‘Some arrangements
are being made’
Malaysia to take possession of 1MDB-linked yacht from Indonesia
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is mak-
ing “some arrangement” with Indo-
nesia to take ownership of a luxury
yacht linked to a multibillion-dollar
financial scandal, a government
spokesman said yesterday.
The Cayman Islands-regis-
tered Equanimity (pic), believed
to be worth some US$250 million
(RM1.02 billion), was seized in Feb-
ruary off Bali, Indonesia.
The US Department of Justice
alleges in civil lawsuits that huge
sums of money were stolen from
Malaysia’s 1 Malaysia Development
Bhd (1MDB) investment fund — set
up by former prime minister Datuk
Seri Najib Razak — in a huge fraud
and money-laundering scam.
The fund and Najib, who lost an
election earlier this year, deny any
wrongdoing.
The suits allege US$1.7 billion
worth of assets were allegedly
bought with the stolen funds, which
US officials are seeking to recover.
Those assets include a 90m yacht
bought by Low Taek Jho, better
known as Jho Low, a former un-
official adviser to 1MDB.
“Some arrangements are being
made with the Indonesian author-
ities responsible [to take over the
yacht],” a spokesman for Malaysian
Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir
Mohamad’s office told AFP.
In PKR’s polls, the winners cannot take all
BY M OHSIN ABDULL AH
KUALA LUMPUR: In writing about
the PKR election, the big story is
obviously the fight for the deputy
president’s post between Datuk Seri
Mohamed Azmin Ali and Mohd
Rafizi Ramli. Clash of the titans, if
you like. Interesting, I would say.
But I will have to begin with the
presidency. Equally interesting, de-
spite Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim win-
ning it uncontested. This simply be-
cause with the presidency under his
belt an array of theories and specu-
lation has surfaced as to what is in
store for Anwar and what his next
move would be.
When Anwar first announced his
intention to bid for the presidency
some two weeks ago, I sought the
views of a political analyst. This was
what he told me.
“I think it is unnecessary for An-
war to contest the party presiden-
cy. Anwar not becoming the PKR
president will not affect his desire
to become the next prime minis-
ter (PM) nor will his argument to
become PM become stronger if he
is a party president.”
So why then did he contest? As
the analyst saw it, Anwar contesting
“is an attempt to reconsolidate his
influence in PKR and reassert his
“We will announce more once we
have finalised the details,” he add-
ed, declining to elaborate further.
A senior maritime official fa-
miliar with the talks told AFP that
the super yacht was in Indonesian
waters off Batam near Singapore.
Bilateral ties between Malaysia
and Indonesia are close with Dr
Mahathir having visited Jakarta
in June, making it his first official
tour of the region after a stunning
election victory in May over Najib.
Malaysia’s anti-corruption au-
thorities have issued an arrest war-
rant for Low, accused of being a key
figure in the scandal surrounding
state fund 1MDB.
Low, a flamboyant playboy
known for partying with Hollywood
A-listers, is a close associate of Na-
jib and allegedly conspired with
position in the new hierarchy of
power within the combined space
of Pakatan Harapan and the Fed-
eral government.”
Anyway, now that Anwar is PKR
president what can we expect? Hence
the theories and speculation aplenty.
The so-called “official” PKR ver-
sion is that Anwar is discharging his
duties as party president “quietly”
and Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan
Ismail is carrying out her respon-
sibilities as deputy prime minister
(DPM). But for how long?
Therefore, the “common belief”
is for Wan Azizah to vacate her seat
as member of parliament of Pandan
— making way for her husband to
contest the resulting by-election.
Anwar should win it and make his
way to parliament and more impor-
tantly into Prime Minister Tun Dr
Mahathir Mohamad’s cabinet. As
DPM. En route to the premiership.
At least that is what Anwar ex-
pects. So people say. A simple
straightforward story.
However, there are people in the
political fraternity who agree with
such a theory but differ only about
the constituency Anwar is to contest.
Even a constituency in Johor is being
mentioned. But in the event of An-
war contesting and winning a parlia-
mentary seat other than Pandan, that

him to loot the investment vehicle.
He was believed to have been
sailing around Asia on the luxury
yacht before it was seized.
Low, whose exact whereabouts
are unknown, condemned Malay-
sia’s action to take over the yacht
saying it was “politically motivated”.
“The action of the (Dr) Mahathir
government in illegitimately taking
this asset shows just how quickly
the rule of law disappears in (Dr)
Mahathir’s regime,” according to a
statement issued by his legal team.
“Actions like this make it increas-
ingly clear that there is no jurisdic-
tion where the issues in this case
can be subject to a fair hearing
thanks to a global media circus
fuelled by politically motivated par-
ties whose aim is to convict Mr Low
in public arena.” — AFP
would see Wan Azizah remaining in
cabinet. Still it would be most unlikely
that both husband and wife can be in
the same cabinet at the same time.
But bear in mind all cabinet ap-
pointments are the prerogative of
the prime minister. However An-
war has already been named PM-
in-waiting — the man who would
succeed Dr Mahathir. Yet there is
no time frame set.
Moving on to the Mohamed Az-
min-Mohd Rafizi contest.
Despite frequent denials from
the party, it is not a big secret there
are camps in PKR. Mohamed Az-
min’s and Mohd Rafizi’s .
A political observer puts it this
way, quoting the old Chinese saying:
“One mountain cannot contain two
tigers”. Going on to say: “Sad indeed”.
Both are capable in their own right.
Mohd Rafizi has named a list of
his team members to help him con-
tinue his “struggle” for reforms and
to ensure the party does not deviate
from its original Reformasi principle.
But first not only must Mohd Rafi-
zi beat Mohamed Azmin, all his team
members need to win too for him
to put in place all his ideals without
interference. For all the candidates
in his team to win is not possible —
barring the unlikely event of a, for
the lack of a better word, tsunami.
Tunku Alizakri
Alias is EPF’s
new CEO
KUALA LUMPUR: The Employees
Provident Fund’s (EPF) deputy
chief executive officer (CEO) of
strategy Tunku Alizakri Alias has
been appointed the retirement
fund’s new CEO, replacing outgo-
ing Datuk Shahril Ridza Ridzuan,
who has been named the new
managing director of Khazanah
Nasional Bhd.
“We are pleased with this in-
ternal appointment, as it is a val-
idation of our robust succession
planning which has enabled the
finance minister to choose a suit-
able internal candidate.
“The appointment of the new
CEO will ensure continuity in the
performance of the EPF and as-
sure members that the EPF will
continue to run smoothly in de-
livering its mandate. The choice
of Alizakri as CEO will help fur-
ther drive the social well-being
agenda for the country,” said EPF
chairman Tan Sri Samsudin Os-
man in a statement on Saturday.
Alizakri’s appointment will
take effect on Aug 20.
Samsudin went on to com-
mend Shahril for having brought
the pension fund to new heights
with strong dividends during his
leadership, while enhancing the
EPF’s policies and improvements
to customer experience.
Shahril has been CEO at EPF
since April 16, 2013. Prior to that
he was the fund’s deputy CEO of
investment.
Alizakri has a Master of Busi-
ness Administration from Cornell
University, as well as a Bachelor
of Law from the King’s College of
the University of London.
And for Mohd Rafizi himself to
win against an opponent — who
has the experience of being menteri
besar of nothing less than Selangor
and is currently the economic af-
fairs minister in the Dr Mahathir
administration — that is a tall order.
Said a Pakatan watcher: “Because
political wisdom will show that mem-
bers don’t vote for leaders who have
no position whatsoever. Unless per-
haps for positions in the central lead-
ership council or something.”
Anwar is said to be neutral. Both
Mohamed Azmin and Mohd Rafi-
zi are seen as his loyalists. But of
late Mohd Rafizi is said to be “more
loyal”. And many believe, rightly or
wrongly, Anwar favours Mohd Rafizi.
Anwar’s endorsement would tilt
the balance. But it is not likely he will
openly endorse either of the two.
The advantage nevertheless is with
Mohamed Azmin and “his people”.
Should Mohd Rafizi lose, chanc-
es are he will be accommodated
— that is he nor his people, or at
least some of them, will not be left
in the political wilderness.
Accommodation there may
be, but teams will remain. To fight
another day. But in the words of a
polical commentator, that is what
politics is all about. And that is also
something called democracy.

