Mindef lost over RM500m

Reports will be filed with the police and MACC on the matter — minister
KUALA LUMPUR: The ministry of
defence (Mindef ) is set to file re-

sian Anti-Corruption Commission
(MACC) over the alleged leakage

BY ANISAH SHUKRY
& ANUR ADHA RAG HU
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is
making progress in talks with
China to revive a high-speed rail
project that Prime Minister Tun
Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s gov-
ernment said it would cancel,
according to Foreign Minister
Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.
China is willing to reduce
the RM81 billion price tag for
the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL)
project and talks are “in the last
mile”, Saifuddin said in an inter-
view yesterday at his office near
here. Discussions have been led

BY DAVID HENRY & ROBERT WILLIAMS
FRANKFURT/PARIS: Karl Lagerfeld
(pic), the German fashion designer
who helped set the industry stand-
ard for five decades with collections
that dressed celebrities such as Prin-
cess Diana and actress Keira Knight-
ley, has died. He was 85 years old.
The creative director at close-
ly-held Chanel for over 35 years,
Lagerfeld was among the fashion
trade’s most prolific couturiers, pro-
ducing outfits for the Paris-based
luxury goods maker, for Italy’s Fendi
SpA and for his own label — all at
the same time.
Recognisable for his high-col-
lared shirts, white ponytail, dark
sunglasses and black fingerless
gloves, Lagerfeld had a client list
that featured stars of the stage and
screen, including actresses Nicole
Kidman and Cate Blanchett and the
singer Pharrell Williams.
Lagerfeld “was ahead of his
procurement, governance and fi-
nance, chaired by Tan Sri Ambrin
Buang.
The report was also tabled and
accepted at the cabinet meeting
on Feb 13.
He said the committee’s find-
ings, tabled on Jan 28, revealed 16
land swap projects involving 1,286
hectares of Mindef’s land worth
RM4.756 billion, and development
costs of RM4.886 billion.

“It is not cancelled until and un-
less we can’t settle on the numbers,”
Saifuddin said. “China understands
our constraints and they’re willing
to scale down the size of the pro-
ject and the cost. The discussion is
probably in the last mile.”
Since returning to power last
May, Dr Mahathir has tested Malay-
sia’s relations with China. Besides
the railway, he has also cancelled a
gas pipeline project backed by Chi-
na, criticised foreign ownership in
a housing development marketed
to Chinese investors, and warned
against “a new version of colonial-
ism” on a trip to Beijing.

also found the estimated loss or
leakage of government funds dur-
ing the implementation of the land
swap projects was over RM500 mil-
lion. The ministry was informed
that a majority of the land swap
projects were not carefully planned,
and the complete due diligence
over the selection of the develop-

said in a statement.
Mohamad added that there was
also political interference in the

public opinion and whether such
an atmosphere will affect invest-
ment in the country”.
There are recent signs that Ma-
laysia wants to ease tensions with
China.
Dr Mahathir struck a conciliato-
ry tone last month, saying the gov-
ernment cancelled the rail project
only due to cost, leading to renewed
talks. Also, members of his cabinet
have declined to confirm or deny

for the collections “so that the leg-

Lagerfeld can live on.”
The fashion guru, who earned
the nickname “Kaiser Karl” for an
uncompromising approach to his
work, joined Chanel in 1983, more
than a decade after the death of
founder Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel.
He set about reviving the French
maker of perfume and accessories
with a modern look on its ready-to-
wear lines, helping it become one
of the industry’s most successful
companies.

Muhyiddin: Ng
to face charges
in Malaysian
courts first
PUTRAJAYA: The extradition of
former Goldman Sachs manag-
ing director, Roger Ng, to the US
will only be carried out after his
cases in the Malaysian courts are
completed, said Home Minister
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Muhyiddin said this was the
advice of Attorney-General Tom-
my Thomas to him via an official
letter a few days ago informing
that Ng has to face charges in
Malaysia next month.
“So it is likely that Ng’s extra-
dition will have to be postponed
because priority is on his cases in
Malaysia,” he said when asked to
comment on Ng’s extradition after
the 47th anniversary celebration
of the Malaysian Volunteer Corps
Department at his ministry here
yesterday.
On Feb 15, Ng, whose full name
is Ng Chong Hwa, 47, reportedly
agreed to be extradited to the US to
face three criminal charges relating
to 1Malaysia Development Bhd.
Judge MM Edwin Paramjothy
allowed the application by Ng as
the respondent, when the case
was mentioned at the Kuala Lum-
pur Sessions Court.
During the proceedings, Ng’s
counsel Datuk Tan Hock Chuan
informed that his client had
agreed to be extradited to the
US within 30 days as he was ready
to face the charges which would
be heard in a court in New York.
Ng was detained on Nov 1 last
year based on a warrant of arrest
applied by the US government
and was ordered to undergo a
60-day remand for the extradition
proceedings after he was faced
with three charges in a court in
New York.
In November last year, the man
was charged in absentia in a court
in the US together with former
Goldman Sachs executive, Tim
Leissner and fugitive business-
man Low Taek Jho. — Bernama

Zuraida: One million homes
possible, not a populist promise
The Pakatan government is committed to realising the target
KUALA LUMPUR: The govern-
ment’s goal of building one
million affordable and low-cost
houses within 10 years is a real-
istic plan and not just a populist
promise, said Housing and Local
Government Minister Zuraida
Kamaruddin.
She said the Pakatan Harapan
government was committed to
realising the target, something
that the previous government
had failed to implement.
“I do not know about Gera-
kan (Parti Gerakan Rakyat Ma-
laysia), I think they were part of
the previous government for 60
years, if in 60 years they could
not do it … they cannot just say
that we (Pakatan) will not be able
to do it,” she told reporters after
the closing ceremony of the Ma-

Falling commodity prices, construction jobs drag wage growth
BY S AM A N T HA H O
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s inau-
gural National Wage Index (NWI),
launched yesterday, shows that
total wages grew 9.2% in Malay-
sia between September 2016 and
June 2018.
However, the pace of this growth
has been on a downward trend year-
on-year (y-o-y), the data showed.
“[This was] due to falling com-
modity prices and a decline in con-
struction [projects],” said Lee Chee
Sung, adviser to the Institute of
Labour Market Information and
Analysis (ILMIA), which compiled
the index.
Sector-specific data on total
wage growth confirms this trend.
In the quarter ended December
2017, the plantations sector was the
only sector to record an absolute
decline in total salaries. Wages were
down 6.2% y-o-y, the data shows.
Crude palm oil futures declined to
a three-month low of RM1,966 per
tonne in November 2017.
The NWI, which has so far com-
piled data for six consecutive quar-
ters up to June 2018, is expected to
be used as a benchmark by employ-
ers and workers to assess their sal-
ary increments and market value,
cost houses within 10 years, was
another bluff and a populist prom-
ise to remain in power.
Meanwhile, Zuraida said the
ministry presented location pro-
posals nationwide to build 100,000
affordable and low-cost houses
this year at a meeting with the Na-
tional Affordable Housing Council,
chaired by Prime Minister Tun Dr
Mahathir Mohamad.
“For this year, everything is there
... there are proposals for sever-
al states including Pahang and
Penang,” she said.
“That also includes some de-
velopment in urban areas, the de-
velopment of parcels of land areas
where there is strong infrastruc-
ture and good transport system,
these areas of land will then be
used [to build houses],” she said.

