KUALA LUMPUR: A few more large contributions have been pledged to The Edge Covid-19 Equipment Fund and The Edge Covid-19 Health Care Workers Support Fund, bringing the total donations from Corporate Malay-sia to RM23.775 million.

The equipment fund has RM13.775 million pledged, while the health care workers’ fund has reached RM10 million.

Among the new contributors were Lee Foundation (States of Malaya) with RM1.3 million — RM500,000 to buy equipment and RM800,000 to support frontline healthcare workers who fall sick.

Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Kel-uarga Bhd split its RM500,000 aid between the two funds, while Hiap Teck Venture Bhd pledged RM500,000 for the equipment fund.

Takaful Malaysia Keluarga group chief executive offi cer Da-tuk Seri Mohamed Hassan Kamil said: “As an insurance company, we truly understand how devastat-ing the impact can be in delivering the medical services needed by the communities as there would defi -nitely be a direct fi nancial impact in battling against the Covid-19 outbreak, which has caused dis-ruptions worldwide. Despite the challenging business environment caused by the outbreak, we are privileged and honoured to step forward by making the donation to both funds administered by The Edge Media Group. This is the least we could do in providing fi nancial assistance to our health-care workers.

Another big contribution of RM315,000 to the equipment fund came from a group of present and past partners of PriceWaterhouse-Coopers (PWC).

PWC spokesman Raja Tan Sri Arshad Raja Tun Uda said: “Our frontline healthcare workers have done so much for our country, and we want to help ensure they are well protected and equipped by contributing to Th e Edge Covid-19 Equipment Fund.”

The Edge has since March 30 started delivering one million face masks and 35.000 personal protection suits in stages to more than 30 hospitals throughout the country.

The Edge Media Group pub-lisher and group CEO Datuk Ho Kay Tat said orders were made a week ago for 140 ventilators and 100 oxygen concentrators and they are expected to be sent to hospitals from early next week.

“We have just ordered 5,000 face shields from a local manufactur-er who has promised they will be ready in two weeks,” said Ho. “Once again I want to thank Corporate Malaysia for their generosity dur-ing these trying times.”

Sapura Energy says discussing with banks to refi nance borrowings

KUALA LUMPUR: Sapura Energy Bhd says it is in discussions with banks to refi nance the oil and gas support services provider’s bor-rowings and that these lenders are supportive of the company’s refi -nancing plans.

In an email reply to queries from Th e Edge Financial Daily yesterday, a Sapura Energy representative said the company expects to complete the refi nancing exercise this year.

“Yes, we are in discussion with our relationship banks on a refi -nancing of our borrowings. Th is has always been our plan, post completion of the rights issue and strategic partnership with OMV last year, where we had successfully re-duced our borrowings. Banks are supportive (of) the refi nancing and we expect to complete the exercise this year,” the representative said.

She said Sapura Energy will announce its results for the fourth quarter (4QFY20) and full year ended Jan 31, 2020 (FY20) in April 2020. Ahead of the results an-nouncement, she said Sapura Energy’s asset impairment review is a normal process, before fi nal-

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian man-ufacturers appeared to be the least impacted in March 2020 as operat-ing conditions across Asean dete-riorated markedly as the Covid-19 pandemic led to a collapse of cli-ent demand and disrupted supply chains, according to the latest IHS Markit Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data.

In a note yesterday, IHS Markit said Asean manufacturers report-ed their worst month on record in March as operating conditions de-teriorated at the sharpest pace since the survey began in July 2012 amid record declines of output, new or-ders, inventories and employment.

“Th e headline PMI fell from 50.2 in February to 43.4 in March, to sig-nal a renewed deterioration in the health of the Asean manufacturing sector.

“Moreover, the figure was the lowest in the survey’s near eight-year history and indicative of a marked downturn. All of the survey indi-cators hit a record low, with sub-

M’sia least impacted as Asean manufacturers report their worst month on record in March

stantial rates of decline reported for output and total new orders,” IHS Markit said.

A reading above 50 indicates an overall increase compared to the previous month while a reading below 50 shows an overall decrease.

Malaysia’s Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.4 in March, from 48.5 in February.

“At the country level, deterio-rations were reported in each of the seven constituent countries. Th e downturn was most marked in Singapore, with the headline fi gure slipping a record 18.1 points from February to 27.7, the lowest in the series near eight-year history.

“Th e Philippines also registered a deterioration in March, with the headline index (39.7) posting below the 50.0 no-change mark for the fi rst time since the survey began January 2016.

“Elsewhere, Vietnam recorded a back-to-back contraction, with the headline index falling to the lowest on record at 41.9 in March, and sig-nalling a steep decline in the health of the manufacturing sector.

“Myanmar registered a deterio-ration in operating conditions for the second month running. The headline fi gure (45.3) was the lowest since the survey began in December 2015, amid record contractions in output, new orders and inventories.”

Concurrently, Indonesia re-turned to contractionary territory following an expansion in February.

March’s headline fi gure (45.3) was an all-time low and signalled a solid deterioration in the health of the sector.

Th ailand too recorded a marked decline in operating conditions, amid quicker falls in both produc-tion and new orders.

Th e headline index (46.7) was also a record low.

“Finally, Malaysia’s downturn continued during March, with oper-ating conditions deteriorating at the steepest rate since September 2019. Th at said, the decline was only mild overall,” IHS Markit said.

IHS Markit economist Lewis Cooper said Asean manufacturers felt the full force of the Covid-19 pandemic in March.

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e country’s two largest plantation groups — FGV Holdings Bhd and Sime Dar-by Plantation Bhd (SDP) — are pleading for the Sabah state govern-ment’s understanding of the tough situation that the oil palm estate owners are facing in the state as a result of shutting down operations in the state.

Th e state’s decision resulted in the shutdown of palm oil opera-tions in a total of six Sabah districts, which account for 75% of the state’s crude palm oil (CPO) production. Th is is likely to result in fresh fruit bunches (FFB) rotting on the trees due to the delay in harvesting at the estates.

Th e six areas are Tawau, Lahad Datu, Kinabatangan, Kalabakan, Semporna and Kunak.

FFB har vesting happens throughout the year, typically it reaches its peak around the third quarter.

FGV yesterday added its voice to concerns raised by the Malay-sian Palm Oil Association (MPOA) and the Malaysian Estate Owner Association (MEOA) over a recent decision by the Sabah state govern-ment to close palm oil operations in

three additional districts in Sabah.In a statement yesterday, FGV

said it understands the state gov-ernment’s concerns about the in-creasing cases of Covid-19 in Sabah, but it is also concerned about the social impact of the closure.

The plantation giant, which owns estate in Sabah, pointed out that the palm oil industry was rec-ognised as an essential service, all operations related to the industry need to be continued to avoid worse fi nancial and social implications.

“FGV also takes into account the welfare of 871 families in Felda Sahabat and 776 families in Fekl-da Umas, whose incomes will be aff ected as a result of the closure.

“FGV hopes that the Sabah state government will deliberate MPOA’s views and reconsider the decision,” it said.

Likewise, SDP is also backing the concerns raised by the MPOA and MEOA about the closure of palm oil operations in three additional districts in Sabah.

SDP said it appreciates and un-derstands that Covid-19 is being prioritised by the state government. However, it also believes that the initiative on containment needs to be balanced with considerations to not jeopardise industries rec-ognised by the National Security Council (NSC) as essential to avoid

potentially adverse and severe im-plications arising from the decision.

“We are hopeful that the state government of Sabah will take the MPOA’s concerns into account and reconsider its decision.

“Th is is in line with the NSC’s move to allow palm oil companies to continue limited parts of their operations deemed essential by strictly adhering to the conditions and operational guidelines as spec-ifi ed by the NSC,” SDP said.

Sabah is the largest state in terms of palm oil production, contributing 25% of 2019’s production.

When contacted by The Edge Financial Daily, MIDF Research

Analyst Khoo Zhen Ye said the shut-down will result in lower CPO out-put during the MCO as fewer FFB are being harvested.

“Meanwhile, the delay in collect-ing the ripe FFB after the lockdown might lead to lower CPO quality as well.

“Th is is mainly predicated on the possible lower CPO yield as caused by the lower quality of the late-harvested FFB,” he said.

UOB Kay Hian forecast that the loss of CPO production from these areas could be as high as 240,000 tonnes a month or 18% to 20% of Malaysian monthly production – translating into a 2% loss to Ma-

laysia’s CPO production in 2020.Hap Seng Plantations Holdings

Bhd, Genting Plantations Bhd, Kua-la Lumpur Kepong Bhd (KLK), Kim Loong Resources Bhd and IOI Corp Bhd would be the most aff ected.

Th at said, Hap Seng would see the highest impact with 26% of earnings at 95% of their estates are in the aff ected areas.

Plantation companies would still remain profi table if CPO prices average at RM2,400 a tonne with 5% lower FFB production and 15% higher cost of production.

In a note on Tuesday, CGS-CIMB Research opined that the addition-al two-week closure will result in a drop of 132,000 tonnes or 9% of Malaysia’s monthly CPO output.

“Th is will likely cut the palm oil inventory fi gure for end-April and will be positive for CPO prices in the near-term, benefi tting planters that are not aff ected by the shutdown.

“Th e earnings of upstream palm oil producers with exposure to Sa-bah estates are likely to be hardest hit by this directive as estate costs are mostly fi xed and the loss in revenue will mostly fl ow through to earnings,” said Ng and Ravi. Th ey added that this will negatively impact cash fl ows of planters and millers and result in potentially undeliverable com-mitments if planters have sold their crops forward.

The state’s decision resulted in the shutdown of palm oil operations in six Sabah districts. The six areas are Tawau, Lahad Datu, Kinabatangan, Kalabakan, Semporna and Kunak.

ising the 4QFY20 results.“Th e impairment review is an-

nually done as part of our nor-mal process before fi nalising the 4QFY20 results, the outcome of which will be made known when we announce our results by end of April,” she said.

CGS-CIMB Securities Sdn Bhd analyst Raymond Yap wrote in a note yesterday that Sapura Energy will need bankers’ support to con-tinue operating as a going concern and that potentially, large asset impairments are on the horizon for the company.

“Sapura Energy had RM17bn in borrowings originally, which were reduced to RM10 billion in Jan 2019, using part of the pro-ceeds from the rights issue of new shares and preference shares. Of this RM10 billion, RM1.6 billion are revolving credits which need not be repaid immediately. Th is leaves RM8.4 billion, of which RM6.4 billion is to be repaid in a calendar year (CY) 23F bullet, and the remainder of RM2 billion to be repaid in CY21F, CY22F and CY23F, but the repayment breakdown for each year has not been disclosed by the company,” Yap said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e ministry of domestic trade and consum-er aff airs announced yesterday permits for food and healthcare companies to operate during the movement control order (MCO) has been extended to April 14 after the government decided to continue the MCO to curb the Covid-19 pandemic.

Th e MCO, initially sched-uled between March 18 and 31, requires non-essential businesses to stop operations while the public has been or-dered to stay at home to curb the virus outbreak.

Last Wednesday, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the government decided to extend the MCO by 14 days mainly because updates from the National Security Council (NSC) and ministry of health indicated an increase in Covid-19 cases.

The domestic trade and consumer affairs ministry said in a statement that the permit extension is also given to food and healthcare com-panies to put their machinery and equipment on standby.

Th e ministry however said business operating hours during the MCO is subject to other instructions from the NSC, state governments and local authorities.

Food, healthcare fi rms can operate until April 14

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e ministry of health (MoH) is working to-gether with the National Security Council (NSC) on a software to predict the geographic spread of Covid-19 infections to help com-bat the pandemic.

Also involved in the collabo-ration is the ministry of science, technology and innovation and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), Health director-gen-eral Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Ab-dullah told reporters yesterday.

“For example, we know there is a spike of cases in Simpang Renggam, [and] we know there is a spike of cases in Sg Lui, so it helps us to take fast action,” he said, adding that the second phase of the movement control order (MCO) — from yesterday to April 14 — will focus on eff orts to address the outbreak in those hotspots.

“Once we have identifi ed the hotspots, and if there is actually an exponential increase in cases [there], we will probably impose an enhanced MCO in that area.”

