US weekly jobless claims
surge to record 3.28 million
This is as Covid-19 spurs mass lay-offs
BY LUCIA M UTIKANI
WASHINGTON: The number of
Americans filing claims for un-
employment benefits surged to a
record of more than three million
last week as strict measures to
contain the Covid-19 pandemic
ground the country to a sudden
halt, unleashing a wave of lay-
offs that likely ended the longest
employment boom in US history.
The Labor Department’s week-
ly jobless claims report yesterday
offered the clearest evidence yet
of Covid-19’s devastating impact
on the economy, forcing the US

dinary steps and the US Congress

BY AM ALA BALAKR I S HNE R
SINGAPORE: More help will be
given to companies and employees
feeling the weight of Covid-19 as the
government introduces more meas-
ures to save jobs, support workers
and protect livelihoods.
Announced by Deputy Prime
Minister and Finance Minister
Heng Swee Keat yesterday, the Re-
silience Budget will see the gov-
ernment enhancing and extending
the Jobs Support Scheme, which
was first introduced in his budget
speech on Feb 18.
The total support will now
amount to S$15.1 billion (RM45.7
billion) for over 1.9 million em-
ployees.
As the pandemic worsens, the
government will raise its co-funding
of wages for local workers to 25%,
from 8% announced previously.
See related story on Page 14
The qualifying monthly wage
ceiling is also raised from S$3,600
to S$4,600 — the median wage in
Singapore.
Additional support will also
be rendered to the sectors hit the
hardest.
The aviation and tourism sectors
will have 75% of wages supported,
while food services will get 50% in
co-funding of wages.
At this level, the support is more
than twice than that provided dur-
ing the 2008 global financial crisis,
noted Heng.
He is looking to protect self-em-
ployed workers through a S$1.2 bil-
lion Self-Employed Person Income
Relief Scheme, where eligible per-
(RM8.66 trillion) stimulus package.
Economists say the economy is
already in recession. Weekly claims
are the most timely labour market
indicator.
Initial claims for unemployment
benefits rose 3,001,000 to a season-
ally adjusted 3.28 million in the
week ended March 21, eclipsing
the previous record of 695,000 in
1982, the Labor Department said.
Economists polled by Reuters
had forecast claims would rise to
a million, though estimates were
as high as four million. The Labor
Department attributed the surge
to Covid-19.
“During the week ended March
21, the increase in initial claims
is due to Covid-19’s impact,” the

sons will receive a S$1,000 payout
monthly for nine months.
There will also be an extension
to the Self-Employed Person Train-
ing Support Scheme until the end
of this year. This is so that these in-
dividuals can make the most of this
time to train and upskill, said Heng.
To incentivise this, he is enhanc-
ing the hourly training payout from
S$7.50 to S$10. This S$1.2 billion
initiative is “on top of the already
generous training subsidies, which
cover up to 90% of fees,” he added.
Heng also doled out other ini-
tiatives such as a special payment
to low-income Singaporeans as
well as programmes guiding job
seekers, especially the young on
the brink of graduation.
“Our immediate priority is to
save jobs, support our workers and
protect livelihoods. Over one-third
of our Resilience Budget is dedicat-
ed to this,” noted Heng.
“Even then, we cannot prevent
an economic recession as the ex-
ternal health and the economic
situation will evolve beyond our
control. But, it will help us mitigate
the extent of the downturn, and
more importantly, help save jobs
and protect livelihoods,” he added.

“States continued to cite servic-
es industries broadly, particularly
accommodation and food service.
Additional industries heavily cited
for the increase include healthcare
and social assistance, arts, enter-
tainment and recreation, trans-
portation and warehousing, and
manufacturing.”
Governors in at least 18 states, ac-
counting for nearly half the country’s
population, have ordered residents
to stay mostly indoors. “Non-es-
sential” businesses have also been
ordered to close. According to econ-
omists, a fifth of the workforce is on

Bursa Malaysia announces another
seven Covid-19 relief measures
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia
Bhd has announced seven new re-
lief measures targeted at broader
participants in the capital market.
These measures are designed
to help lessen the financial bur-
den and provide greater flexibil-
ity in navigating the challenging
period due to Covid-19, it said in
a statement.
Key measures include an au-
tomatic one-month extension to
submit financial statements for
Bursa’s Main and ACE Markets
and a 50% rebate for the annual
listing fees for 2020 listed issuers.
Bursa Malaysia said it allows
an extension of time frame for the
submission of regularisation plan
from the existing 12 months to 24
months from the date it was first
announced.
The exchange will give more
flexibility and discretion to brokers
by removing the requirement to
automatically liquidate their cli-
ents’ margin accounts if equities
in the margin accounts fall below
130% of the outstanding balance.
Bursa is also expanding the
list of collaterals for purposes of
margin financing, has shortened
counter service hours by market
participants following the move-
ment control order (MCO) and al-
lowing an extension of time for the

this month, which would end nearly
nine-and-a-half years of job growth.
“Jobs will decline in March,”
Moody’s Analytics chief economist
Mark Zandi said in West Chester,
Pennsylvania.
“There are numerous reports of
laid-off workers unable to file for un-

KUALA LUMPUR: The government
has allowed goods stuck at Port
Klang, Port of Penang and Johor
Port to be removed and delivered
to their final destinations prompt-
ly to ensure that the movement of
incoming essential goods is not
impeded.
Minister of Transport (MoT) Da-
tuk Dr Wee Ka Siong, said in a state-
ment that following Wednesday’s
Cabinet meeting and yesterday’s
National Security Council (NSC)
special ministerial meeting, he has
instructed that special exemptions
to clear non-essential goods are giv-
en to the affected ports, which are
expected to be filled to maximum
capacity this week.
“It is important to clear the con-
gestion currently experienced at
these ports so that imported essen-
tial goods are not impeded during
the MCO [movement control or-
der],” he said.
Wee added that the aforemen-
tioned ports will develop and im-
plement action plans to immediately
expedite the movement of goods cur-
rently congesting their warehouses.
To ensure that goods are deliv-
ered to their ultimate destinations
smoothly, the police will facilitate

households will have access to their
daily necessities,” he stressed.
Wee added that all export ac-
tivities will be allowed to contin-
ue as it is necessary to ensure that
supply chains are not severed and
that countries requiring Malaysia’s
exports continue to receive them.
In response, the Federation of Ma-
laysian Freight Forwarders (FMFF)
told its members in a circular North-
port and Westports had waived stor-
age fees from March 16 to 29.
The federation also told its mem-
bers that, among other require-
ments, only a minimum number of
staff should be present to receive
goods, and that exports may contin-
ue as usual, with proof of contract
or export commitment.
Meanwhile, the Port Klang Au-
thority (PKA) said it will waive stor-
age and removal charges for non-es-
sential goods stuck at its port.
In a circular on its website, PKA
general manager Captain K Subra-
maniam said sending agents and
importers are required to contact
power plant project.
With the purchase of an addi-
tional 40%, Worldwide Holdings
will control 75% of the power plant
project’s shareholding.
The project is estimated to cost
RM3.3 billion.
Earlier this month, Tadmax
announced that it signed a share
sale agreement (SSA) to transfer
a 35% stake in PIPP to Worldwide
for RM58.45 million.
To recap, under a heads of agree-
ment dated Sept 14, 2018, Tadmax
was slated to partner Worldwide and
Korean Electric Power Corp (Kepco)
their shipping companies to waive
demurrage and detention charges.
Wee’s announcement came as
the FMFF had warned that con-
tainers were piling up at ports as
the movement of non-essential
goods had been restricted.
FMFF president Alvin Chua told
The Edge Financial Daily the gov-
ernment needed to consider allow-
ing the transportation of contain-
ers bearing non-essential goods to
warehouses, so that costs to freight
forwarders would be reduced.
“This will ease the congestion at
the ports and save costs for ship-
ping players,” he said.
Chua highlighted that when a
container is stuck at a port, storage,
demurrage and removal charges are
incurred and that if the situation is not
alleviated, the added costs would ul-
timately be passed on to consumers.
He highlighted that such costs
can average between RM75 and
RM100 a day, and when combined
can easily climb to RM3,000 a
month per 20-foot container.
While some importers and ex-
porters have applied for permits from
the relevant authorities to transport
containers, those dealing in non-es-
sential goods for small and medium
enterprises that are unable to procure
such permits will have to continue
to pay for these charges at the port.
Malaysiakini reported yesterday
the FMFF had warned that contain-
ers were now stacking up at Port
Klang, and that this was a “poten-
tial time bomb”.
PKA chairperson Ean Yong Hian
Wah was reported as saying that
the port authority will look into
reducing storage fees for contain-
ers, and that it has submitted a
list of supporting essential goods
to the transport ministry, hoping
the NSC will allow the transport
of such goods on the road.

