2011 Market Outlook “RUN RABBIT RUN” Hey days are returning We expect 2011 to be a more vibrant year for the equity market, with domestic factors paying a more prominent role in the surge of the FBM KLCI. In the past, Malaysia used to garner a big premium over regional markets due to vibrant economic growth, political stability and a strong financial system. Expect the return of the premium valuation and stronger FBM KLCI based on 1) structural reforms undertaken by current administration; 2) projects underlined under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) that will boost private sector participation and earnings; 3) influx of foreign capital and 4) past rallies during an election year. As the global financial system is flush with liquidity, expect the current transformation programmes to attract foreign funds flows that will add to the positive outlook of the ringgit and the equity market. The still weak retail participation is expected to improve next year, in line with foreign participation. Vibrant FBM KLCI in 2011 The still strong earnings growth momentum, inflow of foreign funds and domestic political climate could provide the affinity to drive the FBM KLCI to a new all time high in 2011. We derived a 2011 year‐end target of 1,820 based on a 16.7x mid‐cycle 2011 and 2012 EPS of 108.84 sen. It is at 9% premium to our bottom‐up valuation of 1,666. The strength in liquidity flow is expected match the disparity between both valuation methods considering that the Malaysian market is only trading at a 6.8% premium to regional average of 13.4x. The Downside Risks Key downside risks to our bullish view are, 1) sooner than expected interest rate hike in the US; 2) a hard landing in China’s economy; 3) the ruling Malaysian government failing to secure a strong mandate in the snap general election; 4) slow progress in implementation of projects under ETP and 5) rising tensions in geo‐political hot spots, especially between North and South Korea, and the Middle East that could sour the relationship between their allies. Investment Strategy and Preferred Stock Picks The way to play the game forward is to increase exposure in big cap stocks, especially the GLCs that will benefit from the Government Transformation Programme. As such, GLCs dominate our top picks. Our top buys are JADI, KNM, MAHSING, MAYBANK, BSTEAD, CIMB, AXIATA, QL, GENTING, IJM CORPORATION, SIME and WCT.

It’s a Marathon Run The index began 2010 on a positive note, but was dragged lower by concerns over China’s credit tightening measures and worries about escalation of the European debt crisis towards the end of 1Q10. In the following months much of the concerns about Europe dissipated after the Greece bailout and China’s move to let its currency appreciate against the dollar in June. The ensuing rally supported by a favourable outlook for the Ringgit and a good set of 2Q10 results continued into October when the government unveiled its Economic Transformation Programme (ETP). The ETP formed the basis for the New Economic Model that is designed to lift the country into a developed nation. Our top picks for 2010, which we highlighted in our 2010 Annual Strategy, outperformed the FBM KLCI with an average return of 26.3% (until 6th December) as opposed to an 18.7% expansion in the latter. The top performer among the 10 preferred picks in terms of capital gain (based on year’s high) is Unisem followed by Supermax and RHB Capital for the second and third position respectively. Although, the huge gain in the top two stocks did not last due to strengthening of the ringgit, investors that took our advice could have exited with hefty gains as our target prices were met. That aside, the FBM KLCI’s performance was among the best in the region with a YTD gain of 18%.

2011 Annual Strategy

2011: The Bull Charges The FBM KLCI’s strong performance year‐to‐date will continue in 2011. The structural changes that the current administration is trying to enforce, and the investment drive by the private sector through various point of entry projects mainly led by the GLC’s have the potential to rerate the FBM KLCI further to end 2011 with a loud bang. We envisage the following themes to feature prominently next year that in a way will be the drivers for the rally. Thus, our top picks evolve around these themes and are picked as potential beneficiaries. The major themes are, 1. Rollout of ETP Projects. On sectors specifically, Construction and Banking will be the biggest beneficiaries. There are ample projects in the pipeline that will benefit both small and larger construction players. The total allocation for the launch of six new highways; multibillion ringgit projects ranging from the MRT, Sungai Buloh Development to Warisan Merdeka; various road projects and public amenities in the states; and allocation for various growth corridors in Malaysia highlighted in Budget 2011 alone is expected to exceed RM110bn. While construction players will see the return of vibrant times with the launch of many of these projects that will have a huge multiplier effect on the broader economy, banks will benefit directly from the funding needs through lending, or fund raising in the capital market. With the PM stressing the rollout the multibillion ringgit MRT project by July next year, one can sense the urgency to get the ball rolling and the economic significance felt before the announcement of the 13th General Election. The long delayed LRT extension project also will add to the project galore when TRC Synergy (Not Rated) and Bina Puri (Not Rated) start works. 2. Election Play. Sarawak election (SE) is due next year and the possibilities are bright for a general election (GE) as well, although it is not due until 2013. The vibe on the ground is positive now with the economic recovery and the ruling coalition winning two by‐elections recently. The current disarray among opposition parties is a golden opportunity that the ruling coalition may not want to miss. The PM’s clarion call for the MRT project to kick‐off by July next year and the UMNO election scheduled next year to be postponed for 18 months to strengthen the party, are good enough indications for an early GE. In 2004, the index rose 22% in 6 months prior to the general election when Barisan Nasional (BN) won a strong mandate. It is in the interest of powers at play to ensure a vibrant equity market before a GE not only to create a feel‐good factor but also raise money for election expenses. A strong mandate for the ruling coalition with the return of two‐third majority may provide more upside for the index and it ensures continuity in government policies and development programmes. 3. Foreign Fund Flow. The global financial system is flush with liquidity following the second round of quantitative easing (QE2) in the US and various liquidity injections in European countries. Amidst softer growth prospects in the US and Europe, funds are looking for investment opportunities in higher yielding assets in emerging markets, including Malaysia. Foreign portfolio funds are attracted by Malaysia’s resilient economy, strong financial system and the impending programmes to spur domestic demand, which are expected to cushion the impact of any external slowdown on exports. 4. Stronger Ringgit. With our expectations of Bank Negara raising its Overnight Policy Rate by another 75 basis points in 2011 while the US maintains its current low rates on the back of continued Fed purchase of US treasuries, the Ringgit is poised to strengthen further in 2011. Our house view is that it will rise to RM2.80 per USD by end‐2011. The ringgit factor will sustain buying interest in the biggest beneficiaries like Tenaga (Buy, TP:RM10.60), MAS (Buy, TP:RM2.80) and Air Asia (Buy, TP:RM3.10) but the share prices of losers in the glove sectors like Supermax (Buy, TP:RM6.40) and Top Glove (Hold, TP:RM6.30) are expected to make a comeback after heavy selling as latex price dips and restocking begins. Anticipation of the central bank’s intervention to curb any further strength in the ringgit could be another reason for that. Historically, there has been a strong positive relationship between the ringgit strength and appreciation in the FBM KLCI index. 5. GLC Disposal & Rising Free Float. Reducing stake in government‐linked companies is one of the initiatives highlighted in the ETP. Reduction in government stake will raise the free float ratio and is positive in attracting foreign funds. This is positive for the index. 6. New Listing of Government Owned Companies. Listing of government owned companies like MMHE and Petronas Chemicals have the same impact in attracting fund flows. It may have the tendency to circulate within the market upon realization of profit in some stocks that is positive in increasing the velocity. The possible listing of Petronas Carigali, Malakoff, Jimah, Percetakan Nasional Malaysia Berhad, 1Malaysia Development Berhad, Syarikat Prasarna Negara and CTRM Aero Composites next year would add breath to the market. 2011 Market Outlook

7. Rise of Commodity Plays. Prices of plantation shares are still far away from their peak levels and expect price recovery to be stronger next year on the back of increasingly bullish supply and demand outlook, biodiesel theme coming into play, and the looming risk of fight for acreage between oilseeds will lift the profile of CPO as a substitute play. Having the second highest weightage on the FBM KLCI, a rise in plantation counters will certainly push up the index as well. We have already raised our CPO price assumptions for CY11/13 by between 18% and 23%. Still, the average CPO price forecast of RM2,700/tonne in CY11 is considered conservative vis‐à‐vis current market price of RM3,600/tonne. 8. Mergers & Acquisition. The business climate has improved and cash‐rich companies have a huge war chest to acquire companies at fire sale prices. We believe undervalued companies that have strong free cashflows, low gearing and strong earnings visibility could become the acquisition target. The M&A story have the capacity to push up valuations and increase velocity.
Majors Risks that Could Derail the Party On the global front, economic numbers are akin to a knife that can cut both ways. Geopolitical tension is another dampener. 1. Unwinding of Dollar Carry Trades. A stronger than expected economic growth in the US can kick‐start the unwinding of dollar carry trades if the Federal Reserve intervenes to tighten the monetary policy that could cause the bubble to burst in emerging markets. 2. Weaker Than Expected Global Economic Growth. A terribly anemic growth in the global economy due to contagion effect from the European credit crisis and a slow pick up in the US economy would not insulate Malaysia from concerns over dwindling exports and weaker than expected economic expansion. This effect would trickle down to corporate earnings and affect valuations. As a result the risk appetite for equities would suffer. 3. Hard landing in China. The Chinese government has been taking various measures to cool down an asset bubble build up and an overheating in the economy ever since the injection of its multibillion stimulus brought overwhelming results. The worry is that an oversight with too much tightening can lead to a hard landing that could destabilize the current fragile global economic growth. 4. Escalation in geopolitical tension. The show of power between North and South Korea (or any other geo‐political hotspots) could turn ugly and become worse if that sours the relationship between their allies, which are China and the US respectively. On the domestic front, the key risks lie in government execution and political upheaval. 5. Delays in structural changes and project implementation. This could deal a terrible blow if market confidence is rattled by indecisiveness, backpedalling, inefficiency and government bureaucracy. For instance, according to the Land & Public Transport Commission (LPTC) the feasibility study for the MRT project will be completed within three month, which was by early September. It was postponed to end of September then early October. Later, it was postponed again to coincide with the 2011 Budget but until now we are still in the dark on the status. The status about the second study, which is the value management study, to determine whether this project is sustainable is not made known as well. 6. Election Uncertainty. Failure of the ruling government to regain its two‐third majority in parliament that was lost in the 12th general election and to wrest back some lost states will not be taken lightly. Worst still if the unexpected happens and the opposition force with no experience in managing a nimble multiracial economy comes into power. This is a major risk as it may affect the continuity of various measures undertaken so far to push forward structural and economic reforms.

Valuation The FBM KLCI has seen a steady rise since July this year and managed to climb above 1,500 points on 29th October, driven by talks about the 13th general election. The positive market sentiment was sustained by active buying of foreign funds that led the index to the year’s high of 1,532 on 10th November. The inflow of foreign money was driven by the outlook for a stronger economy and ringgit vis‐à‐vis the slow growth prospects in the US and Europe. Continued monetary loosening and a second round of quantitative easing painted a weak picture for the US dollar and Euro that led foreign money to look for better yielding assets in emerging markets. Despite rising 18% YTD and trading at a FY11 PER multiple of 14.3x (based on consensus number for comparison purposes), which is a 6.8% premium to regional average of 13.4x, we believe there is further upside potential for the benchmark index. It will be driven by structural reforms that will lead to sustainable GDP growth and other growth drivers mentioned previously. Expectations for a stronger ringgit will play an integral part as it could induce the influx of foreign funds that could push up their current 21.7% ownership in the Malaysian equity market. Point to note, foreign ownership stood at 26.5% during the heydays of 2007.

The FBM KLCI is trading at a forward CY11 PER of 14.5x (TA’s EPS of 103.24 sen), which is at a 13.2% discount to last 11‐year average of 16.7x. Nonetheless, it is at par with regional average of 13.4x as shown above. We derived at a CY11 year‐end target of 1,820 after applying a PER of 16.7x on mid‐cycle (2011/2012) EPS of 108.84sen. This valuation multiple is not excessive considering that it has traded closer to two standard deviations above its mean of 23.4x just recently. At 1,820, it represents a 9% premium to bottom‐up valuation of 1,666 points. The disparity is due to the fact that the mid‐cycle PER at end‐2011 looks ahead by 6 months into 2012 while the bottom‐up valuation represents a 12‐month target. Besides, there could be a rerating in valuation multiples as the months pass by due to inflow of foreign funds and earnings expansion from the various private sector driven projects. We have assumed an EPS growth of 19.6% (to 103.24 sen) and 10.8% (to 114.44 sen) in CY11 and CY12 respectively for the FBM KLCI component stocks under our coverage.

Sector Strategy As we are bullish on the market outlook for 2011, we are naturally overweight on the index heavyweights; Banks, Plantations, Telco, Gaming and the Power sector. Banks will benefit from the economic up‐cycle that creates demand for loan growth to fund the expansion, as well as vibrant capital market activities due to fund raising exercises. The anticipated 75 basis point increase is another plus point that will help increase the margin spread. The Plantation sector is expected to enjoy a rerating due to lower carry over stock, weather anomalies that could constrain supply, pickup in demand for food consumption (China and India) and biodiesel, and the eventual strong CPO prices due to above factors and speculative interest in commodities as an asset class. Telcos will benefit mainly from Axiata’s overseas contribution and Telekom’s wider broadband penetration. In the Gaming sector, our top pick Genting Berhad will ride on Genting Singapore’s earnings growth potential and will be regarded as a cheaper proxy to the sector in this region. Although BST is a Sell, it will benefit from the reduction in payout ratio as it reduces cost. Demand growth in‐line with economic expansion will translate positively on the Power sector apart from potential PPA review that will benefit Tenaga. Apart from those, Construction, Property and the Oil & Gas sectors are also rated as overweight as they will benefit from the projects identified under the ETP. We also have most sectors under our coverage as overweight except for Building Materials, which is underweight due to less exciting steel prices. Consumer, Technology and Transportation are Neutral. We don’t expect much upside in the low beta Consumer sector during a strong market rally while Technology is unlikely to outperform when the ringgit is expected to strengthen. Transportation is neutral as we see little upside potential from current levels for MISC and MAHB.

