All rogues lead to SC


Solitude Commission. The Securities Commission is tongue-tied, and nobody's blaming them. Corporate player Azizan Abd Rahman's purchase of nearly half a million Eastern & Oriental Bhd shares this year (before Sime Darby made a RM2.30 payout to buy 30 per cent of the company, only from the major shareholders of the company) has got people riled up big time. Read here.

Azizan is the chairman of E & O. He was not party to the sale but considering that other E & O board members who were party to the sale had also bought E & O shares from the open market, one is left wondering: Did the Board members know of the coming "windfall"?

Surprisingly, Azizan also emerged as a substantial shareholder of Kencana Petroleum Bhd in July, just days after an offcer was made to take over the company at RM3 a share! Wonder how shareholders of Ramunia Bhd felt upon finding out that their chairman was a substantial shareholder of a rival oil and gas firm? 

Azizan is the husband of the SC chairman, Zarinah Anwar.

  8. Salam Datuk,

    MACC where are you?

    Mat Sabu's medical claim is ikan bilis compared to the sharks.

    And a liability to and accountability of the PM looms large.

    Does anybody bother what goes on?

    It is exasperating.

    It seems many of us are wasting our time defending what we believe in and there they are making fools of us all.

    Getting fat in the process.

    Pak Lah and ECM/Libra revisited and we all know what happened after that.

    I see it as people playing both sides against the middle.

    If not how can anyone explain all this happening in daylight.

    Thank you

    what is the board doing? How can you allow the CEO and two substantial shareholders to sell effectively the largest bloc of shares to one party, and not triggering a MGO? Well, can the board censure the CEO . Can you really say that there was no knowledge among the 3 sellers in selling to Sime Darby

    Minority shareholders are placing their investments and trust in the CEO and the board of E&O to run the company well and collectively benefit as the company grows. Now, it looks like the biggest substantial shareholders together with CEO acted in collusion to sell what is effectively close to a controlling stake, WITHOUT ANY REGARD for minorities' interest.

    According to Para 6.2 of Practice Note 9 of the Takeover Code 2010, the SC has the right to consider all surrounding circumstances to deem if control has been passed to a new party, thereby mandating the new party to launch a general offer.

    Among the specific criteria laid out in Para 6.2 is “the consideration for the acquisition of the voting shares” in other words, the premium to market that was paid for those shares.

    It is possible that the SC (Zarinah Anwar) will ask Sime Darby to make a General Offer. Kalau begitu maybe Sime Darby will offer RM2.30 or RM2.50 for each and every E&O share. Then Kalimullah, Azizan and gang will cash out on their E&O shares. They will make even more money. Sime Darby writes the cheque.

    Just look at Bank Negara, the assistant governors and company are long retired after all the commission and corruption money is parked. The Governor gets extended contract year after year. The men don't want to be promoted to the top job. Let a women be there, so that the larceny goes unnoticed.

  53. Earlier this year Sime Darby aborted another suspicious deal which involved a joint venture for property development with Sunrise.

    Sime, has vast experience in developing townships like USJ encompassing commercial buildings, condos and landed property.

    So, why the heck is Sime buying a 30% stake in E&O at RM2.30 per share or a 60% premium to E&O's pre suspension closing price? Why are they enriching S'pore companies and Wan Hamzah, a Daim crony who was just appointed director of MAS?

    Sime has all the money and expertise to go it alone in Penang and has ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to do it through E&O by coughing up a whacking premium! If they want experts, they can hire property consultants who are literally a dime a dozen in M'sia.

    This, like the aborted Sunrise deal, smells very, very fishy and stinks to high heaven.

    KLSE and the Securities Commission should suspend Sime and E&O's shares and carry out a thorough investigation to find out the real reason Sime is rushing to pay a humongous and obscene premium for E&O shares when no one else linked to EO major shareholder Terry Tham, like MPHB and BRDB, and other big property Plc's are totally not interested.

    As for possible insider trading on the run up of E&O shares, there seems to be plenty of solid evidence!

    And why are minority shareholders of E&O being screwed in the process?

    A sore point with analysts is the high price paid for E&O. TA Research said the price was 19 times E&O’s forecast earnings for 2012 and 1.85 times its price to book value based on consensus estimates. By comparison, the property sector has an average of 12 times forecast earnings for 2012 and 0.8 times price to book value.

