Telco - Mobile - GST dispute sets uncertain tone

There should be no contention over the charging of 6% GST on mobile communications services as it is a standard rated item. Therefore, the dispute between the industry and the Customs Department appears to revolve around the latter’s demand for telcos to maintain the prices of top-up cards and factor in GST through a reduction in reload credit. If telcos have to comply, they may not be able to fully benefit from passing through the GST, as prepaid users may pare down their usage. Supposing this occurs, we may have to cut our FY15-17 EBITDA forecast for Malaysian mobile operators by 0.8-2.8% and target prices by 2.1-3.2%. The most impacted would be DiGi and the least affected would be Axiata Group. We stay Underweight on the sector.

Star Publications - A “Marvel-ous” deal by Cityneon

We are positively surprised by Cityneon's (Star’s subsidiary) announcement to acquire Victory Hill Exhibitions (VHE) for a proposed consideration of S$21m (RM57m) that will be funded by cash and shares. Following the deal, Cityneon will own the rights to provide exhibition services to Marvel characters. We view the deal as earnings accretive as it helps to enhance the group’s strength in the event and exhibition segment and mitigate the print segment's persistent decline. We raise our FY15-17 EPS forecasts by 3-6% to account for stronger contribution from Cityneon. We upgrade Star to an Add, with a higher target price of RM2.70, still based on 11.3x CY16 P/E, a 25% discount to the target market P/E of 15x. We see stronger contribution from non-print segment and higher dividend payout as potential re-rating catalysts.

Pharmaniaga Bhd - Slower pace ahead

Pharmaniaga’s share price has had a good run. In the past 12 months, higher dividend and better earnings, driven by lower non-cash charges and stronger revenue, sent its share price to record highs. Most of the earnings’ upside, however, appears priced in. We downgrade the stock from add to Hold due to less attractive risk-reward.

A Chanel handbag priced at RM16,000 is the most expensive item being declared at the Goods and Services Tax (GST) refund verification counter at the KL International Airport (KLIA) since it began operations. KLIA Customs director Datuk Chik Omar Chik Lim said the handbag was declared on the first day that the Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS) was introduced in conjunction with the implementation of GST on Wednesday. He said so far 13 transactions were recorded at the verification counter under the TRS. (Star)

The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has informed its members that the goods and services tax (GST) will not be imposed on EPF withdrawals. In a press release the EPF also advised its members not to appoint any agents or third parties to help in withdrawals. “Members who meet the requirements are advised to deal directly with the EPF to make withdrawals,” it said. (Star)

The Selangor government is staking a claim for a bigger financial allocation should the goods and services tax (GST) implemented result in additional revenue for the federal government. Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali said the bigger allocation was provided for under the Revenue Growth Grants Act. "The act states that every revenue growth must be channelled to the state government and this right was guaranteed under the Federal Constitution," he said. (Bernama)

The implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) will not affect investors' continued interest in Malaysia as it is considered a positive step towards a more transparent and structured taxation system for them. Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) chief executive officer, Datuk Azman Mahmud, said MIDA and other related authorities would continue to help the businesses adjust themselves to the new tax.

"There might be issues during the transitional period. I want the industries to come forward and raise them and we will solve them. Investors should be having a situation where there is no disruption in their operations and we hope they will continue to invest," he said. (Bernama)

The government is mulling over a proposal to open complaint counters with regard to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in public areas to facilitate consumers to file complaints.

The Government is determined to ensure that development is inclusive and fair, especially to those in the lower income bracket, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. In planning the country’s development agenda, he said the Government had never sidelined any group, providing business opportunities for all. “Our policy is to ensure that development is inclusive and those who need help are given assistance accordingly, irrespective of their ethnic background,” he said.

The setting up of the RM200m Al-Ansar Bumiputra Fund by Lembaga Tabung Haji was in line with the Government’s aim to empower and strengthen the economy of Muslim bumiputra entrepreneurs, he added.

At Jalan Alor – famous for its street food – Najib said the Government had allocated RM30mil for Chinese hawkers and petty traders who needed financial assistance for their businesses. (Star)

Political News

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad made his harshest criticism against Datuk Seri Najib Razak, saying that Malaysians do not trust the prime minister and predicting that the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) will lose the next polls if the Umno president remains in power.

Malaysia's longest serving prime minister had already withdrawn his support for Najib last year over policy differences and had said the prime minister should resign.

"Malaysians, whether Malays, Chinese, India or the people in Sabah and Sarawak no longer trust Datuk Seri Najib. Umno members and their leaders must realise that Umno and with it, BN will lose if Datuk Seri Najib leads Umno to GE14.

"When Umno loses, the Malays will curse the leadership which has made the party so weak until it is rejected by the Malays themselves. Once Umno loses, it cannot be rehabilitated anymore," Dr Mahathir wrote in his popular blog chedet.cc. (Malaysian Insider)

It is high time Datuk Seri Najib Razak answers the various allegations against him, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said, after Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad delivered his harshest criticism yet against the prime minister. The Umno veteran, better known as Ku Li and is Malaysia's longest-serving lawmaker, said that Najib would find it difficult to get support if there were unresolved issues plaguing his leadership. "It is high time that real answers are given, that the truth comes out of these things," he said to reporters. "It is going to be very difficult for anyone to get support if there are still unresolved issues." (Malaysian Insider)

PKR No. 2 Azmin Ali has been tipped as the next opposition leader following the Pas-DAP row and dearth of leaders with political clout in his party. Sources from Azmin's circle believes that he has a better chance of leading the coalition. They claim PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who is Anwar's wife, is unprepared to lead against a backdrop of strained inter-party relations. (NST)

Former Kelantan menteri besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat had left a message before his death for Pas leaders to refrain from criticising Umno in the interest of hudud, Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said. He said there was a need for Pas to be united as hudud was a party's struggle and not for any individual's interest. (NST)

Please refer to our note for comments.