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minis-ter Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has taken over from Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as chairman of the board of directors of Khazanah Nasional Bhd eff ective immediately.

In a statement yesterday, the sov-ereign wealth fund said Dr Mahathir had stepped down as chairman and member of the board on March 25.

Khazanah also announced the appointment of Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Aziz and Datuk Mohammed Azlan Hashim as board members. Mohammed Azlan is currently non-executive

chairman of IHH Healthcare Bhd. He previously served as executive chairman of the then Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Group from 1998 to 2004 and in various other senior management roles, including at Bumiputra Merchant Bankers Bhd and Amanah Capital Malaysia Bhd.

“Th eir respective appointments were announced by the fi nance min-istry today (yesterday) and are eff ec-tive immediately. Khazanah looks forward to working with the new-ly-reconstituted board in delivering on our mandate as the sovereign wealth fund of Malaysia,” it added.

Mohammed Azlan’s appoint-ment marks his return to Khazanah after nearly two years. In July 2018, Mohammed Azlan, former Khaz-anah managing director Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar and seven other directors had tendered their resig-nations after reaching a unanimous decision that Dr Mahathir’s Paka-tan Harapan coalition government, which won the May 9, 2018 gener-al election, should determine the fund’s new leadership structure.

Th e others were Tan Sri Raja Ar-shad Raja Tun Uda, Tan Sri Andrew Sheng Len Tao, Datuk Seri Nazir

Razak, Datuk Dr Nirmala Menon and Yeo Kar Peng.

Dr Mahathir had previous-ly lamented that Khazanah, the country’s strategic investment fund, which he set up in 1994 when he was prime minister for the first time, had deviated from its origi-nal intention of holding shares for bumiputeras.

He claimed that Khazanah had instead become a convenient vehi-cle for the previous government to reward politicians and non-profes-sionals with positions and lucrative compensation packages.

“Of the [total] cases, 102 are in the intensive care unit, with 66 of them requiring respiratory assistance,” Dr Noor Hisham said in a statement.

Selangor, he added, recorded 22 new cases and remains the state with the most infections with 726 cases, followed by Kuala Lumpur (up 25 cas-es to 455), Johor (up 19 cases to 368), and Sabah (up three cases to 209).

Yinson’s Ghana FPSO job called off as oil price drops Analysts, however, are still positive on the company

KUALA LUMPUR: Wan Razly Ab-dullah Wan Ali (pic) has been appointed chief executive officer (CEO) of Affin Bank Bhd, effec-tive April 2, 2020.

He will replace Kamarul Arif-fin Mohd Jamil, who com-pleted his contract on March 31.

“Th e board of direc-tors and management of Affin Bank express its utmost appreciation and gratitude to Kamarul Ariffi n for his leadership and contributions to the bank and wish him well in his future

endeavours,” the bank said in a statement.

The Edge Financial Daily re-ported yesterday that Wan Razly was touted to be Kamarul Arif-fin’s successor, with three sources telling the daily that he was the leading candidate.

Wan Razly was chief fi nan-cial offi cer of CIMB Group Holdings Bhd’s Indone-sian subsidiary PT Bank CIMB Niaga Tbk for a dec-ade, before returning to Malaysia last year, where he assumed the position of regional head of consum-

er strategic busi-ness man-

agement at CIMB.

He began his career at Price-waterhouseCoopers, London in 1995, after which he joined Northern Trust, London in 1999 to manage its audit services de-partment.

In its Feb 24 issue, The Edge Malaysia weekly reported that Kamarul Ariffin would soon be leaving Affin Bank.

Citing sources, it also said there would be a new group man-aging director at Affin Hwang Capital to replace Datuk Mai-moonah Hussain, who retired in November 2019. The candi-date is expected to be an external candidate.

It is understood that the bank wants to bring in new people and ideas to move the bank forward.

KUALA LUMPUR: A chartered cargo plane carrying medical supplies and e-commerce goods took off from Hangzhou Interna-tional Airport in China yesterday, becoming the inaugural fl ight of a new dedicated cargo route between Hangzhou and now.

Operated by the Cainiao Smart Logistics Network, Ali-baba Group’s logistics arm, the Hangzhou-Kuala Lumpur route would operate fi ve fl ights a week.

Cainiao’s senior expert in ex-port division Yang Haiming said to enable a more inclusive global trade, the route connected Hang-zhou — the home of Alibaba and Kuala Lumpur — the fi rst overseas Alibaba-led Electronic World Trade Platform (eWTP).

“The growing volume of cross-border e-commerce calls for a regular route between the two countries,” he said in a state-ment yesterday, adding that the fl ight would also be loaded with goods on the way back to China which the company believed would boost exports from South-east Asian countries to China.

Meanwhile, Transport Minis-ter Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said the government and Alibaba Group have been working closely to drive local small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) e-commerce export under the Digital Free Trade Zone initiative to support a more inclusive global trade, in line with Alibaba’s vision under the eWTP.

“Th e eWTP regional eFul-filment hub at KLIA Aer-opolis, together with the newly-launched dedicated cargo route, will help boost the cross-border e-commerce trade as well as advancing the growth of the logistics industry in Malaysia,” he said.

He said these would enable the local SMEs and logistics in-dustry to participate in the global e-commerce trade and establish Malaysia as a hub for the region.

“The synergy among the eWTP hubs will enable Lazada, Alibaba’s fl agship e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, to empower even more sellers on its platform to take part in glob-al trade while also elevating the shopping experience of its cus-tomers in the region,” he said. — Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: Yinson Hold-ings Bhd announced the cancel-lation of a long-term floating pro-duction storage offloading (FPSO) vessel charter job in Ghana val-ued at over US$2 billion (RM8.7 billion).

The termination of the FPSO Pecan project by client Aker En-ergy Ghana Ltd came less than two months after a letter of intent (LoI) was awarded to Yinson in February.

Aker Energy suspended the project until further notice in view of the uncertain, volatile and low oil price environment presently, and has yet to set a date for the project to resume.

Analysts are, however, still positive on Yinson, noting its 30% share price decline in March as being oversold, as well as the low breakeven costs estimated for its current and upcoming pro-jects particularly in Nigeria and Brazil.

“As per the LoI, Yinson will still be paid ‘agreed retainer fees’ on a monthly basis for works associat-ed with this job should the signing be delayed beyond the Septem-ber signing date,” said Maybank IB Research analyst Liaw Thong Jung in a note.

CGS-CIMB analyst Raymond Yap wrote in his research note that Yinson may be luckier in Brazil, where breakeven costs are said to be under US$10/barrel (bbl). This compares with FPSO Pecan which has a project-ed breakeven cost above US$40/bbl.

Currently, Yinson is bidding for one project in Brazil under Petrobras SA (FPSO Parque das Baleias (PDB)). This is on top of the US$5.4 billion FPSO Marlim-2 time charter in Brazil with Petro-bras.

To be sure, FPSO Abigail Jo-seph, which is expected to begin operation in Nigeria this June, also has low breakeven costs, ac-cording to reports.

Yinson’s share price reflects some contract cancellationsOn Yinson’s current share price, CGS-CIMB’s Yap explained that the market has not just excluded new project wins, but also priced in the potential impact of low oil prices on ongoing projects as well.

He pointed to three existing contracts that could be impacted by low oil prices: FPSO Helang in Sarawak, and FPSO Bien Dong and FPSO Lam Son in Vietnam.

Removing the three FPSO pro-jects as well as the potential win of FPSO PDB would value Yinson at RM5.14 apiece, Yap said.

“It must be said that rene-gotiation or termination of the FPSO Bien Dong, FPSO Lam Son or FPSO Helang does not mean that these contracts have zero value,” said Yap.

“In our view, Yinson’s share price is too low relative to its strong management team, robust risk mitigation policies, and valu-able contracts on hand,” he said.

Still, looking back at the past

one year, this is the second time that Yinson’s contract has been cancelled due to external factors.

I n S e p t e m b e r 2 0 1 9 , i t s 49%-owned joint venture in Vi-etnam for a charter contract worth US$1 billion over a 15-year pe-riod was terminated due to the Vietnam-China maritime border dispute. For that job, Yinson re-ceived full compensation as well.

“It’s a big deal [the FPSO Pecan termination], although the share price has already priced this in,” said an analyst covering the sector.

“The bigger risks are the Brazil jobs (Marlim-2 and PDB),” said the analyst. While FPSO PDB has not been priced in by investors, the same cannot be said for FPSO Marlim-2, which is slated to op-erate from 2023 onwards.

Certainly Yinson’s contract structure, with clauses in place to safeguard against premature contract termination, and pro-ject-financing debt structure, combined with strong partners, puts investors at ease.

KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Group Holdings Bhd’s Wan Razly Abdul-lah is said to be the top contender for the chief executive offi cer (CEO) post at Affin Bank Bhd, sources said.

Affin Bank’s current CEO, Kamarul Ariffin Mohd Jamil, is leaving the bank after fi ve years in its driver’s seat. According to sources, his contract expires today.

At least three sources told th-eedgemarkets.com that Wan Ra-zly is expected to be his successor. One said the appointment was still pending Bank Negara Malaysia’s approval.

“If all goes well, he is expected to come in sometime in the middle of the year,” the source said.

As at the time of writing, Affi n Bank did not respond to requests for comment.

KUALA LUMPUR: Palm oil and property player Keck Seng (M) Bhd (KSM) said its hotel opera-tions in the US and Canada have temporarily closed, following the enforcement of citywide lock-downs.

“In line with the directive, the operations of DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Alana — Waikiki Beach (Hawaii), SpringHill Suites New York Midtown Manhattan

(New York) and Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto Airport and Con-ference Centre (Toronto) are tem-porarily suspended until further notice,” it said.

Back home, KSM said its Tan-jong Puteri Golf Resort in Johor was also aff ected, but it will con-tinue to service guests who were staying at the resort prior to the imposition of the movement con-trol order (MCO).

However, all non-essential re-sort services and facilities have

been suspended in accordance with the MCO.

In a fi ling with Bursa Malaysia, the group said it is currently un-known when operations will re-sume and forecasts that its hotels and resort division may require fi nancial support from the group following its reduced earnings.

“Th e rapid development and fl u-idity of this situation preclude any prediction as to its ultimate impact, which will have a continued adverse eff ect on economic and market con-

ditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown.

“Given the evolving circumstanc-es, it is not possible for the company to quantify or determine the extent of the impact on its business and fi -nancial position. Th e company will undertake appropriate measures to mitigate the impact from the current situation and any developments.

Shares in KSM fell seven sen, or 1.96%, to close at RM3.50, giving it a total market capitalisation of RM1.26 billion.

Banks in Malaysia well capitalised to withstand asset quality stressTh ey remain resilient amid Covid-19, plunging oil prices — RAM

KUALA LUMPUR: RAM Rating Ser-vices Bhd (RAM Ratings) says its analysis shows that banks operating in Malaysia are well positioned to weather looming asset quality chal-lenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and plunging oil prices.

This is based on its Bank-ing Scoreboard, which serves as peer comparisons of key Malay-sian banks as it juxtaposes the 16 largest commercial banks in the country. Th e banks are assessed and ranked based on more than 25 metrics, from asset quality to profi tability, funding, liquidity and capitalisation.

“Th e Banking Scoreboard shows that the asset quality of banks re-mains resilient amidst the weaker macroeconomic backdrop. Public Bank, Hong Leong Bank and Citib-ank stayed in the top three spots in terms of gross impaired loan (GIL) ratio, with all three banks reporting a commendable GIL ratio of less than 1% as at end-September 2019.

“Th e former two continued to see prudent and disciplined un-derwriting standards paying off while the latter benefitted from changes in impaired loan classifi -cation policy to be in line with in-dustry norms,” RAM Ratings said in a statement yesterday.

It also noted that the common equity tier-1 (CET-1) capital ratios

KUALA LUMPUR: Kenanga Invest-ment Bank Bhd (KIBB) is selling off its wholly-owned Libra Invest Bhd, which it had stripped down for consolidation with its asset man-agement arm towards the end of last year, for RM10.75 million.