Gamuda likely to accept
offer for SPLASH
The group will remain O&M contractor for SSP3 water treatment plant but on new terms — sources
BY J O SE B ARROC K & K ATHY FONG
KUALA LUMPUR: Gamuda Bhd,
the biggest shareholder of Syari-
kat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor
Sdn Bhd (SPLASH), is said to be
keen on accepting the Selangor
state’s offer to buy out SPLASH’s
water treatment assets at RM2.55
billion, although the price tag is
slightly lower than one time their
book value — the ideal valuation
that it has wanted, according to
industry sources.
Furthermore, sources said
Gamuda’s 80%-owned unit Gamu-

to be the operation and mainte-
nance (O&M) contractor for the
SSP3 Water Treatment Plant. But

contract would be renegotiated

Investors await clarity on Khazanah’s
objectives after leadership changes
BY S UL H I A ZMA N
KUALA LUMPUR: With the new lead-
ership at Khazanah Nasional Bhd
taking shape, investors and market
watchers await clarity on the sover-
ign wealth fund’s future direction.
Foreign investors are expected to
hold on to their shares in strategic
assets parked under Khazanah un-
til the government provides a clear-
er vision of its objectives under the
new stewardship of Datuk Shahril
Ridza Ridzuan, according to Areca
Capital Sdn Bhd. Currently, foreign
shareholders hold sizeable stakes in
companies under Khazanah’s equity
portfolio, including Tenaga Nasional
Bhd, Axiata Group Bhd and Malaysia
Airports Holdings Bhd.
“For long-term investors, they
are seen to hold on to what they
have unless there is a clear change
in policy that would warrant them to
make adjustments to their holdings,”
Areca Capital chief executive officer
(CEO) Danny Wong Teck Meng told
The Edge Financial Daily in a brief
telephone conversation last week.
Last Friday, Khazanah announced
the appointment of Shahril as its
fourth managing director (MD), re-
placing Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar, af-
ter the Khazanah board resigned en
masse “to facilitate a smooth and
orderly transition under the new
government.” This followed Prime
Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Moham-
ad’s comment in early July that Khaz-
anah had deviated from its original
objectives of helping bumiputeras.
Effective Aug 20, Shahril will helm
the RM157.2 billion sovereign wealth
fund, leaving the Employees Provi-
state government.
The state’s offer once again casts
the limelight on Gamuda whose
share price has been bogged down
by the government’s move to re-
view the country’s infrastructure
projects. The ball is seen to be in
Gamuda’s court now. The con-
struction giant’s board of directors
would have to decide by Friday
when the offer will lapse.
Gamuda’s major shareholder is
the Employees Provident Fund with
a 10.3% stake as at Aug 1. Gamuda
controls a 40% stake in SPLASH,
while Kumpulan Perangsang Sel-
angor Bhd (KPS) owns 30%. Sweet
Water SPV Sdn Bhd, a private ve-
hicle of businessman Tan Sri Wan
Azmi Wan Hamzah, owns the re-
maining 30% stake.
Water treatment forms a key part

dent Fund (EPF) where he helped
manage assets worth RM814.38 bil-
lion as its CEO. The EPF is also a dom-
inant player in the domestic market
as it has investments in more than
30 companies listed on the Main
Market of Bursa Malaysia.
On the recent shake-up in Khaz-
anah, Wong said: “Fund managers
will always assess their risk-adverse
position, and determine whether or
not they want to be on the sidelines
for now.” Former Khazanah MD
Tan Sri Mohd Sheriff Mohd Kassim
said Shahril’s appointment affirms
the government’s commitment to
continue the fund’s original mandate
to benefit all Malaysians. “The first
priority is to get the government to
reaffirm that the original mandate of
Khazanah’s role as a national wealth
fund still stands,” said Mohd Sheriff,
who headed the sovereign wealth
fund from 1994 to 2003. At the same
time, he said, Khazanah should take
the initiative to downsize its partici-
cession business, including high-
way concessions that are housed
under another listed entity, Ling-
karan Trans Kota Holdings Bhd
(Litrak). Gamuda has a 43.58%
stake in Litrak.
The group’s infrastructure con-
cession division saw its pre-tax
profit drop 17% to RM342 million,
while revenue grew 6% to RM508
million for the financial year ended
July 31, 2017 (FY17). Excluding the
one-off impairment of RM98.5 mil-
lion on SMART’s expressway, the
core pre-tax profit would have seen
a 7% increase to RM440 million.
Gamuda posted a pre-tax profit
of RM924 million on a revenue of
RM5.073 billion for FY17.
Naturally, being a state-owned
unit, KPS will vote to accept the
offer when SPLASH stakehold-
ers meet on Thursday. As for Wan
pation in the domestic economy as
“with a smaller public sector, private
business has more room to grow”.
Similarly, MIDF Amanah Invest-
ment Bank Bhd said Shahril’s en-
try into Khazanah would pave the
way for the sovereign wealth fund
to restructure its strategic nation-
al assets in line with the new gov-
ernment’s vision. “Together with
the presence of [Dr] Mahathir and
Azmin (Economic Affairs Minister
Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali) on
board, Shahril will be guided to drive
Khazanah to meet the government’s
strategic and economic objectives,”
said MIDF head of research Mohd
Redza Abdul Rahman. As for the new
Khazanah board members, Mohd
Redza said it underscored the gov-
ernment’s focus on better corporate
governance in Khazanah and its key
investee companies.
Economist Tan Sri Ramon
Navaratnam expects Shahril to
continue exercising prudence and
caution in managing public funds,
particularly in relation to investment
risk. “Sometimes when you have so
much money at your disposal, you
are inclined to increase the returns
and therefore get involved in high-
er-risk investments, which could
have great dangers.”
Dr Mahathir has been appointed
Khazanah chairman, with former
president and CEO of Petroliam Na-
sioal Bhd Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Mar-
ican, former Bank Negara Malaysia
deputy governor Dr Sukhdave Singh,
and former Securities Commission
Malaysia executive director of market
development Goh Ching Yin also on
the board of directors.

Azmi, he said last Friday when the
offer was announced that the re-
turn on the offer was “reasonable”.
Should the deal materialise,
Gamuda and Wan Azmi would re-
ceive a lump sum of cash instantly.
The offer was announced by newly
appointed Selangor Menteri Besar
Amirudin Shari last Friday. The
acquisition requires Pengurusan
Air Selangor Sdn Bhd to make an
upfront payment of RM1.9 billion
upon signing the definitive agree-
ment. The remaining RM650 mil-
lion will be paid in instalments
over a period of nine years.
The divestment of the 40% stake
in SPLASH would earn Gamuda
an instant cash payment of RM760
million and Wan Azmi RM570 mil-
lion.

Azman steps down after 10
years as Axiata chairman
BY S U LHI A Z MA N
KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Az-
man Mokhtar stepped down as
chairman of Axiata Group Bhd
last Friday, following his recent
resignation as the managing di-
rector of sovereign wealth fund
Khazanah Nasional Bhd, which
owns a 37.3% stake in the tele-
communications (telco) group.
In a statement last Friday,
Axiata lauded Azman for what
it termed “10 years of exempla-
ry service”, and attributed the
group’s growth and expansion
since its inception in 2008 to his
visionary leadership.
It is also under Azman’s stew-
ardship that Axiata’s custom-
er base jumped to 350 million,
from 40 million in the 10 years
since December 2017, making it
the second-largest telco group
in Asean and South Asia, while
its revenue more than doubled
to reach RM24 billion in the
same period.
The group’s market capitali-
sation also improved 1.8 times,
from RM28.3 billion at its ini-
tial public offering in 2008 to
RM49.6 billion as at end-2017,
Axiata said.
Its senior independent
non-executive director Tan Sri
Ghazzali Sheikh Abdul Khalid
said Axiata’s emergence as a re-
gional champion and an insti-
tution with a strong governance
practice was due to Azman’s
vision, business acumen and
professionalism.
“As chairman, he always en-
sured that we carried out our
fiduciary duties in accordance
ply Scheme Phase 1 and 3, which
controls about 45% of the treated
water supply in Selangor, Kuala
Lumpur and Putrajaya.
The acceptance of the offer to
take over SPLASH, the state’s larg-
est water treatment concessionaire,
would resolve the water impasse
that started over 10 years ago in
Selangor. The impasse has caused
major water supply issues in Sel-
angor, such as delays in water pipe
replacement, worsening non-rev-
enue water and capacity shortage.
Some quarters see the end of
the water impasse as a catalyst
for the water-related industry, in
which many pipe manufacturers
have suffered from idle capacity for
years after large capital expendi-
tures were spent. This will lead to
more jobs and contracts for wa-
ter-related companies.
with the highest accountability,
and at the same time, creating
long-term value for our stake-
holders,” Ghazzali added.
The telco group could not
have attained its leading indus-
try position without Azman’s
guidance, support and encour-
agement, said Axiata president
and group chief executive of-
ficer Tan Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim.
“One thing I will always re-
member is Azman’s consistent
advice to management to focus
on creating long-term value for
shareholders, rather than focus-
ing purely on short-term profits,
which would have been easier
to achieve,” Jamaludin said.
“Hence, business sustain-
ability and growth are as im-
portant as short-term financial
performance. He certainly does
not like shortcuts,” he said.
Jamaludin also commended
Azman for having been instru-
mental in inspiring Axiata to
work on its new vision of be-
coming the New Generation
Digital Champion in the next
five years.
“On behalf of the board,
management and employees
of Axiata across the region, and
myself, I personally express our
heartfelt appreciation and grat-
itude to Azman for his 10 years
of chairmanship and leadership
of the group,” Jamaludin added.
Axiata, which is listed on
Bursa Malaysia, is a telco group
with businesses in Asia, and
prides itself as having a “Triple
Core Strategy” focus on digital
telco, digital businesses and
infrastructure.

