Budget 2018 to encompass TN50 aspirations
KUALA LUMPUR: Budget 2018,
which will be tabled next month,
will cover the peoples aspirations
presented at the 2050 National
Transformation (TN50) dialogue
series, said Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Najib Razak.
He said the government would not
be waiting until 2050 to implement

Counterfeit banknotes
are of low quality
BNM says they are mostly printed on normal paper
KUALA LUMPUR: Counterfeit
Malaysian banknotes detected
are of low quality, and are most-
ly printed on normal paper using
ordinary colour printers/copiers.
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM)
said in a statement that the bank-
notes can be easily distinguished
from the genuine ones by using a
simple sense of touch and sight.
Members of the public should
be able to identify these coun-
terfeit banknotes. Contrary to a
recent media report, BNM and
the police have not detected
high-quality counterfeit bank-
notes printed using paper resem-
bling [the] actual banknote pa-
per and state-of-the-art banknote

BNM also reiterated that inci-
dences of counterfeit banknotes
remained low with isolated cases.

of counterfeit notes are prevalent
Measures in place to detect
fake banknotes ABM
KUALA LUMPUR: Members of the
Association of Banks in Malaysia
(ABM) have robust measures in
place to detect suspected coun-
terfeit banknotes.
ABM said in a statement that
these measures include validating
the authenticity of banknotes be-
fore circulation, which is applied
both at the machine level, as well as
over the counter at bank branches.
It was responding to a recent
media report that counterfeit bank-
notes allegedly withdrawn from
Automated Teller Machines (ATMs)
and over the bank counter had gone
unnoticed.
Each bank has its own specific
internal procedures with regard to
we must implement now.
As an example, changes in edu-
cation could only be seen in two to
three generations in [the] future,
he said at a TN50 dialogue session
and a National Womens Day cele-
bration event here yesterday.
Also present were the prime
ministers wife, Datin Seri Rosmah
Mansor, and Women, Family and
Community Development Minister
Datuk Seri Rohani Karim.
Najib, who is also finance min-
ister, indicated that there would
be some good news, especially for
will cause undue public conster-
nation and we view seriously any
report on counterfeit banknotes.
Members of the public are
also required to lodge a police
report immediately if they have
received any banknote suspected
to be counterfeit. This will facili-
tate prompt investigation into the
matter, it said.
BNM said that together with
the banking industry, it had in
place adequate mitigating meas-
ures to ensure counterfeit bank-
notes are not passed through the
financial system, including the
ATM network.
It said a Guideline on Handling
of Suspected Counterfeit Bank-
notes was issued to the banking
industry and it outlined the steps
to be adhered to by commercial
banks, cash handlers, tellers and
outsourced cash-in-transit secu-
rity companies in handling such

erally, all banknotes are scanned
and validated before being loaded
into ATMs and Cash Recycler Ma-
chines (CRMs).
In addition, banknotes deposit-
ed at CRMs and Cash Deposit Ma-
chines (CDMs) by bank customers
are scanned by the machines. Any
counterfeit banknote deposited
would be detected and rejected
on the spot, ABM said.
It also said that banks are re-
quired to adhere to the guide-
lines issued by regulators on the
handling of suspected counterfeit
banknotes.

Malaysian banknotes also incor-

that are difficult to counterfeit.
BNM has advised members of
the public, including retailers, to
be vigilant when handling bank-
notes by applying the Feel, Look,

Paper banknotes are textured
and polymer banknotes are made
of special plastic. Both paper and
polymer banknotes have a raised

We wish to remind the public
that counterfeit banknotes are not
legal tender, and, as such, no value
will be given to it, ABM said.
Members of the public in posses-
sion of suspected counterfeit bank-
notes are advised to lodge a police
report and surrender the notes.
Suspected counterfeit banknotes
that are certified as genuine after
investigation will be returned to the
bank customer concerned.
The public is advised to contact

Msias Nikkei PMI expands
for the first time since April
It signals that operating conditions are improving IHS Markit
BY SA M A N THA H O
KUALA LUMPUR: The Nikkei Ma-
laysia Manufacturing Purchasing
Managers Index (PMI) expanded
in August for the first time in four
months as higher exports boost-
ed output, while business optimism
in August hit the highest level since
December 2013.
The PMI rose to 50.4 last month
from 48.3 in July, signalling that op-
erating conditions are improving for
the first time since April, according
to yesterdays report by IHS Markit,
which compiles the survey.
A reading below 50.0 on the Nik-
kei-sponsored index indicates that
there is a contraction in manufac-
turing output growth.
Meanwhile, optimism regarding
the coming 12 months increased
on higher production and exports
in August, combined with hopes
of growth in new orders, the report
said.

Fajarbaru wants a slice of action in current construction boom
BY A D EL A MEGA N WI L LY
KUALA LUMPUR: It may be rather
surprising that Fajarbaru Builder
Group Bhds contribution from its
construction division the groups
core unit has been on a decline
since the financial year ended June
30, 2013 (FY13).
Nonetheless, its non-executive
director Ooi Leng Chooi reiterates
that construction activities remain
the groups core business, although
property development and timber
are currently contributing a large
bulk of its profit.
Although the group is in diver-
sification mode, Ooi noted that the
construction division will remain
its core business, considering the
slew of urban development and
infrastructure construction activ-
ities in the country, the group is
expected to get a slice of the action
moving forward.
In Malaysia, the overall outlook
for the construction sector is still
very positive. For the Malaysian
economy to boom, the construc-
tion and property development
businesses are needed. And for that
very reason, we will actively com-
pete for new projects, Ooi said.
We will continue to tender for
construction projects. But you see,
jobs coming from the property de-
velopment side will be passed on
to our construction arm and [will]
keep it busy for years to come, he
told The Edge Financial Daily.
Furthermore, Ooi pointed out
from China, Southeast Asia and the
Middle East.
The seasonally adjusted out-
put index also rose above the 50.0
change threshold for the first time
in four months, indicating an expan-
sion in production, IHS said, adding
that this was driven by higher exter-
nal demand and backlog clearance.
Separately, firms expanded their
workforce numbers to keep on top of
overall workloads, with the seasonal-
ly adjusted employment index post-
ing its highest value since October
2015. Companies appeared keen to
take on additional staff and provide
moderate job creation amid positive
projections for growth, IHS said.
Growth was underpinned main-
ly by an improvement in new export
orders, which helped to bolster out-
put, in turn shoring up confidence
and driving employment higher,
said director at IHS Markit, Paul
Smith.
However, current growth seems
a little precarious given the ongo-
ing weakness in total sales, which
continues to fall on the back of un-
that the groups property devel-
opment projects would require
the expertise and services of the
groups own construction arm.
We are businessmen and will
grab maximum profit for the ben-
efit of our shareholders. Whatever
sector we deem attractive and can
improve [the] overall bottom line,
we will consider entering [it]. But
our core business will still be con-
struction and we will continue to
capitalise on that, he explained.
With that, Fajarbaru is hopeful
of seeing more positive results from
its construction business.
Last month, its group executive
director Eric Kuan Khian Leng was
quoted by the media as saying that
Fajarbaru has a good chance of
getting its hands on the anticipat-
ed 37km light rail transit 3 project
which connects Bandar Utama to
Klang, and that it had tendered
for five contracts under the RM9
billion project, including for the
development of a depot, viaduct
and stations.
The group received its trackwork
machines from China Jiangsu KTK
Locomotive and Rolling Stocks Co
Ltd and Gemac Engineering Ma-
chinery Co Ltd last month.
The machinery is for the reha-
bilitation of track formation,
replacement of ballast and
associated works between

derwhelming domestic demand,
he added in yesterdays statement.
Total new orders fell for the fourth
consecutive month, albeit at a lower
rate as exports rose. Reduced order
book volumes were linked to sub-
dued economic conditions, IHS
Markit said.

tract was awarded last year.
By possessing these machines,
this also makes Fajarbaru one of
the few private organisations to
own such equipment, giving us a
significant competitive advantage
in the bidding of new construction
and maintenance jobs for rail-re-
lated projects in the future, said
Kuan.
Fajarbarus unbilled order book
currently stands at about RM400
million and it is expected to last the
group for at least two more years,
according to its finance director
Charles Tan. Its tender book, which
consists of railway, infrastructure
and building projects, now stands
at about RM4 billion.
In FY17, its annual net prof-
it came in at RM38.79 million, a

