KUALA LUMPUR: Th e Edge Cov-id-19 Equipment Fund has started sending a million face masks and 35,000 personal protection suits to more than 30 designated hospi-tals — just one week after the fund was launched to raise money from Corporate Malaysia.

Ventilators and other breathing equipment will be delivered soon, said Th e Edge Media Group pub-lisher and group chief executive offi cer (CEO) Datuk Ho Kay Tat.

“We raised money very quick-ly, thanks to the great support of businesses and individuals after we announced the initiative a week ago,” said Ho.

“While we were raising money, we were at the same time placing or-ders, which is why we could get the masks and protection suits so fast.”

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhy-ddin Yassin yesterday was shown samples of the protection suits, masks, ventilators and oxygen concentrators that the fund bought to help our frontline health workers deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Also present were Senior Min-ister for Defence Datuk Seri Is-mail Sabri Yaakob, Th e Edge Me-dia Group chairman Datuk Tong Kooi Ong, project medical adviser Datuk Dr Tamil Selvam and Adrian Ong, managing director of MR DIY — the project’s logistics partner.

To date, The Edge Covid-19 Equipment Fund has raised RM12.21 million, while Th e Edge Covid-19 Health Care Workers Sup-port Fund has received RM8.9 mil-lion for a total of RM21.11 million.

Ho said the masks and protec-tion suits will be delivered over the next one week to over 30 hospitals, including those in Sabah and Sar-awak, by logistics partner MR DIY.

Ismail Sabri said the Royal Ma-laysian Air Force can help deliver to East Malaysia, given many com-mercial fl ights have been cancelled.

Non-governmental organisa-tions Mercy Malaysia, the Malay-sian Relief Agency and the Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia are also helping in the distribution.

“Our medical adviser Dr Tamil Selvam has worked tirelessly to source the equipment and plan the allocation and distribution with MR DIY,” said Ho.

“I would also like to thank Heal Mediware Sdn Bhd and Insan Bakti Sdn Bhd for helping to get us ven-tilators, now so hard to come by.”

Orders have been placed for 140 ventilators and 100 oxygen concen-trators. Both are breathing equip-ment to help patients with diff erent levels of respiratory problems. Th ey should be available for distribution in stages over the next few weeks.

Ho said the fund will contin-ue sourcing and buying medical

equipment as long as it has money.“The intention is to not keep

money that has been donated, but use them quickly to buy what is needed, before supply runs out. Our

hospitals and healthcare workers are overstretched as the pandemic is spreading fast.”

Other partners of Th e Edge for this project are auditor KPMG Ma-

laysia and information technology systems provider Rexit Bhd.

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e government has ordered that Menara City One in Jalan Munshi Abdullah here be placed under an enhanced move-ment control order (EMCO) — its third such directive since the fi rst issued last Th ursday — after the condominium reported 17 con-fi rmed Covid-19 cases.

“Taking into account the num-

Menara City One in KL placed under lockdownBY E M I R Z A I N U L ber of cases, the government, on

the health minister’s advice, has decided to implement the third imposition of the enhanced move-ment control order,” Defence Min-ister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said in a statement yesterday.

Th e two-week EMCO, eff ective from midnight tonight to April 13, 2020, will aff ect 3,200 residents in 502 residential units and business premises.

Ismail Sabri said the EMCO is imposed to curb Covid-19 from being transmitted outside of the building.

“Th is move will enable case de-tection activities to be done on each of the units [in the condominium] over the 14-day period.”

Similar to the EMCOs announced previously, all residents in the con-dominium are barred from leaving their units during the EMCO.

Non-residents and visitors are not allowed to enter the area dur-ing this period, while all business activities will be suspended.

However, residents are al-lowed to order food that can be delivered to the main lobby of the building.

“To ensure compliance of this order, the Royal Malaysia Police, the Malaysian Armed Forces, the Malaysia Civil Defence Force and

the People’s Volunteer Corps will control the entire area,” Ismail Sabri said.

“For the implementation of this order, all residents should remain calm and give full cooperation to the ministry of health personnel as well as to follow orders from the authorities.”

KUALA LUMPUR: Th ere were 156 new confi rmed infections yester-day, bringing the total number of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia to 2,626. Meanwhile, three more people died of the disease, raising the death toll to 37.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said in a statement that 91 patients were discharged yesterday — the highest in a single day thus far — bringing the total number of complete recov-eries from Covid-19 and discharges to 479, which accounts for 18.2% of all cases.

Meanwhile, 94 patients are being treated in intensive care, with 62 of them needing ventilators.

Noor Hisham said the 35th death involved a 57-year-old woman who suffered from diabetes and had travelled to Indonesia. She died at 4pm on Sunday.

Th e 36th patient was a 47-year-old man who passed away at 8am yesterday, while the 37th fatality was a 46-year-old woman who had high blood pressure and an auto-immune disease. She passed away at 9.02am yesterday.

Government increases testing, treatment capacityIn the statement, Noor Hisham said 70 public hospitals across the coun-try are now able to conduct health screenings for Covid-19, compared with 57 in February.

Meanwhile, the number of hos-pitals able to treat Covid-19 patients has risen to 38 from 26 prior, thanks to a collaboration with the armed forces and University of Malaya Medical Centre.

Seven of these hospitals special-ise in treating Covid-19 patients, he added.

In addition, the number of beds to treat patients has also risen to 3,994.

“Th e MoH (ministry of health) is also planning to add several beds by identifying and modifying its training institutions into quaran-

Other facilities are also being identified, such as the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang, which can hold up to 600 beds.

Infection rate in Malaysia still stableSpeaking at a press conference, Noor Hisham said the Covid-19

infection rate in Malaysia is still stable, seeing there has been no “exponential spike” in new cases so far compared to other countries.

“Looking at the last two weeks, the cases are still quite stable. What we fear is if we have an exponential spike of maybe 900 or 1,000 cases [a day], but we do not have that. Every day, perhaps we are getting around 150-200 new cases,” he told a press conference yesterday.

managed to contain the spread of Covid-19, as it has undergone “ac-tive case detection”, whereby high-risk groups are identifi ed, tested and isolated. Th is, he said, helps break the chain of Covid-19 trans-mission in the country.

He explained that as long as the number of new cases are main-tained at 150-200 cases daily, the outbreak is still manageable.

“Nonetheless, we are prepared for the worst,” he said.

“Th at is the reason why we have the (additional) beds ready and we have all the temporary hospitals and even in our ministry’s training institutes, we also have 19,200 beds ready for that. So, we are prepared for the worst but we hope for the best,” Noor Hisham added.

With regard to the next two weeks of the movement control order, Noor Hisham advised every-one to practice social discipline by continuing to abide by the order. Th is, he said, is part of eff orts to fl atten the curve and avoid an ex-ponential growth in the number of new cases.

“What we need to do now is to focus on the imported cases — Ma-laysians coming back from over-seas. Th at is the group that we are worried the most, that will bring back Covid-19.

PUTRAJAYA: Business premises selling essential items including supermarkets and petrol stations are to operate from 8am to 8pm under the second phase of the movement control order (MCO) starting April 1.

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the directive is also applied to stalls, restaurants and food delivery services.

“We would like to encourage people to shop online and avoid any contact with delivery service people,” he said at a press confer-ence after the Special Ministeri-al Committee on MCO meeting yesterday.

Last Wednesday, Prime Min-ister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced the MCO extension for another two weeks to April 14.

Ismail Sabri, the defence min-ister, said even though the sec-ond phase of the MCO would see stricter enforcement, the situation is not the same as in Simpang Renggam, Johor and Hulu Lan-gat, Selangor under an enhanced MCO, whereby people are barred from leaving or coming to aff ect-ed areas.

He asserted the directive is unlike a curfew order as alleged by some irresponsible quarters.

“I want to stress that under phase two, we still allow move-ment of people and shops are still open. We just restrict business operating hours,” he said, adding that the movement of vehicles will also be restricted.

Under the new directive, pri-vate vehicles including e-hailing and taxis are allowed on roads between 6am and 10pm. Public transportation service will re-main from 6am to 10am and 5pm to 10pm.

“Only one person, the driver, is allowed in private vehicles, except during emergency time,” he said.

For commercial vehicles trans-porting essential goods such as food and medicine, Ismail Sabri said they are encouraged to op-erate from 7pm to 7am.

Ismail Sabri said all recrea-tional and social activities are not allowed in public nor gated areas.

On places of worship, Ismail Sabri said activities at these plac-es are not allowed during the MCO including Friday prayers. — Bernama

Businesses cry for helpTh e government's RM250 billion stimulus package is missing the mark, employers claim

BY LAI YING YI & ARJUNA CHANDRAN SHANKAR

BY H A F I Z YAT I M

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday received a re-port on the possible abuse of power with regard to the resumption of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project.

Its chief commissioner Datuk Seri Azam Baki confirmed that there is such a report lodged but he declined to reveal whether it involved any politicians, former ministers or any individuals.

“Th e MACC is scrutinising the report lodged before conducting further investigations. I confi rm that the MACC received a com-plaint about the ECRL project for

MACC receives report on possible abuse of power in ECRL projectit to be investigated. However, the MACC is looking at the complaint.

“Th e MACC cannot reveal to any parties regarding the case as inves-tigations have yet to commence,” he was quoted to have told Berna-ma yesterday.

According to a source as re-vealed to Bernama, the complain-ant wants the MACC to investigate the rise in costs of the ECRL project from RM30 billion to RM44 billion.

Referring to an article that ap-peared on Suara TV, the ECRL pro-ject was initially shelved in January 2019 but three months later in April, former chairman of the Council of Eminent Persons Tun Dr Ab-dul Daim Zainuddin managed to

KUALA LUMPUR: With many busi-nesses having ground to a halt while Putrajaya directs that the move-ment control order (MCO) be en-forced more strictly amid rising Covid-19 infections, the business community in Malaysia is crying out for help.

Th is is despite the RM230 billion addition — announced last Friday — to the original RM20 billion eco-nomic stimulus package to address the impact of the pandemic on the country.

From small and medium enter-prises (SMEs) to large scale man-ufacturers and chambers of com-merce, the main grouse has been that the stimulus package is too centred on salaried earners and the low-income group, while not enough is being done for the busi-ness community.

“We believe that the Prihatin package, though rakyat-centric, is missing the mark, as businesses, especially the SMEs (the goose), are the largest employers of the rakyat and the largest tax contributors to the country.

“Cash handouts (eggs) are only good for the moment but the rak-yat needs continuous and secured employment as well as income be-yond three months. Deferment of loans and fi nancial obligations of the rakyat is merely delaying the inevitable,” said the president of Malaysian International Cham-ber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI) Datuk Tan Cheng Kiat in a statement.

“Th e prime minister has stated that no one will be left behind, and it really has to cover the whole chain within the economy. If busi-nesses falter, everyone will be left behind.

“Giving out eggs is fine but don’t forget to feed the goose oth-erwise the goose may die, and everyone will be left behind,” he added.

SMEs drainedAs it is, SMEs are expecting no cash inflow for at least three months due to the MCO, with nearly one-third of them having only enough to sustain their expenses in March, based on feedback gathered from over 15,000 local SMEs in a survey.

“Yet, SMEs will still need to contin-ue [to pay] full salary, rental and some statutory payments. Nearly one-third or 33.3% of SMEs only have enough cash fl ow for March while 37.8% can only sustain [their operations] up to April,” according to a joint statement from SME Association of Malaysia and Bizsphere Brand & Marketing Group, who conducted the survey.

SMEs, they said, employ up to 70% of the country’s 10 million workforce, and at this point, about a quarter of them may be forced to retrench workers. Th is may mean some 2.56 million people will be out of a job. Th e situation “is serious and scary if not well-managed”, their statement read.

Higher wage subsidy, EPF exemption and income tax waiver soughtIn various press statements yes-terday, the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ma-

laysia (NCCIM), MICCI, as well as the Federation of Malaysian Man-ufacturers (FMM) have called for a higher wage subsidy, with no con-ditions attached.

Th e FMM, in particular, said the RM5.9 billion allocation for wage subsidy is not suffi cient since it is estimated to cover only 3.3 million workers, and should be doubled to RM12 billion, with the RM600 per person per month wage subsidy be extended to all employees, re-gardless of wage level. Th e initiative now only covers the three-month salaries of employees earning less than RM4,000 per month, and who are working with employers whose income have halved since Jan 1.

