To those who have called SC for meeting, could you kindly be around this website between 8:00 and 9:00 pm this evening to discuss our meeting with SC? SC has called me on concern too many have called and asked us to form a committee of not more than 5 before meeting them. Anyway, looking forward to hearing from you guys later 8:00 and 9:00 pm Malaysia time.

Anyone here ready to discuss about the meeting with SC? In particular, may I know how many here have called and told SC that they would like to attend the Feb 14 meeting? I was told by SC that too many have called to meet. Intriguingly though, I have not seen so many here saying they would like to meet. Wonder why?

cheoky, SC called me to cancel, and asked me to form a committee with all those called so no more than 5 attend the meeting. Unfortunately, I have yet to know who else called SC wanting to attend the meeting. Sigh! Think I will call SC up Monday (the person in charge is not available today) to make sure the meeting will still be held on Tuesday.

I have presented some materials to SC October 2016. However, I have yet to see SC act. Meanwhile, with the revealed TRIPLC deal, I can't say how angry and frustrated I am, especially when no action from SC yet.

rMoi, this reply is useless. Once the TRIPLC deal is completed, nothing can be done already. Furthermore, with independent investment bank advising minority shareholders to take below net asset offer price at heavy discount to net asset due to non-performing share price, I am worried that will happen to Puncak too. So long Rozali is buying asset at premium and later offer to take Puncak private citing non-performing share price as reason, that would be like slapping minority shareholders of Puncak after using us as disposal diapers!

rMoi, SC has asked to call off the meeting, citing too many wanting to meet. That's why I want to know who have called saying they would like to meet. This is intriguing, given less than 5 here saying wanting to meet SC. Thought you are one of those wanting to meet earlier.

Frankly, with my presented information, I was wondering why is it taking so long for SC even to offer help to minority shareholders?!? Puncak is really taking its minority shareholders like disposable diapers that have been used and 'experts', particularly those from CIMB, fooling us yet no action taken against them.

valour, let me check with SC Monday. If there's no more than 5 indicating a desire to meet, I want to make sure SC will meet us Tuesday. I am from Penang, and I have planned up my trip particularly for this purpose. Even if its more than 5, I will propose to let us meet at SC office to decide who will meet with SC's staff on Puncak matter after we have chatted among ourselves. There's no venue for us to meet or decide any further action.

That is why....

Step 1... citing abuse by major shareholder... get SC to assist to block the TRplc RPT..

Step 2... citing abuse has been attempted... move to have a sort of like a no confidence vote to censure rosxli

Step 3... citing no confidence on BOD.. move to have a capital repayment or special divvy

(1) purchase of LV3 investment to hide the fact that its already a PN 16 company.
(2) the plantation deal is expensive compared to a recent deal from the seller, not to mention that this deal won't go through (not profitable or sufficient for a PN 16 company of Puncak size) if Puncak is a PN 16 company.
(3) TRIPLC deal that's clearly expensive.
(4) Most importantly, with each announced deal, Puncak share price has nowhere to go but now.

If BOD is so confident with their deals, its more than enough to require them to offer an option out if they don't want to participate with the new corporate ventures!

rMoi, I would rather having SC agreeing to make sure a capital repayment option of at least 2.50 per share for minority shareholders when TRIPLC deal is presented for voting. I want out as soon as I can and I don't want someone telling me to just sell in the open market. It would be like Selangor state government asking Rozali to sell his shares in open market when denying the water tariff increase or forcing through the acquisition. Selangor government didn't do that, so minority shareholders shouldn't agree to selling shares in market when the cash per share is 2.50 while net asset is 3.41 and market price ONLY 1.02. Just because Rozali is majority shareholder, he can't just treated us like used disposable diapers!

ks55 if you have something you are willing to share, appreciated. Otherwise, I know only one thing, if I don't seek to meet SC and SC not willing to act, it doesn't matter what legal advice I seek. And losing my money due to some garbage deals is worse than losing face trying to learn my right. So, in a way, thank you but no thanks...

ks55, that's 2007, to defend minority shareholders right, SC has been more vocal of late. Puncak has a cash per share of 2.50 while net asset of 3.41 per share. Why's it unfair to offer minority shareholders letting go of their shares? Furthermore, what I am requesting is not to vote if to offer 2.50 capital repayment. What I am requesting is to offer minority shareholders an option to surrendering their share in exchange for 2.50 if they are not keen to the proposed deal. That is, offer an option to minority shareholders, if want to stay, agree to the deal, if don't want to stay, take 2.50 per share and leave.