Across Asean, the Nikkei Asean

ing an improvement in manufactur-

Furthermore, the expansion was
supported by a mix of strengthened

principal economist at IHS Markit.
Vietnam posted the highest PMI

We have had bad results for
the past two years but the most
recent one [FY17] was much better
thanks to the timber and property
businesses. These segments made
our bottom line figures much bet-
ter than before, Ooi commented.
Fajarbaru said in its fourth
quarter financial report that the
timber segment will continue to
generate significant contributions
to the groups revenue, on the back
of stable average prices of timber
products.
As for property development,
Ooi said while property prices are
unlikely to decrease going forward,
the market will never fall short of
demand and supply, and that loca-
tion is key to the segments growth.
Looking at past trends, prices
go up, [will] be stagnant, before
going up again. They will not go
down. Then again, demand and
supply will always be there. And
if you have good locations, buyers
will still queue up for your prod-
ucts, he said.
Fajarbaru entered property
development six years ago and
launched its maiden overseas con-
dominium project, the Gardenhill,
in Melbourne, Australia in 2015.
Currently, Fajarbaru has about

Overly aggressive tax
collection a dampener
This could affect business confidence and raise taxpayers concerns expert
BY S UPR I YA SU REND RA N
KUALA LUMPUR: It is the duty of
the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) to
crack down on companies that do
not pay the amount of taxes they
are obliged to do. However, it may
backfire if the crackdown turns
overly aggressive.
Last week, the IRB signed a joint
audit programme standard operat-
ing procedure with the Royal Malay-
sian Customs Department to tackle
tax compliance more effectively.
This followed the nationwide
Ops Saji, an audit review which
targeted food-related businesses
that ended on Aug 25. Subsequent-
ly, the IRB announced that the next
target group for its tax audit oper-
ation would be professionals such
as lawyers, engineers and doctors.
Sunway University Business
School economics professor Dr
Yeah Kim Leng said there should
be a balance between the roles of
the tax collector, which is the IRB,
and the taxpayers which are indi-
viduals and businesses.
I think there are different per-
spectives to the IRBs recent op-
erations; basically, [the] IRB is in-
creasing its enforcement to ensure
compliance [with tax law], which
is part and parcel of a taxpayers
duty irrespective of the size of their
operations. In turn, this will ben-
efit the country in terms of higher
revenue collection.
On the flip side, of course, it will
affect business confidence as well
as [raise] taxpayers concerns due to
the increased actions by [the] IRB
which may pose a strain.
So, there are two sides to it. On
the positive side, there will likely be
an increased rate of compliance,
but on the other hand, we do not
want overzealous tax collection
Value-added services the way
forward for Msian manufacturers
KUALA LUMPUR: Value-added
services, such as three-dimensional
(3D) printing, are a way for Malay-
sian manufacturers to stand out
from competition, according to a
2017 UPS Industrial Buying Dy-
namics survey.
In a statement, UPS, the global
leader in logistics, said the survey
results revealed early signs of buy-
ers willingness to switch to suppli-
ers offering 3D printing services.
3D printing as a service is per-
ceived to add a level of attractive-
ness in the form of high quality,
customisation and ability to satisfy
emergency fulfilments.

which may affect business confi-
dence and have negative spillover
[effects] on the business climate,
especially since businesses are now
[grappling] with rising costs, he
told The Edge Financial Daily.
Fiscal consolidation should
be done in holistic manner
An economist with a local invest-
ment bank opined that the gov-
ernments intention to consolidate
the fiscal position should be done
in a holistic manner that does not
hurt the business environment and
willingness to compete and invest.
Stepping up tax collection and
efficiency is part of the fiscal plan.
However, how the government
spends the money and ensures
minimal leakages is also essential to
manage public perception that the
funds collected are effectively used.
While government and tax spe-
cialists argue that businesses and
individuals need to pay their fair
share, tax assessments and cal-
culations also need to be fair and
accurate, he said.
Integrated professional services
provider Axcelasia Inc executive
chairman Dr Veerinderjeet Singh
said tax audits are not about busi-
nesses coughing up more than they
should be paying under the law.
The philosophy of a tax audit
is to verify what had been report-
ed in the tax return. So, in theory,
such operations are intended to
ensure that those who should be
paying taxes are actually doing so,
and to ensure that those who have
reported their taxes have done so
correctly.
What unfortunately may hap-
pen is that there may be aggres-
sive interpretation of the law and
that is what will cause difficulties
one side argues commerciality
with the resources to invest in
3D printing as a service can lev-
erage on this emerging trend to
differentiate themselves in an
increasingly crowded market-
place, it added.
The UPS Industrial Buying Dy-
namics study was conducted in De-
cember 2016, with 2,500 industrial
supply purchasers in China, Europe
(the UK, France, Italy and Germa-
ny) and the US, including decision
makers or strong influencers.
The survey suggested that Ma-
laysian manufacturers can take
action in five key areas to appeal
to industrial buyers across the US,
China and Europe.

and another argues that the trans-
action may hinge on aggressive
tax planning. In the end, it is also
about proper documentation and
[the] rationale to justify a specific
transaction, which some entities
may not have, he said.
Veerinderjeet opined that the
rising cost of living and having to
pay taxes which are due are two
different aspects.
If tax is correctly due, it should
be paid, and if cash resources are
lacking, then one has to negotiate
an instalment plan.
The IRB has the right to ini-
tiate its compliance operations,
but it should also ensure that any
past practice agreed to should be
respected, and if that practice is
now overturned, then it should be
done prospectively and not retro-
spectively, he said.

ident Datuk Michael Kang Hua Ke-
ong said that for the associations

Besides 3D printing, the survey
suggested other areas of opportuni-

By understanding the behav-

buyers in these three key markets,
manufacturers in Malaysia can bet-

expansion plans, UPS said.
The survey also revealed that
though online purchasing is be-
coming more popular, in-person

for Malaysian manufacturers ex-
panding their businesses overseas.

for example supporting documents
requested for expense transactions
that took place years ago.
Most of the SME (small and
medium enterprise) directors en-
trust their accountants to help them
with their tax returns, so they dont
fully understand the details being
submitted.
So, when there is a tax audit,
SME directors now have to rec-
ollect, for example, claims made
years ago, and if they do not have
the details and documents to sup-
port the transactions, they then face
the consequences of the expenses
getting disallowed.
This is currently the situation
being faced by SMEs. The IRB
should focus on just the major is-
sues where there was no tax com-
pliance [retrospectively], and [pro-
spectively] SMEs should be given
education on the smaller issues,
beginning from this year, he said.
The association is also hoping
that the government will consider
reducing the tax rates for SMEs as
Industry Revolution 4.0 is a supply
chain-based revolution
KUALA LUMPUR: When the fourth
industrial revolution or Industrial
Revolution 4.0 (Industry 4.0) was in-
troduced to depict the current trend
of automation and data exchange in
manufacturing technologies, many
misunderstood what it was all about
and what or who it affected.
According to Hong Kong-based
Human Capital Group Asia Ltd
chief executive officer Douglas
Dean, a misconception about In-
dustry 4.0 is the idea that it is a
manufacturing-based revolution,
when in reality, it is actually supply
chain-based and focused on pro-
viding service to customers.
He said the manufacturing in-
dustry was following what the ser-
vice industry had been doing for
a long time, providing a platform
part of Budget 2018.
The government had reduced
the tax rate for SMEs on chargeable
income up to the first RM500,000
from 19% to 18%, effective from
year of assessment 2017.
For Budget 2018, [we] are hop-
ing that the tax rate for SMEs would
be reduced further to 15% since
there is also goods and services
tax collection, said Kang.
Businesses are already
in dicult situation
Persatuan Pengusaha Restoran
Muslim Malaysia president Ayoob
Khan Muhamad Yakub agreed that
while it is the onus of all income
earners to pay taxes, those who
have been diligently paying taxes
should not be asked for more.
That is what many people in the
business community feel that
people who pay their taxes are the
ones who are going to get harassed
again for more taxes, he said.
Ayoob added that businesses
are in an already difficult situation,
with higher expenses such as rent-
als and worker salaries.
The government should do
something to stop all this rocket-
ing increments, [and] the taxman
should have a more friendly ap-
proach towards the business com-
munity rather than create fear of
harassment, he said.
Federation of Malaysian Man-
ufacturers chief executive officer
Dr Yeoh Oon Tean opined that IRB
audits have nothing to do with the
rising cost of doing business.
It is only right that all business-
es, including manufacturing com-
panies, should declare their taxes
properly according to the law. Le-
gitimate businesses should not be
afraid of audits if everything is in
order, he said.
for customers to do business via
the Internet and giving them an
opportunity to place individual
orders, instead of en masse.
Industry 4.0 is service-led and
will have a tremendous effect on
the supply chain. The difficulty all
along has been how to customise
orders, down to the individual level,
without having costs go completely
off the scale.
Also, how do you customise
individual orders and at the same
time enjoy savings in mass pro-
duction? That can only happen
when technologies are brought in
to create a more efficient supply
chain network, he told Bernama