“Th e subsidy should be automat-ic without the need for companies to prove reduction in earnings by 50% as all companies would be ex-periencing a signifi cant reduction in revenue and sales as a result of the Covid-19 and the current MCO. In fact, the FMM had proposed for a 30% wage subsidy by the govern-ment on a tripartite shared basis with employers and employees,” said FMM president Tan Sri Soh Th ian Lai.

Th e federation is also calling for a

complete exemption or reduction in employer’s contribution to the Em-ployees Provident Fund (EPF) until the end of December this year, instead of the current deferment/restructur-ing/rescheduling option provided.

“Th e current initiative of defer-ment would still tie employers down fi nancially as they focus on their respective business revival plans to ensure business viability and conti-nuity and keeping jobs in the next six months to a year,” Soh said.

Th ese were among the relaxa-tion of the conditions it is seeking on measures that the government announced under its Prihatin Rak-yat Economic Stimulus Package.

The FMM is also hoping that banks will fully assist Covid-19-im-pacted companies from folding over with easier complied conditions, given that the government provides guarantees with low interest under its RM50 billion Danajamin guaran-tee scheme. Additionally, the FMM appealed to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to further intervene and ensure that there is consistency from all fi nancial institutions in the treatment of interest during the six-month moratorium on loan repayments that the central bank

announced last week. “Th e FMM is of the view that banks should not compound interest but rather waive or reduce the interest during the moratorium period to further as-sist companies aff ected,” Soh said.

The federation is also calling for the government to allow all in-dustrial power users, irrespective of their monthly kilowatt usage, to get at least a 15% discount on elec-tricity bills for the next six months.

“In addition, [it should] remove the maximum demand charge for medium and high voltage indus-trial customers for cement, iron and steel, petroleum and chemical processing industries. Also, reduce natural gas tariff s by 35% until the end of 2020 and remove the “Take or Pay” penalty clause imposed on customers given the current impact on business, as well as the overall drop in oil prices. Th is will help lower business costs and sustain operations,” he said.

Force majeure certifi cates, soft loan scheme to cover fi xed expenses proposedTh e FMM also proposed that the government introduce a RM5 bil-lion special soft loan scheme with a 2% interest to cover fi xed capital payments such as rent and utilities, and other administrative expens-es such as salaries for companies.

It also suggested that the govern-ment to allow corporations’ income tax for the 2020 year of assessment 2020 be waived — regardless of company size — and that the per-sonal income tax be capped at 10% this year, with monthly tax deduc-tion be suspended for six months.

It also urged the government to introduce a Certifi cate of Force Majeure, similar to the one issued by the Chinese government to help companies get exemption from contractual obligations. “Th is is to help exporters that are unable to meet contractual obligations due to delays in resuming manufacturing activities following the implemen-tation of the MCO,” the FMM said.

convince the government to resume the project with China Communi-cations Construction Company Ltd, at a cost of RM44 billion through a new ECRL package plan.

However, a source revealed the ECRL plan only costs RM30 billion after a reduction or cancellation of fi ve stations from Gombak to Klang.

“Th is means the ECRL plan is RM14 billion more expensive de-spite the reduction of the stations,” the source was quoted as saying.

Th e source, quoted by Bernama, questioned Abdul Daim’s role in the government resulting in him being able to convince the Pakatan Harapan government to revive the ECRL plan with new alignment.

KUALA LUMPUR: Permodalan Nasional Bhd’s (PNB) whol-ly-owned unit trust company, Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd (ASNB), has declared income distribution for fi ve funds, two of which are its fi xed income funds — Amanah Saham Bu-miputera 2 (ASB2) and Aman-ah Saham Malaysia (ASM) — for the fi nancial period ending March 31, 2020.

ASB2 unitholders will get an income distribution per unit of 4.75 sen, while ASM unithold-ers will get 4.25 sen. Th e total income distribution payout for the two fi xed price funds amounts to almost RM1.4 bil-lion, PNB said in a statement yesterday. As at Feb 29, ASB2 recorded a net realised income of RM413.3 million, while ASM had a net realised income of RM646.7 million.

Th e other three funds it de-clared income distribution for are variable price funds ASN Equity 3, ASN Imbang 2 and ASN Sara 1.

ASN Equity 3 unithold-ers will get an income distri-bution per unit of 3.25 sen, while ASN Imbang 2 unithold-ers will get 3.5 sen, and ASN Sara 1 will get 4.55 sen. The total payout for these three funds amount to RM228.7 million. “The total returns of the three funds are bench-marked against the FBM 100 and Maybank’s 12-month fixed deposit, at a ratio cus-tomised to each fund,” ASNB explained.

It further said that the in-come distributions declared by these funds are derived from the funds’ realised gains, divi-dends and other income.

“Despite a challenging year in 2019, PNB’s funds portfolios have held up in relative terms, outperforming their respective benchmarks largely due to the exposure in high-quality stocks with strong fundamentals and the steps taken to diversify the portfolio further,” PNB said.

Assessing current unprec-edented market conditions, however, PNB cautioned that investors will continue to see companies facing earnings pressure and that this will not only be confi ned to the Ma-laysian market, but globally as well.

“While the economic im-pact from current events will be widely felt, as an investor with a longer-term horizon, the expectation is for the market to recover over the medium and longer run, after establishing a new normal. In adapting to these changes, PNB is focused on tapping into the prospects off ered by the market mispric-ing, to ensure that it will be able to ride through this volatility,” it added.

KUALA LUMPUR: Following its meeting yesterday, the Economic Action Council (EAC) has called for landlords to consider reduc-ing or waiving rent for businesses that could not continue to oper-ate during the imposition of the movement control order (MCO).

The meeting focused on the concerns about small and me-dium enterprises that are fac-ing challenges as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in a statement.

“To alleviate renters’ burden, all owners of public and private business premises are urged to consider discounts, deferrals or exemptions for rent payments for business owners who cannot carry out their businesses,” the PMO said.

The PMO also announced the appointment of two economic experts from Sabah and Sarawak respectively — Datuk Bridget Lai@Bridget Anne Chin Hung Yee (pic) and Datuk Abang Halmi Ikhwan — into the EAC.

Lai is a well-known banker and Abang Halmi is the chairman of the Dewan Usahawan Bumiputera Sarawak. The two appointments raises the number of EAC mem-bers to 13.

On March 16, Prime Minis-ter Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin an-nounced the members of the EAC following the council’s inaugural meeting, comprising of govern-ment officials and prominent pri-vate sector figures.

Th e government offi cers in the council comprises the prime min-ister as chairman, Finance Minis-ter Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Aziz, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed, and Interna-tional Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, who is one of the four senior min-isters. He has also been appointed the deputy chair of the EAC.

Bank Negara Malaysia gover-nor Datuk Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus is also a member of the council, as well as Universiti Ke-bangsaan Malaysia economics professor Tan Sri Dr Noor Azlan Ghazali.

From the private sector, mem-bers of the council consist of Mercy Malaysia founder Tan Sri Dr Jemi-lah Mahmood, Axiata Group Bhd managing director/president & group chief executive offi cer Tan Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim, Westports Holdings Bhd chairman Tan Sri G Gnanalingam and Sunway Group chairman Tan Sri Dr Jeff rey Cheah and Th e Edge Media Group chair-man Datuk Tong Kooi Ong.

The EAC is tasked with ensur-ing economic sustainability, to find ways to stimulate the econ-omy, and to come up with short- and medium-term plans to ensure economic growth for the country.

KUALA LUMPUR : Oil prices fell sharply yesterday, with the US crude briefly dipping below US$20 (RM87) and Brent hitting its lowest level in 18 years, on heightened fears that the global Covid-19 shutdown could last for months and the demand for fuel is likely to be softer than expected.

The stance of not backing down between Saudi Arabia and Russia coupled with the global transport restrictions exerted more pressure on the oil prices.

As at press time, Brent futures were down eight per cent, or US$2, at US$22.50 a barrel — their low-est for 18 years.

Back home, the FBM KLCI dropped 14.21 points or 1.06% to 1,328.88, mainly dragged down by the oil & gas (O&G) constitu-ents, with the index top laggard Dialog Group Bhd falling four sen or 1.31% to RM3.02, while Petro-nas-linked MISC Bhd dropped 10 sen or 1.33% to RM7.40.

The Bursa Malaysia Energy In-dex fell 4.07% or 25.02 points to 590.38, indicating a fresh round of selldown of the O&G stocks.

Floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) operator Yinson Holdings Bhd, which was among the industry’s top picks due to its job prospects, was not spared from yesterday’s selling. Yinson slid 52 sen or 9.81% to RM4.78.

Other O&G counters that were down sharply included Wah Seong Corp Bhd (which tumbled 9.71% to 46.5 sen), Perdana Petroleum Bhd (which fell 7.41% to 12.5

sen), Petra Energy Bhd (which was down 6.52% to 64.5 sen).

Offshore support vessel opera-tors Icon Offshore Bhd and Alam Maritim Resources Bhd were not spared either, with both the com-panies falling 11.11% to four sen. Year to date (YTD), Icon Offshore had tumbled 76%, while the later had capitulated 69%.

Urusharta Jamaah Sdn Bhd (UJSB) — a wholly-owned unit of the ministry of finance (MoF) that took over Lembaga Tabung Haji’s non-performing assets in late 2018 — had been paring its stakes in these companies, despite market weakness.

At the same time, mid-stream heavyweight Serba Dinamik Hold-ings Bhd’s shares fell eight sen, or 5.48%, to RM1.38.

Deleum Bhd’s shares dropped 5.38% to 44 sen, while Uzma Bhd fell 5.13% to 37 sen.

However, Petronas Gas Bhd (Pet-Gas) and Petronas Dagangan Bhd (PetDag) appeared to have out-performed their peers. PetGas had only fallen 6.77% to RM15.40 YTD, and gas station operator PetDag dropped 12.3% to RM20.12.

It is worth noting that oil stor-

age-related companies such as Dialog Group Bhd (down 12.46% Y TD) and MISC Bhd (fallen 11.01% YTD), which own oil tank-er fleets, are relatively resilient. It

was reported that onshore and offshore storage was benefitting from oil traders scrambling for tank storage, after loading up on crude oil at favourable prices.

The Bursa Malaysia Energy Index fell 4.07%, indicating a fresh round of selldown of O&G

stocks.

‘Room for govt to intervene if economic slowdown worsens’Second stimulus package is also expected to widen fi scal defi cit

BY S YA H I R A H S Y E D J A A FA R

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e government’s second economic stimulus package is expected to widen its fi scal defi cit this year to 4% of the gross domestic product (GDP). Economists say reve-nue enhancements will help achieve this target, and if need be, the gov-ernment still has room to intervene if the economic situation worsens.

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyid-din Yassin last Friday announced a RM250 billion economic stimulus package to help preserve people’s welfare, support businesses and strengthen the economy.

According to UOB Global Eco-nomics and Markets Research sen-ior economist Julia Goh, the over-all package is 3.7 times larger than the RM67 billion, or 6% of GDP, an-nounced in 2009 during the global fi nancial crisis.

Goh noted that given fi scal con-straints amid sharply lower oil prices, the government announced meas-ures that do not entail a sizeable direct government spending while utilising funds from other sources.

“Th e direct fi scal injection is only RM25 billion or 10% of the total pack-age, which will be funded through higher dividends.

“As such, the government targets a fi scal defi cit of 4% of GDP, wider than the revised target of 3.4% of GDP [announced in the fi rst stim-ulus package on Feb 27], but lower relative to Malaysia’s fi scal defi cit peak at 6.7% in 2009,” she said in a note to clients yesterday.

CGS-CIMB economist Michelle Chia opined that managing the

budget deficit to 4% of GDP may refl ect the government’s intention to stay within internal fi scal rules.

“Nonetheless, the government has space to intervene further if the economic drag turns out to be more acute than it is currently projecting,” Chia said in her review yesterday.

Goh said for the government to achieve a fiscal deficit of 4% of GDP without any adjustments to expenditure components, she estimates it would require an ad-ditional RM24 billion in revenue enhancements through higher dividends possibly from Petroliam Nasional Bhd, Bank Negara Malay-sia and Khazanah Nasional Bhd.

