We are raising our FY15-17 DPS forecasts from 4 sen to 10 sen following our assessment of YTL’s dividend income stream from its operating units.

Global Economic News

The world is facing a global jobs crisis that is hurting the chances of reigniting economic growth, the World Bank warned.

The study released said an extra 600 million jobs needed to be created worldwide by 2030 just to cope with the expanding population.

"And equally disturbingly, we're also seeing wage and income inequality widening within many G20 countries, although progress has been made in a few emerging economies, like Brazil and South Africa," World Bank's senior director for jobs, Nigel Twose, said. (AFP)

The US Federal Reserve is planning risk-based capital standards for banks that will be tougher than the level required by the 27-nation Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, Fed Governor Daniel Tarullo said. The surcharge formula will take into account US banks’ reliance on short-term wholesale funding, he added. (Bloomberg)

The US National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) said its Small Business Optimism Index rose to 96.1 in Aug (95.7 in Jul). (Reuters)

US job openings was 4.67m in Jul (4.68m in Jun, which was the highest since Feb 2001). (Bloomberg)

The Obama administration announced a series of measures to help shore up crumbling US infrastructure, including half a billion dollars in loans for the electric grid.

The moves are part of the administration’s efforts to address what it says is a US$1tr funding gap for transportation, water and electricity needs over the next six years. (Reuters)

France and Germany, the euro area’s two largest economies, will say they’re not interested in providing state guarantees for the European Central Bank (ECB) president’s asset-purchase program, according to a draft document obtained by Bloomberg News, stating “an intervention in the form of a public guarantee would be problematic.” (Bloomberg)

The US should commit to exporting oil and natural gas to Europe under a transatlantic trade deal in light of the European Union (EU)'s geopolitical situation, the EU trade commissioner said.

Overturning a 40-year US ban on oil exports by agreeing to send oil to Europe could pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin by lowering global crude prices. (Reuters)

Some Bank of Japan (BOJ) policymakers said Japan's exports could be slow to respond to developments in overseas economies due to structural changes, such as a shift in production overseas, minutes of the Aug 7-8 meeting showed. However, they believe exports are likely to recover as overseas economies expand. Members also agreed that inflation is likely to accelerate in the second half of this fiscal year as the output gap improves, the minutes showed. (Reuters)

India usually revises the method of calculating national accounts and other macro data every five years, bringing in a newer base year and adjusting for changes in the economy. (Reuters)

Australia’s business confidence fell to 8 points in Aug (10 points in Jul) while business conditions fell to 4 points (8 points in Jul), according to National Australia Bank (NAB)'s monthly Business Survey. (WSJ)

Malaysian Economic News

The second and third generations of Felda settlers should attend a mechanised operator course (KOML) to help improve their skills, Deputy Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Noriah Kasnon said. She said this would enable the oil palm plantation sector to continue to contribute to the economic development while reducing dependence on foreign workers.

Noriah said until June this year, Malaysia faced 30,865 workers' shortage in the oil palm plantation sector as it needs 666,075 workers or an average of one worker to every eight hectares of the plantation.

Ironically, 345,463 workers or 78.13 per cent of the 442,175 oil palm plantation workers are foreigners. Noriah said KOML, introduced by the MPOB through the Malaysian Palm Training Centre (Plasma) enable trainees to optimise their skills, especially in the use of farm machinery, thus reducing dependence on foreign labour.

MPOB chairman Datuk Wan Mohammad Khair-il Anuar Wan Ahmad said the knowledge acquired by the trainees on the use of mechanisation from land preparation to harvesting fresh fruit bunches could help improve oil palm plantation efficiency and productivity. (Bernama)

The Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) aims to achieve RM5 billion in potential sales from the 18th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT). Its vice-president Datuk Joseph Lim Heng Ee said eight memorandums of understanding worth RM1.67 billion (US$521 million) had been signed between Malaysian companies and Chinese firms on Tuesday. Hence, he was confident of achieving the target during the four-day fair beginning September 8. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's special envoy to China, Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting believed Malaysia and China could achieve the target of US$160 billion in bilateral trade by 2017 following a series of vigorous supports and measures provided by both governments. (Bernama)

Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) has disbursed a total of RM117.79 billion to unitholders from 1981 to August 2014 on the back of investments including in strategic companies. "PNB now manages 187.8 billion units by 12.07 million unitholders as of Aug 31, 2014," he said. Ahmad Sarji urged all Malaysians to invest consistently for their future and for their families, saying just a monthly investment of RM50 in a fund that offers a return of about seven per cent could generate RM60,998 in 30 years.(Bernama)

