KUALA LUMPUR: Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) said yes-terday that Yayasan Pelaburan Bumiputra (YPB) has appointed Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyid-din Yassin as its chairman.

PNB, which is YPB’s invest-ment subsidiary, said in a state-ment that Finance Minister Teng-ku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz has been appointed as YPB deputy chairman. Muhy-iddin and Zafrul’s appointments to YPB’s board of trustees, which comprises four members, took eff ect from April 14.

Dear Readers,ON April 2, 2007 a US real

estate investment trust that spe-cialised in subprime mortgage, New Century Financial Corp, fi led for bankruptcy — an event that was little noticed around the world.

A month later on May 22, Th e Edge Media Group, which by then had established itself as publish-er of Th e Edge weekly, launched Th e Edge Financial Daily (FD).

Two weeks later on June 7,

US investment bank Bear Stearns stopped redemption from two of its mortgage-linked funds and this was followed by French banking giant BNP Paribas — triggering a fi nancial meltdown in the US and Europe.

We had embarked on an am-bitious project just as the global fi nancial crisis of 2007-2009 was breaking out!

But we survived and published continuously since — except when FD and Th e Edge weekly were sus-

pended in July, 2015 by the home ministry over our reporting of 1Ma-laysia Development Bhd. We also survived our entanglement with the then government.

Sadly, FD is unable to survive the double onslaught of the shift to digital news and the current lock-down of the economy because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Th is will, therefore, be the last issue of FD. But it will not be the last stories our journalists will write for you.

PARIS: Airbus has put six jets made for one of its largest customers up for sale after giving up on AirAsia taking delivery of them, sources fa-miliar with the matter told Reuters.

Th e unusual move is a sign of the deepening crisis in the aviation industry caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which some analysts warn could lead to a fi re-sale of unwanted planes.

Like other airlines looking to save cash amid lockdowns and trav-el bans that have crippled their business, AirAsia has said it does not need any more aircraft this year.

Manufacturers usually insist an airline takes delivery of jets that have been built, while showing fl exibility on delivery dates of planes yet to be

Airbus puts six jets made for AirAsia up for sale as crisis deepensTh e planemaker has invited bids — sources

produced, especially for top clients.Although “pop-up” sales of un-

wanted aircraft are not new, they rarely involve high-profi le custom-ers and typically include the man-ufacturer keeping the deposit, the sources said. Airbus declined to comment on whether it had done so this time.

“It is a harsh step to take,” said one source, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

An Airbus spokesman said: “We do not disclose or comment on de-livery schedules for any customers”.

A spokesman for AirAsia, Asia’s biggest low-cost carrier, declined to comment.

Airbus has invited bids for four A320neo and two A321neo jets built for AirAsia, according to the sources

and a confi dential document seen by Reuters.

Buyers can fetch the jets from France or Germany in June, com-plete with optional onboard equip-ment ordered by AirAsia.

AirAsia co-founder Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said this month the group had no revenue and 96% of its fl eet was grounded. He added that “AirAsia is strong and remains fi rmly focused on the future”.

A senior Malaysian minister told Reuters last Friday that merging AirAsia with loss-making state Ma-laysia Airlines Bhd was one of the options to “save” them.

Airbus said this month it faced many calls from airlines to defer air-craft deliveries, but had not received cancellations directly as a result of the coronavirus epidemic. — Reuters

SINGAPORE: Grab Holdings Inc chief executive offi cer (CEO) An-thony Tan warned that Covid-19 is creating signifi cant challenges for the Southeast Asian ride-hail-ing start-up that will require “tough decisions” about cutting costs and managing capital.

“Covid-19 is the single biggest crisis to aff ect Grab in the eight years of our existence,” Tan said in a message to investors and partners yesterday.

Th e Singapore-based compa-ny is the most valuable start-up in Southeast Asia as it has expand-ed beyond ride-hailing into food delivery and other services. In February, Grab raised more than US$850 million (RM3.72 billion) to fund its push into financial services in the region.

But demand for ride-hailing services has collapsed as many cities across Southeast Asia are in lockdowns. Grab has been try-ing to off set some of that short-fall with food delivery, which is experiencing a surge in de-mand as people stay at home. — Bloomberg

Grab CEO says virus is ‘biggest crisis’ in company’s history

strives to become a distinctive world class investment house and continues to generate sus-tainable returns for its 14 million unitholders.

“The boards also thank the previous chairman of YPB, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and pre-vious alternate chairman, Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, for their guidance and contributions during their tenure,” PNB said.

According to the statement, PNB is one of the largest fund management companies in Ma-laysia with assets under manage-ment exceeding RM300 billion. PNB’s portfolio covers strategic investments in Malaysia’s lead-ing corporates, global equities, private investments and real es-tate, it said.

Containers cleared at portsTh ird-party warehouses are reaching their capacity due to the lockdown


BY A H M A D N A Q I B I D R I S

BY A H M A D N A Q I B I D R I S

KUALA LUMPUR: Containers stuck at the nation’s ports are being cleared, easing the congestion caused by the implementation of the movement control order (MCO) to halt the spread of Covid-19. However, both raw materials and fi nished goods are now piling up in warehouses as some companies face diffi cult export conditions and are not manufactur-ing goods during the MCO period.

Federation of Malaysian Freight Forwarders (FMFF) president Alvin Chua said freight forwarders — whose services have been deemed as essential services during the MCO — have been moving cargo for busi-nesses that have received the green light to do so from the ministry of in-ternational trade and industry (Miti).

However, the goods that once occupied these containers are now fi lling up third-party warehouses in the country, which are already seeing a greater volume of fi nished goods entering their doors as companies, especially those in the manufacturing industry, are unable to export their goods due to lockdowns abroad.

Chua highlighted that while the number of containers stuck at Port Klang had gone down, they are not at pre-MCO levels. He explained that because of the MCO initially not al-lowing the transport of non-essential goods, as much as 70% of the port’s import container storage capacity was taken up by containers. How-ever, since the government has now allowed for the clearance of contain-ers from ports, this has come down to 50% to 60% of Port Klang’s import container storage capacity.

As it stands, there are 50,000 twen-ty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) still stuck at the port. Th e bulk of these containers contain materials for the

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e Malaysian Investment Development Author-ity (Mida) said total approved in-vestments for the manufacturing, services and primary sectors rose 1.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) in 2019 to RM207.9 billion.

Of that, RM125.5 billion or 60.4% of the total was contributed by do-mestic direct investment (DDI), while foreign direct investment (FDI) accounted for 39.6% of the total at RM82.4 billion, an increase of 2.9% from 2018.

Th e services sector, which saw an 11.3% increase in investments y-o-y, accounted for the biggest portion of investments at RM118.1 billion, or 56.8% of total approved investments.

Th e US (RM26.8 billion), China (RM15.7 billion) and Japan (RM12.1 billion) accounted for 66.3% of the total FDI approved for the three sectors.

construction and automotive in-dustries. Th is translates into around 50% of Port Klang’s import storage capacity, a far cry from the 20,000 TEUs typically left in storage prior to the MCO.

“Before the MCO, we were clear-ing about 10,000 TEUs a day, and now we are clearing about 5,000 to 6,000 units a day,” said Chua.

He noted that while these goods will be delivered to their fi nal desti-nations, it is unlikely that all of the goods locked in these containers would be delivered until after the MCO is slated to end next week on April 28 — as it would take fi ve days for such businesses to get the approv-al from Miti to operate and bring the materials in.

Chua explained that the reason for third-party warehouses reaching their capacity is that many business-es — especially those in the non-es-sential sectors — do not have the approval from Miti to operate during the MCO.

In the case of businesses involved in the manufacturing sector, many businesses do not have the appro-priate approvals to manufacture.

Th is means that the raw materials end up being stuck in warehouses.

For those that have the approval or have already manufactured fi n-ished products, the lower demand for goods abroad following lockdowns to halt the spread of the virus has also mitigated demand for Malay-sian exports.

As a result, warehouses are now seeing a greater infl ux of raw mate-rials destined for further processing and fi nished goods that were des-tined for export.

“Having the approval letter from Miti to transport the goods does not necessarily mean that you can start manufacturing in full again. Th is is as the approval is for certain manufac-turing activities and not all industries are covered,” said Chua.

According to Miti’s expanded list of essential services during the third phase of the MCO, the only activities permitted under the auto industry are the export of completely built-up vehicles, parts and components as well as aftersales services such as repair and maintenance.

For the construction industry, only a select number of activities

(pending approval) may be undertak-en. For example, tunnelling, mainte-nance and sloping works are allowed.

Chua also noted that logistics and transport players (including freight forwarders) are required to apply for the approval to operate by Miti. Of the 1,300 members under the FMFF, some 5% or 65 of its members have received the nod from the ministry.

He also noted that the ministry of transport had been working with Miti to speed up the approval process — which typically takes fi ve days — for the entire transport and logistics sec-tor — with the FMFF submitting its member list for to the two ministries.

More, however, needs to be done to ensure that there is better com-munication between the diff erent government agencies when it comes to the necessary documentation.

In particular, the on-ground per-sonnel police should be given con-stant updates ovn which approval certifi cates are needed.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said last Friday that the fourth phase of the port clearing exercise would take place starting yesterday until Th ursday to ensure the smooth capacity of Malaysia’s ports and space capacity are at an optimum level.

Th e fourth phase of the cargo re-lease is vital to ensure uninterrupted supply of necessities to the public during the third phase of the MCO.

Standard operating procedures that have been earlier communicat-ed to port operators in Port Klang, Johor, Penang, Kuantan, Melaka, Bintulu, and Padang Besar have also been circulated among state govern-ment-owned ports.

Th e previous port clearing exer-cises were carried out on March 27 to March 29, April 4 to April 7 and April 13 to 15.

KUALA LUMPUR: A joint ven-ture (JV) between Gamuda Bhd and BMD Constructions Pty Ltd (Gamuda-BMD JV) has been in-vited to tender for a motorway connecting to the south of Syd-ney, Australia, costing about A$2.6 billion (RM7.27 billion).

A statement issued by the New South Wales (NSW) state govern-ment said successful applicants from last year’s expression of in-terest to design and construct the M6 Stage 1 project will be invited to tender for it.

Th e applicants include Gamu-da-BMD JV, Acciona-Samsung JV and CPB-Ghella JV.

NSW’s Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance said the project, which will allow motorists to bypass up to 23 sets of traffic lights on the Princes Highway and take up to 2,000 heavy vehicles off surface roads per day, will create around 5,300 jobs.

“We know many workers, con-tractors and subcontractors are doing it tough during this chal-lenging period, and the start of works on the M6 Stage 1 will be a major boost for the construc-tion industry.

“In NSW, there are almost 400,000 people employed in property and construction, and we are committed to keeping as many of them in work as possi-ble,” said Constance.

“Th e construction of M6 Stage 1 will create thousands of new jobs and support families across Sydney,” he added.

Constance also said that a A$20 million upgrade of rec-reational facilities at popular local parks in Rockdale and Brighton-Le-Sands will start in mid-2020.


Selangor recorded the highest investments approved in 2019 at RM47.8 billion, followed by Penang (RM33.7 billion), Johor (RM24.4 billion) and Kuala Lumpur (RM21.6 billion). Th e four states contribut-ed over 60% of the total approved investments in 2019.

Th e manufacturing sector saw approved investments amounting to RM82.7 billion in 2019 as the num-ber of projects approved increased by 37% from 721 projects in 2018 to 988 projects in 2019.

FDI accounted for 65.2% or RM53.9 billion of approved in-vestments for the sector, while the balance was accounted for by DDI.

“Mida has put in place a fast-track mechanism to expedite the approval for projects. It is note-worthy that 86.9% of the manufac-turing projects approved last year were through this mechanism,” said Senior Minister and International Trade and Industry Minister Da-

tuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali in a statement.