‘Quicker approvals for developers
who use standardised IBS models’
BY AHM AD NAQI B I DRI S
KUALA LUMPUR: The housing
and local government ministry
and works ministry have come
up with several models of indus-
trialised building system (IBS)
homes that, if used by developers
in constructing affordable homes,
will result in quicker project ap-
provals.
The move is to encourage
greater adoption of the construc-
tion system.
Housing and Local Govern-
ment Minister Zuraida Kamarud-
din said the usage of IBS currently
is optional, but the government
has been promoting it as the
construction system will result
in lower overall costs and faster
completion time.
“The housing [and local gov-
ernment] and works ministries
have come up with two or three
models that developers may
choose from. When the devel-
opers use these standardised

The NWI, to be published by
ILMIA on a quarterly basis, dis-
tinguishes between the basic wage
rate and total wages, the latter of
which include allowances, bonus,
incentives and overtime payments.
The NWI’s data so far showed
that basic wages have a much stead-

wages, with growth of between 4.6%

models, the process of get-
ting approvals from the local
government will be faster as
the ministry will do a blanket
application.
“This will make it easier for
the developers as they would
not have to go through the
hassle of getting the approvals
from the local governments,"
she told the press on the side-
lines of the Malaysia Urban
Forum yesterday.
She added that these units
can be applied for the de-
velopment of houses in the
RM300,000 and below price
range.
Asked if the use of IBS will
be made mandatory for private
sector projects, she said it can-
not be done too drastically as
developers will need some time
to adjust, adding that the man-
datory requirement for IBS will
be done in phases. However,
she did not provide any specific
timeline.
Employers urged to hire people
above 60
Separately, the government has
to hire or retain employees that
are above the retirement age of
60, saying that their experience
and talent should not go to waste
“I’ve already told my agencies
to retain and give more flexibility
60 who want to continue working,”
Kulasegaran told reporters after
the launch.
He acknowledged criticisms
concerning the high youth unem-
ployment rate, but said that there
must be a “balance” between fresh
graduates and experienced workers
within an organisation.
“ILMIA’s research shows that
we can give those over 60 more
[employment opportunities],” Ku-
lasegaran said.
He also said the government
would focus on increasing the par-
ticipation of women and disabled
persons in the workforce, adding
there is a need to find a “win-win”
situation to encourage employers to
increase the employment of wom-
en, including homemakers.
KPJ 4Q profit
down; company’s
full-year revenue
hits record high
BY A DA M A Z IZ
KUALA LUMPUR: KPJ Healthcare
Bhd posted a net profit of RM53.32
million in the fourth quarter ended
Dec 31, 2018 (4QFY18), down 12.47%
from RM60.92 million in the same
quarter last year, due to a higher
effective tax rate and losses from its
discontinued Australian operations.
Earnings per share fell to 1.28
sen from 1.4 sen, the healthcare
group said in a filing yesterday.
The decline was despite quarterly
revenue rising 3.55% to RM863.35
million, from RM833.73 million
previously, mostly helped by bet-
ter contribution from the group’s
Malaysian operations which made
up over 95% of revenue.
For the full year ended Dec
31, 2018 (FY18), KPJ’s net profit
rose 10.83% to RM179.44 million,
from RM161.91 million in FY17,
as full-year revenue rose 4.03% to
a record high of RM3.31 billion
from RM3.18 billion.
“Our focus on improvements in
operational efficiencies coupled
with strict cost discipline through-
out the year resulted in a positive
impact on costs and diluted the
effects of cost escalation,” said KPJ
on its full-year performance.
The company expects the
improvements to “accelerate” in
FY19, with the opening of more
new hospitals and healthcare fa-
cilities by the group. However, it
also pointed that the rising cost
in the healthcare industry will
continue to be its main challenge.

Malaysia (BNM) will be launch-

provide guidelines, especially for
financial institutions, to combat
the rise in cybercrime.
CyberSecurity Malaysia chief

din Abdul Wahab said more than
10,000 cases of cybercrime were
reported in 2018.
“Of these, more than half of the
cases involved cyber fraud amount-
ing to millions of ringgit. We hope
with the launch of this policy, we
can tackle these money scams,” he
told reporters at the Islamic Fintech

He said under the nation’s nation-
al cybersecurity policy, 10 sectors
were identified as critical national
information infrastructure, including
government, defence and security,
finance and banking, and transport.
“This means if there were major
attacks on any of these sectors, it

Bauxite-linked counters rise
ahead of moratorium expiry
Shares in WZ Satu, which has bauxite waiting to be exported, jump by as much as 25%
BY A DA M A ZI Z
KUALA LUMPUR: News on late
Monday that the government has
decided not to extend the ban on
bauxite mining activities in Kuantan
beyond March 31 lifted the shares in
two companies tied to the industry.
The decision by Putrajaya marks
the end of a moratorium on the
mining of the ore, used to produce
aluminium, which has lasted over
three years since it was first im-
posed on Jan 15, 2016.
Shares in WZ Satu Bhd, which is
involved in bauxite mining in Pa-
hang, rose as much as 25% yesterday.
The counter opened up eight
sen at 40 sen, before paring some
gains to close at 36.5 sen, still up
4.5 sen or 14.06% from Monday.
The group’s market capitalisation
stands at RM169.79 million.
According to its financial results
for the year ended Aug 31, 2016, WZ
Satu could earn some RM3 million
in profit after tax each quarter from

Boustead, in which Lembaga Tabung Ang-

as well as alternative accommodation providers.
“We currently have two Royale Chulan

hotel as part of the terms in the
Letter of Offer.
Additionally, Boustead shall

If the sale and purchase agree-

its written demand to Boustead.
Boustead shares slipped one

KUALA LUMPUR: Pesona Met-
ro Holdings Bhd announced
yesterday it has secured a new
contract worth RM408.8 million
from Malaysian Resources Corp
Bhd (MRCB) for superstructure
works for a mixed development
in Seksyen 98, here.
On the same day, it said it
has mutually terminated an-
other project worth RM371.42
million in relation to the civil
works for Section 6 of the Kapar
Interchange to Asam Jawa In-
terchange of the privatisation
of the West Coast Expressway.
The two announcements
were made in separate filings
to Bursa Malaysia.
In the first, Pesona Metro
said its wholly-owned subsidi-
ary Pesona Metro Sdn Bhd has
received a letter of acceptance
from MRCB’s wholly-owned
subsidiary MRCB Builders Sdn
Bhd to complete construction
works on three blocks of apart-
ments comprising 734 units, to-
gether with 10 floors of parking
(including basement) and six
units of retail space.
The project will be for a du-
ration of 30.5 months, starting
from Feb 18, said Pesona Metro.
Expected to contribute positively
to its earnings and enhance its
net assets during the duration of
the project, Pesona Metro said
it will fund the project via inter-
nal funds.
In the second announcement,
it said its Pembinaan Kaleigh-Pe-
sona Metro joint venture (JV)
had, yesterday, inked a mutual
termination agreement for the
project with Konsortium Kon-
traktor Sdn Bhd-Pembinaan Ka-
liegh JV, the main contractor that
awarded the project.
Its board of directors said the
move was in the best interest of
the group after considering the
potential impact to the earnings
of the group “should the delay
of the project persists”.
The project was first secured
in 2016 and was meant to be
completed in thirty months.
“The parties have agreed [to]
the terms of settlement for a sum
of RM7,167,591.92 payable by
the main contractor to the JV in
respect of all claims and coun-
terclaims and the full and final
payment of all and any other
rights and obligations.
“The main contractor shall
gain access to and take full site
possession on Feb 15, 2019 from
the JV,” Pesona Metro said, add-
ing there is no material impact
to its earnings and net assets
based on the agreed settlement
sum.
Pesona Metro shares closed
1.5 sen or 6.82% higher at 23.5
sen yesterday, giving it a mar-
ket capitalisation of RM163.31
million. Over the past year, the
counter has fallen about 37%

