8. MARKET INTELLIGENCE The ringgit peg has once again become a HOT ISSUE as speculators bet that a decision to either repeg to reflect a fairer value or move to a more flexible regime has to be made soon. Reasons for the speculation :- Weakening of the US$ which has plunged to a 9 yr. low against the euro at US$l.30 and Y104 against the yen. China's decision to cut its benchmark one-year lending rate on Oct 30th. A devaluation of the yuan will have a negative impact on the region's exports if Asian economies do not adjust their exchange rates to that of China. China's currency currently pegged at 8.3 yuan to US$1 for past 10 years. Hwang-DBS thinks a revaluation of the ringgit will be positive for the economy: A weak ringgit penalises the domestic sector because an undervalued currency artificially raises import bills. A stronger ringgit is beneficial to the government's fiscal position - its debt burden, which is about 70% US-dollar denominated, will be immediately reduced. A stronger ringgit will help contain inflation. A shift to a more flexible currency regime is positive for the capital markets - it should be seen as part of a broader game plan for greater financial market liberalisation. Maintenance of the peg can be costly in view of inflows of hot money. In Malaysia Nor Mohamed has said early this year that a review would only be triggered if the ringgit moves 20% or more against regional currencies (base year l998) and even then, it would have to stay around those levels for a while before the govt. will review the peg. Malaysian retailers are expected to see a rise in holiday spending this year as improved consumer sentiment coincides with the festive shopping season. The Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) said in a recent publication - strong economic growth, the higher number of tourist arrivals (over 1 million per month), the stock market rebound and bonus payments for civil servants are the factors that will contribute to positive consumer sentiment in the last quarter of the year. January to June's growth was 10% and it is expected to close the year at 7.1%

8. Market Intelligence (con't) In the prestige cosmetics in department stores, the growth for 10 months has shown high double digit growth of +30% for C. Dior, Lancome, Biotherm, SK11, and Shu Uemura; + 20% for Shiseido and +10% for Estee Lauder, CLinique, Chanel, Clarins and Aramis. The Master Index of Retail forecast, by credit card giant MasterCard International, expects the Asia Pacific Region to continue its robust performance in retail sales growth in second half 2004. Markets are Australia, China, HongKong, Indonesia, Japan, S Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand:- YEAR ON YEAR GROWTH a) Singapore 19%(S$15billion)- registered highest growth 2nd half '04 b) China 12% ( 2.72 trillion renminbi) c) Taiwan 10.5% (NT$1,5555 billion) d) Thailand 9.8% (952.7 billion baht) e) 5 Hong Kong 9.5% (HK $93 billion) f) Malaysia 8.5% (RM30 billion) g) Philippines 7.0% h) New Zealand 6.8% i) Indonesia 4.3% j) Japan 3.9% k) Australia 2.8% l) Korea 2.4% From point of view of consumer spending and retail sales, the outlook is one of continuing strength in the region. Expectation of stronger income growth and better employment conditions clearly have more than compensated for higher interest rate expectations which is a good sign for retailers and the service sector. Outsourcing is the latest buzzword among corporations in Malaysia these days. Malaysia ranked an unexpected 3rd position globally - behind India and China in the latest Offshore Location Attractiveness Index 2004 by AT Kearney Offshore Index. The Index used 39 criteria in 3 major categories:-

8. Market Intelligence (con't) - cost, people skills and availability and business environment. Malaysia, with only a population of 25 million is unable to compete against these countries scale advantages - however our government's active role in promoting the information technology and service sectors

will keep us among the top favorite for outsourcing and shared services. Low infrastructure costs, the most attractive business climate among emerging markets, and competitive levels of global integration are reasons cited for Malaysia's spot in the index. Our PM mentioned shared services and outsourcing is now one of the largest sector in Malaysia's Multimedia Super Corridor, a hightech industrial zone, having investments of +RM1 billion by 49 companies and creating some 8,000 jobs. By 2010 they expect at least 100,000 new jobs. Outsourcing of processes, such as manufacturing and call centres to countries with a lower cost of operations, are a common trend among multinationals. The shared services business model is for common services like IT processes and marketing that are based in one country to leverage on economies of scale.

9. ANNUAL DINNER

The annual held on 17 September at Eastin Hotel was a success and the association made a surplus of RM5038. For members who have not paid for their annual dinner to do so before end of the year.

There being no other matters the meeting ended at 12.20pm.