A total of 108 projects were ap-proved with investments of RM100 million and above, which was 33.3% higher y-o-y.

Th e approved projects will cre-ate about 78,000 new jobs, of which 35.4% are managerial, technical and supervisory (MTS) positions.

Among the notable projects were Intel’s RM10 billion invest-ment which will see its advanced as-sembly and test technology brought to Malaysia, as well as UK-based Smith+Nephew’s orthopaedics manufacturing facility in Pulau Pinang.

As for the services sector, the top fi ve contributors were the real estate (RM40.9 billion), utilities (RM32.6 billion), global establish-ments (RM11.8 billion), distributive trade (RM11.7 billion) and support services (RM5.7 billion), accounting for 87% of investments in the sector.

“It is noteworthy that although domestic sources dominated ap-proved investments in the servic-es sector, foreign investments in-creased by a signifi cant 53.4%, from RM16.1 billion in 2018, to RM24.7 billion in 2019,” the minister said.

Among notable services projects approved last year were two green technology projects by Telekosang Hydro in Sabah, a healthcare pro-ject by Daehan Rehabilitation Ser-vices in Putrajaya and a hospitality project by Interland Development in Sabah.

Th e primary sector, meanwhile, saw RM7 billion in approved invest-ments in 2019, down from RM10.9 billion a year earlier, led by the min-ing sub sector, which accounted for 94.3% of investments. Th e bal-ance comprised the plantation and commodity (RM291.4 million) and agriculture (RM135.1 million) sub sectors.

For 2020, a total of fi ve manufac-

turing and services projects have been approved to date.

Th e priority currently is not the number of investors or absolute value of investments but instead to bring in high value-added invest-ments that can help to revive the economy, the minister said.

“A business-as-usual approach will no longer work in this challeng-ing environment. A fundamental solution for the country to revitalise the economy is through adopting bold initiatives to ensure impactful accomplishments.

“Closer partnerships between federal, state and local authorities will be of the essence in facilitating our investors and ensuring the im-plementation of approved projects. All stakeholders need to make the necessary changes and re-engineer processes to deliver more effi cient and eff ective services. Digitalisation and automation are indeed the way forward,” said Mohamed Azmin.

Daily new Covid-19 cases drop to pre-MCO levelTh ere were only 36 infections versus 98 recoveries, with no death recorded yesterday

BY S YA F I Q A H S A L I M

BY E M I R Z A I N U L

KUALA LUMPUR: Even with the signifi cantly reduced number of daily reported cases, the country’s “war” against the spread of Cov-id-19 may not even end until a vac-cine is found, which may take up to 18 months, according to Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

Noor Hisham pointed to the World Health Organization’s pre-diction that Malaysia will still be at “war” with Covid-19 even until next year, unless a vaccine for the coronavirus is found and made available to the public.

Until then, the outbreak cannot be ended, but merely contained, with

possible sporadic isolated cases in the coming months, he told reporters.

“Th e war has not been won yet, and neither have we lost. But we have made a signifi cant improve-ment in terms of reducing the num-ber of daily cases,” he said.

“But we want to see [that] it is brought down to single digits. May-be we can achieve that single digit within one week but nonetheless, I think all of us need to work together and make sure that we continue to stay at home.

“What is important today (yester-day) is we may be able to reduce the numbers of cases, but not end [the infection],” Noor Hisham added.

He said even after the movement control order is lifted, the ministry

of health would advise people to continue staying at home to pre-vent the spread of the virus.

Besides that, other public health precautions such as social distanc-ing, regularly washing hands and avoiding mass gatherings must still be practised.

He said this “new norm’ may last up to six months. In the meantime, the government will continue to try to minimise infections within communities, by monitoring the incidence of infl uenza-like illnesses (ILI) and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI), said Noor Hisham.

Th e ILI and SARI numbers, he said, are good indicators for the government to plan further actions to deal with the outbreak.

PUTRAJAYA: Th e government has decided to place the Pusat Bandar Utara and the Selayang wholesale market area in Kuala Lumpur un-der enhanced movement control order (EMCO) eff ective yesterday until May 3.

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Saabri Yaakob said the decision to im-pose the sixth EMCO was made on the advice of the ministry of health involving six parcels that had been identifi ed as follows:• Parcel A: Jalan 6/3A, Pusat Ban-

dar Utara, Kuala Lumpur• Parcel B: Jalan 6/3A and 9/3A,

Pusat Bandar Utara, Kuala Lumpur

• Parcel C: Jalan 2/3A, Pusat Ban-dar Utara, Kuala Lumpur

• Parcel D: Jalan 2/3A, Pusat Ban-dar Utara, Kuala Lumpur

• Parcel E1: Taman Sri Murni Fasa 2, Jalan 1/2D, Kuala Lumpur

• Parcel E2: Taman Sri Murni Fasa 1, Jalan 1/2D, Kuala Lumpur

• Parcel E3: Taman Sri Murni Fasa 3, Jalan 1/2B, Kuala Lumpur

• Parcel F: Taman Batu View and Taman Batu Hampar, Kuala LumpurOnly the surrounding areas

of the Kuala Lumpur wholesale market, more commonly known as the Selayang wholesale mar-ket, is subject to the EMCO, not the market.

Ismail Sabri said the sixth MCO was implemented to curb Cov-id-19 infection and this would enable detection activities to be carried out during this period.

He said the Selayang whole-sale market operations would be operating as usual as the EMCO only applies to its neighbour-ing residential areas, whose residents are mostly ethnic Ro-hingya.

Based on statistics, there are to date 28 positive Covid-19 re-ported in the Pusat Bandar Utara and Selayang wholesale market areas.

Two more areas in Kuala Lumpur placed under EMCO until May 3

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia report-ed 36 new cases as of noon yester-day — the lowest daily fi gure since March 14, four days before the gov-ernment imposed the nationwide movement control order (MCO) on March 18.

Th e number of daily cases fell from 84 reported on Sunday, and is also the lowest since the MCO be-gan; the second lowest daily fi gure of 54 cases was reported on Saturday.

Meanwhile, daily recoveries were at 98, exceeding the number of new cases. Th is has reduced the number of active cases to 2,041, down from 2,103 on Sunday, while the death toll remains at 89, with no new fa-talities recorded, said Health direc-tor-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in a statement yesterday.

Malaysia’s total cases now stand at 5,425, with 3,295 total recoveries.

Malaysia has the fourth-high-est number of Covid-19 infections in Southeast Asia. Singapore is the worst hit, with 8,014 cases following a spike of 1,426 new infections reported yesterday, followed by Indonesia (6,760)

and the Philippines (6,459).Noor Hisham said that the de-

clining trend of daily infections the country has been seeing lately is due to proactive and aggressive actions screening taken by the ministry of health.

However, he cautioned that daily infections may rise in the next two weeks as the ministry is still tracking Covid-19 cases.

BY E M I R Z A I N U L

KUALA LUMPUR: The minis-try of health (MoH) is looking into the possibility of conducting mass random testing for Cov-id-19 in red zone areas around the country.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said this may help the MoH detect infections among communities with cases of Covid-19.

“So this (mass random testing) is probably a good study that we can consider doing. Th is study will use the antibody test kit that can be done quickly to detect an-tibodies IgM (immunoglobulin M) and IgG (immunoglobulin G),” he said during his daily me-dia briefi ng yesterday.

IgM and IgG refer to the anti-

bodies that the body produces in response to a virus. Early studies suggest the production of IgM and IgG in Covid-19 patients typically occurs between seven and 11 days after exposure, with IgM antibod-ies appearing fi rst, followed by IgG antibodies.

Th e presence of these antibod-ies indicate that a person has been exposed to the coronavirus and his immune system has reacted.

“So all it takes is a drop of blood and we can do the test. But this is not to diagnose [the patient] but to find out how many people in the community [who] have been infected but not detected,” Noor Hisham added.

To achieve this, he said the MoH may need the collaboration of pri-vate clinics to help conduct the tests.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians in the small and medium enterprise (SME) segment are seen as among those vulnerable to households’ debt-servicing capacity.

Unemployment rates could surge well over three percentage points, or more than twice as much as the average recession, as social-dis-tancing measures hit the engine of job creation across the Asia-Pacifi c, according to S&P Global Ratings.

In a report entitled “Jobs and the climb back from Covid-19” released yesterday, S&P Asia-Pacifi c chief economist Shaun Roache said surg-

ing unemployment in the Asia-Pacif-ic means a shallower recovery once the pandemic is contained and, in some economies, credit stress for leveraged households.

“Historical data showed jobs lost are not easily won back,” he said.

Roache said the service sector is the most important employer across the region, and a bigger en-gine of jobs growth than factories.

He highlighted for the average Asia-Pacifi c economy, of every 100 workers, 55 work in services, of which 22 work in wholesale and retail trade or hospitality. Only 14 work in the entire industrial sector.

Th e report said SMEs have created

many of these new service sector jobs.It said fi rms with fewer than 250

employees account for almost 70% of all jobs in Australia, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand, close to the average for all Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development economies.

Roache said SMEs usually have fewer resources to draw on to weather an economic sudden stop.

“Access to fi nance is a perennial challenge for smaller fi rms, and is likely to worsen when lenders are more uncertain about the outlook and cut back their exposures.

“As revenues collapse, to stay alive, these fi rms will be forced to

cut whatever expenses they can. In many cases, their largest expense will be the wage bill.

“Workers may suff er from a cut in their hours and, as a result, their wages even if they do hang onto their jobs.”

Roache said the rise in unem-ployment could be larger now than in previous cycles because the downturn is much larger and concentrated in the service sector.

“Job losses will hit households’ debt-servicing capacity, encour-age higher savings and lower con-sumption.

“Australia, South Korea, Malay-sia and Th ailand appear the most exposed.”

KUALA LUMPUR: United Overseas Bank (Malaysia) Bhd (UOB Malay-sia) is temporarily closing eight of its 45 branches nationwide as it bal-ances the need to provide essential banking services with protecting customers and staff ’s well-being.

In a statement yesterday, UOB Malaysia said the eight branches are closed from yesterday to the

end of the movement control order (MCO) period.

“It includes the bank’s branch at Medan Pasar near Masjid India, an area in Kuala Lumpur currently under an enhanced MCO,” it said.

UOB Malaysia chief executive offi cer Wong Kim Choong said the bank’s priority is to safeguard cus-tomers and colleagues’ health and safety.

“To ensure our people’s and

customers’ safety, we decided to close a number of branches with signifi cantly reduced traffi c since the MCO implementation.

“We are committed to serving customers through the MCO pe-riod and will continue providing essential banking services through our branches that remain open, as well as through our online and mobile banking platforms.

“We will continue monitor-

ing customer traffi c across all our branches to ensure we serve cus-tomers, while helping to protect the well-being of all,” he said.

According to UOB Malaysia, cus-tomers can continue managing their cash needs via the bank’s au-tomated teller machines and cash, cheque and coin deposit machines, from 8am to 8pm daily.

“Customers in the Masjid India area requiring over-the-counter

services or self-service banking fa-cilities can continue being served at the two nearest branches in Jalan Raja Laut and Jalan Pudu.

“In line with the need for the com-munity to adhere to safe distancing measures, UOB Malaysia encourages customers to use its digital banking services, including UOB Personal Internet Banking, UOB Business In-ternet Banking Plus and the UOB Mighty mobile app,” it added.

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e current and future demand for gold will be af-fected unless Covid-19 is contained quickly and soon. In its Asia-Pacif-ic Strategy note last Friday, CGS-CIMB Research said shutdowns in economies — even during and off shutdown periods — are likely to impact the current and future demand for the precious metal.

“Th e impact will be defl ation-ary, which has historically worked against the price of gold. Risk aver-sion is also likely to return if eco-nomic shutdowns continue or re-sume. Th e sudden halt to business means a severe disruption of dollar cash fl ows. Th at will drive anoth-er round of dollar funding stress, driving the US Dollar Index higher. Historically, that has tended to work against the price of gold.