Government Initiatives Value Creation Themes: ROLLOUT OF ETP PROJECTS GLC DISPOSAL & RISING FREE FLOAT NEW LISTING OF GOVERNMENT OWNED COMPANIES The launch of the: 1) Government Transformation Programme (GTP) in January 2010, 2) New Economic Model (NEM) in March 2010 and, 3) 10th Malaysia Plan in June 2010, under Prime Minister Najib marks significant government transformation plans to attain long‐term sustainable growth. We are positive that these programmes will place Malaysia in a position to achieve several near‐to‐medium term milestones which, if met, will strengthen the role of the present Government and ensure victory in the upcoming General Election. As part of the federal government's Economic Transformation Programme (ETP), there will be a total of 131 initial entry point projects (EPP) and 60 business opportunities through a series of 12 New Key Economic Areas (NKEAs). These initiatives worth USD444bn (or RM1.39bn), will be implemented over the next 10 years, of which 92% (or USD410bn) are to be financed by the private sector and GLC’s while only 8% (or USD34bn) will be publicly funded. We think part of the government’s funding for the ETP may be generated from the disposal of their stake and divestment of non‐core assets in Government‐Linked‐Companies (GLC’s). Having said that, the Government may also raise funds through the issuance of Government notes. To ensure that investors are interested in purchasing the Government notes, Malaysia will need a vibrant capital market. As such, the new listing of more GLC’s and private companies in the equity market may help to attract more sovereign investors. In this section, we shall discuss several government programmes which we think are important and that investors should keep a watchful eye in 2011. These programmes would help ensure that stakeholders are committed and that the Government will continue to adhere to their promises. These enabling pillars are: i. Economy Transformation Program (ETP) which is part of the NEM ii. Plans to reduce the Government's stake in Government‐Linked‐Companies (GLC’s) and to divest off non‐core assets and; iii. Potential new listings/initial public offerings (IPO) on Bursa Malaysia
i)
Economy Transformation Program (ETP)
Prime Minister Najib is indeed working around the clock in transforming Malaysia into a high income nation. By creating a concoction of roadmaps like the ETP and NEM, Najib hopes that Malaysia would inch forward towards realising Mahathir’s Vision 2020. Specific to year 2011, we believe that the four most significant industries which would directly benefit from the Entry Point Projects (EPP’s) are the Construction Sector (Overweight), Property Sector (Overweight), Oil & Gas Sector (Overweight) and Telecommunication Sector (Overweight). Some of the indirect beneficiaries include the Banking (Overweight), Transportation (Neutral), and Tourism (Not rated) sectors.
Construction Sector Plans to build the RM36.0bn Klang Valley MRT are no longer strange to the general Malaysian public due to all the hype surrounding the project. The first exposure was given by Gamuda Bhd (Buy, TP:RM4.24) when it announced that it had developed and submitted a plan to the Government. The second major exposure was given during PEMANDU’s public viewing day at the Putra World Trade Center. In our opinion, we believe that the Gamuda‐MMC JV would benefit the most from this venture as they were the ones who initiated the plan. They are also vying for the coveted spot as project managers. In addition, they are eyeing for the tunnelling portion, which is worth about RM13bn. We believe the contract could be awarded sometime in 2Q2011 in order to achieve the targeted milestones. Another venture which we think would materialize sometime in 2011 would be the river cleanup project. This initiative is not something new as it was first mentioned back in 2007 when YTL Corp Bhd first won the project – only to be shelved later until it is mentioned again now. Early indications are that the river cleanup would incur up to RM1bn for treatment with an additional RM1bn for development. Further development subsequent to these cleanups would then translate to a potential Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM50bn. However, newer estimates have shown much higher costs associated with this initiative. Included in this initiative are four main ventures which need to be done. The first is of course the upgrading of sewerage system to decrease pollutants from entering the river. 2011 Market Outlook

We believe that YTL Corp and pipe laying companies like JAKS Resources Bhd would benefit from this initiative. This could cost over RM3bn to materialize. The second and third course of action is to relocate squatters and upgrade drainage systems respectively. To achieve this, we believe that the demand for public housing would increase substantially, benefitting companies which utilize Industrial Building Systems method like Kimlun Corp Bhd. The upgrading of drainage systems would cost a further RM500mn. The fourth step is to then enforce water waste guidelines for residential and commercial establishments. The third EPP under the Greater KL New Key Economic Area initiative is to build iconic places/landmarks that would redefine Malaysia’s skyline. Permodalan National Berhad (PNB) has indicated that they will be going forward with the 100‐ storey Warisan Merdeka Tower in 2011. Putting economic feasibility aside, we believe this project would have a substantial impact on the construction sector due to its massive scale. Although we realise that the main contractor would possibly be either Japanese or Korean (like the Petronas Twin Towers), we strongly believe that local contractors would definitely stand a chance in getting some subcon action in the RM5bn project. Here, we envisage smaller cap construction plays like Ahmad Zaki Resources Bhd, Gadang Holdings Bhd, Binapuri Holdings Bhd, and TRC Synergy to benefit from these subcon works. Not forgetting the bigger boys like Gamuda (Buy, TP:RM4.24), IJM (Buy, TP:RM7.36), WCT (Buy, TP:RM3.45) and Sunway which could benefit from bigger ticket packages like ground works, foundation formation and pilings. The fourth EPP which we think would take off next year would be the development of an efficient and sustainable solid waste management. One key beneficiary which we think could benefit on a large scale would be the newly listed Cypark Resources Bhd. Prime Minister Najib has ordered an existing 112 unsanitary landfills to be closed and rehabilitated, and some to be upgraded to sanitary landfills. Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung also mentioned that nine new sanitary landfills would be fully operational by 2012 to process some 17,000 tonnes of garbage a day in the country. These both create huge sustainable opportunities for Cypark.
Property Sector The property sector is expected to capitalize on the concept of transforming the Greater KL into a livable city that sprawls across KL, Putrajaya, Ampang Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Kajang, Klang and Sepang. To do this, Prasarana has been given the green light to improve waterfronts and the transportation system (refer to construction sector). By 2020, seven out of 10 Malaysians are expected to live in urban areas like Greater KL and this is envisaged to spur demand for residential properties. To cope with the anticipated rise in demand, two areas have been identified for re‐development, i.e.: Sungai Buloh Rubber Research Land and the Sungai Besi Air Base. EPF has been asked to develop the Sungai Buloh Rubber Research Institute land and we believe EPF’s 41.6%‐owned MRCB will be appointed as the project manager and coordinator. IJM Land is expected to have a fair share of development after the proposed merger between MRCB and IJM Land. Separately, the development of the Sungai Besi Air Base land into a multi‐billion ringgit commercial project will be carried out by the JV between 1Malaysia Development Berhad and Qatar Investment Authority. We expect the JV to tap into foreign expertise, Mubadala Development Co’s experience in master planning the township development, and to award the construction works to local construction players. We do not expect the mass development in Sungai Buloh and Sungai Besi to pose a threat to Malaysian developers although the flurry of new supplies could dent property prices. We expect the master plan for the Sungai Buloh and Sungai Besi developments to be implemented in several phases to meet rising demand. In contrast, we expect the two developments and initiatives announced under the ETP blueprint to boost land value which would ultimately benefit developers with sizable land banks in Greater KL. Specifically, we expect the housing developments along the proposed LRT extension to prosper, i.e.: Sri Petaling, Puchong, Subang Jaya, USJ and Kelana Jaya. As such, existing township developers in these areas are likely to benefit; i.e.: I&P (Bandar Kinrara), Mah Sing (Bandar Kinrara), IOI Properties (Bandar Puteri), Sime Properties (Putra Heights and USJ) and Sunway City (Sunway). Similarly, the development along the MRT lines are expected to pick up and this will boost properties and land values higher. 2011 Market Outlook

Oil & Gas Sector On the oil & gas front, we expect Petronas to increase its domestic exploration significantly in 2011. Recently the government has also attempted to come up with tax incentives to boost production on less profitable (marginal) fields in Malaysia. Assuming crude oil price remains at current levels, these incentives could turn out to be a sweet deal for players in the E&P segment. Three EPP’s highlighted will overcome the projected decline of 1% to 2% in domestic oil and gas production capturing value from mature fields through enhanced oil recovery, using innovative solutions to develop small fields and intensifying exploration activities. In terms of providing solutions, the main beneficiary could potentially be Perisai Petroleum (Buy, TP:RM0.65) through its Mobile Offshore Production and Storage Units (MOPSUs) which are self‐installing and easily re‐ locatable without the need for a derrick barge or a jack‐up drilling rig. We also expect companies like Tanjung Offshore (Sell, TP:RM0.82) and Scomi Engineering to obtain a slice of the pie; Tanjung through the utilisation of its vessels and Scomi through its drilling fluids. In terms of larger exploration activities, we expect the prime beneficiary to be Sapura Crest Petroleum (Hold, TP:RM2.97). The group’s vessels namely the Sapura 3000 and LTS 3000 are capable of heavy lifts cum pipelays. To enhance growth in the downstream market, it is vital to build a regional oil storage hub and developing a regasification terminal by 2015 for imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) to capture the value created from increasing international flows of crude oil and refined products. In this category we expect companies like Dialog, Petronas Gas (Buy, TP:RM13.30) and KNM (Buy, TP:RM2.80) to be a beneficiary. Dialog, potentially being the largest beneficiary, has the capability to design, build, and operate storage tank terminals and supply bases. The group also has the capability to design, build, and operate centralised tankage facilities. 2011 Market Outlook

Najib also aims to make Malaysia the number one Asian hub for oil field services. It has to attract multinational corporations, consolidate domestic fabricators to increase their likelihood of winning major contracts and partner with world‐class companies to establish a presence in the construction and installation portion of the value chain. Local fabricators such as Kencana Petroleum and Boustead Heavy Industries Corp could benefit from a consolidation in order to increase their capacity. Sime Engineering has taken the first step in this direction by purchasing Ramunia Holdings dockyard in Pasir Gudang. Big global players in the global O&G industry look to companies that can provide Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) services under one roof rather than companies that are specialized. Furthermore with the listing of Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MHB) (Sell, TP:RM4.16), we expect competitiveness to increase in the industry as comparisons will be made against other listed entities such as Ramunia and Kencana.
Telecommunication Sector The Telecommunication sector would be another beneficiary under ETP with 10 EPPs to drive the Communication, Content and Infrastructure industry. Note however, we believe the recent award of the 2.6GHz spectrum for nine players may be linked to the government’s plan in “connecting 1Malaysia”. The spectrum has the capacity for 4G network which will lead to an upgrade from 3G to LTE. PEMANDU has laid out its plans to be achieved by 2012, but we believe the telecommunication players have already ramped up their operations to meet the target. High speed internet has led to a convergence between telecommunication and media sectors. The sector is now entirely driven by the growth in data usage coupled with the increasing popularity of smart devices, such as the iPhone, BlackBerry and Tablets. These devices have created the need for “data‐on‐the‐go” which has led to an increase in demand for higher quality internet services. Thus, the high data usage forces the need for an upgrade to LTE since it provides greater spectral efficiency and lower operating expenses. Recently, YTL launched its WiMax services branded YES! and have seen positive response. YES! has wired up about 65% of the nation and this will gradually increase in the next 1‐2years. As mentioned in our previous report, WiMax would be more viable and economical in rural and remote areas given the relatively low costs to deploy a WiMax network. TM on the other hand has already seen positive take‐up of its HSBB branded UniFi at attractive price, which has subsequently lowered the pricing for Streamyx. To add, in the 4Q10, TM has been aggressively expanding its HotSpot coverage areas. Maxis is also in the midst of rolling out its own HSBB, which we believe will be done in 6 months time.
Figure 9: Projects expected to be completed by 2012 and we believe at least half of these would be seen by 2011

Banking Sector For the financial services segment, the ETP outlined 10 entry point projects (EPP) to: 1) create 275k new financial services jobs from 287k currently, and 2) boost the sector’s GNI by another RM122.3bn from RM58.8bn by 2020. Given the 10 year timeline, we believe the targets are reasonable and within reach. Here, we believe the sector would benefit from the huge need for funding since 92% (or USD410bn) of the entire ETP initiatives are to be financed by the private sector and GLCs while only 8% (or USD34bn) will be publicly funded. Other recommendations outlined to boost the debt market with an active secondary market include: 1) widening the credit spectrum of the fixed‐income market, 2) increase participation of foreign issuers and investors, and 3) increase retail participation – should bode well for the IBs and stockbroking companies. The possible internalization of the RM could also help spur trades and investments in Malaysia. Under EPP 9 and 10, local financial institutions will be encouraged to broaden their regional and global reach for both conventional banking and Islamic finance. This is to help cushion the local players against dwindling domestic growth and profitability as the market becomes more saturated. In reality, most of the local listed financial institutions in Malaysia have already established solid footing overseas. Some choose to grow organically (such as Public Bank (Hold, TP:RM13.70) in Cambodia and Hong Kong), while others acquired banking groups in Indonesia, Thailand, China and Pakistan (namely CIMB (Buy, TP:RM10.80), Maybank (Buy, TP:RM11.30), Hong Leong Bank (Hold, TP:RM10.90), RHB Cap (Buy, TP:RM9.50) and Affin). We maintain our views, assumptions and earnings estimates for the Malaysian banking system, at this juncture. As such, we continue to call OVERWEIGHT on the sector.
ii)
Reducing the Government Stake in GLC’s and Divestiture of NonCore Assets
In the past, the rise in financial liberalisation and the increase in instability in the global financial system, especially post 1997‐1998 Asian Financial Crisis has given rise to a greater need for the Government to better manage the economy and the financial system. The increase in ownership and control of the Government in several large and strategic corporations during that period was to execute Government policies and initiatives to achieve national economic development goals. Indeed, the Government, through GLC’s, has directly championed growth of some sectors. The Government’s control on GLC’s is achieved through several Government Investment Linked Companies (GLIC’s), which have invested their funds in GLC’s. These GLIC’s include Khazanah Nasional Berhad, Kumpulan Wang Amanah Pesara (KWAP), Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), Employees Provident Fund (EPF), Lembaga Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) and Lembaga Tabung Haji (LTH).

