Construction - Tracking Budget expectations

Our checks with several contractors on their expectations for the Budget 2015 announcement next month suggest that government spending on key infrastructure segments like rural roads, water, environment and government facilities should continue to be the key features. We also expect more clarity on outstanding highway projects. An increase in the total value of government-funded jobs in the pipeline vs. 2014's RM8.8bn compiled figure is likely, which could be relevant to smaller cap contractors.

The US central bank needs to change the way it communicates its view on the future path of interest rates, St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard said.

He also said the central bank may need to drop its pledge next month to keep interest rates low as so-called quantitative easing is brought to a close. (Reuters, Bloomberg)

European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Ignazio Visco said the euro area economy may return to pre-crisis levels late next year, but the impact on higher unemployment and lower investment is likely to last beyond the current cycle.

China’s HSBC preliminary manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) hit a two-month high of 50.5 in Sep (50.2 in Aug). (AFP)

Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas has urged timber industry players to comply with all market requirements to ensure continued export and market opportunities. He said the ministry on the other hand would continue to intensify efforts to address concerns on legally harvested timber and timber products.

Currently, he said there are many issues and challenges faced by the timber sector, including legality of timber products, rising production costs, uncertainties in supply of raw materials and labour-related issues. The industry needs to be resourceful in exploring new products such as Glulam or glued laminated timber, bio-composite products and utilisation of oil palm-based material as these are alternative products.

Kedah Science, Innovative, Information Technology, Communication and High Technology Committee chairman, Norsabrina Mohd Noor, said it was the right time for the hi-tech park, an integrated high-tech area, to have an automotive industry.

Constant connectivity and digital media have enabled Malaysia to leap-frog to be one of the most socially engaged markets in the world, according to findings from TNS, a global market research and information company.

The findings from the TNS' Connected Life study released posited that over three fifths or 62% of internet users in Malaysia accessed social media networks daily compared with 42% globally.

It said 52% of Malaysian internet users used instant messaging everyday, 35% reached for their mobile phones even before they got out of bed, and 34% used their phone in bed before they went to sleep.

Although the Islamic banking share of Malaysia's banking sector has grown from 6% in 2000 to 25% this year, the industry needs to take more meaningful steps to benefit the poor, says an academic.

"The issue now is people are saying Islamic banking is costly and does not really help low-income groups, and what has not been stressed is how the poor can get Islamic banking products," Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) Economics and Muamalat Faculty Dean Assoc. Prof. Dr. Amir Shaharuddin said.

He said many wakaf funds and parcels of wakaf land in Malaysia are not effectively managed, and the full potential of wakaf assets has yet to be realised.

The financial services industry needs to formulate conducive policies for Intellectual Property (IP) to be accepted as a security instrument, Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Hasan Malek said. He said this would facilitate IP-based business and transactions, apart from spurring the development of an innovative ecosystem.

"Malaysia's transformational agenda with the view of becoming a high-income nation by 2020 has included intellectual property as a crucial area to be further strengthened and promoted. "Notably, the rise in value of intellectual capital and intangible assets are among the factors that move IP from the sideline to the centre (stage) of the economy," he said. Hasan said the industries must be aware that other countries were also leveraging on IP monetisation and IP as a form of security. (Bernama)

The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade) is focusing on promoting high-value Malaysian products in international markets, says its chairman Datuk Noraini Ahmad.

Noraini said besides running coaching programmes for Bumiputera, women and youth entrepreneurs, Matrade also has several new initiatives to develop the export competency of Malaysian exporters.

She cited the Go-Ex programme, which aims to assist 1,400 companies become export-ready in five years, and the Mid-Tier Companies Development Programme, which targets to develop and nurture 50 high-potential mid-tier companies each year until 2020.

Meanwhile, its e-Trade programme, an initiative under Digital Malaysia to accelerate exports by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through the e-commerce platform and enhance their global presence, targets 2,625 SMEs this year, she said. (Bernama)

"We are not only talking about the construction industry, but we are talking about the ministry. "For example, Public Works Department, we are the management agency of all government projects. We want to train our own people to make sure our people are all certified, qualified and competent," he said. (Bernama)

It has only been over a month since Malaysia introduced the new toll rates and businesses are starting to feel the pinch. Malaysian Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) association chairman Teh Kee Sin said there had been complaints from members that they had suffered a 20% to 30% drop in business, mainly in the logistics, advertising, entertainment, retail sectors and those involved in the hairstyling business.