“Eventually, when central banks attempt aggressively to infl ate away the debts accumulated by their shareholders (governments), gold will shine again, in our view. But not while defl ation and dollar funding stress remain [a] dominant con-cern,” the research house noted.

It added that while the market digests Covid-19 shutdowns' dam-age to the global economy, gold is unlikely to perform well, with the pandemic's impact at least initially being defl ationary in nature.

CGS-CIMB explained that phys-ical wars destroy capital and pro-ductive capacity, and when they conclude, release demand, creating excess demand vis-à-vis supply, re-sulting in infl ation. However, it said the war against Covid-19 destroys demand while leaving capital and production capacity intact and idle.

Additionally, Covid-19 is de-stroying savings and wealth, or fu-ture demand. As such, CGS-CIMB believes Covid-19 will be defl ation-ary in 2020 and possibly in 2021.

Th at said, the research house noted at some point in future when central banks print more money in an attempt to infl ate away the debts that shareholders in their respective governments have accumulated, there will be infl ation and gold will shine in such conditions.

“Gold will shine when inves-tors lose confi dence in the US dol-lar. Right now, the reverse is true. Th ere is still a high demand for the US dollar. And if risk asset markets resume their declines, there is little reason to hold gold. Th e value of everything else will then fall rela-tive to cash,” it noted.

‘Pandemic to hurt current and future demand for gold’

KUALA LUMPUR: FGV Holdings Bhd has voluntarily ceased operations at fi ve palm oil mills in the Sahabat region in Lahad Datu, Sabah, after the police enhanced the movement control order (MCO) in the area due to 11 Covid-19 cases detected.

In a statement yesterday, FGV confi rmed none of its employees in Sahabat tested positive for Covid-19. FGV said its operations in that region involve 115,432ha of plantation, com-prising of seven mills and 48 estates.

“At two of the fi ve mills, four em-ployees are quarantined as persons under investigation. Th e other three mills have been closed as a precau-tionary measure due to their proximi-ty to the aff ected Felda (Federal Land Development Authority) operations.

“FGV is giving full cooperation to the health ministry and has imme-diately advised its employees and their family members to undergo testing if they had been in close contact with any positive Covid-19 patients in the past 14 days, particu-larly in Wilayah Sahabat.”

FGV is fully committed to sup-porting the Sabah state govern-ment’s eff orts to contain the pan-demic by adhering to “radical and robust guidelines and SOPs (stand-ard operating procedures)” at all of its estates and mills, to ensure

the risks to all employees’ safety and health are minimised, it said.

FGV reaffi rmed its employees’ safety, health and well-being are the utmost priority, and will con-tinue being vigilant in its eff orts to contain the virus.

“Since the outbreak, FGV had es-tablished a Covid-19 task force com-mittee and implemented preventive measures across all of its operations.

“Amid the latest announcement of Lahad Datu district being a red zone area, FGV has taken several proactive measures in Wilayah Sahabat in line with the health ministry’s guidelines.

“All movements within FGV’s Wilayah Sahabat operations are

strictly controlled and monitored. FGV is working closely with PDRM (Royal Malaysia Police) and has uti-lised FGV’s auxiliary police teams to ensure strict compliance with the state government’s movement control order,” it said.

On Sunday, Bernama reported that the police were enhancing the enforcement of the MCO in Felda Sahabat after 11 Covid-19 cases were detected in the area.

Lahad Datu district police chief ACP Nasri Mansor was quoted as saying that following the District Disaster Management Committee’s instruction, no public movements are allowed in the area.

He was quoted as saying in line with the directive, all plantation and mills activities in the area will be suspended, and supermarkets, eateries and public markets’ oper-ations restricted.

According to earlier news reports, FGV was among major plantation companies, comprising Sime Darby Plantation Bhd, Wilmar International Ltd, Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd and Genting Plantations Bhd, that had ap-pealed to the Sabah state government to reconsider its decision to close oil palm operations in Kalabakan, Sem-porna, Kunak, Tawau, Lahad Datu and Kinabatangan due to Covid-19.

On April 1 this year, FGV said in a statement its appeal factored in the welfare of 871 families in Felda Sahabat and 776 families in Felda Umas. FGV said their incomes will be aff ected as a result of the closure.

“FGV has committed to adher-ing to all SOPs and guidelines in all FGV estates and mills since the MCO implementation on March 18 and continues to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure the risks to all employees’ safety and health are minimised,” FGV said then.

FGV’s share price closed one sen or 1.14% lower at 86.5 sen yester-day, with a market capitalisation of some RM3.16 billion.

Bursa sees RM9.1b foreign outfl ow in four monthsMalaysia remains the nation with the third smallest foreign net outfl ow on a YTD basis

KUALA LUMPUR: Foreign net sell-ing accelerated on Bursa Malaysia last week to RM638.6 million, com-pared with RM326 million in the preceding week, according to MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd.

Th is raises the year-to-date (YTD) foreign outfl ow from Malaysian eq-uities to RM9.1 billion, according to MIDF’s Adam M Rahim in his weekly fund fl ow report yesterday. In com-parison to six other Asian peers that MIDF monitors, Malaysia remains the nation with the third smallest foreign net outfl ow on a YTD basis.

“Th e pace of foreign net selling on Monday (April 13) remained steady below RM100 million as foreign in-vestors only sold RM76.8 million of local equities.

“Foreign investors took the op-portunity to accumulate some local

equities on Tuesday (April 14) to the tune of RM20.3 million amid reports that China’s exports post-ed a lower-than-expected decline in March 2020, falling by only 6.6% year-on-year (y-o-y) compared with the consensus of a 14% y-o-y drop,” he said.

Last Wednesday saw the lo-cal bourse inch higher to settle at 1,387.8 points, he noted, adding that it was the highest close in more than a month following the Interna-tional Monetary Fund’s latest World Economic Report that Malaysia’s economic growth will be the fastest among Asean-5 countries in 2021.

“Notwithstanding this, foreign in-vestors dumped RM159.5 million of local equities. Th e local market was instead supported by the purchase of RM241.8 million of local equities by local institutions on Wednesday (April 15),” he said.

The momentum of foreign net selling accelerated further to RM240.1 million last Th ursday amid lacklustre trading on Wall Street spurred by the US industrial output which experienced the biggest drop

in more than 70 years last month.“Th e level of foreign net selling

remained high on Friday (April 17) at RM182.5 million despite the pos-itive reports of a Covid-19 drug test done by Gilead Sciences Inc and a plan to reopen the US economy.

“In terms of participation, for-eign investors were the only investor group which saw its average daily traded value (ADTV) increase for the week by 5.6% to RM1.03 billion, while retail and institutional investors saw a weekly decline in ADTV by 11.7% and 3.2% respectively,” he said.

Off shore funds also quickened the pace at which they were reduc-ing their exposure to Asian equities last week, he noted. “Based on the provisional aggregate data for the seven Asian exchanges that we track, investors classifi ed as ‘foreign’ sold US$1.02 billion (RM4.47 billion) net last week,” he added.

KUALA LUMPUR: Minority share-holders of Westports Holdings Bhd have been advised to vote in favour of the group’s RM393.96 million land acquisition in Klang to develop eight additional container terminal (CT) facilities, involving a development cost of about RM10 billion, in the upcoming extraordinary general meeting. In an independent advice circular to Westports shareholders yesterday, Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd (HLIB) opined that the proposed land acquisition is fair and reasonable and not detrimental.

Th e group’s current CT facilities, comprising CT1 to CT9, were oper-ating at a utilisation rate of approxi-mately 72% of its total terminal han-dling capacity as at March 31 and are expected to reach near-full utilisation within the next few years, said HLIB.

“In view of this, the management is taking a proactive strategy to in-crease its CT capacity to meet the projected increase in throughput demand as well as to remain com-

petitive in the industry,” said HLIB, adding that the proposed expansion is expected to increase the group’s total handling capacity to 28 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) per annum after the completion of CT10 to CT17.

As the land is located right beside the existing CT facilities, the group will be able to achieve signifi cant cost savings and enhance operational ef-fi ciency as this will enable the group to share facilities and resources from the existing CTs such as container gates, terminal operating systems and warehouses, said the adviser.

Moreover, the purchase price rep-resents a slight discount of about 0.01% to the market value of the land as appraised by PPC International Sdn Bhd, said HLIB, adding that the land’s market value of approximate-ly RM25 per square foot (psf) is also lower than the average adjusted val-ue of the comparable properties of RM29 psf. Th e proposed acquisition is not expected to have a signifi cant impact on the company’s earnings and earnings per share (EPS), said

HLIB. It is, however, envisaged that it will contribute positively to the group’s future earnings and EPS in the long term once the additional CT facilities are fully operational.

Although it is anticipated that the global economy is to undergo a reces-sion due to Covid-19, the industry’s outlook remains positive in the long run as container throughput in Asia is expected to increase to about 504 million TEUs in 2024, which repre-sents around 54% to 55% of global port handling volume during the said period.

Despite the consolidation within the shipping industry, it is expected that there will be sustained growth in Asian container volume, said HLIB.

“Th erefore, the group will need to expand its container handling capacity given the current compet-itive environment and the prospect of developing the land appears fa-vourable,” said the adviser.

Westports shares closed four sen higher at RM3.96 yesterday, giving it a market capitalisation of RM13.5 billion.

KUALA LUMPUR: UEM Edgenta Bhd has teamed up with Kao-dim Sdn Bhd to kick-start a col-laboration between them, with an immediate pilot roll-out to a client of UEM Edgenta with a nationwide presence.

Under the collaboration, Kao-dim — a regional e-marketplace services provider — will provide an enterprise platform solution for UEM Edgenta’s vendor pro-curement and delivery of servic-es, the fi rst of its kind in the asset management and infrastructure solution space.

“Th is solution allows UEM Edgenta to elevate its vendor management via technology, which promotes better trans-parency and openness, as well as reduces process time,” the group said in a statement yesterday.

“It is made possible by fea-tures of the enterprise platform, such as on-demand vendor management and a rating sys-tem, which evaluates vendors on attributes such as quality, pricing and safety, as well as real-time visualisation and analytics. In turn, all these would enable UEM Edgenta to enhance its service delivery to its clients,” it added.

UEM Edgenta managing di-rector and chief executive offi cer Datuk Azmir Merican Azmi Mer-ican said the enterprise platform forms an integral component of the group’s vendor contrac-tor strategy as it enables agility and scalability for it to roll out services to more clients rapid-ly. He said the platform will be supported by quality assurance for services performed by ven-dors procured off the enterprise platform, as well as continued solutions for clients by UEM Edgenta’s personnel.

“Another component of the company’s strategy is the Edgen-ta Academy, which off ers UEM Edgenta personnel and vendors training and development cours-es, focused on aiding the devel-opment of standards in the asset management and infrastructure solution space,” he added.

Kaodim managing director Jeff ri Cheong said the partner-ship with Edgenta helps ex-pand the company’s offering into the business-to-business space. “Many tools we use in-ternally to reliably deliver home services can benefi t companies like UEM Edgenta which need to manage a wide array of work orders and service providers. Th rough our confi gurable admin infrastructure, we will support [UEM] Edgenta in optimising quality standards, response time and cost,” he said.

UEM Edgenta, through its businesses, currently manages more than 300 hospitals and healthcare facilities across Ma-laysia, Singapore, Taiwan and India.

KUALA LUMPUR: KKB Engineering Bhd has bagged a contract worth RM15 million from Sarawak Ener-gy Bhd for the supply and delivery of steel poles.

Th e contract duration is for one

year, the company said in a fi ling yesterday.

“Th e above contract is expect-ed to contribute positively to the earnings and net asset of the KKB group for the fi nancial year ending Dec 31, 2020,” it said.