Libra Invest — formerly the fund management arm of ECM Libra Financial Group Bhd that KIBB acquired for RM50.6 mil-lion in July last year — is sold to Ericsenz Partners Sdn Bhd, according to KIBB in a stock ex-change fi ling yesterday.

Following a business transfer process completed in late No-vember — whereby certain assets, liabilities and undertakings were transferred to KIBB’s asset man-agement arm, Kenanga Investors Bhd — KIBB’s cost of investment in Libra Invest was reduced from RM50.6 million to RM15.6 million.

Subsequently, Libra Invest was left with assets under man-agement of about RM3 million, and two staff members — in-cluding a licensed fund man-ager. It remains a licensed fund management company involved in the management of unit trust funds and the provision of fund management services.

KUALA LUMPUR: Loss-mak-ing Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd (BHIC) has appoint-ed Sharifuddin Md Zaini Al-Manaf as its chief executive offi cer (CEO) with immediate eff ect.

His appointment follows the resignation of its former CEO Ee Teck Chee on Jan 31 for personal reasons.

Over the past two months, BHIC’s executive committee has temporarily performed the functions of CEO.

Sharifuddin has held vari-ous roles in the upstream and downstream segments of the oil and gas industry including at Shell Malaysia.

“His last position was Shell Bitumen business manager for Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. He has covered off -shore production operations,

crude oil trading, sales, supply chain management and various others,” BHIC said in an exchange fi ling yesterday.

Prior to BHIC, Sharifuddin spent four years at Orkim Sdn Bhd, an investee company of gov-ernment-owned private equity fi rm Ekuiti Nasional Bhd. Orkim is the leading oil tanker owner and operator in Malaysia, with vessels serving the region includ-ing Japan.

Sharifuddin will have his work cut out for him as BHIC has been in the red over the last few years.

For the fi nancial year end-ed Dec 31, 2019,

its net loss wid-ened to RM116.6 m i l l i o n f ro m RM108.3 million for the preceding year as revenue

of all the banks in its sample were above 12% as at end-September 2019, which is signifi cantly higher than the minimum regulatory requirement of 7% and the more stringent capi-tal requirements imposed on those designated as domestic systemical-ly important banks (Maybank and CIMB: 8%; Public Bank: 7.5%).

It has also examined how Islamic banks compare against one anoth-er using its Islamic banking score-board. Th e scoreboard indicates that HSBC Amanah, Public Islamic and Hong Leong Islamic reported much higher shares of retail deposits rela-tive to peers, refl ective of the banks’

strong consumer focus.“Islamic banks belonging to larg-

er banking groups have a great-er proportion of retail deposits to total customer deposits when jux-taposed with stand-alone Islamic banks. Aiding this is the ability of these entities to leverage on the extensive branch networks and other distribution channels of their conventional parents.

“As part of larger banking groups, the banks are also able to draw on strong parental funding support in the form of restricted profi t sharing investment accounts and interbank funding,” RAM Ratings added.

KUALA LUMPUR: Wong Engineering Corp Bhd (WEC) is injecting RM15.75 million into its substantial shareholder Ong Yoong Nyock’s company, Broad-way Lifestyle Sdn Bhd (BLSB), to fa-cilitate a land deal that would pave the way for real estate development.

In a bourse fi ling, WEC said it is taking up a 35% stake in BLSB for RM875,000, and is putting another RM14.87 million into the company via a preference share subscription.

Yoong Nyock — who made an unconditional mandatory takeover off er in 2016 — and his son Wei Kuan each holds a 50% stake in BLSB.

It is worth noting that WEC chief executive offi cer Yong Loy Huat is brother-in-law of Yoong Nyock, who is also founder and managing director of Tiong Nam Logistics Holdings Bhd.

Th e other parties subscribing to shares in BLSB are Harn Len Corp Bhd and Tan Woon Chay.

Wong Engineering Corp injects RM15.75m into substantial shareholder’s company for land buy

Once the corporate exercise is complete, Yoong Nyock will own a 52.7% stake in BLSB, while WEC will own a 35% stake.

Meanwhile, Harn Len will have a 10% interest in BLSB, whereas the remaining 2.3% stake will be held by Tan.

WEC said the main purpose of the share subscription is to facilitate the completion of a land purchase by BLSB in Dengkil.

On Oct 21, 2019, the company entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with Permata Realty Sdn Bhd to buy a piece of leasehold industrial land for RM87.82 million.

However, on March 10, the SPA became unconditional as BLSB could not pay the full amount.

As such, BLSB intends to fi nance the land consideration through a combination of RM70.26 million in bank borrowings and RM7.57 million in cash.

Th e company is currently in the

midst of procuring credit facilities and WEC will not be required to provide any corporate guarantee to BLSB.

Meanwhile, the cash will be raised from the subscription of 2.5 million of the company’s new shares and 22.5 million of its preference shares.

“Th e board is of the view that the proposed subscription provides an opportune platform for WEC to participate in the development of the subject land and, in turn, allows WEC to enjoy a share of profi t in BLSB moving forward.”

WEC added that the company’s participation in the land develop-ment through an associate company reduced its business risk exposure.

Upon completion of the SPA, BLSB will become the owner of the land, which is adjacent to three on-going industrial park developments.

According to WEC, BLSB intends to develop industrial factories and warehouses on the site, but said plans were still preliminary at this juncture.

Th e proposed disposal is expect-ed to book KIBB a pro forma gain of RM4.21 million, and is expected to be completed by the early third quarter of 2020. Proceeds from the disposal will be used for the group’s working capital requirement.

"Th e business transfer was orig-inally intended to streamline KIB Group’s business structure while retaining Libra Invest and its li-cence to facilitate KIB’s potential strategic plan to venture into dig-ital services. Notwithstanding that, KIB had subsequently received the off er from the purchaser to acquire Libra Invest. Th e board of KIB, hav-ing deliberated the off er, is of the opinion that the off er is reasonable and is in the best interest of KIB in view of the implied valuation," KIBB said.

KIB inked a conditional share purchase agreement yesterday with Ericsenz Partners to eff ect the dis-posal. Its sole shareholder, Eric Oh, is the founder and shareholder of Ericsenz Capital Pte Ltd, a fund manager licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

KIBB shares closed one sen or 2.6% higher at 40 sen yesterday, giving it a market capitalisation of RM279.48 million.

A patient’s duty is to be honestOmitting information from a healthcare professional may lead to dire consequences

BY R A J A E I L E E N S O R AYA & C H EO N G J U N K I D

“IT was the best of times, it was the worst of times … ”

Th e Covid-19 pandemic is dom-inating every form of media report-ing. Quite rightly so. The virus is spreading like a bush fi re in a dry landscape.

As we are overwhelmed by the amount of information coming through, one news report gave food for thought: “Singapore threatens coronavirus patients with jail if they don’t tell offi cials where they have been.” As the rest of the world treats their Covid-19 patients, Singapore speaks about criminal prosecution against ill people. On the face of it, it seems unthinkable.

An infected couple were charged in February this year with lying to health authorities in Singapore who were investigating whether they had passed the illness to others. If con-victed, they face penalties of up to six months in jail, a maximum fi ne of S$10,000 (RM30,400), or both per charge under the nation’s Infectious Diseases Act 1976.

Th e legal duty of candour is com-monly associated with the obliga-tion of a medical practitioner to be open and honest with patients when something goes wrong. In countries like the UK, the legal duty was introduced through statute in 2014. Malaysia has no similar stat-ute. Th e Malaysian Medical Council does, however, make the duty to be truthful and honest an ethical ob-ligation for medical practitioners.

A medical practitioner who com-mits errors in the course of man-agement of his patient must avoid concealing them from the patient or those in authority and must re-cord such events in the patient re-cords/notes. It is unethical for the practitioner not to be truthful and honest in such an event.

Th e current situation has now highlighted the alternative perspec-tive: What if the patient has not been honest or candid?

A study in the Journal of the Amer-

ican Medical Association in 2018 re-vealed that as many as 81.1% of all patients lie or withhold information from their healthcare providers. It is perhaps partly understandable. Hu-man beings do not want to be judged. Th ere may also be a lack of desire to hear about their poor choices or their true health status.

Omitting information from a healthcare professional may, how-ever, lead to dire consequences. Without a proper and full medical history, a diagnosis may not be made or may be delayed. An omission to fully disclose relevant medical his-tory may allow a healthcare profes-sional, who has been sued, to claim contributory negligence, or provide a complete defence to a claim in some circumstances.

In MacKey v Greenview Hospital, Inc. 587 S.W.2d 249 (1979), it was held that the claimant was under a duty to exercise ordinary care for her own safety in giving her medical history. Mrs Clark failed to disclose that she suff ered from heart disease and that she had been taking Lasix, a medi-

cation used to treat fl uid build-up due to heart failure, liver scarring or kidney disease. Trusting this infor-mation, the medical practitioners proceeded with the biopsy. During the procedure, Mrs Clark suff ered car-diac arrest, which ultimately caused irreversible brain damage. Th e jury found in favour of the doctors and held that since the medical practition-ers operated without the knowledge of her heart disease, they could not be found negligent.

Now, being untruthful when it comes to Covid-19 has even more dire consequences.

Such patients are putting not only themselves, but others, at risk. Healthcare professionals who need to go into self-isolation, or who be-come ill, will not be able to treat ill people. Th is will add strain to an existing stressful situation. We are regretfully already seeing this being reported in our country.

In Malaysia, Sections 10(1) and 12 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 impose an obligation on an adult to notify

the authorities and not to act in a manner likely to spread the infec-tious disease.

A failure to disclose and notify could lead to a punishable off ence under Section 24 of the act. If it is a fi rst off ence, any person found guilty may be facing imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or a fi ne or both.

Under Section 10(6) of the act, there is a statutory presumption that a person is “ ... presumed to have known of the existence of the infectious disease or to have had reason to believe that an infectious disease existed, unless he shows to the satisfaction of the court before which he is charged that he did not know and could not with reasonable diligence have obtained knowledge of the infectious disease or that he did not have reason to believe that an infectious disease existed.”

Under the Malaysian Penal Code, Sections 269 and 270 may also be in-voked for the criminal prosecution of either reckless or intentional trans-mission of an infectious disease that

has caused grievous bodily harm to others. In the UK, in Regina v Dica [2004] QB 1257, criminal prosecution was instigated for the transmission of human immunodefi ciency virus (HIV). Th e accused failed to disclose his HIV status to two women with whom he had unprotected sexual intercourse. This resulted in both women contracting the disease. Th e trial court held that the accused acted in recklessly and infl icted grievous bodily harm. Th e Court of Appeal agreed that such reckless action is punishable but ordered a retrial as the issue of whether the women con-sented to the risks of infection was in contention.

In addition to a potential crim-inal prosecution, arguably there is a common law duty of candour on the part of the infected person to fully disclose his condition.

By way of an analogy, in Her Maj-esty’s Advocate v Stephen Robert Kelly [2001] Scot HC 7, a judge in Scotland, convicted one Stephen Kelly for “recklessly injuring” his former partner by infecting her with HIV. Th e highly contagious nature of the contagion means that the possibility of a close contact get-ting infected is high. No third par-ty is more in close contact than the very healthcare professionals who are trying to keep us safe.

Th is is not a cry to criminalise all patients. Th e law is, however, there for a reason. While the outbreak has highlighted the heroism of our health-care professionals, it has also drawn attention to some failings of human-ity. Let us all be candid — healthcare professionals and patients alike.

SINGAPORE: Singapore home prices fell the most in more than three years in the fi rst quarter (1Q) as the Covid-19 outbreak slammed the economy.

Property values declined 1.2% in the three months ended March 31, according to a preliminary es-timate from the Urban Redevelop-ment Authority released yesterday. Th at is the steepest decline since a 1.5% drop in 3Q of 2016.

With the city-state limiting gatherings to a maximum of 10 people, the new social-distancing rules have also aff ected sales of some new units, with agents un-able to conduct as many viewings as they normally could. Th e num-ber of agents stationed at show

flats has also been reduced. In the resale market, some owners have also turned away potential buyers out of fear that they could pass on the virus.