HeveaBoard faces challenges
to sustain growth
It will be continuing to focus on higher-grade products as they provide a higher profit margin
BY WO N G EE L I N
KUALA LUMPUR: While most
would expect the rubber wood ex-
port ban to benefit wood-based
furniture manufacturers, including
particle board makers, HeveaBoard
Bhd managing director Yoong Hau
Chun, however, describes such view
as misconception.
HeveaBoards share price staged
a rather strong rebound at end-
June on news of the export ban on
rubber wood, soaring to a record
high of RM1.75 on Aug 7 from this
years low of RM1.30.
Given the headwinds the par-
ticle board is facing, HeveaBoard
might find it hard to keep up with
investors expectations.
Yoong acknowledges that Hevea-
Board, which saw a 45% to 50% hike
in rubber wood cost since early this
year, is expecting a tough ride to sus-
tain its profit growth for the financial
year ending Dec 31, 2017 (FY17).
To be honest, it will be very
tough [to see growth
owth in our bottom
line]. Our internalal plan is to have
growth in both h top line and
bottom line. But ut this year,
theres the impact pact on the
raw material and d the [foreign]
worker issues, Yoong told

BSL banks on EMS venture, green business for better FY18
BY SU P RI YA SU REND RA N
KUALA LUMPUR: BSL Corp Bhd
aims to be a one-stop provider for
electronic manufacturing services
(EMS) for its customers, providing
its core competencies of in-house
metal stamping, printed circuit
board (PCB) assembly and fabri-
cation and forging services.
The group is targeting a 10% rev-
enue contribution from EMS for its
financial year ending Aug 31, 2018
(FY18), according to its chief execu-
tive officer Richard Ngiam Tee Wee.
At present the group derives reve-
nue contribution from its metal, PCB
assembly and forging services sepa-
rately. But with the move into EMS,
the group will be a comprehensive
solutions provider for its customers,
who are mostly manufacturers of
home electronic appliances such
as televisions, air conditioners, fans,
microwaves and water heaters.
Ngiam said the group has been
wanting to transition into a full EMS
als. And that log export has been
banned a long while ago.
He also explained that the rainy
weather has affected rubber wood
supply, which caused prices to
climb.
Yoong noted that the sharp rise
in rubber wood cost certainly does
not bode well for HeveaBoard as
rubber wood makes up 30% of the
particle boards raw material costs.
As an export-oriented company,
Yoong said the stronger ringgit also
affects the company negatively as it
mainly trades in US dollars.
Moreover, Yoong noted that Hev-
eaBoard will be continuing to focus
on higher-grade products as they
provide a higher profit margin.
We have been trying to move
away from the conventional prod-
ucts that can give us an edge over the
rest of the competitors, said Yoong.
He explained that HeveaBoard is
now commercialising a new prod-
uct the NAF, which is a particle
board with no added formaldehyde
adhesive system. This is
a totally new typ
type of

provider for some time now.
For us, we would like to think it
is a natural [progression] into EMS
as the stamping industry is already
at the mature growth stage. We are
already doing certain module as-
sembly or partially completed as-
sembly to be sent to customers to
put into their final products.
So now, we have decided to take
the next step and move into the
final product as well, said Ngiam
in an interview with The Edge Fi-
nancial Daily.
Logistics was a deterrent in the
past to its EMS venture as BSLs
factories were located in different
locations. But over the years, the
group has worked on centralising
its operations at its factory in Batu
Arang, Rawang.
We were not terribly successful
in the past as our sister companies
were located in Klang and in Se-
layang Baru. But now, we have put
them together in one location.
We hope our customers would

product that we are able to offer,
said Yoong, adding that there is no
other manufacturer that produces
this product in Malaysia.
Incorporated in 1993, the com-
pany now manufactures, trades and
distributes a wide range of particle
boards and particle board-based
products as well as ready-to-assem-
ble (RTA) furniture products.
HeveaBoards main revenue
streams come from particle board
manufacturing, with 80% of total
production exported. Meanwhile,
about 90% of its RTA is exported.
For the particle board segment,
the company exports about 48.4% to
China, India (12.2%), Japan (11.8%),
Korea (11.7%), and other countries
(5.6%) and 10.4% is sold to the lo-
cal market.
Meanwhile, for the RTA seg-
ment, HeveaBoard exports to Ja-

BSL has moved its precision
stamped metal parts unit, which
was previously located in Selayang,
to its Rawang factory in 2009. Its
PCB assembly operations under
its subsidiary Crestronics (M) Sdn
Bhd in Klang were also relocated
to Rawang in 2013. The group then
sold Crestronics Klang land, office
and factory to Top Glove Group last
year for RM9.88 million.
In the nine months ended May
31, 2017 (9MFY17), precision
stamping and tooling remained
BSLs largest revenue contributor,
at about 81%, while renewable en-
ergy (RE) contributed about 14%.

Earnings-wise, HeveaBoards net
profit grew 17.5% to RM41.63 million,
from RM35.43 million a year ago for
the first six months ended June 30,
2017. Its revenue was up 9.83% to
RM293.98 million during the period,
from RM267.68 million a year ago.
The increase in net profit was
mainly due to the better revenue in
the particle boards segment, driven
by higher production capacity, in-
creased sales of higher-grade prod-
ucts, increased sales in value-added
products.
However, HeveaBoard saw a de-
cline in net profit from the RTA seg-
ment due mainly to lower exchange
rate for the US dollar to ringgit and
higher raw material cost.
While the company has been
expanding its production line, in-
creasing more automation to re-
green. Our RE segment owns and
operates solar farms, but the main
business is as an engineering, pro-
curement, construction and com-
missioning (EPCC) provider for any
third party, he said.
To date, its RE division has sup-
plied and constructed 2.1mw of solar
photovoltaic (PV) system. This in-
cludes a 1mw solar farm at Universiti
Teknologi Malaysias Kuala Lumpur
campus. The group owns and oper-
ates the farm under its subsidiary
Matahari Suria Sdn Bhd.
It also owns 51% of BSL Eco Energy
Sdn Bhd, with the remaining 49% held
by its partner Eco Seido Sdn Bhd. BSL
Eco Energy is a PV solar energy solu-
tion provider offering EPCC services
for the full range of solar installations.

