Welcome bro. I am also a new player. Pending the reply from the sifus, please have a look at my siggy and do some further research. Please take out OldTown (overvalued now), Air Asia (volatile) and Ta Ann (downtrend).
Have a look at GENTING, TENAGA and Nestle if you want something "safe", i.e. the last to fall.
Good luck!

P/S: My preference is to have at least 5 different stocks in 5 different industries to minimise the risk.
what last to fall
Company's Earning drop will also affect the share price of its own.

Sorry, I don't understand your posting. Are you saying 5 stocks are too many stocks and in too many different sectors?

No problem on how you allocate your money since it's your money.
Newbie I think 3-5stocks to monitor is good enough.
But still depends on capital.

Try have a look at 5205. It might have some potential on the upside. Anyway, i'm just a new leaner here. Any comment would be highly appreciated. Together we learn and improve.

22. Review of Group with Comparison to Last Year’s Corresponding Periods
The Group has secured RM1.8 billion new contracts for FY2016.
Out of the total revenue of RM1,574.6 million, 62.1% was contributed by the businesses in the MiddleEast
region, 14.3% by operations in Malaysia, 9.7% by operations in India, 13.4% from the Oil and Gas
segment and the remaining 0.5% from operation in Thailand.
Impact on fair value of financial assets of RM101.7 million, unrealised foreign exchange loss of RM15.5
million, provision for doubtful debts of RM63.9 million and the higher costs resulting from delays in
project funding and low utilisation of fabrication factory in the Oil and Gas segment has resulted in the
loss after tax of RM252.7 million in the current year as compared to last year’s profit after tax of RM61.5
million.
24. Prospects of the Group
During the current financial year ended 31 December 2016, the Group has secured approximately RM1.8
billion new contracts. As at 31 December 2016, the Group’s order book stood at approximately RM2.4
billion. Approximately 37.7% of the order book came from the Group’s traditional stronghold in the
Middle East region, 24.7% from South East Asia, 22.3% from India and the remaining 15.3% was from the Oil & Gas segment.
With the new projects secured up to 28 February 2017, resulting in our order book’s increase to
approximately RM3.0 billion, the Group is confident to achieve higher revenue and profitability going
forward especially with the recovery in the Oil & Gas industry.
Est. Order Book of 2.4bil:
i)Middle East Region - 905mil
ii)SEA - 593mil
iii)India - 535mil

That Profit margin around 3%.
One hell of a roller coaster ride.
