Why do MAA and KNM not take action on this Whistleblower report? Where are Bursa and SC? You can see that the report was made directly to them. I think it is important for voters to understand if Tunku Yaacob falsely misrepresented to the Auditors as the report claims. I have yet to see him deny the report.
Just because MCMC thinks the report does not comply with the rules of the Media does not make the report wrong or the whistle-blower report and disclosure wrong. The MAA Letter of Assurance in the report if presented to the Auditors or is even an authentic document as stated is defiantly in violation of Malaysian Law and it needs to be addressed.
So why does Tunku Yaacob who signed it not dispute the report and document?
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 5): A group of shareholders of KNM Group Bhd, led by new substantial shareholder German billionaire Andreas Heeschen, has initiated a hostile takeover in the loss-making and cash-strapped engineering group. Heeschen, who emerged as a shareholder of the Practice Note 17 (PN17) outfit with a 7.91% stake or 320 million shares last week, together with seven other shareholders have sought the removal of all nine directors in the company. KNM chairman Tunku Datuk Yaacob Khyra is also a substantial shareholder in the company, with a 9.44% indirect stake or 347.2 million shares held via Melewar Industrial Group Bhd….
birkincollector, german won’t giving up one, he still own 7.91 % stake in KNM Alex Chua, German group bought cheap cheap less than 10 cents then launch takeover, but he won’t sell any of his share one coz he is the one who organise the EGM to remove the existing not perform directors, if he already sold all his share, who is going to chair this coming EGM and he also know he will be guilty and against the Malaysia security law if he do so !
So, i think is the party of the existing board of directors who are knowing they already losing and will be removed from the board in this coming EGM so that they sold all their shares !
Without prejudice looking at KNM financial is depressing and in a dire straits. Total borrowing's of 2 billion without any substantial turn around plans. Borsig creditors have ring fenced their debts. any cash raised if Borsig is sold go towards their debt settlement first. Peterborough plant at UK needs fresh funds to start. The Thailand ethanol plant that was mothballed for the past 2 years need cash. KNM needs more than the 2 billion cash to settle their debt default plus another 1 billion to rejuvenate or start thier Thailand and UK projects. KNM has defaulted on their loans. Banks or any financial institutions will have second thoughts on KNM. Just my own view
A renowned people’s developer, LBS Bina Group Bhd shared its wish list for Budget 2024, which will be tabled in Parliament on Oct 13.
Following the conclusion of Malaysia's 15th general election and 2023 state elections, LBS is pleased that Malaysia has achieved political stability and is optimistic of a stronger economy in the upcoming months.
However, the property sector has encountered multifaceted challenges, with two prominent ones being rising interest rates and higher raw material prices.
With the Finance Ministry projecting a 4% - 5% growth rate for Malaysia's economy in 2023, LBS remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering affordable and quality housing to meet the nation's demands.
i have sold all my shares at cost. therefore i can't vote anymore. it's too much controversy. some love this kind of volatility. some don't like uncertainty. everyone is different. here's my take after exiting. honestly i think it's just about voting for the lesser evil.. like in politics. all this talk about MAA team is good is just deluded or simply their own people lobbying here. do u think TY really has the best interest for all shareholders? just take few minutes and look at MAA and Melewar Bhd. it's public listed company and hopefully you can derive your OWN conclusion. just take a break for while from KNM forum...and study briefly his other listed companies. the minorities suffer from the poor performance of the share price with no dividends while he took large salary and related party transaction. am i lobbying for german? no. I don't know him. not much info you can make your own informed decision (unlike MAA and Melewar, listed companies). i doubt he will have the best interest for all shareholders too. both are shrewd businessmen in their own way i guess.
my prediction is TY will win this proxy battle hands down. his war chest via MAA and Melewar is ample. also, he can just make few calls to few tycoons in Malaysia.
regardless, this kind of proxy battle is very rare occurrence in malaysia. it gives some spark to our dull and boring capital market. so "fun"/interesting to watch even after disposing the share. good luck guys!
