    Malaysia Daybreak | 19 April 2013

    ▌What’s on the Table… ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

    Tenaga Nasional - It keeps getting better At 57% of our estimates and 53% of consensus’, 1H13 core EPS beat expectations, rising by 28.7% yoy due to strong demand and lower cost. 1H13 EBITDA rose by 19.7% yoy due to a 3.9% pts rise in margins as a result of a 4.4% rise in electricity sales and a 6.4% rise in gas supply. Tenaga remains a Trading Buy and is not an Outperform due to the elections (5 May). Demand, lower total cost and tariff reform are catalysts. We upgrade FY13-15 core EPS by 3.7-16.5% due to higher demand and a lower coal price. Our valuation basis remains 1.37x P/BV, 15% below the 10-year average, but our target price rises by 0.4% due to the earnings upgrade. A first interim net DPS of 10sen met expectations.

    Bursa Malaysia - Positive trend priced in

    The inflow of foreign funds did little to spur Bursa’s 1Q13 net profit, which declined by 5.9% yoy. This accounted for 24% of our FY13 forecast and 22.6% of consensus. This is regarded as in line with our expectations given anticipation of better trading value post elections. Our target price is pegged to a target FY14 P/E of 21x, which represents a 20% discount to the 3-year average of 26x. We stay Neutral on the stock as we think that expectations of a pick-up in trading value has largely been priced in given the stock’s 11% rise over the past three months. We prefer Maybank for its exposure to the Malaysian financial sector.

    Felda Global Ventures - Venturing into biodiesel

    We are overall neutral on FGV's acquisition of a 100,000-tonne biodiesel plant in Malaysia. This will allow the group to expand its product offerings to include biodiesel. However, this is offset by our concern over the historical losses reported by the business. We expect FGV to turn around this business given the potential synergy to be derived from this asset with its existing businesses.

    Global Economic News…

    US index of leading indicators printed a -0.1% in Mar (+0.5% in Feb), below consensus reading of +0.2%. Five of the gauge’s 10 components contributed to the Mar decrease, including declines in construction applications and factory orders and a drop in consumer expectations. (Bloomberg)

    The US Philadelphia Fed manufacturing survey came in above zero, at +1.3 to show minimal monthly growth in Apr (+2.0 in Mar). This came below consensus estimates for a +3.0 reading. Outside of the shipments component, which is strongly positive at +9.1, there's little strength in the report. New orders have been flat, at -1.0 (+0.5 in Mar), and employment is turning down, at -6.8 (+2.7 in Mar). (Bloomberg)

    US weekly initial jobless claims increased by 4,000 to 352,000 in the week ended April 13, in line with the median estimates. The four-week moving average, a less volatile measure than the weekly figures, rose to 361,250 last week from 358,500. Continuing claims dropped by 35,000 to 3.07m in the week ended Apr 6. (Bloomberg)

    Germany's parliament voted in favor of aid for troubled Cyprus by a large majority. The vote smoothes the way for Cyprus to access a €10bn (US$13.05bn) bailout from its international creditors and avoid financial collapse. (WSJ)

    Moody’s credit rating agency maintained its top "Aaa" rating for Germany, albeit with a negative outlook. (CNA) Japan’s exports rose 1.1% yoy in Mar (-2.9% in Feb), came in better than market estimate for a 0.2% increase. The trade deficit narrowed to ¥362.4bn from ¥777.5bn in Feb. (Bloomberg)

    The BOJ said it will buy JGBs from the market an average of eight times a month, with its monthly purchases totaling more than ¥7tr (US$71.41bn), in hopes of quelling criticism that its enormous buying is disrupting normal trading.. It previously said it would buy about ¥7.5tr in bonds monthly through six operations. (WSJ)

    Japan Cabinet Office's consumer sentiment survey for Mar said that 71.8% of households expect prices to rise over the next 12 months, up from 69.5% in Feb. (WSJ)

    Chinese authorities have admitted for the first time that limited human-to-human transmission of the deadly H7N9 flu virus is theoretically possible, adding to fears over the virus that has now claimed 17 lives in eastern China. (FT)

    G-20 nations will affirm a commitment to avoid weakening their currencies to gain a trade advantage, according to a draft statement prepared for a meeting this week in Washington. The initial language suggests G-20 members will withhold direct criticism of Japan’s efforts to rally its economy. Yi Gang, a PBOC deputy governor, said yesterday that the yuan’s trading band will be widened “in the near future. (Bloomberg)

    China’s property rebound gathered pace in Mar with Guangzhou home prices rising 11.1% yoy while those in Beijing climbed 8.6% and Shanghai posted a 6.4% increase, the National Bureau of Statistics said. These mark the biggest gains since Jan 2011. (Bloomberg)