Looking ahead, Goh does not rule out the possibility of the government giving more monetary support, in-

cluding cuts in the overnight policy rate and statutory reserve require-ment given mounting risks from Covid-19 roiling the economy and global fi nancial markets.

“Lower infl ation risks and US in-terest rate cuts leave room for Bank Negara to pursue further monetary policy easing.

“From our perspective, the US, large parts of Europe and many oth-er major economies are expected to be in contraction for 2020, while China will record a recessionary growth close to 4%.

“Th is will be a synchronised re-cession across major economies and we conservatively project a U-shaped recovery where Covid-19 may be contained by 4Q20 (fourth quarter of 2020),” she said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Initial public offering (IPO) markets world-wide, which started strongly in the fi rst quarter of 2020 (1Q20) with an active January and Feb-ruary as they rode on the mo-mentum seen in 4Q19, ended with a close-to-standstill March, amid the escalating Covid-19 pandemic.

Nevertheless, from a relatively low base in 2019, IPOs in 1Q20 performed better year-on-year (y-o-y), with an 11% increase in deals to 235, and an 89% jump in proceeds raised to US$28.5 billion (RM123.98 billion), according to global business solutions and advisory provider EY.

“Riding the strong tailwinds from 4Q19, global IPO markets started off strongly in the first two months of 2020.

“However, unexpected and novel events surrounding Cov-id-19 took a toll on the global health of equity markets and, together with other global mar-ket factors, have caused market turbulence last seen only during the global fi nancial crisis of 2008.

“Th is extreme market volatility makes any ambitions to go public highly uncertain, in timing and val-uation,” said EY global IPO leader Paul Go in a statement yesterday.

Asia-Pacifi c accounted for 160 of those deals, raising US$16.8 billion in proceeds — up 28% and 110% respectively from a year ago. Th e region’s raising of funds ac-counted for 68% of deals world-wide and 59% of proceeds, it said.

This was followed by the Americas — with 14% more IPOs y-o-y at 40 and proceeds raised climbing 47% to US$8.2 billion — and Europe, the Middle East, In-dia and Africa recording 31% less IPOs at 35, but with a 133% jump in proceeds to US$3.5 billion.

IPO momentum cut short by escalating viral outbreak — EYBY S YA H I R A H S Y E D J A A FA R Southeast Asia saw 31 IPOs,

with US$3 billion raised — a 63% jump in deal volume and 885% in proceeds. Th e signifi -cant increase in IPO proceeds was mainly due to Central Retail Corp — the largest IPO ever on the Stock Exchange of Th ailand (SET), said EY.

“In deal numbers, Indonesia led with 18 IPOs, followed by Malaysia (six IPOs), Singapore (fi ve) and Th ailand (two).

“Exchanges in Th ailand (the SET and Market for Alternative Investment) and Singapore (the Singapore Exchange and Catal-ist), raising US$2.3 billion and US$500 million respectively in the quarter, are among the top 12 exchanges globally by proceeds,” EY’s statement read.

“In the early part of the quar-ter, IPO activities from 4Q19 car-ried over with deals across vari-ous markets in Southeast Asia. Th is has been somewhat put paid by Covid-19, devastating econ-omies, businesses and commu-nities the world over,” EY Asean IPO leader Max Loh said.

“Economic and fi scal pack-ages are being put together to stabilise economies. Th ese and other eff ects on market volatility and investor confi dence will be key metrics in determining the IPO momentum,” Loh added.

Looking ahead, EY said Cov-id-19’s chilling eff ects will impact markets for the foreseeable future.

“Given the Covid-19 outbreak and its negative impact on global economic activities, IPO markets are not expected to quickly re-bound in 2Q20.

“However, while 3Q is typi-cally a slower period of the year, there may be increased IPO ac-tivities as the market attempts a reset and the global pipeline looks for the IPO window,” its statement added.

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e Institute for Democracy and Economic Aff airs (IDEAS) has called for fi scal trans-parency in the recently announced RM250 billion economic stimulus package implementation, specifi -cally its source of fi nancing.

IDEAS fellows Tricia Yeoh and Sri Murniati said the origins of funds for the stimulus package, not addressed in Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s an-nouncement last Friday, should be addressed publicly, as it is the government’s duty to be fiscally responsible.

The RM250 billion economic stimulus package is intended to tackle negative economic impacts of the Covid-19 crisis. From this amount, Muhyiddin said the actual

IDEAS calls for fi scal transparency of government’s RM250b stimulus packageBY S YA H I R A H S Y E D J A A FA R total fi scal injection is only RM25

billion.“Will the RM25 billion be drawn

from the National Contingencies Fund? Article 11(3) of the Financial Procedure Act 1957 states the min-ister of fi nance may make advances from the Contingencies Fund to meet an ‘urgent and unforeseen need for expenditure for federal purposes for which no other provision exists’, which presumably this would fall under.

“In fact, the available balance in the Contingencies Fund as at end-2018 was only RM250 million. While Budget 2020 allocated RM2 billion to the Contingencies Fund, this is nowhere close to the RM25 billion intended to be spent, and even so it is meant for development and not operating expenditure,” Yeoh and Murniati wrote in an article recently.

Th e duo said the RM25 billion

could also be reallocated from the existing Budget 2020, but this re-quires Parliament’s approval.

“Although the Financial Procedure Act is not very clear about the rules of virement between ministries [as it only prohibits virement within minis-tries], any budget reallocation, under normal circumstances, requires the convening of Parliament, in the in-terest of democratic oversight, good governance and accountability.

“All national budgets — and sup-plementary budgets — are by con-vention tabled, debated and ap-proved by Parliament, so our elected representatives can transparently discuss matters of national inter-est,” they said.

A third option, according to them, is to fund the stimulus package through borrowings.

“If so, how much will it add to

outstanding debts? As at end-June 2019, the federal government’s debts stood at RM799.1 billion or 52.7% of gross domestic product (GDP), below the self-imposed limit of 55%.

“Even if a small percentage of the RM25 billion is fi nanced through borrowings, the government needs to be transparent in stating how the debt-to-GDP ratio will be aff ected, and whether it breaches the 55% limit,” they said.

Th ey pointed out the government should elaborate on the economic stimulus package impact on the budget’s balance.

“If the current source of fi nancing is not from the budget’s reallocation and is in fact an additional expend-iture, Malaysia’s Budget 2020 will amount to RM322 billion in total.

“Th is would increase the defi cit rate from 3.2% to 4.8% to GDP, calcu-

lated based on 2020 GDP estimates, which may change due to the cur-rent economic situation.

“A less-effi cient budget defi cit is not entirely bad considering we are facing a crisis. Countries worldwide have also announced equally large economic stimulus packages since the onset of Covid-19, and a bal-anced budget target is not necessar-ily many governments’ fi rst priority, given the current economic climate.

“But what is clear is the govern-ment needs to acknowledge that it would likely miss the balanced budget target and be open about it,” they said.

Th ey also said the Fiscal Respon-sibility Act, due to be tabled next year, must include clauses for situ-ations where the government can immediately disburse much-needed fi nancing in a transparent and fi s-cally responsible manner.

‘Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, Malindo need diff erent action by govt’But Mustapa provides no details of assistance to local carriers

Malaysia Airlines to reinstate some international fl ights

KUALA LUMPUR: Airline compa-nies including some of the most well known in the industry are facing their biggest challenge due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Min-ister in the Prime Minister’s De-partment (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said.

According to him, this is a glob-al phenomenon with giant air-lines such as Emirates and Sin-gapore Airlines having also been aff ected, not to mention Malaysia Airlines Bhd which had already faced various challenges before the outbreak.

Although there was no an-nouncement in terms of assis-tance for airlines in the Prihatin Rakyat Economic Stimulus Pack-age announced by Prime Minis-ter Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin last Friday, the sector would need action, he said.

“Companies like Malaysia Air-lines, AirAsia and even Malindo Air are big employers. Certainly [they] require a diff erent action,” Mustapa said on Bernama TV’s Ruang Bic-ara Khas on Sunday night.

However, he did not elaborate

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Air-lines Bhd will be reinstating some international fl ights to China, Indo-nesia, Australia and New Zealand between April and May 2020, to bring home families who have not been able to return to their loved ones due to travel restrictions in many parts of the world amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Malaysia Airlines group chief executive offi cer Captain Izham Ismail said in a statement yesterday that many customers, comprising Malaysians and foreigners, have reached out to its global offi ces re-questing for fl ights between Kuala Lumpur and Australia, New Zea-land besides London in the UK.

“Being a network carrier, Ma-laysia Airlines is able to maintain connectivity and bring our cus-tomers direct or closest to their intended destination. And being Malaysia’s national carrier, it is our duty to ensure accessibility for Malaysia domestically and in-ternationally during these diffi cult times,” Izham said.

For Australia, Malaysia Airlines said in the statement it will rein-state fl ights between Kuala Lumpur and Melbourne, as well as Sydney and Perth.

For New Zealand, Izham said the airline will reinstate its fl ights to Auckland.

For Indonesia, the airline will restart its Kuala Lumpur-Jakarta fl ights, and for China, it will rein-

TRADING of shares in Euro Holdings Bhd (fundamental: 0.35/3, valuation: 0.3/3) trig-gered our momentum algorithm yesterday for the fourth time this year.

Th e counter closed eight sen or 25.4% higher at 39.5 sen, with 11.04 million shares traded, over six times its 200-day average volume of 1.77 million shares.

Th e group is principally engaged in the design, manufacturing and trading of its own brand of chairs, system furniture, storage and accessories.

For the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2019, the group’s net loss almost doubled to RM4.18 million from RM2.18 million for the corresponding period last year, mainly due to higher cost incurred and a provision for late delivery by the property division.

Quarterly revenue fell 32% to RM18.16 million from RM26.6 million, due to lower property completion rates and lower sales owing to potential homeowners facing dif-fi culties in getting fi nancing.

PERMAJU Industries Bhd (fundamental: 0.75/3, valuation: 0.3/3) made it into our Stocks with Momentum list yesterday for the sixth time in March.

The counter settled four sen or 4.02% lower at 95.5 sen, with 13.02 million shares traded, over three times its 200-day average volume of 3.65 million shares.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, Permaju reported a net loss of RM762,000 on a revenue of RM18.55 mil-lion. The revenue was mainly derived

from its automotive division.Th ere were no comparison numbers for

the previous year’s corresponding period, due to a change in its fi nancial year end from Dec 31 to June 30.

For the cumulative six-month period, Permaju posted a net loss of RM1.36 mil-lion on a revenue of RM37.36 million. Th e loss was because of losses recorded for its automotive, timber and property divisions, which were partly mitigated by the compa-ny’s strategic unit.

According to Izham, Malaysia Airlines is now running at a min-imum pace, mostly to facilitate essential travels and cargo move-ment.

“Together with our sister airlines under the Malaysia Aviation Group, we support Malaysia’s ministry of health with dedicated belly space across our domestic and interna-tional network and on MASkar-go’s global freighter network for the transport of medical devices and supplies. Most recently, we trans-ported two tonnes of face masks and personal protection equip-ment from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu as well as 300,000 pieces of disposable masks, 50,000 pieces of protection suits and 8,000 pieces of protection suits with eye mask courtesy of the Jack Ma Founda-tion and Alibaba Foundation from Shanghai to Kuala Lumpur,” he said.

Th e British housing market is in lockdown

Hong Kong luxury apartment rents slashed to attract tenantsNow may be the time to hunt for a bargain in the world’s most-expensive property market

BY C H R I S B RYA N T

BY S H AW N A K WA N

HONG KONG: After a bargain on an upscale apartment in the world’s most-expensive property market? Now may be the time.

The spreading Covid-19 has crunched rents for luxury homes in Hong Kong as wealthy individu-als hesitate to sign leases amid the gloomy economic outlook.

Landlords have cut their asking prices by as much as 20% since mid-March in a high-end area of West Kowloon, according to Ar-thur Chui, a senior sales manager at Midland Realty. Far fewer inter-national companies are looking for accommodation for their staff from overseas, he said. Th at used to be another big source of renters in the district.

“Th e volatile stock market has put pressure on landlords’ capital,” said Chui. “Even though these rents are rather insignifi cant to them, it’s still better to lease the properties out versus leaving them vacant.”