Margin squeeze
will still weigh on
GDeX earnings
FY19 profit growth seen ‘flattish’ as competition remains heated
BY W O N G EE L I N
KUALA LUMPUR: With over 120 play-
ers crowding the last-mile delivery
space — no thanks to an “overhype” of
the e-commerce sector since the Digi-
tal Free Trade Zone (DFTZ) launch in
2017 — logistics firm GD Express Car-
rier Bhd (GDeX) has been suffering
from a margin squeeze in Malaysia as
it deals with competition, especially
from new start-ups, according to its
executive director and chief invest-
ment officer Jerry Lee.
Although demand for courier ser-
vices is growing with the continued
advancement of e-commerce, the sup-
ply of such services has far outpaced
demand. Hence, price wars have be-
come the norm since two years ago and
will likely continue for another two to
three years, according to Lee’s forecast.
However, the industry is beginning
to see signs of consolidation, perhaps
an indicator that competition has
peaked. “It is now about who will be
the last man standing,” said Lee dur-
ing a Chap Goh Mei media luncheon
yesterday, citing a similar trend seen
in other advanced countries.
He believes there would be three
major last-mile delivery firms stand-
ing at the end of the consolidation.
GDeX aims to be one of them.
“So, yes, margins here will con-
tinue to be squeezed as we fight for

pushing for regional growth and we
think that will mitigate the squeeze,”
he said, adding GDeX is hoping to
secure a last-mile delivery partner-
ship in Vietnam by end-2019.
As such, the group — whose net
profit dropped 18% year-on-year in
the first quarter ended Sept 30, 2018
(1QFY19) to RM6.47 million from
RM7.89 million — is expecting its
bottom-line growth in FY19 to be
“flattish”, he said.
Meanwhile, Lee highlighted
GDeX’s strong balance sheet, with
a net cash of RM217.01 million,
and total borrowings at RM40.46

According to Lee, GDeX currently
holds about 20% of the last-mile de-

Noting the company’s growth strat-
egy is to expand its footprint and pres-

adding the company believes there is
a strong growth opportunity in Indo-

Hibiscus 2Q profit jumps over four
times on stronger operations
BY ARJ U N A C H A N D R A N S H A N K A R
KUALA LUMPUR: Hibiscus Petro-
leum Bhd’s net profit of RM50.11
million for the second quarter end-
ed Dec 31, 2018 (2QFY19) was over
four times or 354% higher than
RM11.04 million a year ago, on
additional contribution from its re-
cently acquired North Sabah assets
and higher production efficiency
at the Anasuria Cluster in the UK.
Consequently, earnings per
share jumped to 3.15 sen from
0.72 sen. Revenue was up 117%
to RM165.16 million from RM76.06
million, according to its Bursa Ma-
laysia filing yesterday.
For the cumulative six months
ended Dec 31, 2018 (1HFY19), the
group’s net profit skyrocketed 588%
to RM150.11 million, about seven
times higher than RM21.83 million
in the year-ago period. Revenue
grew 291% to RM525.11 million
from RM134.3 million.
In a statement, the group said it
sold about 568,000 barrels of crude
oil (bbls), comprising 274,000 bbls
from Anasuria sold at an average
realised oil price of US$58.08
(RM237.55) per bbl, and 294,000
bbls from the North Sabah pro-
duction sharing contract sold at an
the next 25 years, he said.
Pheim Asset Management high-
lighted its funds such as Dana

CAV-SIF-Asean Emerging Compa-
nies Fund registering total cumula-
tive returns of 358.74% and 454.36%
since they were established in 2002
and 1995 respectively.
About this year’s investment strat-
egy, Tan is bullish on the technology
and semiconductor sectors due to
their promising outlook. “People
talk so much about 5G (fifth-gen-
eration wireless, the latest iteration
of cellular technology]; eventually,
5G will go (that is, develop rapidly)
— you cannot stop that, [hence] the
outlook is very good.”
Tan said Pheim Asset Manage-
ment still looks at Internet-related
and semiconductor companies, es-
pecially those in countries such as
Taiwan and South Korea, in a bid
to leverage their strengths in semi-
conductor and technology to bring
in good returns for their investors.
Tan also said Pheim Asset Man-
agement still favours the Asia re-
gion ex-Japan, particularly Asean,
citing it as one of the fastest-grow-
ing regions in the world.
Asean’s potential cannot be un-
derstated. Although its population is
five times more than those of Taiwan
and South Korea combined, the to-
tal market capitalisation of Asean is
smaller than that of the two countries
combined, showing much space to
grow in the capital markets given
there is no shortage of talents and
entrepreneurs, Tan added.
Pheim Asset Management, cel-
ebrating its silver jubilee this year,
is hopeful about increasing its
AUM by 10% to 15% by end-2019.
average US$71.30 per bbl.
This brought its 1HFY19 crude
oil sold across both assets to 1.7
million bbls. “The group hopes to
maintain the current production
momentum to deliver on its target
of between 2.7 and three million
bbls of oil from the group’s two pro-
ducing assets in FY19,” said Hibis-
cus. “The group remains debt-free
with a cash balance of RM203.8
million as at Dec 31, 2018.”
The group’s total net oil pro-
duction rate is about 8,850 barrels
per day from the two producing
assets, and it plans to execute pro-
duction enhancements that could
enhance net production to over
12,000 barrels per day by 2021,
said Hibiscus managing director
Kenneth Pereira.
The group has also started eval-
uating options to develop the Mar-
igold and Sunflower oilfields in the
UK, which Pereira said hold po-
tential to drive a significant future
earnings growth when these fields
commence production.
"We are excited about the activ-
ities ahead for Hibiscus Petroleum

will act as positive value-enhanc-
ing triggers for our shareholders,"
he added.

Let the court decide — MAHB
It is normal to inform shareholders via Bursa announcements of any material matters
BY A R J U N A CHA ND RA N SHANKAR
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Air-
ports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) says
it will let the court decide wheth-
er low-cost carrier AirAsia Group
Bhd and its long-haul affiliate,
AirAsia X Bhd (AAX), should pay
the RM36.12 million the airport
operator is claiming for outstand-
ing airport taxes.
“MAHB has stated previously
that the passenger service charge
(PSC) suit against AirAsia is now
being deliberated in court and that
this process should be allowed to
take its due course,” said the airport
operator in a statement yesterday.
It was responding to remarks
made by the Employees Provident
Fund’s (EPF) chief executive officer
Tunku Alizakri Alias on Monday
that it was concerned about the
AirAsia-MAHB airport tax spat as
it reflects badly not only on both
companies but also Malaysia.
Alizakri said while AirAsia had
responded to the EPF’s letter over
the issue, the fund was still wait-
ing for MAHB’s response.
To this, MAHB said it is con-
tinuously engaging with all its key
shareholders, adding that it will
be “happy to address the EPF’s
concerns and clarify the matters
with them accordingly”.
“It is our normal practice to in-
form all our shareholders through
the Bursa Malaysia announce-
ments of any material matters
such as the PSC suit filed against
AirAsia, as well as their counter-
claim notice,” it added.
On Dec 11 last year, AirAsia an-
nounced that MAHB’s subsidiary
Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn
Bhd (MASSB) had filed a lawsuit
against the airline’s wholly-owned
unit AirAsia Bhd, seeking RM9.4
million for unpaid PSCs.
MASSB had also served
AAX with a writ of summons of
RM26.72 million for PSC arrears.
On Jan 23, AirAsia sought over
RM400 million in counterclaims
against MAHB in response to the
suits filed by the airport operator.