    Kenanga Research also noted that since Sime Darby was expected to equity account E&O’s earnings on an associate level, that would only translate to a meagre 0.6% increase to Sime Darby’s profits in 2012 and 2013.

    It suggested that management might have been better off using the RM766mil to expand its plantation land or motor segment in China.

    Just before the Hari Raya break, Sime Darby had announced it was acquiring a 30% block of E&O at a price of RM2.30 per share when the market price of those shares was RM1.45. The deal is scheduled to be completed this Friday.

    Sime Darby is set to acquire 273 million shares in E&O and 60 million irredeemable convertible secured loan stocks, representing a 30% equity interest, for RM766mil cash.

    Under Malaysian law (on paper only), if a person commits insider trading, he may be subjected to certain criminal and civil actions, as follows:

    (a) Criminal sanction under the CMSA. Criminal prosecution may be instituted against the insider and if convicted of insider trading, he may be punished with imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten (10) years and to a fine of not less than One Million Malaysian Ringgit (RM1,000,000.00)4. The only criminal case involving insider trading in Malaysia is the case of PP v Chua Seng Huat5.

    (b) Civil suits by persons affected by insider trading under the CMSA. In addition to and not in derogation of the criminal sanction, the insider may face a civil suit brought against him by persons who suffer loss or damage by reason of, or by relying on, the conduct of the insider6.

    (c) Civil suits instituted by the Securities Commission under the CMSA7. For example, in August 2004, the
    Securities Commission initiated civil enforcement action against Kuala Lumpur City Securities Sdn Bhd
    and Wan Azmi bin Wan Abdul Rahman, a former employee of Padiberas Nasional Berhad (Bernas),
    requiring them to disgorge ill-gotten profits arising from the insider trading of Bernas shares. This
    resulted in the recovery of Two Million and Eight Thousand Malaysian Ringgit (RM2,080,000.00) from
    Kuala Lumpur City Securities Sdn Bhd – twice the amount gained by Kuala Lumpur City Securities Sdn
    Bhd from the insider trading of Bernas shares. Kuala Lumpur City Securities Sdn Bhd and Wan Azmi
    bin Wan Abdul Rahman were also required to pay civil penalties of Three Hundred Thousand
    Malaysian Ringgit (RM300,000.00) and One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Malaysian Ringgit
    (RM150,000.00).

    In Sydney, Malaysian jailed for insider trading

    March 17, 2011

    MELBOURNE, March 17 — Malaysian citizen Oswyn de Silva’s former high-flying life as a Macquarie Bank fund manager came to an end yesterday when he was remanded in custody after a Supreme Court hearing in Sdyney.

    De Silva had placed trades via his secret offshore account by using a computer in a cafe within the Macquarie Bank building, and within four months had made himself A$1.4 million (RM4.2 million).

    The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) reported that De Silva, a former portfolio manager and associate director with Macquarie Funds Management Group, was taken into custody yesterday before a jail term to be handed down later this month in the New South Wales Supreme Court.

    The 37-year-old who had worked for Macquarie in Sydney and London, had pleaded guilty to a form of insider trading known as front running, where he used his knowledge of upcoming trades in securities and contract for difference to trade to his own benefit.

    The court heard that Macquarie unaware of de Silva’s insider trading between December 20, 2006 and April 26, 2007 and that he continued working for the Macquarie group in Sydney until August 2007 during which he received A$575,000 (RM1,727,852) in bonuses and A$900,000 (RM2,705,757) in ex-gratia payment.

    A statement of facts before the court outlined how de Silva, despite signing an employment agreement in 2005 which stipulated prohibitions on insider trading and restricted personal dealing, had within nine months opened a trading account with a Singapore-based stockbroking firm, which he did not disclose.

    De Silva worked in real-estate-related securities in the Asia region for Macquarie and was solely responsible for determining the volume and price of trades to align the funds’ investments with its model.

    Given his advanced knowledge of proposed trades by Macquarie Investment Management Limited on the Singapore Stock Exchange, de Silva was able to buy before the sale, and then sell shortly after at an inflated price.