Th e one-two punch of anti-gov-ernment protests that started last year and now Covid-19 has pushed

BERLIN: Th e UK housing market — that obsession of middle-class Brits — has been placed in suspended animation. Buyers and renters have been told to delay moving home to limit the spread of Covid-19. While a few transactions are still going through, a functioning market de-pends on prospective buyers and surveyors being able to view peo-ple’s homes. Mobility restrictions and distancing measures make that all but impossible.

Set against the loss of life caused by the virus, the anticipated col-lapse in housing transactions for at least the next few months is a price worth paying. Still, the knock-on ef-fect will be severe across the sector, from the mortgage lenders obliged to off er struggling customers three-month payment holidays to the homebuilders like Persimmon plc and Taylor Wimpey plc who have closed construction sites. For real estate agents, struggling even be-fore the pandemic, the standstill will be particularly painful.

Boris Johnson’s government is trying to cushion the blow by suspending property taxes for businesses and paying employee wages (yes, even for real estate agents). But smaller outfi ts, those with weak balance sheets or those that were mismanaged before Cov-id-19 struck, face a very diffi cult

year. In the 2008-2009 downturn, thousands of estate agents left the industry.

It will not be just those forced to shutter high-street branches that face a bleak period though; while employees of digital property portals such as Rightmove plc and Zoopla can more easily work from home, they are being drawn into a brutal price war.

With the busy spring and sum-mer selling season poised to start, the timing of the lockdown could hardly be worse. Th e UK property market has already endured a few tepid years because of Brexit wor-ries, stamp duty changes, and high house prices that make it harder for people to purchase a home. Now the much ballyhooed “Boris bounce” after his recent election win has been extinguished and 2020 looks like being a write-off , forcing estate agents to slash costs.

Countrywide plc, the country’s biggest estate agent, was already ailing, having piled on debt to fund expansion. Shareholders recap-italised the business in 2018 via a massively discounted rights is-sue. Its debt covenants were also amended. Now, a takeover by rival LSL Property Services plc has been called off ; an agreed £38 million (RM203.8 million) sale of its com-mercial property arm also failed to complete. Including lease obli-gations, it still has about £194 mil-

Hong Kong’s economy into reces-sion. Th e benchmark Hang Seng Index sank to the lowest level since 2016 earlier this month while the city’s unemployment rate is the highest in almost a decade.

A three-bedroom apartment near the West Kowloon Station has been leased for just HK$32,000 (RM17,866) a month recently, 20% less than what the landlord was initially asking.

Developments in the area are among the city’s most prestigious. Tenants are walking distance from Hong Kong’s tallest skyscraper that houses luxury shops like Prada and Louis Vuitton, swanky hotels and

restaurants, as well as the station that connects to China’s high-speed railway system.

Across Victoria Harbour, expen-sive neighbourhoods favoured by expatriate bankers and lawyers are also seeing rent declines. Listings in Soho and Sheung Wan dropped by 7.3% and six percent from a year earlier, exceeding the city’s average of 5.1%, data from online property listing platform Spacious show.

The cost to rent a 500-sq-ft, two-bedroom apartment in Hong Kong last month averaged around HK$17,700.

Apart from concerns about the deteriorating economy, social-dis-tancing practices over the past few months have contributed to the drop in leasing activities. It is im-possible for people to physically search for a new place to live while they are stuck at home, said James Fisher, chief operating offi cer at Spacious. Th e Internet also has its limitations.

“If this persists for three to four months, we could be looking at declines across the board of up to 10%,” he said. — Bloomberg

lion of net debt, or almost six times earnings before interest, taxes, de-preciation and amortisation. Th at is uncomfortably high.

London-focused Foxtons Group plc is also loss-making but it has no bank or bond debt and held £15.5 million of cash at the end of De-cember. It has since drawn down a £5 million credit line. However, renting offi ce space and the ubiq-uitous Minis that its agents drive around consumes about £12 million annually, so it too must slash costs.

Besides rent, another big outlay for agents is the cost of advertis-ing properties for sale with online portals. On average, market leader Rightmove charges agents more

than £1,000 a month for each ad-vertiser. Covid-19 has sparked a full-blown rebellion against such fees. Rightmove’s initial off er to de-fer part of those payments for six months was poorly received, forc-ing it to backtrack and off er a 75% discount for the next four months instead. Th is will cost about £70 million, or about one-fi fth of es-timated revenues. But that is not the end of it: Rival Zoopla, which was acquired by private equity fi rm SilverLake in 2018 for US$3 billion, is offering agents nine months free if they quit Rightmove. Last Friday, Rightmove suspended its dividend and scrapped its fi nan-cial guidance.

Loss-making platform Purple-bricks Group plc said it plans to conduct viewings and valuations via Zoom, Facetime, and WhatsApp. But its fi xed-fee model (customers must pay even if their home does not sell) could come under more pressure. Th e company is already reeling from a failed US and Aus-tralian expansion. German media giant Axel Springer SE doubled its stake last year and now owns 26% of the group, but the shares have since lost about two-thirds of their value.

It is not all bad. Th e collapse in travel bookings has prompted peo-ple who usually let their homes on Airbnb in tourist hotpots like Lon-don and Edinburgh to advertise long-term rentals instead. Even-tually the wider property market should rebound, driven in part by the desire of those who are pres-ently housebound deciding they really do need a bigger home or more green space.

Yet, the pace of that rebound, and the outlook for prices, will depend on whether government succeeds in preventing the tem-porary shock of Covid-19 wreaking permanent economic damage. As elsewhere, unemployed Britons will be less inclined to purchase a home, and banks could tighten lending standards. Estate agents that survive the current drought will have to work even harder for their fees. — Bloomberg

‘Stay mentally healthy’Maintain a regular daily routine, avoid stress, says psychiatrist

KUALA LUMPUR: A good coping mechanism, especially during the nationwide movement control or-der (MCO), is needed to avoid long term psychological impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Malaysian Psychiatric Associ-ation secretary Dr Firdaus Abdul Ghani said thus the public is advised to maintain a regular daily routine and a healthy and well-balanced eating habit while staying indoors.

“Exercise regularly, get adequate sleep, minimise caff eine intake and avoid alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. In fact, this would be a good time to stop smoking.

“Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, listening to music and progressive muscle relaxation may help to lessen anxiety. Limiting

media time by taking a break from watching, reading, or listening to news including on social media about the pandemic, may also be useful," she said in a statement.

Firdaus said they also could stay in contact with their family and friends through phone or social me-dia to avoid social isolation, and plan for activities to be done together or online-learning that could contrib-ute positively to mental health.

For children, she suggested creat-ing a schedule for learning and relax-ing activities to help them cope with the stress of being at home all the time.

“Answer questions and share facts about Covid-19 in a way that your child or teen can understand. Reassure your children on their safety and the precautions that they

need to practice,” she said.For those patients who require

continuous medication and have scheduled follow-ups, Firdaus said it is best to check with the local hos-pital on the services still available as it might vary according to the settings and resources available.

Th ose who feel distressed dur-ing the MCO also encouraged to utilise the online psycho-social support services made available by the ministry of health (MoH) and relevant agencies. Th e psycho-social support services provided by the MoH which collaborates with Mercy Ma-laysia can be reached at the following numbers 03-29359935, 011-63996482, 011-63994236 while Befrienders can be reached at 03-79568145, she add-ed. — Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: The Kua-la Lumpur Court Complex has allowed all those present dur-ing open court proceedings to wear face masks and gloves, as a measure to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Lawyer Ammanjeet Singh shared this development with Bernama yesterday through WhatsApp.

“Normally, face masks are not allowed to be worn in court. If lawyers wish to wear them, we need permission from the court. It is all part of court decorum,” he said.

Th e lawyer who has appeared for several cases at the court com-plex during the imposition of the movement control order (MCO) by the government eff ec-tive March 18 to April 14, added that lawyers and others attending court have now been advised to practise social distancing.

Based on his observations of the main entrance at the court complex, only lawyers under-taking new cases and one fam-ily member of each individual accused of a crime, are being allowed in.

“Each of us who are allowed in are sprayed with sanitiser on

Courts allow lawyers, public to wear masks during proceedings

our palms, and if any of us have a body temperature exceeding 37.5°, we are not allowed in,” he said.

A court staff member told Berna-ma that in reference to cases which needed to be handled throughout the duration of the MCO, court of-fi cers including interpreters took turns to be on duty.

“There are only a few court rooms open for mention of new cases,” the staff member said, add-ing that a limited number of people were allowed into court.

On March 17, the corporate communications unit at Istana Ke-hakiman announced that all civil and criminal trials and hearings in courts throughout the country would be postponed during the imposition of the MCO.

However, remand and bail ap-plications are continuing as usual, along with courts using the e-Ke-hakiman system which allows for the fi ling of new civil and criminal cases, notices of appeal and sub-mission of documents.

Recent observations by Bernama found that very few people were allowed into the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex, while members of the media reporting on ongoing cases were only allowed to gather at the entrance gates of the complex, close to the guard post, to wait for information from passing lawyers or prosecutors. — Bernama

GEORGE TOWN: A doctor at a pri-vate clinic pleaded not guilty in the Magistrates’ Court here yesterday to two counts of obstructing a civil servant from discharging his duty and violating the movement control order (MCO) to contain Covid-19.

Dr Ong Hean Teik, 61, from Tan-

jung Bungah made the plea after the charges were read out before Magistrate Jamaliah Abd Manap.

He was accused of obstructing Penang Island City Council en-forcement offi cer Muhd Alif Aizad Abd Latiff from carrying out his duty at Penang City Park, Jalan

Persiaran Kuari at 6pm, on March 19 under Section 186 of the Penal Code.

He faces a maximum jail term of two years or a maximum fi ne of RM10,000 or both upon conviction.

He was also charged with going to the Penang City Park at 4.45pm

on the same day without valid rea-son as required under Rule 3(1) of the Prevention of Control of Infec-tious Diseases (Measures within the Infected Local Areas) Regula-tions 2020.

Th is rule provides for a fi ne of up to RM1,000 or a jail term of not

more than six months or both upon conviction.

Th e court set bail at RM13,000 for both charges and ordered Ong to surrender his passport and re-port to a police station once a month. Th e magistrate fi xed June 9 for remention. — Bernama

SINGAPORE: With Malaysia extending its movement con-trol order (MCO) until April 14, Singapore Post Ltd (SingPost) will continue to offer support, including appropriate accom-modation arrangements, to all affected employees, including Malaysians.

“SingPost is also looking at facilitating the return of em-ployees who are currently in Malaysia and wish to return to Singapore to work,” SingPost’s spokesperson Robin Goh said in an email reply to Bernama.

Goh noted that the postal service provider is “working with the authorities to ensure the safe passage of these em-ployees, while complying with the quarantine requirements

SingPost extends off er to house Malaysian workers

laid out by both countries.”“Even as we continue to ensure

the smooth operation of Singa-pore’s national postal system, our staff ’s welfare and health are of utmost importance to us.

“While our Malaysian employ-ees temporarily reside in Singa-pore, we will do our best to make sure their needs are properly tak-en care of,” said Goh.

It was reported on March 18 that SingPost has arranged for more than 400 of its Malaysian staff to stay in three different ho-tels here since the enforcement of the MCO on March 18 to curb Covid-19.

About 20% of its Malaysian staff have declined to stay in Sin-gapore, instead they opted first to use their annual leave and then go on no-pay leave, said the re-port. — Bernama

SHAH ALAM: Selangor police will increase the number of road closures in several areas in stages, to reduce crowd movement during the move-ment control order (MCO) period.

State deputy police chief Datuk Arjunaidi Mohamed said four to fi ve roads in Kota Damansara and Petaling Jaya had been closed for the last few days and road closures in other areas would be announced from time to time.

He said although the move could be seen as inconvenient to residents in the aff ected areas, it had to be done to ensure more eff ective con-trol of crowd movement.

“Th ere are too many roads, we can’t

close them all. So, we need to close certain roads that will allow police to fi lter and control public movement.

“Th e MCO allows the public to go out and purchase essential goods but it should not be abused. For exam-ple, if you stay in Kota Damansara, then buy your basic essentials there, instead of giving excuses for having to go to Kepong to purchase them,” he told a press conference yesterday.