Th e virus’ impact on the prop-erty market depends on how long the outbreak lasts, said Christine Sun, head of research at OrangeT-ee & Tie Pte Ltd. “Th e property market will likely keep afl oat as long as unemployment remains low and people are able to ser-vice their mortgages,” she added.

That should be made easier after Singapore’s major banks off ered to freeze mortgage pay-ments, and the government last week unveiled a second stimulus package that boosted assistance to the equivalent of 11% of gross domestic product. — Bloomberg

NEW YORK: WeWork has off ered some of its tenants half off their rent to lure them into signing longer-term leases and minimise cancellations during the pandem-ic, according to people with knowl-edge of the matter.

Some of the discounts are tar-geted at tenants in the US who are on month-to-month contracts and agree to sign on for as little as two or three months, said some of the people, who asked not to be identifi ed because they were not authorised to discuss the arrange-ments publicly.

Th e New York-based company has long used discounts to hook tenants but has been making more regular adjustments to the pro-gramme since the Covid-19 out-

break, another person said.It is unclear how widespread the

off ers are but, as of last June, more than a quarter of WeWork’s tenants were on month-to-month-leases, according to a securities fi ling.

A representative of WeWork declined to comment.

Th e Covid-19 pandemic is keep-ing large swathes of the global workforce at home and taking a heavy toll on renters of offi ce space.

Although the bulk of WeWork locations remain open, the Soft-Bank-backed company said last week that it no longer expected to hit 2020’s fi nancial targets.

It separately cut another 250 jobs last week in an ongoing ef-fort to lower expenses. WeWork competitor Knotel Inc said last Friday it would reduce headcount by half. — Bloomberg

SHANGHAI: China Evergrande Group’s pledge to remake itself as a leaner company with a focus on controlled growth has been met with scepticism, with analysts concerned margins will suff er and others saying investors need more clarity.

China’s most indebted devel-oper unveiled a three-year plan on Tuesday titled “Growing Sales, Controlled Scale & Reduced Lev-erage”. Th e aggressive strategy in-cludes cutting total debt load by 50%, boosting sales, and trimming its land bank. Evergrande also on Tuesday reported its first fall in annual profi t in four years.

Evergrande’s new strategy “should fail to deliver sustainable quality growth”, Bloomberg Intelli-gence analysts Kristy Hung and Pat-rick Wong said. “Margins will likely suff er at the expense of volume, as an absence of housing stimulus and weak demand in low-tier cit-ies sustain the need for price cuts.”

Under the plan, Evergrande is targeting sales growth of 800 bil-lion yuan (RM491 billion) this year and one trillion yuan in 2022 while shrinking its land bank to 200 mil-lion square metres in 2022. A land bank of that size would cover just two times sales that year, hinting at “a questionable long-term growth outlook”, Hung and Wong said.

Th e property developer is curb-ing its debt-fuelled expansion in light of the government’s firm stance against housing specula-tion, founder and chairman Hui Ka Yan said during Tuesday’s me-dia briefi ng. Hui, who also wants Evergrande to become an elec-tric-vehicle powerhouse, is China’s fourth-richest person with a net worth of US$19.8 billion (RM86.13 billion), according to the Bloomb-erg Billionaires Index.

More clarityEvergrande plans to cut inter-est-bearing debt by 150 billion yuan

Singapore 1Q home prices fall most in more than three years

each year through 2022, vice pres-ident Xia Haijun said. Th e fi gure ended 2019 at 800 billion yuan, near an all-time high. After the three years, Xia said Evergrande’s gearing will be at a low to medium level in the property sector.

If realised, Evergrande’s net gearing will shrink to 30% by 2022 from 159% at the end of last year, ac-cording to Citigroup Inc and CGS-CIMB Securities analysts.

It is Evergrande’s first public pledge to cut debt levels. In a pre-vious multi-year target to pare bor-rowings, the developer ended up lowering gearing through an equity increase, while its debt load nudged higher. A borrowing binge helped Evergrande accumulate land and triple sales in just three years.

“It takes time to prove” a new strategy, Citigroup’s Griffi n Chan said. “Even if its goal could be ul-timately realisable, investors will need more clarity on earnings growth and track record on de-leveraging.”

The bank maintained its “sell” rating on the group’s Hong Kong-listed stock.

Evergrande’s non-core business-es, especially the increasingly am-bitious new energy vehicle (NEV) plan, adds risks to the company’s fi nancial profi le when combined with the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic, said Chuanyi Zhou, a credit analyst at Lucror Analytics Pte Ltd in Singapore.

Evergrande invested almost 20 billion yuan in new energy vehicle development last year, and plans another 20 billion yuan in the next two years, Hui said. Th e NEV busi-ness will see a substantial fi nancial improvement next year when mass production of 14 models kicks off , chief fi nance offi cer Pan Darong said. Th e company has not begun mass production on any model yet.

“I’m very confi dent that our cars will be popular,” Hui said. “Maybe not all 14 cars, but at least eight to 10 of them.”

Never defaultedHui also emphasised Evergrande’s focus on property as its main an-chor, with cultural tourism and healthcare as two ancillaries. He sees the high-tech new energy ve-hicle business as growth driver and said Evergrande has no plans to enter into other new business in next fi ve years.

Evergrande sought also to clear mounting doubts over its liquidity. Dollar bonds sold earlier this year are more than enough to cover off -shore notes maturing in November, Xia said. Evergrande raised US$6 bil-lion in a mega multi-tranche US-cur-rency note off ering in January.

“Evergrande has never default-ed on any bond or loan since it was founded 20 years ago, even during our worst times before listing,” Xia said. “Investors shouldn’t worry.”

Earlier this month when the fi rm’s dollar bonds plunged, Ev-ergrande wired US$2 billion to its brokerage account in preparation to repurchase some of the notes, Hui said, adding that he wanted to send a message that Evergrande is not short of cash. Th e fi rm ended up buying “a little”, he said.

Evergrande also updated inves-tors on its planned mainland A-share listing, which has been delayed for three years. Everything is “in orderly progress”, according to Xia.

Evergrande shares jumped as much as 11.5% in Hong Kong trade. Th e fi rm’s 8.75% dollar bonds due 2025 slipped slightly to 70.3 cents on the dollar. Th ey touched a re-cord-low 54.6 cents on March 19. Its 8% dollar notes due in June last traded close to par at 97.7 cents.

Evergrande “still needs time to prove its willingness and capability to achieve” its stated strategy, Iris Chen, a credit desk analyst with No-mura Holdings Inc, said. “It might enter into a forced deleveraging stage due to its tight liquidity, but the extent of deleveraging will large-ly depend on its presales and cash collections.” — Bloomberg

Planned buying on the riseCovid-19 changes shopping habits drastically — survey

BY S C H A N D R AVAT H A N I

BY H A F I Z YAT I M

KUALA LUMPUR: A survey by Brandwatch, a leading social in-telligence company, revealed that shopping habits have changed dras-tically due to the Covid-19 pan-demic, as respondents seem to be more forward-thinking, planning ahead and adding more shopping bags per trip.

The study, which involved 8,094 people from Australia, Chi-na, France, Germany, Spain, Ita-ly, the UK and the US, found that respondents are buying more dry food such as pasta and rice than they normally would.

Th is is followed by fresh fruits and vegetables, soap and other cleaning products, frozen and canned food, bottled water, toilet paper, pet food and medicines.

Respondents from Australia

KUALA LUMPUR: Law fi rms ex-periencing a sharp drop in busi-ness following the implemen-tation of the movement control order (MCO) have called on the government to help them stay open.

Rafi que Rashid Ali, an estab-lished criminal lawyer of the Sel-angor Bar, told Th e Edge Financial Daily that legal fi rms pay about RM100,000 to RM150,000 a month in employees’ wages for peons, secretaries and senior lawyers.

“With the MCO introduced in this war against Covid-19, legal fi rms are also vastly aff ected as some fi rms are grappling to keep afl oat. With no end into the devas-tating eff ects of the invisible ene-my, fi rms need to see out the MCO with no work and still pay their obligations like salaries, rent and other bills,” said Rafi que.

“Th e [RM250 billion] stimulus package seems to have overlooked the fact that professional small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and businesses also contribute heav-ily to the nation's coff ers. Why is it then that legal fi rms, and oth-er [professionals] like architects, doctors and even engineers are missed out?” he asked.

Rafi que asked whether banks and other financial institutions would come forward to help sup-port these professionals or wheth-er the government would relook this issue.

He said the Malaysian Bar has been sounding the government on this important issue, as these fi rms employ many people who would be aff ected if they had to close.

“Just like any other business,

legal fi rms must also be assisted. Th e government must engage with the Bar [on] this,” Rafi que said.

On this matter, Malaysian Bar president Salim Bashir in a state-ment called on the government to look into the plight of SMEs as the nationwide MCO until April 14 has impacted national commerce and the economic feasibility of SMEs across the board. Th ese include the majority of law fi rms in Malaysia.

“Upon examination of the stim-ulus package, it appears that the Prihatin package might only be beneficial for B40 (bottom 40% income group) citizens, and also for a sliver of the M40 (middle 40%) group. Th e provisions made for law fi rms are wholly insuffi cient.

“Th e domino eff ect of the MCO period on the economy requires much stronger support from the government in bolstering law fi rms. Th ere are liabilities to meet, as well as salaries and bills to pay. Even prior to the MCO, several le-gal fi rms were already facing dire fi nancial situations, and have had to dip into their reserves,” added Salim.

He said the Malaysian Bar would therefore welcome additional fund-ing as a special relief facility for law fi rms, instead of the existing mere off erings of further options for in-creased debt burdens.

He said initiatives such as mi-crocredit schemes and loan defer-ments, will not do much to help law fi rms in the long run.

“It is unreasonable to expect law fi rms to take on such debts without the necessary sustainable income. Th e Malaysian Bar also urges the government to instead provide interest-free grants and special funds [to] law fi rms, and

calls on the government to per-suade Bank Negara Malaysia, as well as fi nancial institutions, to waive or reduce interest rates on loans, for the relevant duration of the loan deferments.”

“Th e government is also urged to consider subsidising 50% to 80% of law fi rms’ staff salaries.

“Further, as the MCO period continues to aff ect the cash fl ow of law firms, the Malaysian Bar calls on the government to either provide for an extension of the submission and payment of in-come tax beyond April 30, 2020, or to do away with tax instalment payments (“CP500”) for the year 2020, instead of the option for de-ferment off ered as part of the Pri-hatin package.”

Salim said the Malaysian Bar, notes the Prihatin package makes provision for the deferral of pay-ments, and the restructuring and rescheduling of employer contri-butions. However, he added that the Malaysian Bar also calls on the government to look into re-ducing the allocated percentage of employer contributions to the Employees Provident Fund.

“A balance must be struck between providing for business owners as well as employees, in protecting and defending the econ-omy from a crisis. Th e Bar Council, with its own limitations, is trying to reach out to members of the Bar with assistance in any way possi-ble during this daunting period.

“It must be emphasised that the purpose of an economic stimulus package is to stimulate an econ-omy that is severely strained. It is not about bailing out a business but about helping out people that rely on that business,” he added.

KUALA LUMPUR: Adequate social distancing will be near impossible to achieve in this Covid-19 pandemic, given the popularity and congestion of Ramadan bazaars, according to the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia.

In a statement, the group comprising 11 colleges of vari-ous medical specialties said close contact will inevitably occur in parking areas, en route and be-tween customers and vendors, and the premature easing of so-cial distancing may potentially lead to a third wave of infections.

“Many sacrifi ces have been and continue to be made this year. Th e war against Covid-19 is far from over, and we will need to continue persevering in order to enjoy many more Ramadans to come. Losing this war is not an option,” it said.

The statement came in re-sponse to the news report quot-ing Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa as saying that the management of Rama-dan bazaars in the Federal Ter-ritories would be modifi ed from this year to prevent congestion at the stalls.

While objecting strongly with any plan to hold Ramadan ba-zaars this year given the ongoing threat of Covid-19, the group sug-gested that an online Ramadan bazaar with delivery services be promoted instead to reduce the risk of infections and to mini-mise the economic impact on petty traders.