Global sovereign sukuk issuance to recover in 2019 — Moody’s

MAHB reiterated that the PSC is a
statutory rate fixed by the govern-
ment and published via the gazette,
and it affects the economics of the
nation’s aviation industry.
“It is imperative to establish
clarity on the implementation of
the gazetted PSC, the roles and
responsibilities of the airlines and
airports, as well as the rights of the
parties involved.
“These are matters of law that the
court needs to decide to put the mat-
ters to rest, in order for the aviation
industry to operate efficiently and
competitively, and in compliance
with all international aviation stand-
ards and regulations,” added MAHB.
The PSC is paid by departing
passengers and is collected by the
airlines upon purchase of tickets. It
is later passed on to MAHB upon
completion of the flight.
While the PSC is set at RM73
per passenger, beginning Jan 1 this
year, AirAsa and AAX have only
been collecting RM50 per passen-
ger. MAHB is now demanding that
the two airlines pay up the RM23
difference per passenger from July
onwards.
However, AirAsia said it has not
collected, and refuses to collect,
from travelling passengers.
AAX has done likewise.

saying it prefers to resolve its

“In fact, we proposed medi-

RM40m private
placement plan
BY E MIR Z A IN UL
KUALA LUMPUR: Asia Brands
Bhd, whose fashion brands include
Anakku, Audrey and Mickey Junior,
has aborted its plan to undertake a
private placement exercise, which
would have seen it issuing up to 20%
of its enlarged share capital to new
investors, to raise RM23.27 million.
“Asia Brands will not proceed
with the implementation of the
private placement as the compa-
ny had achieved its objective to
raise funds from the rights issue
for the repayment of the Islamic
Medium-Term Notes (Tranche 1,
Series 3) of RM40 million due on
March 18, 2019,” it said in a filing
with Bursa Malaysia yesterday.
The private placement was also
proposed to be implemented to
facilitate Asia Brands to comply
with the public shareholding spread
requirement of the listing require-
ments of Bursa Malaysia Securities
in the event its public shareholding
spread falls below 25% following the
implementation of the rights issue.
However, Asia Brands noted
that as the public shareholding
spread after the implementation
of the rights issue remains above
25%, it has decided not to proceed
with the implementation of the
private placement.
On July 2 last year, Asia Brands
proposed to undertake a rights
issue of up to 116.32 million new
shares at 35 sen each on the basis
of one rights share for every ex-
isting share in Asia Brands. The

BY TAN XU E Y I N G
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian prop-
erty market will go through another year
of “further stagnation” before a more
meaningful recovery can be seen in one
to two years from now. But the industrial
sub-sector will be the least impacted for
now, said property consultant Rahim & Co.
“As we enter 2019, we foresee the new
year to be a period of further stagnation
with continued hope and anticipation
of improvements, with the introduction
of new policies and incentives aimed at
the property market such as the National
Housing Policy 2.0 and property crowd-
funding platform,” Rahim & Co executive
chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Abdul
Rahman told reporters at the launch of
its 2018/2019 property market research
publication here yesterday.
“Collectively, the continuation of the
wait-and-see sentiment and the persisting
struggle of buyers [in] securing housing
loans contributed to the market’s stag-
nation and the rising of inventory levels.”
As at the end of the third quarter of
2018, Malaysia’s property overhang stood at
43,219 units worth RM29.47 billion, includ-
ing serviced apartments and small-office
home-office units. Across all states, Johor
holds the highest count of overhang units
at 13,767 units, followed by Selangor (7,233
units) and Kuala Lumpur (5,114 units).
Nevertheless, the real estate consul-
tancy firm said the industrial segment
will be the “star performer” of the current
Malaysian property market, as the rise in
the logistics business is now in demand
to keep up with consumer demand on
the back of an e-commerce wave.
According to Robert Ang, Rahim &
Co’s director of real estate agency, in-
dustrial assets generate the highest yield
of 6% to 7%, compared to that of com-
mercial (office, retail) at 5% to 6%, and
residential in prime areas at 3% to 4%.
Ang said this is because there has
been an increase in logistics and ware-
housing activities of not just local but
foreign players too. He identified areas
such as Shah Alam, Banting and those
serviced by extensive highway networks
as “hotspots” for such activities.
“The Digital Free Trade Zone has not
kicked off in a big way right now, but it
has a lot of potential, especially with
it being close to the Kuala Lumpur In-
ternational Airport (KLIA). The master

plan for KLIA [shows that its] repositioning
exercise is going to give positive impacts,
[especially] to the logistics market.”
However, he cautioned that as indus-
trial properties generally take two to three
years to build, the property sub-sector
might be faced with the issue of “too much”
industrial space and facilities upon their
completion in the years ahead.
As for the office sector, research direc-
tor Sulaiman Akhmady Mohd Saheh said
the asking prices for rental have fallen by
20%, while the effective rental rates are
down by 8% to 10%.
“For the office market, [recovery] will
take a little more than one year simply
because of the incoming supply as well
as the global economic situation.
“Market actual transactions, especial-
ly for established areas, indeed, also saw
some declines because of the vacancy rates
and prolonged rent-free period ... yields
have actually [been] reduced.
“The residential segment will take an-
other one to two years [to recover] ... the
growth in residential transactions is going to
be more dependent on the effective income
growth of the population,” Sulaiman added.
Retail malls are also at risk of oversupply,
with more new malls soon to enter the mar-
ket, although Malaysia’s overall occupancy
rates are holding at above 80% despite the
increase in space over the past few years,
helped by e-commerce taking businesses
to bricks and mortar, the consultant said.
‘Six-month reserved period before
bumi lots are freed up too short’
Abdul Rahim, meanwhile, said the request
from property developers that unsold bu-
miputera lots be freed up for sale to the
non-bumiputeras is a fair one.
However, he thinks the six-month re-
served period may be “too short” and
said there must be genuine, demonstrat-
ed efforts that the developers have in fact
strived to market and sell these units to
bumiputera buyers.
He was commenting on the Perak state
government’s move to allow developers to
release unsold properties under the bu-
miputera quota within six months instead
of the original two years.
“Generally, there is a 30% imposition
of sales to bumiputeras. I personally think
that if all efforts have been done, [within]
a certain limit of period, it is only fair to
the developers that they (the units) should
be released to the public.”

Tchenguiz’s UK
hotels sold to
Dayan-backed
group — sources
BY JACK SIDDERS
LONDON: The family of Israe-
li property tycoon Amir Dayan
is among buyers of a portfolio
of UK hotels leased to Hilton
Worldwide Holdings Inc, ac-
cording to people with knowl-
edge of the deal.
The group of nine hotels,
which entered a form of bank-
ruptcy protection under UK in-
solvency laws starting in early
2018, was acquired by companies
controlled by Vivion Investments
Sarl for £246 million (RM1.3 bil-
lion), according to a filing by the
administrators appointed to over-
see the properties. Dayan’s family
is among the investors of Vivion,
the people said, asking not to be
identified because the informa-
tion was private.
A representative of the Dayan
family did not immediately re-
spond to requests for comment.
The sale marks the start of
a new saga for the Zinc Hotels
portfolio that was once owned
by Iranian-British businessman
Vincent Tchenguiz. His Consen-
sus Business Group tried to sell
the nine hotels scattered across
England — together with a more
valuable property in London —
for about £600 million, people
familiar with the matter said in
July 2017. A deal could not be
reached and creditors instead
put the businesses into adminis-
tration, or a form of bankruptcy
protection, the filing showed.
The most valuable hotel in the
original portfolio, the Kensing-
ton Hilton in London, was sold
separately for £261.5 million to a
company controlled by hotelier
Bakir Cola.
Zinc is the second acquisition
within the hospitality industry by
Vivion in the past year, and fol-
lows the £750 million purchase of
the Ribbon portfolio of Holiday

Water talks

KLANG: Negotiations on the
review of the price of raw wa-

Singapore started last month,
said Foreign Minister Datuk
Saifuddin Abdullah.
He said the talks were
being undertaken by Attor-

“Discussions on the water

Asked on Singapore’s re-

but the fact that the negotia-
tions have started was a step
forward.
On Sunday, Prime Minister

Saifuddin would head the Ma-

He said, at present, the au-

be proved to have touched or

the victim must have evidence
such as a video clip to prove the
crime.
“For example, when a woman
is being chased, she would not be
able to record it on camera, so she
will just go to the police station
but the police will say that there
is no solid evidence for them to
take action. She cannot prove
whether the suspect touched or
hit her, but you know that when
you are being stalked or pried