GLICs’ holdings in the listed GLC’s are substantial at approximately 43% of the total market capitalisation of the FBM KLCI 30 stocks (refer Figure 4). As such it is arguable that the local stock market has probably not been able to adequately garner foreign investor interest due to the illiquidity of their shares, the bulk of which is held by GLIC’s. On that note, the government is looking to pare down its stake in GLC’s to improve the liquidity of the stock market. This, in our view, will create greater market liberalisation, increase free float and improve liquidity of the respective Government linked shares. We believe Khazanah, EPF and PNB could be set to make further divestment of their stakes in large‐cap blue chips. From Figure 4, assuming the GLICs pare down their stake by 1% / 5% / 10%, the capital proceeds raised will be RM8,887mn /RM43,327mn/ RM69,569mn , representing up to 2% / 9% /15% of total market capitalization of FBM KLCI. 2011 Market Outlook

The proceeds may help to fund part of Government projects proposed under the ETP. We believe GLIC’s will pare down their shares in MAS (Buy, TP:RM2.80), Axiata (Buy, TP:RM5.90), RHB Cap (Buy, TP:RM9.50), Sime Darby (Buy, TP:RM10.25), Maybank (Buy, TP:RM11.30) and CIMB (Buy, TP:RM10.80) due to their high shareholding level (>40%). Nonetheless, we doubt that the exercise will be completed in the short run as the Government will pare down its stake at a gradual pace, depending on market movements.

On the other hand, all GLC’s are also required to divest their non‐core assets and consultation services. We should actually see this coming to fruition in the coming years as we see more news flow on M&A proposals taking place since the beginning of this year. GLC’s such as Sime Darby (Buy, TP:RM10.25) could create some excitement from the divestment of non‐core assets. We believe Sime Darby (Buy, TP:RM10.25) is among the key GLC’s that need to dispose of non‐core assets and focus on building up their core businesses. We understand that the company regards all its plantation, property, oil & gas, heavy equipment and motor distributorship units as core businesses. Their non‐core businesses include healthcare, insurance, hypermarket, tyres, hotels and home products. We do not rule out the possibility for Sime Darby to divest its non‐core and non‐profitable businesses in order to fund and concentrate on its core strength. Sime Darby has signalled its intention to sell its non‐core businesses (except healthcare). We understand that this non‐core business merely contributes up to 2% of total net profit for FY09. We have done a simple back‐of‐the‐envelope calculation and derive that the market value for the non‐ core businesses is worth around RM900mn (exclude tyres and healthcare), based on FY09 results.

Potential new listings/initial public offerings (IPO) on Bursa Malaysia
In 2010, we witnessed the listing of two Government Linked Companies (GLC’s) in the form of Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Bhd (MHB) and Petronas Chemical Group Bhd (PCG). With the KLCI hitting a new high this year and the upbeat momentum expected to remain intact, we expect this strong upward trend to continue into 2011. By the looks of it, the government seems to be favouring oil & gas (O&G) plays possibly to leverage on the country’s large reserves. However, for 2011 this trend could spill over into other industries to unlock the value of Malaysia’s jewels, enabling them to have access to more capital in the process. In this section we discuss the possible impact of the new GLC listings in their respective sectors. Having said that, we believe the banking sector (overweight) will benefit as an indirect beneficiary from the IPO’s as some banks could see significant amounts of underwriting fees from these deals. We particularly like Maybank (Buy, TP:RM11.30), CIMB (Buy, TP:RM10.80), RHB Cap (Buy, TP:RM9.50) and AMMB (Buy, TP:RM7.40) for their investment banking status, enabling them to capitalise as IPO underwriters. We scoped out some potential candidates likely to be listed namely; i. Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd ii. Malakoff Sdn Bhd iii. Jimah Energy Ventures Sdn Bhd iv. CTRM Aero Composites Sdn Bhd (CTRM) v. Syarikat Percetakan Negara Sdn Bhd vi. Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd Equipped with a competitive advantage, some of these companies notably Petronas Carigali, Malakoff and Jimah are significant players in the oil & gas and power sectors respectively. The general perception is that IPO’s like these are aimed at easing financial constraints for new investments and promoting reform process. The potential success of these IPOs relies largely on pricing and investor perception, especially foreign investors. Regardless of their success, the important point is that the government is reaching out to the capital market rather than keeping its doors shut. These listings could be used by the government as a marketing tool to increase the level of foreign direct investment (FDI). We note here that the majority of these listings have been substantiated mostly on market talk apart from Jimah and CTRM in which the government has expressed its interest in listing. 2011 Market Outlook

A Brief Description of These Candidates i) Petronas Carigali (PCSB) is the exploration and production subsidiary of the Petronas Group. PCSB works alongside a number of petroleum multinational corporations through its production sharing contracts (PSC) to explore, develop and produce oil & gas in Malaysia. PCSB currently contributes to approximately 24% to the Petronas Groups top line earnings. Figure 14: Revenue Contribution to Petronas Shippings LPG 4% 3%

Malakoff Corporation Berhad is the one of largest Independent Power Producer’s (IPP) in Malaysia with total and net effective installed capacity of 7,253 MW and 5,020 MW respectively. The company owns 5 power plants and an associate stake in another (PD Power), which commands approximately 25% market share of the generation capacity in P. Malaysia. The group also owns stakes in some foreign utility assets.

iii) Jimah Energy Sdn Bhd owns and operates a 2 x 700 MW coal fired power plant located near Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. The first unit of 700 MW achieved COD on Jan 1, 2009 followed by the second unit on July 1, 2009. Amongst the major IPP’s, Jimah is the smallest and only owns a single power asset. The major shareholder had stated publicly of their intention to list Jimah by mid‐2011 to diversify capital source, in preparation of the tender for the second 1,000 MW new capacity in 2011/12 (the first 1,000 MW was awarded to TNB Janamanjung S/B).

iv) CTRM Aero Composites (CTRM) was incorporated in November 1990. It is a GLC with the Ministry of Finance Incorporated as its major shareholder. CTRM is a composites parts maker for aircraft manufacturers. The company is also part of a global supply chain for composites aero structures, and supplier to major aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing. v)
Syarikat Percetakan Negara Sdn Bhd (PNMB) has vast experience in the printing industry as it was first known as JPN (Jabatan Percetakan Negara) on its debut opening during the British occupation in Malaya in 1888. The company provides printing services in the areas of general printing, variable data printing, security printing and digital imaging with in‐house design services.
vi) Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad and its group of companies are asset‐owners and operators of several public transport providers, namely the Ampang and Kelana Jaya lines, KL Monorail system, bus operations in Klang Valley and Penang, as well as the cable car services in Langkawi. Both the LRT, Monorail and bus services are operated by Rangkaian Pengangkutan Integrasi Deras Sdn Bhd (RapidKL), a subsidiary of Prasarana. RapidKL provides an integrated public transport system in the Klang Valley incorporating rail and bus services. Motive and Impact We estimate PCSB could potentially be valued at approximately RM200bn based on a forward multiple of 16x. With a market cap of this size, it will make up almost 42% of the FBM KLCI’s current market cap and will definitely stir some interest from investors globally. If PCSB were listed, the stock price will largely be determined by the price of crude oil. Earnings will in turn be more volatile. Inevitably this will be a driver for foreign funds to participate in the trading of the stock. Foreign investors will not just stop at PSCB but could look to invest into the other O&G service providers and other sectors as well. PCSB will emerge as the largest listed company on Bursa Malaysia and can influence greatly the direction of the FBM KLCI. Another motive behind the listing of the subsidiaries with huge capital expenditure requirements would be a way to foot costs. In 2009, Petronas issued US$4.5bil in Islamic bonds, its first issuance in years as it tapped the global markets to fund its expansion activities after the price of crude oil plunged from its highs in 2008. One of the more significant impacts of this particular listing on the O&G sector as a whole is a clearer level of communication between Petronas and local O&G players in the industry. By Petronas Carigali being publicly owned, it will be subject to clarity in its direction and further capex expenditures domestically. This will in turn allow local O&G players to position their business models accordingly. This will strengthen the conviction on the Overweight O&G sector. If rumours turn out to be true, Malakoff is set to be relisted on Bursa Malaysia. That said, we think there is added incentive to re‐list next year due to two key reasons, i) favourable market condition. Our house target is the FBMKLCI to hit 1820 by end 2011. A timely IPO would enable the major shareholder to partially unlock value of its investment in the company, and ii) better investment appeal as another IPP, Tanjong plc was recently delisted. Presently, there are only two power stocks listed on Bursa Malaysia, i.e. Tenaga Nasional and YTL Power. On the downside, the financial performance of Malakoff has not been particularly inspiring. The group reported revenue of RM1.9bn and pretax profit of RM710.0mn in FY06 – the last available Annual Report prior to delisting. In FY09 however, Malakoff made revenue of RM5.2bn (increase due mainly to Tg. Bin) and a pretax profit of RM380mn. That translates into a 46.5% reduction in pretax profit. We suspect the lower profits could be partly due to higher interest cost, i.e. Tg. Bin and possibly refinancing of some of the other power assets, as well as operating issues at Kapar power plant. The major shareholder had stated publicly of their intention to list Jimah by mid‐2011 to diversify capital source, in preparation of the tender for the second 1,000 MW new capacity in 2011/12 (the first 1,000 MW was awarded to TNB Janamanjung S/B). The estimated cost to raise the capacity is RM4bn. Assuming a replacement cost of USD1.2mn/MW, we estimate Jimah could be worth RM3.8bn. The power sector had generally underperformed the KLCI in 2010. The low beta nature of the sector is partly to blame. That said, the lack of investment options in the Malaysian power sector (only Tenaga and YTL Power are listed – Tanjong plc was delisted in Sept 2010) is a major hurdle to investors, in our view. In this perspective, the listing of Jimah and Malakoff would certainly be viewed positively by the market.

As for CTRM Aero Composites (CTRM), with the expected tremendous growth of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) business in Asia Pacific, it has expressed desire to move up the value chain as a major manufacturer (Tier 1) within 15 to 20 years' time. Thus, the government may need private funding to undertake investments in technology, training of workforce as well as mergers and acquisitions. As the government intends to divest its holding in CTRM, the possibility of an IPO remains high. Based on average industry PER of 15x (20% discount to its Singaporean counterpart Singapore Tech Engineering of 18x) and net profit of RM30mn in 2009, the market capitalization will be around RM450mn. The government has identified the aerospace industry, particularly aerospace MRO services, as a new growth industry for Malaysia to exploit. Thus, the listing of CTRM could be the start of a more exhilarating phase for the Aviation industry (Neutral). We believe that as the country’s fleet of aircraft continues to grow, the demand for parts and equipment used for routine maintenance and repairs will follow suit. We are positive with the listing of PNMB as there is only one listed printing company, Pelangi Publishing Group Bhd on Bursa Malaysia. Thus, the listing of PNMB may diversify its customer base and create a monopoly industry by itself – Printing Industry. Besides, there remains a possibility that some of the printing and publishing giants could outsource some of their printing business to PNMB due to higher industry connectivity. Thus, this will generate additional income for PNMB. Assuming a hypothetical situation where Prasarana were to be listed, we believe that they would first need to restructure their loss making assets by either selling it off, listing only potential profitable units or make a 180‐degree turnaround into a profitable company (which is unlikely considering fare increments are unlikely). We do not think that foreign funds would be interested with loss making infrastructure companies with little room for revenue growth, apart from the increase in ridership. Why are Japan’s monorail systems running at a profit whereas Malaysia’s monorail is running at a lost? Hence, the attractiveness for such a stock would be small. Prasarana can be considered, in a broad sense, a public service transport operator whose immediate aim is to not make profit, but rather to serve the community. Thus, in all likelihood, we rebut the potential listing of Prasarana.