    China's foreign direct investment inflows rose 5.7% yoy in Mar (6.3% in Feb), ahead of forecasts of 1.9%. (Bloomberg, Reuters)

    India’s imports fell 2.9% yoy in Mar (+2.7% in Feb) while exports rose 7% (4.2% in Feb). (Bloomberg)

    The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has again eased the rules on foreign exchange to give the public wider access to the enormous dollar resources kept in the country’s banking system. This is the sixth time since 2007 that the BSP eased foreign exchange rules. The last such action was done in 2011. The six new rules are:

    First is the increase in the amount of foreign currencies that may be bought by residents from banks and other foreign exchange institutions without documentary requirements from $60,000 to $120,000.

    Second is the increase in the amount of foreign exchange that may be purchased using unspent pesos by foreign tourists or “balikbayans” without documentary requirements from $5,000 to $10,000.

    Third is the expansion of the list of allowed sources of funding of a peso account that a foreigner may open. This will include income earned in the Philippines.

    Fourth is the expansion of list of foreign assets that Filipinos may buy and for which foreign currencies may be used. This will include global and mutual funds, unit investment trust funds, real properties, debt securities issued offshore by residents and are part of asset inventory of local banks, and equity securities issued by residents that are publicly listed abroad.

    Fifth, the regulator will allow banks to sell foreign exchange to investors who want to convert their investment fund plus the corresponding interest earned back in the original currency.

    Sixth is the two-year extension, or up to Dec. 28, 2016, of the temporary rule allowing locals to borrow foreign currencies from banks without prior BSP approval for the purpose of funding projects under the public-private partnership (PPP) program of the government.

    Malaysian Economic News…

    The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) aims to attract Rm48bn in investments in the manufacturing sector for this year. Deputy chief executive offcer II Datuk Phang Ah Tong said the agency was eyeing more investors from countries to achieve the target. (Bernama)

    Some 831,860 single mothers nationwide will enjoy discounts on daily necessities through the 1Malaysia Consumer card. Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the discounts of between 5% and 50% would be available at 2,170 participating shops nationwide. “This will help to defray their expenses and alleviate their burden,” he said. He also said a slew of requests from single mothers, ranging from housing to insurance schemes,

    were under consideration. On the proposed insurance scheme for single mothers, he said it would only cost RM12 annually and, in return, single mothers would get RM5,000 in death benefits and RM10,000 for accident and loss of limbs. “This will only cost the government RM12m a year,” he said. (StarBiz)

    Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak launched the 1Malaysia Civil Servants Housing Programme (PPA1M). The housing scheme, which will be built on government land in Putrajaya, is to help civil servants working and residing here to overcome the burden of owning affordable, quality homes. A total of 10,336 units of houses, with a built up area between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet will be built in phases in Precint 17 and Precint 11.

    The houses, priced between RM150,000 to RM300,000 with other basic facilities, will be completed in 18 months instead of 36 months. Those with a household income of not more than RM8,000 a month are eligible to apply for the scheme. (The Sun)

    Malaysia could be the logistics gateway to the Asean markets, bringing immense opportunities to Malaysian businesses, said Land Public Transport Commission Chairman Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar. He said the government also plans to develop a global logistics hub -- with four integrated logistics centres, logistics parks, and a logistics park over 1,093ha -- in Iskandar Malaysia, located along one of the world's busiest sea-lanes, the Straits of Malacca.

    The transport and storage sector contributes RM30bn to the country's economy, and it is 3.2% of the country's GDP.

    The Asean Economic Community (AEC) will remove substantially all trade restrictions for logistics services by 2013 and allow other Asean countries to take up to 70% equity participation for logistics services, he said. (Bernama)

    The property market activity in 2012 recorded 427,520 transactions valued at RM142.84bn, compared with 430,403 transactions worth RM137.83bn in 2011, according to Malaysia Real Estate Market 2012. The number of transactions decreased by 0.7%, while the value of transactions increased by 3.6%. The report said in 2012, a total of 272,669 residential property transactions worth RM67.76bn were recorded. (Bernama)

    Political News…

    The DAP continued its drive to dig up more dirt on the academic qualifications of its political rivals from Barisan Nasional (BN), claiming the degrees of both deputy ministers in the Foreign Ministry had being bought from suspect universities. A day after accusing A. Kohilan Pillay of buying his Master of Science in Commerce and Industrial Economy from Pacific Western University in the United States, DAP election strategist Ong Kian Ming alleged that the Puchong candidate had obtained a fake bachelor’s degree.

    Ong also alleged that Kohilan’s colleague in the same ministry, Datuk Richard Riot Jaem, had gained his academic credentials from a well-known “bogus university”. “In other words, both our deputy foreign ministers have not one but two degrees from dubious universities!” the opposition politician said in a statement.

