Huge turnout at launch of Dasar Komuniti NegaraDr M: We wish to build aff ordable houses that are suitable for families

KUALA LUMPUR: More than 5,000 people witnessed the offi cial launch of Dasar Komuniti Negara (DKN) or the National Commu-nity Policy yesterday in Puchong Indah, near here, by Prime Min-ister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

DKN is an initiative under the National Housing Policy 2.0 to im-prove the lives of PPR (Program Perumahan Rakyat) residents.

It is formulated by the Min-istry of Housing and Local Gov-ernment (KPKT) and supported by the Subang Jaya Municipal Council and EdgeProp.my.

In his speech, Dr Mahathir said the government is aiming to build one million affordable houses now but it will need the support of the private sector and the people.

“We wish to build aff ordable houses that are comfortable and suitable for families to stay in. It is pointless if the country is mov-ing forward but our people live in a poor environment,” he said.

One of the objectives of DKN is to improve the living environ-ment of the people, especially the Bottom 40% group, said KPKT

KUALA LUMPUR: Residents of several People’s Housing Projects (PPRs) in the country will soon benefi t from various corporate social responsibility (CSR) ini-tiatives by private sector com-panies under the government’s National Community Policy or Dasar Komuniti Negara (DKN).

To start the ball rolling, eight property developers and one property management firm, namely Country Garden Paci-fi cview Sdn Bhd, Gamuda Land Sdn Bhd, Mah Sing Group Bhd, MKH Bhd, OSK Property, Sun-suria Bhd, Sunway Group, UEM Sunrise Bhd and Henry Butcher Malaysia (Mont’Kiara) Sdn Bhd, have committed themselves to help the Bottom 40% (B40) group and PPR residents.

Thanks to them, selected PPRs will enjoy new facilities such as community library and even a children daycare centre while others will see their resi-dents being off ered food aid, job internship opportunities, free tuition classes and badminton courses.

Hoping to contribute to the success of DKN initiated by the Housing and Local Government

minister Zuraida Kamaruddin.“Th e fi rst objective of DKN is

to empower the local communi-ties and encourage the people to involve themselves more in com-munity activities such as to manage and take care of the public assets in the community,” she added at the launch.

Some 32 DKN activities are cur-rently ongoing in Lembah Subang 2 communities under the first phase of the programme.

KPKT aims to extend the pro-gramme to 20 more PPRs out of a total 133 in the country by this year.

Under DKN, KPKT is working with the private sector, including property developers, to upgrade the lives and living environment of PPR communities through corporate so-cial responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

Some of the property develop-ers involved are Gamuda Land Sdn Bhd, Mah Sing Group Bhd, MKH Bhd and OSK Property.

Firms make CSR commitments to enhance lives of PPR residents

Ministry (KPKT), each of them has or will adopt selected PPRs across the country and implement CSR activities aimed at enhancing the lives of PPR residents.

The collaborations between the public and private sectors for the CSR programme under DKN were facilitated by EdgeProp.my. Th e property portal has also cre-ated a dedicated website to raise awareness and educate the pub-lic about the policy and needs of PPR residents. Th e website, www.EdgeProp.my/DKN, provides a

summary of DKN’s objectives, why it is needed and how the public and companies can help.

Th e DKN, which was launched yesterday by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, aims to empower the B40 group and PPR communities and improve their living environment. In conjunc-tion with the launch, the Subang Jaya Municipal Council organised a Community Carnival in Puchong. Edgeprop.my and the nine par-ticipating companies showcased their proposed CSR commitments

to their respective PPRs. Repre-sentatives of the companies also received certifi cates of apprecia-tion at the launch event.

Country Garden Pacificview will be adopting two projects in Johor — PPR Tampoi and the fi rst phase of PPR Sungai Melana — and aims to enhance the livelihood and community engagement of the residents.

It plans to uplift the standard of living at the PPR projects by car-rying out road building and got-ong-royong activities at both sites. Th ere are also plans to repair the playground and sports facilities at PPR Sungai Melana while at PPR Tampoi, it wants to set up a chil-dren’s daycare centre.

Meanwhile, Gamuda Land has started its CSR eff ort at PPR Lem-bah Subang in Petaling Jaya with mural painting and a facility up-grade activity, which aims to turn one of the communal spaces into a learning centre for children.

UEM Sunrise has set up a com-munity library dubbed BookHub at the PPR that they adopted, which is the newly-completed PPR Uda Utama in Johor. Housing a commu-nal space in the PPR, the library, which off ers about 500 books, is completed and handed over to the residents on Feb 15.

EdgeProp.my is also supporting DKN by helping facilitate the part-nership between the public and private sectors to empower and improve the lives of PPR residents.

It also wants to raise aware-ness and educate the public about the policy and PPR needs through news coverage and oth-er articles as well as a dedicated website on the DKN.

A full-day carnival was held at the public field in Puchong Indah in conjunction with the launch of DKN.

Some of the activities of the day were a community cycling event, aerobics, kids’ soccer match, tug of war, colouring contest, an eco market and food trucks.

Th e public also had a chance to visit more than 40 booths showcasing the CSR works among PPRs by the participat-ing developers and EdgeProp.my as well as several non-govern-mental organisations and public service bodies.

Mah Sing, through the Mah Sing Foundation, has been carrying out a food aid programme at PPR Enggang in Puchong, Selangor and education programme at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Batu, where most of the students are living in PPR Batu Muda and PPR Pekan Batu in Kuala Lumpur.

Th e foundation is also working with non-governmental organisa-tions and relevant authorities to create community gardens within selected PPRs to off er spots of re-laxation for residents and where they can try their hand at growing vegetables.

Meanwhile, MKH is rolling out a Badminton Outreach Programme for PPR Lembah Subang 2 that is designed to promote healthy life-style among the PPR community through badminton. With the aim of ensuring long-term sustainabili-ty, the programme promotes sports leadership and social responsibility through training adults into com-munity coaches, who will further lead training for youths within the community.

Another developer, Sunsuria, will off er internship opportunities in job areas such as landscaping, general and clerical work, building mainte-nance and asset management, to res-idents of PPR projects located near the developer’s projects or offi ces.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE As for OSK Property, it is going to support the maintenance of PPR homes and promote a sense of neighbourliness among the res-idents at PPR Jalan Thamby in Penang. The developer will be working with the residents to car-ry out repainting activity at the vandalised areas in the fl at and rolling out community bonding activities such as gotong-royong and education programme.

Sunway Group will assist res-idents at PPR Pudu Ulu and PPR Muhibah, Jalan Puchong through a food programme, which is ex-pected to be rolled out in April. The integrated group has been providing food aid to the residents via the Sunway Food Programme over the past few years.

To tackle the issue of cleanli-ness in PPR projects, an aspect of building maintenance, Henry Butcher Malaysia (Mont’Kiara) will implement a 12-month clean-liness programme which consists of gotong-royong, cleanliness awareness talks, recycling trash-to-cash programme, among oth-er activities, at PPR Sungai Putat, Batu Berendam in Melaka starting next month.

Th e fi rm also plans to distrib-ute an information kit to PPR resi-dents to educate them about stra-ta living.

Companies makeCSR commitments

KUALA LUMPUR: Bumi Armada Bhd’s eff orts to restructure some of its unsecured short-term loans of around US$380 million (RM1.55 billion) seem to have met with cold shoulders as banks remain reluc-tant to increase exposure to the oil and gas sector.

The existing banks are not keen on granting the refi nancing schemes for Asia’s leading off shore service vessel and fl oating produc-tion storage and offl oading (FPSO) owner, according to sources.

Th e loans were initially due in May 2019, according to previous ar-rangements. Th e group has already missed the deadline on Dec 31, 2018. Failure to obtain the bank’s support could potentially drive Bumi Armada to further extend its renegotiation deadline from the fi rst quarter 2019 (1Q19) presently.

When asked about the matter, in an email reply, Bumi Armada told Th e Edge Financial Daily, “We are unable to provide any information given that the group is currently

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minis-ter Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has urged the private sector to give back to society by working together with the government to build more aff ordable homes for Malaysians.

“The Pakatan Harapan gov-ernment has promised to build one million affordable homes in 10 years. We (government) might not have enough resourc-es to build this amount of houses

working on the refi nancing of our debt, and fi nalising FY18 (the fi -nancial year ended Dec 31, 2018) fi nancial results.”

“We will make the appropriate disclosures at the appropriate time,” the group said.

Nonetheless, there could be a lifesaver for Bumi Armada to ease its fi nancial stress — the potential of winning hefty compensation over the Armada Claire case.

Th e compensation over the pre-mature contract termination of its FPSO vessel Armada Claire is in the tune of US$283 million. A hearing will be held at Western Australia’s Supreme Court tomorrow.

Meanwhile, it still has its US$1.5 billion euro medium-term note programme, which analysts said is more appropriate if utilised to fund new projects. As at Nov 23, 2018, the programme had remained untouched.

Th at said, most analysts viewed that Bumi Armada could get the nod from lenders to shift the deadline again, having done it once in 4Q18.

“Th e downside is that interest

rates would be higher, although we can take note of the smaller princi-pal remaining [from US$500 million in October 2018],” an analyst shared with Th e Edge Financial Daily.

“But I am more concerned about the cash flow. There is no news on the contract bids for its sub-sea vessels [Armada] Installer and Constructor that are idle now,” he added.

Indeed, there has been specula-tion for long on how Bumi Armada will recapitalise its balance sheet.

Rough waters in the Caspian SeaTo recap, the chartered contracts for the two subsea vessels in the Cas-pian Sea were in June and October 2018 respectively. Th e absence of contribution from there has resulted in lower earnings generated in the offshore marine services (OMS) division in the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2018 (3QFY18). Further de-cline is likely in 4QFY18, according to analysts.

In the 3QFY18, Bumi Armada booked a net loss of RM502.83 mil-lion on the back of RM588.05 mil-

lion in revenue. Quarter-on-quarter, revenue fell 10% against RM654.04 million in 2QFY18, as contribution from both fl oating production and operation (FPO) and OMS segments fell.

Th e FPO segment revenue may rise, which in turn will stabilise in 4QFY18, as it has managed to win a contract extension for Armada TGT1 in last August.

However, that alone cannot sus-tain its debt burden if no new subsea vessel jobs come in, commented UOB Kay Hian Research in a note dated Jan 7, 2019.

Of Bumi Armada’s RM11 billion worth of borrowings, UOB Kay Hian Research estimated that around RM5 billion was “mostly incurred to support the group’s OMS expan-sion in the past”.

Taking the debt and the troubled OMS segment into account, UOB Kay Hian has lowered its target price (TP) per Bumi Armada share to 10 sen — the lowest of the lot.

On the contrary, CGSCIMB Re-search, which pegs the TP of 70 sen among the highest, is optimistic

about Bumi Armada securing fresh contracts for the subsea vessels.

“In any case, with the only other vessel in the Caspian Sea locked up for long periods working in Azerbai-jan, Bumi Armada’s subsea vessels are the only ones available, which virtually guarantees work in one form or other,” explained the re-search house in a note dated Jan 17.

That said, some are also con-cerned about impairment risks.

Kenanga Research in a note dat-ed Nov 26, 2018 opined that market prices for many of Bumi Armada’s assets were still “greatly below its book-carrying amount”.

Th is is despite Bumi Armada hav-ing already impaired slightly over RM1 billion combined for its FPSO and OMS segments in the fi rst nine months of 2018.

“We still fi nd Bumi Armada’s as-set turnover ratio to vastly lag behind pre-2014 levels before the oil price plunge, hence implying bloated as-set-carrying values, and thus further impairment risks moving forward,” said the research house, which has set a TP of 15 sen for the company.

PM: Developers’ participation crucial to achieve target of one million aff ordable homes

in 10 years, so it’s crucial to work with the private sector to achieve this target,” he said in his speech during the launching ceremony of the National Community Policy or Dasar Komuniti Negara (DKN) yesterday.

To achieve the target effi cient-ly, the government will look at potential locations for aff ordable housing and work with developers to build houses of diff erent price ranges for homebuyers.

Dr Mahathir said the current annual target of 100,000 houses is achievable.

“Aff ordable homes are not only about pricing, the comfort is equal-ly important as it refl ects our gen-eral living standards,” he added.

He also advised People’s Hous-ing Project (PPR) residents who have talent in cooking or baking to start small businesses and leverage on social media or the Internet to market their products to increase their income.

“With increased income, one day they might upgrade to better houses which, in turn, become potential customers for private developers,” he said.

Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Keluarga Bhd

RM4.44

KUALA LUMPUR: While gener-al insurance players are expected to continue seeing their margins squeezed in the near future, takaful operator Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Keluarga Bhd has emerged as a bright spot in the industry.

Of the nine listed insurance pro-viders on Bursa Malaysia, Syarikat Takaful is the only pure takaful op-erator. And it has been on a winning streak, posting a record net profi t of RM294.92 million for its fi nancial year ended Dec 31, 2018 (FY18), a 43% jump from the previous year.

Following the results announce-ment on Jan 24, the group’s share price rallied and reached its all-time high of RM4.60 last Wednesday, af-ter rising 62 sen or 15.6%. Th e stock has pared some gains after that and closed at RM4.40 last Friday, giving it a market capitalisation of RM3.66 billion.

Th e stock remains on the “buy” list of all analysts covering it, ac-cording to Bloomberg data. Th e con-sensus 12-month target price (TP) among the fi ve latest forecasts for Syarikat Takaful is RM5.10, a pre-mium of 15.9% to its latest closing price. In the past 12 months, the stock has climbed 44.2%.

