In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Gamuda (fundamental: 1.8; valuation: 1) said the Gamuda-Evia-Maxdin JV had on June 23 obtained Housing Development Board of Singapore's nod to acquire the tract.
The current type of allowable development on the land is condominium or flats or with written approval, a combination of flats and strata landed houses.
Gamuda said the acquisition is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2015. It will be funded by a combination of cash and bank borrowings, to be satisfied by the JV company.
Following the Singapore authority's approval, a JV company will be formed in which Gamuda, via its wholly-owned subsidiary Gamuda (Singapore) Pte Ltd, will have a 50% stake, while Evia and Maxdin will hold 20% and 30% respectively.
Property developer Meda Inc Bhd has proposed to acquire a private company, which owns two parcels of contiguous freehold land in Kuala Lumpur that measure a collective 4.18 acres, for RM180 million.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Meda (fundamental: 0.35; valuation: 0.6) said it has entered into a conditional share sale agreement with BCM Holdings Sdn Bhd to acquire a 100% stake in the latter.
Meda said it will settle the purchase consideration by a combination of RM139.8 million cash; and the issuance of 67 million new shares at an issue price of 60 sen per share, worth RM40.2 million.
Meda said BCM’s land, which carries a net book value of RM21.2 million as at May 31, 2015, is within a matured industrial estate known as Chan Sow Lin, the southern fringe of the city centre.
Meda said it intends to develop a mixed development on the plot that comprises serviced apartments and commercial properties, with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM881.91 million.
The development is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2015 and complete within 48 months.
Construction firm Bina Puri Holdings Bhd’s subsidiary Bina Puri Sdn Bhd (BPSB) has been awarded a RM195 million contract to construct a 23-storey twin tower in Iskandar Malaysia’s Medini Central Business District.
The project, awarded by Medini Development Sdn Bhd, is expected to be completed within 29 months, according to a statement from Bina Puri (fundamental: 0.15; valuation: 2) today.
This brings the total value of new projects that Bina Puri has secured this year to RM738 million, upping its unbuilt book order to RM2.13 billion to date.
The company’s statement said BPSB accepted the letter of award from Medini Development on June 15, to undertake the development.
Panasonic Manufacturing Malaysia Bhd ([You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Financial Dashboard) has declared dividends of RM1.27 per share, which comprises final dividend of 35 sen per share and special dividend of 92 sen per share.
This brings the total dividend declared for the financial year ended March 31, 2015 to RM1.42 per share, including an interim dividend of 15 sen — nearly double of the amount of 73 sen per share paid in the previous financial year.
Based on today’s closing price of RM22, Panasonic’s dividend yield was at 5.77%.
In two separate filings to Bursa Malaysia today, Panasonic (fundamental: 2.8; valuation: 2) said the dividend would be payable on Sept 21.

Thermo-vacuum-formed plastic packaging products manufacturer SCGM Bhd, whose share price hit a record high today, is proposing a bonus issue of 40 million new shares on a one-for-two basis.
SCGM (fundamental: 1.5; valuation: 1.5) told Bursa Malaysia this evening that the bonus issue is reward to existing shareholders, while simultaneously enhancing its capital base.
Its share price has been on the rise from RM1.81 on Jan 2 to RM3.70 today. The stock has more than doubled year to date, with a market capitalisation of RM296 million.
Biomass material manufacturer Heng Huat Resources Group Bhd ([You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Financial Dashboard) would be investing RM35 million in capital expenditure to build a new oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibre manufacturing facility in Gua Musang, Kelantan.
Its managing director H’ng Choon Seng said the expansion would allow it to cater to higher demand from China and target new export markets, including Australia, Korea and Japan.
The new plant, expected to be operational in the second quarter next year, would relieve some manufacturing load of the current facilities which had a utilisation rate of about 90%, said H’ng.
H’ng said of the RM35 million that would be financed through bank borrowings and internally-generated funds, RM11 million would be used to purchase the land and construct the building.
Another RM12 million would be used for new production machinery and RM2 million for supporting vehicles and equipment. The balance RM10 million would be utilised for a new biomass co-generation power plant.
Nexia SSY Chartered Accountants no longer wishes to act as Malaysia Steel Works Bhd ([You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Financial Dashboard)’s (Masteel) external auditors, following the issuance of a qualified opinion earlier this month on the company’s accounts for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2014 (FY14).
In an announcement released to Bursa Malaysia today, Masteel(fundamental: 0.35; valuation: 1.4) said Nexia SSY does not wish to seek reappointment as the steelmaker’s auditors at their upcoming annual general meeting (AGM).

Construction services provider and property developer, Gabungan AQRS Bhd ([You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Financial Dashboard), which has an order book of RM1 billion, is tendering some RM700 million worth of construction projects.
Gabungan AQRS' (fundamental: 1.3; valuation: 1.8) executive director Datuk Azizan Jaafar said the tenders are a mixture of government and private projects.
He mentioned that the average success rate for the company is about 25% to 30%.
Azizan Jaafar also said the company is "optimistic" in securing at least one work package from the MRT line 2.

This translates into an earnings per share of 6.12 sen versus 3.37 sen last year, the group’s filing with Bursa Malaysia today showed.
TA Enterprise (fundamental: 0.8; valuation: 2.0)’s revenue however, contracted 7.67% to RM194.29 million, from RM210.43 million last year.
TA Enterprise’s 63%-owned property development arm TA Global Bhd, on the other hand, saw its net profit contracted 11.45% to RM72.17 million, or 1.36 sen a share, for the first quarter ended April 30, 2015 (1QFY16), against RM81.5 million or 1.53 sen per share a year ago, mainly dragged by losses in the investment holding and property development divisions.

Revenue for the quarter came in at RM232.44 million.
There were no comparative figures available, as the non-bank financial institution had changed its financial year-end to Feb 28, from Feb 20 previously.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Aeon Credit (fundamental: 1.1; valuation: 2.1) said its non-performing loans (NPL) ratio was 2.74% as at May 31, 2015, compared with 2.18% as at May 20, 2014.
Going forward, Aeon Credit expects to maintain its performance for the financial year ending Feb 29, 2016 (FY16), based on implementation of its business plan, with stronger performance in the second half of the financial year, based on anticipated increase in consumer spending.

Speaking after the company's annual general meeting today, its executive director Datuk Eddy Leong Kok Wah said on an average, the company’s success rate on its order book was at around 20%, but if they were lucky, they could hit the targeted figure this year.

Offshore support services provider Yinson Holdings Bhd ([You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Financial Dashboard) intends to raise about RM299.5 million through private placement — a move to pare down its bank borrowings.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the group said by assuming the issue price for the placement share of RM2.90 apiece, it could raise gross proceeds of up to about RM299.5 million, of which RM289.51 million will be catered for repayment of bank borrowings, while the remaining will be for the corporate exercise expenses.
Yinson (fundamental: 1.5; valuation: 1.5) said the proposal is to undertake a private placement of new ordinary shares of up to 103.28 million shares, representing up to 10% of its issued and paid-up share capital.