KKB Engineering has gained

over 28% over the course of last month after falling to RM1.32 on March 23 — its lowest year to date.

Th e stock settled 13 sen or 8.28% higher yesterday at RM1.70 yester-day, giving it a market capitalisation of RM438.25 million.

KUALA LUMPUR: RHB Insur-ance Bhd will provide relief to its individual and small and medi-um enterprise (SME) policyhold-ers aff ected by Covid-19, so that those facing temporary fi nancial diffi culties continue to receive insurance protection, through its premium instalment scheme and premium relief scheme.

In a statement yesterday, RHB Insurance said under the pre-mium instalment scheme, both existing and new policyholders aff ected by the virus may apply to pay their insurance premiums, excluding motor insurance, in instalments for up to six months.

It said this scheme is appli-cable to policies with due dates from March 18, 2020 to Dec 31, 2020, and allows eligible poli-cyholders, including SMEs, the flexibility to restructure their payments in three monthly in-stalments or six monthly instal-ments without affecting their policy coverage.

Meanwhile, SME customers with insurance policy inception dates of between March 1, 2020 and Dec 31, 2020 can apply for additional relief, in the form of premium discounts, under the premium relief scheme.

Th is scheme is the fi rst in Ma-laysia that allows discounts on premiums for SME policyholders aff ected fi nancially by Covid-19, said RHB Insurance.

LONDON: Th e number of British people leaving their homes to go shopping has slumped by 83% since the government closed non-essential retail outlets last month to slow the spread of Covid-19, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) trade body said yesterday.

Separately, property website Rightmove said it was unable to provide meaningful house-price data due to a collapse in the number of new homes being listed for sale.

Last week the BRC said retail spend-ing had fallen by more than a quarter in the same period compared with a year ago, and yesterday’s fi gures show the decline in the number of people going out has been even sharper.

“Footfall dropped in early March, as many people chose to stay at home and reduce the risk of catching [Covid-19],” BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson said.

“Th is downwards trajectory was ac-celerated by the government’s decision to put the UK on lockdown.”

Last week Britain’s budget forecast-ers said the economy could shrink by an unprecedented 35% in the second quarter of 2020 if it was on lockdown for the next three months.

NEW YORK: Th e era of Covid-19 has brought a new must-have asset to the wealthy suburb of Greenwich: A short-term home rental.

Manhattanites seeking an immediate escape from the outbreak’s epicentre are bidding up leases in the Connect-icut town, which for years contended with fl agging sales of mansions that few younger Wall Street executives wanted to buy. Now Greenwich is suddenly a competitive hotspot for those with the means to pay up for a temporary refuge.

“It kind of builds,” said Joanne Man-cuso, an agent at Houlihan Lawrence. “You got a couple of calls, and then all of sudden, the fl urry came in.”

One of her listings — a furnished 9,261 sq ft house on North Street with a pool — was priced at US$32,000 (RM140,160) a month when it was off ered in January. By the end of March, it had a tenant who agreed to pay 56% more.

In March, 53 single-family homes in Greenwich were leased out, almost double the 27 from a year earlier, data compiled by Houlihan Lawrence show. Tenants agreed to pay above the asking rents in about a quarter of last month’s deals.

Th e trend is accelerating: Th e fi rst half of April saw 32 lease agreements, com-pared with just 14 last year. Th e homes are being rented for a monthly average of US$15,172, up from US$8,817.

Five of the deals this month are for above the asking price. Included in those

Supermarkets and other retailers of food and essential goods are still open, and the BRC said convenience stores had recorded increased traffi c since the lock-down started on March 23.

Rightmove — which typically adver-tises more than 90% of houses for sale on behalf of British estate agents — said there had been an “abrupt turnaround” from the best start to a year since 2016 to new sales now being almost impossible.

“You do not have a functioning market when buyers can’t buy and sellers can’t sell, and so the focus needs to be on what is required to help the market recover once the lockdown can safely be eased,” the company said.

Visits to Rightmove’s website fell by around 40% at the time of the lockdown announcement but had started to recover slowly over the past week, it said.

For the “daily dwindling number” of properties put up for sale between March 8, before the lockdown began, and April 11, average asking prices were 2.1% higher than the same period in 2019, it added.

Britain’s Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors warned on April 9 that the prop-erty market was coming to a “near stand-still” and it predicted a record drop in sales. — Reuters

Greenwich mansions in demand again as short-term home rentals

is a 3,200 sq ft ranch home on Cutler Road that had been listed since before Th anks-giving at US$8,000. It found a tenant a fortnight ago — a family from Manhattan — for US$8,700.

Th e higher price was negotiated to com-pensate the owner for a shorter, six-month lease, said the broker, Blake Delany of Houlihan Lawrence.

Owners across town are sensing an op-portunity. One listing in Old Greenwich, which in January was seeking a tenant at US$7,500, is now listed for US$12,000, according to Zillow. A newly developed home on two acres (0.81ha) with a private stone bridge is up for rent at US$50,000 after attempting a sale, most recently for US$6.3 million.

Th e owners of the home on North Street, who live overseas now, were seeking a year-long tenant when they put the property — with a wine cellar and exercise room — on the market in January. Six poten-tial takers took a look, but there were no commitments.

Th en came the week of March 16, when New York City declared a state of emer-gency and shuttered schools. Interest in the home surged. Within 48 hours, there were three off ers, all from bidders seeking short-term arrangements, Mancuso said.

The owners picked the bidder who wanted to stay the longest — 10 weeks. Th e tenants, a Manhattan family with kids and their grandparents, agreed to pay the equivalent of US$50,000 a month and moved in the last week of March.

“Th ey wanted to get out here as soon as possible,” Mancuso said. — Bloomberg

I N BR I E FDo not overlook dengue threat amid Covid-19Th e focus on the pandemic may give Aedes the chance to breed — expert

KUALA LUMPUR: Three other witnesses will be called to testify in the defence trial of a teenag-er charged with murder over the death of 23 people in a fi re at Pusat Tahfi z Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah here almost three years ago.

The defence trial scheduled to resume in the High Court here yesterday was postponed follow-ing the government’s decision to extend the movement control or-der to April 28 to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the country.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Julia Ibrahim told Bernama the court had fi xed May 14 for the next case management to set the new trial dates. Lawyer Haijan Omar, repre-senting the teenager, said his client had fi nished giving his testimony.

“Th e defence will call in three other witnesses, bringing the total to four,” he said. Th e teenager, now 19, gave his testimony from the witness stand on March 2 and 3.

On Jan 28, Justice Datuk Azman Abdullah ordered the teenager to enter his defence for the charge after the prosecution succeeded in establishing a prima facie case against him, who was 16 when the tragedy occurred.

However, the judge acquitted and discharged another person charged with him, also of the same age, without calling for his defence. — Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: With global at-tention riveted on the deadly Cov-id-19 pandemic, other infectious and equally lethal diseases like dengue are being marginalised.

Like Covid-19 for which no cure has been discovered yet, there is no specifi c treatment for dengue too, although the vector-borne disease has reportedly been in existence since 1902.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia public health specialist Associate Professor Dr Rozita Hod expressed her concern that the threat posed by dengue may be forgotten amid the Covid-19 crisis.

Dengue fever is caused by four diff erent types of viruses transmitted to humans by a bite from the female Aedes mosquito of the aegypti and albopictus species.

“As we all know, dengue is dan-gerous as it can cause death and there is no specifi c cure for it. Right now, while we are busy fi ghting Cov-

id-19, people are starting to forget how dangerous dengue is,” Rozita told Bernama, adding that like Cov-id-19 cases, dengue infections are also rising.

According to http://idengue.arsm.gov.my/ — which cites statis-tics provided by the National Crisis Preparedness and Response Cen-tre’s Dengue Operations Centre at the ministry of health — a total of 35,847 dengue cases were reported in Malaysia between Dec 29, 2019 and April 7, 2020.

A total of 58 deaths due to dengue were reported between January and April 4 this year.

The six states with the highest numbers of dengue cases were Selan-gor with 21,851 cases, Johor (2,881), Kuala Lumpur (2,627), Sabah (1,956), Kelantan (1,366) and Perak (1,112).

Covid-19 versus dengueRozita said although in Malaysia Cov-id-19 deaths, which stood at 89 as of Sunday, were higher than dengue fatalities, dengue should not be tak-

en lightly as it had aff ected far more people than Covid-19.

“Th e number of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia stood at 5,389 as of Sunday, but in the case of dengue over 30,000 cases were reported between Dec 29 and April 7,” she pointed out.

Not all dengue cases are treated in hospitals as only those suspected to have dengue haemorrhagic fever are warded, while the rest are given fever medicine but not required to go for follow-up checks at the nearest clin-ic, she explained. Considering that government hospitals and clinics are now busy handling Covid-19 cases, the last thing they would want is an upsurge in dengue cases.

The current rainy season is an invitation for Aedes mosquitoes to breed as they lay their eggs on the inner, wet walls of containers with water, above the waterline, and each mosquito can lay up to 100 eggs at a time.

“Don’t assume that just because your house is clean, you won’t be bitten by the Aedes mosquito as this

vector breeds in clear stagnant wa-ter. Its habitat can be any container, flower pot, old tyre or shoe that’s fi lled with rainwater and lying in a corner of the garden,” said Rozita.

The Aedes mosquito does not lay eggs in ditches, drainage, canals, wetlands, rivers or lakes.

With the six-week movement control order in force now, families have no option but to stay at home. Those residing in landed proper-ties, in particular, must ensure that their compounds are free of Aedes mosquito habitats as children tend to spend a lot of their time playing in the garden.

“Look out for the plastic mini pool for kids ... even though the water has been drained out [after the chil-dren have used it], mosquitoes can still breed there because the plastic structure may remain wet as it is not water-absorbent,” Rozita said.

She said studies had even found mosquito larvae in upturned plas-tic caps of mineral water bottles. — Bernama

PUTRAJAYA: Th e hearing of former police commando Azilah Hadri’s review application to set aside his conviction and death sentence for the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu scheduled for yesterday in the Federal Court has been vacated.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Da-tuk Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar said the Attorney-General’s Chambers re-ceived a notice from the court last Tuesday stating that the hearing was postponed and a new hearing date would be fi xed.

Azilah’s counsel J Kuldeep Kumar, when contacted, confi rmed receiving an email from the court stating that the review hearing had been vacated.

In December last year, the court

set yesterday for hearing Azilah’s re-view application. However, this has been overtaken by the extension of the movement control order until April 28.

Th e Federal Court was scheduled to hear yesterday Azilah’s review ap-plication as well as former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's application to intervene in Azilah's review.

Azilah, on death row at the Kajang Prison, fi led his review application on Dec 5 last year together with a 32-page statutory declaration in which he claims that the order to kill Altan-tuya came from Najib who was then deputy prime minister.

Azilah, 43, is seeking to set aside

his conviction and death sentence imposed by the Federal Court on Jan 13, 2015, and an order for a retrial.

In December last year, lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah told the media that his client Najib had denied everything alleged by Azilah.

Azilah and Sirul Azhar Umar, 47, were convicted and sentenced to death by the Shah Alam High Court in 2009 for Altantuya’s murder at Mukim Bukit Raja in Shah Alam, Selangor between 10pm on Oct 19 and 1am the following day in 2006.

Th ey were, however, discharged and acquitted by the Court of Appeal in 2013 which allowed their appeal to set aside their conviction and death sentence. — Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: With families re-maining indoors under the move-ment control order, now into its third phase, the time spent each day by family members on their gadgets — handphones, computers, tablets, game consoles and televisions — has defi nitely increased.

Dr Norazah Abdul Rahman, a consultant ophthalmologist and paediatric ophthalmologist at the Ara Damansara Medical Centre in

Petaling Jaya, said parents should be concerned about this and con-trol their children’s screen time to maintain good eye health and safety.