Selangor Menteri Besar Da-tuk Seri Amirudin Shari said all Ramadan bazaars in the state would be cancelled this year. — Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: If you are feel-ing suffocated wearing a face mask for more than fi ve minutes, imagine what healthcare work-ers go through in their personal protective gear for hours in the fi ght against Covid-19.

Having to expose themselves to the risk, dealing with the end-less number of patients and not being able to meet their family could lead to mental and emo-tional distress which, if left un-checked, could result in the country losing the soldiers be-fore the battle is over.

Recognising this, C-19 Heroes Support Group, led by Sunil Has-mukharay, the president of the Malaysian Association of Pro-fessional Trainers and Coach-es (MAPTaC), has launched a free 24-hour helpline that off ers confi dential ear and guidance to those in distress.

He said the idea came up af-ter he had a conversation with a specialist in a government hos-pital and close friends who are doctors, nurses and pharmacists currently toiling long hours in the hospitals.

“Everyone needs an outlet to vent out their frustration, seek for assurance and a shoulder to cry on. I think Covid-19 has really hit the country in a very diff erent way and prompted a lot of people to look at life dif-ferently.

“Our concern is mainly the frontliners who are working tire-lessly to contain the Covid-19 infection from escalating further in the country. We want to con-tribute by giving them the sup-port they need,” he told Bernama when contacted here recently.

Initially, Sunil said he start-ed the helpline with only two coaches including himself. Th ey published two mobile numbers sponsored by REDtone, a Pu-chong-based telecommunication service provider to test the waters.

Th e response was overwhelm-ing with a total of 700 calls with-in a week, he said, adding that 10% of the calls came from pri-vate-sector workers who were concerned about their job secu-rity and safety as they march on to work despite the movement control order (MCO).

However, he said the majority of the calls with each lasting fi ve to 20 minutes came from health-care workers who are obviously frustrated with some Malaysians who cannot t adhere to the MCO.

The C-19 Heroes Support Group has 20 professional coaches comprising therapists, medical personnel, counsellors, professional trainers and coach-es and even a doctor, who are all doing it on a voluntary basis.

Frontline heroes who need a friend to talk to can reach out to the professional coaches at 03-2330 2222 or 012 958 5357. — Bernama

(27%), the UK (28%), the US (32%) and Italy (32%) said they have in-creased their purchase of soap and other cleaning products.

Th e survey showed that 44% of

the respondents from China and 40% of the respondents from Spain bought more fresh fruits or vegeta-bles; 29% from France purchased more dry food; and 23% from Ger-

many sought for bottled water.Overall, more than 40% of the

respondents opined that their gov-ernments have done well in deal-ing with the Covid-19 pandemic, while more than 35% were less than pleased with their governments’ responses.

About 67% of the Chinese re-spondents said their government has done well in combating the pandemic, followed by the UK (55%) and Germany (about 49%).

Additionally, the survey also found that since January, mentions of the TikTok and Houseparty ap-plications have increased.

“People are using the former to broadcast their lives under lock-down, and the latter to connect with friends,” added Brandwatch. — Bernama

Pos Malaysia’s courier segmentexpected to face competitionPos Malaysia Bhd (April 1, 70.5 sen)Downgrade to sell with a lower fair value (FV) of 58 sen: We pro-ject net losses of RM90 million and RM24 million for fi nancial year 2020 forecasts (FY20) and FY21F and a net profi t of RM31 million for FY22F (versus a net loss of RM22 million for FY20F and net profi ts of RM31 million and RM44 million for FY21/FY22F previously), largely to refl ect lower revenues due to the compa-ny’s suspension of some of its oper-ations and slower demand amid the Covid-19 pandemic. We reduce our FV to 58 sen (from RM1.21 previous-ly), based on a price-to-book value (P/BV) of 0.3 times, a 50% discount to its historical P/BV of 0.64 times, to refl ect the unprecedented chal-lenges Pos Malaysia Bhd is facing. We downgrade our recommenda-tion to "sell" from "hold".

Pos Malaysia will temporarily sus-pend its international mail and parcel services to most of its destinations

(except China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the UK) with eff ect from March 30, 2020. This is due to the cancellation of fl ights as well as closure of airports. Based on our back-of-the-envelope calculations, the international mail/parcel services are estimated to make up around 15% of the company's revenues.

Meanwhile, the express mail ser-vices will continue with limited des-

tinations, while its core segments, i.e. postal and courier services are operating at reduced capacity dur-ing the movement control order (MCO) period, despite being listed as one of the essential services as demand is subdued.

We are now projecting greater contraction of 35% in mail volume in FY20F (versus in the low 20s we assumed previously), as we believe

the decline in commercial mail volume (which makes up around 90% of the total mail volume) will accelerate further with businesses stepping up on cost-cutting initi-atives as revenues fall off the cliff . We also expect some volume losses on the back of business consolida-tion amid the economic downturn.

We believe the main challenge for the company is its cost ineffi -

ciency as a result of a unionised workforce and its inability to sig-nifi cantly rationalise its extensive network of post offi ces. Not help-ing either, is the revenue loss with scaled down operations amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the courier segment continues to face intense competition, resulting in margin squeeze. — AmInvest-ment Bank, April 1

SCGM Bhd(April 1, RM1.23)Maintain trading buy with an un-changed target price of RM2.20: We attended a conference call on Tuesday (yesterday) hosted by SCGM Bhd's management with more guidance on the newly es-tablished healthcare protection gear business obtained. With a relatively small capital expenditure (capex) of RM1 million, production of the face shields and face masks can poten-tially generate up to RM4 million in sales per month despite the manu-facturing plant only operating at a maximum utilisation level of 50% during the movement control or-der (MCO) period. Meanwhile, the company is likely to see huge sav-ings from resin costs in the coming months given the current low oil prices, which will further translate into margin expansion for the group.

In the third quarter of fi nancial year 2020 (3QFY20), resin cost sof-tened by 19% year-on-year and 20% quarter-on-quarter. Th e spot price for Southeast Asia polyethylene has been holding around US$850 (RM3,698)-900 per tonne, still considerably low-er than its recent 10-year peak of US$1,680 per tonne in 2013. Given the recent collapse in oil prices to the lowest levels since November 2002, resin cost, which makes up nearly 60% of the group’s operating cost, will also drop subsequent to the softer oil price movements. It is worth noting that the group is holding up to three weeks of resin stocks and currently only adopts spot purchases which will see it benefi tting from the cheaper

resin cost immediately. Our sensitiv-ity analysis shows that for every 10% decline in resin costs, it will potential-ly bring down the group’s operating expenses by about 6%.

Since February 2020, the company has allocated RM1 million in capex to purchase fi ve new ultrasonic sealing machines for face shields and one new face mask machine. Th e face shield machines can produce up to 21,000 units/day while the face mask machine, which will arrive by mid-

The company is likely to see huge savings from resin costs in the coming months

given the current low oil prices, which will further translate into margin expansion for

the group.

April, has the capacity to produce up to 50,000 pieces/day. Despite having no contractual agreement for the orders, the group is currently sitting on one month of backlog orders. It mainly supplies to all local hospitals and pharmacies. Since Feb 18, the group has recorded sales of RM2.9 million from the face shields. Given the minimal investment cost, we see attractive double-digit profi t margins from this new business segment. As of now, we have not imputed the new earnings contribution into our FY20-22 earnings projection as yet.

Th e implementation of the MCO by various countries due to the Cov-id-19 pandemic has driven up demand for its customised food and beverage packaging products, namely, ready-to-eat trays, meat trays and salad bowls.

Th e company has no issue with the raw materials as it has suffi cient resin stocks. In fact, resin production is uninterrupted given its essential status. It also has little logistics issue given the restricted movements. — PublicInvest Research, April 1

Hong Leong Bank Bhd(April 1, RM13.22)Maintain buy with a lower tar-get price of RM16.20: Given the global economic uncertainties brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, Hong Leong Bank Bhd (HLB) fi ts our preference for banks with strong asset quality and robust capital strength that will better withstand econom-ic downcycles. With its share price down 22% year to date, the stock’s price-to-book value has derated to 1 times, from 1.4 times in early January 2020, pric-ing in risks from Bank of Cheng-du Co Ltd.

RHB economists now forecast gross domestic product growth to drop to 0% year-on-year (y-o-y) in 2020 (2019: +4.3% y-o-y) and rebound by a sharp 5.7% y-o-y in 2021, aided by the government’s RM250 billion economic stimulus package. We expect Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to cut the over-night policy rate (OPR) by another 50 basis points (bps) to 2% in the fi rst half of 2020 (1H20), before raising it back to 2.5% in 1H21 as the economy recovers from the fourth quarter of 2020 onwards.

On March 24, BNM an-nounced additional measures for borrowers affected by the Covid-19 pandemic – an auto-matic moratorium on loan re-payments to individuals and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for six months from April 1; encouraging banks to extend similar moratoriums to corpo-rate customers; and allocating special relief funds for SMEs.

Hong Leong Bank should see relatively stable NIMs in FY21

Collectively, these measures will give aff ected borrowers an im-mediate reprieve and the much needed breathing space to re-assess their fi nancial positions.

Th e suspension in ageing of loan accounts during the six-month period, coupled with the banks’ commitment to facilitate the resumption of repayments post-moratorium, should help preserve asset quality and prevent a spike in impairment charges. Like all banks, HLB will experi-ence asset quality stress during this economic downturn, but the rise in its gross impaired loans (GILs) should be manageable, given the solid quality of its loan book. HLB’s GIL ratio was at a low 0.84% in December 2019, versus the 2.5% peak during the global fi nancial crisis. We have conserv-atively factored in a higher cred-it cost of 11bps (from 9bps) for FY21F (forecast) and 8bps (from 6bps) for FY22F.

Based on our OPR expecta-tions, banks with fi nancial years ending December will see net interest margins (NIMs) narrow in FY20F, before recovering in FY21F. As its fi nancial year ends in June, HLB should see relatively stable NIMs in FY21, with the full impact from another 50bps OPR cut in 1H20 mitigated by the 50bps rate hike in 1H21.

Taking into account our re-visions in key assumptions, our net profi t estimates for the group remain unchanged for FY20F, but are lowered by 4-5% for FY21F-22F. — RHB Research Institute, April 1

Malaysia in 2020: Navigating overlapping shocksWith determination, careful policymaking, among others, it will be able to weather this unusual storm

Central banks can do more to calm markets

BY F I R A S R A A D

BY I S A B E L L E M AT EO S Y L A G O & T E R R E N C E K E E L E Y

CENTRAL banks around the world are doing everything they can to soften the fi nancial and economic blow of lockdowns aimed at con-taining Covid-19. But as owners of more than US$13 trillion (RM56.55 trillion) in foreign exchange re-serves, they are also major investors whose actions can either support or undermine their policy eff orts.

To achieve the right outcome, they will need to make sure their investment actions calm rather than infl ame markets further.

Following in the footsteps of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), many central banks have taken extraor-dinary measures to ensure that fi nancial institutions, companies and governments can obtain the funding they need to meet obliga-tions, keep operating and fi ght the pandemic. Th ey have pledged to buy an ever-widening array of se-curities, and they have established swap lines to provide borrowers outside the US with much-need-ed dollars and avert unnecessary panic. All these actions are need-

ed. All are to be lauded.Unfortunately, past experience

suggests central banks’ foreign ex-change reserves are not always man-aged in accordance with such desir-able goals. Th ese reserves include not only cash and safe government bonds, but also several trillion dol-lars’ worth of riskier assets, such as high-grade corporate debt, mort-gage-backed securities, equities, pe-ripheral European sovereign debt and gold. Like other investors, central bank reserve managers hate losses and volatility, and hence have been known to head for the exits at the same time as everyone else. Th is can exacerbate the very market distress that their policymaking colleagues are trying to calm.

Reserve managers have added fuel to the fi re on several occasions, including the European credit crisis of 2011 to 2012, the mortgage bust of 2008 and 2009, and the remarkable case of gold at the turn of the millen-nium. In each instance, their selling contributed to disorderly markets and imperiled global fi nancial stability — for example, complicating eff orts to provide Spain, Italy and Portugal with access to cheap credit, and to

Malaysia is no stranger to exter-nal shocks affect-ing its macroeco-nomy. Over the past two decades,

it was buffeted by the 1997 Asian fi-nancial crisis (AFC), the 2001 global slowdown after 9/11 and the 2008 global financial crisis, each shock affecting the Malaysian economy in different ways. The first one resulted in the steepest economic contrac-tion in Malaysia’s history – reversing growth to negative 7.35% in 1998. The country surmounted this massive crisis through prudent policymak-ing and drew important lessons to protect itself from the latter two eco-nomic shocks.