    “Such behaviour is totally unethical and unacceptable for any leader, not to mention two national leaders that are supposed to represent our nation on the international stage!” he added. Ong chided the two deputy ministers for being so bold as to list their paper qualifications on the ministry’s website, noting that a simple background check revealed the

    The Registrar of Societies’ (RoS) decision not to recognise the DAP’s office bearers means one thing, no one can authorise its candidates to use the party’s recognisable Rocket logo and force them to run under allies PAS’s full moon or PKR’s eye logos. This ruling is likely to affect DAP candidates’ chances in the 49 federal seats and slightly more than 100 state seats in the May 5 general elections as most of the contests are in Chinese-majority areas where the Rocket is popular but not the other logos.

    “The RoS decisions means that no party officials is recognised as officials by the authorities. So, they can’t authorise the candidates to use party symbols,” a DAP official told The Malaysian Insider. He said the party’s top officials are still discussing their options now although the Election Commission (EC) has said the Rocket logo can be used. “We have to see the implications of this decision,” he added. (Malaysian Insider)

    Voters will have to decide in the May 5 polls if they support Barisan Nasional’s (BN) “underhanded tactics” after the Registrar of Societies (RoS) decided not to recognise the DAP’s office-bearers, DAP’s Lim Guan Eng said.

    The DAP secretary-general said that the RoS decision, which was made less than three days before the nomination day on Saturday, showed that this was the “worst BN we’ve seen in history”.

    “This is despicable, this is dishonourable,” a visibly upset Lim told reporters at the DAP headquarters. “This is character assassination. This is political assassination. I’m very upset by these underhand tactics,” he added.

    Lim said that DAP candidates would run under PAS’ full moon logo in the peninsula and PKR’s eye logo in East Malaysia in the 13th general election, if the Election Commission (EC) did not issue a letter approving DAP candidates in using their rocket logo. “The most important letter to issue is to withdraw this letter,” he said, referring to the RoS letter dated April 17, 2013, that refused to recognise DAP’s office-bearers that were elected on December 15, 2012.

    Lim said that he did not trust the EC’s verbal assurance on the DAP being able to use its rocket logo in Election 2013, pointing out that DAP candidates needed to show EC officials on nomination day a letter of authority signed by the party’s secretary-general, authorising them to use the party’s logo. (Malaysian Insider)

    The DAP has not been registered and can still use its symbol for the 13th general elections said Registrar of Societies (ROS) director-general Datuk Abdul Rahman Othman. He said that the ROS office informed DAP on Wednesday that it was studying the party's registration and pending the resolution of the dispute, the ROS did not accord recognition to the office bearers of the committee formed at DAP's party elections on 15 Dec 2012.

    However the DAP has not been de-registered and its can still use its symbol in GE13. Election Commission chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said DAP would be allowed to contest using its own symbol if the ROS' decision only involved not recognising the central executive committee. (Star)

    Datuk Seri Najib Razak pledged to help single mothers cope with higher cost of living through policies that will be implemented if his Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition is re-elected at the May 5 polls. The offers include a life insurance scheme, discount cards applicable at 1Malaysia grocery stores and free legal service for divorcee, key issues for the demographic which forms close to one-tenth of Malaysia’s electorate.

    The BN chairman said the pledges reflected the coalition’s appreciation for their support. “Single mothers are BN’s vote bank. That is why we have decided to hold this special meeting with single mothers. “They are a segment of society that we help to protect,” he added. (Malaysian Insider)

    Corporate News…

    Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGVH) is acquiring a biodiesel refinery at Kuantan Port from Mission Biotechnologies Sdn Bhd for US$11.5m (RM35m). FGVH, via its unit Felda Global Ventures Downstream Sdn Bhd, yesterday signed an asset purchase agreement with Mission Biotechnologies Sdn Bhd to acquire all its assets including the refinery at the port for the purpose.

    Apart from the 100,000 tonnes per year biodiesel refinery sited on 6 acres of land, the assets include a 16,000-tonne tank storage connected with import and export pipelines to a deep water jetty. The plant is expected to be fully operational by July 1, 2013. (sun)

    Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) is currently in discussions with the regulators on the setting up of a stabilisation fund. Chairman Tan Sri Leo Moggie said the fund would help buffer the impact of any tariff hike on customers by absorbing the volatility of fuel prices. TNB's CFO Fazlur Rahman Zainuddin added, "Nothing has been confirmed yet as we are still in discussions with the regulators. We don't know if the fund would be neutral for TNB." President and CEO Datuk Seri Azman Mohd said the stabilisation fund would be akin to a form of fuel cost-pass through mechanism. (Star Biz)