Indonesia’s key priority in 2019
Malayan Banking Bhd
(Feb 19, RM9.48)
Reiterate sell with an unchanged
target price (TP) of RM9.20:
Maybank Indonesia held its finan-
cial year 2018 (FY18) results brief-
ing on Monday via a teleconfer-
ence. The bank reported a decent
improvement in earnings for FY18,
with profit before tax and profit
after tax and minority interest ris-
ing 20.5% and 21.6% year-on-year
(y-o-y) respectively. The stronger
set of results was underpinned by
a higher net interest income (NII)
(+5.2% y-o-y) along with a 38.6%
y-o-y decrease in provisions. Re-
turn on equity widened to 10.2%
from 9.9% a year ago.
Overall asset quality strength-
ened, as the gross non-perform-
ing loan (NPL) reduced to 2.59%
in December 2018 from 2.81% a
year ago. Management noted that a
better loan quality and a recovery
from NPL accounts led to a lower
cost of credit. The improvement
was also the result of the sale in
some corporate NPL accounts.
Total loans and advances grew
6.3% y-o-y, driven by community
financial services (CFS) non-retail,
which expanded by 10.9% y-o-y.
CFS retail, which comprises auto
loans and credit cards, widened
at a less robust pace of 3.1% y-o-y.
Dampening the segment’s growth
prospects, mortgages are expected
to register more gradual growth as
the bank has recently recalibrated
its business model. Growth in the
global banking divisions also ap-
peares to have improved, although
growth has been muted by early
repayments from several corpo-
rate customers. Global banking ac-
counts for some 23% of total loans.
Meanwhile, total customer deposits
contracted by close to 4% as liquid-
ity in the industry remained tight
throughout 2018. Overall net inter-
est margin (NIM) rose seven basis
points (bps) y-o-y to 5.24% due to
a disciplined pricing management.
Muting the improvement in NII,
the non-interest income contract-
ed by 17%. This resulted in an over-
all weaker gross operating income
(-0.6% y-o-y) for the bank. Fee
income slipped 2.6% y-o-y due to
lower fees from non-loan-based
products as well as lower gains
on foreign exchange transactions.
Management foresees a better
year ahead — in terms of loan guid-
ance. For 2019, loan growth is pro-
jected to grow at a healthier pace
of 9%-10% on the back of stable
economic growth. Management
continues to foresee potential in-
creases in the policy rate in 2019, al-
beit at a lower pace compared with
2018. However, NIM may compress
by some 15bps to 20bps during
the year as the bank builds up on
its liquidity buffers. On a positive
note, asset quality is envisaged to
remain benign, with overall credit
cost maintained at about 95bps.
Challenges for the new financial
year include various external geo-
political risks and higher political
tension due to election year in In-
donesia. In the meantime, manage-
ment will focus on financing infra-
structure projects. CFS non–retail,
that is business banking and small
and medium enterprises (SMEs)
will continue to be the driver of
growth for the bank. Elsewhere,
the bank will continue to develop
various competitive retail products
to strengthen the CFS retail seg-
ment. Efforts to digitise the bank
will also be of key priority in 2019.

margin pressure in nitrile space
Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd
(Feb 19, RM4)
Maintain hold with a higher fair
value (FV) of RM3.89: We main-
tain our “hold” recommendation
with a slightly higher FV of RM3.89
(versus RM3.82 previously) af-
ter introducing Kossan Rubber
Industries Bhd’s financial year
2021 (FY21) forecast net profit of
RM287.9 million.
FY18 net profit of RM200.7 mil-
lion (9.3% year-on-year [y-o-y])
met both our and street’s esti-
mates, accounting for 96.7% and
97.8% of full-year forecasts re-
spectively.
FY18 top line grew 9.5% y-o-y
to RM2.14 billion due to a strong
demand growth where sales vol-
ume increased 9.7% y-o-y. Gloves’
average selling price improved
6.1% y-o-y in terms of US dollar.
However, this was dragged by a
6.2% strengthening of the ringgit
against the US dollar.
Comparing FY18 with FY17,
Kossan’s earnings before inter-
est, taxes, depreciation and am-
ortisation (Ebitda) rose 10.5% to
RM345.8 million. Despite the 9.7%
increase in sales volume, Ebitda
margin only improved marginal-
ly by 0.1 percentage point due to
higher costs. This was attributed
to the higher natural gas prices,
which climbed by 22.8% y-o-y cou-
pled with a higher nitrile rubber
price, which increased 9.3% y-o-y.
Kossan’s product mix has shift-
ed further towards nitrile with a
nitrile-to-natural rubber split of
75:25 (70:30 previously). We be-
lieve Kossan will be facing some
margin pressure stemming from
heightened competition in the ni-
trile space as the big rubber glove
producers ramp up their nitrile
glove capacity expansion (+14%
in FY19). We anticipate Kossan’s
Ebitda margin to remain around a
similar level of about 16% in FY19.
Kossan’s Plant 18 (2.5 billion
pieces) is expected to be commis-
sioned by second quarter of FY19
(2QFY19) while Plant 19 (three
billion pieces) is expected to be
commissioned by 4QFY19. Kos-
san’s total production capacity is
expected to reach 32 billion pieces
by end-FY19 (26.5 billion pieces
currently).
The next phase for Kossan’s
expansion will be in Bidor, Per-
ak. Construction of the plant will
start in FY20 and be completed in
eight years’ time. — AmInvestment

S’pore tries to avoid Japan trap
Strong currency, low-income worker subsidies offer contrasting approach to the challenge of an ageing society
BY A N DY MU KHERJEE
J
apan has aged; Singapore is
ageing. Japan’s workforce is
shrinking; Singapore’s has
plateaued. Japan’s homo-
geneous society has strug-
gled with immigration; Sin-
gapore’s island culture has
been welcoming of foreigners,
though increasingly less so.
So is the city state scoring an
own goal by inviting a demograph-
ic decline and Japanese-style lost
decades?
After Monday’s annual govern-
ment budget, in which Singapore
Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat
announced stronger curbs on im-
migrants in service industries,
questions around his economic
strategy have become more urgent.
For Singapore firms, hiring the right
talent in the right quantities and at
the right prices is already the No
1 headache. And yet the bureau-
crat-turned-politician, tipped to
take over as Singapore’s next prime
minister, is inflicting more pain.
So what exactly is Heng’s big
idea behind choking off supplies
of foreign workers?
The good jobs challenge
BY DA N I ROD RI K
AROUND the world today, the cen-
tral challenge for achieving inclusive
economic prosperity is the creation
of sufficient numbers of “good jobs”.
Without productive and dependable
employment for the vast majority
of a country’s workforce, econom-
ic growth either remains elusive or
its benefits end up concentrated
among a tiny minority. The scarcity
of good jobs also undermines trust
in political elites, adding fuel to the
authoritarian, nativist backlash af-
fecting many countries today.
The definition of a good job obvi-
ously depends on a country’s level
of economic development. It is typi-
cally a stable formal-sector position
that comes with core labour protec-
tions such as safe working condi-
tions, collective bargaining rights,
and regulations against arbitrary
dismissal. It enables at least a mid-
dle class lifestyle, by that country’s
standards, with enough income for
housing, food, transportation, edu-
cation, and other family expenses,
as well as some savings.
There is much that individual
enterprises all over the world can
do to improve employment condi-
tions. Large firms that treat their em-
ployees better — by providing them
with higher pay, more autonomy,
and greater responsibility — often
reap benefits in the form of low-
Consider the change in the la-
bour composition of Singapore’s
service industries since 2013. Back
then the dependency ratio ceiling
was 45%. Hence, a business with
20 full-time locals (citizens or per-
manent residents) could employ
16 foreigners. In 2015, the ratio was
reduced to 40%. For the same 20 lo-
cals, three foreigners had to be cut.
Now Heng wants to drive the ra-
tio still lower to 35% in two steps by
January 2021. Two more foreigners
need to be let go while keeping the
same 20 locals in employment. Since
businesses need to grow, they will
have to make up the difference by
hiring more locals instead. It is a risky
strategy because firms can always
curb expansion or shut down. But so
far at least, the gamble has worked.
Every member of households
with at least one working person
has seen inflation-adjusted income
from work grow almost 23% between
2013 and 2018, compared with less
than 10% in the previous five years.
Is a permanently anti-immigra-
tion stance the right one for a small,
open economy (population: 5.6 mil-
lion)? Contrast again with Japan, but
this time focus on the difference in
how the countries are responding to
their shared demographic challenge
of low fertility. Japan, since 2013, has
er turnover, better worker morale,
and higher productivity. As MIT’s
Zeynep Ton has long argued, “good
jobs” strategies can be as profitable
to firms as they are to workers.
But the deeper problem is a struc-
tural one that goes beyond what firms
can do on their own. Developed and
developing countries alike are suffer-
ing today from a growing mismatch
between the structure of production
and the structure of the labour force.
Production is becoming increasingly
skill-intensive while the bulk of the
labour force remains low-skilled. This
generates a gap between the types of
jobs that are created and the types
of workers the country has.
Technology and globalisation
have conspired to widen that gap,
with manufacturing and services
becoming increasingly automated
and digitised. While new technolo-
gies could have benefited low-skilled
workers in principle, in practice
technological progress has been
largely labour-replacing. In addition,
global trade and investment flows,
and global value chains in particular,
have homogenised production tech-
niques around the world, making it
very difficult for poorer countries to
compete in world markets without
adopting skill- and capital-intensive
techniques similar to those of the
advanced economies.
The result is the intensification of
economic dualism. Every economy in
the world today is divided between an
advanced segment, typically globally
integrated, employing a minority of