Th is latest global Covid-19 crisis is particularly unique given the con-text in which it emerged and the dual threats it poses to states and societies across the world. Before Covid-19’s global spread during the last two months, economic growth in almost all countries had already slowed on the back of trade tensions between the US and China. Against this sof-tening economic backdrop entered the Covid-19 virus. What began as a localised epidemic in Wuhan, China has now transformed into an interna-tional public health crisis and an in-ternational economic crisis, creating supply shocks and demand shocks in

over 180 countries. Amid this unfold-ing global pandemic, international oil prices, too, began to plummet in early March, adding additional fi scal pressure on oil-producing countries including Malaysia.

The public health shock creat-ed by Covid-19 fi rst evolved slowly and then expanded rapidly in March of the year. Within four weeks after Feb 27, the cumulative number of infections skyrocketed upwards to 2,766 confirmed cases, and there were 43 deaths and 537 recoveries (as of March 31). Th ese trends are already placing the Malaysian health-care system, particularly the public hospitals, under considerable strain. A third ‘tsunami wave’ in the words of Ministry of Health (MoH) direc-tor-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, if not prevented through more expanded testing, case isolation and enforcement of public compli-ance, could easily fl ood Malaysian healthcare facilities and result in nu-merous fatalities not least among the elderly and persons with chronic health conditions.

Covid-19’s shock to the Malay-sian economy has deepened with the mounting public health crisis. Initially, the eff ects of the crisis were felt in the electrical and electronic product sector which is closely tied to the Chinese market; and in the tourism and retail sectors due to a signifi cant drop in incoming tour-ists. Th ese eff ects widened recently,

resulting in broad-based disruption to all economic activities in the country including the fi nancial and currency markets.

Looking forward, recent projec-tions by the World Bank indicate that substantial economic pain will be inescapable in all countries in the re-gion. In our latest regional economic update East Asia and Pacifi c in the Time of Covid-19 launched earlier this week, economic growth in devel-oping East Asia and Pacifi c countries is estimated to slow to 2.1% in 2020 under a base-case scenario; and to negative 0.5% in a lower-case scenar-io. For Malaysia, economic growth in 2020 is forecasted to drop to negative 0.1% under the base case and negative 4.6% under the lower-case scenar-io. Along with signifi cant economic retrenchment, the global pandemic will have a large impact on poverty in the region with 24 million fewer people escaping poverty in 2020 un-der the base -case scenario than was forecasted in the pre-Covid-19 pro-jections. Th ese estimates were gen-erated under continuously changing conditions and based on available data as of March 27.

The World Bank update urges countries to take immediate action to strengthen containment, to boost healthcare capacity and to imple-ment targeted economic measures to lessen the impact on Malaysian households, businesses, and workers including the injection of greater li-

quidity and repayment fl exibility into the fi nancial sector. Th e report also promotes the importance of coun-tries adopting an integrated approach towards containment and macroe-conomic policies, and international cooperation and public-private part-nerships to ensure the production and supply of key medical supplies across international borders.

In line with these recommenda-tions, the Malaysian government issued two economic stimulus pack-ages and placed the country under a movement control order (MCO) for an initial two weeks — now extend-ed to mid-April. Th e MCO, through banning public gatherings and man-dating home-based learning and work for all students and workers (except those involved in essential services), seeks to limit further wide-spread diff usion of the virus. Public compliance with MoH testing poli-cies and movement restrictions will be crucial to preventing a new and sweeping wave of infections from gathering momentum.

Th e economic stimulus pack-ages, on balance, contain the right elements for mitigating the impact of the Covid-19 crisis. Th e second and larger economic package an-nounced on March 27, rightly pri-oritises supporting front-line work-ers in the healthcare system and purchasing medical supplies. It also contains important additional measures to protect the income of

vulnerable Malaysian households through cash transfers, help indi-viduals and businesses smoothen out their debt repayments, and pro-vide support and wage subsidies to Malaysian businesses. Th e goal of the wage subsidy measure is to encourage struggling companies in the private sector to retain their employees during this downturn.

Although this second package is prescribing the right econom-ic medicine for the Covid-19 cri-sis, there may be questions about gaps in the medication and the appropriate dosage of some of the measures. Specifi cally, how best to support medium-sized, small and micro-enterprises will require further thinking and action, and the relatively modest size of the wage subsidy may prove insuffi cient to prevent job lay-off s by fi rms in weaker fi nancial positions. If the public health crisis continues una-bated and requires an extension of movement restrictions, a third eco-nomic stimulus may be necessary.

In retrospect and taking the long view, Malaysia has seen many eco-nomic crises in its day. With enough determination, clear-eyed thinking, careful policymaking — and capital-ising on its prior experiences — it will be able to weather this unusual storm.

maintain funding for US mortgage guarantors Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (In the latter case, the Fed came to the rescue and made a tidy profi t on the guarantors’ short-term debt.)

Of course, reserve managers must act in the interests of their respective economies. We are not suggesting that they be braver and assume losses or refrain from selling if that is what is needed. Th eir objectives are rightly safety, liquidity and return, in that or-der. But succumbing to herd mentality achieves none of the three. And actions that seem individually rational can be collectively disastrous. Assuming they

have no immediate need for cash and hence can aff ord to take a longer-term perspective, now is not the time for central banks to retreat from riskier assets. Time horizons matter. By any measure, the future, long-run return prospects of many asset classes now exceed those of the largest advanced nations’ government bonds.

On occasion, central bankers have demonstrated a willingness to col-laborate in furthering their collective best interest. On Sept 26, 1999, 15 European central banks signed the fi rst Central Bank Gold Agreement, announcing they would coordinate

their sales to prevent market dislo-cation. Th e agreement was so suc-cessful that they renewed it every fi ve years with a growing number of signatories. Central banks work-ing together achieved something they could never have done on their own: greater market certainty, improved stability in a shared as-set class and a more secure global fi nancial system.

And they can do the same today. Reserve managers holding equities, corporate credit, mortgage-backed securities and peripheral Europe-an sovereign debt can individually or collectively state that they own these assets for the long term and will seek appropriate buying op-portunities, rather than heading for the exits. And they can restate their commitments to being responsible investors in global capital markets, now and for the long term.

In other words, central banks need to show the same spirit of global coordination when acting as investors as they do as policy-makers. Doing so will enhance their eff orts to help the global economy weather this terrible episode. — Bloomberg

Singapore planning penalties for wayward fi rms in virus pushCurrently only 40% of workers in the CBD follow directives to work from home

SINGAPORE: Singapore is working on potential penalties for companies that do not follow regulations on social distancing and telecommut-ing during the Covid-19 crisis, the country’s manpower minister said.

Currently only some 40% of work-ers in the city’s central business dis-trict (CBD) are following government directives to work from home, Min-ister for Manpower Josephine Teo told Bloomberg Television’s Haslinda Amin yesterday.

“Th is is not nearly as far as we need to go. We want to get the mes-sage out to companies that it’s in your own interest that you minimise human contact,” Teo said.

Last week the government or-dered more than 30 companies to stop work immediately after it found they had not been following safe-dis-tancing measures, according to the Straits Times. It will be an off ence for employers not to put in telecommut-ing measures where the nature of the work permits it, the authorities have said.

As far as penalties for companies that do not follow the guidelines, “the regulations are being worked out”, Teo said.

Th e global pandemic has wal-loped the trade-reliant city-state, with the Monetary Authority of Sin-gapore (MAS) now expecting the economy to contract 1% to 4% this year. Th e MAS undertook an unprec-

LONDON/HONG KONG: Th e Brit-ish banking regulator pressed fi rms, including HSBC Holdings plc, to scrap dividends and cash payouts for its top staff as the Covid-19 pan-demic upends the industry.

HSBC and Standard Chartered plc (StanChart) shares tumbled af-ter they and Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc, Barclays plc and Lloyds Banking Group plc cancelled out-standing dividends and buy-backs and said there would be no pay-ments in 2020. Th e move comes as the Prudential Regulation Authority wrote to lenders asking them to can-cel payments and it “expects banks not to pay cash bonuses to senior staff , including material risk takers”.

Th e company statements yes-terday did not mention bonuses.

edented dual easing action earlier this week, reducing the slope of its currency band while also recentring the band downward. Unlike the se-vere acute respiratory syndrome out-break in 2003, which mainly aff ected the tourism and aviation sectors, “the implementation of widespread safe distancing measures means a lot of companies are impacted” this time, Teo said. “And thinking about how interconnected the supply chain is, we begin to appreciate the scale and magnitude of the impact.”

Th e resident unemployment rate,

at 3.2% in the fourth quarter, is ex-pected to rise and wage growth is likely to ease, the central bank said recently. Struggling companies can lower pay if they need to, with man-agement leading by example, the National Wages Council said in a statement this week.

Teo acknowledged difficulties that companies in Singapore may face in hiring foreign workers giv-en current global travel restrictions.

“Even if they have a need for the workers, they may not be able to bring on board a good number, a

good enough number anytime soon,” Teo said.

“Wheareas in a normal year you might have more cancellations of work passes on a regular basis, I think companies are re-evaluating” and trying to keep workers for longer while they wait for the situation to stabilise and they have a better sense of what to expect.

The manpower ministry has rolled out several measures to aid businesses outside of the general budget and stimulus packages. — Bloomberg

HSBC, StanChart tumble after regulators push to axe payouts

WASHINGTON: Some coun-tries’ banking systems might have to be recapitalised or even revamped, if their economies are severely handicapped by prolonged disruption from the Covid-19 outbreak, officials of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said yesterday.

Leading regulators and bank chief executives, particularly in the US, have said lenders are robust enough to withstand the unfolding economic crisis.

Tobias Adrian, the director of the IMF’s monetary and capital markets department, told Reuters that in a “baseline” scenario that would be a repeat of a 2009-type growth path, banks could with-stand the adverse impact.

Adrian cautioned, however, that conditions could deteriorate.

“[In a] beyond-severely ad-verse scenario, then it could be that some banks are under-capitalised and at that point policymakers might have to take further actions such as recapitalising or restructuring banking systems,” Adrian said.

Helping countries in times of distress was “bread-and-but-ter” work for an institution like the IMF, he added. — Reuters

SINGAPORE: KKR & Co has shelved a plan to sell Singa-pore-based Goodpack, which provides shipping containers and logistics services, after the Covid-19 outbreak hit valua-tions, sources with knowledge of the matter said yesterday.

Th e private equity group had received bids from a few con-sortiums after tapping more than a dozen potential buy-ers late last year, the sources said, adding that a deal could have valued Goodpack at about US$2 billion (RM8.7 billion).

“Till about six weeks ago, bid-ders were interested and a deal looked likely but there’s a lot of uncertainty in the current envi-ronment,” said one of the sources.

A successful deal would have ranked as one of the largest pri-vate-equity backed sales in Asia excluding Japan and Australia for the past few years, according to Refi nitiv data. KKR acquired Goodpack for about S$1.4 bil-lion in 2014 and delisted it from Singapore Exchange.

Goodpack then changed senior management, expand-ed into new markets and set up offi ces in Europe and the US. — Reuters

Th e UK push to cut discretionary awards for senior managers follows a similar stance from the European Banking Authority (EBA).

In its strongest warning to date, the EBA also said banks should set pay and especially bonuses at a “conservative level” during the crisis.

Firms should also consider de-ferring awards for a longer period and paying staff in shares. Banks are under pressure globally from vola-tile markets and slumping growth, but have also been at the front end of massive support from central banks and regulators, including relief on some capital buff ers and more time to tackle soured loans.