“Syarikat Takaful has achieved a strong underwriting performance, which is in line with the takaful in-dustry’s growth trend,” said Khoo Zhen Ye, an analyst at MIDF Re-search, adding that the achieve-ment was primarily driven by the group’s family takaful segment, which makes up about 70% of the group’s gross earned contributions.

Keith Wee at UOB Kay Hian, who noted that the group’s net profi t for its fourth quarter of FY18 came in above expectations, said it was supported by improvements in management expenses and claims

ratio. The group’s earnings have also shown stronger-than-expected growth in overall premiums.

UOB KayHian has the highest TP of RM5.82 for Syarikat Takaful.

“Th e group is likely to sustain its strong premiums growth into 2019 as it will mark the full-year contribution of its recent bancas-surance tie-up with Bank Rakyat as a preferred bancassurance partner,” Wee said in a Jan 25 report.

He noted that bancassurance represents 55% of Syarikat Takaful’s family takaful premiums and 43% of group premiums.

On top of that, the group has gained from a growing traction in online sales, Wee said, which has resulted in lower agency commis-sions having to be paid out.

Th is represents an advantage for Syarikat Takaful in an increasingly competitive environment, which sees insurance players striving to distinguish themselves via their distribution channels.

MIDF’s Khoo, meanwhile, told Th e Edge Financial Daily that digi-tal technology would play a signif-icant role in the insurance sector’s underwriting business and would

be one of the main focuses in FY19, due to the adoption of risk-based pricing following the detariffi cation of motor and fi re insurance in 2019.

“One of the main challenges for insurers this year will be to cope with increased regulation,” he said, pointing to the minimum alloca-tion rate (MAR) required for in-vestment-linked products starting this year.

Th is may further compress mar-gins for insurance players as it re-quires them to retain a higher por-tion of premiums to customers’ funds, Khoo noted.

“We are of the view that the MAR impact will be more signifi cant on life insurance companies compared to the takaful operations, as invest-ment-linked products account for most of the new premiums in the life insurance sector,” he said.

Insurers also recently had to account for an increase in im-pairments under the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) 9. However, it is the imple-mentation of the MFRS 17 in Jan-uary 2021 that will be even more game-changing for the sector, par-ticularly life insurers. For it will change the way they recognise revenue and profi ts from custom-ers, spreading it over the lifespan of the insurance policies.

At present, general insurance players including LPI Capital Bhd, Allianz Malaysia Bhd and Tune Pro-tect Group Bhd have been seeing slight growth.

“Th e general insurance growth rate for the first nine months of 2018 was marginal [at about 1.5%], so we expect the earnings growth of LPI Capital and Tune Protect to be fl at in 2018, compared to takaful operators,” Khoo said.

On Jan 29, LPI Capital posted a 1.2% rise in net profi t to RM84 mil-lion for its fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2018, although net profi t was fl at for the full year at RM314.05 million despite revenue climbing 2.9% to RM1.51 billion — largely contributed by its general insur-ance segment.

Trading at RM16.38 a share, LPI Capital has climbed 6.6% in the past one year, while Allianz is up near 6% at RM13.50; Tune Protect, how-ever, has retreated 35% to 65 sen.

Potential boost from mySalam?The government’s introduction of the mySalam health protection scheme for the bottom 40% (B40) of the population is seen by some as a potential boost for the sector.

Launched on Jan 23, the pro-gramme is currently supported by RM2 billion contributed by Great

Eastern Life Malaysia for an initial fi ve-year period. Th e government has called for more insurers to con-tribute towards the scheme, and MIDF’s Khoo views it as a good starting point to educate and spread awareness of the role of insurance among the B40.

“We view the focus by the gov-ernment on the insurance penetra-tion rate among B40 to be positive for insurers as it forces the insurers to come up with innovative distri-bution platforms and products to tap into this largely underserved market and can contribute to its bottom line as well in the long run,” he said.

However, not all analysts are as positive on further growth from the initiative.

AmInvestment Bank’s Kelvin Ong, for one, does not think the initiative will have a signifi cant im-pact on insurers, as their off erings for the lower-income segment are already cheap.

“Plain protection policies are al-ready in place by most insurers, so I don’t think the focus on B40 will aff ect existing players,” he told the Th e Edge Financial Daily.

It is worth noting that the cen-tral bank and various insurance associations have long striven to make insurance more aff ordable for Malaysians. This has includ-ed the launch of the Perlindun-gan Tenang initiative, which was launched in November 2017 and saw 10 aff ordable protection plans made available to the B40.

“At this juncture, we believe the growth of the industry will continue to be led by the higher take-up rate of takaful products due to wider awareness and favourable demo-graphic pattern in the domestic market. As such, our top pick re-mains Syarikat Takaful, with a TP of RM4.75,” Khoo added.

In return to queries from Th e Edge Financial Daily, a spokesman for MoF Inc said there is no state-ment regarding Moggie’s extension as at press time. An offi cer at the Prime Minister’s Offi ce also said they are not aware of the matter. Khazanah, when contacted, de-clined to comment. TNB, mean-while, said they are unaware of the chairman’s future and that any announcements pertaining to that will be fi led with Bursa Malaysia.

It is worth noting that TNB’s share price was trading at RM16.06 prior to GE14 but has since fallen by 18.8% to close at RM13.04 last Friday. Year to date, the utility gi-ant’s share price is down 4.1%.

Single-digit corporate earnings growth seen for 2019Banking and plantation sectors projected to perform better

S TO R I E S BY J U S T I N L I M

KUALA LUMPUR: Corporate earn-ings in Malaysia are expected to remain low in 2019, albeit slight-ly better than 2018, say analysts.

Th ey say that growth is expect-ed to be in the single-digit levels, on the back of a better showing by the banking sector and a recovery in palm oil and crude oil prices.

RHB Research Institute head of Malaysian research Alexander Chia’s corporate earnings projec-tion for 2019 is 3% (compared with a 1% growth forecast for 2018), mainly driven by the banking sector.

“Th e FBM KLCI is trading at a price-to-earnings of 17 times. Th e valuation is rich given that the earnings growth is weak,” Chia told Th e Edge Financial Daily.

“Earnings risk is on the down-side,” he said, adding that the country is getting closer to the next recession.

Th e benchmark index dived to a two-year low of 1,635.31 on Dec 18 last year, but has since re-covered, closing at 1,688.83 last Friday. Over the past one year, the KLCI has fallen by 9.07%.

MIDF head of research Mohd Redza Abdul Rahman is somewhat more optimistic.

He expects the earnings growth

in 2019 to improve to 7.2%, up from a forecast 4.5% for 2018.

He said the sectors that are likely to see earnings improvement include plantation and automotive as well as consumer-related sectors such as food and beverage, banking, avia-tion, healthcare, insurance and con-struction.

“Arising from the recovery of com-modity prices, we expect better re-sults from the plantation sector with CPO (crude palm oil) price assump-tion at an average of RM2,280 per tonne,” he added.

Th e Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) expects the average price of CPO to rise above RM2,500 per tonne in 2019, from RM2,250 in 2018.

“We are also expecting a slightly higher infl ation rate for 2019 at 2.2%,” said Mohd Redza.

“Th erefore that is rather accom-modative to auto sectors as well as consumer-related sectors such as food and beverage, banks and avia-tion, where distributive trade num-bers are expected to be strong.”

“Healthcare (hospitals and gloves) and insurance will likely do well over the good operational numbers, improving production effi ciencies as well as [benefi t from the] introduction of government initiatives [like the mySalam insur-ance scheme]. So we continue to like

especially IHH Healthcare Bhd and Tune Protect Group Bhd,” he added.

Earnings contraction seen for 4Q18Meanwhile, following the lacklustre corporate earnings in the third quar-ter of 2018 (3Q18), the expectations for 4Q18 are generally low.

Most companies that have al-ready released their 4Q18 results, such as Lotte Chemical Titan Hold-ing Bhd and Bursa Malaysia Bhd, have indeed seen a contraction in their earnings.

UOB Kay Hian Malaysia head of research Vincent Khoo told Th e Edge

Financial Daily that the overall cor-porate earnings growth for 4Q18 is seen to be subdued amid a cautious investment and consumer sentiment.

“Market expectation for the Octo-ber-December earnings is quite low,” RHB Research’s Chia concurred, adding: “We are looking at very fl at [number] of around 1% growth for the full-year 2018 corporate earnings in the KLCI stocks.”

Off ering a similar forecast, MIDF’s Mohd Redza said: “We should not be expecting much of a turnaround of corporate results [in 4Q18] as the eff ects seen during the third quarter still persisted.

“Issues such as the property overhang and [declining] palm oil and crude oil prices still remained. Plus, there are also concerns over the ongoing trade war that resulted in a decline in demand for manu-factured goods exports.”

Th e plantation sector and the technology segment related to the Apple supply chain are expected to witness earnings contraction in 4Q18, mainly dragged by the lower CPO prices and iPhone sales in China.

Th e oil and gas sector, particu-larly for the upstream segment, would still be a challenge, due to lesser contract wins and also debt issues.

Th e construction sector is also expected to report muted earnings for 4Q18 due to the slowdown in billings and reduced job wins.

However, not all sectors look bad, said Mohd Redza, citing con-sumer-related stocks in the food and beverage and aviation sectors which are expected to show better performance.

“Th e healthcare and rubber glove sectors should also see decent per-formances due to better operational effi ciency and unabated demand,” he said, adding that banks should also do well on the back on decent loan growth numbers.

Sectoral performance projections for 4Q18Plantation: Disappointing earnings seen Th e continued fall in crude palm oil (CPO) price is expected to weigh down on plantation play-ers’ earnings.

Th e benchmark third month palm oil contract price settled at RM2,279 per tonne last Friday. Over the past one year, the price has come down by 8.95% from RM2,503 per tonne.

“Plantation counters are likely to deliver disappointing earnings for fourth quater of 2018 (4Q18) due to the low-er external demand as well as the sharp decline in CPO price. Hence, we are likely to see poor earnings to be delivered by the plantation counters,” said Fund-supermart Research analyst Jer-ry Lee Chee Yeong.

“However, we believe much of this negatives have been fac-tored in the share price, as the plantation sector as represented by Bursa Malaysia Plantation Index, tumbled by close to 10% in the last quarter of 2018,” Lee added.

Technology: Mixed outlookOn Jan 29, Apple reported that the revenue from its iPhone business, which accounts for most of the company’s profi ts, dropped 15% during its fi rst quarter ended Dec 29, 2018 due to weak sales in China.

According to RHB Research In-stitute head of Malaysian research Alexander Chia, Apple’s supply chains are badly hit because of the bad news about its performance in China. Hence, he expects companies that are related to the Apple supply chains, such as Inari Amertron Bhd, to continue to face challenging times.

Inari’s earnings results for its fi rst fi nancial quarter ended Sept 30, 2018 (1QFY19) already refl ected the softer outlook as its net profi t shrank 12% to RM60.16 million, while its revenue was down 12.7% to RM325.72 million.

Th is weaker performance was due to lower volume loading on a major sensor product and the disposal of assets by a 51%-owned subsidiary, said Inari.

However, not all technology companies will be badly hit. Lee be-lieves the local technology players,

especially semi-conductor fi rms, are likely to deliver better 4Q18 earnings due to the stronger external demand as refl ected in Malaysia’s electrical and electronics (E&E) exports for the last quarter of 2018, which saw two months of double-digit growth.

In 2018, E&E products held the biggest share of Malaysia’s exports composition, at 38.2% or RM380.1 billion, rising by 11% or RM 37.74 billion.

On top of that, the weaker ring-git in 4Q18 compared with 3Q18 would also benefi t the tech players.

Banking: Healthy earnings growth seenFundsupermart’s Lee expects the banking industry to report a healthy earnings growth as it continued to benefi t from a positive loan growth in 4Q18.

“Th e higher net interest margin on year-on-year (y-o-y) basis, due to the interest rate hike early this year, will also help to lift banks’ earnings for the last quarter of 2018,” he said.

But the downside risks — high-er provisions as well as operational expenses — would weigh on the

net earnings, Lee added.Chia agreed that the banking

sector will continue to deliver sta-ble earnings growth in 2019 with loans growing at 4-5%.

“Looking at the KLCI, the growth elsewhere is bad,” he added.

Kenanga Investment Research, in a note dated Feb 4, said loan growth for 2018 ended at 5.6% y-o-y to RM1,665 billion, above its estimate of 5-5.4% y-o-y growth, due to a strong performance in December 2018.

Going forward, the research house expects loan growth to be challenging with the prevailing un-certainties. However, loans should be supported by resilient households on account of accommodative in-terest rates and stable asset quality.

“We expect 2019 loan growth to be less than 5%. Household de-mand will be supported by stable employment and wages with infl a-tion looking subdued. Th e consist-ently improving asset quality will, in our opinion, see banks having a healthier appetite for household loans and we would not be sur-prised if competitive lending rates resurface [in order to prop up de-

mand] putting downside pressure on net interest margin,” it added.

Rubber glove: Stable earnings growth expectedTwo leading rubber glove players reported positive earnings growth in 4Q18. Hartalega Holdings Bhd and Supermax Corp Bhd posted 6% and 6.2% growth in net profi t to RM119.76 million and RM38.14 million, respectively.

Chia said rubber glove will con-tinue to report stable y-o-y earn-ings growth on stronger production growth despite some concerns on margin compression mainly due to price war.

He expects the rubber glove companies to raise their capacity by 14% for 2019, outstripping the expected annual glove demand growth of 8-9%. However, he be-lieves this will not create an over-capacity issue as the demand for gloves remains robust.

Chia said he continues to like Hartalega as the company is a lead-er in rubber glove innovation and its ability to deliver above-average industry margins.

The plantation sector is expected to witness earnings contraction in 4Q18, mainly dragged by the lower CPO prices.