“Screen time is now not limited to entertainment as there are even on-line classes, while children as young as four years old are routinely log-ging on to online gaming platforms or watching videos on YouTube and on-demand TV.

“On average, young Malaysian children spend most of their 12 to 16 waking hours in front of a laptop,

television or smartphone, and almost never have outdoor activities,” she told Bernama.

Norazah stressed that too much screen time could lead to eyesight problems for children, with symp-toms like frequent blinking, abnor-mal visual behaviour and consistent rubbing of the eyes.

“In adults, digital eye strain is often manifested as headaches, eye pain, foreign body sensation, occa-sional blurring of vision and body ache,” she said. — Bernama

Weaker 2Q expected for KPJ due to lower occupancy rateKPJ Healthcare Bhd(April 20, 89 sen)Maintain buy with a lower target price (TP) of RM1.09: We expect the second quarter (2Q) to be heavily impacted by Covid-19 whereas 1Q will not see much of the brunt. As such, we revise our fi nancial year 2020-2021 (FY20-21) forecasts down-wards by 18%-13% in view of lower occupancy due to Covid-19 as we anticipate the post-movement con-trol order (MCO) eff ects to linger. Post-earnings adjustment, our sum-of-the-parts-based TP decreases to RM1.09 (from RM1.27). We maintain “buy” due to KPJ Healthcare Bhd’s wide domestic geographical hospital network spread.

Under the MCO period, KPJ re-mains fully operational as hospi-tals need to comply with nursing ratios as per the health ministry’s requirements. We foresee short-term headwinds as patients are delaying non-urgent treatment. Even before the MCO, KPJ had suggested pa-tients delay non-urgent treatments and only come in for urgent ones, resulting in a drop in occupancy.

Th e fi rst three weeks of the MCO brought KPJ’s occupancy to drop to 25% from its average rate of 65% (FY19). While the MCO period is for 1.5 months, its impact may be more profound than that as we feel people will still be stigmatised to be near hospital compounds if not necessary.

Whilst healthcare tourism has come to a halt with foreign tourists be-ing banned from entering the country, this is the least of their problems as KPJ’s healthcare tourism accounts for around 5% of total revenue (FY19).

KPJ started performing Covid-19 testing since the beginning of March, and to date it has 13 hospitals that are equipped to do Covid-19 testing, inclusive of eight drive-thru testing.

In the initial stages, KPJ started the Covid-19 testing at RM630 per test and since then it has scaled up its testing capacity (from 150 tests

Star Media Group Bhd(April 20, 32.5 sen)Upgrade to buy with a higher tar-get price (TP) of 52 sen: While Star Media Group Bhd’s business out-look remains clouded by the indus-try’s structural and cyclical shifts, its share price has fallen by 55% over the last 12 months. At these levels, we believe the company’s share price is overly discounted.

Th e stock is now trading below its net cash of 52 sen per share, which also implies that investors are getting its other assets such as property and printing plants for free. For fi nancial year 2019 (FY19), Star paid two sen dividends (im-plying a 6.25% yield on the current price) from its free cash fl ow per share of 13 sen.

Greater traction for its digital transformation and products would be a key catalyst for the stock. While we believe it is still early days, view-ership of its dimsum streaming service has increased following the government’s movement con-trol order to contain the Covid-19 pandemic.

As one of the top English news portals in Malaysia, Star’s digital platforms stand to benefit from trends toward digital advertising

expenditure (adex). Furthermore, opportunities to

cross-sell products across diff erent platforms such as digital, print and radio will entice more advertisers. Th is can be seen in its digital reve-nue’s 18% year-on-year growth in FY19 despite the adex slowdown.

We expect key cost savings from lower newsprint cost. Th e group undertook a cost restructuring ex-ercise in 2018 which saw it cease operations of its printing facilities in the Star Northern Hub and carried out a mutual separation scheme costing around RM28 million. Th is is expected to translate into RM14 million in annual savings. With print adex still weak, rationalisa-tion of Star’s print business may continue.

We now expect Star to record a RM3.6 million net loss for FY20 (from a net profi t of RM6.6 million previously) as slower economic activity weighs on adex.

Our TP of 52 sen is pegged at its net cash per share.

Key risks to our view include po-tential new players in the market. New entrants in the market could dilute Star’s circulation as well as its advertising sales. — AllianceDBS Research, April 20

AEON Co (M) Bhd(April 20, RM1.08)Maintain market perform with an unchanged target price (TP) of RM1.05: We maintain our cau-tious view after a conference call with AEON Co (M) Bhd’s manage-ment. We are positive on its eff orts to alleviate the strain on sales with cost-saving measures, but over-all, we expect fi nancial year 2020 (FY20) to be weaker than last year (-26% year-on-year [y-o-y]) on weaker consumer sentiment.

During the movement control order (MCO), only the group’s su-

permarket segment is operation-al with enhanced measures such as telemarketing, personal shop-pers, drive-thrus, in-house delivery services and online sales through HappyFresh. Although AEON ben-efited from panic buying with a double-digit growth in retail sales up to March 17, after the MCO sales dropped 70% y-o-y, which averaged to about a 10% drop in March, trans-lating into a negative same-store sales growth of 10% compared to a positive low-single-digit growth last year.

In terms of cost-saving measures,

closures of some parts of its malls starting from March 18 helped to generate savings through: i) elec-tricity costs; ii) lower maintenance works, including lower numbers of contract staff ; iii) renegotiation with landlords over leasing agree-ments; iv) better terms with sup-pliers for inventory arrangement; and v) major capital expenditure being shelved, including renova-tion works.

AEON expects a surge in de-mand post-MCO with an immedi-ate surge on Ramadan and seasonal Hari Raya demand. Nonetheless,

AEON expects it will take some time for consumers to resume their daily spending pattern, projected to take up to at least six months.

AEON will introduce similar pro-motions which have been shelved before (101-day Ramadan and Ai-dilfi tri campaigns) to entice con-sumer spending. Overall, we expect the fi rst half of FY20 (1HFY20) to be weaker than last year, while 2HFY20 could off er some relief if consumer sentiment and spending recover.

Nevertheless, we expect the whole of FY20 to be weaker than last year (-26% y-o-y) on weaker

consumer sentiment. Th ere are no changes to our estimate as we have factored in the negative impact of the MCO into our forecasts. We have cut our earnings estimates for FY20/FY21 by 27%/20% respectively.

We maintain our “market per-form” call and TP of RM1.05, which is based on a trough valuation of 18 times price-earnings ratio (PER) (-2.0 standard deviations of the fi ve-year historical mean PER). Risks to our call include: i) lower-than-ex-pected sales; and ii) higher-than-ex-pected operating expenses. — Kenanga Research, April 20

should the need arise. Apart from that, there may be po-

tential arrangements to allow sur-geries scheduled by public hospitals to be done in private hospitals. KPJ would be more than ready to assist to free up capacity of the former, though margins would be thin.

Nevertheless, we expect KPJ’s 1Q results to likely to chalk up decent numbers (with minimal impact of the MCO which started mid-March) but 2Q could be weak, bearing the brunt of the MCO/Covid-19 impact (a signifi cant drop in non-critical patient volume).

Th e crisis should not end like the lastCentral banks have done their part. But recovering from Covid-19 will require a far more comprehensive approach

SINGAPORE now has two types of landlords. Th e unhappy ones need folks to show up at offices, malls, hotels and factories, something that is simply not going to happen in a hurry with the city-state’s Covid-19 infections about to hit 6,000.

But there is also a happy prop-erty owner, whose tenants live in the cloud, unaff ected by social-dis-tancing norms. For real estate in-vestment trusts, or REITs, that make money by hosting data, the more people pretend to work from home and watch Netfl ix, the better.

Th e Asian fi nancial centre had a much-publicised early success in con-taining the pandemic before an out-break in dormitories densely packed with foreign workers, sending num-bers soaring. Th e government, which banned tourists last month but kept schools, restaurants and bars open, has now shut down gatherings and

Th ese landlords do not want us to go to workbusinesses except essential services. Th at has taken a predictable toll on real estate of all kinds except one.

Even as retail, commercial and hospitality properties struggle, shares in Keppel DC REIT, the is-land’s largest landlord of data cen-tres by market value, have recouped most of their March losses. Put it down to more people working from home. As Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Michael Tam has noted, widespread adoption of cloud stor-age and external data centres could allow employers to shrink their office-based server rooms. That would boost demand for leasing space from the likes of Keppel DC.

But there is more to the story. Singapore and Hong Kong, rivals in many other spheres, also compete to host computer servers. With Cov-id-19 deepening the rift between Washington and Beijing, there is a strong likelihood that Hong Kong’s prospects will fall victim to a harder American line on China. US offi -cials recently refused permission to Google to turn on a high-speed

Internet link with the Chinese ter-ritory on national security grounds, while allowing a similar connec-tion to proceed with Taiwan, Th e Wall Street Journal reported. In this fraught environment, it should be very clear to Alphabet Inc and Facebook Inc that Singapore is a safer choice. Outside of China, the

potential market for digital consump-tion in India and Indonesia is large due to the sheer size of their popula-tions. But they also happen to be the least competitive in the Asia-Pacifi c for hosting data centres, according to Cushman & Wakefi eld plc. Measured by power supply, Singapore is now the world’s largest repository for storing

and processing data, with Facebook alone setting up an 11-storey facility. In Singapore, owning malls looked like a bad idea even before the vi-rus. E-commerce was hollowing out physical stores, hurting segments like electrical goods, electronics, home furnishings and telecommunications especially hard.

Covid-19 has buttressed the ap-peal of tenants who do not need foot-fall to pay rent. As long as the existing data centres hold their value, REITs can take advantage of collapsing glob-al interest rates to shop for factories that can be modifi ed as server farms. Th eir retail and commercial peers, meanwhile, could be bumping up against their 45% regulatory leverage limit should their real estate values drop by 15% to 30%. Th ey will not be going out to expand any time soon.

Their home-bound customers, too, may be stuck in a Google Class-room or a Zoom work meeting. Th e wealthy but ageing chunk of Singapo-reans who invest in data-centre REITs will be happy landlords, collecting a decent rent. — Bloomberg

UST a few weeks into the Covid-19 pandemic, the world’s most powerful central banks have found themselves shoved violently back into crisis-management mode. How they emerge from this

latest emergency — and how it af-fects their political autonomy, man-dates and credibility — is less a func-tion of what they do and more of what happens around them.

After a golden age in which cen-tral banks were feted for vanquishing infl ation, and sometimes even for taming the vagaries of the business cycle, they found their reputations tar-nished by the fi nancial crisis of 2008 and the recession that followed. An aggressive “whatever it takes” policy helped them to eventually win that war. But the prolonged and excessive reliance on them that followed — a result of the failure of most advanced countries to pivot to a more compre-hensive policy response — failed to secure the peace.

In this latest crisis, which is like-ly to be a generation-defi ning one, central banks have now gone “all in”, deploying emergency interventions in record time that have already ex-ceeded the steps they took during the fi nancial crisis and its aftermath. What they have done is truly stun-ning. It has included fl ooring interest rates, embarking on massive securi-ties-buying programmes, reopening emergency fi nancing windows and

creating new ones.Th e magnitude of this response is

likewise unprecedented. Th e US Fed-eral Reserve (Fed) has now expanded its balance sheet beyond US$6 tril-lion (RM26.28 trillion), an increase of almost US$2 trillion in less than a month. It has taken extraordinary steps to lift regulations to help banks play their part in the relief eff ort. It is also still working closely with the US Treasury — and, in the process, venturing into areas that were once deemed verboten, both for the risks involved and the potential for serious mission drift.

As the old saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. And as wel-come as these aggressive new inter-ventions have been in containing already-severe economic damage, there is no denying the costs and risks that come with them. Th ese are not just economic and fi nancial risks, but institutional and political as well.