Bursa relaxes margin
financing rules to
ease force-selling
BY AHMA D N AQ IB ID R IS
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Ma-
laysia has announced the tem-
porary relaxation of margin
financing rules to ease the pres-
sure of force-selling on the lo-
cal market, amid the coronsvi-
rus-driven equity rout.
By the same token, some
quarters have raised concerns
about the risk brought by the
measure in the scenario in
which the underlying asset
prices remain under selling
pressure.
“Due to uncertainties in
the global as well as local
market arising from the Cov-
id-19 outbreak, selling pres-
sures have impacted the share
prices, resulting in force-sell-
ing pressure on many coun-
ters and affecting investors,
especially those with margin
accounts.
“In view of the above, and
as part of the market manage-
ment measures, the exchange
will facilitate participating or-
ganisations (POs) to accord the
appropriate flexibilities to their
clients and also to manage the
POs’ credit risks.
“The measures are aimed
at mitigating the force-selling
pressure on the market, as well
as safeguarding investor in-
terest in respect of those who
have pledged their shares for
financing,” the exchange reg-
ulator said in a circular to POs
yesterday evening.
These flexibilities may also
allow investors to provide other
types of collateral for purposes
of margin financing, as may be
necessary, it said.
To facilitate these measures,
it has temporarily modified the
relevant provisions of the Rules
and Directives of Bursa Ma-
laysia.
In particular, Rule 7.30(12)
— which dictates that the PO
must liquidate the client’s mar-
gin account in the event that
the equity in the account falls
interest to raise its shareholding
in PIPP.
The two parties have agreed to
move forward to liaise with all rele-
vant governmental and regulatory
bodies in procuring necessary ap-
provals or consents, it added.
“Both Tadmax and Worldwide
will proceed to negotiate on the
terms and conditions of the sale,
including the sale consideration
after securing all the necessary ap-
provals or consents from relevant
governmental and/or regulatory
bodies,” it added.
Selangor state-linked Worldwide
below 130% of the outstanding
balance has been modified to
remove the mandatory liquida-
tion requirement.
So, the PO now has the dis-
cretion to decide whether to liq-
uidate the margin account or
otherwise, in accordance with
its credit policy.
As such, the provision in Rule
7.30(14), which states that no
further margin financing can be
extended following the events
stated in the rule above, has been
waived for consistency.
Besides that, it is no longer
mandatory for a PO to request for
additional margin, and to impose
haircuts on any collateral and
securities purchased and car-
ried in margin accounts upon the
occurrence of: i) unusual rapid
changes in value of the securi-
ties; ii) the non-existence of an
active market for the securities;
iii) suspension of the securities
from trading, or; iv) no possibility
of immediate liquidation for the
securities.
“A PO will instead have the
discretion to decide whether to
request such additional margin
or impose a haircut, in accord-
ance with its credit policy,” it
said. This is a modification to
Rule 7.30(19).
The bourse also modified a
paragraph which requires the
assignment of zero value to all
other types of collateral. Instead,
a PO must now refer to its cred-
it policy in assigning a value to
other types of collateral, includ-
ing bonds, collective investment
schemes, unit trusts, gold and
immovable properties.
The waiver and modification
of these rulings will take effect
today until Sept 30, 2020.
Bursa Malaysia also took note
of the extended movement con-
trol order and encouraged all
POs, which provide counter ser-
vices to their clients and cus-
tomers, to limit their respective
counter service hours to between
10am and 3pm during business
days.

AirAsia, AAX slash

Most of their fleet will be grounded, flights suspended from tomorrow
BY SYAHIRAH SYED JAAFAR
KUALA LUMPUR: Low-cost carri-
er AirAsia Group Bhd and its long-
haul arm AirAsia X Bhd (AAX) will
ground most of their fleet and sus-

a small number mostly within In-

The carriers are the latest to join
airlines around the globe to do so as
travel demand drops because of the
Covid-19 pandemic and cross-bor-

To further manage and contain
costs, AirAsia said its management

AirAsia explores options for long-haul unit
BY M A N UEL B A I GORRI
& EL F I E C H EW
HONG KONG: AirAsia Group Bhd
is weighing options for its long-haul
unit AirAsia X Bhd (AAX) including
introducing a financial investor to
help shore up the unit’s finances,
according to people familiar with
the matter.
The budget carrier is also studying
alternatives including getting sup-
port from Khazanah Nasional Bhd,
Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund, or
integrating AAX into the group, the
people said. Shuttering AAX could
also be one of the options, said the
people, who asked not to be identi-
fied as the discussions are private.
AirAsia, founded by Tan Sri Tony
Fernandes, has been in talks with
investment banks about strategic
options for AAX, which reported a
pact on our employees, especially
those in junior positions,” it said in
a statement yesterday.
AirAsia will temporarily suspend
all international and domestic flights
in Malaysia from tomorrow to April
21, while those operated by AirAsia
Philippines will be suspended from
March 20 to April 14.
AirAsia Thailand will halt its in-
ternational flights from March 22
to April 25, while AirAsia Indonesia
will significantly reduce its interna-
tional operations. Both airlines will
continue to operate domestic flights
but at reduced frequency.
Meanwhile, AirAsia India has
suspended its flights since Wednes-
day until India’s travel ban is lifted.
AAX will also ground most of its
planes in Malaysia from tomorrow
to May 31, while AirAsia X Thailand
has suspended its operations for
net loss of about RM490 million in
2019, the people said. The discus-
sions began even before the Cov-
id-19 pandemic disrupted global
travel, one of the people said. Bond
issuance to boost the unit’s financ-
ing has also been considered, the
person said.
Deliberations are at an early stage,
and the company has not made any
final decisions about its course of ac-
tion, the people said.
Representatives for AirAsia and
Khazanah declined to comment.
AAX suffered a setback in Novem-
ber when the US Federal Aviation
Administration banned Malaysian
carriers from adding new US routes.
The airline keeps its flights to Hon-
olulu via Osaka, making it the only
Malaysian carrier that flies to the US.
AirAsia recently sold a pass that
allows passengers to take unlimited
three months since March 16.
“We will continue to evaluate
the situation closely and we are
prepared to reinstate our services
as soon as the situation improves,
subject to the necessary regulatory
approvals,” said AirAsia.
“We believe this temporary fleet
hibernation is the right thing to
do to ensure the well-being of our
guests and employees, which will
remain as the top priority of our
business during this challenging
time,” it added.
It was previously reported that
the chief executive officers of AirA-

SunCon secures
RM508m highway
project in India
BY LA I Y IN G Y I
KUALA LUMPUR: Sunway Con-
struction Group Bhd (SunCon)
said it had received a letter of
award (LoA) on highway construc-
tion from the National Highways
Authority of India (NHAI) worth a
total of 8.64 billion rupees (RM508
million).
In a statement yesterday, Sun-
Con said the project was awarded
to the consortium company estab-
lished between Sunway Construc-
tion Sdn Bhd — a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SunCon — and RNS
Infrastructure Ltd.
India-based RNS Infrastructure
is primarily involved in infrastruc-
ture construction and has been
partnering with SunCon since
2001 and participated together in
two infrastructure projects.
SunCon said the construction
package involves developing a
new road and widening existing
road to four lanes on a 36.75km
highway stretch in the state of
Tamil Nadu, India.
“The project will be operated
under the hybrid annuity mod-
el (HAM), where NHAI will pay

