I thought MBSB not govern by BNM? It is belongs to EPF?

Not so easy to get approved. A lot of their products are for government servants only.

Boarding at MAS A380 to London, at least 80% occupancy rate and still wondering how MAS report loss year and year

I think MAS loses money on domestic routes.

U know what,  MBSB is also operating so  called shadow banking like the Ones in China ..

Shadow banking poses problem to Malaysia

http://www.malaysia-chronicle.com/index.ph...3#axzz2YQFLaexT

In Malaysia, it isn't clear just how large the shadow banking system is as they are not captured in any formal banking statistics. But some estimates put it at easily several hundred billions the amount of money loaned out. Among the more prominent shadow banks are lenders such as the Government-owned Bank Rakyat Malaysia Bhd (Bank Rakyat) and public-listed Malaysia Building Society Bhd (MBSB).

Few hundred Billions....in shadow banking

But no statistics kept and no controls......

Sad to see EPF entity is providing toxic loans in Billions....

A "shadow banking" crisis is looming if left unchecked and could potentially derail the Malaysian financial markets and economy.

Maybe now under the BNM watchdog .

bull is still strong so far. the drop is not fierce.
possibilities:
the bear is still selling slowly since they got so much to sell.
the bull has been waiting for too long, they are no longer patient to wait for too long and start buying on every dips opportunity.

which one was it that is happening now? those who can tell will be billionaire soon. 

my portfolio has been sideline so far. ranging within a 5% range. maybe because my stocks are quite diversified, this up that down like that. 

old daddy panamy also want to touch all time high. where is the bear? 

Aww all sold ?

Pre-kaching the dividend $$$ also good mah 

Personally think PANAMY can really hit RM30.

If like that mah forever cannot score a multiple 'bagger' loh 

Wow, MBSB took a beating. :swt:

If want to change counter, what counter best now? 
I sold at 305 after it triggered my break-even call (and some dinner plate).

Tempting. Thanks, I'll hook some into my watchlist. GAB or Carlsberg better? Lazy do homework for now. Maybe later before I buy. 

Ah Tan Tailou,

I object and I disagree.



I seriously think that you folks focused too much on the dividends issue.
Dividends in reality is just bonus given to the shareholders from THE PROFITS of the company.
It's just a bonus.
If you focus too much on the 'bonus', I feel that one loses objectivity and you know very well that any company can just give out bonus (dividends) without having good profits ( they can just borrow) and such bonus is usually not sustainable.

For Panamy..

Was it a the dividends that is crucial factor that drove the stock so high?

Panamy chart from start 2012.



What drove the stock higher to 22++?
When I made much noises about Panamy when it was around 22++, what was one factor I mentioned?
It then fell to 19.80++.
It started climbing since then. What changed? 

Was PROFITS a factor?

I suffer lo, thanks to Ceti. Not only MBSB, even my small banks also kena hentam, as well as largest bank in Malaysia also drop a bit
Luckily whenever some counters are performing badly, there are some who outperform, for me, this round is CBIP as well as HUPSENG. Waiting for MBL to catch up with CBIP.