core business by venturing into cul-

FY16 1HFY17*
its new wholly-owned subsidiary
HeveaGro Sdn Bhd.
With the company currently pro-
ducing 100 tonnes of low-quality raw
materials daily, which are currently
sold to boiler users at a discount,
Yoong said the company plans to
utilise its existing waste for King Oys-
ter mushroom cultivation.
It (mushroom cultivation) not
going to be a very big revenue [or]
profit generator, but I think, on the
margin side, its quite attractive be-
cause we are able to use our own raw
materials. I also think that theres a
very good prospect for healthy food
[and] organic produce, said Yoong.
While HeveaBoard has allocat-
ed about RM10.5 million for fac-
tory and equipment to cultivate
King Oyster mushroom, Yoong said
the company is aiming for a RM10
million revenue and RM3 million
profit for FY18.
Yoong said the factory should be
ready by year end and HeveaBoard
is hoping to start production in the
first quarter of 2018.
The plants will be connected to
the grid and successful companies
will then be able to sell the energy
produced to Tenaga Nasional Bhd or
Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd for 21 years.
Ngiam shared that BSL had sub-
mitted its bid for a 8mw LSS project
to the EC. The LSS has excited the
market as its a 21-year programme
where you get a constant revenue
stream, but its also quite competitive
and thats a challenge, said Ngiam.
For 9MFY17, BSL reported a net
profit of RM2.17 million, compared
to a net loss of RM694,000 a year
ago. Revenue for 9MFY17 came in
27% higher at RM104.29 million. The
group returned to the black in FY16
with a net profit of RM4.76 million,
largely because it converted doubtful
debts in the PCB segment into shares.
BSL shares closed unchanged
at 51.5 sen last Wednesday with
a market capitalisation of RM52.7
million. Year to date, its share price
has grown 82% from 30 sen on Dec

to a slowdown in the housing mar-
ket, a survey showed last Tuesday.
Mortgage lender Nationwide said
house prices rose 2.1% year-on-year
in August, slowing from 2.9% in July

same period last year.
Building companies fundamen-
tals have been burnished in 2017,
with Moodys Investors Service saying
it sees the number of negative out-
looks in the sector declining slight-
ly over the next six to 12 months.
Ten leading developers that have
reported first-half results saw gross
margins expand to an average 30.2%,
according to calculations based on
and matching Mays four-year low.
A Reuters poll of economists had
pointed to annual growth of 2.5%.
Britains housing sector has
slowed sharply since the vote in
June 2016 to leave the European
Union, when prices were growing
by more than 5% a year.
The moderation in price growth
primarily reflects the squeeze on
real wages and the slowdown in the
pace that mortgage rates are falling,

IN BRIEF
Chinas land ministry
says to continue
targeted policies
SHANGHAI: China will continue
its targeted policies to address
demand and supply in the prop-
erty sector and stay on track with
land supply plans, the ministry
of land and resources said on
Saturday. The government fac-
es the challenge of controlling
rising home prices in the largest
cities where prices are too expen-
sive for many residents, while
also encouraging sales and sup-
porting prices in smaller cities
that face a glut of unsold homes.
In the second half of the year it
would focus on its one city, one
strategy approach to key cities,
the ministry said in a statement
on its website. It would push
property developers to start and
complete projects according to
their contracts. Reuters
US order to vacate

MOSCOW: The Russian foreign

US order to vacate Russian dip-
lomatic property in Washington
and San Francisco was a blunt
act of hostility. We urge Amer-
ican authorities to change their
minds and return Russian diplo-
matic facilities immediately, it
said on its website. On Saturday,
Russian diplomats worked to va-
cate three properties in the US,
including the six-storey consu-
late in San Francisco, complying
with the US order which was is-
sued in retaliation for Moscow

normalised profit after tax and mi-
nority interests (Patmi) came in
at RM14.4 million (-62.4% year-
on-year [y-o-y]). This was mainly
attributable to lower contribution
from the print and digital segment
in view of poor market sentiments
as well as start-up costs incurred
for dimsum.my.
Despite some improvements in
the macroeconomic numbers, the
advertisement spending recovery
remained soft. Management be-
lieves that advertisers are adopt-
ing a wait-and-see attitude. Thus,
to partially address this concern,
management is actively executing
cost-saving measures. This includes

Uzma Bhd
(Aug 30, RM1.30)
Maintain outperform call with an
unchanged target price (TP) of
RM1.65: We understand that the
second quarter financial year 2017
(2QFY17) core earnings were prof-
itable, at RM4.7 million (-57% quar-
ter-on-quarter [q-o-q], -13% year-
on-year [y-o-y]), rather than initial
losses of RM1.2 million with addi-
tional two one-off items, that is the
RM2.6 million additional deferred
tax charge and RM3.3 million ad-
ditional provision. Thus, the cumu-
lative first half FY17 (1HFY17) core
earnings of RM15.7 million (+47%
y-o-y) were within managements
expectations, anticipating strong-
er 2HFY17 backed by: i) unbilled
RM35 million to RM 38 million work
performed for the Kinabalu project
in the 2QFY17; ii) stronger associ-
ate earnings due to pick up in CTU
(coiled tubing) jobs; and iii) higher
work orders from contracts secured.
Apart from the unbilled work for
the Kinabalu jobs, the management
explained that the 21% decline in
1HFY17 top line was caused by lower
execution of manpower jobs, which
typically fetches lower profit after tax
(PAT) margins of 2-3%, resulting in
PAT margin improvement to 9.5%
in 1HFY17 from 5.1% in 1HFY16.
Note that these jobs contributed
<10% of total revenue in 1HFY17
versus 35%-40% of FY16 revenue.
In view of slower-than-expected
work orders, the hydraulic workover
units (HWU) utilisation is likely to
stay flattish or at best improve slight-
ly than last years 30+% level. Having
said that, MMSVS Group Holdings
Co Ltd is anticipated to break even
plined cost control and improved
efficiencies.
With a sizeable cash reserve of
RM326.7 million as at the second
quarter of FY17 (2QFY17), manage-
ment is actively seeking merger and
acquisition (M&A) opportunities.
The acquisition target would pref-
erable be within the media realm.
However, they do not discount the
possibility of investment in non-
core businesses which are already
profit-making. In addition, manage-
ment is open to investment oppor-
tunities beyond the local shores.
In view of the 30 sen special divi-
dend announced for 2QFY17, we do
not expect any further dividend for
the said financial year. However, for
FY18, we are cutting our dividend
assumptions to 11 sen from 15 sen
previously. Due to the challenging
business environment, the groups
cash-generating capability has re-
duced considerably. Coupled with

BANGKOK: Due to its strate-
gic location, the sleepy seaside
town of Kuala Perlis is luring
wildlife-smuggling syndicates
to traffick in a variety of exotic
animals to China.
From the jungles in Indo-
nesia, these exotic animals, in-
cluding pangolins and even
orangutans, endure an arduous
journey across the seas to Kua-
la Perlis, Padang Besar, Hatyai
and Laos to reach their main
destination, China.
The syndicates choose the
Padang Besar route because it
is the closest route from Indo-
nesia to Thailand. They (wildlife
traffickers) travel by boat from
Indonesia to the Kuala Perlis
port in Malaysia and then to
Thailand.
[Kuala Perlis] is about 40km
from the Padang Besar border,
Padang Besar customs service
division director Arthit Visut-
tismajarn told Bernama.
He said the Kuala Perlis-Pa-
dang Besar route was just one
of the many smuggling routes
taken by the syndicates to send
their haul to China, to satisfy
the countrys burgeoning de-
mand for exotic animals.

For that, he said training and
retraining of employees in the as-
pect of cybersecurity is of great
importance to ensure that they are
aware of cybersecurity issues and
understand how cyberattacks find
their way into the companys elec-

Amirudin said a qualification in
IT or computer science is not enough
to make an employee a cybersecuri-
ty expert because it is a niche sector
that requires further and different
types of training.
We are targeting to have 10,000
cybersecurity experts in the country