Airlines’ grouping writes to Malaysia,
Asia-Pacific govts to seek financial aid
KUALA LUMPUR: The Interna-
tional Air Transport Association
(IATA) has written to the heads
of government of 18 Asia-Pacific
countries including Malaysia to
appeal for emergency support to
airlines as they fight for survival
due to loss of air travel demand
amid the Covid-19 crisis.
The other countries are Bang-
ladesh, India, Japan, Pakistan,
the Philippines, South Korea,
Thailand and Vietnam.
“For airlines, it’s apocalypse
now. There is a small and shrink-
ing window for governments to
provide a lifeline of financial sup-
port to prevent a liquidity crisis
from shuttering the industry,”
said IATA director-general and
chief executive Alexandre de
Juniac in a statement yesterday.
“Airlines are fighting for sur-
vival in every corner of the world.
Travel restrictions and evapo-
rating demand mean that, aside
from cargo, there is almost no
passenger business.
“We need them to understand
that without urgent relief, many
airlines will not be around to lead
the recovery stage. Failure to act
now will make this crisis longer
and more painful,” he added.
IATA estimates that the Cov-
id-19 crisis will reduce passen-
ger demand in Asia-Pacific by
37% this year from 2019, with
a revenue loss of US$88 billion
(RM381.04 billion). This is based
on a scenario where severe re-
remaining 60% will be paid over
a period of 15 years as fixed an-
nuity amount,” the group added.
HAM is an initiative by the
Indian government, which was
introduced as a better financial
mechanism for road develop-
ment.
SunCon noted the LoA also in-
cludes a 15-year operations and
maintenance contract, which will
bring about 70.8 million rupee
a year.
“We are pleased to clinch our
first overseas project for the year
as this is part of our plan for geo-
graphical diversification focused
on Asean and India,” said SunCon
group managing director Chung
Soo Kiong.
The development and widen-
ing work of the highway stretches
from the Thorapalli Agraharam to
the Jittandahalli sections of na-
tional highway 844.
The construction duration for
the project is estimated to be two
years, and work is expected to start
in October 2020.
SunCon shares closed up one
sen to RM1.50, valuing the com-
pany at RM1.93 billion. The coun-
ter saw 427,900 shares change
hands.
strictions on travel are lifted after
three months, followed by grad-
ual recovery.
De Juniac also pointed out
that some 2.7 million airline jobs
are at risk.
“And each of those jobs sup-
ports a further 24 in the travel and
tourism value chain. Some gov-
ernments are already respond-
ing to our urgent calls, but not
enough to make up the US$200
billion needed,” he said.
The airlines’ grouping is pro-
posing three options for govern-
ments to consider: direct finan-
cial support to passenger and
cargo carriers; loans, loan guar-
antees and support for the corpo-
rate bond market by governments
or central banks; and tax relief.
“A growing number of govern-
ments in Asia-Pacific, including
Australia, New Zealand, Singapore,
have announced financial relief
packages for the airline industry.
But we need more governments to
come on board to support the air-
line industry serving their markets,”
said IATA regional vice-president
for Asia-Pacific Conrad Clifford.
“There are over 30 million jobs
supported by the aviation indus-
try that are at stake. Also at risk is
the aviation connectivity that is
needed to support supply chains,
the flow of essential goods and
medical supplies, as well as re-
patriation flights to bring home
citizen stranded overseas,” add-
ed Clifford.

Weighed by pandemic woes,

EMS players see bleak prospects
Market leader VS Industry has warned its earnings will take a hit
BY L A I YI N G Y I
KUALA LUMPUR: Once set to be one of the
most promising sectors this year, the elec-
tronic manufacturing services (EMS) indus-
try’s prospects for the near term are looking
bleak, as the “black swan” Covid-19 pan-
demic forced many parts of the world into
a lockdown, disrupting economic activities.
Yesterday, VS Industry Bhd, the largest
EMS player locally by market capitalisation
and with the highest annual turnover, sound-
ed an alarm over its performance for the year
ending July 31, 2020 as its second-quarter
earnings declined 12% amid lower sales.
A slow order flow from customers is ex-
pected in the coming months, the group said,
given Covid-19’s extent and reach. Discussions
with prospective customers have also been
held back, in view of ongoing travel cautions
and restrictions.
“The global supply chains may experience
minor delays in shipment, as suppliers in
China are now catching up on production
since resuming operations in mid-February
2020. For the demand side, the outlook for
the next few months appears uncertain for
now,” its managing director Datuk SY Gan
said in a statement.
In addition, VS Industry said the Malay-
sian government’s 14-day movement con-
trol order (MCO), extended until April 14,
is expected to cause further impact on its
operations. “Against the aforementioned
backdrop, the group’s performance for the
current year is expected to be lower than
the previous year,” Gan said.
Widely known to be labour intensive and
heavily reliant on global supply chains, the
MCO’s impact on the EMS player is not un-
expected.
Since the MCO started, EMS players have
halted production and sought clarification and
approval from the ministry of international
trade and industry to resume operations,
according to Affin Hwang Capital Research.
The research house, having placed the
sector on “overweight” in October 2019, has
since downgraded its call to “underweight”
given the sector’s grim outlook.
“A full 28-day factory closure is likely to
negatively impact EMS players’ earnings
as they would continue to incur fixed costs
such as rental and staff despite a temporary
production halt.
“Even if they are allowed to resume produc-
tion, they are required to operate at a minimal
workforce [capped at 50%],” according to the
National Security Council. “This would result
in lower production and adversely impact
their earnings,” the research house said in a
note to clients yesterday.
In view of that and accelerating Covid-19
infections, it has cut EMS players’ earnings
forecast by 9% to 22% for financial year 2020
(FY20) to FY22, while reiterating its “sell” call
on VS Industry and ATA IMS Bhd.
In particular, it noted weak consumer sen-
timents and the global slowdown are likely
to dampen discretionary spending, meaning
EMS players are unlikely spared as they man-
ufacture mainly consumer products such as
household appliances, coffee machines and
pool cleaners.
Meanwhile, according to Datuk Seri Wong
Siew Hai, chairman of the Malaysian Amer-
ican Electronics Industry Committee at the
American Malaysian Chamber Of Commerce,
many EMS companies in Malaysia rely on
suppliers in China for their parts.
Since China’s production has been run-
ning at sub-optimal levels, EMS players have
been facing shortages. The impact is greater
on those lacking inventory.
“Even if one component does not arrive,
you cannot complete the product unless you
can find a replacement. But it is not as sim-
ple as that. To find a replacement, you need
[a] product qualification, which will take
[some] time. It is too risky. By the time you
get the qualification, the supply chain would
probably have returned to normal,” he told
The Edge Financial Daily when contacted.
Nevertheless, Gan assured that the group,
operating for over 30 years, has the experi-
ence and capabilities to weather the current
challenges. “In all, we remain positive about
the group’s long-term prospects.”
The company’s net profit for the second
quarter ended on Jan 31, 2020 retreated to
RM33.2 million from RM37.94 million a year
ago amid lower sales. Its revenue fell 16% to
RM820.33 million from RM978.99 million.
For the first half of FY20 (1HFY20), VS In-
dustry’s net profit was RM81.27 million, up
5% from RM77.75 million for 1HFY19, though
revenue dropped 10% to RM1.85 billion from
RM2.05 billion.
The improved cumulative earnings were
mainly due to smaller losses incurred at its
China operations, after adopting an asset-light
lower-cost model.
VS Industry shares closed 2.5 sen or 3.3%
lower at 72.5 sen yesterday, with a market cap-
italisation of RM1.34 billion. ATA IMS’ share
price rose three sen or 3.9% to 79.5 sen, with
a market capitalisation of RM957.48 million.
VS Industry’s share price has fallen close
to 46% since the start of this year, while ATA
IMS’ slumped 54%.
Other EMS players such as SKP Resources
Bhd and Notion Vtec Bhd also saw similar
declines. SKP is now down 45% year to date
to 74 sen, valuing it at RM924.92 million. No-
tion Vtec lost 38% to 59 sen, with a market
capitalisation of RM197.35 million.