Bank Negara Malaysia Governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz has been accorded "Grade A" among the heads of central banks for the 11th consecutive time by the Global Finance magazine. The magazine, headquartered in New York and with offices in London, Rio de Janeiro and Milan, named the heads of the central banks of India, Israel, Malaysia, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and Taiwan as the World's Best Central Bankers over the past year. Giarraputo said each year, the magazine assessed the determination of central bankers to stand up to political interference and their efforts at influencing their governments on such issues as spending and economic openness to foreign investment and financial services. (Bernama)

The Malaysian rail industry has tremendous potentials for growth, with the country expected to spend up to RM160 billion on rail development projects by 2020. Land Public Transport Commision chairman, Tan Sri Syed Hamid Syed Jaafar Albar, said the industry would get a boost with the ongoing construction of mass rail transit (MRT), expansion of light rail transit (LRT) and the planning of high-speed rail (HSR) connecting Singapore with Kuala Lumpur.

"MRT and HSR are not the end of rail development periods. There are plans for more new developments in future such as LRT 2 & 3, MRT 2 and Trans-Asian railway," he said. He said the HSR project was still under the evaluation stage by both nations.

On the Trans-Asian Railway project, he said, all the Asean countries in Asia mainland would be connected with China through the railway.

"The project originally was to link Singapore to Kunming, China. But now the plan is to extend it up to Nanjing, China," he said. (Bernama)

The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) has developed several initiatives to address the challenges faced by Malaysian export companies in the global market and help them penetrate markets that are getting more complex. Its chairman Datuk Noraini Ahmad said among the programmes and initiatives was 'Go-Ex' programme and development programmes for mid-level companies. "Both initiatives involve specific assistance programmes structured according to the participating companies' abilities to increase their export skills. "This year MATRADE organises some 147 export promotion activities involving 436 markets in 20 sectors. Among the sectors are food, lifestyle, construction materials, franchise, oil and gas, electrical and electronics, transportation, halal, healthcare, information and communications technology and logistics," she added. (Bernama)

The government is committed to continue developing the fast growing private equity investment industry and is keen to attract global and regional private equity firms to make Malaysia their regional operations hub.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Senator Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar said Malaysia offered much in terms of attractive cost of operations, offshore capital markets in Labuan and equally efficient transport connections to all regional cities.

"One of the ways to spur private investment is to make sure businesses have adequate excess to capital, which has traditionally been debt capital and equity capital, but another form of capital which we believe is still very much at initial stage is private equity.

"We have seen the growth of private equity market in Malaysia, growing at about the mid-teens level. We believe the potential can be a lot more, and the benefit would be tremendous as value would be created arising from private equity capital activities," he said.

For the first half of this year, private investment amounted to RM97.5 billion or 69 per cent of the total RM141 billion investment during the period. Last year, private investment stood at RM160 billion or 60.5 per cent of the total investment. (Bernama)

Regulatory changes will pose new challenges to corporations, says Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) Chief Executive Officer Datuk Mohd Naim Daruwish. He said the corporate community has a great responsibility to ensure high standards of professionalism and ethical conduct are observed in tandem with the legal reform and policies. "As the global corporate world evolves and becomes more complex, Malaysia's corporate regulations are also undergoing reform, including a review of the Companies Act 1965."Other legislation like the Competition Act and the impending Goods and Services Tax Act would also offer significant challenges in the way we do business," he said. (Bernama)

Malaysian companies have secured sales worth RM528.30 million during a specialised mission for the oil and gas (O&G) sector to Stavanger, Norway. "Sales were generated for waste heat recovery unit, accommodation barge, gaskets, metal expansion joints and special valves as well as engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning business," said Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE).

At a bilateral meeting, Minister for Natural Resources and Environment Datuk G. Palanivel and his counterpart in India Prakash Javadekar reiterated the need to work closely in the domain of international negotiations so as to protect the interests of developing countries.