Arjunaidi said that since the implementation of the MCO from March 18 until Sunday, a total of 364 arrests had been made with regard to not complying with the order and, of the total, 114 were foreigners.

“So far, eight of those arrested

have been charged in court un-der Section 186 of the Penal Code and Section 7(1) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures within the Infected Local Areas) Regulations 2020,” he said.

In Kuala Lumpur, a man was ar-rested after he rammed into a road-block at the PJS 2 toll in Lebuhraya Baru Pantai here at about 5.30pm on Sunday.

Petaling Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner of Police Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said upon investigation, police found fi ve trans-parent plastic packages believed to contain 5.1g of ketamine and cash worth RM19,082. — Bernama

Scientists hunting for treatment, vaccine for Covid-19Th ey are racing against a virus that is wreaking havoc from Asia to Europe, North America and Africa

BY S T E P H A N I E B A K E R , J O H N

L AU E R M A N & J A M E S PATO N

Developing a vaccine or a treatment for a newly discovered virus is a painstak-ingly slow and de-tailed endeavour.

Finding a compound that works, testing it in animals, and then roll-ing it out to clinical trials in humans can take years. And even the top experts in virology and epidemi-ology typically toil in obscurity, spending long, lonely hours in the lab and garnering fleeting interest only when an unknown ailment sparks headlines. The novel Cov-id-19 has changed all that.

“I’ve got 57 million things to do at once,” says Sarah Gilbert, an Oxford University researcher who devised a vaccine considered one of the front-runners to stop the outbreak. Like other leading lights in the battle to contain Covid-19, she is short on sleep and time as she cobbles together funding and fields calls on how to quickly get the vaccine into production.

Gilbert is one of the heroes of the current crisis, scientists who are racing against a virus that is sparking fear and havoc across the globe. From Asia to Europe, North America, and Africa, infec-tious disease experts are trialling vaccines, developing new tests for the virus or devising innovative public health strategies to control the outbreak. This is a story about the people working flat-out to save us from the pandemic.

The tale begins in China, where doctors and scientists played piv-otal roles in alerting the world about what would come to be called Covid-19. Few deserve more credit for sounding the alarm than Ai Fen, head of the emergency department at Wuhan Central Hospital. On Dec 30, she received a lab report on a patient with unexplained pneumonia. Ai says she broke out in a cold sweat as she circled the words “SARS [severe accute respiratory syn-drome] coronavirus” in red ink.

After notifying her superiors and warning fellow doctors to take precautions, she sent screen-shots of the report to her old med-ical school classmates. “If I had known how this was going to play out, I would not have worried about being reprimanded,” she told the Chinese magazine Renwu. “I would have spread the word everywhere.”

Even so, Ai’s report ricochet-ted among doctors in the city, ending up with Li Wenliang, the 34-year-old ophthalmologist who became known as the Wuhan whistle-blower. He began alerting the public about the dangerous

virus spreading in the city even as Chinese officials insisted there was no human-to-human trans-mission. He died in February after becoming infected, prompting a wave of criticism of how China handled the outbreak.

“I’m not a whistle-blower,” Ai told Renwu. “I’m the one who dis-tributed the whistle.” A senior hospital supervisor scolded her for “spreading rumours” by send-ing texts to other doctors about the virus. Chinese censors have attempted to erase her interview from the Internet but bloggers have captured and reposted it. She did not respond to requests for comment.

While Ai was putting fellow doctors on alert, researchers in Shanghai led by Zhang Yongzhen were studying a specimen from a patient from Wuhan with an unex-plained fever. Zhang’s team con-cluded the specimen was a novel coronavirus similar to SARS. They started sequencing the complete genome of the virus, which was published on Jan 11 at virological.org by Edward Holmes, a virolo-gist at the University of Sydney who is part of Zhang’s consorti-um. Zhang, a researcher at Fudan University, declined to comment.

With the genome’s release, in-fectious disease experts world-wide pounced on the code in a rush to understand how quickly this new pathogen might spread and how deadly it might become.

BritainGilbert runs the emerging patho-gens programme at Oxford’s Jen-

ner Institute, named after the phy-sician who invented the smallpox vaccine in the 18th century. When she heard about Covid-19 spread-ing in China around the New Year holidays, the immunologist had a sense of what might be at stake. She had been overseeing clinical trials of a vaccine against anoth-er coronavirus that causes res-piratory pneumonia and sparked a global public health crisis in 2014 — Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). When it first emerged, MERS looked excep-tionally dangerous, killing about a third of those infected. But while it spread to 27 countries and more than 850 people died from the vi-rus, it is not as easily transmitted as the virus that causes Covid-19.

Last year, as the new virus emerged in China, Gilbert was starting a second set of human trials in Saudi Arabia for a MERS vaccine, showing it was safe and triggered an immune response. “We know it works in a mon-key,” Gilbert says. “It wasn’t clear whether it was effective in humans because there weren’t enough MERS cases to find out.”

That will not be a problem for the current outbreak, which has infected more than a half-million people worldwide. As soon as the Shanghai scientists released the genetic sequence for the virus, Gilbert’s team began making a vaccine against Covid-19 to test in mice, using the same technique she used for the MERS vaccine: The spiked protein of the coro-navirus is added to an adeno-virus — a harmless carrier — to

make a vaccine that stimulates an immune response to protect the body.

Gilbert was one of several re-searchers who responded to a call from the World Health Organiza-tion (WHO) in 2015 to propose methodologies for developing vaccines against Ebola, MERS, and a clutch of other more obscure but terrifying sounding illnesses. The WHO’s list also included “Disease X” — that unknown pathogen lurking around the corner wait-ing to spark a global pandemic. Gilbert proposed her team’s plat-form, which allows researchers to rapidly respond to new diseases as they emerge. “We can go from se-quence to vaccine in a very short space of time,” she says.

Gilbert’s Covid-19 vaccine is one of roughly three dozen in development around the world. While they all have their strengths and weaknesses, and some are far-ther along than others, scientists say it is good thing to have so many competing ideas, because any of them risks being quickly shut down if safety concerns emerge.

One thing all the teams share is a thirst for cash, which is always in short supply. In February, the Coalition for Epidemic Prepared-ness Innovations, a group in Oslo founded in 2017 to fund vaccine development, gave Gilbert mon-ey to produce enough vaccine for small-scale tests. Then on March 24, Gilbert’s team won a £2.2 mil-lion (RM11.85 billion) grant from the UK government to help pay for clinical trials on humans, ex-pected to begin in April.

“We’re working around the clock,” she says. “We have a lot of plans to develop.”

United StatesWhile it will likely be a year or more before a vaccine is ready, there is growing hope that drugs to treat Covid-19 patients could ease the effects of the disease. Scientists are closely watching clinical trials led by Andre Kalil, a 54-year-old physician specialising in pneumonia at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Th e Brazilian-born infectious disease specialist is overseeing the fi rst US clinical trials to de-termine whether an experimental drug called remdesivir might help patients suff ering from Covid-19. Th e trial, with more than 100 pa-tients at dozens of hospitals, will yield initial results in another week or so, but for now even Kalil does not know which patients are get-ting the drug or only standard sup-portive treatment.

“My hope is that this could be a game-changer, but as a clinician and scientist I have no means to know if this drug is working or not,” he says. “That’s the only way to do good science.”

As soon as Kalil saw the re-ports about Covd-19 in China in January, he and his team began investigating potential therapies, thinking: “We’ve got to start pre-paring ourselves for the worst.”

That led them to remdesivir, first developed by Gilead Scienc-es Inc for Ebola. Though it had proved disappointing as an Ebola treatment, remdesivir had been studied in animals against other coronaviruses, such as SARS and MERS. “The data is compelling,” he says. “But each bug is so differ-ent.” In February, Nebraska Medi-cal Center’s Biocontainment Unit received the first patients return-ing to the US from the Diamond Princess, a cruise ship that had been quarantined off Yokahama, Japan, after a Covid-19 outbreak. An American from the ship was the first volunteer for the trial, and now Kalil’s team is enrolling new patients every day as Covid-19 spreads in the local community. The hospital is treating Covid-19 patients on two floors, and Kalil and his staff regularly check their own temperatures to make sure they are not becoming infected themselves. “It’s going faster than I predicted,” he says. “It’s a race against time.”

Like many experts on infectious diseases, Kalil says he learned im-portant lessons from the Ebola outbreak in 2014-2016. While the outbreak claimed thousands of lives and lasted almost two years, scientists did not have enough time to complete rigorous studies

F O C U S 1 3TUESDAY MARCH 31, 2020 • THEED G E FINANCIAL DAILY

designed to prevent bias — ran-domised trials in which neither doctors nor patients know who is getting the drug or a placebo — or they ignored those vital controls altogether.

“What did we learn?” Kalil says. “We learned absolutely nothing in terms of new therapies. We can-not afford to repeat this.”

Kalil worries that the same mis-take could be made today as doc-tors worldwide hand out untested treatments without the rigor of clinical trials. Th at includes chlo-roquine, the anti-malarial drug, and HIV antivirals lopinavir and ritonavir, both of which have been used to treat Covid-19 patients but can be toxic and have not been ap-proved for use against Covid-19.

“If these drugs can be helpful to clear the coronavirus [Cov-id-19] that is great news, but you will never know unless you do a randomised, controlled trial,” he says. “We have to offer our pa-tients real science. It’s the only way to help them.”

The WHOFor the man leading the Covid-19 response at the WHO, the fact that scientists such as Kalil have to rush testing potential new ther-apies is a travesty. Why, he asks, was this not done years ago, and why do we have so few effective antiviral drugs?

“It’s almost laughable given the scale of the perceived threat,” says Michael Ryan, the head of the health emergencies programme at the United Nations agency. “We’re still going back to the same old drugs we’ve been using for 20 years now.”

It is Ryan’s job to wrangle the WHO’s 194 member-states into developing treatments and stock-piling resources to prepare for a pandemic during times of calm. The world spent about US$1 bil-lion to stop the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo last year, but the surround-ing countries have only gotten a fifth of the US$65 million they requested from wealthier nations to prepare for the next outbreak.

“When the crisis strikes, you react and say, why didn’t I do something about this before?” he says. “That’s the human condition. But the reality is, the price we pay for that as a society is very high.”

But the political agendas of wealthier countries — which contribute the bulk of the WHO’s funding — can trump the agency’s recommendations. With little en-forcement power and a history of not standing up to governments during health crises, the WHO is frequently derided as toothless.

The criticism comes from all sides. When Ryan and WHO di-rector-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus praised China for its “laser focus” approach to tackling Covid-19 in January, critics at-tacked them for sounding like Bei-jing’s pawns. Then six weeks later, he came under fire for a veiled criticism of governments that respond slowly. “Speed trumps perfection,” Ryan said during a March 13 press conference. “Be fast. Have no regrets.”

Ryan has little patience for such debates, insisting that countries must pursue aggressive contact

tracing to contain the outbreak. He has understood the impor-tance of quick, decisive action since the first emergency he faced, an outbreak of Ebola in Gabon in the 1990s.

“In a crisis, you don’t have the luxury of time, and you have to accelerate decisions uncomfort-ably,” he says. “You won’t always be right. You will always have to make a decision before you have enough data.”

Ryan never planned a career in public health. Trained as a trau-ma surgeon, the Irishman got a short-term contract in 1990 to help teach doctors in Iraq. While there, he broke his back in a car crash, which made it difficult for him to spend the long hours on his feet required of a surgeon.

He retrained in epidemiolo-gy and joined the WHO in 1996, where he has coordinated the agency’s reaction to SARS, fought Ebola, and steered the response to the H1N1 flu pandemic. Af-ter a failed push to get the or-ganisation to put more resources into emergencies and epidemics, he left in 2011 to work on polio eradication. When Ghebreyesus

was appointed director general in 2017, he brought Ryan back to head up the group’s emergency response effort after it had been widely criticised for being too slow to respond to Ebola to the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak.

Ryan is confident a vaccine will eventually be developed and new therapies will be found, but he worries whether those will be available to everyone in need.

“I won’t be happy if we get a good vaccine and only people who can afford to pay for it get it,” he says. “That would be the great tragedy.”