Game changer for North Korea
Possible two-stage hydrogen bomb is seen as transformative
BY JACK KIM & JU-MIN PARK
N
orth Koreas claim of
a successful hydro-
gen bomb test marks
a major step in the
isolated countrys
long-stated goal of
developing a nuclear-tipped missile
that puts the US mainland within
range, experts say.
North Korea conducted its sixth
and most powerful nuclear test on
Sunday, which it said was a success-
ful detonation of an advanced hy-
drogen bomb, technically known as
a two-stage thermonuclear device.
All of North Koreas six nuclear
tests including the one on Sunday
have taken place at its underground
testing site in Punggye-ri, deep in
mountainous terrain, and it is hard
to independently verify the claims.
But experts who studied the im-
pact of the earthquake caused by
the explosion measured by the
US Geological Survey at magnitude
6.3 said there was enough strong
evidence to suggest the reclusive
state has either developed a hydro-
gen bomb or was getting very close.
The detonation produced 10
times more power than the fifth
nuclear test a year ago, South Korean
and Japanese officials said. Norsar, a
Norwegian earthquake monitoring
agency, estimated the yield at 120
kilotons, significantly above the 15
kiloton Little Boy bomb dropped
on Hiroshima and the 20 kiloton
Fat Man dropped on Nagasaki at
the end of World War Two.
The two pillars of French economic reform
BY P H I L I PPE AGH I ON &
BE N ED I C T E B ERNER
THE French government has just
announced the guidelines for a new
labour code, its first major reform
to boost Frances economy, by giv-
ing more flexibility to companies
to adapt to the marketplace. The
second major reform sought by
President Emmanuel Macrons cab-
inet an overhaul of the French
state is set to follow.
The changes to the labour code
have four goals. First, direct ne-
gotiations between employers
and employees in small and me-
dium-size firms (accounting for
55% of the workforce) would be
facilitated by allowing such com-
panies to negotiate with elected
representatives not mandated by
the trade unions. Second, social
dialogue within larger firms would
be simplified by merging separate
workers committees (for hygiene,
health, safety, and so on) into a
central body. Third, collective
bargaining over wages and em-
ployment would be decentralised
from national to sectoral and/or
firm level. Finally, laying off em-
ployees would become easier and
That scale is to the level where
anyone can say [it is] a hydrogen
bomb test, said Kune Y Suh, a nu-
clear engineering professor at Seoul
National University.
North Korea has effectively es-
tablished itself as a nuclear state.
This is not just a game changer, its
a game over, Suh said.
Lassina Zerbo, executive secretary
of nuclear test ban watchdog CTBTO,
said: The physics of the event that
were talking about today seems to
indicate a much larger event than the
one from 2016 and before.
North Korea claims its intercon-
tinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs)
tested twice in July can reach large
parts of the mainland US.
But experts say it likely achieved
that potential range only by topping
the test missile with a payload lighter
than any nuclear warhead it is cur-
rently able to produce.
Pyongyang is also yet to prove
that any warhead it places on a long
range-missile can survive re-entry
into the earths atmosphere after an
intercontinental flight.
Developing a hydrogen bomb
would be key to have a lighter war-
head, because that would offer
much greater explosive yield rela-
tive to size and weight.
Getting this high of a yield would
likely require thermonuclear ma-
terial in the device, said David Al-
bright, a physicist and founder of the
non-profit Institute for Science and
International Security in Washington.
It would show that their design,
whatever the specific design, has
more predictable, in particular
with the introduction of upper
and lower levels on pay-outs is-
sued by labour courts.
The reform of the labour code
will soon be accompanied by re-
forms of the unemployment insur-
ance and job training systems. On
the former, the government will
take over from the unions, in order
to provide unemployment ben-
efits to all categories of workers,
including the self-employed and
those who voluntarily quit their
current job to search for a new
one. The cost of reforming unem-
ployment insurance, however, is
estimated at 3 billion (RM15.26
billion) to 5 billion, which may
prove difficult to square with 2018
budget plans, which foresee a 20
billion cut in spending.
Altogether, the labour market re-
form is intended to reconcile more
flexibility for firms to hire and shed
workers which is needed in an
economy where growth is driven
by innovation and creative destruc-
tion with more income security
and more training for the unem-
ployed. The French labor market
currently suffers from a huge divide

achieved a yield that is capable of
destroying modern cities.
Albright, however, still ques-
tioned the Norths claim that it was
a genuine two-stage thermonucle-
ar device.
North Korea said in January 2016
that it tested a miniaturised hydro-
gen bomb. But outside experts said it
was likely a boosted device, mean-
ing an atomic bomb which uses
some hydrogen isotopes to create
bigger yield.
Two-stage reaction?
A hydrogen bomb usually uses a
primary atomic bomb to trigger a
secondary, much larger explosion.
Such a weapon, with the first
long-term contracts and low-skill
workers who shuttle constantly be-
tween unemployment and short-
term jobs. The governments reform
is meant to close this divide by in-
creasing social mobility.
The government has
not yet decided on
a precise course of
action for spending
The second pillar of Macrons eco-
nomic programme, reform of the
state, has two major components: a
revamp of fiscal policy and an over-
haul of the public spending system.
Here, too, the reform aims to address
four main long-standing problems.
First, capital income is too heav-
ily taxed in France, compared to
other developed countries, which
discourages innovation and entre-
preneurship. Second, public money
is not invested in the most cost-ef-
fective and growth-enhancing way.
Third, France suffers from a mul-
tiplicity of administrative layers,
which generates inefficiencies and
stage based on nuclear fission -
splitting atoms and the second
on nuclear fusion, produces much
more power than traditional atomic
bombs, or pure fission devices.
Hours before the latest test, North
Korean state media published pho-
tographs of leader Kim Jong-un in-
specting a peanut-shaped device
that it said was a hydrogen bomb de-
signed to be loaded on a new ICBM.
The elongated shape of the de-
vice shows a marked difference from
pictures of the ball-shaped device
North Korea released in March last
year, and appears to indicate the ap-
pearance of a two-stage thermonu-
clear weapon, experts said.
The bomb North Korea showed
redundancies in the provision of
public services. Finally, France re-
mains a highly corporatist country,
with a multiplicity of health, pen-
sion, and family subsidy systems;
in an innovation-driven econo-
my where individuals are likely to
change jobs and sectors repeatedly
over their lifetime, this bureaucratic
thicket becomes a source of ineffi-
ciency and risk.
On the fiscal front, Macron has
made two important moves. First,
on the revenue side, capital in-
come would be taxed at a flat 30%
rate, whereas before capital was
taxed more than labour. Second,
the wealth tax on non-real-estate
assets will be eliminated a move
meant to encourage entrepreneurs
and innovators.
The government has not yet de-
cided on a precise course of action
for spending, although Macron and
his team are looking closely at the
reforms carried out by Canada and
Sweden in the 1990s. In particular,
the government may decide to re-
duce the number of civil servants
by eliminating some administra-
tive layers of regional and local
government, and by delegating
some administrative tasks to au-
COMMENT 13
today, if you look at the shape, the
front part looks like an atomic bomb
which triggers nuclear fission and
the back part, a second stage that
generates nuclear fusion reactions,
said Chang Young-keun, a rocket
science expert at the Korea Aero-
space University.
Once nuclear fusion is started,
fast neutrons are created which once
again trigger nuclear fission of ura-
nium inside the bomb.
This means explosions can hap-
pen double and triple. And thats
why its power is great. Even if its
the same size and weight, if its a
hydrogen bomb, its power can be
tens or hundreds times bigger,
Chang said.
North Koreas Nuclear Weapons
Institute said Sundays test verified
the functioning of a hydrogen bomb,
including the fission to fusion pow-
er rate and all other physical spec-
ifications reflecting the qualitative
level of a two-stage thermo-nuclear
weapon, according to the official
KCNA news agency.
For the first time, North Korea
also specifically mentioned the pos-
sibility of a electromagnetic pulse,
or EMP, attack. Such a strike would
involve detonating a bomb in the
atmosphere, instead of firing a long-
range missile at a major US city.
Some US policymakers and ex-
perts have raised concerns about
such an attack, which could cause
a massive power surge and deal
a devastating blow to US electric
grid and critical infrastructure.

government may and should
merge all existing pensions
schemes into a single system (as
it should with the social security,
health insurance, and family sub-
sidy systems). This would enable
the government to invest in edu-
cation, unemployment insurance,
and innovation, while abiding by
its European budgetary commit-
ments.

China bans initial

BEIJING: China banned indi-

raising funds through initial
coin offerings (ICO), saying
the practice constituted illegal
fundraising. ICOs have become
a bonanza for digital currency
entrepreneurs, globally and in
China, allowing them to raise
large sums quickly by creat-
ing and selling digital tokens
with no regulatory oversight.
Individuals and organisations
that have completed ICO fund-
raisings should make arrange-