    Most of the securities were personally acquired and subsequently sold by him to MIML at prices higher than those for which he acquired them shortly before, the court was told.

    The Australian Securities and Investment Commission first learnt of the suspected insider trading in June 2008 via the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

    No action was taken then but when de Silva returned briefly to Australia in February last year, ASIC started an investigation and obtained a court order to prevent him from leaving the country.

    De Silva was arrested at Perth airport trying to board a flight for Malaysia, and spent six months in jail for contempt of court.

    De Silva’s barrister, Geoff Bellew, SC, said while a pre-sentence report voiced the opinion that de Silva did not feel he had done anything wrong, a recent psychologist’s report indicated he had demonstrated “an appropriate level of remorse”. — Bernama

    The Securities Commission (SC) is “examining the circumstances of the transaction” involving Sime Darby Bhd buying a 30% stake in Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O).

    WOI HELLO, IF SIME DARBY WANT TO BUY E&O FOR 100 PER SHARE, THAT IS THEIR PROBLEM.

    WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW IS HOW COME THE CHAIRMAN OF E&O AND SOME OF THE SELLERS OF THE SHARES, WERE BUYING THE SHARES FROM THE OPEN MARKET PRIOR TO SALE OF SIME DARBY.

    THIS IS INSIDER TRADING. STOP PICKING ONLY ON SC, WHAT IS BURSA MALAYSIA DOING? SLEEPING!

    it's all in the family. Azizan is the husband cum businessman and Zarinah is wife/SC chairman. Kencana's big boss is Zarinah's nephew by marriage who is married to her niece.

    Now u know why is SC is so quiet...and the deal will be sealed this friday.

    So it's the best DUIT RAYA for the whole family!!!

    Lets be clear about things first so that we can make them right. Thanks for highlighting these business as usual greedy Indians/mamak robbing Malay entities like PNB through Sime Darby, Maybank Investment etc.

    The Government is UMNO led. MCA is decimated and so is MIC which have no support from their communities.

    They are there for the Minister posts to get lucrative contracts on behalf of their communiities.

    So UMNO hicks like Khairy cannot hide behind the we have to think of others rhetoric when in fact its all done by UMNO decision makers. They are not party members but they have double cross the Malays which put UMNO in power over the years.

    The creation of PNB which pulled together Malay small savings to buy Guthrie and Sime Darby, Maybank is utilised to enriched Nazir Razak as he bastardised the Malays NEP.

    Today he appeared unashamed with his brother Najib promoting golf. The bastard himself.

    Not to mention the other Indian sons Mohzani asking Maybank to write cheques in the billions to buy his company in cash!

    Having lost 5 states, the UMNO political structure cannot response as the trust on the President is so high, that his wife, brothers, friends are unaffected by the losses.

    These is because the same people control the Federal Government owned companies and they are stealing from PNB at every opportunity under the guise a business decisions.

    But Sime Darby or Maybank is not any company. They are owned by Malays! and UMNO is supposed to look after PNB.

    So time for UMNO and Najib to go..if not we cannot rid the Malays of the Kalimullah, Zarinah, Nazirs from PNB coffers.

    Dear Roc

    It is easy for you to make assumptions and accuse SC integrity. Hv you ask whether all those transactions are in accordiance of permissible laws? She has been in SC for the last 10 yrs (including deputy chairman). Why on earth you appoint her in the first place?

    When pppl criticizing police you are quick to defend the institution. SC is one of the few institutions in Msia that hv the best governance and corporate integrity

    Jgn kerana marah nyamuk bakar kelambu Bro. u dont have to kill SC just bcoz Putrajaya want to appoint new chairman

    THIS IS VERY FUNNY. In today's STAR : SC to look at all E&O share transactions in relation to Sime offer.
    The Securities Commission (SC) is looking at all transactions involving Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O) shares over the relevant period of time in relation to Sime Darby Bhd's recent proposal to buy a 30% stake from three E&O shareholders.

    A SC spokesperson told StarBiz yesterday that it reviewed all trading activity surrounding major corporate announcements and in the case of the Sime Darby and E&O deal, SC was examining stock transactions by all parties over the relevant period.

    the star has this from Azizan.