The global supply chains may experience minor delays in shipment, as suppliers in China are now catching
up on production since resuming operations in mid-February 2020, says Gan.

Uchi Technologies warns of

double-digit revenue drop in 2020

Nevertheless, the group is confident of
remaining profitable in FY20 amid these

currently in place in Malaysia, the countries
where its customers are located are also ex-
periencing lockdowns as part of Covid-19
containment measures.
“The group will continue to closely monitor
the latest developments and take appropriate
measures to mitigate any upcoming risks, as
well as provide updates on any further devel-
opments,” it said in a bourse filing yesterday.

CMMT grants rental waiver to Airbnb seeking

to extend US$1b
debt facility
non-essential services tenants — source
BY JANE LANHEE LEE

SAN FRANCISCO: Airbnb Inc on

The 14-day waiver aims to provide immediate cost and cash flow relief
BY A DA M A ZI Z
KUALA LUMPUR: CapitaLand
Malaysia Mall Trust (CMMT) will
provide a 14-day rental waiver to
tenants who provide non-essential
services across all seven Capita-
Land malls amid the movement
control order (MCO), the trust said
yesterday.
The latest measure by Capita-
Land and CMMT aims to provide
immediate cost and cash flow re-
lief to the affected tenants, it said
in a statement.
“The health and well-being of
our community is our topmost pri-
ority and we are supportive of the
Malaysian government’s MCO in-
itiative to curb the spread of Cov-
id-19,” said CapitaLand Malaysia
retail management general man-
ager Fern Tan.
“As a show of solidarity with af-
fected tenants, we will waive rentals
to affected tenants from March 18
to 31, 2020 to partly minimise the
impact of the order. We will con-
tinue to engage our tenants and
monitor the situation closely.
“To ensure the safety of our
shoppers, tenants, and employ-
ees, we will continue to adopt pre-
cautionary measures in our malls,”
she said.
Meanwhile, Low Peck Chen,
chief executive officer of Capita-
Land Malaysia Mall REIT Man-
agement Sdn Bhd, the manager
of CMMT, said the trust is close-
ly monitoring the situation and
weighing the available options to
assist its tenants during this period
of uncertainty.
“We want to assure our affected
tenants that we take this journey
with them through this difficult
period and the rental waiver is our
way of supporting them by provid-
ing immediate relief,” Low said.
During the MCO, CapitaLand
malls remain accessible to the pub-
lic in support of the essential ser-
vices tenants.
These tenants are also offered
the flexibility to operate from no
later than 11am and close no ear-
lier than 8pm.
In accordance with the health
authorities’ guidelines, precaution-
ary measures such as temperature
checks and stepped-up cleaning
and disinfecting of common areas
have also been adopted, CMMT said.
Wednesday held a phone meet-
ing with bankers to discuss ex-
tending an existing US$1 billion
(RM4.33 billion) debt facility as
the home rental start-up grapples
with a slowdown due to Covid-19,
a source who participated in the
meeting said.
The deliberations echo that of
many US companies that have
been rushing to borrow more
money and boost their cash cof-
fers as the fallout from the pan-
demic threatens a prolonged
downturn.
Airbnb’s current debt facility
was agreed in 2016 and was led by
JPMorgan, Citigroup Inc, Morgan
Stanley, Bank of America Corp,
Goldman Sachs, and Barclays.
Airbnb has never used the
credit facility and it is not expiring

UK house sales set to drop 60% in next three months
BY JACK SIDDERS
LONDON: UK house sales are set
to plunge by 60% in the next three
months as the Covid-19 outbreak
batters the economy.
The slump in the second quar-
ter (2Q), which is usually among
the most active sales periods, will
be followed by a further decline in
the three months through Septem-
ber, according to a report yesterday
from real estate portal Zoopla. The
hit to prices should feed through
more slowly and will depend on the
extent of the economic slowdown.
“Covid-19 presents a major new
challenge,” Richard Donnell, direc-
tor of research and insight at Zoopla,
said in an emailed statement. “The
initial impact of external shocks is to
reduce consumer confidence and
put a brake on housing demand
and the number of people moving
home, which we can see in our lat-
est figures.”

try ordered by Prime Minister Bo-
ris Johnson has restricted people’s

Save jobs, support workers
Bold measures are needed to help businesses
BY L EE H E N G GU I E
THE Second Economic Stimulus
Package to address the econom-
ic crisis caused by the Covid-19
pandemic must be one that is bold
and fast, focusing on easing cash
flows and operating costs of small
and medium enterprises (SMEs)
and employers while helping to
save jobs and support workers to
preserve wages.
The economic and business dis-
ruptions aggravated by the 14-day
movement control order (MCO),
which has been extended by an-
other two weeks to April 14, has
caused companies with low cash
reserves or unstable cash flows
to be particularly vulnerable giv-
en the persistent sharp economic
slowdown envisaged in the greater
part of this year.
With no revenue and sales for the
non-essential services and slower
sales for essential services, this pos-
es a big crunch time for the cash-
strapped SMEs to meet big payroll
checks in addition to rental expens-
es, utilities bills, loan repayments,

Ismail Sabri: SOP to be tightened
in second phase of MCO
PUTRAJAYA: The standard operat-
ing procedure (SOP) for the move-
ment control order (MCO) will be
tightened to ensure full compliance.
This includes the possibility of
further restricting mobility for the
purchase of essentials, Senior Min-
ister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri
Ismail Sabri Yaakob said.
He said the new SOP was be-
ing drawn by the National Security
Council (MKN), which will then be
applied during the second phase
of the MCO.
“In the first phase, although there
were movement restrictions, there
was still some leeway, exemptions
given. The police said there was a
95% (level of public) compliance,
which shows there are still some
who are defiant.
“MKN has been asked to intro-
among others. Even businesses that
appear to be in good financial shape
may not be immune, depending on
how the situation progresses, and
how long it takes for demand and
supply shocks to subside and mar-
kets return to normalcy.
Businesses are seeking for the
government’s financial assistance
to preserve cash flow and capital as
well as protect employees as they
respond to an unprecedented sup-
ply and demand shocks as well as
global pandemic while preparing
for the eventual upturn.
SMEs will run out of cash within
two to three months, and will not
be in financial good shape for the
next six months to a year, if the cri-
sis and the Covid-19 pandemic do
not abate. SMEs have to bear high
fixed employees’ salaries and wages
even as sales decline. A prolonged
MCO would push the companies on
the brink of bankruptcy, resulting
in more lay-off of workers.
SMEs currently make up 98.5%
of total business establishments in
Malaysia; 38.3% of gross domestic
product (GDP); 17.3% of total ex-
duce a new and stricter SOP, so after
this, there would be restrictions in
terms of movement for the purchase
of essentials, food, shopping and so
on,” he said after chairing the Special
Ministerial Committee meeting on
the MCO yesterday.
Ismail Sabri said this decision
had to be made as 5% of Malaysians
are still defying MCO directives, de-
spite countless reminders.
“I have explained, and have given
reminders that police may change
their approach from merely advising
to taking more stern action. This is
actually what the people want the
government to do as I myself have
received many messages for strict
action to be taken.
“The police and the army re-
ported that despite markets and
supermarkets complying with social
ports and 66.1% of total employment.
The biggest problem is cash flow,
especially for the payment of wages
and salaries to prevent massive re-
trenchments. Rising retrenchments
not only cause hardship to house-
holds but also inflict downward
spiral effects on domestic demand
and grind the economy to a halt.
It is a long-haul battle. The fiscal
and monetary as well as financial
supports need to save businesses,
preserve jobs and strengthen our
economic resilience.
It is proposed that the govern-
ment provides employers with wage
credit support or 70% wage subsidy
per employee up to six months to
ease their employment costs and
help to retain employees. At least,
the wage subsidy should be given
to businesses during the MCO peri-
od as a majority of SMEs are facing
acute cash flows due to plunging
sales and even no revenue, but still
have to pay wages and salaries,
rental expenses, utility bills and
other commitments.
The government can also consid-

