Some general information for all.



Petronas to invest RM250b next 5 years
KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), whose earnings in the third quarter ended Dec 31, 2010 (3QFY11) were hurt by the strong ringgit, plans to invest RM250 billion in exploration activities and the replacement of aging assets over the next five years, in order to sustain its current level of production.


S P Setia acquires land in Cyberjaya for RM3b project
CYBERJAYA: S P Setia Bhd has acquired 268.11 acres of freehold land in Cyberjaya from the township's master developer, Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd, for a total of RM420.4 million.


Market fundamentals still sound, say analysts
KUALA LUMPUR: The local stock market, which along with its regional peers had been affected by external factors, is still sound fundamentally and will likely receive support from domestic catalysts. The Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) and positive government newsflow are expected to lift the market in the second half of the year, said analysts.

More general information for all.



Palm Oil May Hit RM4,000
Analysts said Malaysian palm oil may hit RM4,000 a tonne on tight stocks in the immediate term and as competing soya oil gets increasingly channeled to the biofuel sector. Last week, palm oil was hovering about 12.5% below the key RM4,000 level, as traders grew concerned over high crude oil prices and the spreading Middle East unrest that is slowing economic growth. However, higher crude oil prices could increase biodiesel demand for soya oil in the America, leaving less for vegetable oil export markets and increasing demand for palm oil as substitute. Palm oil prices have been rallying since the last quarter of 2010 as erratic weather disrupt production, tightening stocks at a time of resilient demand.
Significance: Unrest in the Middle East might spike up the demand for palm oil as a substitute, increasing its price. However, heavy rains and floods submerging estates in key growing areas might limit Malaysia’s ability to meet this demand despite the higher prices.



Guan Chong Expanding On Production Capacity
Malaysia’s largest cocoa processor Guan Chong has commissioned its cocoa grinding plant in Batam, Indonesia, which is expected to improve earnings significantly. The plant boasts of an initial annual grinding capacity of 60,000 tonnes, increasing the group’s total production by 75 per cent to 140,000 tonnes a year, making Guan Chong one of the largest cocoa processors in Asia. Guan Chong ‘s existing 80,000 tonnes plant in Pasir Gudang, Johor is almost fully utilised due to a rise in global demand for its cocoa ingredients. With a grinding plant in Indonesia, Guan Chong can also benefit from processing zero-tariff raw materials. The plant in Pasir Gudang processes cocoa beans mainly from Indonesia, which recently started to impose export tax of up to 15% on Indonesia-produced cocoa beans on a schedular basis. Last year, Guan Chong posted a net profit of RM100m on a revenue of RM1.2b.
Significance: This expansion of production capacity helps the company to achieve greater economies of scale via lower raw material costs. Furthermore, this additional production capacity is also necessary to meet the escalating demand of cocoa and also helps the company to capture a larger market share and extend its regional footprint.




Media Prima Forms Integrated Sales Unit
In order to support sales integration initiatives within Media Prima’s platforms, an integrated sales unit has been formed and will be led by the new group general manager for Alt Media. The focus would be to sell integrated sales packages and solutions to clients and agencies. Besides that, several changes in the management of Media Prima have been made to establish itself as the leading content provider. These new appointments are strategic developments for Media Prima as new media convergence continues to drive new opportunities for the group.

More good news regarding BIMB.



Bank Islam keen on Bangladesh market




Published: 2011/03/02



Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd (5258), the country's oldest Islamic lender, is likely to buy a stake in a bank in Bangladesh this year with a partner from the South Asian nation, sources said.


The lender, which may be the first from Malaysia to enter that market, is said to be keen to tap the Islamic banking potential in the Muslim-majority state.

Bangladesh is also the world's eighth most populous nation.

Managing director Datuk Zukri Samat, when asked about it in an interview last week, confirmed that the group is "exploring" opportunities in Bangladesh, but declined to elaborate.

"We are keen to go to that market (but) we have nothing firmed up yet. Though it's largely a poor country, even if we assume that 10 per cent of its 200 million-odd population is bankable ... it makes it quite an exciting area that we want to look at and explore," he told Business Times.
Sources said it is unclear if the bank would be able to go for a majority stake.

Zukri, however, has said that in the event of an acquisition in any market, it would be important for Bank Islam to have influence on the target's operations even if it does not have a controlling stake.

Bank Islam is keen on expanding in the South Asian region.

lt already has a 12 per cent stake in Sri Lanka's Amana Investments Ltd, an Islamic financial solutions provider that Zukri said has recently been awarded an Islamic banking licence. It is expected to lift its stake in Amana soon.

Bank Islam, which is controlled by BIMB Holdings Bhd, has long voiced intentions to expand abroad, particularly in Indonesia.

Indonesia "remains on our radar", Zukri said, adding that the bank would want to go for majority control in any acquisition there.

Business Times reported last year that the group was pursuing a stake in Indonesia's PT Bank Muamalat.

It is understood that talks with certain shareholders of that bank had been going well until recently.

"We used to be quite advanced on that, we thought we were on the right track, and then somebody put a spanner there and then we couldn't go ahead," is all Zukri would say on the matter.

He could not say whether an acquisition in that market could happen this year.

"Something will happen immediately by this year, but maybe not that country, some other country," he remarked.

Bank Islam also plans to expand its reach at home, with plans to increase the number of its branches to at least 120 by the year-end from 113 now.

The group recently turned in a record profit before zakat and tax of RM503.4 million for the 18-month period to December 31 last year. (It changed its financial year-end to December to coincide with that of its ultimate parent, Lembaga Tabung Haji.)

Zukri said the bank plans to undertake more investment banking activities, a relatively new area of focus for the group, in a bid to increase contribution from its non-fund based income to 20 per cent over the next three years from 11 per cent now.

On another matter, he said he did not know whether the bank's Middle Eastern shareholder, Dubai Group LLC, was still looking to sell its 30.5 per cent stake, as reported last year.

BIMB has a 51 per cent stake in Bank Islam, while Lembaga Tabung Haji holds 20.5 per cent.

Now, friends & members, do you want to hold BIMB for mid or long term or you just do panic selling when BIMB share price is not moving up? My advice to you is to stay put!!
