4) Situationals:
SCOMI+8.57% RM0.38, IJM-7% RM4.75: Share price reached a high of RM0.39 after announcing Maju Holding Sdn Bhd executive chairman Tan Sri Abu Sahid Mohamed had increased his stake in Scomi to 8.746% with IJM Corp Bhd also proposing to acquire 10% shares valued at RM0.33 via private placement and subscribing of redeemable convertible secured bonds with an aggregate nominal value of RM110mil in cash. This move by IJM was supposedly an opportunity for them to venture into the o&g industry.
 
5) DAYANG/ PERDANA
Dayang finally disclosed today what the market had been speculating for the past few days. It announced that it had acquired an additional 1.17m shares in Perdana on 19/09 and a further 19.67m shares on the 20/09, thus raising their total holding to 94.51m shares or 19.09% in Perdana.
 
Positive for both parties as this will strengthen its case for marine services when bidding for more hook up, construction and commissioning jobs such as the RM8b-10b Pan Malaysian cluster works.
 
6) Market - Current weakness in the market has presented accumulation opportunities in defensive quality names at more reasonable levels such as HL Ind, KJoo, Uzma, Yinson.