I think you are assuming that I am asking for a capital repayment of 2.50 per share to every shareholder? NO, I am only asking Puncak BOD to offer shareholders not agreeing to the TRIPLC and plantation deal to GO, surrendering share in exchange for 2.50 per share. Plain and simple, not some crazy request.

Puncak's majority shareholder is Rozali with over 40+% shareholding, following by LTH's 10+%. Rozali can't vote in the TRIPLC deal, so LTH's vote is crucial, its holding means it has a hefty 15-20% right to vote. Still, its useless, given so many shareholders without the presence of EPF or other big funds.

Even with minority shareholders successfully voting out the TRIPLC deal, Rozali can easily come up with another, like the plantation deal that requires NO voting by owning 60% of a 60% company at hefty premium. He can then later buying up the rest with Puncak's money without having to go through any voting.

ks55, to your knowledge, I have met with SC once and have communicated with them a couple of times through phone. Whether SC can eventually help or not, I don't know. One thing for sure though, SC is friendly (even if they are merely pretending to avoid being called corporate-friendly) and trying their best to inform us what they can and can't. Plus, seeking professional help they way you are suggesting is costly, lengthy in process and not something I can afford to do alone. The whole process may end of useless if Puncak's fund has been fully utilized during the process. I personally don't believe Rozali is honorable, given what I have seen so far, A 100% wrong reading on character this time round.

ks55 Quite frankly, I have read a few annual reports before investing in this company. It has a history of paying dividend until it struggled to raise tariff with a change of state government. That's has led me to believe in Rozali not being a piece of shit but somewhat reasonable. I bought at a cost of 1.80 and bought more all the way down to .90 to make sure my cost of investment after financing cost will remain at or below 1.80. When I sensed something not right, its when the first quarter report of 2016 and I have approached Rozali during the AGM hoping he being sensible and allocate RM 200 million for share buy back to at least assuage shareholder concern money being squandered. The share price is already around 1.20 and too late to exit.

I have been holding Puncak throughout 2015 primarily believing in the water deal will be completed, holding on in 2016 in the first quarter thinking that Rozali could have been misunderstood, 2nd quarter worrying that I might have misread Rozali's character, particularly after attending AGM and seeing no action. By 3rd quarter, frankly, nothing could be done already. I can only hope that, with 2.50 cash per share and 3.41 net asset in Puncak's balance sheet, there's something SC can do for minority shareholders. I have approached LTH, seeking their participation to correct what's went wrong. While having concern over the plantation deal, LTH is not keen to seek further action, preferring to approach independent director for better clarification. In a way, LTH is investing on behalf of others, it would be tarnishing their reputation if they were found not exiting a company that's fraudulent, I guess, and that's led them to take different approach. I guess, they will sell when they can materialize a profitable venture unless they can keep Puncak investment in their book as long term investment with no impairment.

quite frankly, if Puncak board has presented deals or quarter reports that too hard to read like BJCorp's, I would have not complained. With little businesses left, quarter reports are easier to read. With level 3 investment that's so clear to mainly used to cover up PN 16 classification is plainly assuming minority shareholders could be set aside. Plantation deal that can be compared and shown to be expensive has assumed BOD can do however they like. TRIPLC deal assumes they are so powerful that they are untouchable. I guess that's really anger me and hope to slap them with legal actions. Unfortunately, I am just a small investor with little resources. That's why I have decided to seek SC assistance. Frankly, should this fail, I will personally write a letter to second Finance Minister, Datuk Johari, and seek his assistance. His appearance in the public has been rather positive and shown his willingness to right what's wrong.

ks55 thanks for the advice. I have only added Puncak to make sure my average cost after including financing cost is around 1.80, and moved the rest to buy BJCorp. Frankly, BJCorp is not really a good choice for value investing. I have chosen it primarily because of improving balance sheet with a potential in Vietnam Toto while its share price has been ignored for the past few years.

chonghai haha... indeed, I'm shaky now, not used to own so many high risk stocks... Primarily never thought Puncak to be one, given its net cash position. I have actually chosen this stock as my ride against the commodity cycle. I have forecasted correctly the commodity cycle during the 2nd half of 2015 but failed to realize Puncak is a con-stock... (I have initially invested in a basket of MNRB, Oriental, Hwang Capital and Puncak when I believed there's a commodity down cycle then. Sigh!)