Tunku Kamariah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah Binti Sultan Iskandar, also known as Tunku Kamariah, has made a public statement regarding KNM Group Berhad (KNM. Stock code: 7164), urging shareholders to participate in the upcoming extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on October 16. She says they must KNM to protect their voting rights and rescue KNM.
“The current board had their chances to fix KNM for the past 2 years. In fact, key employees have resigned from the company. If you are really transparent and willing to fight for the interest of customers, employees, creditors and shareholders, come and team up with the new proposed directors – forming a unity board or make way for us,” she challenges.
@MacDee34, thank you for sharing the article. Now, the opposing party is talking sense. That's the way it should be. YAM Tunku Kamariah's remarks are rightly to be welcomed, all shareholders should vote to reflect the fair battle, doesn't matter who wins, but it's done fairly. Not dumping shares, Be brave and face challenges, good for minority shareholders, good for the company. Whoever that's dumping shares shall think about the future of the company, not just playing margins.
I heard Tunku Yaacob’s interview. If he really believes will be worth 40c, why didn’t buy more when below 10c? Only when faced with hostile takeover did he up his game. He also said other party will bring company to 1c. Implying in a polite manner that the other party is hopeless. Please be gentlemanly and allow Tunku Kamariah’s party a chance to present their case so that shareholders can decide accordingly. Thank you.
Anything 10sen is a good buy....shall hold until after EGM, and possibly until the upcoming Borsig IPO in June/July 2024, which will shoot up KNM's prices up, is never to be seen below 10sen any more. Lagi best, get Borsig shares itself from SGX.
Most people especially the bilis, are now aware. The foreign taikohs have abandoned ship and ran off. They still asking bilis to stay around and vote. Adoi...
Anyway it's just few days away. They will find out soon enough.
Tomorrow will be another wave. The price will go down below 10sen. Just prepare your cutloss. More and more will dump their share. Can wait this afternoon or tomorrow to see who dump their share
It is clear from the official announcement that the seller dumping shares is the family members of the former CEO and founder of KNM, Gan Siew Lait, the wife of Lee Swee Eng.
Ignore the other false propagandists. KNM makes it clear who is selling in the announcements.
Heeschen now holds a 7.91% stake in KNM. Together with Mahmud’s 5.03% and those of eight other shareholders, Tunku Kamariah’s side now has control of 15.71% of the interests.
Negeri Sembilan prince Tunku Yaacob Khyra, who is chairman of KNM, is also the largest shareholder. He has a 9.5% indirect stake, according to the company’s local bourse filing dated Oct 6.
Coupled with MAA Group Bhd’s 8.55% stake, Tunku Yaacob’s interest in the company now amounts to 18.05%.
15.71% vs 18.05%
Which side would win? Place your bet.
Would scammer Kenneth Vun mafia conquer and turn to another penny stocks or otherwise.
Tengku Kamariah is not aware of sweet talker Flavio sheet going to surface anytime soon, due to police report lodged. She would be shocked.
Yesterday at the Borsig road show Q & A session, someone asked about Flavio matter. Ravi said they have gather enough evidence before lodging a police report.
Heeschen's plan to save KNM is to raise funding or loans from Europe. This plan is useless because,
(1) KNM's main company making profit is Borsig. And as explained by Mr Juergen, CEO of Borsig, at the road show yesterday, Borsig customers pay them a downpayment before starting any project. As they do production for the customers they can bill them progressively. So they don't need any loans.
(2) The other 3 subsidiaries are loss-making and the current management wants to sell them off because of that. Also don't need anymore credit.
(3) If Heeschen raise funds or capital they will be used to repay loans from existing creditors or banks. So, what is the point of borrowing money from Bank B to pay back Bank A? And Bank B's interest rate would be higher than Bank A. Worse still, Bank B (any bank in Europe) wouldn't want to lend money to KNM. Only Heeschen says they will.