Snap Election around the Corner Theme: Election Play
A snap election next year seems increasingly probable although it is not due for another five years after the last general election on 08 March 2008. With a 18‐month delay in UMNO party election it is clear that the PM does not want any party infighting caused by scramble for party posts within UMNO to weaken Barisan Nasional’s prospects in the general elections. The opposition is in total shambles now with rampant finger‐pointing and top leaders jumping ship in Parti Keadilan Rakyat after its recent party election. DAP is at loggerheads again with PAS over Islamic law. It appears that they can never act in concert without PKR playing the mediator role. PM Datuk Seri Najib could have viewed this as a golden opportunity to seize. The obvious strategy to win any election is to trumpet past achievements while ensuring the relevance of those achievements to prevailing conditions. To do that, facts and figures about economic progress have always been used as vital ammunitions in the election pitch. To show the relevance, swift launches of domestic projects have always been the trump card. It will be no different this time. The fact that he has instructed the government machinery to ensure the MRT project is kicked off by July next year emphasizes the point. Economic Recovery Conducive for an Early Election The global economy has rebounded from its worst moments in 2008 and Malaysia too has bounced back strongly after a brief flirtation into negative growth territory in 2009. So far, the first two quarters of 2010 have seen strong economic growth of 10.1% and 8.9% respectively. Although the growth momentum has tapered off to 5.6% in 3Q, it is projected to register a strong growth of 6.7% this year before marking an acceptable growth of 5.4% in 2011. A strong mandate from the people is crucial for the PM to press ahead with his reform measures aimed at fixing the structural issues in the economy, which include subsidy cuts in stages, revamping affirmative measures that hinder progress, finalizing the implementation of GST, liberalization of outdated policy decisions that stunts growth and creativity, etc. So, the timing can be sooner rather than later to deprive the opposition from having ample time to reorganize themselves from the recent two defeats and internal party issues. In our view, the various Entry Point Projects (EPP) under the ETP will take centre stage as we roll into 2011 to achieve this growth target. The launch of highway projects and the smaller parcels for rural infrastructure development also will be expedited to ensure the more than 20,000 class F bumiputra contractors are happy and the multiplier effect spread fast enough to keep the man on the street feeling content. It is no secret that the big blow of losing two third majority in the parliament for the second time in 2008 after losing it in 1969 will haunt the ruling coalition in the coming election. So, positive indications and timing are crucial to sustain big victory and if possible to regain the lost glory. Just basing on past thirteen by‐elections post the 12th GE will not paint a bright prospect for the BN as it won only five of the thirteen contested. However, PM’s policy initiatives are gaining acceptance and the confidence level in him seems to be improving. The BN’s victory in four of the last five contested seats could be a testimony to that with the ruling coalition wrestling back a parliamentary and a state seat from the opposition. News on the ground has it that the Sibu parliamentary seat in Sarawak slipped through their fingers due to growing unhappiness of Chinese voters against the current administration.

Land Slide Victory in Sarawak is Crucial It is imperative for the BN to secure undivided victory in Sarawak state election as the outcome would have implications on the parliamentary election. The state has the highest number of parliamentary seats (31 or 22.1%) of the total 140 seats. BN lost five states in 2008 to oppositions parties before securing back Perak. Take note in the Figure 2 that it only secured more than 60% vote in three states and it risks losing Negeri Sembilan if not careful.

The crucial decision is to whether to have the 13th GE simultaneously with Sarawak’s state election, or later. The Sarawak state election should be held before July next year. Holding it at the same time will dampen opposition’s abilities to mobilize their thin resources across country and divert their attention of making inroads in Sarawak. However, BN may want to test the waters in east Malaysia first before going for the final battle in Peninsular Malaysia. In our view, the Sarawak election could be held first in 1Q11 followed by the GE in 2H11.

KLCI Performance in Election Year The historical trends showed that a rally was more apparent in the first four weeks before any general election than late. Chances of rally was more prominent in the last two weeks as shown in Figure 6The best upside to the run‐up of a general election was seen in 1978 followed by a post‐election rally in 1986. The next big pre‐election rally was in 2004 when BN won in a big way by capturing 90.4% of the parliamentary seats (see Figure 4). In 2004, the push already came three months before the election as the market viewed the handover of the baton to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi from Mahathir as a positive sign. As expected, Badawi delivered the biggest ever win for BN since its inception (see Figure 4) but the FBM KLCI corrected post election as the result was expected. 2008 was unique as contraction was seen throughout the pre and post election, as market took notice of the growing voters’ dissatisfaction against the ruling government in the months prior to the election. The loss of two‐third majority in the parliament added to the loss of five states and caused market to tumble in the following months. The global credit crisis made the situation worse.

However, economic conditions have improved greatly since the contraction in 2009. Plans mooted by the BN leaders so far since the big defeat in 2008 appeared sincere in addressing the root cause of the socio‐economic malaise. Malaysians are beginning to show interest and be part of transformation programmes mooted by Datuk Seri Najib and this was apparent on the launch day of the Economic Transformation Programme where the presentation hall was packed to the brim. Anticipate the market to take a precautionary stance starting from two to three weeks before the election next year, but expect a strong build up in momentum prior to that (assuming a general election in 2H2011) driven by positive news flow related to various entry point projects under the ETP. If BN wins back its two‐third majority and some of the four loss states (excluding Perak), the market would react very positively as it not only ensures continuity in various transformation initiatives that was mooted this year but also gives BN the right to the amend the constitution. Anticipate share prices of most GLC’s and beneficiaries of various programmes under Budget 2011, especially banks, construction, building material and property players to fly if BN strikes a major victory. However, if it wins the election again with a not so encouraging simple majority, this could have a long‐term negative implication on the economy as well as BN component parties due to delays in the decision making process and politicking. Emergence of new power plays and struggle for party leadership could rob away precious time that is needed to be spent on economic matters and implementation of projects in certain states could continue to be a long outstanding issue such as the Pahang‐Selangor interstate water transfer.

Of course, the most unexpected outcome is BN’s defeat to the opposition. Initial market response to this could be negative due to uncertainties related to continuity in government policies and various planned projects as there was no precedence of opposition parties or their alliance ruling the country since independence in 1957. With the three Pakatan Rakyat parties having three different ideologies and their own agenda, market is expected to take a sharp correction and pause until confidence in the new government is restored. That depends very much on who will lead the government, how realistic and visionary are their socio‐economic directions, and how well they can reunite the splinter groups within the government machinery.

Foreign & Forex Boost Themes: FOREIGN FUND FLOW STRONGER RINGGIT Overview The Malaysian economy has remained healthy despite the uncertain global economic environment. Key indicators signal that GDP growth is moderating in line with the stabilization of the economy. On a whole, we expect: (1) continued inflow of funds; (2) modest inflation growth for 2011; (3) expectation for strong Ringgit next year; and (4) full normalization of interest rate by year‐end 2011. Focusing on these main areas, our recommendations are as follows. 1) Ringgit expected to appreciate Our 2011 year‐end target for the Ringgit is RM2.80. Here, we believe that the domestic economy is favourable and constructive for a strong Ringgit underpinned by a combination of: 1) commendable level of international reserves held at BNM (USD105.8bn as at 15th October 2010), 2) healthy trade surplus and continued exports acceleration, 3) labour market to maintain full employment, 4) consumer prices will continue to be in check, and also 5) full normalisation of OPR to 3.50% in 2011. As shown in the following chart, there is a positive correlation between a strengthening in Ringgit and market rally as foreign investors take position to seize the forex gain potential.

Overall earnings unaffected by stronger Ringgit The stronger Ringgit may not have any material impact on overall earnings. Based on our earnings estimates, average CY11 EPS would rise by a marginal 0.1% while CY12 EPS should dip by around 0.1% for every 10 sen the Ringgit appreciates vis‐ à‐vis the USD. Here, glove manufacturers, freight & tankers and semiconductor players would suffer from substantially reduced earnings since a significant proportion of revenues are denominated in USD. Average EPS for the O&G‐based companies are also estimated to decline by some 1.8‐1.9% since manufacturing orders and vessel contracts are based on USD. On a positive note, telco, consumer, auto, plantation and media players such as Amway, TM, Axiata, Maxis, Tenaga, Proton, Boustead, KLK and Sime Darby, Media Prima and Star stand to gain from a Ringgit appreciation due to savings from imported foreign content, fertiliser costs and newsprints, which are all priced in USD while in the Aviation industry, the stronger Ringgit could help pare down costs the purchase price of jet fuel for MAS and AirAsia.

2) Full normalisation of OPR in 2011 Ahead of next year’s MPC meeting, we anticipate a gradual normalisation of rates to pre‐crisis level of 3.50% by the end of 2011. We expect three separate increases in the OPR of 25bps each during the MPC meets in 1Q; 3Q; and 4Q11. The MPC meetings will convene six times a year based on the following schedule shown in the figure below. Figure 26: Schedule of Monetary Policy Committee Meetings for 2011 MPC Meeting No.

Higher OPR positive for overall earnings While an increase in borrowing costs as a result of an upward shift in OPR should not be positive for earnings, we estimate that overall earnings of all the stocks under our coverage should grow by a marginal 0.7%. We believe this is largely due to positive earnings impact for heavyweights, namely the banks, which we envisage would see a 3% expansion in earnings for every 10 bps increase in OPR. Elsewhere, bulk of the stocks under our portfolio is not expected to be adversely affected by the OPR hike since: 1) most borrowings are term loans or bonds, 2) some companies are in net cash position, and 3) several companies hold debts in foreign currencies. Nevertheless, we believe the plantation and O&G players could see earnings weaken by higher borrowing costs. Other counters saddled with relatively high debt include IJM, WCT Puncak and Tenaga.

3) Foreign exposure increases for Malaysia The shift in global liquidity has resulted to the considerable inflow of capitals into mainly the emerging economies. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), FDI into Malaysia had registered a net inflow totalling RM11.0bn in 1H10. We also note that the international reserves level at BNM had improved through to November 2010 underpinned by the inflow of short term funds. On a yearly basis, total reserves at BNM had advanced by 10.1% YoY, amounting to USD105.8bn as at 15th November 2010. 2011 Market Outlook

Foreign inflows to boost equity participation We see inflow of foreign interest and equity participation to likely boost the market ahead of the rollout of ETP projects and to capture potential gains from a stronger Ringgit. Here, we undertake a study to analyse the impact of the rise in foreign trading via their equity participation in the market vs. the KLCI’s performance. We note that the average foreign trading participation was at a 10‐year high in 2008 when the KLCI peaked to a high of 1,516.22. By 4Q 2008, the market started to weaken due to the credit crisis. This resulted in a sell down by foreign investors as the equities trading participation in the market plunged to 27% by end‐2009 from 43% at end‐2008.

Foreign interest could push KLCI to new highs Based on our analysis, we find that the movement of the foreign trading participation does not directly correspond with the KLCI. However, we observe that the participation would increase when the KLCI’s PER valuations are on a downtrend and vice versa. At current price levels, the KLCI is currently trading at PER FY11 of 14.5x – attractive vis‐à‐vis the market’s average 11‐ year PER cycle of 16.7x. We believe this could be a possible catalyst in driving the KLCI to new highs of 1,820. High beta blue chip stocks on the radar screen We believe high beta blue chip counters will stand to benefit from the influx of foreign funds. We note that the participation level for some of these stocks have been climbing over the past year. Banking stocks such as CIMB (Buy, TP:RM10.80), Maybank (Buy, TP:RM11.30), PBB (Hold, TP:RM13.70) and AMMB (Buy, TP:RM7.40) traditionally garners strong foreign interest. Construction counters such as Gamuda (Buy, TP:RM4.24) and IJM (Buy, TP:RM7.36) could also see keen interests due to the rollout of ETP projects next year while plantation and O&G stocks such as KNM (Buy, TP:RM2.80), Perisai (Buy, TP:RM0.65), KLK (Buy, TP:RM22.23) and Sime Darby (Buy, TP:RM10.25) could gain from rising commodity prices.

31.5 RM1.0bn sales every year in the future due to land scarcity in prime areas in Malaysia. Therefore, these companies would have no choice but to venture into overseas market to sustain its yearly sales. Having said that, we understand that the competition landscape in overseas markets, especially in China and Vietnam is stiff and uneasy for our “new & small” Malaysian companies with market cap of less than USD2bn. As such, these companies would need to expand via M&As. We believe SP Setia and Mah Sing would be open to the idea of M&A (refer to Table below). This will not only improve the size of the companies, but would also improve its chances to be a member of FBM KLCI. Note that the combined UEM Land‐ Sunrise, MRCB‐IJM Land, and Sunway Holdings‐Suncity market capitalisation will increase to RM9.0bn, RM7.2bn and RM3.9bn respectively, ranking 18th, 22nd, 28th in FBM KLCI component stocks by market cap. Figure 61 1)
Property SP Setia + I&P Our mosaic theory
:
Common shareholder, ie: PNB Both companies have solid profit track record SP Setia has yearly sales of RM2.1bn for FY10. SP Setia needs to replenish its land bank and I&P could offer its 5,000 acres underveloped land bank in Malaysia. The combined shareholders' funds amounting to RM4.9bn will be larger than UEM Land (post Sunrise acquisition) of RM3bn. The combined‐entity will likely be admitted to FBMKLCI

The combined entities would have shareholder's funds of RM6.4bn, which is larter then UEM Land (post Sunrise acquisition) of RM3bn. The combined‐entity will likely be admitted to FBMKLCI

Banking: Small to mid‐sized banks are beefing up their asset base while at the same time, cleaning out their books. This, we believe, could simply suggest that these smaller financial institutions are gearing up to completely especially with the entrance of new foreign players. It could also suggest that these small to mid‐sized banks are priming up their books to attract and get good values from potential takeover offers, going forward. 1) Take over by larger banks We see a possibility for CIMB or Maybank tying up with other government linked banks such as RHB Cap. We believe that the group’s major shareholder, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) would be willing to give up its 25% stake for the right price. Elsewhere, we see synergies between PBB and HLBB due similarly in their customer base. We also envisage M&A opportunities among banking groups with standalone IBs and/or stockbroking companies. Here, we believe the rumoured acquisition of OSK would not only augur well for Maybank’s IB and wealth management divisions, but also allow it to tap into OSK’s entrenched network in the region. This, we opine, would address one of the challenges posed where PEMANDU suggested that some of these segments remained “highly fragmented” and “lack the scale, to scale up in domestic markets, let alone to establish a meaningful position in regional markets.” 2) Merger of same sized banks to boost economies of scale The issuance of 5 new commercial banking licenses back in June 2010 (and another two licenses for mega Islamic banks) should help elevate Malaysia’s status as an international financial hub. Nevertheless, we believe the presence of these global banks would pose some threat to the local banking system, in particular those with huge exposure to the capital market, wealth and asset management. As such, we think it would make economic sense for the small to mid‐sized players to combine forces ‐ like the proposed acquisition of EON Cap by HLBB ‐ to boost economies of scale. On that note, we also see synergies between AMMB and RHB Cap. 3) Acquisition by a foreign player Although management has on numerous occasions denied that common shareholder, Temasek, is looking to merge with Singapore‐based DBS Group with AFG, we think the possibility of a combined entity would augur well for both parties. For AFG, the potential is huge from DBS’ capital and network point of view. For DBS, AFG has a good and ready platform for DBS to penetrate the Malaysian market. 4) More overseas M&A Under the ETP, local financial institutions will be encouraged to broaden their regional and global reach for both conventional banking and Islamic finance. This is to help cushion the local players against dwindling domestic growth and profitability as the market becomes more saturated. In reality, most of the locally listed financial institutions in Malaysia have already established a solid footing overseas. Some choose to grow organically (such as Public Bank in Cambodia and Hong Kong), while others acquired banking groups in Indonesia, Thailand, China and Pakistan (namely CIMB, Maybank, Hong Leong Bank, RHB Cap and Affin). HLBB has also always said that they are keen to acquire one or two smaller banks in the region. 2011 Market Outlook

