anyway, dun care
follow my old plan
queueing at 0.93 now...haha~

Those hydro plants are usually quite small + they are far off from johor and Terengganu.

As for Bakun I personally think the submarine cable idea is too expensive, the gov't is always coming up with all sorts of stories about this consortium and that consortium going to implement the cable laying.

It won't happen!!!

So don't worry YTLPOWR surely will continue to operate the power plants in Malaysia, maybe even bigger ones than before. Just need to wait for the right timing for approval.

y nobody want to sell to me~~~~~~
dun force me get seller price terus lo~~~

Lol you always have confident on YTLPOWER

Your warrant B earn you a lot already ya I sold off too early at around 70 cents that time.

You are right, actually i think the undersea cable project chances are quite thin but how about HYDRO or NUCLEAR PLANT AT WEST MALAYSIA?

For nuclear plant the main concern will be on the disposal of nuclear waste i believe.

My average price for WB @ 0.93 , made some during Christmas but now kosong lor

Did shift a large part to BTOTO, so far no ang pau yet. Maybe mid march. hopefully.

West Malaysia is facing a water crisis and need to undergo massive peninsula wide restructuring but Selangor gov't playing political games, Najib very frustrated.

Not much available for Hydro Electric production, except some small dams here and there mostly in ulu areas.

Nuclear plant in an Islamic country?? Look at Iran. They claim it is for safe use (power generation) , but U.S. want to taruh them.

The best bet in my view for West Malaysia is gas powered power plants. Why? Because gas prices are quite low now and (over supply situation) we are in the part of the world with largest natural gas production- Indonesia is largest exporter.
Power Seraya will get it's gas for new power plant from Indonesia. If malaysia could use some of it's own + have a long term agreement with indonesia, we can have a good solution for power generation for the next few decades.

As petroleum prices are expected to go up in the coming years, natural gas might be the only way to go.

YTLPOWR with it's experience in new gas fired co-gen plant at power seraya can provide very good solutions for future power needs in Malaysia, but not so soon as we still have over capacity, at present about 40%. Maybe no need for new power plants for next few years.

Just my 2 cents.

yeap...considering these 2 counter...hehe~

Genting is down 15% since casino opened for business recently. Why?

(i) Could be it was pushed up too high ever since they got the casino license.

(ii) Singaporeans have to pay s$100 per visit to enter the casino. They want Genting to make money from foreigners and not from singaporeans.

(ii) For now it is the only casino, what will happen when their rival Vegas Sands opens for business on April 27th.

For the above reasons I won't touch Genting Singapore.

Genting Singapore is the most expensive Casino stock.

Like that like compare apple to durian leh...
but I would rather take YTLP, or Genting Bhd. Genting Singapore is last in my list, unless the price really attractive.

actually i'm in considering to invest in high div counter...
but all seems like quite expensive d..

CSCSTEEL RM1.67
ZHULIAN RM2.01
YTLPWR RM2.15
BJTOTO RM4.23
MPHB RM1.94


Well...BJTOTO is out of my list since it is too expensive for me..
how abt MPHB and YLTPOWER?....cscteel is also not a bad choice...

Each an every stocks have their own strength and weaknesses. You have to make your own decision.

I believe the power demand will climb once the 2 casinos start their operations. Therefore, power seraya have 2 combine cycle plants going to commission this year.

Hello fellow YTLP shareholders... congrats for the 3.75divvy

I'm reading through the report and from A7, Segment Reporting seems like all the revenues from various businesses have doubled compared to the previous qtr. Is there anything unusual that we should note here ? I mean uhm, power consumption suddenly spiked during the last 3 months ?

plz advice if i have left out anything important..

Company Name :YTL POWER INTERNATIONAL BHD
Date Announced :25/02/2010
EX-date :15/03/2010
Entitlement subject :Second interim dividend
Entitlement in percentage (%) :7.5

I assume you are talking about section A7 on the report under segmental reporting. It's not double, rather the sum shown is the accumulated value over 6 months.

Did not mention 7.5% liable to taxation, I assume is tax-free.

Yeah it's single tier, meaning taxed at company level.
