Construction - Big jobs will come later

The underperformance in 4QCY12’s reporting period was merely a blip, as contractors’ fundamentals are still supported by major jobs in the pipeline. We remain encouraged by the slew of jobs awarded YTD but reserve our optimism on other major projects pending approvals. The wild card remains the elections. Given the timing of the general election and the fact that most major projects are still in the early stages, we continue to believe that the revival of sector catalysts would only come in 2H13. In view of this, we maintain Neutral on the construction sector. We will review our sector call after the polls. Our top picks remain WCT and Mudajaya.

Sime Darby Bhd - Joining hands with Ramsay

We are generally positive on Sime’s JV with Ramsay. The deal will allow Sime to unlock value via the recognition of a RM340m (+9.6% to FY13 net profit) gain, and leverage on Ramsay’s expertise to raise the efficiency as well as grow the merged healthcare business regionally. We also view the valuation for Sime’s healthcare assets as fair. The deal is not expected to impact Sime’s future earnings as this division makes up less than 1% of group earnings. We make no changes to forecasts and our SOP-based target price pending completion of the deal. We maintain our Neutral rating for its unexciting near-term earnings prospects.

Alpha Edge - China cuts loose?

Shanghai Composite Index’s pullback may have ended last week after it pushed past its channel support trendline. South Korea’s Kospi is still holding just above its long-term support trendline at 1,950-1,970pts. These support trendlines must not break. The weekly chart for Thailand’s SET shows two support trendlines at 1,490 and 1,405pts. The index tested the first support a few days ago before rebounding.

China will cut the retail prices of gasoline by Rmb 310 (US$49.43) per tonne and diesel by Rmb300 per tonne, lowering the retail prices. (Bloomberg, Xinhua)

Fitch Ratings said it had put Cyprus' credit rating on watch for a possible downgrade as the restructuring of its banking system would hurt the economy and public finances despite an EU-IMF bailout.

Fitch had also downgraded the two biggest Cypriot banks to default category and placed the third biggest on negative watch following the announcement of a financial rescue plan for the eurozone country. (AFP)

Cyprus's Finance Minister Michael Sarris said that capital controls to prevent big outflows of cash from the island would probably last for "a matter of weeks," adding that big depositors in Cypriot banks could lose about 40% of their deposits as part of a €10bn international rescue plan.

Malaysia is optimistic its bilateral trade with India will hit US$15bn this year (US$13.3bn in 2012), given the strong economic growth posted by the two countries. International Trade and Industry Ministry secretary-general Datuk Dr Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria said Malaysia and India were working intensively to bolster bilateral trade and services.

Malaysia is dominating global sales of sukuk in 2013 and Standard & Poor’s forecasts the trend will continue this year even as national elections loom. Issuance in the Southeast Asian currency may account for more than 74% of worldwide offerings, compared with 49% in 2008, Rajiv Vishwanathan, associate director for corporate and infrastructure ratings at S&P in Singapore, said.

Global sales of Shariah-compliant notes, including government securities, may exceed US$100bn in 2013 after rising 64% to US$138bn last year, he said.

There's a strong investor base in banks, Islamic insurers and funds in Malaysia and it is something that issuers will obviously like to tap into, he noted.

In the immediate future, the Malaysian ringgit will remain as the currency of choice for sukuk issuers, he added. (BT)

Political News…

Voters are getting more enthusiastic over Election 2013 compared to the last general election as Bersih 2.0 aims for an 85% voter turnout to mitigate electoral fraud. Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, co-chairman of the electoral reform group, told The Malaysian Insider that Bersih’s “Jom 100” campaign has seen greater awareness about the upcoming national polls among people of all races and ages in both urban and rural areas.

“There’s a lot of enthusiasm on the ground... people are getting more aware about their voting rights. I also ask the question, did you vote in 2008? They say no. Are you gonna vote this time? And they say yes,” added the former Bar Council president.

Election 2013, which will be held in weeks, is expected to be the most keenly contested election in recent times, with analysts saying that the outcome is in doubt for the first time in Malaysian history after the historic 2008 general election that saw Barisan Nasional (BN) lose its two-thirds parliamentary majority.There are 13.3m registered voters, or 83% out of 16m eligible voters, according to the Election Commission (EC).

In Election 2008, 76% out of 10.7m registered voters turned up to vote, amounting to about 8.16m voters. (Malaysianinsider)

Local-based Sabah opposition parties have threatened to withhold their support for Pakatan Rakyat following its plan to go it alone in the state. State ReformParty Sabah chapter chairman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said the announcement by Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that Pakatan would not work with Sabah-based opposition parties was insulting.

