The stories on PDZ Holdings Bhd (PDZ) are just getting hotter by the day! Talk has it now that Malaysia’s billionaire tycoon, Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary may be eyeing a controlling stake in PDZ.
This comes in just after PDZ’s largest shareholder Pelaburan Mara Bhd had disposed of its entire shareholding of 50.62 million shares or a 5.71 per cent stake in the company.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia on July 9, PDZ said the disposal of the shares were done in the open market on July 3. Interestingly, the selling by Pelaburan Mara did not deter the buying pattern in the stock.
The shares still traded actively on Thursday (July 9). It was also the most actively traded stock across the bourse. PDZ shares were heavily traded, with its price rising 11.5 sen or 127.78 per cent to 20.5 sen, giving it a market capitalisation of RM181.75 million.
The stock rose as high as 23 sen in early morning trade and a total of 590 million shares were traded. On Wednesday (July 8) a total 1.33 billion shares exchanged hands.
The July 8 trading could be pointed to recent news mentioning that PDZ has won a RM600 million contract in China from a large e-commerce platform operator. The shares, which were trading at three sen apiece at end-2019, have been climbing since the group returned to the black in its first quarter ended March 31, 2020 with a net profit of RM130,000, compared with a net loss of RM437,000 a year earlier.
Back to Syed Mokhtar, we think he could be interested in PDZ and is looking at a synergistic value between the company and MMC, which could help widen his business empire.
PDZ is involved in the container liner business and logistics. According to its website, it operates six vessels that cover domestic and regional trade between Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and Myanmar.
MMC’s business under the ports and logistics division include the operations of Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas Sdn Bhd, Johor Port Bhd, Northport (Malaysia) Bhd, Penang Port Sdn Bhd, Tanjung Bruas Port Sdn Bhd and Kontena Nasional Bhd.
Internationally, MMC has presence in Saudi Arabia via Red Sea Gateway Terminal Company Ltd, a container port terminal within the Jeddah Islamic Port.
It was reported that the local share market hit a new milestone yesterday as trading volume rose to a record high of 11.81 billion shares, and driving this was a rush for penny stocks.
The all time high buying of penny stocks resulted in a total trading turnover of RM4.36 billion across the local bourse.
A penny stock refers to a small company’s stock that typically trades for less than 30 sen per share. Yesterday, 17 out of the total 20 most active counters across Bursa were trading at less than 30 sen a piece.
One counter alone, namely PDZ Holdings Bhd, saw 1.33 billion shares traded, which is about 11% of the bourse’s total volume.
Its warrants, PDZ-WB, also saw some 492.71 million units done. Altogether, the mother stock and its warrants made up 15.4% of the day’s total.
Inter-Pacific Securities Sdn Bhd Head Of Research, Victor Wan reportedly said that more and more investors have been seen shifting their funds to the equities market in search of better returns.
Philip Capital Sdn Bhd Chief Investment Officer, Ang Kok Heng pointed to high confidence levels among investors as a possible key to yesterday’s penny stock rush.
He told an English daily that the timing has been good for investors who managed to ride on the rally that started from March’s low point.
PDZ saw close to 450 million shares traded this morning before the day’s closing at 12.30 p.m. The stock rose as high as 23 sen yesterday and also this morning.
What is brewing in PDZ, a shipping and logistics firm? There’s a lot of talk in the market that PDZ has won a RM600 million logistics contract from a top e-commerce platform operator in China.
PDZ may have got the logistics contract from Alibaba Group or Tencent Holdings Ltd who currently dominate the China e-commerce market with platforms such as Taobao and JD.com Inc.
Additionally, we now believe that PDZ has attracted a large investor in the United States and word has it that it could either be Amazon or eBay.
We cannot confirm this but we do know that this large US-based investor is believed to be interested in PDZ’s large scale logistics business and the interest came in after there was a mention in the market place about the company winning the RM600 million contract in China.
So what is next for PDZ? Will the US-based investor emerge as a substantial shareholder in PDZ or will the Chinese firm take a large stake in PDZ? What we know is that the high trading volume in PDZ is not just among locals but international investors. Who are they? We will try to find out more.

Bagi sesetengah individu, 9 Julai 1985 mungkin adalah satu tarikh yang tidak memberikan apa-apa makna kepada mereka namun bagi Malaysia, ia menandakan tarikh bersejarah apabila mula menjadi antara negara yang mempunyai kemampuan untuk mengeluarkan kereta buatan sendiri.
Ia adalah hari di mana Proton Saga mula dikeluarkan, kira-kira dua tahun selepas penubuhan Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional (PROTON).
Sejarah antara jenama Proton dan Proton Saga tidak dapat dipisahkan. Bermula hanya dari sehelai kertas kosong, Proton adalah cetusan idea daripada perdana menteri keempat Malaysia iaitu Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad pada tahun 1979 untuk menjadi pembuat kereta nasional bagi membantu meningkatkan perindustrian negara.
Kelulusan kabinet berjaya diperolehi pada tahun 1982 dan pada 7 Mei 1983, syarikat automotif pertama Malaysia ditubuhkan.
Pengeluaran Proton Saga pertama dibina di atas landasan Mitsubishi selepas pengeluar kereta Jepun itu bersetuju mewujudkan usaha sama dengan HICOM untuk menghasilkan kereta pertama Malaysia.
Model tersebut mendapat sambutan luar biasa dalam kalangan pembeli kereta di Malaysia dan pada 16 Mac 1989, ia dilancarkan pula di United Kingdom dan laris dijual di mana sasaran jualan di negara itu bagi 12 bulan berjaya dicapai hanya dalam tempoh enam bulan.