Oil & Gas: A flurry of M&A could be on the cards in 2011. Our example of Alam Maritim and Tanjung Offshore (refer to Table below) could kick start increasing M&A activities as players in the O&G industry will get more competitive in order to be a one stop service provider. The idea is that a synergistic merger could stabilise company earnings allowing them to capitalise on the various stages of the deepwater activities in Sabah and Sarawak which could span some 20 to 30 years. The government through the ETP’s has encouraged players in the fabrication business to merge in order to create regional fabrication champions. MMHE with its net cash position of approximately RM1bn is likely to be the candidate to kick start these activities. Once again, competition in the industry could force other players to follow suit in order to win bigger contracts and be more competitive globally. Figure 62 1)

Consumer: The consumer sector has always been perceived as a defensive sector with resilient earnings. M&A stories are scarce as consumer companies are tightly held by MNC or individual families, which may not let go its controlling interests. Companies that could attract buying interest are usually running businesses, which are cash‐generating. Having said that, we believe QSR/KFC would eventually be acquired. Besides that, we believe F&N will utilize its spare cash to acquire a new business to replace its discontinued glass operations. The board of QSR has rejected the RM6.70/share offers from Tan Sri Halim Saad on the acquisition of QSR’s assets and liabilities as well as its business undertaking. Concurrently, Kulim has rejected Carlyle group’s RM6.70/share offer on its 58% stake in QSR. We believe these two acquirers would not shy away by revising the offer price higher. If Kulim agrees to the disposal of QSR, we think it will trigger MGO’s for the remaining shares of QSR as well as KFC given that the QSR is currently holding more than 50% stake in KFC. The million dollar question here is that at what price would Kulim consider selling QSR and KFC (refer to Table below)? F&N’s M&A story should be more straightforward. After disposing its glass units and returning part of the proceeds to shareholders, F&N is still net with >RM400mn cash. According to management, the company would utilize the balance proceeds to acquire businesses which will fuel its future earnings growth, or return the balance proceeds to the shareholders. Our channel check indicates that the company likes the snack food business which will complement its soft drink division. (refer to table below).

Benchmarking to the highest price that JCorp paid to purchase QSR shares in the market recently, ie RM5.61, and applying a premium of 20% for the controlling power, we believe JCorp may consider selling QSR at RM7.30/share

Big In Asia
Background Axiata is a product of TM‐demerger back in 2007 and was previously known as TM International. Currently, Axiata is one of the largest Asian telecommunication companies, focusing on high growth low penetration emerging markets. Axiata has controlling interests in mobile operators in Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Cambodia with significant strategic stakes in India, Singapore and Iran. India and Indonesia are amongst the fastest growing telecommunications markets in the world. The Group, including its subsidiaries and associates, has over 130mn mobile subscribers in Asia and serves the needs of Asia by providing affordable and innovative mobile services covering over 1.5bn people across 10 countries. Axiata’s vision is to be a regional champion by 2015 by piecing together the best throughout the region in connectivity, technology and people, uniting them towards a single goal: “Advancing Asia”. Investment Themes XL Axiata is expected to be the main earnings contributor to Axiata for FY11‐13. We are expecting revenue contribution to be in the range of 45‐ 48% whilst EBITDA at >50% contribution. Looking forward, XL is expected to focus on strategies to attract high‐end value‐added customers. Thus, we expect XL’s ARPU to expand to Rp200 from Rp191. Robi Bangladesh has been performing really well this year despite a highly challenging environment and issues concerning the tax structure on SIM tax of BDT800(USD12) per new connection. Thus, challenge for Robi would be generating quality customers or RGB (Revenue Generating Base) and retaining customers in order to optimize its costs. This can be achieved via its aggressive marketing campaigns for usage, quality acquisition, re‐ activation and retention. We expect Robi to contribute 8‐9% to topline and 5‐6% to EBITDA for FY11‐13 respectively. Locally, we are bullish on the sector outlook underpinned by higher data and internet usage, which more than offset the decline in ARPU. Having said that, we project Celcom’s revenue from data and internet usage to grow by >50% in FY11‐13 to contribute 13‐15% to revenue. We believe the recent award of the 2.6GHz spectrum to nine players as part of PEMANDU’s ETP to drive the Communication industry. The spectrum has the capacity for 4G network which will lead to an upgrade from 3G to LTE. We understand Axiata has been awarded with one spectrum which bodes well for the group to face the fast changing market environment. We expect the rollout of potentially 4G/LTE services to commence by end‐2012. Valuation We derive a target price of RM5.90 for Axiata based on Sum‐of‐Parts valuation methodology. Maintain Buy recommendation on Axiata.

Boustead Holdings Berhad
Last Traded: RM5.64
Multiple Re-rating Catalysts
Background Boustead’s principal business activities can be categorised into six groups, 1) plantation, 2) property, 3) heavy industries, 4) finance, 5) trading (BH Petroleum), and 6) manufacturing & healthcare. The group is well known for its flagship and highly successful Mutiara Damansara property project. Boustead also owns the right to build 21 naval patrol vessels for Royal Malaysian Navy. Its major shareholder is LTAT, the nation army’s investment fund. Investment Thesis We expect earnings growth to pick up sharply ahead, underpinned by 1) rally in CPO price, 2) synergistic and earnings accretive acquisition of Pharmaniaga, and 3) a modest contribution from second bacth patrol vessels construction job. We expect CPO price to continue remaining high in 2011 due to supply constraint. YTD CPO has rallied 35%. On a base case scenario, we estimate Pharmaniaga will add approximately 5 sen to FY11 EPS, with further upside if management could raise efficiency and extract synergy with its existing pharmaceutical business. Key re‐rating catalysts: 1) the group sealing the contact to build the second batch of patrol vessels. It already received the LOI and currently finalizing design and financial value of the contract. We expect Boustead to receive the LOA in mid‐2011, and the contract could potentially worth RM8bn. Earnings contribution from the patrol vessels job is modest in FY11 but would accelerate in FY12, which is the key driver of the 19% YoY group earnings growth in FY12, and 2) successful execution of property development projects that forms part of the government’s land sale initiatives. We understand that the two land bank, one at Jalan Cochrance (60 acres) and another at Jalan Ipoh (260 acres) could generate as much as RM16bn‐RM18bn GDV over the next 10 years. We have yet to include these projects into our earnings forecasts.

Enhancing shareholders return. Boustead is an attractive dividend play – net dividend of 5% ‐ 6% annually. Plantation is a cash cow, especially when prices are high. In addition, the acquisition of Pharmaniaga brings along steady stream of cash flow backed by government concessions. Rising ROE (12% in FY12 vs. 9% in FY10) may further incentivize management to increase payout ratio. Already, 9MFY10 payout ratio of 100% (27 sen) exceeded our expectations and shows management is prepared to increase dividends in line with earnings growth.
Recommendation We derive a target price of RM6.94 for Boustead based on Sum‐of‐Parts valuation methodology. As highlighted above, there is room for upgrade if, 1) sustainable CPO price exceed our expectations, and 2) management delivers on the property development projects. Key downside risk factors to our recommendation are, 1) economic downturn that would affect the plantation, property and heavy industries segments, 2) sharp contraction in CPO price, 3) the group fails or significant delay in replenishing patrol vessels construction job.

Growing From Strength to Strength
Background By asset size, CIMB Group is the second largest financial services provider in Malaysia. CIMB is however, the largest financial services provider among its local banking peers in terms of market capitalisation – of around RM63.3bn; with total equity and YTD net profit of RM24.5bn and RM2.6bn respectively. The group boasts solid staff strength in excess of 37,000 employees in the domestic and international markets such as Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, UK, USA, Brunei, Myanmar, Vietnam, Bahrain and Cambodia. Investment Themes Results have been impressive with the group tuning in record net profit over the past 2 consecutive quarters due to strong operating income and sharp decline in loan impairment. We think the strong earnings momentum is sustainable, thanks to better contributions envisaged from overseas operations and potential synergies from 1Platform. By geographical segment, contributions from CIMB Niaga more than doubled to RM958mn from RM416mn a year ago. Meanwhile, CIMB Thai remained profitable with YTD net profit of RM91mn although contributions dipped to RM18mn from RM37mn in 2Q. YTD, overseas operations now account for around 47% of total PBT compared with around 20% in 9M FY09. Going forward, CIMB will continue to drive 1Platform to: 1) create a unified multi‐local bank across the region, 2) promote borderless banking to not only provide similar experience for all customers but improve cost efficiency, and 3) increase operational efficiency and reduce risk. 1Platform will be implemented in phases over the next 5 years, starting with Thailand, then Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Management is budgeting total investments of approximately RM1.1bn for the entire project. CIMB is expected to be one of the strongest beneficiaries from the Economic Transformation Plan (ETP). Potential loan base of RM1.29trn is envisaged, driven by RM1.4trn investment requirement under the ETP (2011‐2020). We note that 92% of the entire ETP initiatives are to be financed by the private sector and GLCs while only 8% will be publicly funded. Other recommendations outlined to boost the debt market with an active secondary market include: 1) widening the credit spectrum of the fixed‐income market, 2) increase participation of foreign issuers and investors, and 3) increase retail participation. Recommendation CIMB is fairly valued at RM10.80 (based on the Gordon Growth Model, assuming cost of equity of 9.6%, ROE of 17.4% and sustainable long‐term growth of 6% or an implied P/BV of 3.2x). We believe the upcoming general elections, rollout of projects under ETP and possibly an influx of foreign funds for currency gains could fuel a rally for the banking stocks. Buy maintained.

Singapore To Lead Another Growth Phase
Background Genting Berhad is a leading Malaysian conglomerate with business interests in leisure hospitality, plantation, property, power and oil & gas sector. The company, through its subsidiary, Resorts World Berhad owns and operates Genting Highlands Resort, which includes the only casino facility in Malaysia. Through its stake in Genting Singapore, the group also owns the Resorts World Singapore (RWS) which operates one of only two casinos in Singapore. Its plantation arm, Gentling Plantations owns more than 130k ha plantation land bank in Malaysia and Indonesia. Genting's power business includes 58.6% stake in a Genting Sanyen Power S/B and other stake in power plants in China and India, with total net attributable capacity of close to 2100MW. Investment Thesis Strong earnings growth momentum – we expect core earnings to grow by 40% in FY11 and another 10% in FY12 underpinned by strong performance by Genting Singapore and windfall from the rally in CPO price. Genting Singapore is crown in the jewel and accounts for 64% of Genting Bhd’s SOP valuation. Strong franchise, attraction as one‐stop entertainment center to regional high rollers and relatively lower tax rate vis‐à‐vis Malaysia and Macau would guarantee RWS outperforming its regional peers, in our view. Plantation on the other hand is benefiting from strong rally in CPO price (+35% YTD). The segment only accounts for 5% ‐ 7% of EBIT, but the contribution could increase sharply once the Indonesia estates mature in 2012/13.

Streamlining of assets should boost ROE, reduce holding company discount and enable a more accurate valuation of underlying assets. Genting has traditionally suffered holding company discount due to, 1) all key subsidiaries are listed separately, and 2) conglomerate discount (assets sprawling various industries, i.e., gaming, power, plantation, O&G and property). We believe management is serious on monetising its non‐core assets, particularly power and O&G and reinvest the capital into what they knows the best – gaming (Genting HK to be injected into one of the listed assets?). The group recently sold its deferred pretax profit share in Muturi block for USD136.5mn. The stake in Indian power assets are also up for sale. It is also no secret that the plantation arm is up for sale, although pricing has consistently become a major stumbling block. Although we think management assets disposal as a long term objective, attractive valuation of assets globally (particularly utilities and plantation) would provide a conducive background to accelerate this target, in our view.
A cheaper proxy to Genting Singapore (Genting Bhd: 15.1x PER, Gentling Singapore: 34.22x PER). We believe the prices of both stocks would become increasingly correlated ahead. In this perspective, Genting Bhd stand to benefit, valuation wise as it has been consistently traded at a discount to Genting Singapore. Gentling Bhd owns a 51.7% interest in Genting Singapore.

