REGIONAL DAILY December 26, 2012 IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES, INCLUDING ANY REQUIRED RESEARCH CERTIFICATIONS, ARE PROVIDED AT THE END OF THIS REPORT. MALAYSIA Malaysia Daybreak | 18 February 2014 What’s on the Table… —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Plantations - 2nd biodiesel harvest for Pertamina We are positive that Pertamina, Indonesia’s state O&G company has secured 1.14m kl of biodiesel through its 2nd tender, bringing the total biodiesel secured to 2.4m kl for 2014/15 and an estimated 1.76m kl for 2014. This is broadly in line with our forecast of 2m kl but 34% short of Pertamina's target for 2014. Pertamina plans to procure more biodiesel through more tenders. We are slightly disappointed that Pertamina appears to have lowered its 2014/15 biodiesel tender target from 6.6m kl to 5.3m kl. Overall, we are Neutral on the news and the sector and keep First Resources, Wilmar, AALI, LSIP and Ta Ann as our top picks. AMMB Holdings - Banking on insurance income At 74% of our full-year forecast and 73% of consensus, AMMB’s 9MFY3/14 net profit was within expectations. The 9M net profit grew by 9% yoy, mainly supported by the swift expansion of insurance income but net interest income only rose by 0.9% yoy. Our DDM-based target price (cost of equity of 10%; long-term growth of 4%) is intact. Despite trading at a discount to the sector’s valuation, AMMB remains a Hold given the concerns over (1) weak loan growth, (2) upturn in credit costs, and (3) margin compression. Among Malaysian banks, we prefer RHB Capital. Cuscapi - Long-overdue KLIA2 job finally in the pocket Cuscapi has finally secured the KLIA2 contract from MAHB. The project would have started much earlier if not for the construction delays at the new low-cost carrier terminal. We expect the company to post a net loss in 4Q13 (following 3Q13’s disappointing loss), but 2014 should be much better as jobs delayed from 2013 commence, and commercial revenue from REV start to kick in. We cut our 2013 EPS but maintain our 2014/15 numbers as REV should start to contribute from 2014. Our target price is unchanged at 21x CY15 P/E, based on its 2-year average forward P/E. Stronger-than-expected demand for REV and M&As are potential catalysts for the stock. Cuscapi remains an Add. Economic Update - Reasonable growth ahead The latest data for Malaysia’s leading index show continued steady growth. The Dec 13 index grew 2.6% yoy, with gains in four of seven indicators. As households and businesses adjust to the rising cost of living and the higher operating costs, we expect the combination of private spending and firmer export recovery to support our estimate of a 5.0% GDP growth for this year (vs. +4.7% in 2013). Robust private investment growth, estimated at 13.2% this year, would remain the prime mover.

    ▌What’s on the Table… ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

    Plantations - 2nd biodiesel harvest for Pertamina We are positive that Pertamina, Indonesia’s state O&G company has secured 1.14m kl of biodiesel through its 2nd tender, bringing the total biodiesel secured to 2.4m kl for 2014/15 and an estimated 1.76m kl for 2014.

We are slightly disappointed that Pertamina appears to have lowered its 2014/15 biodiesel tender target from 6.6m kl to 5.3m kl. Overall, we are Neutral on the news and the sector and keep First Resources, Wilmar, AALI, LSIP and Ta Ann as our top picks.

    AMMB Holdings - Banking on insurance income

    At 74% of our full-year forecast and 73% of consensus, AMMB’s 9MFY3/14 net profit was within expectations. The 9M net profit grew by 9% yoy, mainly supported by the swift expansion of insurance income but net interest income only rose by 0.9% yoy. Our DDM-based target price (cost of equity of 10%; long-term growth of 4%) is intact. Despite trading at a discount to the sector’s valuation, AMMB remains a Hold given the concerns over (1) weak loan growth, (2) upturn in credit costs, and (3) margin compression. Among Malaysian banks, we prefer RHB Capital.

    Cuscapi - Long-overdue KLIA2 job finally in the pocket

    Cuscapi has finally secured the KLIA2 contract from MAHB. The project would have started much earlier if not for the construction delays at the new low-cost carrier terminal. We expect the company to post a net loss in 4Q13 (following 3Q13’s disappointing loss), but 2014 should be much better as jobs delayed from 2013 commence, and commercial revenue from REV start to kick in. We cut our 2013 EPS but maintain our 2014/15 numbers as REV should start to contribute from 2014. Our target price is unchanged at 21x CY15 P/E, based on its 2-year average forward P/E. Stronger-than-expected demand for REV and M&As are potential catalysts for the stock. Cuscapi remains an Add.

    Economic Update - Reasonable growth ahead

    The latest data for Malaysia’s leading index show continued steady growth. The Dec 13 index grew 2.6% yoy, with gains in four of seven indicators. As households and businesses adjust to the rising cost of living and the higher operating costs, we expect the combination of private spending and firmer export recovery to support our estimate of a 5.0% GDP growth for this year (vs. +4.7% in 2013). Robust private investment growth, estimated at 13.2% this year, would remain the prime mover.