SenegalThat is a tragedy that threatens to unfold in Africa, where frag-ile health systems and a popu-lation already battling malaria, HIV, and Ebola make Covid-19 all the more dangerous. The virus has been slow to reach Africa, but the continent of 1.2 billion people has more than 4,200 cases in 46 countries, and many more have likely gone undetected.

In the vanguard of Africa’s effort is Amadou Alpha Sall, a 50-year-old infectious disease ex-pert who leads the Senegal branch of the Institut Pasteur, a global re-search centre. In January, as Sall started hearing about the mys-terious pneumonia in China, he began thinking, “Let’s get ready.”

On Feb 27 Nigeria confirmed the first case in sub-Saharan Af-rica. Four days later — the day Senegal reported its first infec-tion — Sall was summoned to a meeting at the presidential palace with top government officials and disease experts. Around the same time, the WHO asked Sall’s group to run one of two key labs coor-dinating tests across the region.

Since then, Sall, who studied vi-rology and public health in France and Britain and has advised gov-ernments worldwide on outbreaks, has been working 18-hour days with colleagues from across Africa. “I don’t sleep that much,” he says.

Health authorities hope the

continent’s experience with Ebo-la will help tackle Covid-19. After Ebola hit neighbouring Guinea in 2014, Sall’s team was one of the first on the ground to oversee test-ing, a crucial part of the response. The epidemic overwhelmed the region, killing more than 11,000 people and hindering treatment of other diseases, but Sall says Africa is in a stronger position this time around.

“At the highest levels, people are much more aware and they are reacting quickly,” he says. “That doesn’t mean it’s going to be perfect, but it’s going to be much better.”

Ebola also underscored the need for Africa to build its own capacity to respond to emergen-cies. There was no Ebola vaccine in time to help the people of West Africa, but one was deployed in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2018 following a new outbreak.

With a partner in Britain, Sall is developing a test for Covid-19 that can yield results in as little as 10 minutes, rather than the hours it takes today. Though cost remains a barrier, he aims to make it affordable even for countries with vulnerable health systems. And his testing technology is de-signed to work for other illnesses that will surely emerge, spurred on by climate change, increas-ingly mobile populations, and antibiotic resistance.

“We are going to be living in an era of epidemics coming reg-ularly,” he says. “This is going to be our way of life.”

SingaporeAmid eff orts across the world to face down Covid-19, Singapore’s success in keeping a lid on the virus off ers a model for contain-ing an outbreak. It only reported its fi rst deaths from Covid-19 on March 21, almost two months after the virus arrived in the city-state. While cases doubled in the last week to 844, mostly due to travel-lers returning home, the country’s Covid-19 testing has been among

the world’s most aggressive. As of last week, Singapore had conduct-ed more than 39,000 tests, a higher rate per capita than South Korea, widely seen as having succeeded in driving down cases through extensive checks.

As executive director of the Na-tional Centre for Infectious Diseases, Leo Yee Sin is helping steer Singa-pore’s response, deploying lessons learned while combatting SARS in 2003 and H1N1 in 2009. In early Jan-uary, as reports of the virus began emerging from Wuhan, she imme-diately began preparing, knowing it would inevitably be headed her way given the extensive links between China and Singapore.

“SARS arrived in Singapore without us realising it,” says Leo, 60. “With Covid-19, the distinctive difference is we saw it coming.”

Before the fi rst case was discov-ered in Singapore on Jan 23, her centre had already developed its own test for the virus and began ramping up its capacity for mass assessments. Singapore can admin-ister more than two thousand tests daily and is working to expand that.

Th e fi rst patients who tested pos-itive received treatment at Leo’s centre, where researchers imme-diately began studying the virus. Leo hoped that, as with SARS, in-fectious Covid-19 patients would show symptoms that would make them easier to spot and quaran-tine before they transmit the dis-ease. She soon understood she was dealing with something altogether diff erent.

“Patients can transmit the vi-rus very early on,” she says. “Vi-ral shedding, to our surprise, was highest at the early stages of illness and decreases as the dis-ease progresses.”

She used that early research to advise a strategy shift for Singa-pore’s ministry of h recommend-ing that physicians offer five days of medical leave to anyone show-ing signs of respiratory distress so they could stay at home and not spread the sickness.

Singapore’s tactic of aggres-sively testing while tracing and isolating contacts of infected peo-ple has worked in part because Leo’s centre has a place to quar-antine patients. Just over a year ago, her team began moving into a new 14-story building with 330 beds devoted to treating infec-tious diseases.

“We count ourselves very lucky that we have a new building just in time for this mobile patho-gen,” she says. “We joke among ourselves that it’s a very expen-sive building and very costly to maintain, but the investment has returned more than we hoped.”

With its population of 5.7 mil-lion, Singapore may not be easy for larger countries to copy. So far it has managed to limit transmis-sion without draconian measures such as shutting down schools or shopping malls, but it has an-nounced the closure of bars and cinemas as cases continue to rise.

“We anticipate this is only the beginning of the epidemic,” Leo says. “The best thing to do in terms of school closures and social distancing is when the epi-demic is about to hit the peak. No-body has a crystal ball to pinpoint when that will be.” — Bloomberg

Public Bank seen with robust capital strength

Bursa Malaysia Bhd (March 30, RM5) Maintain sell with a lower tar-get price (TP) of RM3.40: In our view, despite seeing relatively high trading values in the equity — with an average daily trading value (ADV) of RM2.5 billion or +3.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) and +20.4% quarter-on-quar-ter (q-o-q) — and derivatives markets with 82,000 contracts or +73% y-o-y and +30% q-o-q on Bursa Malaysia Bhd, we be-lieve investors’ sentiments will start to weaken in the coming months, as the reality of a re-cession starts to sink in the first half of 2020 (1H20), according to our economist.

Based on Affin Hwang Capi-tal’s latest gross domestic prod-uct growth forecast of -3.5% for 2020, we expect a sharp con-traction in private consump-tion spending especially in 1H20.

Due to high market volatil-ity in the first quarter of 2020 (1Q20) — up from 30% in Janu-ary to 50% in March — it drove up Bursa’s overall trading val-ues.

Based on our estimates, Bur-sa could see a net profit of RM53 million to RM55 million for the first quarter ending March 31, 2020 (1QFY20) or a higher rev-

enue of approximately 13% to 17% y-o-y, underpinned by our forecast revenue of RM132.3 million for 1QFY20 comprising securities trading revenue of 50%, derivatives of 17.6% and a stable fee income of 32%.

As a result, our estimated FY20 net profit is tweaked by +17.4% to account for Bursa’s robust 1QFY20 revenue. For FY21 and FY22, we have made minor adjustments of -3.2% to -4.4%.

Our “sell” rating is reaf-firmed, while revising down-wards our 12-month TP from RM4.50 based on a 2020 es-timated price-earnings (PE) multiple target of 23 times, to RM3.40 based on a trough val-uation PE multiple target of 15 times on 2020 estimated earn-ings per share.

Our assumptions for Bursa for FY20, FY21 and FY22 are an equity average daily value of RM1.9 billion, RM1.7 billion and RM1.8 billion and deriv-atives average daily contracts of 58,000, 52,000 and 55,000 respectively.

Upside r isks are high-er-than-expected fund inflows, a revival in investor confidence and an increase in trade or clearing fees. — Affin Hwang Capital, March 30

Bursa likely to see higher FY20 net profi t on better 1Q revenue

Public Bank Bhd (March 30, RM15.82) Upgrade to buy with a lower target price (TP) of RM17.90: Given eco-nomic uncertainties globally due to Covid-19, Public Bank Bhd fi ts our preference for banks with a strong as-set quality and robust capital strength to withstand downside risks from a potential spike in loan provisions. Over the past 10 years, the bank’s credit cost has been consistently be-low the sector’s average.

RHB economists have forecast the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth slowing to 0% in 2020 versus 2019’s +4.3%, and a sharp re-bound by 5.7% in 2021 aided by the government’s RM250 billion eco-nomic stimulus package. We expect Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to cut the overnight policy rate (OPR) by another 50 basis points (bps) to 2% in the fi rst half of 2020 (1H20), before raising it back to 2.5% in 1H21 as the economy recovers from the fourth quarter of 2020 (4Q20).

Just like peers, Public Bank sup-ports BNM’s call for financial in-stitutions to extend an automatic moratorium on loan repayments to individuals and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for six months from April 1. Th is will give aff ected borrowers an immediate reprieve and a much needed breathing space to reassess their fi nancial positions.

Th e management shared that after the February 2020 announcement, Public Bank received moratorium applications amounting to less than 1% of total loans. Most of them were from SMEs and some corporates, and less than 30% from individuals. SMEs and individuals account for about 76% of Public Bank’s domestic loans of RM307.2 billion.

The management believes the current financial dislocation is temporary, which coupled with the bank’s commitment to resume

repayments after the moratorium should help preserve its asset qual-ity. Th e suspension in ageing of loan accounts during the six-month peri-od would likely keep Public Bank’s impairment charges benign in the forecast fi nancial year ending Dec 31, 2020 (FY20F).

At end-2019, Public Bank’s gross impaired loan ratio was a low 0.49%, while the loan life coverage ratio including regulatory reserves was a high 249.8%. Its credit cost was a low 5bps, versus the sector’s average of 30bps, in FY19.

As interest on loans is accrued over the moratorium period, banks’ interest income will be unaff ected.

Th erefore, we expect Public Bank’s net interest income to dip 1% for FY20 mainly on a net interest mar-gin (NIM) compression from the cumulative four rate cuts this year. However, its NIM should recover in FY21 based on our expectations that the OPR will rise 50bps in 1H21.

With our projected earnings trimmed 1% to 4% for FY20 and FY21, we now expect Public Bank’s net profi t to decline 3% for FY20 but recover 7.5% for FY21. Our Gordon growth model-based TP is lowered to RM17.90 after factoring in a higher cost of equity and deriving it from a price-to-book value of 1.5 times. — RHB Research Institute, March 30

Our FV remains at RM1.09 based on 0.5 times its book value, con-sistent with its historical average during the last downcycle in the fl at steel sector in 2012 to 2015.

weaker prices averaging at RM2,500 a tonne, about 9% lower versus RM2,750 a year ago, due to slug-gish demand coupled with cheap imports in the market.

These are partially mitigated

by a lower cost of input hot-rolled coil (HRC). In the fi rst quarter end-ing March 31, 2020, international HRC prices averaged at US$560 (RM2,436) a tonne, 22% lower ver-

sus US$720 a tonne a year ago. We remain cautious of the local

fl at steel sector’s prospects amid the economic slowdown, while competition from cheap imports

remains unabated. While the gov-ernment has put in place safeguard measures to protect local players, these may not completely elimi-nate loopholes.

With cheap imports still fl ooding the local market, we believe local fl at steel producers including CSC Steel will have to defend their mar-ket share at the expense of margins.

Nonetheless, at the current price, we believe the market has overreacted to the downside.

Also, at the current level, we be-lieve CSC Steel’s share price will be very well supported by a divi-dend yield of 7% per annum, in turn underpinned by a strong balance sheet with a net cash of RM249.4 million or 67.5 sen a share as at Dec 31, 2019. — AmInvestment Bank, March 30

Markets no longer know how to defi ne ‘safe’Th e prevailing feature of this bear market is that nothing has really worked as it was supposed to work

Covid-19 demand hit renders Opec+, Trump manoeuvres irrelevantBY C LY D E R U S S E L L

If the recent sell-off in mar-kets proves anything, it is that for too many years too many people were focused solely on returns with zero consid-eration for risk or safety. The

last time anyone really thought about safety in markets was dur-ing the financial crisis more than a decade ago, when investors could not get enough government bonds or cash.

But as the economy recovered, so did investors’ appetite for risk. A sort of cult of equity developed, with the unshakable belief that stocks would keep going up, and if they ever went down — which they did fairly sharply in the sec-ond half of 2015 and the end of 2018 — they would always come back — which they always did. “Buy the dip” became an actual strategy. Th e American Association of Individual Investors found that its members had an almost 66% allocation to stocks in December, up from 41% at the bottom of the fi nancial crisis.

More importantly, the defi nition of safe morphed as stocks soared to new heights. If you went to your fi nancial adviser and told him or

her that your risk tolerance was low, he or she probably would have put your money in a portfolio of stocks that had a history of rising, not because they had any defen-sive qualities. But as we have seen this month, all stocks can go down with equal ferocity. Th at cult of eq-uity has been shattered — perhaps permanently.