other government departments
yesterday. Reuters

French media
rm Vivendi still
looks like a
one-legged
stool
BY L I AM PROU D
LONDON: Vivendi still looks like
a one-legged stool. The French
media conglomerate delivered
better-than-expected revenue
in the first half, with signs of a
turnaround at troubled TV unit
Canal Plus. But music label Uni-
versal is doing much of the heavy
lifting, while chairman Vincent
Bollor gets little credit for his
integration efforts.
Results released after mar-
kets closed last Thursday con-
tinued a familiar tune for Viv-
endi investors. Universal Music
Group is enjoying the benefits
of a digital-streaming boom
thanks to services like Spotify,
with revenue hitting almost
1.4 billion (RM7.12 billion)
in the second quarter. That was
better than analysts forecasts
of 1.3 billions, and 15% high-
er than in the same period a
year earlier after adjusting for
currency movements and ac-
quisitions.
Canal Plus, by contrast, is
still shrinking, with first-half
operating profit down 42%.
Granted, the 1.3% decline in
underlying revenue and 5.5%
fall in adjusted earnings before
interest and taxes in the sec-
ond quarter showed signs of
improvement. And with two-
thirds of new subscribers buy-
ing more than just the basic
TV package, average revenue
per user should rise from 45.3
in June.
But Universal still pro-
vides most of the good news
for Vivendi investors and
that doesnt look set to change
soon. New acquisition Havas
last week ditched its target for
full-year organic growth due
to an advertising slowdown.
Shares in affiliate Telecom Ita-
lia, meanwhile, are down about
2.6% since Reuters reported
in July that chief executive of-
ficer Flavio Cattaneo would
step down after clashing with
Vivendi.
Assume Universal is worth
18 billion, using Morgan Stan-
ley estimates. Throw in equity
stakes in other companies with
a value of around 7.7 billion
and the total is close to Viven-
dis enterprise value of around
27 billion based on last Fri-
days share price. That means
Canal Plus and other divisions
effectively dont show up in the
share price. A mooted plan to
float a stake in Universal might
help to reduce the discount, but
only at the expense of diluting
existing Vivendi investors ex-
posure to the most attractive
part of the group. Bollors ef-
forts to integrate the different
bits of his sprawling empire
may eventually pay off, but for
now the group is largely firing
on one cylinder. Reuters

Singapore travel agency
doubles growth every
month since January
launch
BY CHE RY L LI N
SINGAPORE: A new custom travel agen-
cy in Singapore that does not tell travel-
lers their destination until a week before
their flight has seen month-on-month
growth double since it started operations
in January.
Founded by two 26-year-old Zelia
Leong and Felix Tan home-grown
agency Anywhr organises trips based
on parameters set by customers, such as
budget, travel dates and the type of holi-
day adventure, getaway or experience.
Leong came up with the idea after she
spent several months travelling in Europe.
I realised travelling wasnt restricted
to fixed itineraries or visiting famous land-
marks. Its about meeting new people and
discovering the destination itself, which
is the surprise, said Leong.
When she returned, she raised the idea
to Tan, who was a colleague at a venture
capital firm she was working at.
All our friends thought we were kid-
ding when we told them about the idea,
she added. However, Anywhrs warm re-
ception by Singaporeans has taken Leong
and Tan by surprise.
She claims the agencys bookings have
doubled every month since it started in
January this year, and has so far received
a few hundred bookings.
What started as a part-time hobby for
Leong and Tan has now turned into a full-
time venture as both have quit their jobs
to nurse the business.
Leong joked: When we got our first
booking, we didnt expect it and we were
like, What do we do now?
Travellers who book the agency will
receive an email three days after confir-
mation with the departure details, weather
forecasts and what to pack.
A week before the flight, a customised
travel guide, S$30 (RM95) worth of the
countrys currency to cover initial trans-
port, will arrive in the mail, along with
most importantly the destination.
The focus is not on fixing itinerar-
ies but rather suggesting interesting
things to do and leaving it up to guests
to choose. We partner with other small
travel companies or travel advisers at the
destination to recommend less touristy
itineraries, what to eat and local tips,
said Leong.
She added that overtravelled destina-
tions such as Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur
will not be on offer, while travellers can
also indicate destinations they have been
to, or would not like to go to.
Travellers like 23-year-old undergrad-
uate Weina Soh said she would be keen
to try these holiday plans. I like the ele-
ment of surprise and not knowing where
my next adventure would be.
However, the agency should be able
to guarantee that there are proper regu-
lations in place such as ensuring that the
trips arranged are safe, she said.
Muhammad Faqihuddin Mohamad
Mahriz booked a five-day, four-night trip
with a friend and opted for the adven-
ture and budget options.
We got sent to Da Nang in Vietnam.
I never even knew that part of Vietnam
existed with coastal areas or mountainous
regions, said Muhammad Faqihuddin,
who is training to be a financial adviser.
He added: I would definitely do it
again because I am confident they will
bring me somewhere not a lot of people
will go to. That means it will probably be
cheaper and it will be a new and different
experience.
More information is available at
https://www.anywhr.co. Prices start at
S$300 for a two-day, one-night trip.

WATCHES BY KATYA KAZAKINA
A holy grail watch sets the stage for high-stakes battle
AMONG vintage collectors, certain time-
pieces are known as holy grail watches.
Theyre the ones that inspire bidding fren-
zies and, subsequently, bragging rights.
So far, nothing tops a stainless steel
Patek Philippe that sold for US$11.1 mil-
lion at Phillips auction house in Novem-
ber. Patek produced only 281 of these 1941
wristwatches, mostly in gold; only four are
known to have been made in stainless steel.
Also among the most coveted is the Day-
tona Rolex, a limited run of sports watches
produced from 1966 until the mid-1970s,
made famous by the actor and philanthro-
pist Paul Newman, who wore one daily in
the 70s. In May, an 18-karat gold Paul
Newman Daytona fetched US$3.7 mil-
lion at Phillips in Geneva. A year earlier
the company sold a stainless steel version
for US$2 million. But neither of those had
ever graced the blue-eyed stars wrist.
Now some lucky person will be able to
buy the holiest of holy grail watches: Paul
Newmans actual Paul Newman Daytona.
You ask 100 collectors over dinners
whats on their shopping list the Paul
Newman Daytona Rolex, says Aurel Bacs,
senior consultant for watches at Phillips,
which is running the auction in New York
on Oct 26.
Phillips estimates that Newmans stain-
less steel Daytona Rolex wristwatch will
fetch more than US$1 million (RM4.27 mil-
lion). Thats conservative; given its prove-
nance and good condition, vintage watch
enthusiasts are throwing numbers as high
as US$10 million.
Rolex began making Daytona chrono-
graphs in 1963 to meet the needs of pro-
fessional race car drivers. The main in-
novation had to do with the tachymeter,
a scale that works in conjunction with the
chronograph (the stopwatch), according
to Paul Boutros, head of watches for the
This US$45,000 diamond pendant has a heart that beats
BY JACK FORSTER
WATCH enthusiasts (and watch brands
too) often liken the ticking of a watch to
the beating of a mechanical heart. Last
May, we first heard of Paul Forrest Co,
a new jewellery brand founded by Paul
Forrest Hartzband, which uses mechan-
ical watch movements made in Fleurier
to power animated jewellery. The use of
clockwork mechanisms to power animated
figures and automata isnt something new
of course, but we havent seen anything
quite like this from a jewellery maker in
modern production, and certainly not
anything with a mechanical movement
of this quality. To understand what Paul
Forrest Co is shooting for, you really need
to see the pieces in motion.
The action of the beating heart anima-
tion is controlled by a mechanical move-
ment that is in most respects identical to
a watch movement. Theres a mainspring
(wound with a key that forms part of the
pendant) which powers a going train end-
ing in an escapement, lever, and balance
wheel. On top of the going train and regu-
lating system is the module that drives the
beating halves of the heart in the pendant,

Americas at Phillips. Around 1966 the
company came out with a Daytona version
featuring an exotic dial, he says. It had
art deco-style fonts and multiple colour
details such as a red, outer seconds track.
Newman got his exotic watch a
Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, reference
#6239, made in 1968 as a gift from
his wife, actress Joanne Woodward. The
two starred together in the 1969 movie
Winning, which sparked Newmans suc-
cessful real-life racing career. The wrist-
watch had a white dial, three black sub-
dials, the red outer track, and Woodwards
engraving on the back: DRIVE CARE-
FULLY ME.
Its worth all the hoopla surrounding
it, says Jason Singer, a vintage watch col-
lector in Phoenix who believes Newmans
Daytona could set an auction record for
a wristwatch.
Bacs, who spent more than 20 years as
a watch specialist for high-end auction
houses, formed his own company, Bacs
& Russo SA, with his wife, Livia Russo, in
2014. Theyve done wonders for Phillips
since they started working with the com-
pany about a year later: In 2016, Phillips
had US$106 million in watch sales, outpac-
ing Christies 60.7 million and Sothebys
US$55.7 million.
Given the intense competition among
the three houses, the stakes are high for
Newmans Rolex. Phillips has built an en-
tire auction Winning Icons: Milestone