Telecommunication companies are allowed to impose the 6% Goods and Services Tax on the prepaid top-up in lieu of additional talk time. “A meeting was held with the chief executives of all the telco companies this morning and a decision was made," Customs GST director Datuk Subromaniam Tholasy said. “The telcos have two choices, either maintain the prepaid reload card prices with the 6% GST absorbed, or to charge the 6% on top of the reload card price but give consumers additional airtime. They have agreed to the latter," he said. (Star)

The additional airtime given is only applicable for the next three months and should not have any significant impact on the financials for the Malaysian mobile operators.

Telecommunciations companies have agreed to reduce their broadband rates and the details of the reduction will be announced this month. Minister of Communications and Multimedia, Datuk Seri Shabery Cheek said on Thursday the drop in broadband prices would be more than 6%. (Star)

Putrajaya today warned telcos of legal action if they continued to charge extra for postpaid and prepaid telecommunications services, as the 6% goods and services tax (GST) was replacing the previous service tax of 10%.

Deputy finance minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan said the broad-based consumption tax replaces the old service tax, which was also charged at 6% on prepaid services.

For prepaid services, the prices for top-ups, for example, remain unchanged. "It should remain the same. If the top up is RM5, it should remain RM5. "If they are stubborn, we will bring them to court. It will be the first case of profiteering. I am sure you will agree to this," he told Datuk Sapawi Ahmad Wasali (BN - Sipitang). (Malaysian Insider)

The Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia (PPIM) has urged Malaysian banks to absorb the 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST) imposed on the Malaysian Electronic Payment System (MEPS) service. PPIM chief activist Datuk Nadzim Johan said customers using the MEPS for withdrawals at ATMs would be levied a RM1 charge and the GST of six cents.

"Banks should not be imposing the GST for the MEPS service. They should provide an exemption and absorb the six per cent as customers are already being charged RM1 for each withdrawal at the ATM," he added.

Speaking to Bernama, he also cited as an example, Singaporean banks which did not impose the GST for the MEPS in an effort to support the government. (Bernama)

Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) has spent RM14m on repair works on the apron of klia2 in Sepang since May last year, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. “It has been clarified that the cracks have only occurred in the areas where the apron is located and not on the runway of klia2 that was a result of differential settlement,” he said. Liow also said the affected area covers some 23,900 sq m out of the apron area measuring 700,000 sq m. That works out to about 3% of the apron at klia2. (Financial Daily)

The sovereign wealth fund is MAS’ sole shareholder. “Things have been set in motion and things have gone so far now that it (the plan) is irreversible. There is no turning back, and the cuts will involve senior and non-union staffers throughout the system,” one source said. “The job cuts will start at the top,” the source said. (Financial Daily)

Malaysia's government will begin meeting investors on Monday to discuss a potential US$-denominated sovereign sukuk, as it looks to repay some of the debt raised by struggling 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB). The fund's debt of over US$11bn (RM40bn) is weighing on Malaysia's sovereign credit rating and has also been a factor contributing to ringgit weakness in recent months. The government has appointed CIMB, HSBC and Standard Chartered to arrange meetings in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, Singapore on Tuesday, Hong Kong on Wednesday, Abu Dhabi and Dubai on Thursday, London next Friday, and New York on 13 April, a document from lead arrangers showed.

Sources with knowledge of the deal previously said that the size of the issue would be up to US$2bn with a maturity of more than five years. The Malaysian government would use the proceeds for syariah-compliant purposes including the redemption of 1MDB's US$1.25bn sukuk that matures in June. (Reuters)

MRT Corp has proposed a new alignment option for the MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line (SSP Line) but stressed that it could only be finalised pending a public display exercise and government approval. Strategic communication and PR director Amir Mahmood Razak said the new proposed alignment involved a change in the section between the TRX and Seri Kembangan stations. Amir said the new option integrates with the future KL-Singapore HSR. MRT Corp’s three-month Railway Scheme Public Display is expected to start in mid-May at 24 locations across the city. (StarBiz)

Boustead Heavy Industries Corp will continue its focus on building ships for the Malaysian military, says chairman Tan Sri Lodin Wok Kamaruddin. He said serving the local army has been the company's top priority and it currently contributes 80% to group revenue while the balance comes from constructing commercial vessels. "I think for the next four to five years it would probably remain as 70:30 or the best is maybe 60:40, but undoubtedly we will still depend on the contract of the armed forces, particularly from the Royal Malaysian Navy," he said.

RAM Rating Services Bhd has reaffirmed the AAA/stable rating on Prasarana Malaysia Bhd's RM5.5bn bonds (2003/2016), although it expects the public transport operator to post bigger losses this year. RAM said the rating reflects Prasarana's strategic importance as the owner and operator of key public transport infrastructure (rail and bus) in the Klang Valley.

"As the owner and operator of the country's key public transport infrastructure, we are of the view that the group is an entity that is ultimately backed by the government of Malaysia. The government's support is further underlined by its guarantee in respect of all of Prasarana's debt, including the rated bond," it said. RAM expects Prasarana's losses to widen, further attributing to higher finance costs. (Financial Daily)

Protasco Bhd’s unit has bagged a RM77m contract to maintain the federal roads in Sarawak. It said on Thursday its unit HCM Engineering Sdn Bhd was awarded the contract by the Public Works Department.