The prevailing feature of this bear market is that nothing has really been safe. If you had any exposure to bonds, it was probably in the form of investment-grade or high-yield, high-risk debt, which were down almost as much as stocks until the stimulus packag-es from the US government and the US Federal Reserve (Fed). And nobody contemplated a scenario where municipal bonds would not be safe. General obligation munis are backed by the unlimited tax-ing power of municipalities, but yet they were not spared, and that market ceased functioning.

US Treasury notes and bonds did provide some diversifi cation benefi ts, but only to a point. Af-ter yields bottomed a couple of weeks ago, a massive unwinding of certain trades and the promise of massive government borrow-ing to fund the fi scal rescue plan

drove yields higher. For decades, bonds mixed with stocks was good enough to achieve diversifi cation, but will probably be less useful going forward.

Gold has been a bit of a disap-pointment. Th e whole reason peo-ple buy it is for situations like this, and it has not worked, initially tak-ing a big dive from about US$1,680 (RM7,308) an ounce to US$1,471 in a matter of weeks. Although some-thing similar happened in the last crisis, with gold peaking early at US$1,000 as Bear Stearns collapsed, and then proceed to go down as the fi nancial system unravelled, before fi nally turning and surging to US$1,900. Although gold has rebounded somewhat, those ex-pecting gold to go up when stocks went down were let down. Sim-ilarly, Bitcoin has also been less than underwhelming. Th e digital currency, which sometimes trades like a haven asset, has mostly trad-ed as a risk asset instead, though it has also recovered somewhat just like with gold.

Money-market funds are strug-gling to avoid a situation like what happened in 2008, when the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy caused the Reserve Primary fund to “break the buck”, which led to

a run on money-market funds. The commercial paper market is smaller than it used to be, but money-market and ultrashort-du-ration bond funds do not strike me as very safe here without help from the Fed.

Only Treasury bills or cash would have provided you with the safety you desired. But cash has its own set of issues and concerns. If you have more than US$250,000 in one bank, there is a chance that it is not entirely safe, either, which people were forced to think about in 2008. Also, it looks like the gov-ernment and the Fed will be drop-ping money out of helicopters, and people are — perhaps prematurely — starting to talk about infl ation again. So on a long-term basis, cash makes less sense.

As for the safety of diff erent in-vestment vehicles, exchange-trad-ed funds (ETFs) that own bonds are again taking heat for trading at a signifi cant discount to their underlying assets (though I wrote about this a few years ago, and it is a feature, not a bug, of ETFs).

And we are again looking at a situation where there is a possi-bility that open-end mutual funds might gate redemptions for liquid-ity reasons.

All of this forces an investor to ask themselves what is safe? Is any-thing really safe? Th e days of dollar cost averaging a standard portfo-lio where 80% is invested in stocks and 20% is invested in bonds and watching your money grow at 10% a year and end up with a few mil-lion dollars at retirement are likely over. Returns will undoubtedly be lower, forcing people to save more and consume less — which is not what is needed for an economic recovery.

My beliefs about risk were shaped years ago reading books such as Th e Black Swan and Th e (Mis)behavior of Markets, which focused on ideas like how fi nan-cial markets follow a power-law distribution, and not a normal distribution, and that markets are vulnerable to large, unforeseen events. Knowing this, you try to build a portfolio that gives you a modicum of exposure to the up-side, but truncates your exposure to the downside.

The bears and the financial doomsday preppers were widely ridiculed during the bull market. I will not say they have been vin-dicated, but people’s perception of risk has been forever altered. — Bloomberg

IMAGINE for a moment that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) and Russia had agreed at the start of this month to extend and deepen their crude oil output cuts. It would not have made the blindest bit of diff erence.

While it was only three and half weeks ago, though it feels as long as a lifetime, the collapse of the deal between Opec and allies, including Russia, to limit output is no longer relevant in a world devastated by Covid-19.

If Opec and its allies, known as Opec+, had agreed to extend the 2.1 million barrels per day (bpd) and add a further 1.5 million bpd, there is little doubt crude prices would not have crashed as they did in the wake of the breakdown of the talks, and the subsequent move by top exporter Saudi Arabia to fl ood the market.

But the rapid spread of Covid-19 beyond its origin in China to most of the populated world, including the major crude demand centres of Europe and North America, means that the current price slump was inevitable, as the scale of the loss of global demand would have simply

overwhelmed the Opec+ output deal, assuming it had been extend-ed and increased.

Th is means that the moves by Russia to try and revive a deal with the Saudis, and pressure from some US senators to try and force action to control supply, are largely mean-ingless and perhaps a signal that the authors of these plans have failed to grasp the extent of the reality of the global economic fallout from the virus.

Even if Saudi Arabia, Russia and the US, the three largest oil produc-ers, acted in concert, it is unlikely that they would be able to reverse the current price slide.

Brent crude futures dropped to as low as US$23.03 (RM100.18) a barrel in early Asian trade yester-day, the weakest in 18 years and 68% below the peak so far in 2020 of US$71.75 on Jan 8, reached just as Covid-19 was starting to spread in its origin city of Wuhan.

Demand drop forecasts optimistic?It is not exactly clear yet just how big a hit global oil demand is cur-rently taking from Covid-19, but several analysts, including the In-ternational Energy Agency, are pegging it at around 20 million

bpd, or roughly 20% of world de-mand.

It may be that even a drop of 20 million bpd is too conservative, given the extent to which aviation and personal transport has been curtailed across much of the pop-ulated world.

With the Saudis boosting crude exports by around 2.6 million bpd in April from January levels, and other producers, including Russia, also adding barrels to the market, the focus has correctly been on where

all this extra crude is going to go.Global storage is limited and

at the current rate of oversupply is likely to be full within a matter of months.

Also, with demand being crunched, refi ners are already cut-ting back on crude purchases, no matter how cheap oil is.

India’s Reliance Industries, which operates two refi neries with a combined capacity of 1.2 million bpd, is offering spot cargoes for April, a rare move that underscores

the extent of the loss of demand in India, Asia’s second-biggest crude importer after China.

Even China may soon lose its ability to soak up additional crude as it runs out of available storage and domestic demand remains soft while the country recovers from Covid-19 and confronts the new reality of weaker global demand for its manufacturing and other exports.

Overall, the crude oil market is actually working fairly well, insofar as a massive supply glut is collaps-ing prices, and ultimately output will have to fall to meet available demand.

Th e problem is nobody wants to be the producer who stops work, meaning even loss-making output may continue for some time, but eventually high-cost companies with weak balance sheets will be forced to the wall.

While eff orts such as the admin-istration of US President Donald Trump planning to send a special energy envoy to Saudi Arabia to work on stabilising global crude markets will give energy journalists something to write about, for the moment the eff orts are likely to be as successful as whistling against the wind. — Reuters

SINGAPORE: Singapore’s central bank took unprecedented eas-ing steps yesterday to support a trade-reliant economy being slammed by the Covid-19 outbreak.

Th e Monetary Authority of Sin-gapore (MAS), which uses the ex-change rate as its main policy tool rather than a benchmark interest rate, lowered the midpoint of the currency band and reduced the slope to zero. Th at implies the cen-tral bank will allow for a weaker exchange rate to help support ex-port-driven growth and to ward off defl ationary threats.

All 16 economists in a Bloomberg survey projected the MAS would take that dual action. Singapore’s curren-cy pared gains of as much as 0.4% to trade little changed at 1.4275 against the dollar as at 9.39am local time.

Th e unusually aggressive policy action follows days after Singapore posted its biggest contraction in gross domestic product (GDP) in a decade in the fi rst quarter and the government projected a severe recession for the full year. Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat

HONG KONG: In a world convulsed by market volatility, there is one surety (for now): Hong Kong’s cur-rency will continue outperforming the greenback.

Elevated local rates relative to the US have made the city’s cur-rency the best carry trade in Asia, and propelled it to a 0.51% gain this month — set for its best in more than 16 years. The strength will likely be sustained as local bor-rowing costs are expected to stay higher than US rates in the near term, while Hong Kong’s interbank liquidity pool remains small.

Even as Hong Kong cut its base interest rate twice in March, liquid-ity remains so tight in the city that the local dollar is edging closer to the strong end of its trading band at 7.75. Demand for the currency has been increased by local banks hoarding cash before quarter-end regulatory checks, and more than 20 days of net local stock purchases by Chinese mainland investors. In addition, a global shortage of US dollars could boost the Hong Kong dollar as a proxy.

BEIJING/SHANGHAI: China’s largest state banks said the im-pact of restrictions on movement imposed to slow the spread of Covid-19 could pull down asset quality as borrowers struggle to repay loans, though they are likely big enough to weather any fallout.

Th e comments come as four of the country’s largest state-backed lenders posted estimate-beating fourth-quarter profi t — but they bode ill for smaller lenders, who have less capital reserves and can call on fewer state borrowers.

Th e outbreak beginning at the end of last year has left many airlines, hotels and other busi-nesses fi ghting to survive after government countermeasures all but paralysed economic activity for over a month.

China’s largest lenders — In-dustrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd (ICBC), China Con-struction Bank Corp and Bank of Communications Co Ltd — posted annual profi t growth of over 4% for 2019 due in part to improving asset quality.

A prolonged pandemic might break the upward trend with ris-ing soured debt and shrinking

last week unveiled a second fi scal support package of S$48 billion (RM145.91 billion) to help busi-nesses and consumers hurt by the virus outbreak.

The MAS’ “statement really re-emphasises that its fi scal poli-

cy that is doing the heavy lifting,” said Selena Ling, head of treas-ury research and strategy at Over-sea-Chinese Banking Corp. The central bank’s action is “going to be complementary, and not the main driver for trying to head off some of

the downside risks from Covid-19.”Th e central bank sees global GDP

“Th e Hong Kong dollar may hit 7.75 in the short term,” said Carie Li, an economist at OCBC Wing Hang Bank Ltd. “Hong Kong rates won’t follow the US borrowing costs to decline quickly even after the quar-ter-end because the local liquidi-ty pool is small, and that will help maintain a wide yield diff erential.”

ICBC president Gu Shu like-wise said the outbreak “will put some pressure on our asset qual-ity,” but that the lender is confi -dent about its overall situation.

Major airlines urge US Treasury to disburse assistance quicklyCarriers have also recommended a formula to divide up the money

LONDON: EasyJet plc has ground-ed its entire fl eet after completing customer-repatriation fl ights, and said it is in talks to build a cash cushion to see it through the gap in business caused by the Covid-19.

Th e restart scheduled fl ights will depend on government restrictions as well as demand, the UK discount carrier said in a statement yester-day. Th e shares fell as much as 7.5%.

Airlines across the globe have been shocked into survival mode by the Covid-19, which has caused an abrupt halt in travel as coun-tries cut off access to fi ght the dis-ease. EasyJet too has been parking planes and idling staff to conserve cash, while operating a handful of

BANGKOK: Th ai Airways Inter-national Pcl may permanently reduce the number of aircraft types it deploys once the Cov-id-19 outbreak that has caused the company to ground most of its fl eet ends, said a senior government offi cial yesterday.

Thai Airways is ground-ing 69 of its 82 jets following a drop in passenger volume and route cancellations from the increased border restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the state-owned airline said in a statement earlier yesterday.

Th e airline’s board and man-agement will come up with two plans by next month, the fi rst to get the carrier through the Covid-19 outbreak and anoth-er for business rehabilitation, Th ai Deputy Transport Minister Th aworn Senniam, the govern-ment offi cial responsible for Th ai Airways, said yesterday.

“Th e rehabilitation plan must be done fast because by October, if Covid-19 subsides, we will need to deliver services to travellers and tourists,” Th aworn said, re-ferring to the respiratory disease caused by the virus.— Reuters

HONG KONG: Urgent demand for medical equipment to fi ght Covid-19 has sent the cost of chartering aircraft skyrock-eting and turned a typically humdrum process into an ul-tra-competitive auction.

“Chartered prices have been pushed up from less than US$300,000 (RM1.31 mil-lion) four to six weeks back to US$600,000 to US$800,000 in the last few days,” Anthony Lau, chairman and founder of logis-tics company Pacifi c Air (HK) Ltd, said in an interview last Friday. “It is absolutely crazy.”