    “As long as we don’t have inflation rates above 2% for a longer period of time, we may keep interest rates at the present level or lower,” European Central Bank Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny said, providing more insight into how long EU policy makers need to keep interest rates low.

    Malaysia received RM38.7bn in investments last year - the highest in the country's history. International Trade and Industry (Miti) Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said the amount is inclusive of both foreign and local investments. Foreign investors were bringing in sophisticated technologies, mostly in the services and high technology sectors, while domestic investors are important in sectors such as real estate, construction and tourism.

    He said Malaysia is expected to sustain last year's momentum and with the strengthening domestic economy, investments are expected to improve compared to 2013. (Bernama)

    PM Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the government will continue to emphasise on the development of the creative industry which can potentially contribute to a higher gross domestic product (GDP) going forward. He said currently, the Malaysian creative industry only contributed 1.3% to the GDP compared to developed countries, such as the US, South Korea and Japan, which contributed up to 7% to the GDP. The government has approved an allocation of RM200m in the 2012 Budget to boost the local creative industry. (Bernama)

    Nine in ten Malaysians plan to save more than they did six months ago, said the recent MasterCard Consumer Purchasing Priorities survey. MasterCard said the respondents listed investments and retirement as top reasons for saving, followed by renovating or building a home.

    According to the survey, in the event of a drop in household income, Malaysians said they would cut back on several items with overseas holiday being top of the list followed by dining out and domestic travel.

    Should there be an increase in household income, Malaysians showed a similar trend with the most popular choice being to pay off debt, followed by putting money into their saving bank accounts. (Bernama)

    Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the ministry would also assist the farmers to buy 300 mobile suction pumps worth RM400,000 to enable the farmers to draw water from the Kelantan river. The government had also agreed to build weirs to solve the water and irrigation problems. “I expect the weirs to be ready by 2015,” he said. (The Star)

    The government will conduct a survey to get public feedback on locations for affordable housing, through its soon-to-be-launched property portal called Rumahku Exchange. Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan said the public should tap into the portal and notify the government and developers of their preferred location for the next affordable housing project. (NST)

    Political News…

    Utusan Malaysia yesterday launched a stinging attack on non-Malays, accusing them of insulting Islam, Muslims and the Malay rulers, and warning them to know their "limits". In an article by the deputy editor of the paper's weekend edition Mingguan Malaysia, the daily said the "laidback, compromising" attitude of the Malays had led to non-Malays overstepping their boundaries and daring to question previously off-limit subjects.

    "Non-Malays have apparently forgotten that Malaysia's majority population is Malays. They have no respect at all for the Bumiputera. Why has this happened? It is because we are too compromising, too afraid to take action against those who have insulted Malays and Islam.

    "In the end, it appears as if non-Malays are the landlords and Malays are the tenants, immigrants and the minority in our own country," wrote Azman Anuar in his article entitled "Melayu, Islam dihina di Tanah Melayu!".

    "Ever since respected and knowledgeable Malay leaders withdrew several years ago, non-Muslims have become emboldened in insulting the Malay community and Islam," he said, without naming the Malay leaders.

    He said non-Malays appeared to have forgotten that their ancestors became Malaysian citizens due to the Malays' compromise. "Now that they have prospered and gained a firmer foothold both economically and politically, non-Malays forget that it was given to them by the Malays,"

    Saying non-Malays were playing with fire, Azman, who was recently promoted to his current post in the paper, also accused them of refusing to respect Malay culture, language and customs. "It is a just a matter of time before the hornets who are attempting to defend their nest against intruders will retaliate." (Malaysian Insider)

    Former Deputy Minister P. Waythamoorthy, who abruptly resigned last week, has apologised to the Indian poor for Hindraf's inability to fulfil its pledges to them. He said he had resigned for "not being able to fulfil socio-economic reform programmes" based on an MoU signed between Hindraf and the Government prior to the general election last year. "Before the last general election, we called on the Indian community to vote for Barisan. They responded, and Barisan won narrowly. Now 10 months after the elections, Hindraf is not able to fulfil any of the pldges we made to the Indian poor during the elections." Waythamoorthy claimed that over the last eight months, he had tried to work patiently with the PM to roll out the programmes as stated in the agreement. However, he said they had not been able to move on even one item. (Star)

    Corporate News…

    The Government has implemented a measure to control bulk sales of property to try and curb the proliferation of "property clubs" that have been walking away with handsome profits, especially in the Klang Valley. Minister of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan said developers selling more than four units of their properties to a single buyer or group must now obtain prior approval from the Controller of Housing. Because property clubs buy in bulk, it gets a steep discount and pays a smaller down-payment compared to an individual house buyer. The benefits accrued are then passed on to its members. (Star)

    This is another move by the authorities to curb speculation by targeting property clubs. While the impact should be mildly negative for the property sector in the short term, the overall impact will be muted as property clubs make up a very small percentage of general demand. Also, it will help curb excessive speculation and the unfair advantage accorded to property clubs, which will be healthy for the property sector over the longer term.