Bacss strategy for finding a buyer is to tap

module consists of a rotating wheel with
a sine-wave shaped track in its perimeter
and as two pins set in the track move in
and out, they carry the two halves of the
heart along with them.
Its quite a charming effect a kind
of mechanical entertainment akin to a
music box. The movement is designat-
ed calibre PF-001, with an eight- to 10-
hour power reserve. There are a total of
145 parts (81 for the base movement and
64 for the module) and the module is
built to the same standard as a fine watch
movement, with jewelling throughout to
reduce friction and help keep the heart
beating smoothly.
The movement and module are made
from a combination of high-quality mod-
ern and traditional materials, with a vari-
ety of materials including German silver
(maillechort), steel, copper-beryllium, and
titanium. The guide arms for the beating
heart module are made of aluminium,
and there are 20 jewels in the main move-
ment and 20 more in the module. The cam
wheel is Teflon-coated to minimise fric-
tion. As a piece of jewellery, the Hearts

the fact that behind the artistry theres
some high-grade watchmaking and en-

is actually built very much like a luxury

the recipient is fond of spontaneous mid-
night swims).
Price points are in the US$19,000

live it! 21
In the decade after Newman received
it from his wife, the Rolex travelled the
world with the star, appearing on his wrist
in promotional materials, magazines, and
documentary footage. Then, in 1984, the
star passed it on to an unlikely recipient:
James Cox, a college student who dated
Newmans daughter Nell.
That summer, the two men got to know
each other as Cox spent several weeks
renovating a family tree house that hung
over a creek on Newmans Nook House
property in Westport, Connecticut. The
actor would often come by to check on
the kid and invite him to grab a bite to
eat. On occasion, Cox recalls, Newman in-
troduced him as family to visitors such
as Martin Scorsese.
Hey, kid, you know what time it is?
Newman asked one day. Cox had no clue.
He didnt own a watch. If you can remem-
ber to wind this each day, it tells pretty
good time, the actor said, taking the Rolex
off his wrist.
It was kind of astonishing that he gave
it to me, says Cox, 52, whos selling the
watch to raise money for Nell Newmans
non-profit foundation.
Cox says he wore Newmans watch
proudly for years. But as prices for vin-
tage timepieces began to escalate, he put
the token away in a safe deposit box. Al-
though the romance ended after 10 years,
Cox remains close with his ex-girlfriend
and volunteers as the treasurer of the Nell
Newman Foundation.
The watch was a beautiful gift, he says.
Its now my turn to do something beau-
tiful with it.
Bacss mission is more mercenary. Its
priceless, he says of the rarest Rolex in
the world. But priceless doesnt mean it
wont eventually have a hammer price.

infamy as the senior
British intelligence of-
ficer who, for decades
through the cold war,
fed British and American secrets to
the Soviet Union before finally de-
fecting to live out his days as a KGB
colonel in Moscow.
Less well known, but with a great-
er impact on history, was his father,
Harry St John Bridger Philby, or
Abdullah Philby, as he was known
after his conversion to Islam.
Like his son after him, Abdullah
Philby the father was also a spy. Dur-
ing the first world war, he was tasked,
alongside his colleague TE Lawrence,
with stirring up a tribal revolt in Ara-
bia against the Ottoman Empire.
After the war, he was given re-
sponsibility for suppressing Arab
opposition to the British presence
in the region. But like his son, Ab-
dullah Philby also jumped the fence,
converting to Islam and becoming a
senior adviser to the newly crowned
Arabian king, Ibn Saud, who would
go on to give his name to his country.
In the early years of his reign,
Ibn Saud had been happy to rule as
a client of the British. But in 1936,
Abdullah Philby persuaded the king
cession to the US oil companies
Texaco and Chevron (or SoCal as
it was then called) rather than to
the established British giant BP.
That is why Saudi Arabias mo-
nopoly state oil company is today
called Aramco the Arab-American
oil company rather than Arbroco.
Now, however, 80 years after Ab-
dullah Philby engineered his switch,
Saudi could be about to change al-
legiance once again. Signs are be-
ginning to emerge that the current
king, Salman, son of Ibn Saud, may
transfer his countrys primary stra-
tegic alliance away from the US and
towards the rising power of China.
For the time being, Saudi remains
closely bound to the US.
Nevertheless, ties between Ri-
yadh and Washington have frayed
in recent years.
More to the point, these frictions
arose against a backdrop of grow-
ing American energy security and
a corresponding fall in US oil im-
ports from the Middle East. As the
US has ramped up its production
of domestic shale oil over the last
10 years, its imports of crude oil
have fallen from almost 14 million
barrels a day in 2007 to just eight
million in the first half of this year.
Over the same period, Chinas oil
demand has more than doubled. As
a result, China earlier this year sur-
passed the US as the worlds largest
crude importer, buying more than
nine million barrels a day. By far,
Chinas biggest suppliers were Rus-
sia and Saudi. As Chinas demand
continues to grow, its dependence
on Saudi oil shipments is only go-
ing to increase.
That means Beijing now has a
bigger stake than Washington in
Saudis future stability and security.
As a result, both Beijing and Riyadh
are working on strengthening their
bilateral relationship. King Salman
visited China in March, signing trade
and investment deals worth US$60
billion. And last month, Chinese
vice-premier Zhang Gaoli made a
return trip, signing a further round
of deals, including one to set up a
joint US$20 billion (RM85.4 billion)
fund to invest in new projects in
both countries.
Last week, Riyadhs vice-minister
that pegs its currency to the US dollar.
It is still early days, but Saudis drift
from the US and towards China could
accelerate rapidly over the coming
year. In 2018, Riyadh plans to float
its state oil company Saudi Aramco
on the international capital markets,
doubling or even quadrupling Chi-
nese Internet retail giant Alibabas
record US$25 billion offering in 2014.
However, drumming up buying
interest from Western institutional
investors may prove difficult given
the Saudi governments aggressive
target valuation and the possible
exclusion of the stock from major
benchmark indices.
In that case, the offerings suc-
cess will hinge heavily on Saudis
ability to enlist major cornerstone
investors. And the most probable
cornerstones with the deepest pock-
ets will be Chinese state actors like
sovereign wealth funds China In-
vestment Corp and SAFE Investment
Company, and oil major PetroChina.
Buying a sizeable stake in Aramco
would allow China to lock in a large
part of its future oil import needs.
And it would greatly increase Bei-
jings leverage in persuading Saudi
to accept oil payments in yuan rather
than US dollars. Naturally, those pet-
ro-yuan would tend to flow back to
China in the form of inward invest-
the US dollar to the yuan.
In a stroke, China would have
displaced the US as the closest stra-
tegic and economic partner of the
worlds largest, and lowest cost, oil
producer, fundamentally reshaping
global geopolitics.
That would suit Beijing. It might
also suit Riyadh. China has little
choice but to go on buying Saudi oil.
In contrast, America has other op-
tions, which makes many in Wash-
ington question the importance of
US relations with the Saudi regime.
For Riyadh, there are many ways
in which China would be more con-
venient than the US as primary pa-
tron and protector. After all, Beijing
would be far less likely to kick up a
fuss about Saudis poor human rights
record, its fondness for public exe-
cutions, the oppression of its Shia
minority, and its prosecution of nas-
ty local wars like the one in Yemen.
It is a potent argument. Back
in 1936, Ibn Saud proved ready to
switch his allegiance from a declin-
ing to a rising power when persuad-
ed by Abdullah Philby that it would
be in his best interest.
Some 80 years later, his son may
prove equally prepared to use Saudis
oil wealth as the incentive to sign up
a new great power patron this time

old Russians total.
Reflecting back on the week,
I can be happy, Sharapova said.
It has been a really great ride. Ul-
timately, I can take a lot from this
week.
Todays other quarter-final will
match Czech 13th seed Petra Kvito-
va, a two-time Wimbledon cham-
pion, against US ninth seed Venus
Williams, seeking her eighth Slam
title and third US Open crown.
Kvitova eliminated Spanish third
seed and two-time Slam winner
Garbine Muguruza 7-6 (7/3), 6-3
while Williams beat 35th-ranked
Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro 6-3,
3-6, 6-1.
In Sharapovas first Slam since
including four victories.
His playoff campaign got a
huge shot in the arm on Sun-
day as he drained eight birdies
with all coming on par-fours on
a rainy day at the par-71, 7,342
yard course.
Im extremely pleased,
Thomas said. It was a great day.
I just felt I had total control of my
game. I drove it beautifully. I hit
my irons really well, and my short
game was good if I needed it.
The top 70 players on the play-
she tested positive for the banned
blood booster meldonium at the
2016 Australian Open, she ousted
second-ranked Simona Halep in
the first round and served notice to
any contender her game remains
formidable.
Sharapova returned from her
suspension in April, was snubbed
for a French Open wildcard and
missed Wimbledon with a thigh
injury but received a US Open wild-
card despite only one hard court
tune-up match due to a left fore-
arm injury.
Its great to get that major out
of the way, Sharapova said. Im
thankful for the opportunity. I did
my best and I can be proud of that.

