KUALA LUMPUR (July 17): Four industry leaders today inked a certificate of collaboration (CoC) with the Ministry of Education to upgrade technical and vocational education and training (TVET).
The four collaborating companies are Berjaya Corporation Bhd, Tropicana Corporation Bhd, Naza Group and Top Glove Corporation Bhd.
The collaboration would emphasise the provision of training, facilities, workshops, career opportunities and networks for TVET students.
Berjaya Corp chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tan Yeong Ching said the group views the collaboration as a smart partnership that would provide a platform to the students of various institutions to obtain real work experience and career opportunities.
“Expanding smart partnerships such as through this collaboration should help to ensure the sharing of industry knowledge and practices, facilities and technology, with the intention to upscale and innovate technical and vocational students,” he said in his welcoming remarks at the CoC signing ceremony here today.
Meanwhile, Minister of Education, Dr Maszlee Malik, said TVET is important in alleviating the mismatch in supply and demand of skills, future-proofing of students towards the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) and increasing graduate employability.
“However, greater national efforts are needed to increase TVET enrolment and accelerate the upskilling of local talent, which calls for stronger collaborations and partnerships with industry leaders.
“This CoC represents a large step that the public and private sectors are undertaking to take TVET to the next level. The ministry is committed to establishing many more ground-breaking partnerships, not just for TVET, but also to improve the overall education ecosystem of the country,” he said in his opening address.
Maszlee said he is also in talks with key companies across all economic sectors, noting that four oil and gas companies from Johor and Perak, as well as several financial and banking institutions have committed to working with the ministry. — Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: Real estate and hospitality investor group Mulpha International Bhd is disposing of its Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns in Cairns, Australia to JY Cairns Esplanade Hotel Pty Ltd for A$65 million (RM187.5 million) cash. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Mulpha said the 31-year-old property is a four-star hotel with 242 guest rooms, occupying 7,444 sq m. As at Dec 31, 2018, the audited net book value of the property stood at A$35.8 million. Mulpha said the property was acquired on Dec 20, 2016 and its original cost of investment including incidental costs was A$42.3 million. Based on the sale price of the property, the proposed disposal is expected to result in a net gain after tax of A$14.9 million after deducting the performance obligation, agency commission, legal and all incidental costs. Mulpha said the proposed disposal will enable it to unlock the value of the property and generate cash for the group. Mulpha plans to utilise the A$64 million for repayment of bank borrowings, performance guarantees and capital expenditure reimbursement, as well as working capital requirements. Barring any unforeseen circumstances the proposed disposal is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2019. Shares in Mulpha yesterday closed down three sen or 1.38% at RM2.14 with a market capitalisation of RM683.66 million.
shareholders tak bagi privatization of maa. how about bjland ? bagikah? :)
TUNKU Datuk Yaacob Khyra, executive chairman of MAA Group Bhd, was in high spirits when he met The Edge a few weeks ago. He seemed relaxed and was his usual extroverted self. This was despite MAA’s minority shareholders shooting down in end-May a RM1.10 selective capital repayment (SCR) exercise mooted by Yaacob in a bid to take MAA private. Yaacob, via the Melewar group, controls 38.67% of MAA. “I knew it was 50:50, I knew people would ask me for more [money], there were quite a number of green mailers, but we had already decided we were not going to entertain green mailers. We did this to tell the shareholders that we are prepared for this company to get delisted, but they said they wanted more [than RM1.10 per share]. The question is, how long is the piece of string? “I decided this is the amount I am prepared to pay. Maybe I should have paid more, maybe I should have paid less, but I’m not into this, I’m not a bargainer. I just made an offer. If you don’t like it, fine. I don’t care if it (MAA) gets delisted, I’m going to proceed doing what I want to do, I’m going to do what I think is right. We are in this situation now where the entrepreneur wants to do something, the regulators are saying no, and I gave the shareholders a chance to exit, they decided to ride with me and the management
Tan believes that if Icelandair has the will to do so, there would be opportunity in offering direct flights between Iceland and Asia. He doesn’t rule out investments in Iceland outside the hotel business.

Wat other investment?
The Casino de Monte-Carlo is owned and operated by the Société des bains de mer de Monaco, a public company in which the Monaco government and the ruling royal family have a majority interest. The company also owns the principal hotels, sports clubs with jackpot machines, foodservice establishments, and nightclubs throughout Monaco.
As part of Icelandair hotels acquisition. Could VT be negotiating with for a new Casino de Monti-Carlo franchise/collaboration in Iceland as VT met Prince Albert of Monaco last week for biz discussions?.
Don't talk talk only, sounds grand! Last time, I also believe bjcorp/ bjland jeju hotel, China mall, Vietnam vettlot, hotels, property, banking bussiness. Looking fine and secured, but see the market price.
This is an Episod of The big stone kills crap......question is whose rocks or stones that keep falling on these craps.....lucky craps are singing like bird on top of fallen rocks while unlucky craps were in bloody pieces... hehehe....
Lol...Ever wondered the discount factor for both BJLand & BJCorp remained the same whatever the price? Also wondered why some people here is discouraging people to buy? as its actually its expensive to press down the price in the long run when still got buyers other than VT leading to leakages?
Let us repeat on how Uncle Tan & family sets it up..First..
< He’ll “shake out” the little guys by forcing the stock lower in order to get a better price..
< By keeping the stock low and depressed, he discourages other people from buying it and induces more short selling by day traders. He may with associates, by various means, spread bearish reports on the stock. All this helps him to buy. When he is thus buying and selling to accumulate..
< Using this method, Uncle Tan & associates will accumulate a large enough position to effectively remove almost ALL would-be sellers from the market. (Now mostly left long term & value investors so only buy if u don't need the extra cash from 6 months to a year)
< The stock is prepared for the ‘mark-up.’ It is ready to go up as soon as he is willing to allow it, when the good news he is expecting in the coming months to 2020 or,
< VT will spring a privatisation offer for the balance of 15% minority shares that he doesn't own when u least expect it?
Anyway when want to sell at 15 sens or better 5 sens? as waiting for it until neck long already???
0.17 is very cheap, like rubbish stock price .... VT might consolidate it from 10 to 1 .... becomes 1.70, then, even drops to 1.00, don't look like rubbish stock .....
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