“The full extent of the situation will be known after Singapore also increases its toll rates beginning Oct 1,” he said, adding that this would have a snowball effect on all businesses in Johor. He added that the SMEs were appealing to leaders in Singapore and Malaysia to sit down and resolve this issue.

“The impact is already being felt. I used to charter private cars to and from Changi airport, which cost me RM200. Now the price has doubled,” Teh told reporters at a press conference here yesterday. (The Star)

Malaysia and Bangladesh signed a government-to-government Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) and Powertek Bhd to implement a RM6bn power plant project.

The MoU paves the way for the TNB-Powertek consortium to finance and build a 1,320-megawatt coal-fired power plant in Maheshkhali, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh with the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB).

The MoU was valid for two years unless extended by mutual agreement or when the parties sign a definitive joint venture (JV) agreement/shareholder agreement in relation to the project development.

The parties will jointly conduct a project feasibility study and come up with proper project development programme. If the parties decided to go ahead with the project, after the completion of feasibility study, they will form a JV company and conduct international tender to appoint the engineering procurement and commission (EPC) contractor for the project.

The TNB-Powertek consortium would provide the technical leadership and coordinate the feasibility study of the project whereas BPDB would provide the land for the project.

The project would be developed on a non-recourse financing basis and the JV company would sign a long-term power purchasing agreement with BPDB as the sole off-taker of power from the project, said the minister.

Major global investors from Qatar and Abu Dhabi are said to be considering pulling billions of ringgit out of two of 1MDB's mega projects, namely the Tun Razak Exchange and Bandar Malaysia, due to the lack of transparency and slow progress.

Water tariff in Johor is expected to go up by between 10%-12% in the next few months due to the high cost of treatment. The increase, said state Public Works, Rural and Regional Development Committee chairman Datuk Hasni Mohammad, was unavoidable, adding that this would take place either at the end of the year or early next year.

“We received a proposal from the National Water Services Commission for a 22% increase about a year ago. However, we put this on hold as we were looking at ways on how we could deal with this situation without burdening the consumers, especially with the rising costs of living," he said. Since the last water tariff increase in 2010, Hasni said the rate for electricity had gone up twice.

At present, domestic users in Johor pay 60 sen for the first 20 cubic metres of water, RM1.65 for between 20 and 35 cubic metres of water and RM2.96 for over 35 cubic metres of water. (Star)

The demand, which has dropped by more than 30% so far this year, is expected to improve from Nov. Chan said the slowdown was due to the Government’s cooling measures and the stringent steps taken by banks and financial institutions. “About 30% to 40% of buyers failed to get loans early this year. This has now increased to between 50% and 70%,” he said. (Star)

Petronas will roll out its entire enhanced oil recovery (EOR) programme in phases over the next decade to revive flagging production from mature and depleting oil wells, said a director of the national oil company.

The company expected to spend some RM1.1bn in research and development for EOR over the next three to four years, as a substantial number of the current producing oilfields have EOR potential, Datuk Mohamad Idris Mansor told delegates in his speech at the opening of the Malaysia Oil & Gas Services Exhibition and Conference 2014.

More than 10 projects were at various stages of development currently, with the first application of EOR technology now ongoing at the Tapis oilfield, offshore Terengganu.

The large-scale EOR project, developed at a cost of about RM10bn, could boost oil production from Tapis by up to 35,000 barrels per day (bpd) from the present 3,000 to 4,000 bpd, and was targeted to increase the economic value of the field as well as extend its life by more than 25 years, he added.

Scomi Engineering Bhd expects its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services to provide a steady source of recurring income to further boost development in the upstream segment. CEO, Kanesan Veluppillai, said the MRO services would generate a sustainable and stable income for the monorail system provider. However, he said, it was too early to determine the contribution from the activities. "We are still at the infant stage (to project the contribution). We have secured a 30-year maintenance services for Brazilian Line 18 project as well as for 40 busses with Melaka state government," he told. (StarBiz)

TMC Life Sciences Bhd, which was among the most-actively traded counters yesterday, said it was unaware of a corporate exercise involving the injection of substantial shareholder Peter Lim Eng Hock's healthcare services assets into TMC. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, TMC said it did not receive any notification of its major shareholder's plan to park both hospital assets, Tropicana Medical Centre in Petaling Jaya and Thomson Medical Centre in Singapore under TMC.

