KUCHING: Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) will find Sarawakians a worthy

group of investors, especially in the coming years given the states expected

development rate.

Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said given the rich natural resources

and the states policy on how to manage its wealth by deriving more through the

Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE), it was confident that all this

would be able to raise the income of Sarawakians.

With peoples income on the rise, they can afford to invest more into the funds

managed by Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB), a wholly owned

subsidiary of PNB.

What good would it be to have a high income if they do not have the know-how

on managing their money the smart way for their future and that of their family,

he said at the opening of the new ASNB office at the Al-Idrus Commercial Centre

in Jalan Kulas here yesterday. His text-of-speech was read by Housing Minister

Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg.

Earlier on, Taib said three decades ago PNB and ASNB was established to

provide an avenue and opportunity for Malaysians to invest their money directly

in a unit trust, and indirectly in big corporations.

He recalled how PNB staff were facing challenging times trying to educate and

promote Amanah Saham Nasional (ASN) scheme to the people by travelling into

the interior by boats and on land.

Words like dividend, bonuses, investment capital were foreign to people back

then but they managed to convince the people with the help of the Information

Department that ASN was the smart way to save for better returns in the long

run, he said.

He said the end result was that the people, be they in the urban or rural Sarawak,

became more receptive of PNBs unit trustfunds and the countrys profit was

able to be enjoyed by the people.

Taib said Sarawakians were not limited to only one brand of unit trust but were

free to choose from local unit trusts as well as other products launched by

corporations and other fund managements.

Nonetheless, he believed the people were more attracted to investing in ASNB

trust funds because they could begin with as low at RM10 or 10 units and that it

was more stable and risk-averse.

Furthermore, he said PNB and ASNB had built a strong reputation for being

competitive and had a good track record on its dividend pay-out.

ASNB now has 28 branch offices all over the country, including in Miri, Bintulu,

Sri Aman, Sibu and here.

ASNBmanaging director Datuk Idris Kechot said Sabah comes in fourth placing for the most number

of unit holders for all of ASNBproducts.

billion units from the total 144 billion units that we are managing at present," he said in his speech at

the opening of an investment seminar at the Minggu Amanah Saham Malaysia (MSAM) in Kota

Kinabalu Kompleks Sukan, yesterday.

He said it was all thanks to MSAM that the units in ASNBhad grown tremendously throughout the

years.

"Since MSAM's inception in 1999, ASNBunits only stood at 36 billion units but now it has grown to

144 billion units with more than 10.8 million unit holders.

"This means that since MSAM's inception 12 years ago, ASNBhad grown by more than 100 billion

units."

He said ASNBcontinued to give out good dividends to all its unit holders through the nine investment

products it has.

"Last year, we had given out RM10 billion in income distribution (dividends) for all our nine products