immigrants in service industries on
Monday. Photo by Bloomberg
embarked on a bold programme of
monetary adventurism to beat back
deflationary expectations, engineer
low or negative real interest rates
and coax employers to invest more
and raise wages.
Abenomics, as the plan is known,
has had only limited success. Sin-
gapore, by comparison, has gone
deeper into the engine room of the
economy, and sought a stronger
(rather than weaker, as in Japan’s
case) currency. And while Japan
the labour force, and a low-produc-
tivity segment that absorbs the bulk of
the workforce, often at low wages and
under poor conditions. The shares
of the two segments may differ: de-
veloped countries obviously have
a greater preponderance of highly
productive firms. But, qualitatively,
the picture looks quite similar in rich
and poor countries — and produces
the same patterns of inequality, ex-
clusion, and political polarisation.
Logically, there are only three ways
to reduce the mismatch between the
structure of productive sectors and
that of the workforce. The first strate-
gy, and the one that receives the bulk
of policy attention, is investment in
skills and training. If most workers
acquire the skills and capabilities
required by advanced technologies,
dualism would eventually dissipate
as high-productivity sectors expand
at the expense of the rest.
Such human capital policies are
of course important, but even when
they are successful, their effects will
be felt in the future. They do little
to address labour market realities
at present. It is simply not possible
to transform the labour force over-
night. Besides, there is always the
real risk that technology will ad-
vance faster than society’s ability
to educate its labour force entrants.
A second strategy is to convince
successful firms to employ more un-
skilled workers. In countries where
the skill gaps are not enormous, gov-
ernments can (and should) nudge
their successful firms to increase

has been forced to temper the force
of its monetary expansion by rais-
ing sales tax rates, Singapore has
used its enviable fiscal resources to
throw money at low-wage employ-
ees. Heng’s latest budget proposals
will see 60-year-old, low-income
Singaporean workers get 30% of their
compensation from the state. That is
on top of a new S$8 billion (RM23.81
billion) support package for seniors.
Cementing popular support for
the ruling People’s Action Party
ahead of an election and a leader-
ship change may be part of the mo-
tivation. But there is also economic
logic behind the budgetary largess.
The city has systemically attacked
pockets of inefficiency and high
consumer prices in everything from
transport and telecom to media
and banking. Singapore has even
crossed swords with developers
who wanted a Hong Kong-style
mania in property prices after a
prolonged, policy-induced decline.
Instead, they got whacked with new
government curbs instead.
It is hard to say how this experi-
ment will end. The Singapore dollar
may have to stay strong to ensure
that an artificially tight labour mar-
ket does not trigger an inflationary
spiral, though there is no sign of one
yet. If anything, real household in-
employment — either directly or
through their local suppliers. Gov-
ernments in developed countries
also have a role to play in affecting
the nature of technological inno-
vation. Too often, they subsidise
labour-replacing, capital-intensive
technologies, rather than pushing
innovation in socially more bene-
ficial directions, to augment rather
than replace less skilled workers.
Such policies are unlikely to make
much difference to developing coun-
tries. For them, the main obstacle will
remain that existing technologies
allow insufficient room for factor
substitution: using less-skilled la-
bour instead of skilled professionals
or physical capital. The demanding
quality standards needed to supply
global value chains cannot be eas-
ily met by replacing machines with
manual labour. This is why globally
integrated production in even the
most labour-abundant countries,
such as India or Ethiopia, relies on
relatively capital-intensive methods.
This leaves a broad range of de-
veloping economies — from mid-
dle-income countries such as Mex-
ico and South Africa to low-income
countries such as Ethiopia — in a
conundrum. The standard remedy of
improving educational institutions
does not yield near-term benefits,
while the economy’s most advanced
sectors are unable to absorb the ex-
cess supply of low-skilled workers.
Solving this problem may require
a third strategy, which is perhaps
the one that gets the least attention:
comes have grown handsomely over
the past five years partly because
inflation has been low. A strong
currency amid weakening global
demand could spill over as frothy
asset prices. Hence the property
curbs will probably stay. (I was ex-
pecting them to be relaxed after the
leadership transition, together with a
little more impetus for immigration.)
Even as finance minister Heng
thins down the foreign worker cate-
gory, he wants to weed out the less
experienced among them. Encour-
aging automation of routine tasks
is key to the plan. The past three
years of rapid growth in Singapore’s
labour productivity must endure.
Otherwise, without additional for-
eign labour, annual GDP expansion
cannot be much higher than the
long-term productivity growth of
1.5%. Singapore will lose out to ri-
vals (unless London suffers badly
from a botched-up Brexit and China
intrudes too much in Hong Kong’s
autonomy).
Singapore is special: Not many
global cities get to write their own
immigration policies. However, if
Hengnomics does succeed, there
will at least be a different route to
breaking out of the tyranny of demo-
graphics than money-printing and
negative interest rates. — Bloomberg
boosting an intermediate range
of labour-intensive, low-skilled
economic activities. Tourism and
non-traditional agriculture are the
prime examples of such labour-ab-
sorbing sectors. Public employment
(in construction and service deliv-
ery), long scorned by development
experts, is another area that may
require attention. But government
efforts can go much further.
Such intermediate activities,
chiefly non-tradable services car-
ried out by small and medium-sized
enterprises, will not be among the
most productive, which is why they
are rarely the focus of industrial or
innovation policies. But they may still
provide significantly better jobs than
the alternatives in the informal sector.
Government policy in developed
and developing countries alike is too
often preoccupied with boosting
the most advanced technologies
and promoting the most productive
firms. But failure to generate good,
middle class jobs has very high so-
cial and political costs. Reducing
those costs requires a different fo-
cus, geared specifically towards the
kind of jobs that are aligned with an
economy’s prevailing skill compo-
sition. — Project Syndicate

Japan says US
will not hike car
tariffs during
trade deal talks
BY Y U KO TA K EO
TOKYO: Japan is sticking to its
view that the US will not apply
higher tariffs on imports of Jap-
anese cars and auto parts so long
as negotiations towards a trade
deal continue, according to To-
kyo’s lead negotiator with Wash-
ington.
The comments from Economy
Minister Toshimitsu Motegi come
as policymakers in Japan and
Europe fret about the findings
of a US Commerce Department
report on vehicle imports sub-
mitted to US President Donald
Trump on Sunday.
Trump has threatened to raise
US tariffs on car and auto part
imports as high as 25% if they are
deemed a US security risk. Higher
tariffs would wallop Japan’s big-
gest industry, severely denting
the country’s growth prospects.
Car and auto part exports made
up 20% of Japan’s total exports
in 2018.
Motegi said yesterday he
had previously confirmed with
US Trade Representative Rob-
ert Lighthizer that Washington
would not apply higher rates
amid talks on a trade deal. Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe had also
confirmed with Trump that ex-
isting rates would stay put while
negotiations took place, he add-