    Mah Sing Group will launch projects worth about RM7.18bn in Kuala Lumpur in the first quarter of 2014. The projects comprise the RM1.15bn Lakeville Residence in Taman Wahyu Kepong, featuring serviced partrments and shop offices; the RM5.13bn Southville City@KL South in Bangi comprising linked landed properties and the RM901m D'Sara Sentral in Sungai buloh, comprising serviced apartments, retails shops and small office versatile office units.

    The unexpected outages of two key coal-fired power plants, Jimah and Tanjung Bin, for some two months may see the national power utility Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) take a hit on its next quarterly results. The plants owned by independent power producers (IPPs) are now up and running since early this month, though maybe not at full throttle. The malfunctions were attributed to boiler tube leakages at the power plants, according to industry executives. The real technical problem is believed yet to be resolved, they added.

    "Jimah and Tanjung (Bin) are up and running but performing below par, Investigations are still in progress to check the main cause for the malfunction of these power plants. The issue is not completely resolved," an industry source said. (Malaysian Reserve)

    YTL Corp Bhd's hospitality arm, YTL Hotels & Properties Sdn Bhd, aims to expand the Vistana hotel chain nationwide over the next few years. Deputy managing director Datuk Yeoh Seok Kian said YTL Hotels is also eyeing luxury hotel brands to include in its classic collection. YTL Hotels owns and manages a collection of hotels and Spa villages locally and in Thailand, Indonesia, China, Japan and Europe. These include Pangkor Laut Resort, Cameron Highlands

    Sunway REIT Management Sdn Bhd (SREIT) is cautiously optimistic on growth this year. Its chief executive officer Datuk Jeffrey Ng said this year will be challenging for Sunway REIT in terms of dividend per unit (DPU), with the temporary closure of the shopping mall at Sunway Putra Place, which is undergoing renovations. He said Sunway REIT has put in place mitigative strategies to maintain its DPU this year. These include renewal of tenancy agreements at Sunway Pyramid, reducing operation cost and completing the refurbishment of Sunway Hotel Seberang Jaya, Penang. (BT)

    Al-Hadharah Boustead REIT, one of four Islamic real estate investment trusts on Bursa Malaysia Bhd, will be delisted tomorrow ahead of a bigger initial public offering of shares planned by its main shareholder. Al-Hadharah, which manages 12 plantation assets worth RM1.2bn, will delist after its units were thinly traded and the company found it difficult to maintain dividend yields. Boustead Holdings offered to pay RM2.10 per unit, oRM627m, for the 46.4% it did not own in Al-Hadharah. Al-Hadharah had previously said mature plantation assets needed for growth were scarce and expensive, while its policy of distributing 90% of earnings as dividends meant that funds for investment were limited.

    FlyFirefly Sdn Bhd, the turbo prop operating arm of Malaysia Airlines (MAS), said it is not affected by its parent company's route rationalisation exercise as it caters to different market segments.

    Retail giant and household lifestyle brand Aeon Malaysia Bhd, which has 22 shopping centres and 27 stores in the country, plans to venture into five more states in the next five years. The retailer has yet to venture into Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Sabah and Sarawak. "Aeon Malaysia's latest outlet opened in Kulaijaya, Johor, which marks yet another significant presence in the southern region where we now have five establishments. We intend to open two to three outlets each year, and this year, we are eyeing Sungai Petani, which could mark our entry into Kedah," Aeon's Malaysia managing director Nur Qamarina Chew Abdullah said. The company has a steady yearly allocation of RM500m in capital expenditure and 2014 is no exception. "An outlet costs between RM50m and RM300m, while a shopping centre takes up to three years to build and will cost more," she said. (BT)

    The Sarawak Oil Palm Planters Owners' Association (SOPPOA) has urged the Federal and Sarawak state governments to look into whether the Signapore-based Wilmar had abused its dominant position as a leading agribusiness group. "There is a likelihood that Wilmar's policy may trigger other Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) member to adopt similar policies and further restrict market accessibility for Sarawak palm oil. Ultimately, this will drive prices of CPO from Sarawak down, with discount being the norm expected by international players," SOPPOA secretary Philip Ho said. (StarBiz)

    Press Metal Bhd is taking Etiqa Takaful Bhd to court over claims related to losses and damages suffered at Press Metal Sarawak Sdn Bhd’s (PMS) smelting plant last year. Press Metal said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia that its subsidiary PMS had “not reached an acceptable agreement” with its insurers on the claims arising from the incident at its plant in Mukah, Sarawak. The claimant, PMS, operates the Mukah smelting plant which is undergoing major reconstruction work after the plant’s production facilities suffered damage from a power outage that hit Sarawak on June 27.

    Press Metal’s filing did not reveal the amount of the claim but said that its claim against the Maybank-owned insurance firm Etiqa Takaful, the lead insurer, was in respect of all the losses and damages arising from the power outage incident at the Mukah plant and for “any other or further relief for PMS which the court deems just and fit.” (Starbiz)