Developers in Catch-22 situation over IBS adoptionMany say it is diffi cult to cope with IBS’ high start-up cost amid demands to lower property prices

BY W O N G E E L I N

BY A H M A D N A Q I B I D R I S

KUALA LUMPUR: Loss-making Merge Energy Bhd, which recently saw a shake-up in its management after the close of an unconditional mandatory takeover off er last month that saw some key people linked to Matrix Concepts Holdings Bhd taking control of the group, is anticipating to make a fresh start come the be-ginning of its fi nancial year ending March 31, 2020 (FY20).

Executive chairman Datuk Mo-hamad Haslah Mohamad Amin, who was one of three ultimate off errors in the deal and now holds a 6.61% stake in the company, said the manage-ment is now in the process of clean-ing up Merge Energy’s books and re-structuring its businesses. Mohamad Haslah, who is also the non-executive chairman of Matrix Concepts, was redesignated to the current post in Merge Energy last November.

Merge Energy, listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia in Novem-ber 1998, is primarily involved in the construction and project manage-ment of water treatment plants. With a small paid-up capital of 67 million shares, the company has been in a weak financial position, said Mo-hamad Haslah, who also noted it has accumulated losses of some RM20 million.

KUALA LUMPUR: Plenty has been said about the industrialised build-ing system (IBS) in Malaysia over the years, but adoption in the private sector remains slow as developers lament they have been caught in a Catch-22 situation.

For while the government is push-ing for greater adoption of IBS on one hand, which requires a high start-up cost, it is also urging developers to lower property prices at the same time, in the face of the aff ordable housing conundrum.

According to the Construction In-dustry Development Board, adoption in the private sector stood at 35% as at January this year, while the target set to be achieved by 2020 — which is just 10 months away — is 50%.

In contrast, over 70% of govern-ment projects have adopted the sys-tem, an achievement boosted by the requirement that projects exceeding RM10 million must have a minimum IBS score of 70.

Paramount Property Develop-ment Sdn Bhd chief executive offi cer Beh Chun Chong told Th e Edge Fi-nancial Daily that the key issue for developers in adopting IBS is that most developers do not have the

But Merge Energy, despite being small, presents an opportunity for its shareholders to grow it, he said.

“While this is a small company, it does not have much baggage,” said Mohamad Haslah, adding that the company should see a clean slate by end-FY19.

Asked if Merge Energy will be parked under Matrix Concepts, he dismissed the notion and said it will be two separate entities.

As at Sept 30, 2018, Merge Energy is in a net debt position, with cash and bank balances of RM8.22 mil-lion, while total borrowings stood at RM9.09 million. Th e company is now looking for ways to rationalise its assets by disposing of some of its non-core assets which it expects to bring in up to some RM40 million. he said.

Th e company has also decided it will retain two of its existing business-es in which it sees potential. One is the water treatment plant construction business undertaken via its primary subsidiary Mewah Kota Sdn Bhd — a licensed water treatment plant con-tractor. Th e other is the provision of solution to all industrial water needs in the oil and gas industry that is un-dertaken by its subsidiary Iris Syner-gy Sdn Bhd.

“If these companies are still con-tributing sustainable earnings, why

Merge Energy to start anew, eyes turnaround in FY20

economies of scale to eff ectively use the construction system, which in turn increases development cost.

Country Garden Pacifi cview Sdn Bhd, for example, uses IBS intensive-ly in the Forest City development and even set up its own facility for the particular project. Th e company, which is a unit of one of the largest developers in China, managed to complete several buildings under the development within three years — a testament to the effi ciency that can be achieved with IBS.

It is possible for Country Garden to take advantage of the cost and time savings due to the hundreds of thousands of units planned for the entire project. But it is a diff erent story for smaller developments and developers.

“If a developer has a standalone project on a plot of land with one or two buildings, it would be about 15% more expensive to construct the project with IBS.

“On the other hand, the Malay-sian residential market is facing an aff ordability problem currently and developers have been asked to lower their selling prices. One of the big-gest cost components in developing property is the construction cost, so it would be diffi cult to use IBS while

also keeping prices low,” said Beh.“As it is, there is a greater urgency

to reduce the price of homes rath-er than adopting IBS, which could increase prices instead,” he added.

The works ministry previously suggested that private companies bundle their projects to achieve economies of scale by collaborat-ing with the ministry of housing and local government.

Beh thinks the ministry’s sug-gestion might work, so Paramount is aiming to do just that going for-ward. While Paramount has yet to adopt IBS in its projects, Beh agreed that the system does bring benefi t to the industry in terms of labour cost savings.

Hence, the company is now looking at standardising the units of diff erent developments in order to achieve economies of scale.

“If we have a better grasp of what kind of units are in demand, in terms of size and specification, we can standardise our units so we could replicate similar units in diff erent projects.

“In order for IBS to be adopted in a meaningful way, early planning is needed. It needs to begin from the designing stage. As soon as a developer acquires a piece of land,

they must already have IBS in mind,” Beh said.

Adoption, said Beh, will defi nitely increase in the coming years amid the worker shortage issue. “But cur-rently, standalone developers can’t do it yet. Th e cost of hiring manual labour currently is still cheaper than using IBS,” he said.

MGB Bhd, which has partnered Sany Construction Industry Develop-ment (M) Sdn Bhd to set up a precast concrete plant, said the demand for IBS components and adoption has been increasing over the years, albeit at a rather slow rate.

“Th e slow adoption is related to the high set-up cost and low demand. Industry players are still opting for conventional construction. As the cost of labour is rising, it is a good time to adopt IBS as it would require less labour.

“With the increasing familiarity and demand, the cost would also be lower in the future,” said Tan Sri Lim Hock San, the group managing director of MGB as well as its parent, LBS Bina Holdings Sdn Bhd.

Asked if there should be any in-centives given to developers to en-courage adoption, Lim said no need as he believes demand for IBS will gradually increase. Having said that,

he acknowledged that incentives could speed up adoption.

The key IBS driverGamuda IBS Sdn Bhd general man-ager Tan Ek Khai said the govern-ment’s policy of reducing reliance on foreign workers and the need to cleanse the workforce of illegal for-eign workers will be the key driver of IBS adoption.

Gamuda IBS currently can pro-duce up to 10,000 IBS-built units per year following the completion of its second IBS facility in Banting last year to complement its fi rst plant in Sepang, which has been operating since 2016.

He said the use of a fully integrat-ed digital system — combining the use of building information mod-elling and IBS to provide a smooth end-to-end process of property de-velopment — could reduce reliance on foreign workers by 70% and bring local Technical and Vocational Ed-ucation and Training back into the industry.

“Th is demand for IBS comes nat-urally when it remains the best way to build, like in Europe and Singa-pore. Gamuda IBS stands ready to work with all developers to realise the future of homebuilding,” he said.

should we lose the track record and licenses,” he said. In the second half of FY19, Merge Energy’s cumulative revenue jumped 107% year-on-year to RM23.67 million, mainly due to contribution from Mewah Kota’s new water treatmet plant project — the Loji Rawatan Air Pagoh.

In the mean time, Merge Energy will also be reactivating two other businesses — its property develop-ment and construction business, said Mohamad Haslah.

Mohamad Haslah also said the new management is eyeing to turn the company around in FY20, but did not wish to elaborate, other than pointing to the new management’s expertise.

On Jan 30, Datuk Abdul Jalil Abdul Karim resigned as the company chief executive

officer (CEO) to pursue other in-terests. Abdul Jalil has been Merge Energy CEO since February 2011.

Also resigning on the same day were executive director Raizita Ah-mad @ Harun, and independent and non-executive directors Datuk Teng-ku Rozanna Petri Tengku Mohamed Nasrun and Datuk Sheah Kok Fah.

In their stead, Datuk Lee Tian Hock and Czarina Alia Abdul Razak were appointed non-independent and non-executive directors. Tian Hock, who owns some 33.5% stake in the company and was an off eror in the recent takeover deal, is also the founder and executive deputy chairman of property developer Ma-trix Concepts. He is also the brother of Lee Tian Huat, who has an 8.06%

stake in Merge Energy and is the second ultimate of-

feror in the takeover deal. The third is Datuk Tan Gee Swan @ Tan Suan Ching, the controlling shareholder and a direc-tor of Westiara Devel-

opment, whose back-ground is also in

construction and prop-erty devel-opment.

Czarina, meanwhile,

is a former Majlis Amanah Rakyat board member (2010 to 2011) and has over 20 years of experience in human capital consulting with Kelly Services (M) Sdn Bhd.

Registering net losses for six con-secutive quarters, Merge Energy’s net loss stood at RM1.94 million for the six months ended Sept 30, 2018, ver-sus a net loss of RM2.02 million pre-viously. Th ough revenue grew 107% to RM23.67 million from RM11.41 million, the company was still in the red due to lower profi t margin and higher administration operat-ing costs.

While Mohamad Haslah also hint-ed at new potential businesses that Merge Energy may consider going into, given the challenging business environment for the construction in-dustry now, a quick look at the three ultimate off erors’ background sug-gests that Merge Energy may not di-verge too far from the property devel-opment and construction business.

In line with its less-than-encour-aging past earnings, Merge Energy shares have been rather thinly traded. Over the past four years, the counter had largely remained 40 sen a share. Th e counter closed at 86 sen last Fri-day — two sen lower than the 88 sen a share off ered in the takeover deal — giving the company a market value of RM57.62 million.

DOHA/DUBAI: Qatar’s Doha Tower, a spike-tipped cylinder that glows orange at night, won an award when fi nished in 2012 amid a Gulf-wide real estate boom, but today about half of its 46 fl oors are empty.

Th e offi ce tower, now a familiar part of the capital’s high-rise skyline, has run foul of what real estate brokers, bankers and analysts say is an oversupplied Qa-tar property market ahead of the 2022 World Cup that mirrors a real estate downturn in the wider Gulf region after a drop in oil prices.

Qatar has the added challenge of a diplomatic, trade and transport boy-cott imposed on the Gulf Arab state by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emir-ates, Bahrain and Egypt over allegations that Doha supports Islamist militants, a charge Qatar denies.

Th e protracted row has made it tough to lure would-be foreign buyers of resi-dential or commercial space.

Residential prices are down about 10% from June 2017, when the boycott began, and offi ce prices have fallen by a similar rate, according to analysts and economists. Rents are down 20% from three years ago, they say.

“Qatar’s property sector has been one of the main casualties from the blockade that was imposed in mid-2017,” Jason Tuvey, an economist at Capital Economics, said.

Th e property downturn has so far not translated into bad loans, as bankers say borrowers holding sluggish real estate assets tend to be among the country’s wealthiest.

“Th ey have capacity to withstand the market ... I don’t see a major threat,” Doha Bank chief executive offi cer Ragha-van Setharaman said, when asked about his view of the real estate market.

A banker at Al-Khalij Commercial Bank said banks like his have been restructuring many property loans in recent months, ex-tending them to 20-year payment periods from 10 in some cases, to keep business moving for developers hit by slow demand.

But with the World Cup edging clos-er, real estate experts say long-planned projects are now set to fl ood the market, even as buildings in prime locations,

Qatar’s real estate market faces reality check ahead of World CupBY E R I C K N EC H T & T U Q A K H A L I D like Doha Tower, sit idle.

“It’ll be interesting to see what hap-pens when they (real estate prices) are really put under pressure in a year’s time, when a lot of new supply hits the market,” Johnny Archer, Associate Director of DTZ, a Doha-based real estate fi rm, said.

World Cup frenzyTiny but wealthy Qatar, the world’s top liquefi ed natural gas exporter, plans to increase residential space by about 50% and offi ce space by 40% in the next three years, partly on expected demand from the World Cup, according to a report published last week by real estate company DTZ.

Th e lion’s share in construction un-derway is for high-end residential tow-ers, white-collar offi ce space, and luxury hotels and shopping malls.

Fifa requires Qatar have at least 60,000 ho-tel rooms in place for the month-long World Cup tournament, which Qatar estimates will draw about 1.5 million fans — more than half of its roughly 2.6 million population.

Qatar has about 26,500 rooms and will add another 15,000 by 2022, DTZ’s report estimated. Th e rest will be met by rooms aboard cruise ships and in desert camps, according to the local World Cup organis-ing committee. Th ese camps are expected to be bedouin-style accommodation to give visitors a taste of desert life.

Much of the building is in an entirely new city, Lusail, a 38 sq km stretch just north of Doha dotted by commercial tow-ers, hotels, and shopping centres at various stages of construction.

Lusail is being developed by state-con-trolled Qatari Diar Real Estate Compa-ny, which envisions it hosting 200,000 residents and 170,000 employees. It is anchored by Qatar’s largest World Cup stadium, an 80,000 seat venue that will host the opening and closing matches.

Colliers International, whose offi ce was an early entrant to Lusail, says getting com-panies to fi ll a rush of towers coming on-line ahead of 2022 will be a daunting task.

“Th ere is signifi cant offi ce oversupply and while the 2022 Fifa World Cup will help absorb space, new industries are required to bring large offi ce occupiers in the me-dium to long term,” said Colliers’ Qatar country director Adrian Camps. — Reuters

TRADING of shares in Can-One Bhd (fun-damental: 0.8/3, valuation: 1.8/3) triggered our momentum algorithm last Friday for the third time this year.

Th e stock closed unchanged at RM2.68, with 298,000 shares done, much higher than its 200-day average of 69,451 shares.

At the group’s extraordinary general meeting last Th ursday, the shareholders agreed to go

ahead with the proposed mandatory general off er for its 32.9%-owned associate Kian Joo Can Factory Bhd at RM3.10 per share.

