend and also money for expansion (instead of the need for RI)
IMHO GNK. Seems more comfortable and candid during virtual meetings than physical AGMs where he came across as reserved. Also I liked he shared the spotlight with those around him
All people on this counter like seating on VIP lounge watching outside fighting... This company don't bother for FMCO what so ever, because its business was abroad. Oh, share split coming, so everyone can get it cheaper after split.
Who attended EGM can you confirm GNK is planning to use 200m every year from recurring 400m cashflow from Don Sahong to invest in new businesses which starts with Stenta buy and a IT manufacturing outfit similar to Pentamaster
steady31, I think the moderator in.the web briefing did ask GNK whether MFCB will acquire technological company like penta. His answer is more like he prefer to invest in talents rather than company. Just gather a team with a group good engineers and start from there. D&O was built 20 years ago with this manner. Do not need to pay big sum of money.
Thank you pjseow. GNK is a visionary entreprenuer, already thinking ahead what value adding business can he build with the yearly substantial cashflow that is coming in from the power business.The other priority is how to expand the PE multiple for MFCB and adding new busiinesses is one of the ways to break out of the low PER for energy stocks
MFCB and Mynews? So obvious you are following a Facebook guru's advice lol. Malaysian investors if you look at their comment, they are always following the same set of stocks. Syndicate? The penny traders group together, and the ones who follow Facebook gurus also group together. They buy and sell the same stocks. Really hilarious
MFCB is by far my largest big-cap holdings this quarter.
"Further out, the big uncertainty is how fast economies will decarbonize. The quicker it happens, the greater the risk of write-downs for companies that continue to drill, and the better the chances that low-carbon bets pay off. “The energy system of the next two to three decades will be the most diverse in history. All the numbers are fluid,” says Oswald Clint, an analyst at Bernstein.
Rapid declines in carbon emissions would reward the oil and gas producers trying to lead the transition, such as Shell, which has invested in renewable power, biofuels, carbon capture and hydrogen. Based on various aggressive scenarios for global carbon reductions, Mr. Clint estimates that Shell could be worth between 20% and 58% more.
As shareholders push public oil giants to reconsider big new fossil fuel projects, national oil producers have an opportunity. Depending on the pace of decarbonization, it might be golden or just a mirage." WSJ
In their hunger for market share, China’s bitcoin miners took advantage of an underregulated and overbuilt electricity-generating sector. They set up mining operations adjacent to hydropower producers in the mountainous Sichuan and Yunnan provinces where turbines churn snowmelt and seasonal downpours into electricity. When river flows eased each winter, miners packed their computers and headed north to coal-rich Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.
Chinese bitcoin-production operations aren’t as dirty as actual mines, but one consultant notes that they don’t resemble the ultra-hygienic space-age environments of science fiction, either: ‘In the movies they are more clean and presentable.’ PHOTO: PAUL RATJE/THE WASHINGTON POST/GETTY IMAGES Mining operations in China, sometimes tens of thousands of computers wired together solving complex computational puzzles, gorge on electricity. The bitcoin industry alone is on track to rank among China’s 10 biggest power users, alongside sectors like steelmaking and cement production, according to a peer-reviewed paper published in April by Britain’s Nature Communications. That would make China’s bitcoin producers bigger consumers of energy than the entire nation of Italy.
That ravenous appetite has put bitcoin mining in conflict with Beijing’s political priorities. President Xi Jinping is determined to recast China as a climate champion and has set ambitious goals to reduce coal use. Beijing is also about to launch a national digital currency, controlled by the central bank and designed to counter cryptocurrencies. WSJ
None of this means the world will run out of bitcoin. Instead, mining is likely to slow in China and accelerate elsewhere. Miners in other nations had already cut into China’s production dominance in the past 18 months or so, according to University of Cambridge figures, which estimated the U.S. share has been growing and accounted for around 7% last year.

What does u all think of Pekat IPO? MFCB jv pekat for solar project. Also was looking at Jaks. But can't really understand the way management is running the business.... Macam never take care of shareholders. Appreciate any constructive and enlightening comments and views.
I'm not comparing jaks with MFCB. I'm looking into its future 20+ years income from coal plant. However the management really doesn't give me confidence... Somehow I felt its quite similar to those pennies syndicate... Keep PP, PP, PP.. Indirectly telling us the business is not sustainable... Haha
