Tune Ins Holdings Bhd - Expecting a more robust 2H14

Although Tune Ins’ 1HFY14 net profit accounted for only 42% of our full-year forecast and 41% of the consensus number, we regard the results in line because: (1) the associate companies in Thailand and Middle East will start to contribute from 3Q14, and (2) the seasonally-strongest Oct-Dec quarter (4Q13 accounted for 31% of last year’s earnings) is yet to come. We retain our DDM-based target price (cost of equity of 9.2%; long-term growth of 4%). The stock remains an Add, underpinned by the potential re-rating catalysts of: (1) swift expansion of the travel insurance business, (2) synergistic M&As in Thailand, and (3) entry into Middle Eastern markets.

Star Publications - Boost from Cityneon

Star’s 1H14 core net profit was in line with our expectation, making up 48% of our and 45% of consensus full-year estimates. While we expect its 2H to be seasonally stronger, we are cautious about the overall industry adex outlook given the weak consumer sentiment due to the upcoming GST implementation and subsidy rationalisation announcement. Hence, we maintain our FY14-16 forecasts and Hold rating, with an unchanged RM2.65 target price, based on 13.7x CY15 P/E, which is 15% discount to our implied target market P/E of 16.1x.

The government will launch a data base on Goods and Services Tax (GST) registered companies to avoid customers from being cheated. Deputy Finance Minister Datum Chua Tee Yong said the data base would be launched early April 2015 when the GST is implemented.

He said when the data base is launched, consumers can lodge complaints against companies that impose GST but are not registered. Chua said rewards would also be given to consumers who tip off the government of such scrupulous companies. "

A total of 12,803 companies have been approved to collect GST and we will make weekly announcements to provide an update on the number of new companies being registered," he said.

On GST briefings, he said the government would organise more such sessions for small and medium companies to enhance their understanding of the new tax structure.

He advised companies to check with the Royal Customs Department website to obtain the necessary documents before registering manually. Chua, however, advised companies to register online as it would only take five minutes while doing so manually would take three days. (Bernama)

"We do not want it to be too high either, as this will not be sustainable," he added.

Malaysia has received a safeguard petition from Ji Kang Dimensi Sdn Bhd, representing the domestic industry producing hot rolled plate, which is used as the base material in various industries, including automotive, construction and electric and electronics. Ji Kang Dimensi has alleged that importation of hot rolled plates into Malaysia increased from 2011 to 2013, seriously impacting the domestic industry in the country. "The petitioner has provided evidence that the import of hot rolled plate had increased both in absolute and relative terms to have a negative impact on the Malaysian domestic industry.

"This is in respect of declining market share, reduced sales, reduced production, reduced capacity utilisation, insufficient cash flow and net losses," the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti) said. It said that based on the petition, the government has established that there is sufficient evidence of the increased imports, having hurt the local industry.

Political News

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad yesterday lashed out at Datuk Seri Najib Razak's administration, saying he was withdrawing his support for Najib as his criticism had fallen on deaf ears. "I have tried to give my views to him directly, which are also the views of many people who have met me," wrote Dr Mahathir today on his popular blog, chedet.cc.

"I have no choice but to withdraw my support. This has not been effective so I have to criticise," he said, adding that Najib was no better than his predecessor, Tun Abdullah Badawi. Dr Mahathir said he had hoped Najib learnt lessons from his poor performance in the last general election but it appeared that he had not.

"Many policies, approaches and actions taken by the government under Najib have destroyed interracial ties, the economy and the country's finances," he added.

Dr Mahathir said Najib's slide began when the latter listened to his "enemies' demands" and abolished the Internal Security Act in 2011 and the Restrictive Residents Act, which allowed the government to detain anyone including suspected criminals without trial. "These actions did not reduce opposition from the other side. Instead, crime increased because many gang leaders were released," said the former prime minister.

He added that Najib's "humble" attitude towards neighbouring countries had left Malaysia's domestic affairs subject to their views. "But the views of the race and the party, which had all this while supported and saved the government, are not given fair treatment," he said obliquely referring to Umno.

Dr Mahathir also took Najib to task for using the government's money to gain support from the people each time there was an election. "The people's spirit to work fades away when they are rewarded without making any effort. This will not help in developing the country," he wrote.

Dr Mahathir also added that Najib was ruining the economy by prioritising imported goods at the expense of the local industry. "Extra holidays are given to the point that there are workers who take holidays for over a week. "The minimum wage is increased without taking into account rising costs, which could reduce local business's competitiveness," he added in the post. (Malaysian Insider)

Bursa Malaysia Bhd is making it easier for individuals to open trading and securities accounts and has issued a public consultation paper to seek public feedback.

In a statement yesterday, the exchange said the move is expected to provide a degree of flexibility to Bursa Malaysia’s participating organisations (POs) and authorised depository agents (ADAs).

Currently, an individual seeking to open both the trading and securities accounts is required to be present in person before the PO/ADA to submit the account opening form or sign it before an acceptable witness, such as a notary public or a commissioner for oaths.

However, with the proposed changes, the individual investor will be able to complete the account opening form and submit it to the PO/ADA with supporting documents, in hard or soft copy, via electronic means and without the need to submit it in person or sign the form before any acceptable witness.

Bank Negara Malaysia will likely not introduce further cooling measures for the property sector in the coming months as it sees earlier measures have worked to soften the growth in the nation's household debt. In the second-quarter of this year, household debt growth moderated to 10.3%. The growth has been falling since the last six quarters. "The trend for household debt growth is showing moderation, so currently it does not look like we may need to take further measures. However, it also depends on how other factors play out," BNM deputy governor Dr Sukhdave Singh said. (Malaysian Reserve)

Malaysia has received a safeguard petition from Ji Kang Dimensi Sdn Bhd, representing the domestic industry producing hot-rolled plate, which is used as the base material in various industries, including automotive, construction and electric and electronics. Ji Kang Dimensi has alleged that importation of hot-rolled plates into Malaysia increased from 2011 to 2013, seriously impacting the domestic industry in the country. “The petitioner has provided evidence that the import of hot-rolled plate had increased both in absolute and relative terms to have a negative impact on the Malaysian domestic industry. “This is in respect of declining market share, reduced sales, reduced production, reduced capacity utilisation, insufficient cashflow and net losses,” the International Trade and Industry Ministry said.

The government is understood to have held back the award of a contract - for the management of the proposed fuel subsidy rationalisation programme to Fuelsubs House Sdn Bhd. Sources familiar with the matter told The Edge Financial Daily that a Cabinet meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin last week did not reach a full consensus on the award of the contract to Fuelsubs, which had deemed the front runner for the job, as some ministers were concerned that awarding the contract via direct negotiation would raise the question of objectivity.

The termination of a joint venture for the proposed Penang-Butterworth undersea tunnel project will not affect the partnership between Astral Supreme and Zenith PMC Sdn Bhd in the future. In a statement released yesterday, Zenith said the termination of the joint venture doesn't preclude it from engaging Astral Supreme for future project.

"The termination is effected as Astral Supreme Construction Sdn. Bhd. could not fulfil its obligations as stated in the joint venture agreement," Zenith said.

Astral Supreme in a filing with Bursa Malaysia on Friday had said that the termination was to do with its failure to carry out a feasibility study and design of the tunnel sea plan. Astral Supreme its failure was to do with its inability to secure consultants to undertake the project within the budget and the funding requirements. (Sun)