Th is is despite concerns about Can-One’s risk of gearing up to take control of Kian Joo, whose earnings and dividend payouts have been declining in recent years.

Can-One is currently trading at 0.63 times its net book value.

TRADING of shares in Fajarbaru Builder Group Bhd (fundamental: 1/3, valuation: 2.4/3) triggered our momentum algorithm last Friday for the fi rst time this year.

Th e stock closed up half a sen or 1.32% at 38.5 sen, with 4.4 million shares done, sig-nifi cantly higher than the counter’s 200-day average of 1.34 million shares.

Th e group said last December it will be launching a RM450 million gross develop-ment value residential project in Puchong

by the end of this year, marking its second property development project in Malaysia.

Th e project, Rica Residence Kinrara, is a high-rise residential project located on 2.71ha in Puchong.

Altogether, the group will be launching over 600 units, with 30% of them to be priced at around RM300,000, while the rest will be in the mid-to-high price range.

We will seek new water deal — PMSaifuddin to lead talks to revise price with Singapore

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said PAS leaders told him they will not support Umno at the Semenyih state by-election because Paka-tan Harapan (PH) did not field a DAP candidate.

He said at (a meeting at the Al-Bukhary Foundation on Friday) with PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and two other leaders, namely, secretary-gen-eral Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan and Terengganu Menteri Besar Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, it was not mentioned if PAS would back Bersatu or Pakatan at the by-election on March 2.

“I am only forced to say that they (Abdul Hadi, Takiyuddin and

Ahmad Samsuri) admitted that they will not support Umno this time because the opponent this time is not DAP. They stated that they will not support Umno but they will not declare it.

“(But) when I hear a denial, I am forced to mention what had transpired ... their admission, this time they will not support Umno but they did not say whether they will support Bersatu or PH and they (PAS) will not be present (during the nomination) but we see they still turned up,” he told a media conference after launching the National Community Policy here yesterday.

He said the PAS leaders had handed over a letter which was

signed by Takiyuddin, that con-tained the admission.

Dr Mahathir said during the meeting too the PAS leaders stated their support for his leadership as prime minister.

“But as we know, they don’t often support me,” he added.

He said the meeting was more focused towards the co-ordina-tion of work between the federal government and the state gov-ernment.

“They sought to have a repre-sentative from the party in certain government agencies and we also requested that a PH leader be giv-en a place in the state government where we don’t have a represent-ative,” he said. — Bernama

Sabah DAP backs Shafi e on Bersatu’s entry into stateKOTA KINABALU: Sabah DAP will back Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafi e Apdal as the head of the state government and will support whatever deci-sion made regarding the stand of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Ma-laysia (Bersatu) to spread its wings to Sabah.

Sabah DAP chairman Datuk Stephen Wong Tien Fatt said his party believes that Mohd Shafi e, who is also Parti War-isan Sabah president (War-isan), can handle the issue well.

“We know Mohd Shafi e is capable of handling this issue and we will certainly support him (on Bersatu’s entry into Sabah),” he said.

Wong, who is also Sabah’s Health and Wellbeing Minister, said this when met by report-ers after attending the Chinese New Year Open House organ-ised by Kota Kinabalu DAP here yesterday.

He was asked to comment on the announcement by Ber-satu chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on Bersatu’s agree-ment to set up branches in Sa-bah.

Last Friday, Dr Mahathir, who is also prime minister, said the decision was made after members of Sabah Umno quit the party but did not want to join Warisan which is the ally of Pakatan Harapan (PH).

Wong added that Bersatu’s entry into Sabah is seen as able to have an impact on Pakatan, but DAP realised that Bersatu’s decision to set up branches in the state could not be stopped as it was their right to do so.

However, Wong said Sabah DAP does not agree with Ber-satu’s actions in accepting for-mer Umno leaders to join the party. — Bernama

Papagomo detained over alleged assaultKUALA LUMPUR: Police de-tained controversial blogger Papagomo in Wangsa Maju yes-terday to assist investigations into the alleged assault involv-ing Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rah-man. Selangor CID chief SAC Fadzil Ahmat when contact-ed confi rmed the arrest of Pa-pagomo or his real name Mu-hammad Azri Wan Deris. He said Papagomo was detained at 3pm and the investigations were ongoing. On Saturday, two police reports on the in-cident involving Syed Saddiq, who is also Muar member of Parliament, were lodged after the nomination process for the Semenyih by-election and in-vestigations were being carried out under Section 353, Section 147 and Section 323 of the Pe-nal Code. — Bernama

Healthy EPF dividend proof economy is onpositive path – Guan EngBUTTERWORTH: The an-nouncement of a favourable set of dividends for conven-tional and shariah savings for 2018 by the Employees Provi-dent Fund (EPF) on Saturday proves that the country’s eco-nomic position is healthy, says Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng. He said the 6.15% rate for conventional savings is ex-traordinary. “I feel that this is an exemplary performance, beyond the expectation of all parties,” he told reporters here yesterday after attending a Chinese New Year celebra-tion organised by the Pulau Pinang Royal Customs De-partment. — Bernama

PUCHONG: Foreign Minis-ter Datuk Saifuddin Abdul-lah will lead a group of Ma-

laysian offi cials in the talks on the revision of raw water prices sold to Singapore, said Prime Minister Tun Dr Ma-

hathir Mohamad (pic).Without disclosing the de-

tails of when the talks will take place, Dr Mahathir

said the negotiating team is “working on

it” and will include relevant offi cials from Johor.

“We are of the view that the price of

three sen for 1,000 gallons of raw water was decided in 1926. At that time, the value of one sen could buy a lot of goods, but now with one sen we can’t buy anything, even with three cents we can’t buy anything.

“By right, price of goods should be current. Today we are not talking about millionaire, but billionaire because income has increased tre-mendously. So, do you think that the price set in 1926 still remains until the year 3000?

“Another millennium? Is it rea-sonable? I feel it is unreasonable. Until when...?,” he told reporters after launching the National Com-munity Policy here yesterday.

Th e issue on the water deal re-

surfaced in the middle of last year when Dr Mahathir described the price of raw water sold to Singa-pore as ‘unreasonable’ and said he planned to renegotiate the terms of the deal.

The water deal, which ends in 2061, entitles Singapore to re-ceive up to 250 million gallons a day (mgd) of raw water from Sun-gai Johor.

Singapore pays three sen for every 1,000 gallons of raw water, and resells treated water to Johor at 50 sen for every 1,000 gallons. Johor acquired daily supply of treat-ed water up to 2% or 5mgd of raw water supplied to the republic. — Bernama

Sunway REIT 1H19 results within expectations

Yinson Holdings Bhd(Feb 15, RM4.20)Maintain buy with a target price (TP) of RM5.42: Yinson Holdings Bhd announced last Th ursday that it had accepted a letter of award from JX Nippon to undertake a contract to provide operation and maintenance (O&M) works to FPSO Layang. Th e contract is for a fi rm period of eight years, with options for 10-year extensions and a yearly renewal option. Th e aggre-gate value of the contract is US$578 million (RM2.36 billion). We regard this as positive, as it provides the company with another recurring earnings base for the long term.

Annual revenue contribution is expected to be RM133 million per annum, with impact on earnings estimated at about RM50 million.

We raise financial year 2020 forecast earnings by 15% as we factor in the O&M earnings con-tribution from FPSO Layang. As a result, our sum-of-parts-based TP rises to RM5.42 from RM5.20. We reiterate our “buy” call as we

believe the company is in an opti-mal position to secure at least one more major fl oating production storage and offl oading (FPSO) con-tract in 2019 due to the strength of its balance sheet. Adding to that, the only project management risk that it currently faces is only on the FPSO Layang — and based on its track record, we believe Yinson has more than enough capacity to take up another major project this year.

We are maintaining our val-uations, despite delays in the fi -nalisation of the contract. Th is is mainly due to our expectation that Yinson will secure another potential contract from Mexico or Brazil in 2019, as most of its competitors have their hands full with orders in hand.

Downside risks to our call in-clude delays in FPSO Layang com-mencing works, the cancellation of a potential FPSO Nigeria contract (which could drop our TP by 76 sen), and delays in Brazil and Mex-ico’s FPSO contract awards in 2019. — RHB Research Institute, Feb 15

Yinson expected to win at least one more major FPSO contract in 2019

Sunway Real Estate Investment Trust(Feb 15, RM1.75)Maintain hold with a target price (TP) of RM1.88: Sunway Real Es-tate Investment Trust (Sunway REIT) posted a realised net profi t of RM139.5 million in fi rst half of fi nancial year 2019 (1HFY19). Re-sults came in within expectations, accounting for 47% and 49% of our and consensus full-year estimates respectively.

A distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.25 sen (-5.5% year-on-year [y-o-y]) was declared for this quar-ter, bringing the total year-to-date FY19 DPU to 4.73 sen (-6.3% y-o-y). Th is translates into an annualised distribution yield of 5.4%, based on last Friday’s closing price.

In comparison, Sunway REIT’s 1HFY19 net property income (NPI) widened 0.2% to RM214.7 million, in tandem with a 0.2% increase in revenue. Th e slightly better per-

formance was mainly attributed to the higher performance of all segments but partially off set by a weaker performance from the ho-tel segment.

However, the 1HFY19 realised net profi t fell 6.3% y-o-y to RM139.4 million, largely impacted by high-er fi nance cost (+19.7%) due to a drawdown of loans for new acqui-sitions and capital expenditure, as well as the higher average cost of debt following the increase in the overnight policy rate by 25 basis points in January 2018.

In terms of segmental perfor-mance, the retail segment’s NPI increased 3% y-o-y as revenue ad-vanced by 1.4% y-o-y. Th e higher NPI was attributable to lower ad-vertising and promotional expens-es at Sunway Pyramid. Sunway Pyramid recorded revenue growth of 3.4% y-o-y as the mall achieved better turnover rent during the pe-riod under review. However, Sun-

Power sectorMaintain neutral on respective sectors: It has been reported that the Energy Commission is request-ing proposals for the development of its third round of large-scale so-lar (LSS) projects. Capacity to be tendered will be between 1mw and 100mw, with a target aggregate ca-pacity of 500mw in Peninsular Ma-laysia. Commissioning is expected in 2021. Undoubtedly a positive development considering the gov-ernment’s plan to signifi cantly in-crease the country’s electricity from renewable sources from the cur-rent 2% of the total generation mix, this will open up many more op-portunities to incumbents and/or new entrants, with fi nancial impact likely to be more noticeable on the smaller players. We maintain our “neutral” call on the sector.

Th e government has set a target of 20% of the country’s electricity to be generated from renewable sourc-es by 2025, an increase from the 2% mix currently. In order to achieve the 20% target, about 3,991mw of new energy capacity will be required for addition to the grid. Other than LSS projects, the government also plans to increase electricity generation

way Putra Mall’s revenue dipped 2.2% y-o-y due to attractive rental packages off ered to selected ten-ants as a strategy to maintain the vibrancy of the mall.

The hospitality segment rev-

enue and NPI decreased 12.5% y-o-y and 17.2% respectively, pri-marily due to lower overall aver-age occupancy rate on the back of the soft market condition within the hospitality industry. Notably,

Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa’s rev-enue and NPI plunged 67% and 69% respectively in 1HFY19 which was largely due to a lower average occupancy rate of 64.2% versus 82.1% a year ago. Th is follows the closure of the hotel’s grand ball-room, meeting and function rooms for refurbishment.

The office segment’s revenue and NPI increased by 16% y-o-y and 34.4% y-o-y respectively in 1HFY19. Th e better performance was mainly contributed by Menara Sunway and Sunway Putra Tower with higher occupancy rates.

Th ere is no change to our divi-dend discount model-derived TP of RM1.88 per share. Sunway RE-IT’s share price has appreciated 6.1% since we upgraded the stock to “buy” in December 2018.

Power sector to gain from govt plan to expand use of renewable sources

through the various other feed-in-tariff sources, namely biogas, bio-mass, geothermal mini-hydro as well as solar and net-energy-metering mechanisms (that is energy con-sumer to sell surplus solar energy to the grid).

Th e capacity for this new tender of LSS development will be between 1mw and 100mw with a target aggre-gate capacity of 500mw in Peninsular Malaysia. Th e various projects are expected to be commissioned by 2021. We believe this could benefi t Cypark Resources given its tech-nical expertise and experience as the developer and operator of so-

Other benefi ciaries may be Malakoff Corp Bhd, YTL Power International Bhd, Tenaga Nasional Bhd and Ra-nhill Holdings Bhd.

Th e fi rst two cycles of LSS pro-jects have a total installed capacity of 958mw. To date, we believe fi ve pro-jects with capacities of 131mw have reached their commercial operation status, with the remaining having a commission operation date in 2019-2020. — PublicInvest Research, Feb 15

Contingency write-backs seen for Dialog

Gas Malaysia Bhd(Feb 15, RM2.80)Maintain buy with a target price (TP) of RM 3.50: Gas Malaysia Bhd (GMB)’s 4QFY18 reported earnings declined by -16.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM51.1 million versus RM61.3 million in 4QFY17. Th is brings the company’s cumu-lative FY18 earnings to come in broadly within ours and consen-sus expectations at RM180.4 mil-lion, making up 93% and 96% of our and consensus FY18 earnings estimates respectively.

Th e decline is mainly due to lower gas contribution margin recognised during the quarter as a result of a one-off catch up gas cost pass-through (GCPT) adjustment made in the preced-ing quarter. Th at said, earnings during the quarter were sup-ported by revenue which ex-panded by +19.4% y-o-y largely due to the higher volume of nat-ural gas sold and higher natural gas tariff .