TOKYO: Japan Inc’s record ac-

bank, slipped out of the top three
for the first time since 2016.
Japan’s bankers are falling be-

ing foreign targets, where they

The site in Swindon, about 80

da also plans to cease producing
Civic sedans at a facility in Turkey.
Honda said the move comes
as it “accelerates its commitment

BY PIOT R S KO L IMO W S K I
FRANKFURT: The European
Central Bank’s (ECB) chief
economist added to the cho-
rus of policymakers signal-
ling concern on the economic
slowdown, saying officials
could push back plans to
raise interest rates as a first
response against a deeper
downturn.
“If the euro area economy
were to slow more sharply,
we could adapt our forward
guidance on interest rates and
this could be complement-
ed by other measures,” Pe-
ter Praet said in an interview
with German newspaper Bo-
ersen-Zeitung published late
on Monday. “But one thing
is clear: the ECB’s govern-
ing council will always find
ways and means of acting if
it needs to.”
Praet, who proposes pol-
icy to the ECB’s governing
council, is the second offi-
cial in as many days to flag
a potential shift in language
that currently pledges un-
changed borrowing costs at
least through the summer.
France’s Francois Villeroy
de Galhau also mentioned
a change in wording as an
option to deal with a more
protracted slowdown.
Traders in money mar-
kets are not pricing the first
10-basis-point interest rate
hike until June 2020. Slowing
growth has also triggered a
rally across the region’s bond
markets, with the yield on 10-
year German bunds threaten-
ing to go negative for the first
time since 2016.
Asked whether he expect-
ed an adjustment to forward
guidance already at the ECB’s
March 7 meeting, Praet said
he was not able to say “at this
stage”. While next month’s
projections will likely show
downward revisions to 2019
growth and inflation, the pol-
icy is set with medium-term
prospects in mind, he said.
The extent of the weakness
in the 19-nation economy has
taken policymakers by sur-
prise. Italy entered recession
and Germany only narrowly
avoided the same fate at the
end of 2018.
Political uncertainty, par-
ticularly related to protection-
ism and Brexit is “by far” the
biggest problem constrain-
ing growth, said Praet, who
will retire from the executive
board in May. “The more time
passes, the greater their likely
negative impact on the econ-
omy,” he said. “It is high time
to put an end to these uncer-
tainties in a positive way.”
While a rebound in activity
is likely, it is “too early to say
by how much”, said Praet. —

attempt to revamp struggling
Italian airline Alitalia SpA, ac-

SpA are evaluating the financial

China has had some success

Under a 2008 charter it

That hands the army an ef-

document.
With 2020 polls loom-

“all-inclusive” panel will be to
“write a bill to change the 2008
constitution”, deputy speaker

parliament.
The NLD will be allocated

China unveils plan to tie Hong Kong,
Macau closer to the mainland
The plan is to transform the coastal region into a high-tech megalopolis rivalling Silicon Valley
BY DAVI D T WEED, Y I N A N ZHAO
& E D W I N C HA N
C
hina unveiled a sweep-
ing plan to link Hong
Kong and Macau with
cities in southern Chi-
na to create a so-called
Greater Bay Area, aim-
ing to transform the coastal region
into a high-tech megalopolis to rival
California’s Silicon Valley.
The outline plan, published in
Chinese by Xinhua news agency on
Monday, said the government will
seek to turn the area into a leading
global innovation hub, boost in-
frastructure connectivity between
cities and strengthen Hong Kong’s
role as an international centre of fi-
nance, shipping and trade, as well
as the centre for the offshore yuan
business.
Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen
and Guangzhou will be the key Bay
Area cities, driving the region’s eco-
nomic development, according to
the blueprint. HSBC Holdings plc
has estimated the region, with more
than 67 million residents, would
boast a trillion-dollar economy
and eclipse Japan as the world’s
fourth-largest exporter.
“This policy framework sets a
clear vision for a global econom-
ic powerhouse in the Greater Bay
Area”, allowing cities and regions
to leverage those complementary
strengths more effectively, Peter
Wong, chief executive officer of HS-
BC’s Asia Pacific business, said in
an emailed note.
The strategy announcement
drove stocks in the region higher.
Guangzhou Port, Zhuhai Port and
Shenzhen Yan Tian Port climbed by
the 10% daily limit. The long-herald-
ed plan has led to unease in Hong
Kong that further integration will
erode the autonomy that allows

the city to maintain separate le-
gal, monetary and political systems
from communist China. Though the
plan emphasised the importance of
maintaining the “one country, two
systems” frameworks meant to en-
sure a high degree of autonomy for
Hong Kong and Macau, it did not
mention which customs and legal
systems would predominate.
The Greater Bay Area development
has been challenged by diverging
social, legal and customs systems,
according to the plan. A comprehen-
sive blueprint can “add new impetus
into the development of Hong Kong
and Macau” and help build a “world-
class cluster of cities”, it said.
China had spent billions of
dollars on infrastructure projects
linking the cities, and the plan now
envisages a strategy for the region
stretching to 2035.
The nation’s President Xi Jinping
last year inaugurated a US$15 bil-
lion, 55km bridge, the world’s long-
est sea crossing, linking Hong Kong
with Macau and the mainland city of
Zhuhai. In September, Hong Kong
plugged into China’s 15,500-mile
(24,945km) high-speed rail network
with a futuristic new terminus over-
looking the Victoria Harbour.
The railway faced resistance
from Hong Kong democracy ac-
tivists because of the Chinese bor-
der crossing’s location in the termi-
nus building. They argued it would
undermine a constitutional ban
on mainland law enforcement of-
ficers operating in the city. Hong
Kong passed the enabling legisla-
tion in June, but only after China’s
national parliament stepped in to
ratify the plan.
Technology ambitions
Under the blueprint, the major cities
of the Greater Bay Area will estab-
lish themselves as hubs for different
sectors. Hong Kong will focus on
international finance, navigation
and trade. Macau will be an inter-
national tourism city and a platform
F E AT U R E 2 1
for trade with Portuguese-speaking
countries such as Brazil. Guang-
zhou, formerly known as Canton,
will take a role as an administrative
hub, while Shenzhen — home to
Huawei Technologies Co — will ex-
pand its role as a special economic
zone and technology hub.
Enshrined within the sprawling
policy is a clear intention to recreate
the phenomenon that transformed
the greater US Bay Area over sever-
al decades into the cradle of global
technology innovation.
The plan talks about building an
international technology innovation
centre: a “global high-tech and tech-
nological innovation haven” and a
“wellspring of new industry” in its
own words. The strategy aims to:
• Encourage sharing and coopera-
tion in scientific and technologi-
cal research among universities,
institutions and enterprises in
the region.
• Supporting the establishment
of research and development
centres: five major areas of focus
are logistics, textiles, communi-
cations technology, automotive
components and nano materials.
• Build several technology incuba-
tors in nine Pearl River Delta cities.
• Strengthen protection for in-
tellectual property (IP), includ-
ing a mechanism for handling
cross-border IP cases
• Build “next-generation” Internet
infrastructure, including a digital
home and smart city network.
The government will also sup-
port Hong Kong and Macau banks
and insurers in setting up units in
some cities including Shenzhen
and Guangzhou, according to the
document. China will study setting
up a yuan-denominated securities
market in Macau too. — Bloomberg