Usually, it would cost US$300,000 to charter a Boeing Co 747 or 777 from Hong Kong to Eu-rope in non-peak season, Lau said.

“Th e price is changing by the hour. We have never, ever experienced this”, said Lau.

An unprecedented col-lapse in passenger demand is prompting airlines to use their fl eets to transport more cargo, including medicines, as the Covid-19 pandemic caus-es major disruptions to sup-ply chains and exacts a heavy toll on the world. Infections globally have climbed above 720,000. — Bloomberg

SYDNEY: Australia’s Qantas Air-ways Ltd said yesterday that pi-lots had voted in favour of a pay deal that would pave the way for the airline to fly the world’s longest non-stop commercial flights from Sydney to London. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the airline has cancelled all its international flights through at least the end of May and pushed a decision on whether to order up to 12 Airbus SE A350-1000 planes for the Sydney-to-Lon-don flights to the end of the year from an earlier deadline of end-March.

“The extraordinary circum-stances facing aviation have seen Airbus agree to extend the deadline on our decision to purchase the A350s so we can both focus on navigating the virus crisis,” Qantas chief pilot Dick Tobiano said in a statement.

“But when this period has

Qantas says pilots approve pay deal covering Sydney-London fl ightsBY J A M I E F R E E D passed, and it will, we will re-

focus our attention on Project Sunrise and the A350 order,” he said. Qantas has named the ultra-long-haul project “Project Sunrise” after the airline’s dou-ble-sunrise endurance flights during World War II.

If the order proceeds, the non-stop fl ights from Sydney to Lon-don and other far-away destina-tions like New York could start in the fi rst half of 2023, allowing the airline to charge passengers a premium in return for avoiding a stopover.

Mark Sedgwick, the president of the Australian and Internation-al Pilots Association (AIPA), the union representing Qantas pilots, said 85% had voted in favour of the agreement.

Earlier this month, AIPA told members the proposed pay deal was “unsatisfactory” but pilots should make their own call giv-en an outsourcing threat and an uncertain economic climate, according to a memo. — Reuters

WASHINGTON: Major US airlines have asked the US Treasury to move quickly to release up to US$58 bil-lion (RM252.3 billion) in govern-ment grants and loans and rec-ommended a formula to divide up the money.

In a letter dated March 28 and seen by Reuters, carriers wrote that “given the urgent and im-mediate need, it is essential that these funds be disbursed as soon as possible”.

Th e letter was signed by the chief executives of American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Alaska Air Group, JetBlue Airways Corp, Southwest Airlines Co, Ha-waiian Airlines and Atlas Air World-wide. It was also signed by senior executives at UPS Corp and FedEx and the head of an airline trade association.

Th e US$2.2 trillion stimulus and assistance legislation signed into law last Friday by US President Donald Trump gives passenger airlines US$25 billion in cash as-sistance to cover payroll costs and US$25 billion in loans, while cargo carriers are eligible for US$4 billion in grants and US$4 billion in loans.

Airlines had threatened to quick-ly start laying off tens of thousands of workers within days if they did

not get a bailout. Treasury faces an April 1 deadline to issue procedures to airlines to apply for grants.

Th e airlines said the Treasury should allocate grants in accord-ance with salaries and benefi ts paid by carriers from April 1 through Sept 30, 2019 and fi led with the US Transportation Department.

Th e letter suggested the loans be divided by each passenger carrier’s pro rata share of “system available

seat miles” for 2019 operations. For cargo carriers, it said the loans should be divided by “revenue ton miles” for 2019 operations.

Treasury did not respond yes-terday to a request for comment on the letter.

Th e carriers’ letter said execu-tives looked forward to meeting with Treasury “to discuss the spe-cifi c terms” but wanted to “make clear that we are speaking with

one voice when we propose these formula allocations”.

According to 2019 stock market fi lings for the top publicly-traded US carriers, American Airlines paid the most in salaries and benefi ts at about US$6.4 billion over a six-month period.

It was followed by United Air-lines, Delta, Southwest, Alaska Air-lines, JetBlue, Spirit Airlines and Hawaiian. — Reuters

repatriation fl ights. Irish rival Ry-anair Holdings plc said last week it planned to ground over 90% of its fl eet in coming weeks.

EasyJet said it completed repa-triation fl ights on Sunday. Cabin crew will get 80% of their pay un-der a government programme, and the company, based in Luton out-side of London, is looking for ways to increase its access to cash. Th e carrier said it has a strong balance sheet and no maturities until 2022.

“We are in ongoing discussions with liquidity providers who recog-nise our strength of balance sheet and business model,” EasyJet said.

EasyJet shares have sunk 61% this year, dropping the carri-er’s market value to £2.2 billion (RM11.82 billion). — Bloomberg

S Korea to pay families to ease virus impactSEOUL: South Korea will make emergency cash payments to all but the richest families and draw up a second supplemen-tary budget next month in a bid to ease the drawn-out eco-nomic impact of Covid-19, Pres-ident Moon Jae-in said yester-day. Moon, after an emergency meeting with economic poli-cymakers, said an “emergency disaster relief payment” of up to one million South Korean won (RM3,536) would be made to all households except the top 30% by income, totalling some 9.1 trillion won. Offi cials said they would prepare another extra budget worth 7.1 trillion won for parliamentary approval in April and some small and medium enterprises would be exempt from paying utility bills starting this month. — Reuters

Japan to ban travellers from US, China, EuropeTOKYO: Japan will step up eff orts to stop the spread of Covid-19 by banning the entry of foreign citizens travelling from the US, China, South Korea and most of Europe, the Asahi newspaper re-ported yesterday. Non-Japanese citizens who have been in any of these areas in the past two weeks will be barred, the paper said. Tokyo may also ban travel to and from some countries in Southeast Asia and Africa, it said, citing unidentifi ed government sources. At present, Japan only bans entry of citizens from some parts of South Korea, China as well as numerous European na-tions, with a request for a two-week self-quarantine for those entering from the US, China and South Korea. — Reuters

Australia curbs gatherings to slow spread of epidemicSYDNEY: Australia’s two most populous states, New South Wales and Victoria, will restrict public gatherings to two peo-ple from midnight, state leaders said yesterday, as part of new measures to slow the spread of Covid-19 which has infected more than 4,000 people across the country. The two eastern states accounted for the majority of Australia’s total Covid-19 in-fections and death toll at 16. “It is only in exceptional circum-stances that you should leave home,” New South Wales Pre-mier Gladys Berejiklian said here yesterday. “We will get through this.” — Reuters

ROME: Th e number of deaths from Covid-19 in Italy fell for the second consecutive day on Sunday but the country still looked almost certain to see an extension of stringent con-tainment measures.

Th e Civil Protection Depart-ment said 756 people died on the last day, bringing the to-tal to 10,779 — more than a third of all deaths from the vi-rus worldwide. Th ere were 133 fewer deaths than 889 deaths on Saturday, when the num-bers fell from a record high of 919 last Friday.

While total confi rmed cases rose to 97,689 on Sunday from a previous 92,472, it was the lowest daily rise in new cases since last Wednesday. But de-spite hopes by Italian offi cials that the downward trend would continue, it appears increasing-ly likely restrictions on all but essential activities due to expire on Friday would be extended.

“Th e measures due to expire on April 3 (Friday) will be ex-tended,” Regional Aff airs Min-ister Francesco Boccia told Sky TG24 television. — Reuters

WASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES: US President Donald Trump on Sunday extended his stay-at-home guidelines until the end of April, dropping a hot-ly criticised plan to get the economy up and running by mid-April after a top medical adviser said more than 100,000 Americans could die from the Covid-19 outbreak.

Th e reversal by Trump, which he said would be disclosed in greater detail today, came as the US death toll topped 2,460 from the respira-tory disease, according to a Reuters tally, with more than 141,000 cases, the most of any country in the world.

“Th e peak, the highest point of the death rate, is likely to hit in two weeks,” Trump told a Covid-19 briefi ng in the White House Rose Garden, fl anked by top advisers and business leaders, “Nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory is won.”

He told Americans: “Th e better you do, the faster this whole night-mare will end.”

Earlier on Sunday, Dr Anthony Fauci, a director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN that the pan-demic could ultimately kill between 100,000 and 200,000 people in the US if mitigation is unsuccessful.

Since 2010, the flu has killed between 12,000 and 61,000 Amer-icans a year, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Th e 1918-1919 fl u pandemic killed 675,000 in the US, according to the CDC.

Fauci softened his dire predic-tions at the Rose Garden brief-ing, saying they were based on models run to show the worst-case scenario if Americans do not follow stay-at-home directives. — Reuters

LONDON: Th e Covid-19 epidem-ic in the UK is showing signs of slowing and antibody tests could be ready in days, Neil Ferguson, a professor of mathematical biology at Imperial College London, said yesterday.

“We think the epidemic is just about slowing in the UK right now,” Ferguson told BBC radio.

Britain, the world’s fi fth-largest economy, initially took an approach to containing the virus spread that was modest in comparison to Euro-pean countries such as Italy.

‘UK infections slowing, antibody test could be ready in days’

But UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson imposed stringent controls after projections showed a quarter of a million people could die. Johnson last Friday became the fi rst leader of a major power to announce a positive test result for Covid-19. He is self-isolating in Downing Street.

Ferguson said a third or even 40% of people do not get any symptoms. He said perhaps 2% to 3% of the UK’s population had been infected.

But Ferguson cautioned the data are not good enough to make fi rm extrapolations.

He said antibody tests are in the fi nal stage of validation and could

be ready to use in “days rather than weeks”.

Health offi cials on Sunday said fi gures showed 1,228 patients in the UK tested positive for Covid-19 had died.

As of 0800 GMT on Sunday, 127,737 people in the UK were test-ed, of which 108,215 were con-fi rmed negative and 19,522 con-fi rmed positive.

When asked whether the anti-body test would be ready in days, Junior Health Minister Helen What-ely told BBC radio: “I am not going to confirm when that’s going to arrive.” — Reuters

NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: India has no plans to extend a 21-day lockdown to slow the spread of Cov-id-19, the government said yester-day, as it struggled to keep essential supplies fl owing and prevent tens of thousands of out-of-work people fl eeing to the countryside.

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi ordered the country’s 1.3 billion people to remain indoors

India says not going to extend lockdown as poor struggleuntil April 15, saying that is the only hope to stop the epidemic. But the order has left millions of impoverished Indians jobless and hungry.

Defying the lockdown, hun-dreds of thousands of workers who live on daily wages left big cities such as Delhi and Mumbai on foot for their homes in the countryside, many with families. Th ey said they had no food or money.

Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba told Reuters partner, ANI, that there

is no plan to extend the shutdown beyond the three weeks, rejecting reports that a prolonged closure is likely.

India has 1,071 cases of Cov-id-19, of whom 29 have died, the health ministry said yesterday. Th e numbers are small compared with those of the US, Italy and China, but health offi cials said India is weeks away from a major surge in cases that could overwhelm its weak public health system. — Reuters

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e FBM KLCI closed 14.21 points or 1.06% lower yesterday at 1,328.88 as crude oil prices slumped amid jitters from the Covid-19 pandemic’s global economic impact as countries restrict movement to curb the outbreak. At 5pm, the KLCI closed at 1,328.88 after falling to its intraday low of 1,317.39, as crude oil prices slumped below U$20 a barrel. Crude oil prices fell on expectation the Covid-19 outbreak will erode demand at a time when the Saudi Arabia-Russia price war leads to anticipation of higher supply of the commodity in world markets. “Th e key issue for investors at this moment at this time is how long the pause in economic activity as a result of the virus will continue, and how much of an economic impact will be present. “What is happening is not just in Malaysia, it is also happening on a global level,” Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd research vice president Vincent Lau told theedgemarkets.com yesterday. Across Bursa Malaysia yesterday, 2.83 billion shares were traded for RM1.86 billion. A total of 511 counters declined, while 305 gained. Top active stocks included oil and gas-related counters Bumi Armada Bhd and Hibiscus Petroleum Bhd, which saw some 64 million and 48 million shares traded respectively. Bumi Armada’s share price closed down half a sen or 3.7% at 13 sen, while Hibiscus fell one sen or 3.08% to 31.5 sen. — byArjuna Chandran Shankar