All-Rounder Beneficiary
Background IJM Corp Bhd is involved in construction, property development (through 62.5%‐owned IJM Land Bhd), manufacture of industrial products, plantation (through 55%‐owned IJM Plantation Bhd) and infrastructure. From the latest quarterly results, IJM Corp derived the main chunk of its earnings from its property and plantation divisions. 1HFY11 core net earnings marked a commendable 34.2% YoY growth thanks to increase in margin. IJM Corp’s current construction orderbook stands at approximately RM3.6bn. Investment Themes Construction: We view IJM Corp as a main contender and beneficiary from the Economic Transformation Programme. We believe that IJM Corp is poised to benefit from highway constructions jobs particularly the West Coast Expressway which cost an estimated RM5bn. IJM Corp would benefit from this project through its stake in KEuro. In addition, with the recent proposed merger between IJM Land and MRCB, we believe that construction jobs from the Sungai Buloh land would trickle down to IJM Corp. Property: IJM Land currently has an unbilled sale of around RM900mn. Come March 2011, IJM Land is set to have launch around RM1.2bn worth of properties – mainly in the high‐end market. YoY, the blended property margin has increased from mid‐teens to low‐twenties. This remarkable figure shows efficiency coupled with sustained demands in the properties mart. In addition, the proposed IJM Land‐MRCB merger would add value to IJM Corp in the medium term from the synergy. Plantation: With the advent of rising CPO prices, IJM Plantation stands to benefit as well. The average CPO price/tonne showed a hefty 20% increase from RM2,164 to RM2,592 for the period of September 2009 to September 2010. Our house projects CPO prices to average RM2,700/tonne moving forward into CY11. In addition, we expect the maiden earnings contribution from its East Kalimantan 9,000 hectare ventures to come in CY12. Recommendation We derive a target price of RM7.36 based on CY11 23x construction PER, 25x property PER, 16x plantation PER and 18x industry and infrastructure PER. We recommend investors to Buy based on healthy sector outlook, active Government participation in the country’s development and job flows from the proposed IJM Land‐MRCB merger. Key risks include 1) Project execution; 2) Political kickbacks 3) New order target falling behind expectations.

Good Remedy for the Toner Market
Background JADI Imaging Holdings Berhad (JADI) is a world‐class independent toner manufacturer (a.k.a. an aftermarket toner maker) with about 2% share in the global toner market. More than 90% of the group’s products are exported to over 50 countries. JADI is the only toner manufacturer in Malaysia and the largest in Southeast Asia. The group develops, formulates and manufactures toners for laser printers, photocopiers, facsimile machines and multi‐function office equipments. Earnings Drivers JADI is in a position to achieve several near‐to‐medium term milestones which, if met, would position the group to become the biggest independent toner manufacturer in the world with total annual production capacity of 15,000MT. The recent investment of Mega First Corp Bhd reflects a great amount of confidence in JADI’s current developments, future prospects and quality of the group’s asset base.
JADI is the sole toner manufacturer in Malaysia and the largest in Southeast Asia. The group had drawn up aggressive plans to expand capacity. The group also plans to install a new conventional process line and the first ever high value‐added palm‐oil based Chemically Produced Toner (CPT) plant by the end of this year. Another three new CPT plants will come on stream in 2012. Management is also looking to add five new conventional process lines between 2012 and 2015. All in, this capacity expansion would position the group to become the largest independent toner manufacturer in the world.
JADI intends to introduce its new range of palm‐oil based CPT and palm‐oil based Green Toner Resin in 2011. The palm‐oil based resin is the first of its kind to be introduced in the industry. The production of resin for internal consumption will help reduce cost substantially (about 20‐25%) and translate into higher profit margin. The growing importance of green initiatives and to become environmentally responsible will also support growth in the aftermarket. We believe it would encourage consumers and businesses to make the switch from buying originals to re‐manufactured products to help protect the environment while reducing cost. JADI’s palm‐ oil based resin could be a catalyst for growth in the future.
CPT will help to serve new market segments. We believe the ability to provide both conventional and CPT products will help differentiate the group from other competitors.
China is a fast developing market. We believe the potential here is so large that it cannot be ignored. We believe that the growth momentum for China’s printer consumables will stay resilient throughout 2011. Despite the effects from the global crisis, industry players are confident that overall growth in the toner industry will remain firm over the next three years.
Valuation We maintain our long term positive views on JADI due to the stock’s good earnings prospects. Our target price of RM0.38 is based on CY11 PER of 16x. Buy. Key risks to our target price include: 1) strengthening of USD and JPY, 2) Europe’s debt crisis significantly impacting end‐user demand, 3) higher raw material costs, and 4) delay in capacity expansion plans.

Glory Days Could Be Back
Background Despite its week stock performance in the past two years, KNM remains our preferred oil and gas play going into 2011. This is attributable to its capable management, strong technical capabilities, technology driven strategic joint venture activity, continued capacity expansion and a proxy to the global oil & gas industry. After being in the shadow for two years, management is convinced that a global recovery is inevitable. Investment Thesis In terms of product mix, the group is now focused on technology and plant division. This division will allow the group to be one‐stop service provider whereby it will not only be involved in process equipment fabrication but has an added service of a separation plant as well. By leveraging on this, the group will be able to eliminate competition significantly and achieve higher margin. The group has already increased its capacity by 7% to 157,200 MT in FY10. This is supported by a higher utilisation rate of 67% anticipated in FY11. Its current order book and tender book stands at RM2.4bn and RM16bn respectively. The current order book should take the group through to 2012. We assume the group would secure additional RM3bn order book based on management’ guidance of a 20% win rate.
The recovery in oil prices has spurred oil majors interests’ globally to increase its development activities. With its presence worldwide, KNM will be a prime beneficiary as it is renowned for its process equipment fabrication and can leverage on its turnkey, industrial services and process technology.
Another industry of growth that the group could be gaining more orders is from the power, desalination and steam generation. This industry has grown by 17% from 2008 to 2009 and is expected to trend higher in the following year. A major breakthrough for KNM could come from nuclear project. The group has already made efforts to get its foot in through the door by setting up a JV with South Africa’s Aveng Ltd.
Valuation We are bullish on KNM’s outlook and hence recommending the stock as
a Buy with a revised target price of RM2.80. We use a target PER multiple of 14x, which imputes a 20% discount to the blended average CY11 PER of MMHE and Kencana given the much larger market cap of its peers. We are benchmarking KNM to MMHE and Kencana as there are no other direct competitors locally. Despite the different product offerings, the common denominator is that all three players are notable fabricators and are focused in the oil & gas sector.

Mah Sing Group Berhad
Last Traded: RM 1.78
Set to Change Malaysia’s Skyline
Background Mah Sing is a property developer, which has 15 on‐going projects that spread across the Klang Valley, Penang and Johor. The group has been aggressively replenishing its landbank with 10 up‐coming projects for future launches. In late‐2009, Mah Sing spread its wing to China after landing a letter of intent from Wujin District People’s Government, Changzhou City to develop a mixed property development project on a piece of land measuring 87.31 acres located on the west of Wuyi Road, Changzhou City. All in, the group has a remaining GDV of RM6.3bn. Investment Themes Mah Sing has carved a niche position for the group with a fast turnaround business model, focusing on prime areas in Malaysia. The model works relatively well, boosting the new sales to an unchartered territory of RM1.16bn (see Figure 1) for 9MFY10, representing 60% above FY09’s total sales.
Given the significant increase in sales this year, earnings visibility has improved further with an unbilled amount of RM1,176mn vs RM1,170mn in 2Q10. This is expected to keep the company busy for the next one year.
Looking forward, we project Mah Sing’s FY11‐12 sales to increase to RM1.61‐1.66bn, which mainly come from Kinrara Residence, Garden Residence/Garden Plaza, Icon Residence@Mont’ Kiara, Icon City in PJ and Star Avenue. We expect EBIT margin to normalise to high‐twenties levels from FY12 onwards when: 1) the bulk of the 5/95‐derived sales exhausted; and 2) the expiry of the rental guarantee period on the East Wing and West Wing of the Icon Tun Razak. All in, we project Mah Sing’s FY10‐12 net profit to grow at 21‐30%.

Mah Sing is sitting on a healthy cash pile of RM232mn with a comfortable net gearing ratio of 22%. The strong operating cash flow of estimated RM66mn‐153mn is sufficient to meet debt repayments of RM24mn per annum for FY11‐13. To finance future land acquisitions, Mah Sing has proposed to issue 7‐years redeemable convertible secured bonds with a nominal value of RM325mn.
Recommendation We are using the discounted free cash flow valuation methodology to capture Mah Sing’s strong earnings growth for FY10‐14, after taking into account the capex requirement for future land acquisitions. Assuming a terminal growth rate of 3% after FY14, we are discounting Mah Sing’s future free cash flow at a cost of equity of 9.8% and arrive at a fair value of RM2.48/share. Given the potential upside of 39%, we reiterate our Buy recommendation on Mah Sing.

Unlocking Value Through ETS
Background Maybank Group is a leading financial services provider in Malaysia. The group is supported by a large network of over 1,750 branches and offices in 14 countries. Internationally, the group has notable presence in Indonesia, Singapore and Pakistan (through a MCB Bank). Maybank has the largest asset base among its local banking peers – of close to RM350bn; and market capitalisation of RM60.2bn; with total equity and total net profit (FY10) of RM28.3bn and RM3.8bn respectively. Investment Themes Embarked on a new Enterprise Transformation Services (ETS) where the group’s business is segregated into three key business pillars namely: 1) Community Financial Services, 2) Wholesale Banking, and 3) Insurance & Takaful. Through these three focus areas, management aims to engage and forge a closer relationship with the community, leverage on its vast corporate network to become a truly wholesale bank as well as to strengthen its insurance & Takaful business to spur generation of new revenue streams. Maybank should benefit from the Economic Transformation Plan (ETP). Potential loan base of RM1.29trn is envisaged, driven by RM1.4tn investment requirement under the ETP (2011‐2020). We note that 92% of the entire ETP initiatives are to be financed by the private sector and GLCs while only 8% will be publicly funded. Other recommendations outlined to boost the debt market with an active secondary market include: 1) widening the credit spectrum of the fixed‐income market, 2) increase participation of foreign issuers and investors, and 3) increase retail participation. Contributions from overseas operations expected to accelerate. In the recent results release, BII reported better PBT contribution of Rp84bn, underpinned by robust operating income (+22.6% YoY) while Singapore posted a 3.6% YoY increase in PBT to S$84.1mn (1Q FY10: S$81.2mn). MCB Bank also remained profitable with PBT jumping by a healthy 20.3% YoY on the back of an 11.5% increase in revenue. Overseas operations currently account for around 20% of total PBT. Introduced the Dividend Reinvestment Plan to better manage capital. Management opines that Maybank should be able to meet the more stringent Basel III capital requirements without the need to raise equity capital. We believe Maybank is on track to meet its target ROE of 14% for FY11. Recommendation Maybank is fairly valued at RM11.30 (based on the Gordon Growth Model, assuming cost of equity of 9.1%, ROE of 15.7% and sustainable long‐term growth of 5% or an implied P/BV of 2.6x). We believe the upcoming general elections, rollout of projects under ETP and possibly an influx of foreign funds for currency gains could fuel a rally for the banking stocks. Buy maintained.

It Has Regional Presence Now
Background QL Resources was founded by Dr Chia Song Kun and family back in 1987. The business started off as a small‐scale marine‐based products trader. QL is an abbreviation of “Quan Li” which means “Win‐win”. Over the years, the company expanded prosperously after venturing into new business segment, forming an integrated business model. QL is now involved in the marine‐products manufacturing (MPM), palm oil activities (POA) and integrated livestock and feedmeal (ILF). QL is currently the biggest surimi producer in South East Asia, one of the strongest and durable ILF players in the country and has a growing land bank for oil palm plantation. QL was listed on Bursa in 2000. Investment Themes We like QL as the company continues to invest in expansion plans combined with development of business model. QL recognized the value in technology advancement and green energy. Recall, QL has ventured into the downstream business of palm oil with its palm‐biomass pelletizing system despite the fact that Malaysia is still behind in the mass commercialisation of biomass energy. We derive a ballpark profit contribution of RM35mn from this division in FY12 alone.
QL has also been venturing into regional countries and contribution is expected to kick in by FY12. QL has presence in Indonesia and Vietnam. In Indonesia, QL is exposed to all three business divisions, i) surimi plant in Surabaya, ii) layer and breeder farms in Cianjur and iii) palm oil plantation in Kalimantan.

We expect Surabaya MPM plant to boost capacity by 15‐20% ‐ with 2 lines of surimi and 1 line of fishmeal production. We estimate RM70‐80mn revenue contribution and EBIT margin of 10‐12%. Phase I of Cianjur plant is expected to produce 500k eggs per day and 1mn DOCs per month. We expect revenue contribution for FY12 to be in the range of RM50‐60mn. POA is to contribute significantly as the matured areas are expected to quadruple by FY12 and to be fully planted by 2013. QL is also building a third CPO mill by end‐2011. We estimate PBT to increase by RM4‐8mn in FY12 and RM12‐65mn from FY13‐15.
In Vietnam, its USD10mn plant will kickstart with 500k eggs by end‐FY12. As mentioned, we expect margin in Vietnam to be better thanks to higher selling prices.
Recommendation Buy based on our target price of RM7.00. It reflects 17x FY12 PER.

Realising Its Potential
Background Sime Darby is the largest plantation company in the world. It controls 6% of the global CPO output and have downstream plantation presence in over 15 countries. Apart from plantation, other sectors where Sime Darby has substantial exposure are property, motors, industrial, equipment, energy & utilities and healthcare. The group is one of the top three largest companies (by market cap) listed on Bursa Malaysia. Investment Themes Sime Darby is an ideal proxy to CPO price and therefore, also a proxy to commodity plays, one of our investment themes for 2011. Management estimate RM100 change in CPO price would impact earnings by RM200mn (+/‐ 6.5% FY11 EPS). Our earnings projection are currently based on RM2,700/tonne and RM2,650/tonne average price in CY11 and CY12 respectively. Our assumption could turn out to be overly conservative if supply risk crystallizes due to adverse condition (El Nino and La Nina). At RM3,000/tonne, our FY11/12 earnings forecasts will increase by 14% ‐ 15%, implying forward PER of 13x only vs. historical average of 18x.
We believe the worst is over for Sime. Management assured risk of further provisions at the O&G unit is remote. On the upside, management is pursuing losses recovery, including by legal means. Share price is still discounting corporate governance issue, in our opinion, as reflected by 2.5% decline YTD vs. 23% gain in KL Plantation Index and 35% increase in CPO price. However, we think confidence building is an ongoing process and the stock could be re‐rated if management delivers on its promises.