The UK’s five biggest banks had planned to pay out £7.5 bil-lion (RM40.21 billion) in dividends over the next two months. Barclays was due to dole out more than £1 billion on Friday. — Bloomberg

HONG KONG: Th e Hong Kong dollar recorded its biggest monthly jump in more than 16 years in March as local interest rates fi rmed on surging demand for cash, luring speculators to hold the currency.

Th e HK dollar rose over 0.5% month-on-month, the biggest advance since September 2003 and a sizeable move within its tight trading band of 7.75-7.85 per US dollar. Th e currency reached a four-year top of 7.7510 last Friday.

Hong Kong’s widening interest rate advantage over the US was the main driver behind its cur-rency’s gain, analysts in the city said, as the US Federal Reserve (Fed) slashed interest rates to limit the economic damage from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Th e one-month interbank rate in Hong Kong led its US coun-terpart by 107 basis points, the most since 2008, last Th ursday.

Hong Kong held a 97 basis points lead in the one-year rate

Hong Kong dollar records biggest monthly jump in March

earlier this month, the highest in two decades, allowing for “carry trade” where traders borrow with low US dollar interest rates to buy the currency, said Iris Pang, chief economist for Greater China at ING.

“Th e interest rate spread started turning (in the Hong Kong dollar’s favour) late last year but it was quite unstable ... with the Fed on unlim-ited QE and Libor in decline, it pro-vides the speculators with a very comfortable bet,” she said, referring to the Fed’s policy easing and fast falling US dollar rates. By contrast, demand for cash increased and interest rates rose in Hong Kong as quarter-end “window dressing” — banks beefi ng up balance sheets to meet regulatory requirements — approached, said Carie Li at OCBC Wing Hang Bank.

Infl ows from mainland China into the city’s stock market, for cheap shares and upcoming div-idend payments, also aided the Hong Kong dollar’s advance, said Bruce Yam, a foreign exchange strategist at Everbright Sun Hung Kai, a local brokerage. — Reuters

JAKARTA: Indonesia has bol-stered its procedures to prevent a fi nancial crisis during the Cov-id-19 pandemic, the fi nance min-ister said yesterday, fl agging a worst-case scenario of an eco-nomic contraction this year and the rupiah hitting a record low.

Finance Minister Sri Muly-ani Indrawati said the protocol to help failing banks had been upgraded to allow for early re-sponses by all fi nancial author-ities as part of an emergency regulation that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) announced on Tuesday.

Jokowi signed the regulation to give room for more spending and to widen the budget defi cit, waiving a 3% of gross domestic product (GDP) defi cit cap for three years.

He also unveiled 405 trillion rupiah (RM107 billion) of addi-tional spending to cushion the impact of the virus outbreak on Southeast Asia’s biggest econ-omy, which would expand the 2020 fi scal defi cit to 5.07% of GDP. — Reuters

Indonesia bolsters fi nancial crisis plans

SINGAPORE/HONG KONG: Asia’s factories contracted further in March as Covid-19 wreaked havoc on sup-ply chains. China was the standout, with a private survey showing an improvement in manufacturing in line with the government’s offi cial measure.

Almost all of the other region-al Purchasing Managers’ Indices (PMI) fell further below 50, the di-viding line between contraction and expansion, according to data released by IHS Markit yesterday. Th e Jibun Bank Japan index, at 44.8, and South Korea’s PMI, at 44.2, post-ed their worst readings since the global fi nancial crisis more than a decade ago.

Th ere was a hint of a bottom in China as the Caixin Media and IHS Markit PMI rose to 50.1 from 40.3 in February. Output rose to 50.6 compared with 28.6 and new or-ders were also up. Th at followed a bounce in the offi cial PMI, though economists cautioned the better reading was inevitable as workers returned after an unprecedented

shutdown and did not yet signal a fi rm rebound.

Across Southeast Asia, the pain was felt acutely, with the Philip-pines dropping to 39.7, the lowest since records began in 2016, and Vietnam slipping to 41.9. Taiwan’s

PMI rose above 50. Th e factory sen-timent data refl ected a worsening in the Covid-19 outbreak in March. A surge in cases in Italy, Spain and the US brought those economies to a halt, providing an additional punch to Asian nations that have

been battling the virus for months.“As the region increasingly has

Service-sector sentiment also hit a seven-year low as travel bans and social distancing policies hurt con-sumption, clouding an already dark outlook. Analysts have warned fi rms are yet to fully factor in the coming

business hit from the pandemic and will likely slash spending plans in months ahead.

NEW YORK: US printer maker Xer-ox Holdings Corp walked away from its US$35 billion (RM152.25 billion) hostile cash-and-stock bid for HP Inc on Tuesday, after the Covid-19 pandemic weighed on its campaign to take over the personal computer (PC) and printing equipment man-ufacturer.

Xerox’s decision came after it said earlier this month it would postpone meetings with HP shareholders to focus on coping with the Covid-19 pandemic.

It represents a victory for HP chief executive officer (CEO) Enrique Lores, who faced a takeover battle as soon as he took over the reins of the Palo Alto, California-based company in November, and a defeat for Xerox CEO John Visentin, a former Hewl-ett-Packard and IBM Corp executive with ties to the private equity industry who took over as Xerox CEO in 2018.

It is also a blow for billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who owns big stakes in both companies and had

pushed for their merger.Xerox was set to challenge HP’s

board at the latter’s annual meeting of shareholders in May, but will now abandon this eff ort as well as its ten-der off er for HP’s shares, the company said in a statement.

“While it is disappointing to take this step, we are prioritising the health, safety and well-being of our

employees, customers, partners and other stakeholders, and our broad-er response to the pandemic, over and above all other considerations,” Xerox said.

Xerox added that there were com-pelling long-term fi nancial and stra-tegic benefi ts in a potential combina-tion with HP. While it is possible that the companies will choose to engage

once the Covid-19 crisis subsides, Xerox’s decision means that it will not get another chance to put such pressure on HP until its 2021 annual shareholder meeting.

Th e banks fi nancing Xerox’s take-over bid “never wavered in their com-mitments” despite the market turmoil fuelled by the coronavirus outbreak, the Norwalk, Connecticut-based company said.

“HP would like to thank our share-holders, partners, customers and employees for their input and con-tinued support through this process,” HP said in a statement.

Th e market rout triggered by the global coronavirus outbreak has led many companies to hit the pause button on mergers and acquisitions, sabotaging the hopes of corporate advisers who expected a dealmaking bonanza this year.

Both Xerox and HP have seen their business suffer in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis. Xerox shares have lost more than half their value in the last fi ve weeks, while HP shares are down about a quarter. — Reuters

WASHINGTON: US passenger air-lines would be required to maintain minimum service levels to Ameri-can cities in exchange for taxpayer fi nancial support, but could dra-matically cut their fl ights under a plan proposed by the transporta-tion department (DoT) on Tuesday.

Airlines would be permitted to consolidate fl ights to a single air-port in cities with more than one

under the proposal. In addition, airlines that fl y to one city from mul-tiple hubs would be allowed to fl y to that city from a single hub under the plan.

Th e document outlines how the DoT would approach the tricky task of ensuring airlines continue fl ying to American cities in exchange for a share of US$50 billion (RM217.5 billion) in taxpayer aid even as they slash fl ights to cope with plummet-ing demand.

While airlines will have signifi -cant leeway to continue operations if they choose, it appears to give wide latitude to dramatic cuts in service.

However, carriers would not be able to coordinate in a way that would run afoul of antitrust laws.

In one example, the DoT said a carrier fl ying to a city 49 times a week — seven times a day, seven days a week — could fulfi l its re-quirement with just fi ve fl ights per week. — Bloomberg

NEW YORK: Global companies whose revenues have taken a hit during the Covid-19 pandemic plan to cut technology (tech) spending this year by as much as 4.1%, according to the latest survey from US-based Enterprise Technology Research(ETR).

But that forecast drop in tech budgets would be less than in-itially feared because many companies actually intend to accelerate spending to support thousands of employees that now have to work from home as a majority of governments around the world ordered na-tional lockdowns.

Corporate revenue has taken a hit from broken supply chains, less demand from consumers and businesses and productiv-ity losses with most employees working from home.

The fallout from the virus outbreak will result in a cut of between 3.7% to 4.1% in infor-mation technology spending for 2020, based on ETR’s poll this month of about 1,300 of global chief information offi cers (CIOs) and other senior tech executives.

ETR regularly polls large numbers of CIOs and other sen-ior tech executives about spend-ing intentions. — Reuters

NEW YORK: General Electric Co Ltd (GE) fi nalised the US$21.4 billion (RM93.1 billion) sale of its biopharma business, bring-ing in much-needed cash and bolstering chief executive of-fi cer Larry Culp’s eff orts to chip away at a debilitating debt load.

The sale to Danaher Corp gives GE net proceeds of US$20 billion, after accounting for tax-es, fees and factored receivable balances, according to a state-ment on Tuesday announcing the close of the transaction. Th e companies won approval from the Federal Trade Commission earlier this month for the deal, which was announced in ear-ly 2019.

Th e smooth completion will give investors a measure of re-lief as the Covid-19 pandem-ic upends global economies and forces a growing number of companies to shore up their fi nances. Anticipated proceeds from the biopharma deal have been central to Culp’s plans to reduce GE’s debt and help it recover from a deep slump in recent years.. — Bloomberg

Trump warns Americans of a tough two weeks aheadTh e US Covid-19 death toll could hit hundreds of thousands

LONDON: Losing your sense of smell and taste may be the best way to tell if you have Covid-19, accord-ing to a study of data collected via a symptom tracker app developed by British scientists to help monitor the pandemic caused by Covid-19.

Almost 60% of patients who were subsequently confi rmed as positive for Covid-19 had reported losing their sense of smell and taste, the data analysed by the researchers showed.

That compared with 18% of those who tested negative.

WASHINGTON: US President Don-ald Trump warned Americans on Tuesday of a “painful” two weeks ahead in fi ghting Covid-19, with a mounting US death toll that could stretch into the hundreds of thou-sands even with strict social dis-tancing measures.

In perhaps his most sombre news conference to date about the pandemic, Trump, who has faced criticism for playing down the threat of the outbreak in its in-itial phases, urged the population to heed guidance to limit groups to no more than 10 people, work from home and not dine in restau-rants or bars.

“It’s absolutely critical for the American people to follow the

guidelines for the next 30 days. It’s a matter of life and death,” Trump said.

White House coronavirus co-ordinator Deborah Birx displayed charts demonstrating data and modelling that showed an enor-mous jump in deaths to a range of 100,000 to 240,000 people from the virus in the coming months.

Th at fi gure was predicated on Americans following mitigation eff orts. One of Birx’s charts showed as many as 2.2 million people were projected to die without such measures, a statistic that prompt-ed Trump to ditch a plan he ar-ticulated last week to get the US economy moving again by Easter on April 12.

Th e president said the next two weeks would be “very, very painful.”

Th e modelling showed the number of deaths across the nation would escalate and peak roughly around mid-April.

“We want Americans to be pre-pared for the hard days that lie ahead,” Trump said, predicting light at the end of the tunnel after that.

Dr Anthony Fauci, a director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who said previously that the pandemic could kill between 100,000 and 200,000 people in the US, said all eff orts were being made to make those numbers lower.

Th e federal guidelines, which now are in place through the end of April, include admonitions to avoid discretionary travel, not visit nursing homes, and practise good hygiene. — Reuters

BERLIN: European scientists and technologists were to launch a joint initiative yesterday to sup-port the use of digital applications in the fight against Covid-19 while complying with the region’s tough privacy laws.

Th e Pan-European Privacy Pre-serving Proximity Tracing (PEPP-PT) brings together 130 research-ers from eight countries to develop applications that can support con-tact tracing eff orts within countries and across borders.

These will become more im-portant in containing future flare-ups in Covid-19, the flu-like illness caused by coronavirus, once country-wide lockdowns

have succeeded in “flattening” the curve of the pandemic’s spread.

“Our goal is to provide a back-bone for the digital core compo-nents of the global fight against Covid-19,” said Hans-Christian Boos, the founder of business automation company Arago and a member of a digital advisory council to the German govern-ment.

“The PEPP-PT platform others can build on includes an anony-mous and privacy-preserving dig-ital proximity tracing approach, which is in full compliance with the GDPR and can also be used when travelling between coun-tries.”