If Heeschen say he can pump in capital himself since he is tycoon, then we clap hand say he is clever. Otherwise just talk about raising capital for KNM doesn't make sense.
Elsewhere, she also criticised certain irresponsible statements regarding KNM’s pricing/valuation at 40 sen/share, asserting that this does not align with the company’s net tangible assets (NTA) of 21 sen as reported in the latest quarterly report of KNM. “Such remarks were speculations, an attempt to influence investors,” she hit out.
Regarding the proposed listing of Borsig on the on main board of the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) by way of an IPO, Tunku Kamariah expressed doubts of the exercise given “certain percentage of revenue derived is from a country sanctioned by the Singapore government”.
“Furthermore, if pursued, this could potentially lead to KNM’s delisting as more than 75% of KNM’s revenue is currently from Borsig (chain listing),” she noted.
Tunku Kamariah also questioned the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the Explanatory Statement (ES) for KNM creditors dated Sept 26 as it should have been prepared by an independent advisor rather than done internally.

from all the news and stories going on somewhat in this forum
big question. why borrow loans from a high interest rate environment to pay off the existing loan? weird and not feasible. if borsig is really so good and profitable why does the german billionaire not take over knm privately? no money? plus why does he not put his money where his mouth say? at least Tengku yaacob buys extra shares with his own money. Where is this german acquiring more shares?
why isnt the johor side or the aspiring management buying any shares in knm as well? if borsig is good why not buy in? even as i read the german side promoters on the info they spew out are also not consistent and not correct. sounds very hasty
as a reader I see that the current management's news and stories and on the public news channels star edge are more in line and consistent.
things to ponder and consider
put your money where your mouth is. Action speaks louder than words
@signn, the company's fundamentals are correct as you say, 38sen.
Share prices in KNM have been pushed up and down for whatever reason it is, and this counter never handouts any dividends. All the annual reports mentioned dilutions of shares due to private placements over the past many years. With this in mind, volatility in share prices is uncalled for, seldom reflective of the company's true value.
@The Rock, the end-game isn't the KNM price, the end-game is Borsig listing and elimination of past debts for growth of the company. The volatility of share prices now are for garnering support, that's all.
When the moment the Borsig pre-IPO is in action, or IPO prospectus had been offcially issued, just watch the prices.
@purple70, howdy? Hope you had let go of your shares too. hahaha, meet you in Antarctica then. In your opinion, does KNM still stand a chance for survival despite all the ongoing at the counter and articles flying off everywhere? Does it affect its fundamentals?
If the ipo is successful and the 1bil debts hounding knm are repaid. The share price of knm will definately go up. How much up really depends on its valuation. Plus if they manage to sell even the so called thailand n uk assets even better. Remember this tunku yaacob has himself bought knm shares last time. About 86m at averqge 22c. Do u think he doesnt want his value to go up as well? 86m is a lot of money. I think knm will definqtely go up. Only needs time.
Sarawak businessman Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib has emerged as a substantial shareholder aligned to Johor princess Tunku Kamariah in her battle to replace the sitting board of directors.
On a side note, tge founders lee n wife are another big chunk of shares. Maybe 10%? I dun know. Do u think they want to see their value fall? They will need to decide who to support. I think will be tunku. Why? Who will not support those with concrete plans dei?
OtisKL - Not withstanding me still being in the money and having been in this chat grp long before you n in various other stocks, it isnt only value i look for , BUT Corporate Malaysia needs cleansing of characters like "TURNAROUND SPECIALIST RAVI" n "TY", hwos e primary goal is only to line up thei rpocket!
Cant understand why a ICAEW CA wants to work for a sinking Malaysian PN17 listed co?
Legally, one is still a shareholder if proof can be shown of their share holding at the EGM day - 16 Oct!. The cut off of ROD on 11th Oct is purely administrative!