KUB — a laggard in post-
GE14 recovery play
MD says group has always been run professionally despite perceived Umno links
BY B I L LY TOH
KUALA LUMPUR: Like most stocks
that were seen linked to the Barisan
Nasional, KUB Malaysia Bhd’s share
price plummeted on May 14, the
first trading day following the 14th
general election (GE14) on May 9,
which saw a change in government
for the first time in the country’s
post-independence history.
But unlike many of those which
have since rebounded somewhat,
KUB’s stock performance has re-
mained rather lacklustre after sink-
ing 8 sen or 20.25% to close at 32
sen that day.
Last Friday, its share price closed
unchanged at 35 sen, still 12.5%
lower than its closing price of 40
sen prior to GE14. Compared to
a year ago, the group’s stock has
retreated 29.2%.
At the current level, it is trading
at an attractive valuation with a
trailing 12-month price-to-earn-
ings ratio of 5.99 times as com-
pared to its average five-year PE
of 25.1 times.
Last year, the Minister of Finance
Inc exited from KUB after it dis-
posed of its entire 22.5% stake for
RM43.91 million to Anchorscape
Sdn Bhd, a unit of Gaya Edisi Sdn
Bhd, at 35 sen a share, which was
39% lower than the group’s closing
price of 57 sen at the time. Fol-
lowing that, Anchorscape controls
52.17% in KUB. The ultimate owner
of Anchorscape and Gaya Edisi is
Temasek Padu Sdn Bhd, which is
said to be an Umno-linked vehicle.
Asked about its perceived Umno
ties, KUB president and managing
director (MD) Datuk Abdul Rahim
Zarinah Anwar no longer MDV chairman
BY K A N G SI EW L I
KUALA LUMPUR: The post of
chairman at Malaysia Debt Ven-
tures Bhd (MDV), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Minister of Fi-
nance Inc (MoF Inc), has fallen
vacant after Tan Sri Zarinah An-
war’s contract ended last month
and was not renewed.
The Edge Financial Daily learnt
that Zarinah had decided to vol-
untarily vacate the chairmanship
at the non-bank financial institu-
tion’s board of directors after her
contract came up for renewal in
July and there was no news forth-
coming on a contract extension
from MoF Inc.
“In an email last month, Zari-
nah told the staff she decided to
leave her post at MDV as there
was no news on a contract exten-
sion,” a source familiar with the
matter said.
Mohd Zin said the group has al-
ways been run professionally and
competitively.
“The group’s revenues are
largely derived from our energy,
agribusiness, and food sectors
which are market-driven busi-
nesses. The power and ICT (in-
formation and communications
technology) sector order books
are contracts that were awarded
based on open tenders and mer-
it, taking into consideration our
core competencies.
“We will continue to participate
in project tenders that we believe
can meet or exceed customers’ ex-
pectations through professional, ef-
ficient and timely delivery of the job
scope,” Abdul Rahim told The Edge
Financial Daily in an interview.
Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice
president of research Vincent Lau,
who issued a “buy” call on the
company early this year, concurred
the group has been professionally
managed.
“For all the perceived connec-
tion between the major share-
holder and Umno, the group’s
management is run by a group of
professionals with no connection
to any political parties. It is worth
noting that the current MD has
over 25 years of experience and
leadership in various fields, in-
cluding banking and finance, oil
and gas, shipping, and food and
beverages,” he said.
Lau also highlighted that the
stronger earnings the group has
achieved recently — its net profit
jumped 42.24% to RM32.19 million
in its financial year ended Dec 30,
2017 (FY17) from RM22.63 million
Zarinah was appointed chair-
man to the board of MDV in 2013.
MDV’s mandate is to provide pro-
ject and financing facilities to
high-potential technology and
technology-based companies.
Since its inception in 2002, MDV
has disbursed RM11.5 billion in
financing to some 750 technology
companies.
Zarinah is most recognised as
chairman of the Securities Com-
mission Malaysia (SC), a position
she held for six years until her re-

recent years has begun to bear fruit.
The proposed disposal of A&W

cial office tower as it doesn’t want
to develop it on its own.
However, the group’s preference,
according to Abdul Rahim during
a press conference last Friday, is
an outright sale.
“Because we are not in proper-
ty development, if we get a better
valuation for a disposal, we would
probably sell it. We don’t want to
take development risk from the
project,” he was quoted as saying.
As for non-core assets belonging
to the group, “such as some build-
ings in Ipoh and Kota Baru, and
land in Serting and Langkawi,” Ab-
dul Rahim told the daily the group
is looking at ways to monetise them,
as well as any non-performing busi-
nesses, to strengthen its balance
sheet and fund the expansion of
its core businesses.
Among its core businesses is
energy, which contributed over
half the group’s RM599.28 million
revenue in its FY17.
“We are in the process of
strengthening the entire value chain
of our LPG (liquefied petroleum
gas) business from the importation
and bottling of LPG to [improving]
the distribution network and oper-
ations. Some key initiatives being
undertaken include the building
of a satellite bolting plant in Sel-
angor,” he said.
The group is also further im-
proving its cylinder appearance
and quality while expanding its
geographical reach by acquiring
new dealers for markets that are
currently underserved.

energy business to KUB, we are

Zarinah’s departure from MDV

ments in government bodies and
government-linked companies in
recent times, following the Paka-

market while we expand regional-
ly,” Abdul Rahim said.
As for its agriculture business,
the group has completed the
RM100.4 million acquisition of a
1,534ha plantation land in Sabah in
January. Going forward, Abdul Ra-
him said the group’s capital spend-
ing will largely focus on replanting
its existing estates in Johor and
Sarawak, besides mechanising its
operations to improve yield.
The group will also further
broaden its ICT business by ex-
ploring new income streams by
leveraging on strategic collabora-
tions to provide telecommunica-

“Plans are underway to build
more telecommunication towers

Its power business, in the mean-
time, will continue to see a shift in
business model to a more sustain-
able one with a focus on recurring
incomes like energy management
and energy efficient systems —
specifically district cooling, reha-
bilitation and the maintenance of
existing cooling systems of build-

Bioalpha confident of
another record year
This follows improved demand in the first half of the year
BY CH E ST E R TAY
KUALA LUMPUR: Herbal-based
supplements manufacturer Bioal-
pha Holdings Bhd is optimistic about
chalking up another record revenue
this year based on the demand in the
first half of the year, especially in the
April-June quarter.
“I am very confident of another
record year,” group managing director
William Hon Tian Kok told The Edge
Financial Daily. “Our second-quar-
ter performance was pretty good.”
As for the first quarter, Hon said
there was a breakthrough in the rev-
enue achieved.
“Usually by the fourth quarter, we
should have delivered all our orders
to brand owners and distributors,
so the [subsequent] first quarter is
expected to be our low-sales quar-
ter. But this year we were still able
to record a more than RM12 million
turnover in the first quarter,” he said.
For the first quarter ended March
31, 2018, Bioalpha posted a net prof-
it of RM640,000, compared to a net
loss of RM1.96 million a year earlier,
while revenue grew 44.4% to RM12.46
million from RM8.63 million.
The group has seen its revenue ris-
ing every year since listing on the ACE
Market of Bursa Malaysia in 2015.
For the financial year ended
Dec 31, 2017, revenue rose 18.66%
to RM55.92 million, from RM47.12
million in the previous year. Net prof-
it, however, fell 7.35% to RM7.86 mil-
lion from RM8.49 million.
Hon, who founded the business
in 2005, said Bioalpha is today the
only player in the market which is
directly involved in every stage of
the production of herbal-based nu-
tritional products.
The group cultivates various herbs
at its herbal parks in Desaru, Johor
(300 acres or 121.41ha) and Pasir
Raja, Terengganu (1,004 acres) and
carries out its own research and de-
velopment through in-house experts.
Bioalpha is also involved in pro-
cessing the products right up to the
finishing stage, and finally commer-
cialising them at its own franchised
pharmacy chain.
Because of such integration, Hon
said Bioalpha is able to maintain its
gross profit margin at an average
of 60%.
Elaborating on the group’s up-
stream activities, Hon said the ex-
isting herbal planting land bank is
sufficient to cater for growth over
the next five years.
ISG stake sale behind MAHB’s rally?
BY SUP R IYA SURENDRAN
KUALA LUMPUR: Rumours
of Malaysia Airports Holdings
Bhd (MAHB) selling a stake in
wholly-owned Istanbul Sabiha
Gokcen International Airport
(ISG) are apparently making the
rounds again in investing circles.
Former MAHB managing di-
rector Datuk Badlisham Ghazali
had previously said that the group
was open to bringing in partners
to participate in ISG that could
add value to the Turkish airport.
He had, however, stressed that
MAHB would maintain a ma-
jority stake in the airport.
Now, with Badlisham’s de-
parture from MAHB, rumours
have resurfaced that the group
could be looking to sell a major-
ity stake in the loss-making ISG,
according to a source familiar
with the matter.
“The previous managing di-
rector had communicated that
they were only looking to sell a
minority stake in ISG, maybe
20% to 49%. But in the vacuum
of his departure, there are strong
rumours that an 80% stake
sale in ISG has been pushed
through,” said the source.
Whether there is any truth
As for manufacturing facilities, he
said that the main production plant
in Bangi, Selangor will achieve 80%
utilisation rate by the end of this year.
“That is why we have embarked
on some refurbishment and expan-
sion for our facility in Bangi. We will
[also] commence a new factory in
Pasir Raja by the first quarter of next
year,” he said.
With these two expansion pro-
jects, Hon said Bioalpha’s produc-
tion capacity will increase by at least
50%, meeting the expected growth
in its business over the next two to
three years.
On the group’s pharmacy chain
businesses, Hon said Bioalpha cur-
rently has a portfolio of 15 outlets,
and will set up another 10 outlets
under the franchised model over
the next six months.
“Our objective is to
commercialise our
house brand supple-
ment products; we
are not into drugs.
This way it is easi-
er for us to convince
to the rumours is yet to be seen, but
there is renewed interest in MAHB
shares, which took the price to a new
high last week.
The counter rose 8.1% from
RM9.07 last Monday to RM9.80 last
Friday — its highest level since list-
ing in 1999, despite there being no
developments reported by MAHB
last week that could account for the
sharp increase in price.
The last major development from
MAHB was in June when the airport
operator announced the departure of
Badlisham as its managing director
after ending a four-year contractual
tenure. His successor has yet to be
identified, and in the interim MAHB
chief financial officer (CFO) Raja
Azmi Raja Nazuddin is serving as
group chief executive officer.
When contacted by The Edge Fi-
nancial Daily, a MAHB spokesman
said the rally in its share price was most
probably due to “stronger engagement
and shareholder confidence in the
group’s business strategies”.
“On ISG, we are continually in
talks with interested parties and
will announce any decision in due
course,” the spokesman said.
It was widely reported in the
press last year that TAV Havaliman-
lari Holding AS, which operates the
Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, is eyeing