MELBOURNE: English Premier

is set to return as Australia chase
a big win over Thailand today to
qualify for next years World Cup.
The Huddersfield Town ace
was missing through illness as
Australia crashed to a 2-0 defeat
to Japan last week to leave their
Russia 2018 finals hopes hanging
by a thread.
The loss in Saitama left the
Socceroos outside the two di-
rect qualification places in Asia
Group B but level on 16 points
with Saudi Arabia behind the
already qualified Japan heading
into the final pool game.
The Socceroos are two goals
inferior to the Saudis on goal
difference and need to hammer
the Thais in Melbourne in case
the Green Falcons beat Japan in
Jeddah later today. Depending
on results, either Australia or
Saudi Arabia will be consigned to
facing South Korea, Uzbekistan,
Syria or China from Group A in
an Asian eliminator before meet-

Under-pressure Socceroos

to beat the Thais comfortably
and automatically qualify. We
have just got to play well, he
told reporters.
Weve got to make sure we
stay focused and play our foot-
ball, keeping it at a high tempo
and pressuring the opposition
from start to finish. When we do
that things tend to fall into place.

SONKAS SUCCESS IN PORTO ... The Czech pilot Martin Sonka claimed his second Red Bull Air Race win in Portugal
on Sunday. Sonka had never raced in Porto before the weekend, but he still signed the fastest time on the Douro racetrack in 1:07.229.
With this win, he also takes the lead of the World Championship standings with only two races to go. In front of the 600,000 fans
lining up on the riverbanks, Canadas Pete McLeod captured second for the third race in a row, only 0.113 behind Sonka. Australian
Matt Halls third place is his rst podium of the season after switching raceplanes this year. Fighting to retain his overall lead, Kirby
Chambliss from the US served up a net time of 01:07.141, but he incurred a two-second penalty that saved Sonkas win and opened the
door for the rest. The Red Bull Air Race features the worlds best racing pilots in competition that combines up to 370kph speeds and
forces of up to 10G as they navigate a low level slalom track marked by 25m high, air-lled pylons. Photo by Reuters
Syria, China hope for World Cup miracle
BY TALEK HARR IS
HONG KONG: War-torn Syria as
well as China, the ultimate sleeping
giant, are both aiming to pull off a
near-miracle as Asia qualifying for
the 2018 World Cup heads into a
final showdown today.
Among Asia's heavyweights, Aus-
tralia's progress is far from assured
and South Korea are in danger of
missing out on their first World Cup
since 1982 in what will be a nail-bit-
ing last round of group games.
Perhaps indicating rising stand-
ards in the region, competition for
Asia's 4.5 places at next year's Rus-
sia World Cup has been unusually
intense, with only Japan and Iran
qualified atop Group A with 21
points and are yet to concede a
goal. South Korea are second on
14 points but Syria and Uzbekistan
both have 12 points.
A third-place finish would mean
having to come through extend-
ed play-offs for a place in Russia
next year.
Were in a difficult situation, but
well beef up our mental strength
and will win, said Shin, whose side
having qualified so far.
Group A is particularly unpre-
dictable as South Korea, Syria, Uz-
bekistan and Marcello Lippi's China
remain in the running for either the
second automatic berth, or a place
in the play-offs by finishing third.
Syria, despite playing their home
games in Malaysia to avoid their
country's bitter civil war, occupy
the play-off spot after a win and
a draw against China, wins over
Uzbekistan and Qatar, and draws
with South Korea and Iran. They
play arguably the night's toughest
fixture away to Iran, who are yet
to concede a goal as they look
to stay ahead of Uzbekistan and
China, and perhaps even leap-frog

failed to create a single shot on target
against Iran despite the visitors play-
ing the last 40 minutes with 10 men.
It is not that we didnt want to
score, Shin told reporters in Tash-
kent. The players worked hard ...
and while I know it is not an ex-
cuse the pitch was not in a good
condition. All the coaching staff
and players will do all they can to
ensure we can [score] the goals to
win. AFP
South Korea into second place.
Chinese success would be just as
eye-catching if they manage to rise
from fifth in the group to snatch a
play-off spot and stay in the hunt
for just their second World Cup
appearance. China were largely
written off after defeats to South
Korea, Syria and Uzbekistan, but
they are reborn since Lippi's arrival
last October, winning twice to keep
their hopes just about alive.
If they beat Qatar handily, and
South Korea and Iran win against
Uzbekistan and Syria respectively,
77th-ranked China can celebrate
a major boost in their grand plan
to become one of the world's top
football nations. AFP

place
BRUSSELS: Belgium delivered

Roberto Martinez said after
they became the first country

Australia to extend blue
cards for concussion
SYDNEY: Australia will extend

the Australian Capital Territory

ing those showing signs of con-
cussion to leave the field if given
a blue card. They then need to
pass a rigorous set of medical
guidelines including time on the
sidelines. The Australian Rugby

into Spain
MADRID: Following a demoli-

Inspired by Iscos array of silky
skills and clinical finishing, La
Roja swept aside Italy 3-0 on
Saturday night to take a com-
manding three-point lead at
the top of Group G of European
qualifying. With the attitude
with which we have played the
World Cup is very close, said

China Stocks end at fresh 20-month
high despite geopolitical tensions
SHANGHAI: Chinas major indices
ended at fresh 20-month highs yesterday
despite heightened geopolitical tensions,
as investors downplayed the longer-term
impact on stocks from North Koreas latest
nuclear test.
The blue-chip CSI 300 Index rose 0.39%
to 3,845.62 points, while the Shanghai
Composite Index gained 0.37% to 3,379.58.
North Korea on Sunday conducted its
sixth and most powerful nuclear test, which
it said was of an advanced hydrogen bomb
for a long-range missile, prompting the
threat of a massive military response from
the US if it or its allies were threatened.
But Chinese equity markets, which have
in the past largely ignored sabre rattling on
the Korean peninsular, remained clam.
The nuclear test by North Korea could
influence the risk appetite for the short-
term, though in our view it will not have an
enduring impact on the A-share market,
domestic brokerage Essence Securities
wrote in a report.
Investors at home and abroad appear
to be increasingly optimistic about Chinas
economy, as they start to plough more
money into the countrys stock markets,
at a time when the yuan has also climbed
to 14-month highs against the US dollar.
Overseas investors spent a net 27 billion
yuan buying mainland shares in August
via the cross-border Connect schemes,
according to state media, representing
the biggest monthly inflow this year. That
has pushed the premium Chinese shares
command over their Hong Kong peers to
the highest in more than a year.
Sector performance was mixed. Banking
stocks rose 0.9%, snapping a three-day
losing streak.
The national team continued to
substantially increase its exposure to
financial stocks in the second quarter
and will unlikely substantially withdraw its
presence from the A-share market in the
near term, Gao Ting, Head of China Strategy
at UBS Securities, wrote in a report.
Hong Kong stocks followed regional markets
lower yesterday, after North Koreas latest
nuclear test heightened geopolitical tensions.
The Hang Seng Index fell 0.76%
to 27,740.26 points, while the China
Enterprises Index lost 0.91% to 11,182.67.
The market has risen more than a quarter
so far this year on the back of robust earnings
growth at Chinese companies that reflects
a strong recovery in Chinas economy.
However, Gao warned that rising raw
material prices which helped boost
earnings at Chinese resource firms
could squeeze margins in certain
downstream sectors such as power
generation, petrochemicals, white goods,
food processing and apparel.
Most sectors fell yesterday, with properties
and industrial firms among the biggest losers.