Trading in Scientex Bhd shares will be suspended today pending a material announcement, the company said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday. The announcement is expected to be related to an earlier filing made with Bursa on Aug 8 regarding a strategic alliance agreement signed with Japan-based plastic film manufacturer Futamuara Chemical Co Ltd, according to executives familiar with the company.

Aviation company APFT Bhd and Lufthansa Technical Training (LTT) have teamed up to start an aircraft maintenance training school in Malaysia from January 2015. APFT executive chairman Datuk Faruk Othman said the school aimed to train at least 400 students over a five-year period. Faruk said LTT was also looking for an opportunity in Malaysia to set up its MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) services.

“Lufthansa already has an MRO hub in the Philippines and is now looking for its second and third hubs in Asia, and Malaysia is one of the markets it is looking at. We believe that this agreement with LTT will benefit not only the students but the aviation industry in the region as well,” he told. (StarBiz)

The procurement process for the new air traffic control (ATC) management centre to be located at KLIA in Sepang will be open for bidding in 4Q14, Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia (DCA) DG Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said. He said the procurement proposal for the ATC centre, expected to amount to about RM700m as announced in Budget 2014, is in the final stage of evaluation and will comply with all guidelines set by the government. The said the new ATC management system bidding process, which was previously slated for early this year, had to be rescheduled due to the twin-tragedy of flights MH370 and MH17. (Malaysian Reserve)

Century Logistics Holdings Bhd does not expect a planned collaboration with Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGV) to take off despite earlier news that the plantation giant may be buying a big stake in the logistics company, said Century Logistics managing director Steven Teow Choo Hing. "We don't envisage it (collaboration with FGV) happening. We want the story to end. We don't want to give wrong fillers to the market and people are hoping it might happen. For the present moment I'm optimistic that nothing concrete will happen. It's off," Teow said. (Sun)

Fitters Diversified Bhd has fixed the issue price of its placement shares at RM1.23 each and exercise price for its warrants at RM1 apiece. This represents a respective discount of approximately 8.21% to the five-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Fitters shares, up to and including Sept 22 of RM1.34 per share. The warrant exercise price represents premium of approximately 3.09% to the theoretical ex-all price of Fitters shares of RM0.97. In July, Fitters proposed to undertake a corporate exercise including a bonus and warrant issue, and a placement exercise of up to 10% of its shares to third-party investors. (StarBiz)

Protasco Bhd has launched a legal suit against Indonesian-based PT Anglo Slavic Utama (PT ASU) and two of its directors, Tey Por Yee and Ooi Kock Aun, at the Kuala Lumpur High Court. Protasco is claiming for a refund of the purchase price paid under the restated sale and purchase agreement (SPA) dated 28 Jan from PT ASU and damages arising from the breach of contract. It added that the company would make an impairment on the purchase price if necessary, in consultation with its auditors. Protasco had entered into an SPA with PT ASU in late-2012 to acquire 76% of PT Anglo Slavic Indonesia (PT ASI) for US$55m (RM181.3m). However, after due diligence, the terms of the SPA were revised. Subsequently, on Jan 29, Protasco entered into an amended SPA with PT ASU for the acquisition of a 63% stake in PT ASI for US$22m. This came with a profit guarantee of US$22m, or RM72m, spread over four years. The proposed deal lapsed as conditions of the restated SPA were not fulfilled by the vendor. (StarBiz)

ProEight Sdn Bhd (ProEight), a local mechanical engineering company, expects to generate over RM1bn in revenue by 2018 from the oil and gas sector through its cutting-edge mechanical seals technology, 'The Flexical'. Its managing director, Azhar Zainal Abidin said the company is optimistic of obtaining 10% of the global market share in mechanical seals worth RM25bn. "The market is dominated by two Western manufacturers," he said. The MoU sees ProEight and GPower forming a new company to operate a manufacturing premise in Buenos Aires at a ratio of 70:30, involving an investment of US$20m (RM64m) within three years. (Bernama)