still customers who do not adhere
to them.
“It is the same on the roads, al-
though the cities appear empty, the
fact that there are still long queues at
roadblocks show that many, besides
those who enter the city to work, are
still venturing out,” he said.
Strict action had begun on
Wednesday after the authorities
arrested 110 persons for disobey-
ing the MCO.
Ismail Sabri said more road-
blocks will also be mounted in
red zones such as the Sri Petaling
mosque and the Selayang whole-
sale market.
At the same time, he also gave an
assurance that vehicles transport-
ing food items will be given easier

conditions for approving the loan ap-

a) Companies can provide proof to
banks of their payroll statements

This will help them to retain

The dollar crunch is Europe’s gift to Asia
The last crisis shook up banking in the region. So could this one

anks in Asia are sud-
denly shy to part with
dollars. And who can
blame them? Many
of their corporate cli-
ents are borrowing the
US currency and depositing it with
the same banks — just in case they
cannot get the funding when they
need it.
The caution amid the Covid-19
outbreak is not all that different from
Amazon.com Inc trying to discour-
age vendors from cornering toilet
paper supplies. “Corporate banks are
becoming a bit more discretionary
about permitting draws on credit
lines where hoarding cash is the sole
objective,” according to Greenwich
Associates consultant Gaurav Arora.
The dollar squeeze is evident,
as one of us wrote on Monday, in
the hefty premiums South Korean
banks must fork out to borrow the
US currency — a reliable indicator
of trouble in the past. It also appears
that China’s banks may be less ea-
ger or able than before to fund the
dollar needs of their corporate bor-
rowers, Bloomberg’s Anjani Trivedi
noted on Wednesday.
For Asia, the crunch is an un-
wanted gift from European lenders,
whose departure from the region
post-2008, as well as regulations
that reined in Wall Street firms,
have led to a funding hole. Japan’s
banks have expanded and lenders
like BNP Paribas SA have scaled up
trade finance, but they are yet to
fill the void, especially as troubled
Deutsche Bank AG shrinks. The
German lender was in the top five
corporate banks in Asia in 2014; last
year, it was not even in the top 10,
according to Greenwich.

An extra US$2 trillion? Treasury market says no problem
BY B R I A N C HA PPAT TA
IF there were ever a time for bond
traders to be fearful of out-of-con-
trol US deficits, it would have been
Wednesday.
After all, the Trump adminis-
tration and congressional leaders
agreed overnight to an unprece-
dented US$2 trillion (RM8.67 tril-
lion) stimulus package to help miti-
gate some of the economic damage
caused by the Covid-19 outbreak.
No one is asking “how will we pay
for it?” The answer is obvious: pil-
ing on to the US$23.5 trillion na-
tional debt.
Barclays plc strategists Anshul
Pradhan and Andres Mok were
among the first to put hard esti-
mates to the expected surge in sales
of US Treasuries, and the figures
are as staggering as expected. The
Treasury Department will have a
US$2.6 trillion financing need in
2020, they wrote, and about half of

rea have felt the loss more keenly
than others. UK banks’ exposure
to South Korea has dwindled to
US$77 billion from US$104 billion
in the first quarter of 2008. German
lenders’ claims have fallen to US$13
billion from US$36 billion.
Japan’s lenders have taken up
part of the slack. Driven by nega-
tive interest rates and ageing de-
mographics at home, they have
dished out funds aggressively in
Southeast Asia as well as to global
deal-chasing clients like SoftBank
Group Corp. The large US opera-
tions of mega banks like Mitsubishi
UFJ Financial Group Inc (MUFG)
also provide them with liquidity,
as does their stack of fully convert-
ible, cheap yen deposits. But some
Japanese lenders have piled into
off-balance sheet products, which
suck liquidity in times of stress. Ja-
that will likely be covered by short-
term T-bills. The net issuance of
longer-term notes and bonds will
rise to US$1.35 trillion this year, up
from about US$1 trillion in 2019,
and it will grow to US$1.8 trillion
in 2021. As a reminder, the largest
US deficit in modern history was
US$1.4 trillion in fiscal 2009, which
shrank for five of the next six years
to as little as US$442 billion by 2015.
It is hard to see this gap winnowing
anytime soon.
And yet, the world’s biggest bond
market rallied. Benchmark 10-year
and 30-year yields fell by about four
basis points, settling into what ap-
pear to be their new comfort zones
of 0.8% and 1.35% respectively. A
month ago, those levels would have
easily represented new record lows.
Even five-year notes gained, despite
Barclays forecasting that “the bulk of
the increase” in new debt would be
around that point. A US$41 billion
auction of the maturity on Wednes-
pan’s Norinchukin Bank, a lender to
farmers and fishermen, was one of
the world’s largest buyers last year
of collateralised loan obligations,
bundled US leveraged loans.
When the US Federal Reserve
(Fed) extended emergency swap
lines to South Korea, Australia, Sin-
gapore and New Zealand last week
to ease the worldwide dollar short-
age, a step that our colleague Shuli
Ren called for here, it was a sign
that the liquidity problem was se-
rious enough. Overall, the Fed gave
temporary access to nine authori-
ties in addition to the five that it has
permanent arrangements with for
making dollars available. Emerging
economies like India, Indonesia,
Chile and Peru, though, have seen
their requests for swap lines rebuffed
in the past. The US only helps those

day was strong, with the yield lower
than the market indicated before
the sale. The S&P 500 Index is up,
so the Treasury market’s advance
could hardly be chalked up to a
pure bid for haven assets.
So, what is going on? Exact-
ly what you would expect when
a price-insensitive buyer like the
US Federal Reserve (Fed) pledges
to buy as much as necessary for
the Treasury market to function
normally.
It is starting to look as if that
“whatever it takes” number is go-
ing to be almost as huge as the
fiscal stimulus package. “Despite
unprecedented US Treasury pur-
chases as part of the Fed’s new QE
programme, there is little to no risk
that the central bank will run out
of securities to purchase,” BMO
Capital Markets’s Jon Hill wrote on
Wednesday.
BMO agrees with Barclays that
much of the deficit spike will be fi-
of its own banking system.
So what can Asia do? Start with
the most extreme case. Australia
needs US dollar funding not just for
foreign currency loans but also for
Australian dollar mortgages. That is
because the domestic deposit base
is small, compared with the size of
the banking industry. The average
loan-to-deposit ratio of Macquarie
Bank Ltd and other major Austral-
ian lenders was 126% versus 68%
for the top Asian banks, namely
DBS Group Holdings Ltd, Mizuho
Financial Group Inc, MUFG, Stand-
ard Chartered plc (StanChart) and
HSBC Holdings plc, according to
banking analyst Daniel Tabbush,
founder of Tabbush Report.
Offshore funding sustains
around one-third of major Aus-
tralian banks’ total worldwide op-
erations. While the International
nanced with short-term debt. That
is important because the Fed’s pol-
icy bars it from owning more than
70% of any single Treasury — soon
it will need new ones to buy. “These
borrowing needs will eliminate any
scepticism that the Fed will be able
to source securities to complete
their QE purchases as the federal
government will always make more
USTs (US Treasuries),” Hill said.
For now, the Fed is adding about
US$25 billion a day in debt due
within 27 months, according to
Hill. At its current pace of buying
US$75 billon or more a day across
maturities, the central bank would
add a whopping US$1.6 trillion to
its balance sheet in a month. The
previous record for a month was
March 2011, at US$120 billion.
Let those last two lines sink in
for a moment. The Fed is on pace
to buy Treasuries in an order of
magnitude 13 times greater than
any other time in its history.
COMMENT 13
Monetary Fund and others have
flagged the reliance on foreigners
as problematic, the Australian reg-
ulators have so far refrained from
discouraging lenders to borrow
abroad. Yet, the fact that the coun-
try had to seek dollars from the Fed
during the epidemic upheaval and
auction them to its banks will call
into question the sagacity of this
relaxed approach.
In rest of Asia, one lesson from
the dollar squeeze is to shun protec-
tionism. Well-capitalised regional
banks like Singapore’s DBS could
supplement the three traditionally
entrenched foreign lenders: HSBC,
StanChart and Citigroup Inc, a big
cash management bank for Western
multinationals. DBS could emerge
as an Asian global bank, though in
good times its expansion has been
stymied by regulators playing to
nationalist political sentiment, as
we saw when it was not allowed
to buy Indonesia’s PT Bank Dan-
amon in 2013.
The next step may be to seek more
intermediaries with scale. JPMorgan
Chase & Co is pumping top dollar
into serving corporate treasuries as
a safeguard against the fickle for-
tunes of investment banking. Japan’s
lenders could also do more: MUFG
is already one of the region’s most
aggressive lenders and has the his-
torical advantage of having a dollar
clearing licence, like HSBC.
Unlike 2008, this is not a credit
contagion yet, though that could
change if large, messy financial
bankruptcies were to erupt. But
beyond the current crisis, the
regulators must plan for the next
squeeze. Since not everyone can
rely on the Fed, the dollar supply
chain is each country’s responsi-
bility. At least until a credible al-
ternative to the US currency comes
along. — Bloomberg
I wrote earlier this week about
the Fed’s “infinite cash” and how it
will be put to the test like never be-
fore given the huge increase in debt
over the past decade. This is precise-
ly what I meant. The US Treasury
market has grown to US$17 trillion
from less than US$5 trillion around
this time in 2008. Yes, foreign inves-
tors bought bonds, as did Ameri-
cans in search of safe income. But
in times of distress, the central bank
has shown it will gobble up much
of what the Treasury sells to keep
the world’s borrowing benchmarks
in line. It is going back to that tried
and true method in a big way to off-
set any incoming pressure from the
federal government’s stimulus bill.
“People don’t realise: the Fed
will win. The Fed has unlimited bul-
lets,” Rick Rieder, BlackRock Inc’s
global chief investment officer of
fixed income, said on Wednesday.
Bond traders, at least, are getting
the picture. — Bloomberg