The GDPR, or General Data

Protection Regulation, is the Eu-ropean Union’s privacy rule book that sets strict limits on the pro-cessing of personal data, mak-ing it difficult to use smartphone location data to fight Covid-19.

A more promising route is to track connections made between people’s smartphones using Blue-tooth, a communications technol-ogy where “handshakes” between devices can be logged and used to alert those who have come into close proximity with someone who tests positive. That is the approach behind the TraceTo-gether app launched by Singapore to support its so-far successful public health response to Cov-id-19 that has kept infections in the hundreds. — Reuters

LONDON: Britain’s government said yesterday it would ramp up the number of Covid-19 tests amid widespread criticism that it was doing far too few, as ministers sug-gested that shortages of chemicals were partly to blame.

Officials say testing for Cov-id-19 is key to fi ghting it, not least to check if medics on the frontline of the epidemic could return to work.

But while Germany has been testing about 500,000 people a week, Britain’s current capacity is just 12,750 a day, a figure the government said it was aiming to double by mid-April.

“I hope on testing ... you will see signifi cant increases this week. We expect to be at 15,000 tests over the course of this week and then mov-ing further forward in the future,” Housing Minister Robert Jenrick told broadcaster ITV.

“We do need to go further and we need to do that faster.”

Th e number of Covid-19 deaths in Britain rose to 1,789 people, fi g-ures on Tuesday showed, a 27% increase in a day with one of the

victims a 13-year-old boy with no apparent underlying health con-ditions.

So far, tests have been focused on those suspected to have the virus who have been admitted to hospital but the government says it is trying to extend this to key staff in the National Health Service (NHS).

Jenrick said more than 900 health workers were tested over the weekend and a further 8,240 individuals on Monday, as he faced a barrage of questions in media interviews about the low number of tests.

At a news conference on Tues-day, Cabinet Offi ce Minister Mi-chael Gove said shortages of nec-essary chemicals had been a factor.

Th e Chemical Industries Asso-ciation said that, while there was escalating demand, “there are re-agents being manufactured and delivered to the NHS”.

An opposition Labour lawmaker said the problem was that minis-ters appeared not to have ordered enough of the chemicals from com-panies that had off ered to make what the government needed. — Reuters

a positive Covid-19 diagnosis than self-reported fever, the researchers at King’s College London said.

Of 1.5 million app users between March 24 and March 29, 26% report-ed one or more symptoms through the app. Of these, 1,702 also report-ed having been tested for Covid-19, with 579 positive results and 1,123 negative results.

Using all the data collected, the research team developed a math-ematical model to identify which combination of symptoms — rang-ing from loss of smell and taste, to fever, persistent cough, fatigue, di-arrhoea, abdominal pain and loss of appetite — was most accurate in predicting Covid-19 infection. — Reuters

Pompeo stressed that human-itarian supplies are exempt from sanctions Washington reimposed on Tehran after US President Don-ald Trump abandoned Iran’s 2015 multilateral deal to limit its nuclear programme. However, broader US sanctions deter many firms from humanitarian trade with Iran, one of the nations hardest hit by the Cov-id-19 epidemic. — Reuters

BEIJING: Chinese health authorities began yesterday to report asympto-matic cases of Covid-19 as part of an eff ort to allay public fears that people could be spreading the virus without knowing they are infected with it.

China, where the Covid-19 virus emerged late last year, has managed to bring its outbreak under control and is easing travel restrictions in virus hotspots.

But there are concerns that the end of lockdowns will see thousands of infectious people move back into daily life without knowing they carry the virus because they have no symp-toms and so have not been tested.

Up to now, the number of known

TAIPEI: Anger at being confused with China amid the Covid-19 out-break and Beijing’s stepped-up ef-forts to assert sovereignty is stirring heated debate in Taiwan about how to further distance itself from its gi-ant and often threatening neighbour.

At its core is a debate about whether to drop “China” from the island’s offi cial name, the Republic of China.

During the virus crisis, the World Health Organisation, which consid-ers the island part of China, has list-ed Taiwan’s far lower case number under China’s, and China has re-peatedly insisted only it has the right

TOKYO: Japan is struggling to hold the line against the Cov-id-19 pandemic and is on the brink of crisis with medical ex-perts particularly worried about preparations here, offi cials said yesterday, raising the prospect of emergency lockdowns.

Japan has some 2,200 cases of Covid-19 and 66 deaths, rel-atively small tallies compared with those of the US, China and some parts of Europe.

But the new infections are ap-pearing relentlessly, with 105 re-ported yesterday, 65 of them here, where cases are closely watched as increasing numbers there add to pressure on the government to take drastic steps.

“We are barely holding the line and remain at a critical point where virus cases could surge if

SYDNEY: Australia is pushing for-eign-fl agged cruise ships to leave its territorial waters amid the Cov-id-19 pandemic, walking a diplo-matic tightrope as it also tries to bring home citizens trapped on ships abroad. Western Australia state premier Mark McGowan yesterday called on the federal government to kick out the Ger-man-owned MV Artania after the crew was reported to have asked the Australian Border Force for permission to stay until April 14.

“If what’s required is to clean the ship as a condition of getting it under way, well then do that ... but get the ship away from West-ern Australia as soon as possible,” McGowan told reporters, adding there were six to nine other ships off here.

Cruise ships are responsible for at least 20% of Australia’s 4,800

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia wants Muslims to wait until there is more clarity about the Covid-19 pandemic before planning to at-tend the annual haj pilgrimage, the minister for haj and umrah said on state TV on Tuesday.

Some 2.5 million pilgrims worldwide usually fl ock to the holiest sites of Islam in Makkah and Medina for the week-long ritual, which is a once-in-a-life-time duty for every able-bodied Muslim and a major source of income for the kingdom.

Th e largest annual gathering of Muslims is scheduled to be-gin in late July, but the Covid-19 outbreak has raised questions about whether it can or should

asymptomatic cases has been clas-sifi ed, and it is not included in the offi cial data, though the South Chi-na Morning Post newspaper, citing unpublished offi cial documents, re-cently said it was more than 40,000.

In an eff ort to dispel public fears about hidden cases of the virus, the government has this week ordered health authorities to turn their atten-tion to fi nding asymptomatic cases and releasing their data on them.

Health authorities in Liaoning province were the fi st to do so yes-terday.

They said the province had 52 cases of people with the virus who showed no symptoms as of March 31, they said in a statement on a pro-vincial government website.

Th e Hunan province said it had four such cases, all of them imported from abroad, it said in a statement on its website.

The National Health Commis-sion is due to start reporting aggre-gate, national data on asymptomatic cases later.

Th ere is debate among experts about how infectious asymptomat-ic cases are but the commission has said all cases would be centrally quar-antined for 14 days.

It said 1,541 people with asymp-tomatic Covid-19 infections were under observation as of the end of Monday.

China has had more than 81,000 cases of the Covid-19 and 3,305 deaths. — Reuters

In Taiwan, anger at China over virus drives identity debateBY B E N B L A N C H A R D to speak for Taiwan on the global

stage, including about health issues.Taipei says this has confused

countries and led them to impose the same restrictions on Taiwanese travellers as on Chinese, and has minimised Taiwan’s own successful eff orts to control the virus.

Taiwan has been debating for years who it is and what exactly its relationship should be with China — including the island’s name. Th e pandemic has shot the issue back into the spotlight.

Lin I-chin, a legislator for the ruling Democratic Progressive Par-ty (DPP), said in Parliament last month that Taiwan should change its English name to “Republic of

Chunghwa”, an English rendering of the word Taiwan uses for China in its name.

“Taiwan has been brought to grief by China,” she said.

On Sunday, the New Power Party, one of Taiwan’s smaller opposition groups, released the results of a sur-vey in which almost three-quarters of respondents said Taiwan pass-ports should only have the word “Taiwan” on them, removing any reference to China.

“During this epidemic period, our people have been misunder-stood by other countries, highlight-ing the urgency of changing the English name,” it said in a statement. — Reuters

we let down our guard,” Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told a par-liamentary committee.

Abe is under pressure from the public to declare a state of emergency that would allow au-thorities to impose lockdowns and restrict movements, but on a voluntary, not a legally bind-ing, basis.

Economics Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said infectious dis-ease experts were alarmed about medical preparations in Tokyo, which now has about 500 cases.

“Many experts expressed a very strong sense of crisis and opinions over the spread of in-fections in Tokyo and the current state of medical preparedness,” Nishimura told reporters.

“We must prevent infections from spreading further no matter what. We have come to the edge of edges, to the very brink,” he said. — Reuters

Covid-19 cases nationally, and the source of public anger after passengers from Carnival Corp’s Ruby Princess were allowed to disembark here and several later tested positive for Covid-19.

Amid fears cruise ships were essentially super carriers of the vi-rus, the federal government barred them from docking at Australian port, except in emergencies.

Artania was permitted to dock last week to allow for the evacua-tion of nine people suspected to have the virus. Several hundred passengers were offl oaded and fl own back to Germany over the weekend, leaving around 450 crew members and a couple of dozen passengers on board.

“Th e commonwealth is con-tinuing to work with the WA state government to ensure that Artania has the ability to depart Australian waters soon,” the Department of Home Aff airs said in an emailed statement. — Reuters

go ahead given the risk of spread-ing the disease further in large gatherings.

Saudi Arabia has already sus-pended the smaller, year-round umrah pilgrimage until further notice, halted all international passenger fl ights indefi nitely and last week blocked entry and exit to several cities, including Mak-kah and Medina.

Th e kingdom has reported 10 deaths among 1,563 cases of the pandemic, which has infected some 800,000 people globally and killed over 38,000.

Pilgrimage is big business for Saudi Arabia and the backbone of plans to expand visitor numbers under Crown Prince Mohammed Salman’s ambitious economic reform agenda. — Reuters

Malaysian palm oil dropped 2% yesterday, mirroring losses in rival oils, pressured by growing worries over a plunge in demand as more countries go into lockdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Th e benchmark palm oil contract for June delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange fell RM64 or 2.66% to RM2,338, after yesterday’s 1.6% drop. Palm saw its biggest daily percentage fall since March 16. “Palm traded lower on expectations for reduced purchases moving forward and estimates of better March palm oil production,” said Marcello Cultrera, an institutional sales manager at Phillip Futures in Kuala Lumpur. The contract was volatile during the morning session as the market discussed estimates for the offi cial supply and demand data due on April 10, Cultrera added. Malaysia’s palm oil exports in March rose between 6.1% and 6.9% from a month earlier, cargo surveyors said on Tuesday. However, worries over demand deepened as countries around the world, including key buyers India and the European Union, stayed in lockdowns to contain the spread of the virus. Life in China, the second-largest palm oil buyer, is slowly returning to normal but a private survey showed a bare minimal growth in factory activity, highlighting the intense pressure businesses face as Beijing guards against a second wave of infections. — Reuters

KUALA LUMPUR: Th e FBM KLCI closed down 28.23 points or 2.09% at 1,322.66 yesterday, as the Covid-19 pandemic, which has killed more than 40,000 globally, gave no respite to world share markets. Th e spectre of a global economic slowdown and lower crude oil prices due to the outbreak gave reasons to equity investors to take profi t yesterday, following Tuesday’s gain. Across Bursa Malaysia at 5pm yesterday, 4.74 billion shares were traded for RM2.77 billion. There were 523 decliners and 355 gainers across the exchange. “Profi t taking should arise to check yesterday’s (Tuesday) window-dressing gains, with downside cushioned on hopes extended social distancing and lockdowns in the US and Europe may slow the coronavirus infection rate, and relief over China’s surprise manufacturing expansion in March,” TA Securities Holdings Bhd wrote in a note earlier. Globally, Reuters reported Asian shares and Wall Street futures fell yesterday, in the fi rst trading session of the quarter, as the Covid-19 pandemic and the prospect of a global recession tore through investor confi dence. It was reported that E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 slumped 2.27%, as dire predictions of more virus casualties in the US weighed on sentiment. It was reported that MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacifi c shares outside Japan erased gains to trade 0.33% lower. — by Chong Jin Hun & Arjuna Chandran Shankar