other retail pharmacy chains to sell
our products,” he said.
“We encourage our franchisees
to open at residential or commu-
nity areas, instead of competing at
the high street level. Because the
margin is better, and the break-even
period is much shorter, some could
start making money in two to three
months, like our Tanah Merah outlet
[in Kelantan],” he added.
Hon said the franchising business
model allows the group to expand its
pharmacy network under the same
brand without incurring substantial
capital outlay.
He said it costs about RM500,000
to establish a pharmacy outlet, while
each franchisee will have to pay a
franchise fee of RM80,000 and up-
front revenue to the group.
On top of that, the group will earn
a management fee for managing the
day-to-day operations of the outlets
Hon: Our objective is to commercialise
our house brand supplement products;
we are not into drugs. This way it is
easier for us to convince other
retail pharmacy chains to sell
our products.

a potential stake in ISG.
When asked if the rumours of a
stake sale were true and TAV could be
the potential buyer in question, a rep-
resentative from the Turkish firm told
The Edge Financial Daily last Friday:
“We cannot confirm any media news.”
However, during an interview
with Bloomberg TV last month, TAV
CFO Burcu Geris said that the air-
port operator was still interested in
a stake in ISG.
“We are always interested in deals
in Turkey, especially those in Istan-
bul. Our interest continues but it’s
just we are on a wait-and-see mode,
and there is no active process going
for the franchisees, which is 10% of
the outlet’s gross profit.
Hon said that apart from expand-
ing the number of Bioalpha outlets,
the group is also seeking to acquire
other retail pharmacy chains.
“We are looking at acquiring re-
tail pharmacy chains with two to 50
outlets … brand owner with a strong
brand for health supplements, func-
tional food or personal-care prod-
ucts, and maybe with manufacturing
facilities,” he said.
“We have enough cash for work-
ing capital at the moment, but we
may look into possibility to raise ad-
ditional capital if any M&A (merger
and acquisition) is going to happen,”
he added.
Bioalpha was in a net cash po-
sition of two sen per share as at the
end of the first quarter of this year.
Based on the group’s current pros-
pects, Hon expects Bioalpha to pay
a higher dividend as well.
“We will definitely pay dividend
this year, the amount depends on our
bottom line, I would say it is going
to be better than last year,” he said.
Bioalpha’s share price fell 0.5 sen
or 1.96% to 25 sen last Friday, with
a market capitalisation of RM202.37
million.
on among us at the moment,” she
told Bloomberg TV.
Incidentally, last week, MAHB
said ISG which is celebrating its 10th
anniversary this year, experienced
increased capacity to 41 million pas-
sengers per annum (mppa) from
33 mppa with the recent opening
of its new domestic boarding hall.
The new boarding hall, meas-
uring 26,000 sq m and constructed
at €26 million (RM122.8 million),
is the first link in the chain of in-
vestment projects in ISG’s 10th
year of operations.
MAHB, Turkey’s Limak Group
and India’s GMR Infrastructure
Ltd formed a 20-40-40 consorti-
um in 2008 for the development of
the green field ISG with a capacity
of 25 million passengers at a cost
of €1.93 billion. In 2014, MAHB
raised its holding in ISG to 60%
after acquiring GMR’s 40% stake
for €209 million. Later that year, it
bought the remaining 40% from
Limak for €285 million.
To date, MAHB has yet to turn
around the loss-making ISG. For
the financial year ended Dec 31,
2017, the Turkish airport and re-
lated commercial operations regis-
tered a loss before tax of RM287.5
million on the back of a revenue
of RM1.086 billion.

Love is in the air for AirAsia and Tinder
Any future partnership between the two parties would be housed under travel.360, says Aireen
BY SA M A N THA H O
KUALA LUMPUR: In early July, a
simple switch of seats by two pas-
sengers on an Alaska Airlines flight
fuelled a viral story of a blooming
romance. Coincidentally, AirAsia
Group Bhd was also ready to play
matchmaker in the sky at the time.
It announced on July 11 that it
was partnering dating app Tinder
to offer Korean-pop fans in se-
lected Southeast Asian countries
the chance to catch South Korean
singer Seungri’s first solo concert
in August.
The contest may seem like noth-
ing more than a marketing gim-
mick but to AirAsia, it represents
a pilot project that could pave the
way for greater collaboration be-
tween itself and Tinder, according
to AirAsia deputy group chief ex-
ecutive officer (CEO) Aireen Omar.
“Right now, we’re running that
contest so that it (Tinder) can see
how well placed we are in this part
of the world in getting that trac-
tion,” she told The Edge Financial
Daily in an interview. The group
had previously partnered Tinder
for its “Meet Malaysia” campaign,
which was aimed at attracting vis-
itors from New Zealand and Aus-
tralia to the country.
Any future partnership between
the two parties would be housed
under travel.360, an entity that has
evolved from an in-flight magazine
to what AirAsia wants — a one-
stop travel portal, Aireen added.
“It’s about creating a community
in travel.360. Tinder could [support
us] in terms of knowing like-mind-
ed people that want to travel and
explore the same places. We pro-
vide that platform,” Aireen shared.
While the airline is building
travel.360, complement to vid-
eo-based travelling companion
Vidi, it is also in the midst of di-
vesting of its 25% stake in AAE
Travel Pte Ltd — the operator of
travel booking site Expedia.
“Expedia had that function, but
it wasn’t moving in a direction that
we would [have] liked,” Aireen said,
although she added that its joint
Kok: Better export prospects for palm oil in 2H18
KUALA LUMPUR: The export pros-
pects for Malaysian palm oil in the
second half of 2018 (2H18) look
positive, as the primary industries
ministry has set its eyes on wooing
more buyers from China, the world’s
second-largest economy and one of
Malaysia’s top three palm oil con-
sumers, said Primary Industries
Minister Teresa Kok Suh Sim.
Her mission, when she joins
Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir
Mohamad on his official visit to
China later this month, would be
to persuade China to increase its
offtake of Malaysian palm oil for
the manufacture of food products
venture with US-based Expedia Inc
had given the group value for its
investment. The group in 2015 di-
vested of 25% of AAE Travel shares
in Expedia for US$86.25 million.
“We felt that we’ve optimised
what we can do with that. We
thought it was about time that we
monetised it and built something
bigger that we could [use to] create
a far better reach and value with,”
she said.
‘We don’t need Alibaba’s DFTZ’
travel.360 and Vidi are just two of
AirAsia’s many units soon to be
housed under the airline’s digital
arm, Redbeat Ventures Sdn Bhd,
which will also include logistics
arm, RedBox Logistics and Red
Cargo.
Both these units will leverage
on the extra belly space that AirA-
sia has on its planes, with plans
for Red Cargo to manage and sell
space to delivery service RedBox as
well as other e-commerce agents
in the region, Aireen said.
“We have the network, the fre-
quency and we have the scale,”
Aireen said, adding that the econ-
omies of scale enable the airline to
offer better rates to its customers.
She emphasised that roping
in former CEO of Pos Malaysia
Bhd, Datuk Mohd Shukrie Mohd
Salleh, to helm RedBox Logistics
was proof of AirAsia’s commitment
to making the venture a success.
However, AirAsia is not the only
one with big dreams for the logis-
tics industry in Malaysia. In March
2017, Chinese e-commerce giant
Alibaba Group and the Malaysian
government announced a partner-
ship to develop the Digital Free
Trade Zone (DFTZ), which would
see the development of not just
a digital e-World Trade Platform
to boost e-commerce, but also
an Alibaba’s logistics hub for the
Asean region at KLIA Aeropolis
in Sepang.
Asked if AirAsia would be in-
volved in the DFTZ, Aireen said:
“I think we’re able to build on our
own capabilities. We’re big enough
to know what we need [and] how
and to lure them to the Malaysian
shores to establish palm oil-related
businesses.
Last year, China imported 1.92
million tonnes of palm oil from
Malaysia, the second-largest pro-
ducer after Indonesia, behind In-
dia which imported 2.03 million
tonnes and the European Union
(1.99 million tonnes).
Cumulatively, these three ac-
counted for almost 36% of Malay-
sia’s total palm oil exports in 2017
of 16.559 million tonnes valued at
RM50 billion.
Total exports of palm oil prod-
ucts last year stood at 23.974 million
Aireen emphasises that roping in former CEO of Pos Malaysia Bhd to helm RedBox
Logistics was proof of AirAsia’s commitment to making the venture a success.