We reiterate our view that we opine gas sales volume for FY19 will continue to sustain and reg-ister year-over-year growth. Our current gas volume growth pro-jection is between 6-6.5%. Our assumption is premised on re-silient national gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.9% for 2019. Moving forward, we believe

Stronger FY19 gas sales volume expected for Gas Malaysia

Dialog Group Bhd(Feb 15, RM3.15)Maintain buy with fair value (FV) of RM 3.66: We reiterate our “buy” recommendation on Dialog Group with an unchanged sum-of-parts-based (SOP) fair value of RM3.66/share, which implies an FY20F (forecast) price-to-earnings (PE) of 38 times — 17% below its fi ve-year peak of 46 times. Our SOP values the 650-acre (263.05ha) buffer land in Pengerang at RM80 per sq ft (psf.).

We maintain Dialog’s FY19F-FY20F earnings as its 1HFY19 net profi t of RM251 million was largely in line with our expectations, ac-counting for 51% of our FY19F net profi t but 54% of consensus.

As 2QFY19 results included lumpy cost contingency write-backs for the construction of the RM6.3 billion Pengerang Deepwa-ter Terminal (PDT) Phase 2, there is a likelihood that we may raise our FY19F earnings forecast if 3QFY19 results remain as strong.

As a comparison, 1HFY16-1QFY18 earnings accounted for 41-48% of their respective years. For comparison of core earnings, we have excluded the 2QFY18 ex-ceptional fair value gain of RM66 million from the acquisition of an eff ective 36% equity stake in the Tanjung Langsat tank terminals in Johor for RM137 million cash from MISC.

Notwithstanding Dialog’s Ma-laysian revenue dropping by 14% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q), its 2QFY19 net profi t rose 19% q-o-q to RM137 million mainly due to the reversal of project contingen-

cies for PDT Phase 2, as Phase 2A was completed in November 2018. Th is also drove contributions from associates/JV to rise 32% q-o-q to RM41 million. With the completion of Phase 2B by June this year, we expect further write-backs of cost contingencies in 2HFY19. Addi-tionally, the group benefi ted from stronger 2QFY19 overseas contri-butions, which climbed 37% q-o-q to RM22 million.

Despite Dialog’s extensive over-seas operations, the group’s main earnings driver still stems from do-mestic operations which account for 88% of 1HFY19 pre-tax profi t.

Th e group has already reached progress stage of 30% for land rec-lamation of Pengerang Phase 3, which involves the construction of petroleum/petrochemical storage and a third jetty at an indicative in-itial cost of RM2.5 billion, in which Dialog will have an 80% equity stake and the Johor state 20%.

We expect any co-investments in petrochemical operations with multinational players to be associ-ate-level, value-enhancing and in-ternally funded without any equity raising requirements.

Th is will be part of a 500-acre zone comprising further reclaim-able land and the adjoining buff er zone. Additionally, Dialog will be expanding its dormant Langsat Terminal 3 into a 300,000 m3 stor-age facility.

Dialog trades at a FY20F PE of 32x, below its fi ve-year peak of 46x. We view its higher-than-peer pre-mium as justifi ed given Dialog’s long-term recurring cash fl ow-gen-erating businesses, which are large-ly cushioned from volatile crude oil price cycles, and further under-pinned by the Pengerang develop-ment’s multi-year value rerating bonanza together with healthy net cash balance. — AmInvestment Bank, Feb 15

ter-on-quarter [q-o-q]) was due to stronger sales volume in the premi-um segment, higher associate profi ts, and a lower tax rate.

We earlier expected weak sales in 4Q18 as clients stocked up in 3Q18 prior to sales and service tax (SST) on Sept 1, 2018. Yet, CAB still posted strong sales in 4Q18 as demand re-mained robust and there were pos-itive government eff orts to reduce illicit trade.

Heading into 2019, we see two growth drivers for CAB. We expect Singapore operations to improve with better inventory management and restructuring of its operations

Trump’s ‘national emergency’is a dangerous fraudDeclaring a bogus one to overrule Congress on public spending is an aff ront to the Constitution

BY T H E E D I TO R S

THE world has witnessed many sharp economic declines over the years, but Venezuela’s is surely one of the worst to date. The coun-try has experienced a loss of real (inflation-adjusted) GDP greater than that of most war-ravaged countries during World War II, and its inflation rate is expected to reach 10,000,000% this year. At well over 100 times the black market rate, the official exchange rate depreciates so rapidly that a quote has lost its meaning by the time it is published.

Under these conditions, food — 90% of which must be import-ed — is so scarce that the average Venezuelan is estimated to have lost 24 pounds (10.9kg); and an estimated three million Venezue-lans (representing around 10% of the population) have fled. Pow-er outages, water and medicine shortages, and near-famine have been persistent features of Presi-dent Nicolas Maduro’s brutal and incompetent reign.

Until the 1960s, Venezuela’s per capita GDP was the highest in Latin America, at around 80% that of the US. Today, it is under 30%, and also well below that of Chile,

BY A N N E O K R U EG E R

What next for Venezuela? Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. For comparison, in 1990, Colombia’s per capita GDP was about half that of Venezuela.

With the world’s largest oil re-serves, Venezuela counts on hy-drocarbons for over 90% of its export earnings. But its oil output has fallen from a peak of about 3.5 million barrels per day in the late 1990s to around 1.3 million in 2018, with production expected to decline to 700,000 in the next couple of years.

In fact, even when the oil price has been rising, the country’s out-put has declined, owing to a lack of maintenance and investment, theft of material, Maduro’s ap-pointment of inexperienced mil-itary allies as managers, and the outmigration of oil workers who can earn much more elsewhere. An oil worker at Petróleos de Ven-ezuela, SA (PDVSA), the state-owned oil company, recently told the Wall Street Journal that he earns around US$8 (RM32.72) per month, adjusted for purchasing power parity.

Venezuela’s plight is largely self-inflicted. Despite rising oil prices, the Chavist regime allowed fiscal deficits to bulge to 24% of GDP in 2014. And since oil prices were still near their peak that year, those deficits have been financed by printing money, leading to ac-

celerating inflation. Making mat-ters worse, the government has imposed price controls so severe that retailers are required to sell their goods at a loss.

Beyond these clumsy attempts to regulate economic activity, the regime’s increasingly brutal crack-down on dissent and erosion of the country’s democratic insti-tutions have made matters even worse. Under Maduro’s watch, ba-sic services have ceased function-ing. In 2016, government workers were told to show up for just two days per week, in order to con-serve electricity; the country suf-fered mass power outages anyway.

In January, Maduro held his second inauguration, after win-ning a fraudulent presidential election last May. In response, many Latin American countries, along with Canada, the US, and some European Union member states, have recognised the speak-er of the National Assembly, Juan Guaido, as Venezuela’s legitimate president, in accordance with the country’s constitutional line of succession. In addition, the US, a major market for Venezuelan oil exports, has sanctioned the Maduro regime, frozen its bank accounts, and directed payments by US companies for Venezuelan oil into a new account that will be made available to Guaido.

In the face of mass protests, Maduro has continued to resort to the intimidation, imprison-ment, and starvation of opposi-tion figures, while bribing military leaders for their support. Yet the question is not whether Maduro can hang on, but for how long. His regime cannot last indefinitely, and when it falls, Venezuela will have pressing needs.

For starters, the country will require humanitarian aid on a vast scale. Hospitals must be re-supplied, schools reopened, and public transportation and oth-er vital services restored. And food must be made available to a severely undernourished pop-ulation.

At the same time, Venezuela will need reforms to end ram-paging inflation, restore macro-economic stability, and revive economic activity. It will also re-quire financial support to import supplies and repair machinery and equipment. This applies not just to oil production, but to all economic sectors.

Rebuilding Venezuela will be a long process. In wartime, pro-duction tends to fall because the enemy disables key infrastructure such as railroad junctions and power-generation facilities. In Venezuela, it is as if the country has been waging total war on it-

self: vital operational centres are malfunctioning because routine maintenance has been neglected and investment discouraged for more than a decade.

The challenge, then, is to re-store a stable macroeconomic environment and business climate while simultaneously improving the lot of Venezuelan citizens, so that they will continue to support political reforms. This would not be easy even in a country that has been far less ravaged than Venezuela.

One hopes that Venezuela’s next leaders and the international community understand the nature of the challenge, and will take the steps needed to maintain social peace during the reconstruction. Venezuelans can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. But dif-ficult days lie ahead. — Project Syndicate

US President Donald Trump has followed through on his ear-lier threat to declare a national emergen-cy over border secu-

rity, and use executive authority to spend more than Congress has allowed on his so-called wall. This is an abuse of his office. Trump is letting the country down — and so are the Republicans in Congress who have said they will go along.

To begin with, there is no emer-gency at the border. Th ere is an on-going problem of illegal crossings — but on the whole it is less seri-ous now than in previous years.

Securing the border does mat-ter: Trump is right about that, and Democrats look foolish when they seem to deny it. But spending billions more on a wall built to Trump’s specifi cations is not the answer. Th e compromise spend-ing bill that Congress and the president just agreed to includes US$1.375 billion (RM5.62 billion) on additional barriers and other border-security measures. The

idea that the country is imper-iled by the failure to spend an additional US$6 billion and up, on a wall that is mainly intended to save Trump’s face, is risible.

Making his announcement, the president said that national emer-gencies are no big deal. “It’s been signed by other presidents,” he said. “Th ere’s rarely been a prob-lem. Th ey sign it, nobody cares.” It is true that many declarations of emergency are currently on the books, but this ignores the central point. Th e proper use of these measures is to speed the urgent deployment of resources when ordinary budget procedures cannot move quickly enough. It is emphatically not to provide re-sources for purposes that Con-gress — granted the power of the purse by the Constitution — has overtly rejected.

Th is is why Trump’s use of the emergency power is in fact a big deal: It is an assault on the divi-sion of powers.

His action is certain to face le-gal challenge on multiple fronts, as the president wearily acknowl-edged. In the end, the courts may

grant him some fl exibility to repur-pose funds already appropriat-ed, and could even grant him some circumscribed version of

emergency authority. It is likely, though, that Trump does not actu-ally care. For the moment, he can claim that he is doing all he can,

and if the law tells him to stop, he can hardly be blamed for failing. In other words, this initiative may in the end prove to be just more pointless, divisive theatre, rather than a conscientious attempt to seize illegal power.

Even if that is true, the action is grossly irresponsible — because it does challenge the Constitution’s division of powers as though this is a small matter. It is shocking that Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell says he backs Trump’s initiative. (Some Repub-licans, to their credit, have refused to go along with this.) McConnell’s position is both disgraceful and ill-advised, because if Trump does somehow succeed in expanding the scope of executive authority, the next Democratic president will be equally empowered to override Congress’s spending priorities.

The president’s carelessness over constitutional propriety is an insult to history. But so, too, is the failure of Republicans in Congress to discharge their duties under the Constitution — and to defend the prerogatives of their branch of government. — Bloomberg

Elon Musk left OpenAI on disagreements about company directionHONG KONG: Elon Musk de-cided to exit OpenAI, an artifi -cial intelligence (AI) research group, over disagreements about the company’s devel-opment, Tesla Inc chief exec-utive offi cer said in a twitter post. Musk has to focus on “a painfully large number of en-gineering and manufacturing problems” at Tesla & SpaceX, he said, adding that he has not “been involved closely” with OpenAI for more than a year.

I N BR I E FHong Kong’s growth halved in 4QTh e economy was hit by trade war, slowing retail sales

TOKYO: A Nissan Motor gov-ernance committee will rec-ommend the appointment of an external director as board chairman, a role distinct from company chairman, in a move to decentralise power at the top level, the Nikkei business daily reported yesterday.

Under Nissan’s current corporate charter, the posi-tion of board chair is auto-matically appointed to head the company board, the Nik-kei said, citing a source. For-mer chairman Carlos Ghosn had filled both roles prior to his arrest in November for under-reporting his salary for eight years.

The issue of Nissan’s chair-manship is now particularly important after the Japanese firm identified the concentra-tion of power in one executive as one of the reasons Ghosn was able to carry out his al-leged fiscal misconduct.

Speculation has swirled about whether the newly ap-pointed chairman of France’s Renault, Jean-Dominique Senard, would assume the chairmanship of the Japanese automaker.

The Nikkei report comes after the governance com-mittee said in a statement that the separation between operation and oversight was among topics discussed last Friday at the committee’s third meeting since it was formed in December after Ghosn’s arrest.

The panel, comprising three Nissan external board directors and four third-par-ty members, is scheduled to make recommendations to Nissan’s board in March on how to tighten lax governance and approval processes for matters including director compensation and chairman selection. — Reuters

HONG KONG: The trade war between the US and China and slowing retail sales dragged Hong Kong’s economy growth down at the end of last year, with exports showing almost “zero growth”.

forts to deepen the fi nancial market and ensure stability are hampered by inadequate syariah securities at its disposal, he said.

BI is increasingly relying on its money market operations to ensure liquidity for banks after raising rates by a total of 175 points since May to counter a sell-off in its curren-cy triggered by rising US interest rates. With the risks of a prolonged US-China trade war lingering, the central bank has been intervening in the currency and bond market to quell volatility.

Th e central bank began off ering a sovereign sukuk-backed securi-

ties, known as sukbi, to conven-tional and syariah banks from last year and the instrument has found favour with the banks. Th e bank sold four trillion rupiah (RM1.15 billion) of seven- and 14-day tenors in its latest auction last Wednesday.

Th e purchase of foreign global sukuk would be limited to top rat-ed securities, said Nanang Hendar-sah, executive director for monetary management at BI. “We have some in our foreign reserves and we are waiting for an endorsement from the National Shariah Board” to approve the plan to use them as underlying assets in sukbi. — Bloomberg

HONG KONG: Deutsche Bank AG’s top investor, HNA Group Co, continued to reduce its stake in the German lender as the debt-laden Chinese conglomerate prepares to exit one of its most high-profile purchases.