Consider the following:• By taking on its balance sheet more

exposure to diff erent segments of the economy, both directly and in partnership with the Treasury, the Fed is exposing itself to risks that go well beyond what it can infl uence directly. Th is includes the extreme credit risk that comes from defaults and bankruptcies.

• By rushing in with “massive bazoo-kas” to support markets, central banks may again inadvertently contribute to investor behaviours that have consistently decoupled asset valuations from underlying fundamentals. Already, the stock market has soared in response to the Fed’s enhanced activism. Th e result is continued under-appreci-

ation of liquidity risks, deeper un-healthy co-dependency between central banks and markets — and, with that, an increased risk of fi -nancial instability down the road.

• Being forced into crisis-manage-ment mode, and making so many decisions amid the “fog of war”, means not just that the chance of central banks making mistakes is inherently high but also that the likelihood of Monday-morning quarterbacking is considerable.

• By attracting so much attention to the trillions of dollars that it is deploying to avoid market fail-ures, the Fed has again opened itself to the accusation that it has been co-opted by the financial sector. At the same time, a more damaging and unfair view is al-ready circulating on social media: Th at the central bank cares more about the wealth of the 1% than the well-being of the population as a whole.

• More political actors, including relatively new lawmakers in Con-gress, are being exposed to the considerable power and resources of central banks — this at a time when many more elements of the so-called Modern Monetary Th e-ory are becoming realities on the ground. With that, the pressure on the Fed to embark on a “peo-ple’s QE (quantitative easing)” or some similar programme is likely to increase signifi cantly.

Th ese risks will multiply the longer it takes to restart the economy. Th e more durable the shutdown, the high-er the threat that liquidity problems become solvency ones, and the more

likely that bankruptcies and defaults proliferate and raise questions about the Fed’s judgement and competence. Th at could also lead to renewed mar-ket volatility at a time when the Fed is putting massive resources on the line — and, with them, its credibility.

Unfortunately, these challenges will not end once this exceptional pe-riod of crisis management subsides. Th ey will also extend to the next two stages: Th e economic restart and the post-crisis policy landscape.

It is increasingly clear that the economic reopening may not be as immediate — or as generalised — as we would all hope. Th e growing likelihood of a sequential restart of both national and global economies will raise a new set of challenges for central banks and governments, com-panies and households.

After that, we will need to navigate a landscape that involves more than simply disentangling what is quickly evolving into a spaghetti bowl of pub-lic-sector involvement in private-sec-tor activities. We could also be facing an environment of more sluggish supply and demand responsiveness.

With an expected shift in corpo-rate emphasis from effi ciency to re-silience, we should anticipate that many global companies will revisit their supply chains even if it means sacrifi cing cost-eff ectiveness and just-in-time inventory management. Th is rewiring, while not instantaneous, will accelerate existing trends towards de-globalisation, which have been driv-en by concerns for the marginalised, trade wars and the weaponisation of economic tools.

At least in the short term, all this will involve a decline in productivity

accentuated by a higher risk of “zom-bie companies” due to the immense fi nancial subsidies now being provid-ed by governments and central banks. Meanwhile, corporate indebtedness continues to rise, as does government debt. Both trends may end up putting pressure on the Fed to resist interest rate increases in the years ahead.

Turning to the demand side, households may well become more risk-averse. To the extent they do, they will prove less responsive to the stimulus policies that will follow the current phase of relief. And the longer the crisis stage lasts and the hard-er the restart phase, the higher the possibility of a recurrence of a more frugal “great depression generation”. Th is would be especially likely if econ-omies were inadvertently pushed into a “W”-shaped recovery — that is, a repeat of the lockdown-restart cycle, due to a resurgence of health concerns. It is important to stress that the optimal central bank response to all these uncertainties is not pa-ralysis. Rather, it is to continue with intense work on scenario analyses, internal and external communica-tions, contingency planning, feed-back and mid-course adjustments as needed. To avoid repeating the errors of the fi nancial crisis, these eff orts will need to be supported by a “whole of government” approach that combines stimulus with a range of structural reforms aimed to counter the downward pressure on produc-tivity and growth potential.

Otherwise, central banks may once again help to win the war against a depression, but be part of a system that fails to win the peace of durable and inclusive growth. — Bloomberg

Oil plunges below US$12 as storage rapidly fi lls amid demand slumpTh e fresh historical low comes as inventories soar because of the supply-demand mismatch created by Covid-19

BY A L E X LO N G L E Y

Oil plunged the most on record to below US$12 (RM52.56) a barrel in New York as a his-toric demand slump fills in-ventories to the brim.

Futures fell as much as 40%. While the collapse refl ects the most immediate May contract expiring today, it nonetheless highlights a fast-growing glut of oil, and rapidly expanding stockpiles at the American hub at Cushing, Oklahoma. Opec+’s record production cuts from next month are paling in the face of this evapo-rating demand.

The upcoming May contract’s expiry means traders are shifting their positions to June as they try to avoid taking deliver-ies of cargoes because of the lack of space to store them. Th at has opened up an un-precedented discount of more than US$10 between the two nearest contracts.

May WTI has fallen far lower than June ahead of expiryTh ere are signs of weakness everywhere. Buyers in Texas are off ering as little as US$2 a barrel for some oil streams, raising the pos-

sibility that producers may soon have to pay to have crude taken off their hands. China reported its fi rst economic contraction in decades last Friday, an indication of what is to come in other major economies that have yet to emerge from coronavirus-driv-en lockdowns.

“Th ere is no limit to the downside to pric-es when inventories and pipelines are full,” commodities hedge fund manager Pierre Andurand said on Twitter. “Negative prices are possible.”

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for May plummeted as much as 40%, the most since futures began trading in 1983, and was 35% lower at US$11.95 a barrel as of 1.13pm in London. Th e June contract declined 11% to US$22.37. Brent for June fell 5.7% to US$26.48 a barrel.

Crude stockpiles at Cushing — the key US storage hub — have jumped 48% to almost 55 million barrels since the end of February. Th e hub had working storage capacity of 76 million as of Sept 30, according to the Ener-gy Information Administration.

Despite the weakness in headline pric-es, retail investors are plowing money back into oil futures. Th e US Oil Fund ETF saw a record US$552 million come in last Friday,

taking total infl ows last week to US$1.6 bil-lion. Th e fund has said it would move some of its WTI holdings into the July contract, citing regulatory and market conditions.

Th e price collapse is reverberating across the oil industry. Crude explorers shut down 13% of the American drilling fl eet last week.

While that could cut production, with com-panies crimping their spending, it may not be enough.

“US shut-ins are gaining pace, but not fast enough to avoid storage fi lling to max,” said Paul Horsnell, head of commodities at Standard Chartered. — Bloomberg

OIL in New York is heading for an extra dose of unpredictability over the next two days as the current contract nears expiration, adding extra volatility to a market that is grappling with a glut and evaporating demand.

Th e contract expiry is when white-collar fi nancial derivatives trading intersects with the blue-collar world of pipelines and stor-age tanks. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures for May are set to expire at the end of trading today, but a market structure known as contango — indicating near-term oversupply — has helped lead to a wide gap with the June contract.

While May futures declined almost 19% to US$14.88 (RM65.17) a barrel as of 8.34am London time, June crude is down around 5.6% to US$23.62. Volumes are also larger for June as investors position for the change of contracts.

Th e tens of billions of dollars traded every day in WTI futures are almost always settled fi nancially, but any contract that has not been closed out after expiry has to be liquidated with physical delivery of oil if the parties cannot come to some kind of over-the-coun-ter agreement. Th ose deliveries go to the storage hub of Cushing, Oklahoma, which is connected by pipeline to Canada, the US Midwest, West Texas and the Gulf Coast.

Th e problem is that Cushing is rapidly fi lling as fuel consumption collapses due to lockdowns to stem the Covid-19 pandemic. Crude stockpiles ballooned by almost 16 million barrels in the three weeks through April 10 to 55 million barrels. Th e hub had working storage capacity of 76 million as of Sept 30, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Wild oil market set for extra volatility as expiry nears

Th at is bad news if you are long on May futures, because if you do not close out your position by the end of trading today, you have just a few days to let the seller know how you’re going to accept delivery, which is due from May 1-31. At the rate Cushing is

fi lling, fi nding space is going to be diffi cult, especially for fi nancial traders who rarely deal with the physical world.

Th at is one of the reasons why the May future is trading nearly US$9 a barrel lower than WTI for June, more than the record US$8.49 spread

between the fi rst- and second-month contracts set in December 2008. Th e wide gap is also being driven by the large fl ows of exchange-traded funds into the June contract. Th e US Oil Fund accounted for about 25% of outstanding June crude as of last week. — Bloomberg

SOME oil refiners are picking up more crude cargoes at the last minute from locations nearby as uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic discourages their more usual ap-proach of making advanced orders, market sources said.

With little clarity about how long national lockdowns to prevent the spread of the virus will last and whether prices have further to fall, re-fi ners are wary of longer-term deals.

Physical crude prices have been pummelled as measures to contain the pandemic have kept people at home and hammered demand for jet fuel, petrol, diesel and other prod-ucts.

“Buying anything but prompt bar-rels is like playing the lottery,” a major East Asian buyer told Reuters.

Sellers have struggled to find buyers even on heavily discounted cargoes from West Africa or other producing areas that would mean a longer journey to major centres.

One Mediterranean refining source said his company usually ordered one or two months in ad-vance for a cargo with a three-week travel time. “Now, we only take Med-iterranean grades last minute that arrive in a few days,” he said.

Another Mediterranean source said: “Many refi neries need to plan short term as product demand is a moving target.”

Th e price structure of the oil mar-ket has added to the challenges, tip-ping into heavy contango where spot prices trade below futures prices. Th is usually encourages oil to be stored for sale at higher prices at a later date.

“Th ese ultra-low fl at prices cou-pled with extreme market structures tend to make crude pricing even more complex given the diff erent time stamps and benchmarks in-volved for diff erent crudes,” energy consultancy JBC said.

A record spread between oil fu-tures contracts and dated Brent, the benchmark for pricing half the world’s physical crude cargoes, has encouraged caution as traders try to work out when the market will stabilise.

In a bid to restore balance, the Organization of the Petroleum Ex-porting Countries (Opec) and allies agreed to cut output by 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd), or almost 10% of global supply, in May and June. Th e US and others also off ered to pump less. But even this may not be enough when demand has slumped by as much as 30%.

Faced with an uncertain outlook, even rare buying interest draws a cautious response.

Indonesia’s Pertamina said this week it planned to import more crude and fuel to take advantage of cheap prices. Traders said it had recently is-sued a tender to buy two million barrels every month in the second quarter.

But one regular supplier said: “It’s tough to fi x on prices for later in the year this far out.” — Reuters

RATHER than cutting back on imports, China pushed crude oil into storage tanks at almost double the rate in the fi rst quarter of 2020 (1Q20) than it did in1Q19 as the Covid-19 pandemic hit domestic consumption.

China does not release offi cial data on fl ows into strategic and commercial stock-piles, but an estimate can be made by sub-tracting the amount of crude processed by refi neries from the total volume of oil availa-ble from both imports and domestic output.

China’s crude oil imports were 10.2 mil-lion barrels per day (bpd) for the fi rst three months of the year, according to customs data.

Domestic output was 3.74 million bpd, giving a total of available crude for 1Q20 of 13.94 million bpd.

Refi nery throughput for 1Q20 was the equivalent of 11.96 million bpd, meaning of the total available crude 1.98 million bpd was not processed by refi neries.

Doing the same calculations for 1Q19 shows imports of 9.83 million bpd, domestic production of 3.84 million bpd, and refi nery processing of 12.6 million bpd, leaving a gap of 1.07 million bpd.

Th e numbers suggest that China almost doubled the rate at which it put oil into stor-age in 1Q20, in order to deal with the loss of consumption as Covid-19 caused much of the country to be placed in some form of lockdown.