we can build it with the right busi-
ness plans, leveraging on what we
already have.”
Part of this involves ensuring
that there is enough logistical
space in the airports it flies to, as
well as in any low-cost carrier ter-
minal that may potentially be built,
she said. Having smooth custom
facilitation is also important due
to how quickly consumers hope
to receive their online purchases.
“That also brings up [the issue
of ] making sure that Asean in-
tegration is actually done at the
speed that it should be to facilitate
this growth.
“It’s not just about open skies
[under] the Asean Single Avia-
tion Market, it’s also about trade
facilitation, the Asean single win-
dow, that ensures that once goods
come into one Asean country, they
would be able to move around free-
ly within the region,” she added.
In an increasingly competitive
e-commerce and courier services
industry, AirAsia believes it can
also differentiate itself as a logis-
tics provider when it comes to re-
gional shopping.
“Whether it’s for the masses or
the high-end products, whether
it’s locally produced from various
tonnes, worth RM74.738 billion,
versus 23.294 tonnes in 2016 valued
at RM64.591 billion, according to
statistics published by the Malay-
sian Palm Oil Board.
Kok is bent on inviting Chinese
investors to partake actively in
manufacturing palm oil-based
products in Malaysia itself and
then export the products back to
China.
“Prior to our bilateral visit, lat-
er this month, I actually went to
China, on a private visit, and met
some representatives from gov-
ernment-linked companies and
government agencies there ,” she

Asean countries, we get these ide-
as from seeing what our passen-
gers bring on board, and even our
own staff. They come back with a
list of things not just for them but
for their family or for their neigh-
bours,” said Aireen.
“[What we’re saying is,] you don’t
need to carry all of those things, we
[can] deliver them straight to your
house,” she added.
Better forex rates with BigPay
Another way the airline aims to
improve regional shopping experi-
ence is with the launch of BigPay,
which it wants to build as a “digi-
tal bank”. The service is currently
equipped with a unique Master-
card and allows users to spend
at over 35 million merchants, as
well as withdraw cash from ATMs
globally.
Consumers are able to not only
transfer money and remittances
through the application, but also
to enjoy better foreign exchange
(forex) rates, Aireen said.
“We have obtained necessary
licence in each country to be able
to provide that facility — so it’s not
just a typical transfer of money,”
she added.
BigPay group CEO and co-found-
said, adding that there was over-
whelming response from inves-
tors, expressing interest to come
to Malaysia and do business here.
The physical price for crude
palm oil, as of last Friday, stood at
RM2,190 per tonne.
As at end-June 2018, the palm
oil inventory had increased 43% to
2.19 million tonnes from the same
period a year ago with exports stag-
nant at 1.13 million tonnes.
She further explained that it
was not only important to get Chi-
nese investors to come here, but
also consistently follow up with
them on making Malaysia their
er, Christopher Davison, explained
that the service is fully supported
by regulators as it passes “real sav-
ings onto its customers”.
As one of Bank Negara Malay-
sia’s 40 licensed e-money issuers,
how can BigPay differentiate itself
in a crowded marketplace?
“Competition is good for every-
one, including BigPay. More play-
ers coming into the market will
actually encourage widespread
adoption and a move away from
cash and traditional financial ser-
vices,” Davison said.
He added that BigPay is dif-
ferent from other mobile wallets
such as GrabPay because it is not
based on merchant acquiring or
promotions.
“BigPay is a platform that will
offer you an everyday alternative
to your bank which you can use all
around the world, but with low-
er fees, more transparent foreign
exchange rates and soon we are
planning to offer better value credit
and remittances,” he said.
According to Aireen, AirAsia
is still keen on the tokenisation
of its Big Loyalty points, possibly
by converting them into a block-
chain-based cryptocurrency.
“But we have to be sure on how
we build this, because we want to
ensure that it is a stable currency,
that our own consumers have con-
fidence in using it, we don’t want it
to be a volatile, unstable currency
that people would be shying away
from,” Aireen said.
“We’re hoping to see how we
can create this by this year. We’re
quite serious about it and we want
to do so very soon,” she added.
It seems that there is no end in
sight to the updates that AirAsia
has for its consumers, and Aireen
admits that “you won’t get perfect
offerings right now because we’re
still building them”.
However, AirAsia will contin-
ue introducing changes “piece by
piece”.
“We know what we need to
achieve, but not everything will
happen in one go because it will
[all] be built in stages,” she said.
investment destination.
“This is what we are focusing on
right now. My ministry is working
on some memoranda of under-
standing and we hope to even seal
some agreements during the forth-
coming visit.
“If we can convince them, dur-
ing the upcoming trade mission,
the prospects for the second half
not only look good but we can im-
prove our palm oil exports to Chi-
na,” she said, adding that besides
the republic, other markets on the
ministry’s radar included the Afri-
can continent, the Philippines, Iran
and India. — Bernama

BY H E N R I QU E A L MEI DA
LISBON: From the fi fth floor of
the Banco BPI building in down-
town Lisbon, chief executive of-
ficer Pablo Forero can get a clear
view of the transformation taking
place in the Portuguese capital.
Outside the lemon-coloured
edifice, hundreds of tourists make
their way along the cobblestone
pavements to the riverfront Praca
do Comercio, once a hub for trad-
ers arriving on ships from all over
the world. New hotels, short-term
rental apartments and stores that
cater to a growing number of tour-
ists have been mushrooming in
the area over the last few years.
BPI sold the 200-year-old set
of buildings that occupy a whole
block last month for more than
€66 million (RM312.09 million) to
a German fund, joining the ranks
of trading houses and goldsmiths
that have been moving out of the
Portuguese capital’s famed Baixa
quarter. Over the years, some relo-

the city’s outskirts. Those that kept
their buildings in the downtown

“These accidents have dam-

week, citing four incidents in
recent weeks. “Local manag-

meet sales targets.” The analysts
kept their “reduce” rating on
the stock.
In a statement to Bloomberg

Hilton’s new luxury
brand is a ghost of
Blackstone’s past
BY PAT R IC K C L A R K
NEW YORK: Hilton Worldwide
Holdings Inc is getting ready to
start a new luxury brand, and its
name is one recycled from the past.
Hilton has not formally an-
nounced the new brand yet, but
provided a hint in a July 31 press re-
lease heralding the addition of three
new high-end hotels in Dubai. One
of the properties is a former St Regis
now known as the Habtoor Palace
Hotel. The property will belong to
LXR Hotels & Resorts, an “upcom-
ing luxury collection brand from
Hilton”, according to the statement.
The LXR name will probably be
obscure to hotel guests, but may
ring a bell for students of private eq-
uity investments in the hospitality
industry. Back in 2005, Blackstone
Group LP launched LXR Luxury
Resorts, using the brand to repo-
sition 14 high-end hotels the firm
acquired when it bought out Wyn-
dham International Inc.
After Blackstone acquired Hilton
in 2007, many LXR properties were
reflagged under Hilton brands, in-
cluding El Conquistador Resort in
Puerto Rico and Casa Marina Key
West, which became Waldorf Astoria
resorts. Blackstone took Hilton public
in 2013, and sold its remaining stake
in the company earlier this year.
A Hilton spokesman confirmed
that the company expects to launch
LXR later this year.
Chief executive officer Chris
Nassetta has touted the compa-
ny’s plans to add brands in 2018,
including a “hostel on steroids”, and
a new brand that is slightly more
upscale than the Hilton flagship.
LXR appears to be a soft brand,
meaning that the properties would
maintain their individual identities
while enjoying the services of a ma-
jor hotel company. — Bloomberg

No water tariff hike in Selangor
MB Amirudin: At the moment, we are still able to bear the costs
SHAH ALAM: The Selangor gov-
ernment guarantees that water
tariffs in the state, Kuala Lumpur
and Putrajaya will not be raised at
this juncture but that it would be
dependent on the capability of the
administration in the future.
Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari

consider all matters and related

cost to produce clean water.
“At the moment, there is no [wa-
ter tariff ] hike and we will continue

PUTRAJAYA: The women, fam-

gether with the religious affairs
minister at the Prime Minister’s
Department, Datuk Dr Mujahid
Yusof Rawa, to raise the mini-
mum legal age for marriage in
all relevant laws to 18 years old.
The ministry said this would
involve the Islamic Family Law
(Federal Territory) Act 1984, Is-
lamic Family Law Ordinance
(Sarawak) 2001, Islamic Family
Law Enactments of each state,
Law Reform (Marriage and Di-
vorce) Act 1976, and customary
laws of ethnic groups in Sarawak.
It said the government
also welcomed the timely an-
nouncement by the Selangor
Islamic Religious Council on
its suggestion to raise the mini-
mum age for marriage for Mus-
lim girls in the state to 18.
“It is hoped that similar ini-
tiatives are spearheaded by all
states towards a standardised
minimum age for marriage in
Malaysia,” said the ministry
in a statement here yesterday.
The ministry said the recent
case of child marriage involving
a 41-year old man and an 11
year-old Thai girl in Kelantan
had exposed the larger picture
of thousands of child marriages
across Malaysia.
“This is a systemic problem
that needs a thorough root-
cause analysis and permanent
far-reaching solution,” it said.
The ministry also reiterated its
stance that it strongly opposed
marriages involving young chil-
dren, especially to an adult.
The ministry said these chil-
dren were deprived of their
rights to health, education,
safety and overall personal
development. — Bernama