HNA’s C-Quadrat unit exer-cised options to sell 26.8 mil-lion Deutsche Bank shares for €363.4 million (RM1.68 billion), reducing its ownership to 6.3%, according to a fi ling with the Securities and Exchange Com-mission. Th e shares were sold at prices ranging from €11.45 to €16.70 apiece, far above cur-rent market prices, because the Chinese group had hedged its investment in Deutsche Bank with put options. Deutsche Bank shares closed at €7.752 in Frankfurt last Friday.

Th e deal marks the latest dis-posal for HNA, which was one of China’s most acquisitive com-panies until it began facing li-quidity challenges and pressure from the government. Since last year, the Chinese conglomerate has agreed to sell more than US$20 billion (RM81.8 billion) of assets ranging from property to big shareholdings.

HNA plans to dispose of its entire stake in Germany’s larg-est lender, people briefed on the matter have said. Th e Chi-nese group once held almost 10% of Deutsche Bank. In July of last year C-Quadrat trans-ferred options on more than 26 million of its Deutsche Bank shares to JPMorgan Securities plc. — Bloomberg

LONDON: British regional airline fl ybmi announced last Saturday it had ceased operations and was fi ling for administration, blaming spikes in fuel and carbon costs and uncertainty over Brexit.

Parent company British Midland Regional Limited said it had can-celled all fl ights with immediate eff ect, and would not be able to pur-chase, rearrange or reschedule any bookings on behalf of customers.

fl ybmi, based in the East Mid-lands region of England, operated 17 aircraft on routes to 25 Europe-an cities, and had 376 employees based in Britain, Germany, Sweden and Belgium.

“It is with a heavy heart that we have made this unavoidable an-nouncement today,” a company spokesperson said in a statement posted on its website.

“Th e airline has faced several diffi culties, including recent spikes in fuel and carbon costs.

“Current trading and future prospects have also been seriously aff ected by the uncertainty created by the Brexit process,” the spokes-person added.

SANTIAGO/BUENOS AIRES: Chi-nese ride-hailing giant Didi Chux-ing is planning to take on US rival Uber in some of Latin America’s fastest-growing markets, recruiting managers in Chile, Peru and Co-lombia, according to job postings and a company offi cial.

Didi has moved senior exec-utives from China to lead its ex-pansion in markets like Chile and Peru, and began in recent weeks advertising for driver operations, crisis management, marketing and business development personnel

in those countries, an analysis of LinkedIn postings show.

Didi’s widening expansion, if successful, could make for a bump-ier ride for San Francisco-based Uber Technologies Inc in Latin America, one of its fastest growth regions, as it gets ready to go public as soon as later this year.

Th e two fi rms are already bat-tling in Brazil, where Didi bought local start-up 99 in January last year, and Mexico, where the Chinese fi rm lured drivers with higher pay and bonuses for signing up other drivers and passengers.

Didi is China’s dominant ride-hailing fi rm and is backed by

investors including Japan’s Soft-Bank Group Corp. In 2016, Didi bought Uber’s local Chinese op-erations following a bruising two-year battle for domination in China.

Th e push comes as Didi is laying off staff in China as it grapples with regulatory scrutiny, reportedly sig-nifi cant fi nancial losses and public backlash over the murder of two of its customers, sources told Reuters.

Th e fi rm’s new Chile public aff airs manager, Felipe Contreras, who was previously Uber’s corporate commu-nications chief in Chile, confi rmed reports Didi was looking to hire a senior executive from Chilean cel-lular phone company WOM to lead

its engagement with government and public policy operations.

“We haven’t announced a date; this is internal to the company,” he said when asked about the timing of the hiring.

Contreras confi rmed the launch plans and told Reuters that the com-pany’s aim was to be a “market lead-er” in Chile based on “quality”, in a market where Uber, Spain’s Cabify and Greece’s Beat already transport thousands of passengers a day.

Didi is still mulling the “best time” to launch its local service, he said, saying: “We are still in the planning and recruitment phase.” — Reuters

LONDON: Ryanair is notorious for keeping costs low, but its chief executive’s (CEO) new incentive scheme is anything but frugal. Th e budget airline has granted Michael O’Leary (pic) share op-tions that could be worth almost €100 million if he doubles Rya-nair’s net profi t or share price by 2024. Th ough the target looks de-manding, it’s well within reach.

Th e €13 billion company has been losing altitude for over a year. A botched pilot rota in 2017 led to a wave of strikes that blunt-ed Ryanair’s competitive edge. O’Leary has issued two profit warnings since October and cut winter fares by 7%. Ryanair shares are down about 40% from their August 2017 high of €19.23.

Th at makes O’Leary’s bonus look a stretch. Ryanair has grant-ed him options over 10 million shares which he can exercise at €11.12 if the airline’s net income reaches €2 billion — from an ex-pected €1 billion in the current fi -nancial year — or the share price rises above €21. If exercised, the options would lift O’Leary’s stake to over 5%, making him Ryanair’s largest shareholder.

Yet the targets are not as out-landish as they may seem. Ryanair already plans to boost passenger numbers to 200 million by 2024, from an expected 142 million in the year to March 2019. Lower fares and labour disputes probably dragged net profi t per passenger down to about €7 this year. But if that fi gure recovers to €10 — less than Ryanair has achieved in the past — and the company hits its passenger targets, O’Leary will collect his reward.

Ryanair can argue that the package is good for sharehold-ers. At €21 per share, investors would be more than €11 billion better off than they were on Feb 8, when O’Leary was handed the options. Th e question, however, is how much of this is within his control. In the cyclical airline industry, earnings are highly de-pendent on the price of oil and the success or failure of rivals. Ryanair’s management deserves much of the blame for staff strikes that led to widespread fl ight can-cellations. A recovery may be less challenging than it looks. — Reuters

WASHINGTON: The explosive assertion that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (pic) considered secretly recording US President Donald Trump has been backed up in private testimony to Congress by two Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lawyers.

NEW YORK: Prime Minister Th eresa May launched a desperate appeal to her Conservative Party lawmak-ers to unite behind her in driving through a Brexit agreement that might be palatable to European Union (EU) leaders.

In a letter to her members of par-liament, May said she is planning to return to Brussels for further talks with European Commission Presi-dent Jean-Claude Juncker next week and plans to speak to the leader of every EU member state in the days ahead. Gaining headway in Brussels will depend largely on whether she

WASHINGTON: US President Don-ald Trump demanded that Europe-an nations take back their citizens who joined Islamic State (IS) and were captured by US-allied forces in Syria and Iraq, warning the pris-oners would otherwise be released.

“Time for others to step up and do the job that they are so capable of doing,” Trump said in a subsequent tweet, adding that the US is “pulling back” once it can claim a “100% Caliphate victory.”

Trump has frequently ha-rangued US allies for what he considers their inadequate con-tribution to North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other mutual defence arrangements. US of-fi cials have estimated there are about 800 prisoners from four dozen countries at a series of Kurdish-run prisons and holding facilities across northern Syria. Kurdish offi cials have estimated the number of family members of captured fi ghters may top 4,000.

As Trump seeks to withdraw the US military from Syria, there is concern that the Kurds — fac-ing the threat of a Turkish attack in the absence of their American allies — may be unable or unwill-ing to hold the prisoners. Th at risks IS fi ghters being released to again take up arms.

Another potential fate for the militant captives is that they end up in the custody of Syrian Pres-ident Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Th e US preference has been for countries that the IS fi ghters orig-inally came from to take respon-sibility for them. — Bloomberg

MANILA: Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte signed into law last Friday key economic meas-ures that are seen to help lower rice prices, strengthen the central bank and bolster state revenues.

Duterte signed a bill that would remove caps on rice imports and boost supply of the staple grain, according to Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea. Th e measure is expected to help cool infl ation, which in 2018 accelerated to the fastest pace in nine years.

The president approved amendments to the central bank charter that would expand its pow-ers, restore the institution’s abil-ity to issue debt to give it greater fl exibility in monetary operations, and pave the way for the injection of additional government capital.

Th e new law gives the central bank “an enhanced legal and reg-ulatory framework in providing a steadying hand to the fi nancial system,” governor Nestor Espe-nilla said in a statement on Sat-urday. — Bloomberg

with the idea of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump as president.

Sally Moyer, who worked in the FBI’s Office of General Counsel, was not in the room when Rosen-stein allegedly raised the idea of wearing a wire in order to secretly record interactions with Trump. But she testified behind closed doors in October 2018 of being told that the conversation had taken place during a high-level Justice Department (DoJ) meet-ing in the days after Trump fired FBI director James Comey on May 9, 2017.

Rosenstein, who plans to leave his DoJ post soon, has denied that he ever “pursued or authorised recording the president,” and DoJ officials have presented the epi-sode as a passing, sarcastic refer-ence. Yet former FBI deputy di-

rector Andrew McCabe, who was also fired, said in an interview to be broadcast on CBS’s 60 Minutes yesterday that Rosenstein repeat-ed the idea more than once, and that the suggestion was taken so seriously that it was brought to lawyers at the FBI.

A review of the unreleased transcript of Moyer’s closed-door testimony to members of two House committees from Oct 23, 2018, buttresses McCabe’s ver-sion.

So, too, does the testimony of former FBI General Counsel James Baker, who discussed with the Oversight and Judiciary commit-tees during two days of closed-door questioning — on Oct 3 and 18, 2018 — what he had been told contemporaneously of Rosen-stein’s suggestions about taping Trump. — Bloomberg

can show a united front at home.May urged her party to “move

beyond what divides us” and sac-rifice “personal preferences” to unite in the “higher service of the national interest.”

Th e Times newspaper suggest-ed May’s rhetoric will not work. It reported that Steve Baker, deputy chairman of the eurosceptic Euro-pean Research Group, told his col-leagues that Brussels and London were pretending to negotiate while running down the clock so May’s Brexit deal can be forced through parliament.

Lawmakers rejected her deal by a huge margin last Friday, and

another vote last week failed after a hard-line group of Brexit-backing members of parliament shot down any hopes May had of getting it ap-proved. Getting that bloc, while in the minority of the parliamentary party, to break bread with moder-ates has proved elusive to the point of hopeless since May triggered the Article 50 exit clause almost two years ago.

One senior member of May’s administration has said she proba-bly has two weeks to save her deal before the House of Commons takes the process out of her hands, in a vote scheduled for Feb 27. — Bloomberg

HANOI: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will arrive in Vietnam on Feb 25 in advance of a planned second summit with US President Donald Trump, three sources with direct knowledge of his schedule told the Reuters news agency on Saturday.

Trump and Kim are due to meet in Hanoi on Feb 27 and Feb 28 fol-lowing their historic fi rst meeting last June in Singapore.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last Th ursday Wash-ington aims to “get as far down the road as we can” at the summit.

Kim will also meet with Viet-namese offi cials when he arrives in Hanoi, said the sources, who requested anonymity citing the sensitivity and secrecy surround-ing the movements of the North Korean leader.

He will also visit the Vietnam-ese manufacturing base of Bac Ninh and the industrial port town of Hai Phong, one source said.

Vietnam’s President and gener-

al-secretary of the ruling Commu-nist Party, Nguyen Phu Trong, will meet Kim before a planned trip by Trong to neighbouring Laos, one of the sources told Reuters.

A Reuters witness saw Kim’s close aide, Kim Chang-son, in Ha-noi on Saturday visiting a govern-ment guesthouse and the Metro-pole and Melia hotels in the centre of the capital.

Reuters was fi rst to report last month that Hanoi was preparing to receive Kim for a state visit this month.

Communist-ruled Vietnam, which has embraced economic reforms and developed close dip-lomatic ties with its former foe the US, has been widely touted as a model of reform for isolated and impoverished North Korea.

The former Cold War allies, which share a similar socialist ideology and exchanged military and political support during the Vietnam War, are eyeing a new chapter in relations following Ha-noi’s opening up and embrace of the West. — Reuters

Challenges to Trump emergency declaration face uphill battleConservative-majority Supreme Court likely to decide showdown

WILMINGTON (Delaware)/NEW YORK: Democratic lawmakers, states and others mulling legal challenges to President Donald Trump’s national emergency dec-laration to obtain funds to build a US-Mexico border wall face an up-hill and probably losing battle in a showdown likely to be decided by the conservative-majority Supreme Court, legal experts said.

After being rebuff ed by the US Congress in his request for US$5.7 billion (RM23.31 billion) to help build the wall that was a signature 2016 campaign promise, Trump on Friday invoked emergency pow-ers given to the president under a 1976 law. Th e move, according to the White House, enables Trump to bypass lawmakers and redirect money already appropriated by Congress for other purposes and use it for wall construction.

Peter Shane, a professor at Ohio State University’s Moritz College of

Law, said challenges to the emer-gency declaration could end up as a replay of the legal battle against Trump’s travel ban targeting people from several Muslim-majority na-tions. Th e Supreme Court last year upheld the travel ban after lower courts had ruled against Trump, with the justices giving the pres-ident deference on immigration and national security issues.

Trump has painted illegal immi-gration and drug traffi cking across the border as a national security threat.

“Courts are reluctant to sec-ond-guess the president on matters of national security,” Shane said.

Democrats, state attorneys general and at least one advoca-cy group have vowed to take the Republican president to court over the declaration.

“I’ll sign the fi nal papers as soon as I get into the Oval Offi ce and we’ll have a national emergency and then we’ll be sued,” Trump said at the White House.

Th e National Emergencies Act of 1976 has been invoked dozens of times by presidents without a single successful legal challenge. Congress never defi ned a national emergency in the law.

