Malaysian Economic News…

Many Malaysian businesses are adopting a "wait-and-see" mindset in preparing themselves for the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on Apr 1, 2015. Crowe Horwath Malaysia Executive Director for Tax Fennie Lim said it was vital for businesses to find out where they stand because GST is not just a tax and financial issue. "It affects all parts of business operations starting from the IT system, procurement, sales and marketing, pricing setting department, supplier relationship, customer relationship to cash flow.” (Bernama)

The RM2.2bn gross development value Capital City project in bustling Tampoi will be an iconic venue for locals and foreigners in Iskandar Malaysia, say the developers. The development, undertaken by Hatten Group Sdn Bhd, Sunbuild Development Sdn Bhd and Gadang Holdings Bhd, is set for completion in early 2018. (Bernama)

The setting up of an Agrobazaar by Malaysia's Federal Agricultural and Marketing Authority (Fama) in Singapore will be mutually beneficial for both Malaysia and Singapore, said a Singapore minister. Fama plans to set up its first Agrobazaar in Singapore by Jun 2014 in a move to agressively promote Malaysian fruits and agro-based products. (Bernama)

Malaysia, which continued to spread its wings and presence especially in the international arena this year, is expected to flourish further come 2014. During the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, PM Najib presented and marketed Malaysia's success stories, which were mostly driven by the country's transformation programmes. Turning back to the regional front, Malaysia has been very committed in Asean's regional integration in 2015 with 88% of the measures already implemented. (Bernama)

Malaysia's energy consumption is expected to record moderate growth next year on the back of marginal population growth and moderate economic expansion, said the International Energy Agency (IEA).

IEA said Malaysia is the third largest energy consumer in Asean, with population increasing at an average annual rate of 1.2% and GDP growth at an average of 4% p.a. IEA said growth in Malaysia's energy demand would slow over time as growth in population and GDP moderates.

It said Malaysia's per capita energy consumption is currently relatively high for the region, at 61% of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development average.

The energy agency said Malaysia's gas production is expected to rise in the medium term to about 70bn cubic metres by 2020 with almost half of it to feed the export market.

"The prospects for continued exports remain strong in the medium term, with recent discoveries and new developments set to keep the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal operating at full capacity through at least until 2018," it said.

The agency said Malaysia's oil supply is projected to rise to 740,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the short term compared with 670,000 bpd recorded last year.

It said the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects and the ramp up in oil output from deepwater projects in offshore Sabah are expected to reverse Malaysia's falling output but will not be enough to stem declining oil output in the longer term.

It said with a proven oil reserves of four billion barrels as of last year, Malaysia is the second largest oil producer in Asean and a net exporter of oil, though rising demand has narrowed the gap, with exports falling to 70,000 bpd in 2012. (Bernama)

According to data from the US Department of Commerce for Jan-Oct 2013, total bilateral trade between the US and Malaysia increased by 3.9% to US$33.68bn, compared to US$32.41bn in the corresponding period of 2012. Total US imports from Malaysia continued to grow at 4.6%, reaching US$22.74bn (2012: US$21.73bn), while total US exports to Malaysia increased by 2.6% to US$9.8bn (2012: US$9.6bn) during the first 10 months of 2013.

Muhd Shahrulmiza Zakaria, the Malaysian trade commissioner in New York, said "According to the data compiled by us, I believe that two-way trade between the US and Malaysia in 2013 will rebound from the US$38.8bn level in 2012 to reach at least a similar level of 2011 (US$40bn). However, we expect US imports from Malaysia will continue to strengthen from US$26bn in 2012 to roughly US$27bn for the entire year 2013." (Bernama

Malaysia External Development Corp (Matrade) is looking for 100 to 150 of export ready small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) per year for the Going ERcport (GoEx) programme. This was part of the eight year programme that was aimed at inernationalising Malaysian SMEs and raising their export contribution from 19% in 2010 to 25% by 2020 as part of the SME Masterplan.

The first quarter of the year, traditionally a weaker quarter for the electronics industry, will be a mixed quarter as far as earnings are concerned, dependent on which segment of the industry a manufacturer is in. Analysts said certain segments of the electronics industry, such as the radio frequency (RF) chip and test-equipment manufacturers supporting tablets and smart phones, tend to do better, while others such as the LED test- equipment manufacturers, can expect a softer quarter after experiencing strong sales in the first half of 2013. Those involved in the tablet and smart phone value chain can expect to do better as there would be demand for new medium-priced devices lined up for release. (Starbiz)

Political News…

Some 70 members of the Selangor Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa), led by their president, Abu Bakar Yahya, staged a peaceful protest in front of the Shah Alam district police headquarters. The demonstration was held after the organisation lodged a police report against Catholic weekly Herald editor Rev Father Lawrence Andrew over the latter's statement in an article posted by the news portal, theamalaysianinsider.com, last Friday.

In the statement, Andrew said that the Catholic churches in Selangor would continue to use the word Allah in their weekend services in Bahasa Malaysia despite the State Islamic Religious Department's intention to send them reminders on an enactment prohibiting the use of the word by non-Muslims.

Lim Kit Siang claims that Perkasa is the 14th member of Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition following a startling revelation that the Malay rights group had received funding from Putrajaya during the 13th general election. The DAP supremo said the group possessed greater heft and influence than the other 13th component parties combined. This includes the MCA. “We must thank the Perkasa President (Datuk) Ibrahim Ali for his hubris at its annual general meeting a week ago getting much too big for his shoes for this expose of this top Umno/BN secret for the past four years,” said Kit Siang in a statement today. (The Malaysian Insider)

The Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry moved to head off more criticisms about price hikes by ticking off The Star newspaper, saying "such sensationalisation of news and eye-catching headlines should not be at the expense of misinformation that may create the wrong perspective". The Star reported Minister Datuk Seri Hasan Malek as saying on Friday that the ministry had not received any complaints and this meant there was support for the price hikes. But the online version of the news report has been now been edited and carries a new headline.