Thanks, but no thanks
Sungai Kandis voters decline Najib who helmed the Sungai Kandis campaign instead of Zahid
BY M O H SI N A B D U L L A H
A
s the result of the Sun-
gai Kandis by-elec-
tion was being offi-
cially announced, an
old journalist friend
reminded me that
Barisan Nasional (BN) had lost de-
spite their campaign being spear-
headed by former prime minister
Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Mohd Zawawi Ahmad Mughni
of PKR polled 15,427 votes against
9,585 for Datuk Lokman Noor Adam
of BN to win the by-election on
Saturday — which had been called
following the death of Mat Shuhai-
mi Shafiei of PKR on July 2.
Singapore’s newsdaily The Straits
Times in its report on the outcome
of the by-election put it this way:
“Observers noted that Najib was
apparently helming the Sg Kandis
campaign instead of new president
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi”.
Which brings me to the question
asked by quite a substantial number
of ordinary Umno members, albe-
it quietly, long before the Sungai
Kandis campaign period started:
“Why does Zahid choose to remain
in the shadow of Najib and not be
his own self as president?”
That being or rather seen as Za-
hid’s stand, Najib “took charge”
and campaigned in Sungai Kan-
dis to the dismay of “some” Umno
folks as highlighted by one Zaharin
Mohd Yasin.
Zaharin is one who you might
say is an Umno activist. Or as some
people see it “an Umno operative”.
A day after Najib went to Sungai
US escalates China trade dispute to seek breakthrough
BY JOHN KEMP
THE US has adopted an “escalate to
negotiate” strategy towards China,
threatening a dramatic hike in tar-
iffs to try to force a resumption of
trade talks while the US economy
remains strong and as elections
approach in November.
US President Donald Trump
has reportedly rejected a plan to
levy tariffs of 10% on an additional
US$200 billion (RM816 billion) of
imports from China and ordered
aides to prepare a proposal for tar-
iffs at the higher rate of 25%.
The levies are in addition to the
tariffs on US$34 billion of imports
that have already gone into effect
and the US$16 billion of tariffs an-
nounced but not yet implemented.
The administration’s approach
to China is the same one it has
employed in dealing with North
Korea, Iran, the European Union
Kandis, Zaharin posted on Face-
book a video of him calling upon
“Najib jangan menyibuk urusan
Umno”. To put that politely in Eng-
lish, that would be “Najib, do not
meddle in Umno affairs”.
Well, “meddle” Najib did. Not
that BN was expected to win Sun-
gai Kandis, but now that it has lost,
that defeat — said The Straits Times
— “might now be placed on Najib’s
lap by his critics”.
I agree with the Singapore pa-
per on this. After all to Zaharin and
company: “Najib’s political career
is finished”.
Political analyst Asrul Hadi
Abdullah Sani was quoted by The
Straits Times as saying “I think Najib
no longer commands the support
of the people especially after this
result. Umno must push forward
and Zahid as the president must
be the face of the party”.
I do not see that happening.
At least not immediately. So
Najib will most likely keep “med-
dling” in the Seri Setia by-election
campaign and even in Balakong
although Umno will not be contes-
ing in Balakong as it is not a Malay-
majority constituency.
Both constituencies will see
by-elections soon.
That would mean Najib would
have it his way. That would mean
that the Umno-Pas cooperation
such as that which was “fostered”
in Sungai Kandis will continue.
This is a given considering the
pledge made by Umno deputy pres-
ident Datuk Seri Mohamad Hassan
that Umno will make way for Pas to
contest Seri Setia to return the favour
to Pas for sitting out Sungai Kandis.
But to Umno people like Zaharin
that cooperation with Pas must end
(EU) and Nafta partners.
The basic strategy, including the
risks and opportunities, will be fa-
miliar to anyone who has studied
the Cold War confrontation with the
Soviet Union (On escalation: meta-
phors and scenarios, Kahn, 1965).
The administration’s decision
to escalate the confrontation dra-
matically at this point, threatening
significant tariffs on a wide range of
imports, including consumer items,
is likely to stem from a combination
of strength and fear.
Escalation dominance
So far, the trade war appears to have
hit China’s economy and financial
markets harder than the US, which
has given the administration con-
fidence that it is escalating from a
position of strength.
The US S&P500 equity index is
up by more than 5% since the start
of 2018, and 25% since the start of
2017, while China’s Shanghai com-
posite index has fallen by 13% and
7% respectively.
now “because we got played out by
them in Sungai Kandis “.
He was referring to Pas members
apparently not voting for the BN/
Umno candidate. This was despite
the “order” by Pas leaders to its mem-
bers to vote for Datuk Lokman Adam.
Political observer Mohamad
Sayuti Omar had this to say: “The
Umno-Pas combination did not
work out in Sungai Kandis. Pas
voters did not come out to vote.
Pas grassroots still cannot accept
Umno. Asking them to support
Umno is a mistake which can put
Pas in danger later on”.
To Lokman though, Sungai Kan-
dis is the beginning of an Umno-Pas
collaboration. He expects things to
get better.
The US dollar has strengthened
by 5% against China’s yuan since the
beginning of the year and has risen
by around 3% on a trade-weighted
basis against the currencies of other
major US trading partners.
China’s economy has shown
signs of slowing, with the central
government resorting to fiscal and
monetary stimulus to offset the
slowdown in external demand and
boost confidence.
In contrast, the US economy
expanded at an annualised rate
of 4.1% in the second quarter, the
fastest for almost four years, accord-
ing to advance estimates (https://
tmsnrt.rs/2O3VJZS).
US manufacturers have reported
a broad-based upturn in business
activity in recent months, while
consumer confidence is close to
multi-decade highs.
The asymmetric economic and
financial performance of the US
and China has convinced the White
House it has “escalation dominance”
and should press home its advantage.

So we can expect to hear Umno
leaders “ordering” their members to
vote for the Pas candidate in Seri Setia. not have anything new to play up”.
Whether they will abide by that in-
struction is a different matter. Based
on what Pas did or did not do at Sun-
gai Kandis, Umno members voting
will not be likely voting for the Pas
candidate. Tit for tat perhaps?
Nonetheless based on the Sungai
Kandis result, analysts are saying
the obvious — an Umno-Pas co-
operation is not capable of under-
mining PKR/Pakatan Harapan. Yet.
Analysts also agree with political
observers and commentators that
Sungai Kandis “has shown that race
and religion cards cannot bring in Mohsin Abdullah is contributing
the support that is desired”.
In Sungai Kandis, Umno and politics for over four decades.
The White House strategy has
been to escalate pre-emptively, se-
cure in the belief China has more to
lose than the US on each of the next
few rungs up the escalation ladder.
Until now, China has matched
US tariff moves but not sought to
escalate them, which has also prob-
ably also emboldened the White
House to think it holds a stronger
position on the escalation ladder.
Temporary advantege?
But if the White House thinks it
is escalating from a position of
strength, it probably also fears
strength may not last forever and
could diminish the longer the con-
flict lasts.
Rapid US gross domestic prod-
uct growth in the second quarter
was mostly the result of tax cuts,
which stimulated consumer spend-
ing, as well as a race to export soy-
beans and beat the tariffs.
Growth in the third and fourth
quarters is likely to be slower as these
temporary effects unwind and the
Pas unabashedly used or misused
religion and race issues in their at-
tempt to win the Malay votes.
As we know Umno leader Da-
tuk Tajuddin Abdul Rahman even
went to the extent of urging the
predominantly Malay voters not to
support a “Christian-led” Pakatan
Harapan government — alleging
that “Christian DAP politicians are
using their positions in government
to evangelise.”
To former Umno Youth head
Khairy Jamaluddin all that: “... is
Umno’s existential dilemma now.
Some still use rhetoric like Christian
DAP etc. But some are still sane”.
So said Khairy on twitter.
Question is will the “sane” act
on the, pardon the expression, “in-
sane”? Khairy on his part is finding
himself isolated within his party
with even Umno-controlled media
not giving him coverage.
Sayuti has this to add: “Race and
religion cards are now outdated.
They did not work during GE 14. But
the fact that Umno and Pas are still
using them show both parties do
Still expect both parties to use
race and religion as well as the Chris-
tian rhetoric — not only in trying to
win Seri Setia but all the way to GE
15 as well. Meaning race and religion
are a continuous narrative.
There are lessons to be learned
from Sungai Kandis. Will Umno
and Pas for that matter learn an-
ything from it? No. That is bad for
the country. There is just one word
to describe that — sad.

baseline for quarter-on-quarter com-
parisons becomes more challenging.
Economic expansions tend to
be cyclical, and even within each
expansion there are spurts of rapid
growth followed by more sluggish
intervals, so the administration
cannot count on the recent spurt
to be sustained.
Businesses are already starting
to report widespread increases in
input costs, in part as a result of
steel and aluminium tariffs. Con-
sumer price inflation is also rising
and starting to erode the real value

So far, the administration has
tried to avoid imposing tariffs on
consumer items in order to avoid
politically controversial price rises
at retail level.
But if the US were to be forced
to carry out its threat and it actually
imposes 25% tariffs on US$200 bil-
lion worth of additional items from
China — hitting consumer goods
will become inevitable.

Huawei in British spotlight over use of software
BY JACK STUBBS & JOSEPH MENN
LONDON/SAN FRANCISCO: Hua-
wei Technologies is facing increased
scrutiny in Britain because it is using
an ageing software component sold
by a firm based in the US, one of the
countries where lawmakers allege
its equipment could facilitate Chi-
nese spying, sources told Reuters.