Th e legal experts said Trump’s declaration could be challenged on at least two fronts: that there is no genuine emergency and that Trump’s action overstepped his powers because under the US Con-stitution, Congress has authority over federal appropriations, not the president.

Trump made the declaration af-ter asking Congress to appropriate US$5.7 billion for wall construction and lawmakers gave him none.

Th e Supreme Court has a 5-4 conservative majority that includes two justices appointed by Trump — Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.

Chief Justice John Roberts has emerged as the court’s swing vote, and the decision on the legality of Trump’s action could come down to him.— Reuters

MUNICH: US President Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of a landmark arms control treaty with Russia is turning the worst fears of a dangerous weapons race into reality.

Th e US and its allies are laying the groundwork to deploy new in-termediate-range missiles in Europe for the fi rst time since they were banned in a 1987 treaty, a move that would prompt a tit-for-tat Russian response. With a second nuclear pact likely to expire in two years, the risks of confrontation are growing.

Jens Stoltenberg, North Atlantic Treaty Organisation’s top civilian, cited recent Russian deployments and evoked a Cold War-style threat of nuclear destruction at a global conference of security and defence offi cials this weekend in Munich, the baroque German metropolis that is one of Europe’s richest cities.

“Th ese missiles are mobile, easy to hide and nuclear-capable. Th ey can reach European cities, like Munich, with little warning,” Stoltenberg said.

As US offi cials accused Russia of provoking the crisis by violating the accord, German Chancellor Angela Merkel voiced a sense of alarm that’s spreading in Europe

as the two big powers trade blame.“We’re stuck with the conse-

quences. At the same time, blind rearmament can’t be the answer,” she said.

Th e looming standoff puts Wash-ington and Moscow on a path back to the era of the 1950s and 1960s when the two superpowers were rapidly building up their strategic forces. It risks destroying decades of arms control eff orts under which the rivals accepted limits on their arsenals in the wake of the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, which took them to the brink of a nuclear clash.

“Are we getting closer to the 60s

when we had an uncontrolled Cold War?” said Finnish President Sauli Niinisto.

“Are we heading to a situation where we must see that it’s the end of diplomacy?”

Poland, which already hosts US missile-defence systems that have angered Russia, is seen as a po-tential site to host the American weapons, along with the ex-Soviet Baltic countries and other neigh-bours. Polish Foreign Minister Ja-cek Czaputowicz said any missile deployment in his country would be decided “collectively by allies.” — Bloomberg

ISLAMABAD: Saudi Arabia’s power-ful crown prince arrived in Pakistan yesterday, the start of an Asian tour during which he will seek lucrative contracts.

Mohammed bin Salman, wide-ly known as “MBS”, is expected to land in the capital Islamabad and will stay in Pakistan until today.

His trip comes amid high ten-sions in the region: India and Sau-di Arabia’s arch-rival Iran — both bordering Pakistan — have ac-cused Islamabad of backing mil-itant groups which have carried out bloody suicide attacks on their soil in recent days.

After Pakistan, MBS will travel to India, where he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pe-troleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

He is expected to fi nish the trip with a visit to China on Th ursday and Friday.

Two short stops initially sched-uled for yesterday and today in Indonesia and Malaysia were postponed on Saturday without explanation.

Th e Asia trip comes fi ve months after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a fi erce critic of MBS, at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul ignited a diplomatic crisis.

Turkey said last Friday it has not yet revealed all the information it has uncovered in the extraor-dinary case, which launched a global wave of revulsion and has profoundly tarnished the image of the kingdom, especially that of the crown prince.

But for analysts, the Asia tour — the largest outing on the in-ternational scene for the crown prince since his participation in the Group of 20 summit in Argen-tina last December — is a timely demonstration to the West that he still has friends in rising Asia. — AFP

TOKYO: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe nominated US Pres-ident Donald Trump for the No-bel Peace Prize last autumn after receiving a request from the US government to do so, the Asahi newspaper reported yeserday.

The report follows Trump’s claim on Friday that Abe had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize for opening talks and easing tensions with North Korea.

The Japanese leader had given him “the most beautiful copy” of a five-page nomination letter, Trump said at a White House news conference.

The US government had sounded Abe out over the No-ble Peace Prize nomination af-ter Trump’s summit in June last year with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, the first meeting between a North Korean leader and a sitting US president, the Asahi said, citing an unnamed Japanese government source.

A spokesman for Japan’s For-eign Ministry here said the min-istry was aware of Trump’s re-marks, but “would refrain from commenting on the interaction between the two leaders”.

The White House had no im-mediate comment. — Reuters

Singapore plans cautious budget with an eye on electionFamiliar policy priorities include infrastructure spending, healthcare and digital economy support

BY M I C H E L L E J A M R I S KO

Singapore Finance Min-ister Heng Swee Keat will aim to strike a del-icate balance in today’s budget: preaching fiscal prudence while doling

out more social spending ahead of elections that could come as early as this year.

While not expected to be as head-line-grabbing as last year — when Heng fl agged a hike in the goods and services tax (GST) — the 2019 budget will cover a range of famil-iar policy priorities. Infrastructure spending, more healthcare support for a rapidly ageing population, and help for fi rms transitioning in a dig-ital economy were top-of-mind for Heng in a Jan 22 interview.

The global backdrop calls for more caution. Weaker demand and US-China trade tensions saw Sin-gapore’s export-reliant economy grow at a slower pace than expected in the fourth quarter, data showed last Friday.

“Expectations for a spending spree are high on past surplus-es, likely elections and downside economic risks,” Mohamed Faiz Nagutha, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch here, said before the data was released. Th ose expectations should be reined in since the economy “is not in a cri-sis,” he said.

The budget deficit could be smaller than projected, thanks to

improved tax collection. Nagutha sees a shortfall of 0.6% of gross do-mestic product (GDP) in the prima-ry balance, versus the government’s 1.6% estimate.

Here’s what else to look out for in the Singapore budget announce-ment:

Healthcare“Merdeka” will be the word of the day. Th at refers to a big portion of the population that came of age during Singapore’s independence era in the 1960s, and which the government plans to support through insurance subsidies, top-ups for medical sav-ings programmes, long-term care funding and other goodies.

Having already rolled out simi-lar assistance for the elder Pioneer Generation in fi scal 2014, the larger Merdeka Generation of almost a half-million citizens could benefi t from about S$8 billion (RM24.13 billion) in fresh spending, accord-ing to an estimate by economists at Maybank Kim Eng Research Pte. in Singapore.

Th e support is in line with the government’s messaging on en-suring the city state thrives even as its population ages at one of the fastest rates in Asia.

InfrastructureHeng and other offi cials have reiter-ated that they’re “not done building Singapore.” Last year’s infrastruc-ture component of the budget was quite broad, including the forma-

tion of a new government agency dedicated to acting as a broker for the region’s much-needed devel-opment projects.

This year, we are likely to see more housing than road-and-rail: Lee has already fl agged more spending to revamp public hous-ing, and the budget might build on those schemes. Since the intro-duction of housing curbs in mid-2018 to damp price increases, some homeowners have found it diffi cult to sell their properties. Look for some form of resale support, Citi-group Inc said Feb 7.

National securityNational security could make up a growing slice of the spending pie. While maritime skirmishes with neighbouring Malaysia have grabbed attention since the start of this year, Singapore officials may also boost defence spend-ing because of the rising threat of cybersecurity breaches and terrorism.

Defence spending is also over-due for an increase, having grown at less than half the pace of social or economic development, accord-ing to Barnabas Gan, an economist

at United Overseas Bank Ltd here. Th ere may also be further confi r-mation of a purchase of some F-35 fi ghter jets made by US defence giant Lockheed Martin Corp, the Maybank analysts suggest.

Digital businessHeng said last month that the budget will reserve some focus on helping small businesses adapt to a digital economy, so look for re-search and development incen-tives or other credits to help boost those fi rms.

The government could offer some support for firms looking to expand overseas, such as a fast track for grant approval in high-growth industries or more support for trade associations abroad, said Irvin Seah, an econ-omist at DBS Group Holdings Ltd in Singapore.

Tax tweaksHaving already announced an in-crease in the GST to 9% from 7% sometime in the 2021-25 period, there may be more detail on the plan in this year’s budget. Also pos-sible is further guidance on how Singapore plans to tax digital pur-chases, given last year’s announce-ment that a GST on imported ser-vices would take eff ect at the start of 2020.

IF China and the US are in the midst of a divorce, Europeans look increas-ingly like the children.

Th at was the impression given by a series of back-to-back appear-ances on Saturday, from US Pres-ident Mike Pence, Chinese polit-buro member Yang Jiechi, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The speeches put growing great power rivalries on display, but with Europe more the object of a custody battle than a participant.

Speaking at the annual Munich Security Conference, Yang looked like he was trying to drive a wedge between the US and its European Union (EU) allies, singling out trans-atlantic diff erences over multilater-alism and technology investment.

He spent much of his speech ex-tolling the virtues of cooperation, international organisations and free trade, popular in Europe, and at-tacked the dangers of “protection-ism,” as well as “hegemony and pow-

China, Russia team up for push to split US from Nato alliesBY M A R C C H A M P I O N er politics.” Th e US was not named,

but the target was clear.Yang disputed Pence’s warnings

that Chinese technology giant Hua-wei Technologies Co would expose European 5G networks to the risk of espionage and suggested that Euro-peans deserve more respect from their traditional ally.

“I hope some Americans will have a bit more confi dence in themselves and be a little more respectful to peo-ple, people in the so-called old world,’’ said Yang, a former Chinese ambas-sador to the US, using a common American euphemism for Europe. “People all know where their interests lie, so let there be fewer lecturers.’’

Tensions with USLavrov invited the EU to create an integrated economic space in Eur-asia with Russia and echoed Presi-dent Vladimir Putin’s recent public endorsement of French-led plans to build a European army.

“Whether the EU will be allowed to do that is another matter,’’ he added caustically.

Th ere is no shortage of tension in the EU-US alliance for potential rivals to exploit.

Pence repeated his demand for Europe to fall in line with more ag-gressive US policies towards Iran and accused the EU of undermining its eff orts to isolate the government in Tehran by creating a vehicle to help investors avoid US sanctions. He also drew a comparison between Iran and Nazi Germany, following a trip to the Auschwitz death camp site on Friday.

“One lesson of that dark chap-ter of human history is that when authoritarian regimes breathe out vile anti-Semitic hatred and threats of violence, we must take them at their word,” Pence said.

Syria withdrawalMerkel had restated German sup-port for the Iran nuclear deal only minutes before. She also appealed for the US to consult its allies before any new decision on deployments in Afghanistan, where Germany has more than 1,000 troops. European offi cials were dismayed by Trump’s

failure to consult them on his deci-sion to withdraw US forces from Syria.

“Is it a good thing to withdraw troops immediately from Syria, or will that strengthen Iran’s hand and Russia’s hand?” Merkel said through a translator. “We need to talk about that.”

Still, she reserved her most ag-grieved language for the potential US imposition of tariff s on imports of European automobiles and parts. Echoing industry expectations that a US Treasury report due yesterday will fi nd auto imports to be a threat to US national security, she said she was “shocked’’ by the idea that the US would consider German cars a threat, noting that the biggest plant produc-ing BMWs was in South Carolina.

American leadershipFor all these disputes, there was little sign that either the US or Europeans were ready to break the 70-year alli-ance built around the North Atlan-tic Treaty Organisation (Nato) with more American troops and armour engaged in European defence than

during the Obama administration. A record bipartisan delegation of US Congress people and former offi -cials, including Pence’s predecessor as vice president, Joe Biden, sought to reassure allies that US President Donald Trump’s American First pol-icies were an aberration.

“Th e America I see does not want to turn its back on the world, or its allies,’’ Biden said, in what amount-ed to a domestic US rebuttal to Pence’s speech. “Th is too shall pass. We will be back.’’

Pence in his speech sought to show the US has not actually gone away and remains the unchallenged leader of the West. He used ver-sions of the word “lead’’ 19 times and argued that increased defence spending among Nato members and the international recognition of National Assembly leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s president show the world is still prepared to follow Trump’s initiative.

“And so,’’ said Pence, “America is leading the free world once again.’’ — Bloomberg

CRAZY-EXPENSIVE SUPERCARS

ONCE super rare, supercars have multiplied since the global fi nancial crisis, and today there are more crazy-fast crazy-expensive road rockets than ever. With their cutting-edge technology, race-inspired design, and high-end materials, the cars are equal parts engineering and artistry — and as such, frequently spend far more time in collectors’ garages than on roads or tracks. And because they are often sold before the fi rst metal is bent or screws are turned, prices for second-hand models can be almost twice what they cost new. Here are some currently being made. — Bloomberg

ADELAIDE: Nelly Korda added to an amazing family tradition of winning top titles Down Under by claiming the LPGA Australi-an Open here by two shots and celebrating with a scissors kick yesterday.

Th e world No 16 American has been the form player of recent months, scoring two wins and two other top-three fi nishes in her last fi ve events.

In carding a 17-under-par 271, holding off South Korean chal-lenger Ko Jin-young, Korda joined her father, sister and brother in being crowned an Open cham-pion on Australian soil.

Dad Petr got the ball rolling by winning the Australian Open tennis Grand Slam in 1998, beat-ing Marcelo Rios, and celebrated with his trademark scissor kick.

Her sister Jessica then won the Australian Open golf in 2012, du-plicating her father’s celebration, as did brother Sebastian when he took out the Australian Open tennis boys’ title last year.