FASHION BY ROBERT W ILLIAM S

Burberry’s fractured fashion show is a fit for Brexit Britain

BREXIT has sparked a bitter debate with-
in the UK, pitting class against class, cos-
mopolitan cities against rural enclaves,
and Europhiles versus sceptics. Now, the
country’s top fashion house has to find a
way to sell that divided culture to the world.
Burberry Group plc designer Riccardo
Tisci answered that question on Sunday
with a show full of contrasts that reflect
Britain’s fractured mood. Displayed in
two distinct venues, the collection was
split into a line-up of hip streetwear looks
inspired by 1990s youth culture, followed
by a series of pleated skirts, blazers, and
camel coats for shoppers still attached to
the brand’s buttoned-up heritage of trench
coats and scarves.
“Burberry represents a lifestyle and pret-
ty much a country,” Tisci said backstage
after the show at the Tate Modern muse-
um in London. The divergent parts of the
collection “all stem from the same mood,
but they are talking to different publics”.
UK retailers are preparing for a nasty
shock from Brexit, as a potential exit from
the European Union without a deal raises
concerns about border delays, tariffs and
shortages. As an exporter, Burberry has been
spared much of the pain of UK shoppers’
weak morale, but its goal of joining the top
ranks in luxury have put pressure squarely
on Tisci, the brand’s first new designer after While Tisci declined to give his views on Brexit, his choice of presentation could have been a response to the UK’s split personality. Photos by Reuters

pulls out of
Dubai WTA
Nicol to retire in June IN BRIEF

Brexit ‘mother of all

BY B I L L SCOTT
DUBAI: Former world No 1
Caroline Wozniacki withdrew
from the Dubai Champion-
ships on Monday due to a viral
illness before her first-round
match against Switzerland’s
Stefanie Voegele.
Wozniacki, who won the
2011 title in Dubai, also missed
last week’s Qatar Open because
of the issue which she first felt
around the Christmas period
and the problem lingered with
her through the Australian Open.
She failed to retain her Mel-
bourne crown after losing to
Maria Sharapova in the third
round of this year’s tournament
and is yet to return to the court.
“It sucks. I have gotten ready
to play these two weeks (Doha
and Dubai) where I usually play
well,” the Dane said.
“If I can’t even play at a reason-
able level, there’s no reason for me
to go out there and just play one
set — I want to go out there and
I want to win,” she added.
Wozniacki has been re-
placed by losing Slovenian
qualifier Polona Hercog.
Doha champion Elise
Mertens was eliminated after
a three-hour struggle, losing to
China’s 107th-ranked Zhu Lin
5-7, 6-4, 7-5.
The Belgian received treat-
ment at the two-and-a-half-

National squash queen says current PSA season will be her last
KUALA LUMPUR: After rocking the
glass court for more than two dec-

Nicol David has decided to retire
from the sport when the current
2018/2019 Professional Squash As-
sociation (PSA) season ends in June.
The 35-year-old Penangite, who
helmed the world ranking for a
record of nine years, said she had
the thought for quite some time
and knew earlier that this would
be her last playing season.
“My mind and body have bat-
tled it out to stay at the very top of
my game for such a long time that I
feel that I only have this last big push
left for the final season to give it all
I have before I enter the next phase
of my life.

likes of France’s World Cup winner Ky-

“Competing on tour and be-

I will miss. However, I am going to
make the most of it over these next
few months the best I can.
“After having time to reflect, I can
honestly say that staying at number
one for nine years in a row is what
stands out for me most. I never fully

Australia — Shares rise as financial
stocks gain
SYDNEY: Australian shares closed modestly
higher yesterday as losses in the mining and
healthcare sectors were offset by significant
gains in financial stocks as investors turned
to the safety of the nation’s biggest banks.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 0.28% or
17.1 points to 6,106.9 at the close of trade.
The benchmark had gained 0.4% on Monday.
Financial stocks advanced 1.4%, led by
the “big four” banks, which rose between
1% and 2.3%.
Australia and New Zealand Banking
rose more than 2% after the bank pledged
yesterday to lend more to investors as it
reported the lowest annualised growth rate
in mortgage lending in more than two years.
Investors have “refocused attention on
the big four because that’s where the gains
are,” said Michael McCarthy, chief market
strategist at CMC Markets.
Meanwhile, the metals and mining sub-
index erased early gains to end marginally
lower, with iron ore miner Fortescue Metals
Group Ltd slipping 0.3%.
World’s biggest miner BHP Group ended
flat as investors awaited the company’s results
after market hours. The firm posted a 8%
decline in first-half profit, citing production
disruptions and a fall in commodity prices.
Healthcare stocks finished 1.7% down,
hitting a more than one-month closing low,
with hearing implant firm Cochlear Ltd
slumping 8% after it flagged slower growth
in US and Europe.
Australian medical firms conduct most of
their business in the US and any concerns of
a slowdown in the country would negatively
impact the entire sector.
Australia’s Oil Search is confident its
partners ExxonMobil Corp and Total SA
will be ready to sign off on two big projects
in 2020 that together will double liquefied
natural gas (LNG) exports from Papua New
Guinea.
Oil Search had first hoped the projects
to fuel an expansion of Exxon Mobil’s PNG
LNG plant would be approved in 2019, but
talks with the government took longer than
expected after an earthquake hit the country
a year ago.
“It was a very tough year in Papua New
Guinea for a range of reasons and it started
with the earthquake,” Oil Search chief
executive officer Peter Botten said.
The quake killed more than 100 people
in the rugged highlands region of one of the
world’s poorest countries, destroyed homes,
roads and runways and knocked out gas and
oil facilities.
It also stoked long-running antagonism
against the PNG LNG project, as the country’s
take from the development has been much
lower than anticipated and the government
has been slow to pay out royalties to local
communities.
Some people even blamed oil and gas
operations for triggering the quake.
Europe — Stocks hold onto four-month
highs on trade talks hopes
MILAN: European stocks hovered around
their highest level in four months on Monday
as hopes of progress in US-China trade talks
kept sentiment afloat, while Wall Street was
closed for holiday.
The STOXX 600 Index closed up 0.2%,
steadying at its highest level since Oct 10.
French car parts maker Faurecia climbed
1.3% after saying it hoped to outperform
the market this year and reported margin
expansion, though it warned of negative
auto production growth in general.
“2019 guidance is more cautious on
growth, but resilient margins and FCF should
limit any downgrades,” said Jefferies analysts.
Faurecia’s gain bucked the trend in the
auto sector which fell 0.3%, lagging the
market after data showed car sales in China
fell for a seventh straight month.
Investors in the auto sector were also
on tenterhooks after the US Commerce
Department sent its report on national security
and car imports to US President Donald Trump,
setting the stage for possible tariffs.
“The optimism on trade has been strong,
but the underlying economic data has been
a lot of weaker — so you have some push
and pull factors,” said David Vickers, senior
portfolio manager at Russell Investments.
Much focus was now on flash PMI data due
out this week, he said. “As the bounce-back from
the December lows fades ... the fundamentals
now reassert [themselves],” he added.
Leading the market, Wirecard shares
jumped 15.2% after German market regulator
BaFin banned the establishment or increase
of short positions in the stock.
“I am in two minds as to how much
volatility will be removed,” said Mark Taylor,
sales trader at Mirabaud Securities. “The next
few days will tell if longs are still looking for
levels to sell and won’t feel they’re battling
with shorts ... And, of course, any existing
shorts are now limited in their actions.”
UK-listed consumer goods firm Reckitt
Benckiser also provided a big boost to the
market, up 4.6% after reporting higher-than-
expected fourth-quater sales growth, helped
by improvements in both its health and home
and hygiene businesses.
Chipmaker AMS rose 3.5% after an article,
Barrons saying the company is trying to
diversify away from the slowing iPhone
segment into other consumer areas and
industrial applications.
The bank index inched up 0.4%, having
risen sharply last Friday after European
Central Bank board member Benoit Coeure
said a new round of cheap multi-year loans
to banks was possible.
That big reaction showed how desperate
equity investors are for central banks to do
something to help, Ian Williams, strategist
at Peel Hunt said.
In other negative moves, Casino shares
fell 2.5% after Deutsche Bank cut its rating
to “hold” from “buy”. — Reuters