BY D EB BY WU
TAIPEI: A computer virus halt-
ed several Taiwan Semiconduc-
tor Manufacturing Co (TSMC)
factories last Friday night, deal-
ing the company one of its most
severe disruptions as it ramps
up chipmaking for Apple Inc’s
next iPhones.
The sole maker of the iP-
hone’s main processor said
a number of its fabrication
tools had been infected, and
while it had contained the
problem and resumed some
production, several of its fac-
tories would not restart until
at least yesterday. The virus
was not introduced by a hack-
er, the company added in a
statement.
It is unclear who target-
ed TSMC, the world’s biggest
contract manufacturer of chips
for companies including Ap-
ple and Qualcomm Inc. It was
the first time a virus had ever
brought down a TSMC facili-
ty, recalling the WannaCry cy-
berattacks of 2017 that forced
corporations around the world
to suspend operations as they
rooted out the ransomware.
TSMC is working on solutions
now but said the degree of in-
fection varied from factory to
factory, and that it would pro-
vide more information today
after it assessed the situation.

Only casualties will dissuade Trump from tariff battle
BY G I N A C H O N
WASHINGTON: Casualties may
be the only factor that dissuades
US President Donald Trump from
a trade war. The White House is
considering increasing tariffs on
US$200 billion (RM816 billion)
worth of Chinese imports from 10%
to 25%. Big firms like Caterpillar
can absorb the cost, but an esca-
lating battle could force smaller
businesses to close or fire workers.
The tit-for-tat tariffs keep get-
ting worse. The Trump admin-
istration has imposed duties on
imports of steel, aluminium and
Chinese goods, sparking global
retaliation. Last Friday, China an-
how trade wars and heightened na-
tional security concerns are making
it harder for technology firms and
governments to safeguard products
and communication networks.
A report last month by a British
government oversight board charged
with analysing Huawei equipment
said it had found technical and sup-
ply chain “shortcomings” which ex-
posed the country’s telecoms net-
works to new security risks.

US has upper hand
in China trade war
Trump: Tariffs are working far better than anyone ever anticipated
BY M ARGAR ET TALEV
WASHINGTON: US President Don-
ald Trump defended his use of tar-
iffs that have inflamed tensions
with China and Europe, telling an
audience of diehard supporters on
Saturday that playing hardball on
trade was “my thing”.
“We have really rebuilt China,
and it is time that we rebuild our
own country now,” Trump said on
Saturday during about an hour of
free-wheeling remarks at a rally
outside Columbus, Ohio. He add-
ed that Chinese stocks were down,
weakening that nation’s bargaining
power in the escalating trade war.
Hours before the rally, Trump
posted a string of tweets on the issue,
saying the US market was “stronger
than ever”, while the Chinese mar-
ket “has dropped 27% in last four
months, and they are talking to us”.
It is unclear which measure of
Chinese stocks Trump was referring
to. The US S&P 500 index, a broad
measure of major US companies,
has yet to regain highs made in Jan-
uary, just before the escalation of
trade tensions initiated by the US.
“Tariffs are working far better than
anyone ever anticipated” and would
nounced that it was considering
a range of tariffs on US$60 billion
worth of US goods.
Large corporations like Gener-
al Motors have warned of pain to
come, but the levies will not cause
their demise. Earlier last week,
Caterpillar said tariffs on metals
and parts would raise its materi-
al costs by US$200 million in the
second half of this year. But the
company probably can pass most
of that increase on to its custom-
ers to help offset those expenses.
It could also take longer to see
the overall effects of the trade war
given the healthy US economy.

today”, the president tweeted.
At the rally, Trump added that
the Europeans were “dying to make
a deal”.
Trump went to Lewis Center,
Ohio to stump for Troy Balderson.
The Republican state senator is fac-
ing an unexpectedly close contest
against Democrat Danny O’Connor
in an Aug 7 special election for the
expectations, especially given the
high level of job openings. Busi-
nesses have told lawmakers that
the tariffs have halted expansion,
increased costs or slashed sales.
Trump has acknowledged the
pain faced by farmers, calling Chi-
na’s targeting of them “vicious”. The
administration is using a govern-
ment-owned credit agency to pro-
vide US$12 billion in aid, reflecting
worries about a core base of the
president’s supporters. A study
by the US Chamber of Commerce
found that American businesses

lion in assistance, including US$7.6

Meanwhile, companies like
Missouri-based Mid Continent
Nail are suffering. The firm had
doubled in size after it was bought
by Mexico’s DeAcero in 2012 but
it recently laid off 26% of its 500
workers because of a 70% drop
in orders due to the steel tariffs.
Chris Pratt, a general manager of
Mid Continent, wrote in the Wall
Street Journal that many colleagues
still had faith in Trump “but time
is running out”.
Stories like that are more likely
to move Trump, partly because
they represent his base. It may re-
quire a heavy toll, though, for the
president to call a truce. — Reuters

SINGAPORE/BEIJING: A senior

China hopes Australia will not voice

Relations soured last year when
Australian Prime Minister Mal-

Bangladesh shuts down mobile Internet due to protests
DHAKA: Bangladesh authorities
have shut down mobile Internet
across swathes of the country, of-
ficials and local media said yester-
day, as the authorities try to quell
massive student protests that have
spiralled into violence.
For the last week, students have
brought parts of the capital Dhaka
to a standstill with a protest against
poor road safety after two teenag-
ers were killed by a speeding bus.
On Saturday, the protests took
a violent turn in Dhaka’s Jigatala
neighbourhood with more than
100 people injured.
Witnesses said police fired rubber
bullets and tear gas at demonstra-
tors and that alleged pro-govern-
ment activists attacked youngsters,
including some of those rushing to
nearby hospitals for treatment.
“I am fine, I am alive, and after
this attack I am more determined
than ever to follow the path of the
revolution,” said the 55-year-old
following an alleged attack with an
explosive-laden drone as he gave a
speech at a Caracas military parade.
He was unharmed, but accord-
ing to the government, seven sol-
diers were injured.
“Justice! Maximum punish-
ment! There will be no forgive-
ness!” Maduro fumed hours later,
as he blamed the incident on Co-
lombia’s outgoing President Juan
Manuel Santos and financiers in
the US. A mysterious rebel group
also claimed responsibility for the
alleged attack.
despite Australia proposing dates
in May and the process usually
taking weeks, sources told Reuters
last Wednesday.
“We hope that, through the ef-
forts of both sides, we can soon re-
turn bilateral relations to a healthy
and stable development track,” Chi-
nese State Councillor Wang Yi told
reporters at a regional forum in
Singapore.
“To achieve this, we hope that
Australia can do more that is in the
interest of increasing mutual trust
between the two countries, and
not be groundlessly suspicious,” he
said, after a meeting with Bishop.
Both sides had agreed to make
efforts to improve relations and had
also exchanged views about trade
The country’s highest circulat-
ed newspaper Prothom Alo said
3G and 4G Internet services have
been shut down for 24 hours since
late on Saturday, shortly after the
violence broke out.
Social media has been filled
with comments from Bangladeshis
unable to access the Internet via
their phones, although wireless
and wired networks appear to be
unhindered.
Jahirul Haq, the chairman of the
Bangladesh Telecommunications

SINGAPORE: Amid anxiety

According to The Straits

concluded, be the world’s larg-
est free trade deal.
“All 10 Asean countries and

Asia security funding
This amounts to US$300m as China ups engagement in region
BY DAVID BRUNNSTROM

SINGAPORE: US Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo pledged on Saturday
to provide nearly US$300 million
(RM1.22 billion) in new security
funding for Southeast Asia, as China
forges ahead with plans to bolster
its engagement in the region.
Pompeo unveiled the figure to re-
porters on the sidelines of a meeting
of foreign ministers from the 10-mem-
ber Asean and other officials from
around the world in Singapore.
“As part of our commitment to
advancing regional security in the
Indo-Pacific, the United States is
wan,” Mofa spokesman Andrew
Lee told CNA.
The ministry’s comments came
in the wake of an agreement be-
tween China and Asean on a draft
code of conduct that lays the foun-
dation for negotiations over the
disputed South China Sea.
The agreement was reached in
the annual ministerial meeting be-
tween China and Asean member
excited to announce nearly US$300
million in new funding to reinforce
security cooperation throughout
the entire region,” he said.
The new security assistance will
strengthen maritime security, devel-
op humanitarian assistance, peace-
keeping capabilities and counter
“transnational threats”, he added.
The US said earlier last week
it would invest US$113 million in
technology, energy and infrastruc-
ture initiatives in emerging Asia
which he called “a down payment
on a new era of US economic com-
mitment to the region”.
The US’ developing vision for a
“free and open Indo-Pacific” comes
states in Singapore last Thursday.
Though Taiwan holds Taiping
Island in the Spratly Island chain,
it was shut out of the agreement
because of its diplomatic isola-
tion and China’s suppression, but
Taiwan feels it should have a say.
Taiwan is a constructive mem-
ber of the international commu-
nity and has the will to deal with
issues related to the South China
at the same time as China ramps up its
influence as part of its Belt and Road
Initiative to bolster trade ties with na-
tions in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Analysts said a spiralling trade
dispute between Beijing and Wash-
ington could also ratchet up tensions
over other regional hotspots, such
as the South China Sea, claimed in
whole by China and in part by some
Southeast Asian nations.