It is also worth noting that China’s exports of refi ned fuels also rose in 1Q20, reaching 18.02 million tonnes, up 9.7% from the same period last year.

A breakdown by type of refi ned product is not yet available, but it is likely the bulk of the increase was in gasoline and middle distillates such as jet kerosene and diesel.

Overall, the picture that emerges from 1Q20 is that China decided to increase crude storage fl ows rather than cut back on imports.

Th e other factor in dealing with the loss

China doubled crude oil storage infl ows in 1Q

of demand from Covid-19 was that refi nery throughput did drop and exports of refi ned fuels increased, but not by huge margins.

China’s unique circumstancesHowever, rather than being a template for the rest of the world as it battles to contain the pandemic, China is likely to be some-thing of an outlier.

Other major crude importing countries lack the ability to simply divert oil into stor-age on the scale that China can, meaning they will have to lower the amount of crude being imported.

Even countries with large commercial and strategic storages, such as the US, will fi nd that the volume of crude available is so much that it will overwhelm available tank space within weeks, rather than months.

China’s ability to double storage fl ows to almost two million bpd over an entire 1Q20 makes it unique, not a model.

To put China’s storage fl ows in perspec-tive, at about two million bpd they are 25%

higher than the total crude consumption of the UK, the world’s sixth-largest economy.

It is also likely that China will continue to suck up crude oil for its stockpiles, especially given the collapse in prices since Covid-19 caused much of the developed world to put their economies into some form of lockdown.

China is on track to import at least 9.35 million bpd of seaborne crude in April, up from 8.8 million bpd in March, according to Refinitiv vessel-tracking data, filtered to show only cargoes already discharged, awaiting discharge or underway and due to offl oading prior to the end of the month.

Seaborne imports exclude pipeline vol-umes from Russia and central Asia, which were around 843,000 bpd in March.

China’s appetite for imported crude for storage is probably one of the few bright spots for the embattled oil industry cur-rently, although by itself it is nowhere near enough to compensate for the loss of an es-timated 30 million bpd of global consump-tion. — Reuters

China cuts key rate for second time this yearTh is is to reduce borrowing costs for companies

HONG KONG: Th e recent surge in Singapore stocks from a bottom at the end of March suggests investors are starting to price in a post-Covid-19 recovery, according to analysts with Citigroup Inc.

Th e Straits Times Index (STI) has climbed 17% since hitting its lowest level in more than a decade as re-cent economic indicators including exports and cargo volumes growth have begun to indicate a year-on-year bottom, Patrick Yau, analyst with Citi, said in a note to clients.

Singapore’s exports unexpectedly

surged in March from a low base in the previous year, with non-oil do-mestic exports climbing 17.6%, the highest since October 2017, accord-ing to data published by Enterprise Singapore.

“A bottoming of activity indica-tors during SARS in 2003 marked the STI’s bottom,” Yau said. A lifting of stay-home measures targeted for later in April and early May “would imply that activity metrics would essentially bottom”.

Yau has a bottom-up target of 2,771 for the Singapore benchmark, implying about 6% upside from current levels, without specifying

a time frame. Th e index fell to trade at around 0.8 times its book value in late March, the lowest ever. Th e STI was little changed yesterday.

While negative news is baked into expectations at this point, Singapore is not out of the woods yet as Yau sees continued downside for earnings this year while dividends remain at risk. Th e global nature of the Covid-19 outbreak also suggests continued risks for Singapore’s trade and open economy.

SHANGHAI: China cut its benchmark lending rate as expected yesterday to reduce borrowing costs for compa-nies and prop up the Covid-19-hit economy, after it contracted for the fi rst time in decades.

The one-year loan prime rate (LPR) was lowered by 20 basis points (bps) to 3.85% from 4.05% previous-ly, while the fi ve-year LPR was cut by 10bps to 4.65% from 4.75%.

The move was the second cut to the lending benchmark rate this year, and the latest reduction in

one of China’s key lending rates. Most new and outstanding loans are based on the LPR, while the fi ve-year rate infl uences the pricing of mortgages.

All 52 participants in a Reuters survey had expected a reduction in the LPR at its monthly fi xing. Most had forecast a 20bps cut in the one-year rate but a more modest 5bps to 10bps in the fi ve-year as Beijing tries to keep a lid on property prices.

“Th e asymmetric cut suggests that the authorities will stick to the tight housing policy. It will not be deemed as a tool to stimulate domestic de-mand, even at this diffi cult time,” said

Xing Zhaopeng, markets economist at ANZ in Shanghai.

The Chinese economy shrank 6.8% in the fi rst quarter from a year earlier as the virus and tough contain-ment measures shut down factories and shops and put millions out of work, data showed last Friday. Th at was the fi rst contraction since at least 1992, when quarterly records were fi rst published.

While the country is restarting its economic engines, analysts say ac-tivity could take months to return to pre-crisis levels, with the likelihood of a global recession adding to the pressure. — Reuters

SINGAPORE/LONDON: ABN Amro Bank NV has become the lat-est lender to make a claim against a Singapore oil trading giant that fi led for protection from creditors amid a plunge in oil prices.

Th e Dutch bank fi led applica-tions for charges related to irrev-ocable letters of credit (LCs) tied to goods and documents of Hin Leong Trading (Pte) Ltd, accord-ing to fi lings with Singapore’s Ac-counting and Corporate Regula-tory Authority.

Th e Amsterdam-based lender is the second bank to fi le charges linked to Hin Leong, which owes almost US$4 billion (RM17.52 bil-lion) to more than 20 Singaporean and international banks, including HSBC Holdings plc, DBS Group Holdings Ltd and Standard Char-

tered plc. London-based HSBC has the most exposure to the oil trader, with about US$600 million, people familiar with the situation said.

Hin Leong fi led the application for a debt moratorium from Sin-gapore’s High Court last Friday, according to people with knowl-edge of the matter.

ABN Amro did not specify the amount owed to the bank in the documents dated last Friday. Th e charges covered include Hin Le-ong’s bills of landing, air waybills, cargo and warehouse receipts, as well as the goods shipped related to the bank’s credit.

An irrevocable LC cannot be cancelled or amended by the is-suing bank without the agreement of the parties in the credit trans-action. LCs are a critical fi nancial lifeline for commodity traders, used as way of fi nancing short-term trade. — Bloomberg

HONG KONG: Venture Smart Asia Ltd has launched Hong Kong’s fi rst approved cryptocurrency fund with a target fi rst-year size of US$100 million (RM438 million), off ering an offi cially-sanctioned window for institutional investors in Bitcoin.

Arrano Capital, the Hong Kong asset manager’s blockchain arm, announced yesterday the roll-out of its Bitcoin fund, after clearing licensing conditions to let it deal in virtual assets with the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) this month. It is the fi rst such fund ap-proval since local regulators started to look into ways to exert oversight over the crypto industry about a year ago. Th e SFC has previously granted licences to crypto asset

managers like Hong Kong’s Diginex, but those have not met the full cri-teria to run pure crypto funds that can be marketed to professional investors only.

While institutions and family of-fi ces around the globe have found ways to invest in digital tokens like Bitcoin and Ether, an investment ve-hicle with a regulatory thumbs-up will likely gain traction. Despite no specifi c launch target, Arrano Cap-ital seeks to surpass US$100 million in total assets under management through a fund tracking Bitcoin prices within the fi rst year, Arrano chief investment offi cer Avaneesh Acquilla said. Its second product — scheduled for launch later this year — will be an actively managed fund dealing with a basket of dig-ital tokens, he said. — Bloomberg

HONG KONG: Alibaba Group Hold-ing Ltd will invest 200 billion yuan (RM122.47 billion) on cloud infra-structure such as data centres over the next three years, a major eff ort to extend one of its fastest-growing businesses to more countries.

Th at huge outlay — equivalent to about half the revenue the entire company generated in fi scal 2019 — underscores the importance of a division Alibaba relies on to spear-head its international expansion.

The Chinese e-commerce gi-ant now plans to build more data centres to complement an existing network covering 21 regions glob-ally and support the development of technologies in areas such as ar-tifi cial intelligence-inference chips, it said in a statement.

Cloud computing has become one of Alibaba’s fastest-growing initiatives beyond the traditional e-commerce sphere. Th e division’s revenue rose 62% to 10.7 billion yuan in the December quarter as Alibaba chipped away at Amazon.com Inc’s and Microsoft Corp’s global lead in the business of providing online computing as a service.

The Chinese company is now

recognised as one of Asia’s leading cloud players, though Tencent Hold-ings Ltd and Baidu Inc are stepping up competition at home and abroad.

“Th e key focus in the medium term is to gain scale, in custom-ers, infrastructure and product of-ferings,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Vey-Sern Ling said of the cloud division. “Profi tability is not a near-term focus”

Th e amount they are spending over three years should be just about equivalent to the revenue they generate, keeping the segment at near-break-even level as it has been for the past few quarters.”

Like Amazon’s, Alibaba’s cloud service emerged from the compu-tational power needed to handle millions of online shopping trans-actions. But unlike its US counter-part, it enjoys home-fi eld advantage in a vast Chinese market where web-based computing is still novel to many enterprises.

Its push into the cloud, where soft-ware and services are provided to customers via server farms the size of football fi elds, could help cushion Alibaba against domestic consump-tion shocks to its core operation.

Even before China recorded its fi rst economic contraction in dec-

ades, Alibaba had warned that the Covid-19 outbreak would have a broad impact on its business.

Th e cloud computing division is also key to the company’s eff orts to harness the enormous amounts

of data generated daily — what Al-ibaba co-founder Jack Ma once re-ferred to as “new oil”. Th e unit now accounts for about 7% of Alibaba’s revenue but is expected to climb. — Bloomberg

SYDNEY: Th e Covid-19 pandem-ic has prompted Canadian con-venience store giant Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc to walk away from its A$8.8 billion (RM24.53 billion) proposal for fuel retailer Caltex Australia Ltd.

Couche-Tard decided against a revised off er after completing its due diligence, ending its six-month pursuit of the Australian company. A deal for Caltex Australia would have marked the largest acquisi-tion in the country this year as well as the third-biggest in the past 12 months, according to Bloomberg.

“The current situation in the world is highly uncertain,” Couche-Tard said in a statement.

Th e Canadian fi rm said it con-tinues to see Caltex Australia as a “strong strategic fi t” and plans to re-engage “once there is suffi cient clarity as to the global outlook.”

Matthew Halliday, Caltex Aus-tralia’s interim chief executive officer, said the firm has a “rea-sonably strong” balance sheet and continues to explore an ini-tial public offering or trade sale

for its property assets. Caltex Australia has not received

any updates since then, he said in the interview yesterday.

Couche-Tard, owner of conven-ience stores, fi rst off ered to acquire Caltex Australia in October and sweetened its off er a month later to A$34.50 cash per share.

Caltex Australia rejected the

A$8.6 billion off er but gave the Ca-nadian fi rm “selected non-public information” for a revised proposal. In February, Couche-Tard boosted its off er to A$8.8 billion, which is equivalent to A$35.25 apiece in cash.

HONG KONG: For the first time since September 2004, no merger and acquisition (M&A) deal worth more than US$1 billion (RM4.38 billion) was announced worldwide last week, according to data pro-vider Refi nitiv, as Covid-19 stifl es global M&A.

Th e dearth of mega deals comes as countries worldwide have shut down large swathes of their econ-omies as they battle Covid-19 that has infected over 2.33 million people and claimed 165,000 lives.

Worldwide merger activity so

far this year is down 33% from a year ago and at US$762.6 billion is the lowest year-to-date amount for dealmaking since 2013, the data showed. Th e number of deals also fell 20% year-on-year.

“We anticipate that there may be fewer signed deals announced this quarter as parties take longer to work through the impact of Cov-id-19,” said Robert Wright of law fi rm Baker McKenzie’s Asia-Pacifi c M&A group.

