WCT -3.03% RM1.28 - WCT Holdings Bhd Paradigm Mall saw 18% of its tenants close shop and move out about two months ago, leaving behind vacancies that have yet to be taken up in the mall's first wave of tenancy renewals since it opened for business about three years ago. A total of 53 units out of 289 units closed at the end of May 2015, due to the expiry of their tenancy tenure.

 

5) SCOMI ENERGY

Scomi Energy Services Bhd''s Marine Services has secured contracts worth more than RM140 million in the last four months from within the region. The contracts are for the transportation of coal and provision of offshore vessel services to clients in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

Demand for coal from Malaysian coal-powered power plants is expected to increase over the next few years, in line with the projected increase in total electricity generated for the country hence they plan to continue bidding for more affreightment contracts to maximise the utilisation rates of the vessels.  

For the offshore services unit, which provides vessel services to the oil and gas industry, the company is actively bidding for work in India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Middle East.

 

6) Market - Sentiment driven selling primarily triggered by falling reserves and political issues will continue to weigh on the KLCI for the balance of the week. With the initial 1660-1680pts breached the coming days will be critical to observe if major GLCs participate in shoring up confidence. Failure to do so could see the market trend lower towards early 2012 levels of 1610pts lvls.