Singapore boosts virus

It draws on national reserves for the first time since the global financial crisis
BY FA R I S MOK H TA R

SINGAPORE: Singapore delivered
a second stimulus package of S$48
billion (RM144.43 billion) to fight the
Covid-19 outbreak, drawing on na-
tional reserves for the first time since
the global financial crisis to support
an economy heading for recession.
The additional spending will
push up the government’s virus-re-

or 11% of gross domestic product

ECB will not apply limits on
Covid-19 bond purchases
It is opening itself to new court challenges
BY B A L A Z S KORA N Y I
FRANKFURT: The European Cen-

self-imposed purchase limits on a
€750 billion (RM3.55 trillion) Cov-
id-19 crisis-fighting bond purchase
scheme, it said in a legal text, opening
itself to new court challenges.
Bond buys were previously
capped at 33% of each country’s
debt but the ECB said that under
the temporary pandemic emergency
purchase programme (PEPP), these
will not apply.
This may present the ECB a fresh
challenge as the European Court of
Justice specifically pointed to these
limits in a late 2018 ruling when it ar-
gued that the ECB was not breaching
a prohibition of monetary financing.
“The ECB faces legal risks and a
political backlash down the road,
but this historic decision is consist-
ent with the initial PEPP announce-
ment including the ECB’s commit-
ment to revisiting self-imposed
limits,” Pictet wealth management
strategist Frederik Ducrozet said.

Britain eases financial
reporting rules during
virus pandemic
BY HU W J O NE S
LONDON: Britain’s financial regu-
lators announced a welter of meas-
ures yesterday to give companies
more time to publish results and
banks more leeway for handling
troubled loans.
Britain’s economy has gone into
lockdown during the Covid-19 cri-
sis and a recession is predicted,
making it difficult for companies
to assess earnings.
The Bank of England’s Prudential
Regulation Authority (PRA), the Fi-
nancial Conduct Authority and audit-
ing regulator the Financial Reporting
Council (FRC) said the reduction in
activity could be “sharp and large”.
But activity was likely to rebound
sharply once social distancing meas-
ures are lifted, they forecast.
In the meantime, the measures
would ensure information continues
to flow to investors and the capital
market keeps functioning, the three
watchdogs said in a joint statement.

Britain-based
airlines seek
industry tax
breaks
BY S A R A H YO UN G
LONDON: A representative body
for airlines based in Britain has
written to its transport minister
seeking industry-specific tax and
air traffic fee holidays to help
survive the Covid-19 pandemic
that has brought air travel to a
standstill.
easyJet, IAG-owned British Air-
ways and Virgin Atlantic have no
revenue coming in, forcing them
to ground hundreds of planes, and
putting thousands of jobs and the
future of the sector at risk.
Airlines UK asked Transport
Minister Grant Shapps for a six-
month suspension in air passen-
ger duty, and a waiver of air traf-
fic control and related charges
through the rest of 2020, as well as
relief from European Union (EU)
flight compensation rules.
“We believe a number of such
measures are necessary to enable
aviation both to deal with the on-
going crisis in the short term but
also to support and accelerate a
strong UK recovery later in the
year,” it said in Wednesday’s letter.
The request came after Finance
Minister Rishi Sunak’s blow to
hopes for a specific aviation rescue
package when he said the govern-
ment would only provide support
if airlines could not raise capital
from other sources, such as exist-
ing investors. — Reuters
UK retail sales
stagnate in
February,
before virus hit
BY DAV ID MIL L IK E N
LONDON: British retail sales
stagnated last month in their
weakest performance in nearly
seven years, official data showed
yesterday, even before what
shops expect to be the biggest
fall in sales for over a decade due
to Covid-19-imposed shutdowns.
Sales volumes were flat in Feb-
ruary compared with the same
month in 2019 after growth of
0.9% in January, the Office for
National Statistics said.
This was the first time sales
have not grown since March 2013,
when Britain was hit by the heav-
iest snowfall in 30 years, and be-
low economists’ forecasts in a
Reuters poll for annual growth
to hold broadly steady at 0.8%.
The outlook for retailers appears
bleak, especially outside the food
sector which has seen a tempo-
rary surge in demand as Britons
stockpiled supplies in case they
are trapped at home by illness or
growing restrictions on movement.

Automakers are fearful of being

Go now: Australia tells cruise ships to leave

SYDNEY: Australia ordered two
cruise ships to leave its waters yes-

Sydney Harbour last week became
the primary source of infection in
the country’s Covid-19 outbreak.
Although well below levels else-
where in the world, the pace of Aus-
tralia’s infections is starting to pick
up speed, reaching nearly 2,800
cases and 13 deaths.
The government of West Aus-

seven of 800 foreign passengers on
board tested positive for the virus,
unless there was a “life threatening
emergency”.

to fight
virus slump

(BoE) and Britain’s finance min-
istry would resume their coordi-
nated drive yesterday to prevent
the Covid-19-related shutdown of
swathes of the economy from trig-
gering a long and deep recession.
The BoE, which has made two
emergency cuts to interest rates
this month, boosted its bond-buy-
ing programme by a further 9%
of British economic output, and
taken a string of other measures
to help lending, is likely to hold off
on further action when it makes
a statement at 1200 GMT after its
scheduled March meeting.
Governor Andrew Bailey, who
has been in the job for less than
two weeks, and other top BoE
officials have suggested they will
not cut the Bank Rate from its new
all-time low of 0.1% into negative
territory.
Instead, they are likely to un-
derscore their determination to
take more radical measures —
probably a further increase in their
quantitative easing programme —
if needed to steer Britain’s econ-
omy out of its expected slump.
Andrew Bailey and
other top BoE officials
have suggested
they will not cut
the Bank Rate.
This week, the US Federal Re-
serve took the unprecedented step
of saying it will expand its asset
purchases by as much as needed to
stabilise frantic financial markets.
“Our guess is... that no further
purchases will be announced to-
morrow,” JPMorgan economist
Allan Monks said in a note to cli-
ents on Wednesday.
“But we think the BoE will end
up announcing additional asset
purchases by the May meeting,
especially if it becomes clear that
the fiscal deficit is likely to exceed
10% of GDP (gross domestic prod-
uct) as we suspect.”
Finance Minister Rishi Sunak,
who has unveiled a string of huge,
debt-funded stimulus measures,
was expected to explain yesterday
how he plans to support Britain’s
five million self-employed work-
ers through the crisis.