diplomat, State Councillor Wang
Yi, told reporters at the same fo-
rum that China welcomed, and was

China’s reaction
remains
uncertain,
could pose risk
to US strategy
FROM PAGE 16
Until now, senior admin-
istration officials have made
great efforts to reassure inves-
tors and businesses that (a) tar-
iffs are unlikely to be imposed;
(b) even if imposed, the eco-
nomic impact will be small; (c)
the economy is strong enough
to weather any hit; and (d) the
short-term pain is worth the
long-term gains from resetting
relations with China.
However, if the White House
is forced to carry out its threat
to extend 25% tariffs to a much
wider range of items the fall-
out will be greater and pose
a more serious test of resolve
for investors and businesses.
Creating a crisis
Part of the strategy seems to
be to intensify the pressure on
China quickly through rapid es-
calation in the hope it will force
an early restart of negotiations
on advantageous terms and
permit de-escalation quickly,
before the economic damage
becomes too great.
If the White House can se-
cure an early resumption of
negotiations, or an early settle-
ment, even a partial one, it will
feature heavily in the political
campaign ahead of congres-
sional elections as a success-
ful example of the president’s
tough negotiating style.
The administration there-
fore has a strong incentive to
escalate quickly in the hope of
forcing a favourable outcome.
For the White House, the
economic and political cycles
favour a rapid escalation in the
hope of being able to claim an
equally quick victory before the
costs start to rise.
By bringing the conflict to a
crisis (in the Greek sense of “a
moment of decision”) the ad-
ministration hopes to end the
dispute or at least de-escalate
before the damage grows.
China’s reaction remains
uncertain, however, which in-
troduces a dangerous element
into the escalation strategy and
means it could backfire.
In the end, tariffs are a tax
on consumers, and if high tar-
iffs go into effect on consumer
items, and are sustained for any
length of time, the economic
and political fallout could be
considerable.
There are already some pre-
liminary signs that the global
economic expansion has start-
ed to slow under pressure from
higher oil prices and the costs
and uncertainty created by the
trade conflict.
If the US chooses to esca-
late rapidly while China elects
to ride out the attack and wait
for the costs to rebound on the
US and global economies, the
damage to both as well as third
countries could be extensive.

Government officials are facing a

WHEN the Acura NSX debuted at the Chi-
cago Auto Show in 1989, it featured such
newfangled technologies as an all-alu-
minium monocoque body, forged pistons
and titanium connecting rods.
At the time, it was regarded as the best
sports car ever produced by an Asian
brand.

ative to what you could buy it for, and it is

tique them, other than that they are way
too underappreciated. And they are a pure
driver’s car — so fun to drive. Acura fans
would argue it is a better car than a Ferrari.”
Honda actually started the NSX project
as far back as 1984, with a concept called
the HP-X, a mid-engine V6 that used tech-

ITF defends US$3b Davis
Cup revamp despite criticism
It claims new plans would deliver long-term benefits to players, nations and sponsors
BY PR I T HA SA RKA R
LONDON: The International Tennis
Federation (ITF) has hit back at ac-
cusations that there has been a lack
of transparency about the proposed
revamp of the Davis Cup and said
it was confident that the new plans
would deliver long-term benefits to

Tennis Australia had said in a

NANJING: Kento Momota be-
came the first Japanese man to
win the badminton World Cham-
pionships yesterday, putting be-
hind him a gambling scandal
that threatened to ruin his career.
The explosive 23-year-old
convincingly defeated China’s
highly promising Shi Yuqi 21-11,
21-13 in Nanjing.
Momota’s nascent career de-
scended into controversy in 2016
when Japanese badminton chiefs
suspended him for more than a
year for visiting an illegal casino,
denying him a place at the Rio
Olympics.
Momota, No 2 in the world at
the time, has been working his
way back to the top ever since
and the world-ranked seven is
currently in the form of his life.
But in Shi he faced another of
badminton’s rising stars.
The brilliantly agile 22-year-
old defeated legend Lin Dan and
Olympic champion Chen Long
on the way to the final to confirm
his newfound status as China’s
best player.
Shi and Momota had only
played each other once before,
Momota having the edge that
time — and he was to enjoy it
once more.
Shi, who was playing in front
of his home-province crowd, ap-
peared nervous early on.
He made a series of errors as
the favourite Momota clinched
the first game in 21 minutes, and
the Japanese star’s superiority
was even more apparent in the
second.
When the end came it was an
anti-climax — the shuttlecock
hitting the top of the net before
falling in Momota’s favour. The
Japanese apologised to his op-
ponent. — AFP

Wall Street ahead —US stocks gain as
upbeat earnings ease trade jitters
NEW YORK: US stocks advanced last
Friday as upbeat earnings helped investors
shrug off heightened trade anxieties and
weaker-than-expected July jobs growth.
For the week, the S&P 500 Index and
the Nasdaq gained ground, up 0.8% and
1% respectively, while the Dow Jones
Industrial Average was essentially flat. The
S&P 500 notched its fifth straight weekly
gain, its longest such streak of the year.
The second-quarter reporting season nears
its final stretch with 406 of the companies in
the S&P 500 having reported, 78.6% of which
came in above Street estimates, according
to Thomson Reuters data.
China launched its latest salvo in the
ongoing trade spat, unveiling new tariffs
on 5,207 goods imported from the US,
including liquefied natural gas and some
aircraft.
Earlier this week, Chinese officials
promised retribution after the US President
Donald Trump administration proposed
hiking tariffs to 25% on US$200 billion
worth of goods imported from China.
A report from the US Labor Department
showed the US economy added 157,000
jobs in July, fewer than the 190,000
economists expected, though the
unemployment rate edged down to 3.9%.
Other data showed the US trade deficit
surged 7.3% in June to US$46.3 billion, its
biggest increase since November 2016. The
politically sensitive trade gap with China
widened by 0.9% to US$33.5 billion.
“We have the trade numbers and we
have the continuation of the ongoing trade
war with China, which is not a good thing,
obviously,” said Michael Geraghty, equity
strategist at Cornerstone Capital Group.
“Some of the benefits of the tax cut will be
wearing off, in addition we have this trade
skirmish, so in my opinion investors will be
quite skittish in the second half of the year.”
Shares of Apple Inc rose modestly a day
after becoming the first publicly-traded US
company to reach US$1 trillion in market
value.
The S&P consumer staples sector
rose 1.2%. Its advance was led by Kraft
Heinz, up 8.6% after the packaged foods
company topped quarterly profit and
revenue estimates.
The Dow rose 0.54% to 25,462.58
points; the S&P 500 gained 0.46%, to
2,840.35; and the Nasdaq Composite
added 0.12% to 7,812.02.
Of the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500,
energy was the sole precentage loser. Oil
prices gave up gains from the previous
session, weighed upon by concerns about
trade and demand for crude, while hedge
funds and other money managers cut their
bullish crude bets this week.
Shares of Dish Network Corp jumped
14.5% following its better-than-expected
quarterly earnings report.
Executives for American International
Group Inc tried to downplay weak earnings
and promised a turnaround, but the insurer’s
shares dipped 2.7%.
Cyber security firm Symantec Corp was
among the biggest percentage losers on
the S&P, dropping 7.8% after announcing a
workforce reduction and lowering its yearly
revenue forecast.
Global markets — Most Southeast Asia
stocks end higher; Philippines up for
fourth straight week
BENGALURU: Most Southeast Asian stock
markets ended higher last Friday, with the
Philippines rising for a fourth straight week,
but gains were capped ahead of a US jobs
report which could provide cues on the pace
of US Federal Reserve interest rate hikes.
Sentiment in broader Asia was muted,
with Asian shares ex-Japan trading flat after
Beijing vowed last Thursday to retaliate to
the threat of higher tariffs from the US on
US$200 billion worth of Chinese imports.
Philippine shares ended 0.8% higher,
led by financials. The index is up more than
1.5% for the week. Ayala Corp, up 2%, was
the top contributor, while Metropolitan Bank
And Trust Co added 3.7%.
Thai shares ended 0.2% higher, with the
index extending gains to a fifth straight week.
Financials and real estate stocks outperformed
after data showed Thailand’s consumer
sentiment rose in July from a month earlier.
Among losers, Singapore dropped the
most, with the index closing 1.8% lower for
the week. Lender DBS Group Holdings was
the biggest drag on the benchmark for a
second straight session after reporting a
second-quarter profit last Thursday which
fell short of expectations.
Indonesian shares shed 0.1%, hurt
by losses in consumer discretionary and
telecom stocks. Indonesia’s central bank
forecast second-quarter economic growth
at 5.15%, with the governor saying that
pace, combined with low inflation showed
that “the national economy is running under
its capacity”.
Indonesia’s annual inflation rate edged
up in July due to rising food prices, data
released last Wednesday showed, but was
slightly below expectations.
Shares in China extended losses last
Friday for their worst week since February,
as Sino-US trade fears continue to cast
gloom over markets, while a vaccine
scandal undermined confidence in
consumer and healthcare firms, amid a
slow domestic growth rate. The Shanghai
Composite Index was down 1% and the
blue-ship CSI 300 Index lost 1.65%.
MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe
gained 0.35%, while the pan-European
FTSEurofirst 300 Index rose 0.67%.
Italy’s bonds had a volatile day, with
yields soaring to eight-week highs early in
the day over political tensions, then falling
back by the close. — Reuters