    In a response to queries from StarBiz on share purchases ahead of Sime Darby's proposed acquisition, Azizan had this to say: “With regard to the issues raised pertaining to Sime Darby's proposed acquisition of a 30% interest in E&O, I would like to highlight that it is a private transaction between major E&O shareholders and Sime Darby.

    "The transaction does not require board approval and hence, was not discussed at the board level. As such, board members were not privy to the transaction and continued to trade in accordance with the prevailing rules and had made appropriate filings with Bursa Malaysia,” Azizan said in an e-mail response.

    HELLO, AZIZAN WHO SAID IT WAS DISCUSSED AT THE BOARD? BUT YOU ARE FRIENDS WITH TERRY THAM, THAT IS WHY HE GOT YOU APPOINTED AS E&O CHAIRMAN. TERRY THAM COULD HAVE TOLD YOU ABOUT THE DEAL. F OFF LAH, WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO CON?

    CIMB bot GK Goh Securities Ptd Ltd in 2005 for S$239m. And since CIMB is the broker for Sime Darby-E&O deal, it does not take a genius to figure why GK Goh has been buying 1.25m of E&O shares in Aug 2011, at a time markets worldwide were crashing. There are so many guilty parties here, it's rotten to the core.

    Azizan said in the star : “The transaction does not require board approval and hence, was not discussed at the board level. As such, board members were not privy to the transaction and continued to trade in accordance with the prevailing rules and had made appropriate filings with Bursa Malaysia,” .

    I say man, Azizan , you must be really stupid. Didn't you read, the Edge and News Straits Times, report stating, E & O was a takeover target. Azizan, you are not stupid, if you were you wouldn't have made millions, by just having the benefit of the doubt.

    Azizan, how is it you have time to be in Ramunia, Tabung Haji, MBF, E&O, Kencana, Silverbird , Isyoda and a host of other private companies. Azizan you are either superman, or a proxy for somebody very powerful

    Azizan, you are going to bring UMNO down. Very good work the PM does is undermined by a person like you, though you are not alone. Btw, Azizan, how is Tabung Haji's investment in Silverbird? Allow me to reproduce : KUALA LUMPUR, 7 Mei (Hrkh) - Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) melahirkan rasa kesal dengan tindakan Tabung Haji kerana membuat pelaburan dalam Syarikat Silver Bird yang mempunyai rekod menafikan hak pengguna Islam di negara ini.

    Setiausaha Agung PPIM Dato' Ma'mor Osman mendakwa, tindakan Tabung Haji itu amat tidak bertepatan dengan imejnya sebagai sebuah badan yang dipertanggungjawabkan untuk memikul amanah menjaga pelaburan umat Islam.

    Menurutnya, Silver Bird Sdn Bhd merupakan sebuah syarikat yang mempunyai rekod menafikan hak pengguna Islam apabila gagal mengadakan tahap minimum kebersihan dan keselamatan makanan.

    Tambahnya lagi, ini termasuklah dalam kes kilang roti milik mereka di Nilai Negeri Sembilan yang didapati kotor, kes penemuan lipas di roti High 5 sebagaimana yang disiarkan dalam News Straits Times (6 Oktober 2007) serta kes penemuan cicak dalam muffin keluaran syarikat terbabit seperti mana yang dilaporkan dalam Harian Metro (28 April 2008).



    Azizan, in 2010 why did Tabung Haji sell DRB HICOM and QSR shares shares, and buy Carotech / Hovid shares? Is it true Azizan, that DRB and QSR shares are up by 100 per cent, while Carotech/Hovid are nearly bankrupt ?

    Seems to me under your investment guidance Tabung Haji is quick to sell shares of Malay companies, and buy half baked Chinese owned venture.

    or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class,

    while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system,

    will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests"

    Yes. The blogger may even be the part owner if he own any ASB shares!

    His Malay relatives etc are the ones being taken for a ride by Bakke.

    How else can stupid bugger like Tengku Zafrul be cEO in maybank if MAybank is not Malay owned?

    Or Musa Hitam or Bakke or other Malay directors.

    But they have no interest of the Malay at heart. Just to make money which will only be discouved in the long term.

    When asked what shareholders, the Malays, can expect from giving chinese 800 million Bakke reply it is all long term.

    That is when the losses are discovered he will be retired. Musa Hitam would have died.