“However, where parties have completed underlying due diligence processes and where there remain strong fundamentals, we do expect

to see a number of these deals to come back online.”

Companies have been walking away from announced transactions amid changed deal conditions and high levels of uncertainty. Regula-tors worldwide have also tough-ened rules for foreign investments to protect national assets.

With big deals largely put on hold as buyers wait to gauge the pandem-ic’s true impact dealmakers are seek-ing other related work on companies needing rescues, restructurings and potentially nationalisations as gov-ernments and central banks try to shore up their economies. — Reuters

NEW YORK: Wynn Resorts chief executive officer Matt Maddox on Sunday called on the Nevada governor to begin reopening the Las Vegas Strip in mid- to late-May with extensive safety measures in place, assuming the state is in line with certain benchmarks around the spread of Covid-19.

In an opinion column pub-lished on Th e Nevada Independ-ent news website, Maddox said

Las Vegas Strip called to conditionally reopen in mid- to late-May

governor Steve Sisolak should re-open parts of the local economy in early May.

“Begin with reduced occupan-cy, physical distancing measures in place, temperature checks and no large gatherings,” Maddox wrote. “We all need to wear a mask.”

He also laid out Wynn’s health and safety guidelines for reopen-ing, including allowing a max-imum of four people in an ele-vator at one time; and requiring guests to enter the resort through

doors propped open, are auto-mated or manually operated by an employee.

Sisolak ordered all casinos and other non-essential businesses in the state to close for 30 days be-ginning March 18. He extended that order until April 30, and last week said he has no specifi c date for when non-essential businesses might be allowed to reopen.

In Nevada, at least 3,725 people are confi rmed to have Covid-19 with 155 deaths. — Reuters

ZURICH: Novartis has won the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) go-ahead to conduct a ran-domised trial of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine against Cov-id-19, the Swiss drugmaker said yesterday, to see if it helps patients.

Th e decades-old generic med-icine got the FDA emergency use authorisation this month for its unapproved use for Covid-19, but so far there is no scientifi c proof that it works. Th ere are currently no approved Covid-19 medicines.

Novartis plans to start recruit-ing 440 patients for its Phase III, or late-stage trial within weeks at more than a dozen US sites. Results will be reported as soon as possi-ble, the company added.

The drug use, also approved to treat lupus and rheumatoid ar-

BENGALURU: Shake Shack Inc will return the small business loan it received from the US govern-ment, the burger chain’s chief executive offi cer (CEO) said yes-terday, making it the fi rst major fi rm to hand back money aimed at helping small businesses ride out Covid-19’s impact.

Th e company will immediately return the entire US$10 million (RM43.8 million) Small Business Administration (SBA) loan as it was able to raise additional cap-ital, CEO Randy Garutti (pic) and founder Danny Meyer said in a blog post yesterday. Last week, it raised about US$150 million in an equity off ering.

Low-paid workers in the retail, restaurant and hotel industries have been among the hardest-hit by Covid-19. Of the US$342 billion small business bailout fund, the

LONDON: British sofa retailer DFS Furniture is preparing an equity issue of up to 19.9% of its exist-ing share capital and negotiating an additional debt facility of £60 million (RM323.88 million) to £70 million to get it through the Cov-id-19 crisis.

It said yesterday the additional debt facility with its existing lend-ing banks would supplement its current facility of £250 million and cover the near-term working cap-ital unwind until sofa deliveries can resume.

Its shares were up 3.4% at 0710 GMT, paring losses for the year to 51% and valuing the business at £286 million.

DFS has also made progress re-ducing operating costs following talks with suppliers and landlords and support from the government.

thritis, has soared after being pro-moted by US President Donald Trump, with some worried the administration’s advocacy for an unproven medicine for Covid-19 has short-circuited the FDA’s over-sight process.

“We recognise the importance of answering the scientifi c ques-tion of whether hydroxychloro-quine will be beneficial for pa-tients with Covid-19,” Novartis’s top drug developer John Tsai said. “We mobilised quickly to address this question in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.”

combined industry is allocated 18% of total funds.

The SBA, a key part of the government’s US$2.2 trillion aid package, is aimed at helping small companies keep paying their em-ployees and basic bills during the shutdowns, so they will be able to reopen quickly when public health allows.

Shake Shack said the money it received could be reallocated to independent restaurants “which need it most, [and] haven’t gotten any assistance”. — Reuters

As a result, its mitigated oper-ating cash outfl ow is expected at less than £14 million per month until its showrooms, manufactur-ing and distribution operations re-open. Th ey have been closed since March 24 in line with the national lockdown.

However, DFS’s websites have remained operational, with on-line gross sales up 20.2% over the period from March 25 to April 17, growing the group’s orders to £192 million.

The DFS and Sofology trad-ing units are receiving deliveries of customer orders from Far East manufacturers, and Dwell is dis-patching parcels from its accesso-ries warehouse.

Th e group intends to restart sofa deliveries once it fi nds a safe and workable approach for two-per-son installations into customers’ homes. — Reuters

BEIJING: A top Wuhan laborato-ry offi cial has denied any role in spreading the new virus, in the highest-level response from a fa-cility at the centre of months of speculation about how the pre-viously unknown animal disease made the leap to humans.

BRUSSELS: Britain and the Euro-pean Union (EU) were to restart talks yesterday over their future relationship, with time running out to get an agreement after a six-week interruption caused by Covid-19.

Officials will meet by vid-eo-conference for a full week of discussions, their first since the inaugural round in Brussels at the start of the March. Shortly after that meeting, David Frost and Michel Barnier, the two sides’ chief negotiators, were forced into isolation after showing symptoms of the virus.

They resume talks as the UK’s opposition to extending the dead-line hardens and officials say they have made little progress beyond identifying the major areas of disagreement. After leaving the EU on Jan 31, the UK has until the end of the transition period on Dec 31 to settle its future re-lationship with the bloc in key areas such as trade, security and aviation co-operation.

“There are many serious di-vergences,” Barnier said after the first round of negotiations. But “an agreement is possible — even if difficult.”

Until the end of June, either side can ask for the transition pe-

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK: Pro-tests fl ared in US states on Sun-day over stay-at-home orders while governors disputed Presi-dent Donald Trump’s claims they have enough tests for Covid-19 and should quickly reopen their economies.

An estimated 2,500 people ral-lied at the Washington state capitol in Olympia to protest Democratic governor Jay Inslee’s stay-at-home order, defying a ban on gatherings of 50 or more people.

Despite pleas from rally organis-ers to wear face coverings or masks as public health authorities recom-mend, many did not.

In Denver, hundreds of peo-ple gathered at the state capi-tol to demand the end to Colo-rado’s shutdown. As protesters clogged streets with cars, health-care workers in scrubs and face masks stood at intersections in counter-protest. Stay-at-home measures, which experts say are essential to slow the spread of the virus, have battered the US economy and more than 22 mil-lion Americans have fi led for un-employment benefi ts in the past month. — Reuters

I N BR I E FSingapore’s daily virus cases top 1,000 for the fi rst timeA surge in infections among migrant workers brings the total to more than 8,000

BY P H I L I P J H E I J M A N S

SINGAPORE: Th e number of daily Covid-19 cases here topped 1,000 for the fi rst time since the pandemic began — driven by a surge in in-fections among migrant workers — even as rival fi nancial hub Hong Kong reported no new cases.

Th e city state recorded 1,426 new cases yesterday, bringing the total number of Covid-19 infections to more than 8,000, according to a statement by the health ministry. Of the new cases, “the vast majority” are work permit holders living in foreign worker dormitories spread across the island, while 16 cases are Singaporeans or permanent residents, the ministry said.

Th e rising number of cases in these facilities, where more than 200,000 people live, has posed a challenge to Singapore’s containment strategy after accolades from health experts for its methodical virus response in the early days of the pandemic.

TOKYO: Japan is boosting its new economic stimulus package to ex-pand cash payouts to its citizen as the Covid-19 fallout threatens to push the world's third-largest economy deeper into recession.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe un-veiled the new stimulus less than two weeks after his cabinet approved an earlier plan to spend ¥108.2 tril-lion (RM4.39 trillion), which had de-tailed payouts of ¥300,000 to house-holds with sharp drops in incomes hit by the outbreak.

Abe has caved into pressure from within his own ruling bloc to boost the help with a payment of ¥100,000 for every citizen instead of ¥300,000 for limited households, analysts said, even as the new amount tri-ples the cost to ¥12 trillion from

While Covid-19 cases in the city state have soared in recent weeks — giving Singapore the most number of confi rmed infections in South-east Asia — those in Hong Kong have slowed to a crawl after a week straight of new daily cases in the single digits.

Th e Asian fi nancial hub reported zero new cases yesterday, the fi rst time it has done so since March 5. It acted early in late January and early February with restrictive social-dis-tancing measures, such as closing schools and government offi ces.

New Zealand to ease lockdown measures next week — PMBY P R AV E E N M E N O N

WELLINGTON: New Zealand will next week ease some of the world’s strictest lockdown measures taken to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said yesterday, after a month of tight restrictions slowed the spread of the disease.

The Pacific nation of five million introduced its high-est lockdown measures in late March, shutting down offi ces, schools, and all non-essential services including bars, restau-rants, cafes, and playgrounds.

It will move out of alert Level 4 next Monday, a few days longer than the sched-uled one-month lockdown, after which it will be in alert Level 3 for two weeks, Ardern said in a news conference.

“On the recommendation of the director general of health, who is confi dent there is currently no widespread undetected commu-nity transmission in New Zealand, today we are able to take a bal-anced approach in transitioning through alert levels and restarting our economy,” Ardern said.

Schools will be able to open partially up to year 10 but at-tendance will be voluntary. — Reuters

closing its borders and imposing restrictions on public movement.

While the measures have slowed the growth in new infections to fewer than 40 new cases a day, the restric-tions are expected to push unemploy-ment to a 16-year high of about 10%.

With growing calls to ease the re-strictions, leading Australian econ-omists issued an open letter to call on the government to prioritise containing the spread of the virus.

“We cannot have a functioning economy unless we fi rst compre-hensively address the public health crisis,” the group of 157 economists from Australian universities wrote.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison last week said there would no eas-ing of Australia’s restrictions for at least four weeks, and several state premiers yesterday urged the pub-lic to keep to the social-distancing rules. — Reuters

Th e nation has conduct-ed more than 100,000 tests and ramped up daily testing capac-ity to about 20,000, focused on those with suspect symptoms or contact with infected people. Th is approach is good for clinical purposes, but less so for popu-lation surveillance, according to William Aldis, formerly the World Health Organization’s (WHO) representative in Th ai-land.

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e FBM KLCI closed up 5.78 points or 0.41% at 1,413.12 yesterday with Asian share indices, after China cut its benchmark lending rate by 20 basis points to 3.85% and as investors weighed the progress in the global eff ort to curb the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, share trade across Bursa Malaysia received support from AirAsia X Bhd, AirAsia Group Bhd and MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd’s volume rise. At 5pm, Bursa saw 5.99 billion shares traded for RM3.21 billion across the exchange. Th ere were 504 gainers versus 434 decliners. On the KLCI, TA Securities Holdings Bhd wrote in a note yesterday that while short-term technical momentum has turned overbought due to last week’s index rally to a fresh five-week high, trend momentum registered significant improvement to imply potential reversal from the prior downtrend. “Meantime, further improvement in the domestic Covid-19 outbreak situation with lower daily infection rates, and hopes for gradual easing on lockdowns in global virus epicentres where infections are deemed to be peaking, should bode well for sentiment and sustain recovery momentum ahead,” TA said. Globally, it was reported that most Southeast Asian stock markets rose on yesterday, with Malaysia leading gains, as China, the region’s prime trading partner, cut a key interest rate and promised more measures to prop up an economy battered by the coronavirus pandemic. — Chong Jin Hun