During the discussions both ministers discussed the possibility of cooperation in the areas of technical exchange for forest bio-diversity conservation with the focus on issues such as DNA finger-printing of wildlife animals, sustainable forest management, production forestry, strengthening forest based livelihoods, e-waste management, river cleaning and water conservation. They also discussed the possibility of enhancing bilateral cooperation in climate change and watershed management. (Bernama)

The Transport Ministry will propose to the government that vehicles from Thailand entering Malaysia be imposed the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) charge. Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi said it was hoped that the charge could be coordinated with the VEP charge imposed on foreign cars from Singapore entering through Johor, due to be implemented on Jan 1, 2015. He said the move to impose the VEP charge on vehicles from Thailand like those from Singapore was to standardise the cross-border fee system in the country. (Bernama)

The government introduces the Rent to Own scheme to help 1Malaysia People's Housing (PR1MA) applicants to face problems in obtaining housing loans from the bank. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the scheme was set up specially for the young generation to acquire their dream houses. "This programme is to help applicants who are rejected by the bank, such as those without permanent jobs or a bad track record. "Hence we agree with the bank to offer the Rent to Own scheme that enables the applicant to only pay rent within 20 to 30 years and the house will belong to them," he said. Najib also said the government agreed to build another 2,000 units of PR1MA houses at the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) depot site and 10,000 units in Labu hear here. (Bernama)

The implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) will put Malaysia on an equal footing with other countries in terms of export competitiveness, said Royal Malaysian Customs Department Director-General Datuk Seri Khazali Ahmad. He said although the sales tax regime did not tax exports, the exported goods themselves were not completely free of taxes since some of the hidden taxes, which cannot be relieved, would have been built into the final export pricing. "For example, some of capital goods and services consumed are taxed in the production of exported goods simply because there is no mechanism under the present tax system to relieve such hidden taxes.

"This ultimately makes our exported products less competitive in the international market," Khazali said. He said the GST was expected to enhance tax efficiency, since it is a multi-staged tax covering all sectors of the economy. (Bernama)

Political News

PKR remained coy on the possibility of submitting at least three names for the Selangor Menteri Besar post but the party confirmed it had sent a letter to the Palace following a royal rebuke last week for only nominating its president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail for the position.

"We have sent the letter to the Palace but I do not know the contents. All I know is that the letter was sent and it was acknowledged by the Palace," he said after attending the party's political bureau meeting tonight, adding that the meeting did not specifically discuss the issue of nominating more candidates for the post.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 ripped apart mid-air after being hit by "numerous high energy objects" that ruptured the fuselage before crashing in eastern Ukraine, Dutch Safety Board said in a preliminary report on the crash. The Boeing 777-200 suffered structural damage after being penetrated from the outside pointing to a missile attack which resulted in structural damage and killing all 298 people onboard. The investigator said there was "no evidence of technical or human error", however, the report did not mention nor identify a missile strike as the cause of the tragedy.

"The initial results of the investigation point towards an external cause of the MH17 crash. More research will be necessary to determine the cause with greater precision. The Safety Board believes that additional evidence will become available for investigation in the period ahead."

"The preliminary report issues the first findings in an ongoing investigation. From this point on, the investigation team will be working towards producing its final report. The board aims to publish this report within one year of the date of the crash," Dutch Safety Board chairman Tjibbe Joustra said. (Malaysian Reserve)

1Malaysia Development Bhd will likely defer listing its power assets to the first quarter of 2015, the Wall Street Journal reported. According to the report, one of the reasons for the delay was that 1MDB was still negotiating the terms of a loan it is seeking from banks. The IPO, which would raise US$3bn, was expected to be the largest IPO in South-East Asia this year. WSJ also reported that 1MDB had yet to apply for listing approval from securities regulator, including the stock exchange. (StarBiz)

Digistar Corp Bhd has received the conditional approval for a money lending licence from the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Ministry. The information and communications technology and property development firm said in its filing with Bursa Malaysia that its unit Nielsen Ward Sdn Bhd received the letter from the ministry yesterday. The company has three months to fulfil the conditions imposed in the ministry’s letter dated Aug 20, 2014.

CEO Datuk Wira Lee Wah Chong told StarBiz that the conditions imposed by the ministry were straightforward and relatively simple, such as setting up an office.“The money lending licence will complement our existing businesses,” he added. The licence could come in handy when potential buyers of Digistar’s property in Malacca are limited with the certain thresholds banks can impose.