We also view Sime Darby as an M&A candidate. Datuk Mohd Bakke Salleh, the new Group Chief Executive and President have extensive background in corporate restructuring. His first move was to restructure management and set up board committee on business division level. That lends credential to him spearheading a value unlocking assets restructuring exercise. We see three potential M&A angle, 1) spin‐off of non‐plantation assets into a separate listing. The likeliest candidates are property and motor, 2) merger of property assets with other property companies, possibly its sister companies (I&P Group, SP Setia or Mah Sing which has common major shareholder – PNB). We think there is also political will to see this through as evident from recent mergers involving GLC/GLICs related companies (MRCB‐ IJM Land & UEM Land – Sunrise) and 3) listing of plantation assets, although we think this is the least likeliest scenario.
Recommendation We derive a target price of RM10.25 for Sime Darby based on Sum‐of‐Parts valuation methodology. We pegged a target PER of 18x for the plantation division, 14x for industrial equipment and 12x for other core‐assets. Key risk factors to our earnings forecasts/recommendation are, 1) economic downturn, 2) sharp contraction in CPO price, 3) execution risk in management restructuring, 4) value destroying assets transaction/M&A, 5) further losses from the O&G segment.

Bright Construction Outlook
Background WCT Bhd is primarily involved in civil engineering, building & infrastructure construction, property development, property investment & management and toll highway concession. The company derives the main chunk of earnings from the construction and property divisions. In addition, WCT is now venturing into the retail concession business with Malaysian Airports Holdings Bhd and also the hospitality and management business with its first hotel, Premiere in Klang. Investment Themes Construction: True to their word, WCT delivered on their FY10 new order book target of RM2bn. These projects are: Bahrain City Centre Hotels Fit‐out works worth RM467mn KLIA2 Integrated Complex Malaysia worth RM486mn Tuaran Hospital, Sabah Malaysia worth RM128mn Government Adminstrative Building, Qatar worth RM1.36bn
The Bahrain City Centre Hotels Fit‐out works is set to be completed by December 2010. WCT guided pretax margin figures of 5% for the Tuaran Hospital, 5% for the KLIA2 and 7% for the Qatari Government building. We believe that these figures are conservative at best and also note that corporate tax is not imposed on non‐oil companies in Bahrain.
Margin: YoY, construction and property margin registered an increase and among all the big construction plays, WCT has registered one of the more consistent margin. In addition, the property margin has seen a consistent increase for the past three quarters inline with the strong demand in the properties mart.
Development Expansion: WCT indicated that it has acquired a new piece of land in Klang measuring 56acres or about 2.4mn sqft. We believe that the land was acquired for a value in the region of RM24mn to RM30mn. The Gross Development Value of the land is around RM300mn until 2014. They would develop it into a gated and guarded up‐market residential area with a central land and park. The land is located between Parklands and Bukit Tinggi II.
Recommendation We derive a target price of RM3.45 base on FY11 16x construction PER and 14x properties PER. We recommend investors to Buy based on positive construction sector outlook, healthy order book, and upbeat properties sector. Key risks include 1) Project execution; 2) Political kickbacks in the Middle East; 3) New order target falling behind expectations.

Strong Economy Supports Further Rerating The brighter equity market outlook in 2011 is well supported by a sustained expansion in the GDP. The Malaysian economy had rebounded back strongly to register an astounding YTD 3Q10 growth of 8.0% given the accommodative fiscal and monetary policies in place. Both the external and domestic consumption demand had rebounded in 2010, bringing GDP to a double digit expansion of 10.1% YoY in 1Q10; a moderated 8.9% YoY in 2Q; and slower growth of 5.3% in 3Q. For the full year, annual growth may come in at 6.7% for 2010 and thereafter tapering to 5.4% for 2011. Overall growth will continue to be well supported primarily by the domestic economic activities. Namely, private consumption will benefit from the favourable employment conditions, firm commodity prices and accommodative financing environment. Meanwhile, the expansion in private investment is expected to be driven by capital outlays into various domestic‐oriented sectors in line with the country’s Economic Transformation Program. Contrastingly, recent indicators on exports and external‐ related sectors suggest that external demand may slack as the international front remains uncertain.

Leading indicators signal slowdown ahead On the whole, the Leading Index (LI) suggests that the economy is stabilizing and thus GDP growth will slow down in the coming quarters. In September, the index was at 173.9 points, which was unchanged from the previous month. However, the six‐month smoothed growth rate of the LI had declined to 1.6% from 2.2% in the previous month. Namely, money supply M1 in September had improved by 11.5% YoY, owing to the improved economic performance to date. The price index of the services segment has also been moving in tandem with the relatively moderate pace of inflation. The miscellaneous and services sub‐segment of CPI advanced by a modest 2.1% while overall CPI grew by 1.8% in September 2010. Aside from that, we also note some dwindling trade activities between Malaysia and its major trading markets in 2H10. Specifically, Malaysia’s total trade with China fell by 4.8% in September as compared to January this year.

Leading indicator vs. KLCI The stable economy and a swift rebound to record a growth by 1Q10 had boosted investors’ confidence for the rest of 2010. In line with the economic advancement, we note that the KLCI had also advanced by a steady 18.2% to date. KLCI closed at 1485.23 points by end‐ November 2010. Based on our gauge, the leading index and KLCI is positively correlated with each other, baring a correlation coefficient of 0.75. Similarly, the 6‐month smooth growth rate of the LI had been trending in tandem with the KLCI especially since January 2007 until March 2010, but dispersed in opposite directions beginning April 2010 (refer to Figure 71 ‐ LI Growth rate vs. KLCI). We note that the 6‐months growth rate of LI had been narrowing considerably from a six year high of 12.9% seen in November 2009 to a marginal growth of 1.6% in September 2010. In contrast though, the KLCI continued to soar despite the initial signals of economic stabilisation. This signifies a constructive market sentiment among investors on the back of the overall positive economic backdrop.

Modest inflation Malaysia’s CPI had remained relatively modest compared to other economies regionally. We expect modest price increases in the coming months in view of the rising global commodity and food prices. Given the second round of subsidy rationalisation plan as announced on 3rd December 2010, we do envisage some gradual cost push pressure for 2011. We note that the domestic headline inflation registered a growth of 2.0% YoY in October (up from 1.8% in September), while cumulatively CPI came in at 1.7%. Our full year inflation projections are 1.8% and 2.8% for 2010 and 2011 respectively. Full rate of employment for 2010 and 2011 The favourable employment condition and full rate of employment will persist on the back of the firm fundamentals of the economy. Economic activities had generally expanded as at YTD 2010. MIER’s Consumer Sentiments Index (CSI) surges to a 2 year high of 115.8 points during 3Q10. Consumers are generally confident over present income level and job prospects ahead. Nonetheless, inflationary jitters are sipping suggesting early signals that overall spending will slow moving forward. To date August 2010, the unemployment rate had registered an average of 3.4%. For both this year and next year, we expect unemployment rate of between 3.0‐3.5%.

Robust trade balance
Trade balance continues to post a surplus as at YTD September 2010. Our 2010 trade projections include: (1) exports growth of 14.0% YoY; (2) imports to accelerate by 20.3%; and (3) trade surplus amounting to RM107.4bn. Moving forward, the external demand is expected to grow modestly on the back of the economic stabilization, relatively strong Ringgit and also the uncertain external environment. For 2011, exports and imports may expand by 4.7% and 5.6% YoY respectively and thus overall trade balance to register a surplus totalling RM108.0bn.

Full normalization of OPR in 2011
Bank Negara left the OPR unchanged at 2.75% during the final MPC meet of 2010. Ahead of next year’s MPC meeting, we anticipate a gradual normalization of rates to pre‐crisis level of 3.50% by the end of 2011. We expect three separate increases in the OPR of 25bps each during the MPC meets in 1Q; 3Q; and 4Q11. The MPC meetings will convene six times a year based on the following schedule shown in the figure below.

Ringgit fluctuates in an orderly manner
The Ringgit had been fluctuating in an orderly manner, soaring to a 13‐year high of RM3.0775 per USD on November 5th. It snapped the rally thereafter on speculation that BNM will prevent the currency from a rapid appreciation in line with the pause from further OPR hike for the remaining of 2010. As at YTD though, the Ringgit had appreciated considerably against most major currencies including EUR (+12.9%); GBP (10.5%); and USD (9.2%). The Ringgit averages at RM3.2300 per USD to date November 15th. Our 2011 year‐end target for the Ringgit is RM2.80. Here, we believe that the domestic economic conditions are favourable and constructive for a strong Ringgit going forward.

ECONOMIC DOWNSIDE RISK Global imbalance
Globally, a striking economic imbalance continues to persist. The economic outlook remains bleak for most of the developed countries. Growth stays slow for the more advanced economies as a result of the weak consumption demand and investment spending paired with sluggish exports growth. By contrast, in many emerging markets where excesses were limited and scars are few, consumption, investment and net exports have been contributing to strong growth bringing output once again close to potential.

Europe Debt crisis The economic risk in Eurozone persists with threats for more turmoil in the sovereign‐debt markets. The fiscal austerities will stifle growth in the Euro region as a result of debt restructuring among nations and international institutions. In the same manner, the financial market pressure on Europe's weaker economies will intensify. In terms of trades, Malaysia has limited exposure to Europe’s debt stricken countries including Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy. Nevertheless, as a whole EU is among Malaysia’s top ten export market which contributes a substantial 10.7% towards YTD September 2010 exports. As such, prolonging uncertainties in Europe will in the long run have negative implications on Malaysia’s bilateral trade. Global liquidity and market risk Aside from that, the shift in global liquidity and increasing inflows of capital into emerging economies raises both economic risks and markets’ volatility. Likewise, these anomalies have also been increasing for Malaysia. The international reserves held at BNM for instance had been improving throughout this year. In part, this is attributable to the inflow of short term funds. Among which could prompt the reversal of fund flows includes the anticipation of the Federal Reserve raising interest rate in the US in view of an improved economic prospect. The sooner than expected increase of US benchmark rate may cause repeals of particularly the USD carry trades that are held in Malaysia and also in other parts of the world. Slower demand amid economic uncertainties According to MIER, the Business Condition Index (BCI) for Malaysia slipped by 14.7 points QoQ to settle lower at 104.9 points in 3Q10. This was due to the significantly lower demand for goods and expectations for further slowdown in the exports segment in the coming months. On the flipside, capacity utilization advanced albeit at a marginal growth pace. Besides that, other economic threats for the country may include: (1) inflationary risk as a result of soaring commodity prices; (2) decelerating trends for leading indicators and factory output; (3) slowdown in regional growth as economies withdraw stimulus; and (4) precipitous rise in real estate and property prices in Asia.

Technical Outlook for 2011
Race the Rabbit
As the title suggests, we are bullish technically for 2011, with the Year of the Rabbit (according to the Chinese Almanac) likely representing a good year for the market. Hence, we recommend investors to load up ahead of a “Rabbit Rally” in 2011.
Technical Conclusions for 2011
Rally to 1,532 New High Represent Wave (3) From 836 Low Base Case Wave (5) Peak at 1,813 by End 2011 Best Case Alternate Wave (3) Peak at 2,043 by End 2011 Buy Market Dips Early 2011, Then Sell Rally to 1,813/2,043
Global Stock Markets Recap for 2009 & 2010 Stock markets globally managed to reverse most of their heavy losses from the 2008 credit crisis, staging sharp V‐shaped recoveries in 2009 which extended well into 2010 triggered by quantitative easing and other stimulus measures by major global central bankers. The global economic recovery gained pace in 2010 led by China and other emerging markets, while a second round of quantitative easing, or QE2, sustained the upward momentum in 2H10 fueled by price rises on property and commodities, and as emerging currencies strengthened on fund inflows. Consequently, Indonesia and Thailand’s stock markets rallied an astounding 46.9% and 41.7% in 2010 (YTD as at 7 Dec) after rising 87% and 63.2% respectively the previous year, as they benefit the most from foreign fund inflows. Placed third, the FBM Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) was quite impressive with 18% YTD appreciation following a 45.2% gain in 2009, ahead of Germany and South Korea which added 17.5% and 16.6%. On the other side of the scale, China’s Shanghai and Japan’s Nikkei‐225 indices lost 12.2% and 3.8% YTD. However, on a two‐year basis (end 2008 to 7 December, 2010) the local benchmark which in total climbed 71.3%, lost out to Indonesia with pole position for a remarkable 174.6% gain, followed by Shenzen (+136.7%), Thailand (+131.3%), India (+101.3%), Taiwan (+89.6%), Singapore (+81.2%) and South Korea (+74.5%). The usual underperformers were developed financial markets in Japan (+14.5%) and US (+29.4%). The table below reflects the performance of the FBM KLCI, FBM EMAS and FBM Small Cap Indices against major global and regional indices for 2009 and 2010 (year‐to‐date as at 7 December, 2010).

