Sorry for those losing money because believing in those news reported in papers.Some writers or so called analysts were paid to visit the plants or mines, treated to very lunch and dinner. Then write what owners tell them. Without any insider information, can only study their audited accounts and all their announcements. Just by doing these is enough to scare u away from touching this counter.
why must u still bear hopes with this lousey company;gas supply cut,electricity disconnected though the tan sri holds alot high posts in the community,he is a low quality businessman by virtual.
My Chinese friend translated above news for me: lost RM235M in 1Q2014 alone and RM650m in last 15 mths, negative shareholder fund of RM260m! no production already 1 year. Betul kah?
situation more serious than lioncor..lioncor at least still hold land properties around rm1 billion, which valued counted 20 years ago, consider under value right now. perwaja totally zero & owe alots of debt
For those investors still holding this company, what you need to watch is about the restart of operation of perwaja steel plant from May 2014 onwards. Pheng Yin Wah needs to start the operation after petronas and TNB agrees to reconnect electricity to the steel mills. This is the first challenge. You guys can actually ask your friends in Terengganu to see if Perwaja is operating again or not. If Perwaja is starting to operate and producing steel from its Terengganu plant, then it means there is hope. This is Challange number 1.
Challenge number 2: The cost of steel production has to be much lower now compared to months ago before it was being closed down. This is to make sure it actually can generate more profit/ reduce loss at lowest cost possible. If its cost of production is still as freaking high as compared to China, then the future is still no good. Ask your friend in Terengganu to watch if the plant is actively producing steels and if their inventory of steel is high or low now.
Challenge number 3: Ask your friends in Terengganu to watch if Perwaja's concentration and pelletising plant have been completed how many percentage? If this is still hanging in the air, then no hope. If this one is nearly completed or already completed, then perwaja can start this gradually. However, chance is that the concentration and pelletising plant is not running or already stop running or stop building or whatever. If the plants are operating, definitely they have to announce it on Bursa Malaysia. Easy way is to spend some money, buy airasia ticket, go to Terengganu to have a look yourself.
Challenge number 4: Only insiders know this. Rumours also can tell. Pheng Yin Wah keeps repeating that Perwaja is in the midst of finalising the debt restructuring exercise and no updates available until to date. Key word is Finalising, finalising and finalising....When they keep finalising and finalising, it means all creditors and debtors do not agree on the terms and conditions...Time is running out, by December they have to finalise something. If they still cannot finalise, that means possible BANKRUPTCY. Selling assets to bayar hutang. Close down shops.
Creditors and debtors,especially local banks such as RHB Bank, have to tolerate some negotiations in favour of perwaja. This is because if perwaja goes bankrupt, RHB will lose the money. THerefore I suspect Pheng Yin Wah and Perwaja is playing "Taichi" with all the creditors and debtors. Pheng Yin Wah will say," you guys need to give me benefits by cutting down interest of payment, deferment of payment, or else I bankrupt and close shop". They will delay, delay and delay until in the end no choice but to accept terms and conditions in favour of perwaja. In the meantime, whether perwaja lose more money or earn some money depends on its cost of production now and price of selling of steel. As of now, you see China steel imports are coming in crazily. All bought up by local construction and property companies because they want cheap steels. Perwaja has to compete. Will perwaja continue selling at a loss? Steel price lower and lower, but iron ore price is also lower and lower. Now China is stimulating construction again, iron ore price jumps up a bit, steel price continue going lower and lower. Lower and lower selling price until how much perwaja can untung?
Brothers, kawan aku di Kemaman pergi kilang Perwaja tanya security jaga pintu.TNB sudah potong bekalan letrik hari isnin sekali lagi kerana tak bayar bil. Gas dan air pun sudah potong. Aku susah nak percaya dan kawan karib aku ini sahkan betul. Apa ini?
Berita terakhir (kawan aku di Perwaja Kemaman): kilang tutup dan semua staf di minta balik rumah masing masing. Bayar RM450 sebulan tak kira pangkat staf. Tak ada harapan lagi!