Selama bertahun-tahun, PROTON menjadi semakin maju, mencapai kejayaan dalam sukan permotoran di peringkat antarabangsa dan telah melancarkan pelbagai model lain, tetapi Saga kekal berada dalam rangkaian model syarikat.
Sebuah kereta yang teguh, berpatutan dan mempunyai keseimbangan pemanduan dan
pengendalian mantap yang membuktikan kemahiran barisan jurutera Syarikat, model tersebut telah ditambah baik secara menyeluruh pada Ogos tahun lalu yang diterima baik oleh pelanggan.
1st Roll out
Hari ini, Saga mengekalkan kedudukannya sebagai model terlaris dalam rangkaian penawaran PROTON. Sejak pelancaran model versi 2019, jumlah tempahan diterima hampir sama dengan keluaran terdahulu, yang dijual pada masa ketika pengguna mempunyai pilihan yang terhad.
Malahan, untuk bulan Mei 2020, Saga merupakan kereta paling laris di Malaysia dan pada bulan Jun, ia berjaya mencapai jumlah jualan bulanan tertinggi dalam tempoh 70 bulan.
Secara kumulatif, lebih dari 1,800,000 unit telah terjual dalam tempoh 35 tahun, yang bermaksud Saga adalah model paling popular dari jenama automotif Proton Saga.
Jadi, apakah rancangan seterusnya? Jangan lupa untuk mengikuti laman rasmi Facebook PROTON pada 9 Julai 2020, jam 10.35 pagi untuk ketahui lebih lanjut.
Agrobank bersedia untuk meluaskan kemudahan bantuan kewangannya kepada peneroka Lembaga Kemajuan Tanah Persekutuan (FELDA) di seluruh negara berikutan perjanjian kolaborasi yang dimeterai dengan FELDA semasa sambutan Hari Peneroka FELDA peringkat kebangsaan di Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) FELDA Trolak semalam.
Di majlis itu, YAB Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin mengumumkan skim bantuan kewangan untuk membantu generasi kedua peneroka FELDA memiliki kediaman pertama mereka.
Beliau berkata, “Saya sedar bahawa salah satu masalah utama di kalangan peneroka FELDA ialah generasi baharu peneroka FELDA menghadapi masalah untuk mendapatkan pembiayaan bagi pemilikan rumah kediaman melalui program Pembiayaan Perumahan Generasi Baharu FELDA (PGBF).
“Saya ingin berkongsi beberapa berita baik hari ini. Agrobank telah bersetuju untuk memperluaskan syarat pembiayaan mereka dan menawarkan kadar keuntungan yang lebih rendah kepada pemohon yang layak.”
Mengulas mengenai kolaborasi bersama FELDA, Khadijah Iskandar, Penanggung Tugas Presiden / Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Agrobank berkata, “Didorong oleh matlamat Agrobank untuk memfokuskan kepada program yang bertujuan untuk menyokong komuniti yang kurang mendapat liputan dan terpinggir,
“Agrobank sangat berbesar hati untuk bekerjasama dengan FELDA dan menawarkan beberapa penyelesaian pembiayaan inovatif kepada komuniti FELDA.”
Dengan kerjasama ini, Agrobank akan menyediakan program pembiayaan rumah di bawah PGBF untuk membantu generasi kedua peneroka FELDA di seluruh negara untuk memiliki rumah pertama mereka tanpa membebankan mereka dengan kos awal dan kadar keuntungan yang tinggi.
“Kami percaya bahawa terdapat keinginan yang semakin meningkat untuk pemilikan rumah di kalangan rakyat Malaysia, namun ketidakupayaan dari segi kewangan tetap menjadi halangan utama bagi kebanyakan mereka yang berhasrat untuk memiliki rumah terutama bagi golongan yang berpendapatan rendah dalam industri pertanian.”
“Sebagai pembiaya utama program ini, Agrobank menawarkan pembiayaan sehingga 110%, dengan kadar pembiayaan pada kadar asas + 1% setahun, secara tidak langsung membuka peluang untuk lebih ramai peneroka FELDA yang berpendapatan kurang RM5,000 sebulan untuk memiliki rumah,” katanya lagi.
Selain menyediakan program pembiayaan perumahan di bawah PGBF, kolaborasi di antara Agrobank dan FELDA juga bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kedudukan ekonomi peneroka FELDA, dengan menawarkan pembiayaan keusahawanan dan perladangan melalui Program Pembiayaan Mikro – Bukan Komoditi dan Program Perladangan – Tanaman Kelapa Sawit dan Getah.
Program-program ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan kemampuan dan mengasah pemikiran keusahawanan di kalangan peneroka FELDA dan pada masa yang sama untuk meningkatkan produktiviti pengeluaran peneroka di sektor agromakanan, kelapa sawit dan getah.
“Sebagai sebuah bank yang memahami industri pertanian, Agrobank komited untuk terus memperkasakan komuniti agro termasuk peneroka FELDA melalui program pembiayaan kami yang unik dan berstruktur. Semoga melalui kerjasama ini, kami dapat membantu peneroka FELDA untuk meneruskan perniagaan yang berasaskan pertanian yang diceburi mereka dan pada masa yang sama dapat meningkatkan status sosio-ekonomi mereka,” kata Khadijah.
Agrobank menyediakan penyelesaian kewangan yang patuh syariah dan difokuskan untuk memberi impak yang positif kepada ekonomi, sosial dan alam sekitar bagi jangka panjang melalui amalan perniagaan yang mampan.
Solusi pembiayaan patuh syariah adalah untuk membantu perniagaan membawa perubahan positif yang juga sejajar dengan matlamat Bank Negara Malaysia bagi memacu amalan Perantaraan Berasaskan Nilai (VBI) menerusi pembiayaan Islam.
