REVIEW & OUTLOOK AS AT END April 2010 

Malaysian equity market moved up another 1.95% ending the FBM KLCI at 1,346 points.As expected, the benchmark was slightly volatile due to foreign events such as debtproblems in Greece, a charge on Goldman Sachs for fraud by the US government andimposition of anti-speculation measures in China. Nevertheless, Malaysian economicfigures continue to show resilience on a relatively tame inflation environment (1.16% inFebruary). Corporate results for 1Q10 have started to be released in April and streetexpectation of a strong recovery and growth had helped elevate the FBM KLCI higher.

Ringgit continued to be stronger when it hit RM3.18 to a USD or 2.45% stronger than theprevious month. Crude palm oil price stayed flat throughout the month despite the crude oilclimbed by almost 3% at USD 86.15 a barrel. Hence, plantation stocks did not contribute tothe increase in equity market.

The movement in FBM KLCI was mainly dominated by the movement in large capitalisedstocks especially MISC Bhd, RHB Capital Bhd and Tenaga Nasional Bhd. Other than that,automotive, insurance and technology stocks had also made significant gains due to pickup in consumer demands, potential mergers and acquisition and potential improvement inclaims ratio among general insurers. Manufacturing sales in Malaysia continued to recordgrowth of 17.3% YoY in February on top of 28.8% growth YOY in January. Beneficiary tohigher sales in manufacturing were the technology related sectors and building materialswhere global demand had escalated. Another encouragement was seen in national tradebalance where it improved by another RM11.7 billion from RM12.9 billion in January.

Among the pertinent corporate news, Pos Malaysia Bhd intends to revise the price of itsdomestic postage stamps for the first time in 18 years, from RM0.30 to RM0.60 whilesalary and allowances of its staff would be adjusted to be at par with their counterparts inthe civil service. This led the stock jumped by more than 28% in April. Sentiment of thestock market was further improved when Petronas announced that it had identified MISC's

Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE) and its petrochemicals business forimmediate listings.

Outlook and Strategy May would be the reporting season for 1Q10 results for many companies and we reckonthat many would record encouraging numbers. Nevertheless, investors would face the riskthat such numbers could have already been discounted in the current market price. Hence,a market correction right after the result is a viable risk to ponder. On the other hand, itappears that news on Mega Projects is picking up as the Syarikat Prasarana Negara hadshortlisted companies to build the RM7 to 8 billion LRT extension projects in Klang Valley.News as such, would boost sentiment in the market ahead on 10

We shall continue to takeprofits on investments that has done relatively well and that has reached its target value.