Lawyer for Kaepernick says quarterback still wants to play in NFLLOS ANGELES: Th e lawyer for Colin Kaepernick said his cli-ent “absolutely wants to play” in the National Football League (NFL) again and that the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers would be good fits for him. Mark Geragos spoke with the US media a day after Kaepernick reached a settle-ment with the NFL concerning a collusion grievance he fi led against it. Th e former San Fran-cisco 49ers quarterback helped spark a wave of protests about US racial injustice in 2016 by kneeling while the American national anthem played during NFL games. — AFP

Cole scores fi rst FA Cup goal but Derby exitLONDON: Former Chelsea and England defender Ashley Cole scored his fi rst ever goal in the FA Cup but it was not enough for Championship side Derby County as they were beaten 2-1 by Brighton and Hove Albion in the fi fth round on Saturday. Substitute Cole, who had not scored in English football since 2012, struck late on after Premier League Brighton had moved in to a two-goal lead thanks to fi rst-half goals by Anthony Knock-aert and Juergen Locadia. Th e veteran left back, a seven-times FA Cup winner, joined Derby, managed by his former Chel-sea teammate Frank Lampard, in January having left LA Galaxy last year. — Reuters

Di Grassi seizes Mexico Formula E win at the lineMEXICO CITY: Brazilian Lu-cas Di Grassi seized a last-gasp victory in a wild finish to the Mexico City ePrix on Saturday, with Belgian Je-rome d’Ambrosio returning to the top of the all-electric Formula E standings. Germa-ny’s Pascal Wehrlein had led from pole position in a race that was red-fl agged after less than fi ve minutes when Bra-zilian Nelson Piquet Jr had a big smash. Wehrlein led from the restart but used too much energy defending on the last lap against Di Grassi and ran out of power within metres of the fi nish line as he sped past to win for Audi. — Reuters

Wawrinka reaches second Rotterdam fi nalROTTERDAM: Three-time Grand Slam title winner Stan Wawrinka reached his second Rotterdam Open fi nal on Satur-day by knocking out top seed Kei Nishikori 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. Switzer-land’s 2015 champion needed al-most two and a quarter hours to defeat the Japanese star who was playing at the Dutch event for the fi rst time. Wawrinka will face off for his fi rst title since Geneva in May 2017 when he would have played against good friend Gael Monfi ls in yesterday’s fi nal. Th e French showman returned to the fi nal as he overhauled Daniil Medvedev 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. — AFP

LONDON: Manchester City en-dured some anxious moments but escaped from fourth-tier Newport County with their FA Cup hopes intact as Phil Foden scored twice in an ultimately comfortable 4-1 fi fth-round victory on Saturday.

Newport, 82 rungs below City on the English football ladder, rat-tled Pep Guardiola’s aristocrats in the fi rst half and Tyreeq Bakinson almost gave them the lead at a

rocking Rodney Parade.But City’s class showed in the

second half and once Leroy Sane’s powerful shot from a tight angle put them in front after 51 minutes the chances of a seismic Cup shock faded away.

Foden’s 75th-minute shot crept in at the near post to subdue the home fans but when Padraig Amond main-tained his run of scoring in every round with an 88th minute lob it seemed possible Newport’s fairytale might have a late twist.

But a second goal for youngster Foden arrived 71 seconds later be-fore Riyad Mahrez rubbed salt into Newport’s wounds with virtually the last kick of the game as City claimed a 12th win in 13 matches in all competitions.

“It was a really tough game and it was lucky that Phil got the third goal,” Guardiola, whose side are still chasing silverware on four fronts, said.

“Newport used their strengths and we are not used to playing

against that every week. Th at’s why the Cup is so special.”

In the day’s other ties Brighton and Hove Albion shrugged off their poor Premier League form to beat Frank Lampard’s Derby County 2-1 thanks to fi rst-half goals by Anthony Knockaert and Juergen Locadia.

Millwall booked their place in the quarter-fi nals with a 1-0 vic-tory over an AFC Wimbledon side who had outclassed top-fl ight West Ham United in the previous round. — Reuters

Nelly Korda wins Australian Open

DOHA: Belgium’s Elise Mertens claimed the biggest win of her ca-reer on Saturday, surprisingly com-ing from a set down to beat world No 3 Simona Halep and clinch the Qatar Open.

Th e world No 21 won 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, despite being outclassed in the fi rst set, overcoming an eight-minute medical time-out for back pain in the second set, and losing 18 consecu-tive points at one stage in the match.

“It’s a big moment for me, getting that victory,” said a jubilant Mertens, 23, afterwards.

Mertens beats Halep for Qatar Open title

Not to be outdone, Nelly also nailed the “Korda Kick” after her fi nal round 67.

Just minutes after tapping in a par putt at the 18th hole, she was handed a phone and her elder sister was looking at her through Facetime.

Korda put it in context: “I’m fi -nally a part of the club.

“She was pretty much screaming congratulations, she was so happy for me. I mean this win was really special for my family,” she added.

“I think there’s something in the air here, we love coming Down Under.

“I just got off the phone with my dad and he said ‘well, congrat-ulations, you’re part of the Korda Slam now’.”

Korda was the overnight leader and held her nerve despite

a bogey on the 15th to beat Ko by two and Tai-wan’s Hsu Wei-ling by fi ve. — AFP

the nicest one, nicest victory.”Her win, in a little over two hours,

was her third victory over a top ten player in Doha this week, and her second over a Grand Slam cham-pion.

Halep is the reigning French Open champion and Angelique Ker-ber, whom she beat in the semi-fi -nals, holds the Wimbledon title.

Qatar is the fi fth title of Mertens’ career but notably her fi rst at a pre-mier-level event.

She said it outshone her achieve-ment in getting to the Australian Open semi-fi nals in 2018.

Mertens started nervously, lost her opening service game, and the fi rst set in just 32 minutes. — AFP

Wall Street ahead — US stocks rallies on trade optimism

NEW YORK: Wall Street rallied last Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite Index posting their eighth consecutive weekly gains as investors grew hopeful that the US and China would hammer out an agreement resolving their protracted trade war. All three major US indices ended the session higher, and for the fourth straight session, the S&P 500 Index held above its 200-day moving average, a key technical level. Talks between the US and China will resume in Washington this week, with both sides saying progress has been made towards resolving the two countries’ contentious trade dispute. Tariff -vulnerable industrials provided the biggest lift to the blue-chip Dow, led by bellwethers Boeing Co, 3M Co, United Technologies Inc and Caterpillar Inc. “Th is may be just false hope with the tariff situation as thorny details still need to be agreed upon,” said David Carter, chief investment offi cer at Lenox Wealth Advisors in New York. “It’s good news but its not over yet.” Indeed, the trade row’s eff ects were refl ected in Deere & Co’s earnings report, which came in below analyst estimates in part because of slowing international trade. Th e agricultural equipment manufacturer’s shares fell 2.1%. “Solving the trade issue could give global growth the boost it needs,” he added. “Absent a tariff solution, growth will continue to slow.”

With nearly 80% of S&P 500 companies having reported, fourth-quarter (4Q) earnings season is largely in the rearview mirror. Analysts now see a profi t increase of 16.2% for the quarter, according to Refi nitiv data. Going forward, however, the outlook continues to worsen. 1Q earnings are currently seen falling by 0.5%, the fi rst year-on-year decline since mid-2016. Th e Dow rose 1.74% to 25,883.25 points; the S&P 500 gained 1.09% to 2,775.6 and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.61% to 7,472.41. All 11 major sectors in the S&P 500 ended the session in the black. Th e rate-sensitive fi nancial sector led the S&P 500’s advance, bouncing back from last Th ursday’s sell-off as US Treasury yields crept back up. Shares of PepsiCo were up 3.1% even after the snack and beverage company forecast a surprise drop in full-year profi t. Nvidia Corp rose 1.8% following the company’s forecasts for its current fi scal year topped Wall Street expectations. Th e chipmaker gave the second-largest boost to the closely-watched Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index, which was up 0.5%. Th e index has jumped nearly 18% so far this year. Amazon.com shares were down 0.9% after scrapping its plans for a New York headquarters. In fact, each of Amazon’s fellow FAANG members, a group of momentum stocks which also includes Facebook Inc, Apple Inc, Netfl ix Inc and Google parent Alphabet Inc also ended the session in the red.

Global markets — Philippines leads losses as all fall; Vietnam outperforms for week

BENGALURU: Philippines led falls across Southeast Asian stock markets, which ended lower last Friday following a string of disappointing economic data in the region, amid continued focus on US-China trade talks. Softer infl ation data from China sullied risk appetite as investors fretted over weakening demand from the region’s biggest trading partner. Locally, Singapore saw weaker than expected fourth-quarter (4Q) gross domestic product (GDP) growth, while Indonesia’s trade defi cit widened. Th e Philippine index ended about 1% down at a one-month low, with fi nancial stocks leading broader losses. Th e index lost for four out of fi ve days this week, and shed 2% in the period. BDO Unibank ended nearly 5% lower, and was the biggest drag on the benchmark. Th ai markets ended nearly 1% lower in broad-based losses ahead of the country’s 1Q economic data today. A Reuters poll saw the country’s GDP likely picking up for the quarter, although a number of participants saw growth slowing in 2019. Singapore’s stock index closed 0.4% down in mostly broad-based losses, although consumer stocks lent some support. Th ai Beverage closed around 13% higher

after its 1Q net profi t more than doubled. Th e index gained about 1.2% for the week, with banks seeing heavy buying ahead of their results this week. Singapore’s banks, such as DBS Group and United Overseas Bank are among the largest in Southeast Asia, and are usually bought for their reliable returns. Investors also awaited Singapore’s 2019 budget, due today. The Indonesian benchmark ended 0.5% lower, with all sectors barring telecommunication and financial stocks in the red. An index of the country’s 45 most liquid stocks closed about 0.6% down. Th e Vietnam index snapped a four-day rally and ended about 0.2% down, but outperformed regional peers for the week with a near 5% gain. Increased liquidity at the start of the year is benefi cial to the country’s index, which has outpaced its regional peers this year. China stocks retreated last Friday, after latest offi cial data raised defl ation fears, while investors were worried about uncertainties over the US-China trade negotiations.Th e blue-chip CSI 300 Index lost 1.9%, while the Shanghai Composite Index dropped 1.9%. MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.82%. Th e index is up nearly 10% for the year. Europe’s broad Stoxx 600 Index rallied 1.4%. Emerging markets were set for their first back-to-back weekly loss since late last year. Th e MSCIEF Index of emerging- market stocks dropped 0.7%, leaving it up approximately 7.6% for the year. — Reuters

Malaysian palm oil futures fell over 1% last Friday, recording a fi fth session of declines in six, tracking weakness in soyoil on the US Chicago Board of Trade (CBoT). The benchmark palm oil contract for April delivery on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was down RM24 or 1.1% at RM2,253 a tonne at the close of trade, its sharpest daily decline in a week. Th e contract also lost 1.6% last week in its second straight weekly decline. “Palm oil fell tracking CBoT soyoil, which slumped overnight,” said a Kuala Lumpur-based futures trader. Palm oil prices are aff ected by movements in soyoil rates, as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oil market. Exports in the fi rst half of February likely rose from a month earlier, but the demand may not be sustained throughout the month, the trader said. “Seasonally, exports in February should be lower... but we could also see some (demand) spillover from January.” In other related oils, the CBoT March soybean oil contract was down 0.2% after shedding 0.3% in the previous session. CBoT grains and soybean futures tumbled last Th ursday on news that China and other buyers had cancelled a fl urry of US soybean orders in early January and Argentina’s soy crop could be larger than previously expected, traders said. — Reuters

Oil prices rose more than 2% to their highest this year last Friday after an outage at Saudi Arabia’s offshore oilfield boosted expectations for tightening supply, while progressing US-China trade talks strengthened demand sentiment. The international benchmark Brent crude futures were up US$1.68 or 2.6% to settle at US$66.25 a barrel, its highest since November. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures increased US$1.18 or 2.2% to US$55.59 a barrel, and hit their highest this year in post-settlement trade at US$55.80. For the week, Brent ended more than 6% higher and WTI gained more than 5%, partly on tightening supplies since the Opec and its allies led by Russia started voluntary production cuts last month. — Reuters

Th e US dollar dropped last Friday after San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank president Mary Daly suggested the central bank may hold off on raising interest rates in 2019, bolstering risk appetite in the currency market. Th e US Federal Reserve probably will not need to raise rates this year, given a slowdown in economic growth and muted infl ation, Daly told Th e Wall Street Journal in an interview published on Friday. “If the economy evolves as I just said I expect it to — 2% growth, 1.9% infl ation, no sense that (price pressures are) going up, no sense that we have any acceleration — then I think the case for a rate increase isn’t there” this year, the paper quoted Daly as saying. Th e US dollar index lost 0.1% to 96.904, after a week that included several weak data reports, including dismal US retail sales. — Reuters

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e FBM KLCI reversed earlier gains to end 0.01% lower, along with key Asian markets last Friday, amid foreign selling of local equities. At 5pm, the benchmark index closed at 1,688.83, down 0.23 of a point from last Th ursday’s close of 1,689.06. Earlier in the day, the KLCI hit an intraday high of 1,693.85 after opening 3.23 points higher at 1,692.29. CNBC reported that major Asian stock markets closed lower last Friday, following the release of US retail data overnight, which raised concerns over a slowing American economy. Investors await developments from the ongoing US-China trade negotiations in Beijing. Back to the local equity market, TA Securities technical analyst Steven Soo told theedgemarkets.com that the KLCI had been trading sideways lasday, as foreign selling pressure weighs on Malaysian blue chips. He expects the benchmark index to continue to be range-bound in the near term, pending positive catalysts that could push the KLCI through the 1,705-point resistance level. — by Justin Lim
