Prospect is dim, mco is just a convenient excuse. Industry landscape changed, other then certain strategic locations where no other players exist, it can survive. The rest are facing competition where it has no advantages at all.
Type Announcement Subject SUSPENSION OF SECURITIES Description REQUEST FOR SUSPENSION The Board of Directors of Mynews Holdings Bhd.

If its a strategic partnership with a jp or Korean Co the price could move past 1. 20 fast. There were parties eying mynews if they had 1000+ stores and even could be valued higher if there is more reach.
Don't forget if my DIY can be valued so high... My news can't be worth RM 1.50?
Dunno whether you guys hv noticed that KWAP had kept selling until ceased to be substl shareholder while EPF hv kept mopping up shares since March (I only checked as far back as Mar) w/o even selling once

MYNEWS HOLDINGS BHD TO DEVELOP AND OPERATE SOUTH KOREAN CU CONVENIENCE STORES IN MALAYSIA The Board of Directors of MYNEWS ("Board") wishes to announce that the Company via its wholly owned subsidiary, MYCU Retail Sdn Bhd (formerly known as Eemerge Incorporated Sdn Bhd)(628407-U)(“MYCU Retail”), has on 12 October 2020, executed the licensing agreement(“Licensing”) with BGF Retail Co., Ltd (“BGF”), South Korea’s biggest convenience store operator and owner of the popular convenience store brand CU.
BGF founded and established the “Korean Style Convenience Store” model that fits the domestic consumption patterns in 2012 and has continued innovations to enhance the quality of customers’ living by bringing new and pleasant experience to customers through the products and services customised to consumers’ lifestyle. Thus, the brand CU representing CVS for U.
CU, one of the leading convenience store brands with more than 15,000 stores in South Korea is expected to be opened in Malaysia in early 2021.
The salient points of Licensing are as follows:
Ten (10) years with an additional renewal term of ten (10) years To operate and sub-franchise CU outlets in Malaysia By adding CU to our existing retail brands namely, MYNEWS, WH Smith and MYNEWS SuperValue, we are offering Malaysians a new choice and shopping experience from South Korea, which is in line with our core business and passion in retail convenience. The addition of CU will open up new growth opportunities and enhance our capability to meet consumers’ demand. It will also increase the utilisation of our large scale food processing centre as CU is a popular destination for its fresh food offerings.
There are too many hypermarkets actually. And they will dwindle down in size (sales-per-squarefeet margins). Personally I prefer to buy stuff fr convenience stores due to, well, convenience. I’m not the type to that says “That store sells at RM1. The other store sells at RM0.99” :)
Would be better to convert existing mynews than to invest all over again for another 500 new CU outlets. Mynews losing due to less cigarette ( people move to vape) and nobody buy magazines anymore. Others profuct margin not so lucrative. Should focus on fresh food .
The best thing about this is that the Food Processing unit now will be fully utilised. The existing Mynews business can then be revalued at RM1.20, plus new CU business up to you to assign own value lor
This means myNEWS have to pump in money for 3 to 4 years before they see a profit. so, dont expect them to report good earnings for the next 3 to 4 years, that is if they are able to make CU work in Malaysia.