"In the report published on 27th of December 2013 titled 'No complaints proof that Malaysians support price hike', we the ministry and on behalf of the Minister find that this is very misleading," the ministry said in a Facebook posting. (The Malaysian Insider)

The Malaysian Oil and Gas Services Council (MOGSC) has described as baseless, accusations that Bumiputera companies are being neglected by Petronas. MOGSC president Sofiyan Yahya said such a perception, was also insulting, as it downplayed Bumiputera participation in one of the largest contributors to Malaysia's revenue. He said for those interested in venturing into the O&G industry, Petronas has also provided a platform called the "vendor development programme", which is specifically to help Bumiputera companies gain expertise in desired areas.

After the resignation of two former executive directors, Benalec expects to recruit professionals to fill in the gap that Datuk Leaw Tua Choon and Datuk Leaw Ah Chye left in the next six months. Group MD Datuk Vincent Leaw Seng Hai said: “We are still in the process of looking for the right candidates and prefer (the company) to be professionally run.”

To recap, the integrated marine construction solutions provider had filed civil suits against Ah Chye, Tua Choon and Tua Choon’s son Leaw Yongene for secretly profiting and breaching their duties as well as obligations regarding certain land sale contracts with third parties in Nov. Earlier this month, the company decided to drop the charges and had instead signed a head of agreement with them to settle all legal suits, disputes and claims by 4 Jan.

“We are in the process of the settlement and look to resolve everything in early next month,” Seng Hai said, declining to disclose further information citing the confidential nature of the process. (Star)

Ekovest looks to expand its landbank near infrastructure projects such as the Mass Rapid Transit in the Klang Valley and Iskandar Malaysia in Johor, its MD Lim Keng Cheng said, as it awaits the government's final say on a toll hike.

On expanding its landbank, Lim told reporters that its focus on land around planned infrastructure is to benefit from the potential price upside it will see once the government puts up the facilities. (Sun)

The board of apparel manufacturer Hytex Integrated Bhd is laying all options on the table for the restructuring of the financially troubled company, which was placed under Practice Note 17 status in June after auditors cast doubts over its ability to continue as a going concern. It was also placed under Practice Note 1 in August 2011 after defaulting in payments of interest in respect of loan stocks.

The company’s executive director Tan Joon Wei told reporters following a shareholders meeting where armed guards were seen that among the options being considered were joint ventures and reviving its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) business. Another option would be to dispose off inventory, which stood at RM69.7m as of the second quarter ended Sept 30, to raise cash. (StarBiz)

UEM Group, which owns a 51% stake in toll concessionaire PLUS Malaysia Bhd, has submitted a plan to the government to build a new 45km highway connecting Senawang and the KL International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang, offering road users coming from the south a direct link to the airport that bypassed the often congested stretch between Seremban and Nilai on the North-South Expressway (NSE).

The proposal also includes the construction of a 6km direct link from the Paroi exit on the Kajang-Seremban Expressway (LEKAS) to the Senawang interchange. This section of the proposed new highway would be toll-free, sources said.

Construction cost for the Paroi-Senawang-KLIA-Salak Tinggi (SKLIA) highway was estimated at RM2.2bn, excluding land acquisitions that could add another RM500m to the bill. (StarBiz)

Gadang Holdings Bhd is looking at buying land along the Danga Bay waterfront area after missing the opportunity to do so a couple of years back when land prices in the area were much cheaper. Managing director and chief executive officer Tan Sri Kok Onn believes that property prices in Johor, especially in Iskandar Malaysia, will continue to appreciate on strong demand from foreign investors. “You can miss the boat once, but you should not miss it for the second time," Kok said.

Kok said that Gadang had missed the opportunity to acquire land in the sea-fronting area of Danga Bay years ago when prices were about RM150 per sq ft. He said now the average selling price for land in Danga Bay was RM1,000 per sq ft. (StarBiz)

"We have made a technology which was otherwise accessible at a price of RM20m, into a box that you can get for around RM20,000. That makes a massive difference in this whole process," Tiang said. (Financial Daily)

Malaysia's oil and gas (O&G) industry will remain competitive with the country being a major regional player with a bullish outlook, says the Malaysian Oil and Gas Services Council. Its President, Sofiyan Yahya said Malaysia's positive track record, led by Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), had boosted confidence among regional market players in doing business with the country's own participants.

"The current favourable environment, with better oil prices and continuous government support, will also boost prospects for the industry. The prospects are bullish for at least the next five years. Now is also the time for foreign companies, who intend to develop and grow their businesses over the long term, to come in and participate in Malaysia's O&G industry," he said. (Bernama)

Bursa Malaysia Bhd will be shortening the timeframe for issuance of annual reports under the listing requirements to within four months of the company's financial year-end.

Malaysia's construction industry is expected to be busy next year, driven by both private and government projects, particularly the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP). Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB Malaysia) Chief Executive, Datuk Seri Judin Abdul Karim, said the construction industry was expected to secure a total of RM115bn worth projects in 2014.

Last year, the total projects secured were worth RM120bn, which surpassed the expected RM95bn, Judin said. "The construction industry did very well this year to grow by 18% compared with last year despite the gloomy global economy," he said. "We expect the bulk of next year's projects to come from non-residential construction projects.

For the first nine months of this year, the construction industry recorded a total of 4,253 projects worth RM66.8bn, of which 76% were private sector projects, he said.

He said as at Sep 30, 2013, the non-residential category, commercial building, industrial and office space topped the list with 1,563 projects worth RM28.8bn. (Bernama)