US playing a dangerous

TAIPEI: China accused the US yes-
terday of playing a dangerous game
with its support for Taiwan, after
a US warship passed through the
sensitive Taiwan Strait following
heightened military tension be-

China has been angered by the
Trump administration’s stepped-

siders its own, such as more arms
sales, US patrols near Taiwan, and
last month’s visit to Washington by
Taiwan Vice President-elect Wil-

guided-missile destroyer USS Mc-

tails, saying an investigation was

Cheng, who has not been for-

custody and declined comment.
Separately, police confirmed
on social media that the Sec-
retary for Justice filed a lawsuit
against an unnamed woman for
contempt of court against “doxx-
ing” of police.
Doxxing refers to publicly re-

Taiwan’s defence ministry said
the ship sailed north through the
waterway and was monitored by
Taiwan’s armed forces, on what it
called an “ordinary mission”, add-
ing there was no cause for alarm.
In Beijing, Chinese defence min-
istry spokesman Ren Guoqiang
denounced “continued negative
actions” by the US on Taiwan, in-
cluding sailings through and flights
over the Taiwan Strait.
“US moves have seriously in-
terfered in China’s internal affairs,
severely harmed peace and stability
in the Taiwan Strait and poisoned
Sino-US military ties,” Ren told a
monthly news conference.
The actions were “extremely
dangerous”, he added.
Taiwan is China’s most sensitive
territorial and diplomatic issue and
Beijing has never ruled out the use
of force to bring the island under its
donesian journalist Veby Mega
Indah during anti-government
protests in September last year.
No such post was visible on
Cheng’s Facebook page yester-
day.
Veby is blind in one eye as a
result of the incident.
Pro-Beijing lawmaker Eliza-
beth Quat said on her Facebook
page she had filed a complaint
against Cheng, accusing her of
violating an injunction order of
the Office of the Privacy Commis-
sioner for Personal Data.
The injunction was imposed
last year to prevent people from
sharing the personal details of
police officers and their fami-
lies after some came under at-
tack when their identities and
contact details were exposed by
protesters.

tention, which carries a fine of
HK$5,000 (RM2,795) and a jail
term of up to two years, was
outdated and unconstitutional,

The law refers, among oth-
er things, to anyone who ex-
cites disaffection against “the

told reporters in a teleconference
briefing. — Bloomberg

Real bargain chances to
come with house price fall?
Housing prices in Malaysia are under
pressure and buyers could pick up
some real bargains soon as the current
COVID-19 outbreak drags the property
prices lower, according to real estate
consultancy Savills Malaysia managing
director Datuk Paul Khong.
Coupled with the country’s own
internal political and economic issues,
he said the Movement Control Order
imposed by the government to stem
the spread of COVID-19 which began on
March 18 until April 14 (extended from
the initial date of March 31) will see many
sectors, including the property sector,
struggling because of limited business
activities.

Founder and executive chairman of
Top Glove Corp Bhd Tan Sri Dr Lim
Wee Chai has emerged as LBS Bina
Group Bhd’s substantial sharehold-
er after purchasing 103.13 million
shares or a 6.81% stake.
In a filing to Bursa Malaysia
earlier this week, LBS Bina said the
shares were purchased by Lim via
direct business transactions between
March 19 and 24 at RM0.32 apiece or
RM33 million from LBS Bina’s single
largest shareholder Gaterich Sdn
Bhd, which is left with a 35.88% stake
in LBS Bina, post disposal.

COVID-19 not deterring Hong Kong

interest in Malaysian properties
BY TA N AI LE N G
PETALING JAYA: From the political
turmoil which resulted in a change
in government to the COVID-19
pandemic that has placed the coun-
try in partial lockdown coupled
with the stock market meltdown
— recent developments in Malay-
sia have been far from favourable.
However, it seems like they have
not dampened property buying
interest from Hong Kong inves-
tors who are looking at Malaysia’s
long-term growth potential, said
Starcity Global managing director
Florence Ten.
No doubt the recent COVID-19
outbreak has impacted her business
promoting Malaysian properties in
Hong Kong as road shows and invest-
ment seminars had to be cancelled.
To keep business running, Ten
and her team switched to social me-
dia platform postings, videos and
live seminars to promote Malaysia
as the destination for a second home.
To her surprise, enquiries from
Hong Kong have continued to be
unrelenting although the number
of COVID-19 cases in Malaysia has
been rising by the day.
“There are still enquiries about
the Malaysia My Second Home
(MM2H) application process and
familiarisation packages.
“For instance, a live video stream-
ing on the MM2H programme that
we had recently received 30 phone
calls right after the session ended and
10 of them signed up for the famil-
iarisation package with us,” she told
EdgeProp.my in a phone interview.
The familiarisation package of-
fered by Starcity Global is for inter-
ested Hongkongers who want to vis-
it Malaysia for one or two weeks to
check out local schools, healthcare
centres and other amenities, as well
as take part in property viewings.
The aim is for them to experience
life in Malaysia.
MOHD IZWAN MOHD NAZAM | THE EDGE
“Hongkongers still
interested to purchase
properties in Malaysia,
mainly eyeing for the
rental income.” — Woo
In early February, before Ma-
laysia came under the Movement
Control Order (MCO) from March
18 to April 14 to curb the spread of
the virus, international schools had
imposed a restriction on foreigners
to self-quarantine for 14 days before
visiting the schools. Despite that, the
Hongkongers who signed up for the
familiarisation package were unde-
terred as none cancelled their trips.
“They were willing to come to
Malaysia and follow the 14-day
self-quarantine to have a feel of
staying in Malaysia,” said Ten. In
fact, she disclosed that in February,
her company had closed over 20
property deals for MM2H visa holders.
The World Health Organization
had declared the COVID-19 outbreak
a global pandemic on March 11, 2020.
In Malaysia, the confirmed COVID-19
cases have surged beyond 2,000 with
at least 23 deaths as of March 26.
One of the measures of the MCO
is banning all Malaysians from trav-
elling abroad and for all foreigners
from entering Malaysia.
Undeterred, the Starcity Glob-
al Hong Kong branch office has
remained active by handling cus-

tomers’ enquiries through online
platforms or messaging apps.
Meanwhile, Kith and Kin Realty
Sdn Bhd co-founder Freeman Woo
concurred that Hongkongers are
still very interested in investing in
properties in Malaysia, especially
for rental income.
According to him, he and his
team have concluded 10 such deals
in the first two months of the year.
The MCO did impact his business
though, as the company had to re-
schedule all appointments that fell
within the MCO period.
“We [originally] had over 30
viewing appointments within these
two weeks. The majority are Hong-
kongers and some [other] foreign
buyers. Some of them even insisted
on continuing the viewing even af-
ter we told them about the restric-
tion order,” said Woo.
Malaysia still a safe
place to stay
“Hongkongers in Malaysia” social
media platform administrator Gary
Crestejo said there were not many
Hongkongers who fled in panic after
the MCO announcement.