2010 Market Review KLCI Dipped to 1,224 Year Low on External Adversity The FBM KLCI began trading the year 2010 at 1,272, then pushed above 1,300 briefly by late January on M&A optimism after Bank Negara approved Hong Leong Bank’s takeover talks with EON Capital Bhd. Adverse external sentiment from the US government’s prohibition of banks from proprietary trading and hedge funds and private equity investments, and from the jittery European sovereign debt situation dragged it down to the low of 1,224 on 9 February, which turned out to be the year’s low point. Positive Domestic Leads Drove Index to 1,350 Peak early May A global rally sparked by prospects for an EU bailout for Greece rescued the situation, lifting the index back above 1,300 helped by positive domestic developments after January exports jumped to an 11‐year high, privatization of ASTRO and as the PM launched the first stage of NEM in the Invest Malaysia conference. The index peaked at 1,350 on 4 May, before tumbling again on external adversity after S&P’s credit ratings downgrade of Greece and Portugal forced a USD1tn bailout by the EU and the IMF, and amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Korean peninsula. Rebound from 1,243 Low on 10MP and Ringgit Strength The subsequent recovery from a higher low of 1,243 on 27 May was aided by the PM’s unveiling of subsidy cuts and the 10 th Malaysia Plan for a high income economy to achieve average GDP of 6% per annum. Strength in the local currency after China let the yuan strengthen against the dollar and recognized Malaysia as an approved investment destination helped sustain the upward momentum mid‐year. Breakout Rally Above UTC (1,370) on 17th August The uptrend extended to high of 1,370 on 3 August, after Bank Negara raised the OPR a third time to 2.75% on stronger economic outlook and after billionaire Ananda Krishnan offered to privatize Measat Global and Tanjong plc, which fueled market speculation on potential privatization of undervalued companies. On 17th August, the index staged breakout rally above the uptrend channel which connects the February and May lows and the highs of 1,350 and 1,370, following positive sentiment from the strong 8.9% 2Q GDP growth and Bank Negara’s liberalization on trading in the ringgit for offshore settlement. Climb Above 1,500 on General Elections Hint The market extended rally to challenge the 1,500 level by mid‐October, as fears of a double‐dip recession ebbed after Japan moved to lower interest rates towards zero and provided USD60bn in asset purchases. After a shallow post Budget profit‐ taking dip, the index resumed higher and climbed above 1,500 by late October as the PM hinted the 13th general elections will be held next year in the UMNO general assembly.

Rally to New High on QE2 Thereafter, a global rally lifted the index to a new all‐time high of 1,532 on 10 November, after the US Federal Reserve undertook to buy additional USD600bn of Treasuries through June 2011 in a second round of quantitative easing, aptly described as QE2. A number of M&A deals between GLCs and non GLCs such as UEM Land‐Sunrise, MRCB‐IJM Land and takeover of PLUS by EPF and UEM Group subsequently managed to cushion downside by late November, offsetting weaker external sentiment dampened by concerns over the deteriorating Eurozone sovereign debt crisis and further credit tightening by China to curb inflation.

Major KLCI Cycles Since 1997 Looking back at the major cycles for the KLCI on the weekly chart above, note that since peaking at 1,297 in February 1997, the index slumped for the next 19 months to eventually bottom out at the extreme low of 261 in Sep 1998, depressed by the Asian financial crisis then (Chart 2). The ensuing sharp V‐shape rebound triggered by capital controls sustained a 17‐month rally which was capped at 1,021 high in Feb 2000, followed by a 14‐month correction which tapered off above the 548 low in April 2001. The subsequent recovery was more muted and contained within an uptrend channel with the April 2001 (548) and March 2003 (616) lows defining the lower boundary of the channel. A bullish breakout from the channel in Nov 2006 unleashed a strong bull‐run in 2007, which was interrupted by two steep corrections, prior to peaking at an all‐time high of 1,525 in January 2008. The ensuing sell‐down stalled at the 801 low in October 2008, and the index succeeded in re‐building support from the lower band of the uptrend channel from April 2001, thereby completing the major bearish head & shoulders chart formation.

Review of KLCI Cycles in 2009/2010 Zeroing into the two‐year daily KLCI chart above (Chart 3), the index bounced off the Oct 2008 trough of 801 on a zig‐zag fashion to peak at 936 high in January 2009, but then retraced to a higher low of 836 in March 2009, before stimulus from major global central bankers’ liquidity injection into financial markets gradually worked its way into the local stock market and sustained the recovery process. Note that the brief pullback below the important 200‐day moving average level in May was cushioned by the rising 0.382 Fibonacci Fan Line (FFL) support, which was pivotal in anchoring the rally to reach a new all‐time high of 1,532 by November 2010.
The table below summarizes the up and down cycles since May 2006 to current, followed by our assumptions on the likely direction for 2011 (in bold).

2011 Outlook Correction From 1,525 Peak Terminated at 801 Low From the weekly KLCI chart above (Chart 4), we had illustrated the sharp sell‐off from the all‐time high of 1,525 (Jan 2008) to 1,157 low (March 2008) as wave a of a corrective Elliot Wave count, followed by a bounce to 1,305 high (April 2008) to complete wave b. The subsequent wave c ended at 801 low (Oct 2008), terminated by the intervention of global central bankers which reversed bearish market conditions then and fueled a liquidity driven rally up to the present moment. Rally to 1,532 New High Represent Impulse Wave (3) From 836 Low The subsequent zig‐zag recovery from 801 low to 936 high (Jan 2009) is indicated as wave (1) of a new bullish up‐wave, with wave (2) correction to 836 low (March 2009) followed by a strong impulse wave (3) rally lifting the index to the current record high of 1,532 (Nov 2010). Note that wave (3) had already completed a 20‐month uptrend from the March 2009 low (one month short of the Fibonacci number sequence of 21), amid a weakening MACD weekly signal line, suggesting a wave 4 downward correction may ensue early 2011. Probable Wave (4) Correction to Stall UpSwing Hence, we have a probable scenario where wave (3) peaked at 1,532, followed by a wave (4) correction to possibly 1,422, 1,388 or 1,354, representing the respective 38.2%, 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci Retracements (FR) of the up‐swing from the most recent pivotal low of 1,243 of 27 May to the 1,532 high of 10 November. However, the upside resilience and low‐beta nature of the 30 blue‐chip constituents of the FBM KLCI indicate the index could most possibly suffer only a shallow dip to 1,464, the 23.6%FR, before resuming higher. Wave (5) Peak at 1,813 by End 2011 Subsequently, a resumption of the up‐trend for a wave (5) rally should then lift the index up to our base case upside target of 1,813, assuming the prior wave 3 rally (from 548 low of April 2001 to 1,525 peak of January 2008) equals the current up‐ wave from 836 low, that is (1,525 – 548 = 977 + 836 = 1,813). This will be our base case upside target for end 2011. Technical Outlook for 2011

More Bullish Alternate Wave (3) Count The alternate wave count, which is more bullish, is shown on the monthly KLCI chart (Chart 5). Assuming emerging stock markets continue to attract tremendous amount of liquidity and capital inflows from quantitative easing in the US and other developed markets, and compounded by bullish local factors such as implementation of the various ETP projects and pre‐ election rally, the local stock index benchmark may climb even higher. An extended wave (3) rally may then sustain through next year and beyond 1,813, the upside target where wave 3 equals wave (3). Probable higher targets are 2,043, 2,186 and 2,301, the respective 1.236, 1.382 and 1.5 extensions of wave 3. Looking ahead, confirmation of the end of wave (3) will bring forth corrective wave (4) with probable downside to the respective 76.4%FR, 61.8%FR and 50%FR of wave (3) from 2012 onwards.

Conclusion Base Case Upside to 1,813 by End 2011 In summary, the FBM KLCI is currently riding on impulse wave (3) of a bullish wave count starting from the 836 pivot low of March 2009, which probably peaked at the recent all‐time high at 1,532 in November 2010. The weekly MACD sell signal favors a wave (4) correction, which most probably would be a shallow dip to 1,464 during the first quarter of 2011. The subsequent wave (5) upswing should then lift the index to our base case upside target of 1,813 by end 2011, assuming the prior wave 3 rally equals wave (3) in magnitude. Alternately, the best case scenario will be a wave (3) extension for breakout above 1,813 and target 2,043, 2,186 or 2,301, the respective 1.236, 1.382 and 1.5 extensions of wave 3. Confirmation of the end of wave (3) will bring forth corrective wave (4) with probable downside to the respective 76.4%FR, 61.8%FR and 50%FR of wave (3) from 2012 onwards. Buy Market Dips Early 2011, Then Sell Rally to 1,813/2,043 As such, our trading recommendation for 2011 will be to buy during market dips at the beginning of the year for upside towards our base case upside target of 1,813 by end of the year, and then sell rallies ahead of the subsequent downward correction. A defensive investment strategy should follow by accumulating key defensive plantation, gaming and power/utility stocks to ride out the ensuing market correction phase. The list of our top ten blue chip recommendations for 2011 is provided in the next section. Technical Outlook for 2011

After charting a significant peak of RM8.46 on Jan 2008, Maybank plunged to low of RM3.28 on March 2009, losing almost all its gains from May 2001. The subsequent sharp V‐shape reversal lifted share price up to overcome the Jan 2008 peak in late 2010, peaking at RM9 in November. Looking ahead, the uptrend should sustain in 2011, with downside cushioned at RM8.10 (IS) and RM7.70 (S1), reinforced by the rising 2/3SRL support lines. The long‐ term upside targets are RM10 (IT), RM10.50 (T1) and RM11 (T2) towards 2012, bordering the rising 2/3 SRL from the March 2009 low.

Upside Target
CIMB Group shares initiated a strong recovery from the Dec 2008 base, which was the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement (FR) of the up‐trend from RM1.08 low (April 2001) to the RM5.70 peak (May 2007), prior to breakout above the May 2007 peak in October 2009. The bullish breakout saw rally extension to recent high of RM8.62 in November, bordering the extended Speed Resistance Line (SRL) connecting the April 2001 low to May 2007 peak. Going forward, the current strong uptrend is expected to persist towards RM9 (IT) to RM10 (T1), and even to RM11 (T2) and RM12 (T3) if buying momentum strengthens further. Immediate supports are at RM8.00 (IS) and RM7.50 (S1), underpinned by the rising 2/3 SRL.

Sime Darby shares formed a major low at RM4.85 in Dec 2008, just above the 76.4% Fibonacci Retracement (FR) of the up‐trend from RM2.37 low (April 2001) to the RM12.25 peak (Jan 2008), followed by base building for the next three months. Prices subsequently recovered to RM9.19 high on Jan 2010 prior to correction to rebuild support above RM7.50 in mid 2010. Looking ahead, share price need to overcome a major upside hurdle at the 23.6%FR near RM10 (IT) to enhance further upside towards RM11 (T1) and RM12 (T2), underpinned by the rising 0.5 Fibonacci Fan Line (FFL) from the Dec 2008 trough. Immediate supports are at RM8.50 (IS) and RM8.00 (S1), cushioned by the rising 0.618 FFL.

For the coming year, share price uptrend is likely to mirror the rising 2/3 SRL, with the 30 and 50‐week moving averages cushioning price dips during corrections.

IOI Corp shares peaked at RM8.01 in Jan 2008 before plunging to low of RM1.98 in Oct 2008, in line with a tumble in CPO prices to the RM800/tonne level then. The subsequent V‐shape rally stalled near the 38.2%FR of the Jan 2001 to Jan 2008 upswing in late 2009/early 2010, followed by correction which delayed a breakout to late 2010 to a recent high of RM6.01 in November 2010. For the coming year, a decisive push above the rising 0.5 FFL is needed to boost upside momentum towards RM6.50 (IT), where the 23.6%FR may act as significant barrier to further upside. Good support is anticipated from RM5.40 (IS) and RM5.00 (S1), reinforced by the rising 0.618 FFL.

Technical Comments Following a gradual recovery from RM1.00 low in Dec 2002, TM shares traded sideways from 2005 to 2008 before resuming uptrend to RM3.00 high in Sept 2009. A decisive breakout in April 2010 brought share price up to a recent high of RM3.53 in Oct 2010. Going forward, share price could trend higher along with the rising 0.5 Fibonacci Fan Line (FFL) from the Nov 2008 trough, with upside projections of RM3.80 (IT), RM4.00 (T1) and RM4.20 (T2), representing the respective 1.382, 1.5 and 1.618 Fibonacci Projection of the Dec 2002 to Sept 2009 rally. Important uptrend support would come from the rising 50‐week moving average.

Gamuda shares plunged from the Jan 2008 peak of RM5.52 to hit low of RM1.25 on Oct 2008 before salvaging 61.8% of the losses as share price reached a recent peak of RM4.01 two years after the trough. Since then, share price has retraced into base building mode, with immediate downside cushion anticipated at RM3.40 (IS), representing the 50%FR and Aug 2009 high, and stronger support at RM3.00 (S1). The immediate upside targets for 2011 will be RM4.10 (IT) and RM4.50 (T1), matching the 76.4%FR, while higher targets of RM4.80 (T2) and RM5.00 (3) may be achieved if sentiment improves further.

RM7.20 RM7.60 RM8.00 -
UMW shares retraced 38.2% of the rally from RM1.06 low (Oct 2000) to RM7.18 peak (Jan 2008), bouncing off the RM4.66 low in Dec 2008 and returned to uptrend mode which gained traction in 2010. The 50‐week moving average and 0.382 Fibonacci Fan Line (FFL) are important uptrend support lines which should sustain in 2011. On the upside, a decisive breakout above the Jan 2008 peak will accelerate gain towards RM7.60 (T1) and RM8.00 (T2).

YTL Power staged a 61.8% pullback of the upswing from 92sen low (July 2000) to RM2.80 peak (Dec 2007), specifically to RM1.61 low on Aug 2008, before reversing upwards to resume uptrend to a recent high of RM2.76 in Nov 2010. Share price is currently trading near immediate support from RM2.35 (IS), representing the 23.6%FR, while stronger supports are at RM2.20 (S1) and RM2.10 (SL), the 38.2%FR. In 2011, a confirmed breakout above RM2.80 (IT) is crucial to boost upside towards RM3.00 (T1) and RM3.20 (T2), to be in line with the rising Speed Resistance Line (SRL) from the Aug 2008 trough.