Pakatan Rakyat state government should dissolve their state assemblies at the same time as Parliament, said DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang. He pointed out that among the four states run by the Opposition, the Selangor state assembly would automatically dissolve on Apr 20 and Kelantan six days later. Lim added that it was better to dissolve the state assemblies at the same time as Parliament so that state elections could run concurrently with the general election. "This is out of respect to the Barisan Nasional Government and PM Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak". Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said its state

Should Parliament not be dissolved by midnight today, Negri Sembilan will make history as the first state legislative assembly to enter automatic dissolution. It will also be the first to be administered by a caretaker government headed by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hassan. The caretaker government, however, would be limited in its authority. Negri Sembilan Election Commission director Afizam Abullah Sani said "The government will no longer have the legislative power to approve budgets, implement new policies or make fresh appointments of staff as it is not a government mandated by the people." The caretaker government will only run for a maximum period of 60 days after an automatic dissolution. (NST)

Sime Darby's 75%-owned subsidiary, Port Dickson Power Bhd (PDP) has started arbitration proceedings against Tenaga Nasional. It said on Tuesday that PDP, which owns a power plant comprising of two 110-megawatt gas-fired generating units, was seeking to recover outstanding capacity and energy payments. Sime Darby said this recovery was due to the adjustment of the fixed operating rate and variable operating rate from February 1999 to November 2011. Under the power purchase agreement dated Dec 10, 1993, TNB was to purchase from PDP the generating capacity and power generated by PDP's plant. (StarBiz)

Malaysia is ahead of China in terms of the size of its direct foreign investment (FDI) into Africa and the gap is widening, according to United Nations data published recently. A survey of foreign investment into and out of the five BRICS countries, published on the eve of their summit in South Africa and while new Chinese President Xi Jinping visits the continent, revealed that China's march into Africa has lagged behind the flow of cash from Kuala Lumpur. FDI, which includes crossborder M&As and investments in start-up projects abroad, can give clues about economic confidence and future trade flows. For Malaysia, the big spenders in Africa include firms such as Petronas and Sime Darby. (Reuters)

Malaysian palm oil futures edged lower on Tuesday in rangebound trading amid concerns over lower export demand, while worries about the potential impact of a Cyprus bailout scheme also dented investor appetite for riskier assets. While Cyprus’s deal with international lenders to shut down the country’s second largest bank in return for 10 bn euros in rescue funds removed the immediate risk of a financial meltdown, it also stoked fears of similar tough conditions for future bank rescues in the euro zone. Palm oil came under more pressure as Malaysian exports fell by 7.5% for 1 to 25 Mar compared to a month ago due to a slowdown in crude palm oil shipments. (BT)

A substantial shareholder in Scomi Group, Datuk Philip Siew, has given the present management a reasonable time to show results before deciding on his next move, following the recent shuffle in the shareholding of the company. Siew had thought that the oil & gas and engineering company should stay focused on oil & gas to stay profitable. Siew did not mention the time period he is giving Scomi but a source said both Siew and another substantial shareholder Tan Sri Abu Sahid are giving it a year to improve the bottomline of the company after which "they will decide on the next course of action". Abu Sahid and Siew collectively own about 14.36% of Scomi. (Malaysian Reserve)

IJM Corp executive deputy chairman Tan Sri Krishnan Tan described the company's interest in Scomi as based on strategic positioning, and not a stock market play. "We believe in the company... I don't buy companies to play the stock market. "We buy because the company can bring in growth and returns and this will be an industry which will flourish in a while, so we are buying a company with the technology in monorail and drilling fluids and petroleum waste management business. It is a strategic positioning," he said. Both IJM and Scomi have done well in the Indian sub-continent and going in together for new jobs would further enhance their capabilities in the international infrastructure scene. (BT)

With Malaysia developing into an energy efficient vehicle (EEV) hub by 2020, the automotive industry will become a pull factor for foreign players to invest in Malaysia, said Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI) CEO Madani Sahari. He said by 2015, Asean would already be on the verge of establishing its EEV market, while by 2020 Malaysia would become a regional hub for EEV with high technology uptake among industry players which would serve the domestic, regional and international markets. According to Madani, Perodua's new manufacturing plant in Rawang, which is expected to be operational by the middle of 2014, would help spur the development of Malaysia as a technology hub for the automotive industry. Perodua's RM790m state-of-the-art manufacturing plant will have an estimated production capacity of 100,000 vehicles per annum. "Perodua is already investing in EEV, Honda Motor is expanding into building an EEV factory and Mazda Motor Corp is coming to Malaysia for EEV," he said. (Financial Daily)

The National Energy Efficiency Master Plan that will strategise the country's efforts in addressing energy security, global warming and climate change issues is expected to be rolled out by June 2013 said Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry secretary general Datuk Loo Took Gee. She said, "We have to rationalise our energy subsidies so that we can use energy efficiently and we need to price our energy more correctly. If we don't price it well, it would be very difficult for us to embark on energy efficient campaigns. We have to educate the public about energy saving in the country." (Sun Biz)

The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) sold 1.494m MISC Bhd shares, just weeks after its outgoing CEO, Tan Sri Azlan Zainol, said Petronas should raise its buyout price for the national shipping company. Based on the Malaysian Code on Takeovers and Mergers 2010, the offer price of RM5.30 was "not fair", as the indicative SOPV of the MISC Group was above the offer price.

The buyout, if successful, will remove the close to RM20bn company in market capitalisation from Bursa Malaysia, making it one of the largest privatisation deals in recent times. (BT)

Robert Kuok, Malaysia's richest man according to Forbes, has increased his equity stake in locally listed Shangri-La Hotels, according to stock exchange filings late on Monday.