The Heritage, Digistar’s RM150mil gross development value serviced apartment project in Malacca, has seen a 70% take-up rate and is to be opened in November. The remainder 30% is to be rented out for recurring income. (StarBiz)

Datuk Choo Chuo Siang, a non-executive director in Pavilion REIT, has emerged as a substantial shareholder in property company Global Oriental Bhd (GOB) with 14.9m shares or a 6.55% stake. Choo is deemed to have an interest in GOB via Indera Muhibbah Sdn Bhd, which he acquired from Goh Chee Keen, Gan Wei Pin and How Wee Teck on Sept 3. This resulted in Goh, Gan and How ceasing to be substantial shareholders of GOB. GOB, formerly Equine Capital Bhd, is deemed linked to Pavilion REIT chairman Tan Sri Desmond Lim Siew Choon and tycoon Tan Sri Ta Kin Yan.

The company reportedly plans to kickstart more than RM2bn worth of developments next year. It has work underway to develop 106 acres in Batu Kawan, Penang, with a gross development value (GDV) of RM662m. It is also in a joint development with Lembaga Getah Malaysia in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, with a GDV of RM1.2bn. (StarBiz)

In a move that came as a surprise, Tan Sri Mohd Nadzmi Mohd Salleh strengthened his hold on bus operator Konsortium Transnasional Bhd (KTB) by acquiring a further 15% in the company. This will increase his stake to almost 75% in KTB, the maximum that he can acquire without having to trigger a mandatory general offer. In an announcement yesterday, KTB said Nadicorp Holdings Sdn Bhd acquired 64m shares (or 15.89%) in the company from Affin Investment Bank at 62.5 sen each for RM40m. The off-market deal is worth more than double KTB’s closing share price of 30.5 sen on Monday. (StarBiz)

Brahmal Vasudevan, the founder of private equity fund Creador, described his entry into and partial exit from IFCA MSC Bhd as a "short term" trade. After his sale of 11.25m shares or 2.5% of IFCA on Sept 2, Brahmal, whose corporate moves are often watched by others, still has a 3% stake in the company. Following the announcement of Brahmal selling its stake, the share price of IFCA has seen some heavy selling.

The 3,196-unit Seremban Sentral 1Malaysia People's Housing (PR1MA) project is expected to be completed by 2017. PR1MA chairman, Tan Sri Jamaluddin Jarjis, said the project would be divided into two phases. The phase one, which would have 1,504 units, would be ready in 30 months and the rest in 36 months. "The prices of the houses are guaranteed to be 20 per cent cheaper than the prevailing market rate. We will study first the estimated income of the buyers and fix the prices which would be affordable to them. "We believe that the project will help an estimated 3,000 rakyat own houses in the town," he said. Jamaluddin said 12,000 people had registered to buy PR1MA houses in the state and about 8,000 had registered for Seremban Sentral project. PR1MA has more than 700,000 interested buyers listed on its national registration system. (Bernama)

Those who cannot secure bank loans for the 1Malaysia People's Housing Scheme (PR1MA) can own the units they are staying in by paying rental for up to 30 years, under a government plan. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the Rent-to-Own (RTO) scheme was designed to allow potential buyers, who could not afford these units or had been turned away by the banks due to various factors, to own PR1MA units. "Under the RTO scheme, the buyers will have to pay rent for, say, 20 to 30 years and will eventually own these units.

The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail project is on track, with Malaysia having completed its feasibility studies on the project and Singapore about to complete its own evaluation, said the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD). SPAD chairman Tan Sri Syed Hamid said he hope both parties could reach an agreement over the location of the HSR line. He added that the details of the HSR project would be more "definite" by January. (Financial Daily)

The Malaysian government has asserted its support to continue to expand the private equity (PE) sector in Malaysia in efforts to attract more participation from global and regional investors. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar said there are still ample opportunities that can be explored by the industry players in the oil and gas, consumer and real estate as well as the healthcare industry.

"The government has always supported the development of private equity in this country as they are seen to have an important role in driving economic growth," he said. (Malaysian Reserve)

Malaysia's second biggest pension fund, Retirement Fund Incorporated (KWAP) has appointed Nik Amlizan Mohamed as its new chief investment officer effective immediately. In a statement on Tuesday, KWAP said Nik Amlizan joined KWAP in 2007 as head of equity and subsequently became senior director, equity in February 2014. (StarBiz)

Battersea Power Station Development Co, which had begun a £10bn regeneration of the site on London’s south bank, aimed to finalise another round of financing by the end of October, its chief Rob Tincknell said on Monday. “We’re finalising arrangements for phase two and three of construction funding,” said Tincknell. He declined to reveal the value of the new construction funding, but said it would hopefully be finalised before he embarks on a world tour on Oct 29 to promote the project. (StarBiz)