“Enquiries still come
in even though the
physical roadshows
and seminars have
been called off.” — Ten
Malaysia is still a safe place to
stay as long as all necessary pre-
cautions are taken, noted Creste-
jo, who is also the sole franchisee
of Hong Kong’s Chee Kee Wonton
Noodle in Malaysia.
“Some of them chose to go back
to Hong Kong two weeks ago when
they saw the number of COVID-19
cases rising in Malaysia, but the
majority of them decided to stay
as the country has a lower density
of people, which means lower risk
of getting infected, with proper
precautions,” he said.
The necessary prevention meas-
ures include wearing a face mask
when outside and washing hands
with soap or alcohol sanitisers reg-
ularly. It is also crucial to stay away
from crowded places to avoid in-
fections, something that is hard to
do in Hong Kong as it is one of the
most densely populated cities in
the world, noted Crestejo.
According to him, there are at
least 2,000 Hong Kong citizens stay-
ing in Malaysia under the MM2H
programme — a 10-year renewable
visa programme for eligible foreign-
ers with the objective to promote
Malaysia as an ideal place to stay
and invest.
The World Population Review
stated that Hong Kong has a pop-
ulation density of 17,311 people
per square mile (or 6,659 people
per sq km), the second-highest in
the world. In comparison, Malay-
sia’s population density is around
100 people per sq km.
Another reason Hongkongers
have chosen to remain in Malaysia
during the MCO is the island city
has imposed a mandatory 14-day
self-quarantine on those who enter
the country.
For those who are in the midst
of applying for an MM2H visa how-
ever, they have no choice but to fly
back home.
Meanwhile, Ten from Starcity
Global expects the approval of the
MM2H visa to be slower as the ser-
vice counters of the MM2H centre
are closed during the MCO, as in-
structed by the Ministry of Tour-
ism, Arts and Culture Malaysia, to
ensure the staff of MM2H Centre is
not exposed to the virus from the
high number of foreigners crowd-
ing at the counters.
All new applications must be
submitted by courier only. For with-
drawal and termination of appli-
cations, the required documents
should be submitted by e-mail at
mm2h@motac.gov.my.
For applications involving pay-
ments to the immigration at the
MM2H Centre, the applicant must
make an appointment with the
immigration officer at the MM2H
Centre. All endorsements of new
applications are suspended, ac-
cording to a ministry statement.
Nevertheless, the ministry
stressed that the temporary clo-
sure of all counters at MM2H will
not affect this programme as new
applications or related process-
es can be done via alternative
procedures.

Real estate agents adapt to working from home

BY C H I N WA I LUN
PETALING JAYA: Real estate agents and ne-
gotiators are facing challenges working from
home during the Movement Control Order
(MCO) period being enforced to stem the
spread of the COVID-19 outbreak in Malaysia.
Those who have so far used the traditional

rior to the COVID-19
pandemic, it was a
well-known fact that
the property industry
has been soft due to excess sup-
ply in the market. Unfortunate-
ly, the pandemic has disrupted
many, if not all sectors, includ-
ing the property industry, not
only here but across the globe.
The government’s MCO is nec-
essary for the greater good of all
Malaysians. We also appreciate
the hard work and effort of our
frontliners especially our health-
care providers in ensuring the
health and safety of the rakyat.
We expect the days ahead to be
challenging for the industry and
for the country. We will have a
mountain to climb this year due
to the significant COVID-19 im-
pact on the economy, employ-
ment and consumers.
It is also likely to hasten more
widespread digital customer en-
gagements and possibly even
be the catalyst for a disruption
in the industry. For Sime Darby

“Given the contin-
ued interest in prop-
erty and for our customers to
be able to buy property from
the comfort and safety of their
own homes, SDP has deployed
an Online Guided Sales Experi-
ence campaign from March 25
to April 14 where our sales ex-
ecutives will guide our custom-
ers through the products on sale
— from enquiries right through
to booking a unit — all without
physically going to a sale gallery.
The government has an-
nounced measures to stimu-
late the overall economy, which
mainly address the need to put
more cash in the hands of the
people and provide some relief
to businesses impacted by COV-
ID-19.
Rehda has proposed that the
HOC be extended, which we sup-
port strongly, as it had proved to
be a success. In addition to Reh-
da’s proposals, we would also like
to suggest for the government to:
Զ Provide an extension of time
for the handover of vacant pos-
session for developers affected
by the MCO or COVID-19
Զ Relax the lending criteria for
end-financing
Զ Allow the implementation of
the DIBS for first-time home-
buyers
Զ Deferment or payment in in-
stalment for land conversion

OVID-19 is the black
swan, the spanner in
the works vis-à-vis a
property market on the
verge of a recovery. The scenario
is now completely changed with
the macro economy thrown into a
tailspin. The property market will
take a hit in the short to medium
term. Depending on how fast we
can overcome the pandemic, we
will see a further push back for
the property market’s recovery.
Property developers that have
benefited from the 2019 HOC will
be able to weather the storm as
unbilled sales flow in the next two
years. This will provide some cash-
flow cushion for the coming one or
two years. I can foresee launches
being delayed or postponed. Some
of these launches may be delayed
to the fourth quarter of 2020.

Kind landlords reduce rents to help tenants
BY TA N AI LE N G
PETALING JAYA: What will you do
when your tenant requests a rent
cut because of financial difficul-
ties due to the impact of the global
COVID-19 outbreak?
With no questions asked, land-
ladies Jennifer Wong and Cynthia
Lim decided to reduce the rent-
al fees to help their tenants get
through this difficult time.
Lim, a recruitment manager in
an information technology (IT)
company, is renting out her studio
apartment in Cyberjaya, Selangor
for RM1,000 a month to a Filipino
IT consultant working in the area.
Recently, her tenant had asked
for a rental reduction, saying
her family in the Philippines has
been badly impacted by the gov-
ernment’s “enhanced community
quarantine” measures to curb the
spread of COVID-19 in the country.
The strict lockdown requires
the entire household to be house-
bound, resulting in her family be-
ing cut off from earning an income.
Hence, the tenant had to use her
savings to support her family over
there.
“We have been landlord-tenant
for over two years. She is a nice

Lim: This is the least I could do to
help the tenant and her family.
lady. I believe the rent cut request
could alleviate her financial bur-
den, hence I decided to reduce
her rental by 10%. This is the least
I could do,” Lim told EdgeProp.my
during a phone interview.
The 10% rental reduction may
not seem like much, but to Lim,
it means that she has to dig more
into her savings to pay the monthly
instalment for the apartment.
“Rent rates of units in the same
building have increased to as high
as RM1,500, but I didn’t increase
her rental as she has been a good
paymaster and takes good care of

my apartment, ” added Lim.
“I understand her pain for be-
ing unable to be with her family.
We are facing a similar situation
in Malaysia with the COVID-19 so
helping each other is the best way
to survive this crisis,” she said.
Wong, who also received a re-
quest for a rental cut from her ten-
ant recently, concurred that lend-
ing a helping hand during tough
times is important. She reduced
her monthly rental by 15%.
The tenant, a personal care ser-
vice provider, has been renting the
ground floor of Wong’s shop office

unit in Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya,
Selangor since 2017 for RM4,300
a month.
Being an entrepreneur herself,
Wong knows that when business
is bad, high overhead costs are a
big problem.
“Actually I had the same experi-
ence a few years back. I had asked
for a reduction on rental due to
cashflow problems. The landlord
reduced the rental for that month
and it helped me get through those
tough times. Now, I should help
others as well,” the real estate agent
told EdgeProp.my.
A little help means a lot
A little goes a long way for tenants
who are facing cashflow problems.
For a beautician, who only wants
to be known as Ann, she is grateful
to have received close to 15% cut in
rent recently, allowing her to use
the savings to pay the salary of her
only staff in the shop.
Owning a small beauty salon
in Petaling Jaya, Ann’s business
mainly relied on residents or office
workers in the area. The monthly
rental for the 1,650 sq ft retail unit
was around RM4,000 a month.
She felt the first hit after Chi-
nese New Year when the number

of COVID-19 cases spiked in China
and was gradually rising in Malay-
sia. Things became worse when the
situation escalated nationwide and
a Movement Control Order (MCO)
was enforced on March 18.
“On average, we will have around
three to four customers daily. But
after Chinese New Year, my regu-
lar customers stopped coming and
for consecutive days, we would
have no customers at all,” Ann
shared.
She explained the situation to
her landlord and asked for a reduc-
tion on the rent. To her surprise,
the landlord agreed.
“I was really touched. In times
like these, she may also be strug-
gling. The rental discount might not
be able to solve all my problems
but it helps me get through the
month. I hope all these (COVID-19)
could be resolved soon,” said the
32-year old.
The global COVID-19 outbreak
which started in January 2020 was
declared a global pandemic on
March 11, 2020. In Malaysia, con-
firmed COVID-19 cases have surged
to more than 2,000 with at least
23 deaths as at March 26. Prime
Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin
declared the MCO on March 16.
