There are many sellers from 1.35 to 1.38, the stock price must cross 1.38 convincingly in order to stay bullish. The last quarter result was good. Thank you.
WTK ... child labour !! Should we all SELL SELL until respect is earned !!! Let's dump shares n I hv now Q to sell n what about u guys ??? Don't just talk n no action !!!
Despite the company's prospects, I have sold my shares already. To be blacklisted like that, and being only 1 of 5 companies blacklisted is bad news. Not child labour but on the basis of severe damage to the environment. This also means that their business model is not sustainable in the long run, i.e. depletion of natural resources due to lack of proper planning and controls.
Now realised how they made their profit which also made me along with other thousands innocently individual committed a sin , maybe we shall contribute the profit we made to a child charity ....... what say u guys !!! Let's stop this abuse NOW NOW
This news would not affect the company at all. The western country like to ban this and that on 'ethical ground' or what not, just like palm oil industry. No surprise.
Not necessary true ..... if no noise r made it will only encourage to continue to abuse n every little counts n thank god not everyone think like u , kai8994
We might not big enough to change the world but 4sure we can continue to shout out loud - Child Labour is abusive n un-acceptable , think if that child is someone u know !!!
Norway's government has told its $790 billion oil fund to sell holdings in five companies because of environmental concerns and placed several others - including Shell and Eni - on its observation list, the finance ministry said on Monday.
The fund, the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, is barred from investing in WTK Holdings Berhad, Ta Ann Holdings Berhad, Zijin Mining Group and Volcan Compania Minera because their activities pose a “risk of severe environmental damage,” it said in a statement.
im a child labour myself, used to work during school holidays even when i'm just a primary school kid for pocket money to buy my school uniform and books, it is easy for rich country to condemn child labour while they have a full stomach everyday...
"Norway has excluded five companies from the investments of the nation’s sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, for taking part in activities that damage the environment OR for being linked to child labour, Bloomberg reported."
Local timber firms WTK Holdings Bhd and Ta Ann Holdings Bhd were excluded alongside China’s Zijin Mining Group and Peru’s Volcan Cia Minera SAA.
This was done on the basis that their activities risk causing severe damage to the environment, Bloomberg said citing a statement by the Oslo-based ministry.
India’s Zuari Agro Chemicals Ltd was also excluded “based on an assessment of the risk of contributing to the worst forms of child labour,” it said.
From these writing, WTK TAANN - their activities risk causing severe damage to the environment Zuari Agro - contributing to child labour.
Lets see how WTK respond. If they are hiring child labour, they can be sued under our own labour law.
Based on AR 2012, Norway fund is not listed as top 30 shareholdings. I believe their investment is insignificant as WTK market cap is not large enuf to be invested by any of these large foreign funds.
where in the news you are not clear? WTK problem is "their activities risk causing severe damage to the environment" and it has nothing to do with child labour
There are so many sellers wanted to sell at 1.35 to 1.38, hence the price is very difficult to move until these sellers are absorbed. I am very disappointed with its performance even it is the best stock recommended in timber sector.
OTB, please provide us the chart analysis . what the new support now? will it fall back RM1.15 or below? tq. appreciation on your superb contribution and advise. tq
