Readers with busy schedules during the week would inevitably have missed some of the interesting articles we have put up — news, analyses and comments you don’t get anywhere else. Here are some you just cannot afford to miss:
Pick 1 — The Casino Sector. This series of articles examines the casino sector both at home and in the region. We look at Genting and how this homegrown giant is faring in a world with increasing competition. The casino sector is also fighting a battle against illegal operations while trying to utilise the latest in technological innovation to lure folks to tables and slot machines. Read our six-part analysis here.
Pick 2 — Selangor water deal. Three of the four water concessionaires in Selangor rejected the federal governments latest offer to take over the state’s water assets. The Federal government then moved to force buy Selangor water assets in order to comply with the MoU signed with the Selangor state government. Section 114 of the WSIA was invoked in order to take over the water asset. Read about it here, here, here, here, here and here.
Pick 3 — Apa lagi Proton mahu? Proton has cost Malaysians consumers tens of billions of ringgit in its 30 years of existence. In return we have an uncompetitive national car company. Yet Proton continues to petition for incentives, subsidies, funding, or handouts. Read KiniBiz’s take on Proton’s latest request for funds here.
Pick 4 — A puzzling Federal Court ruling over bonds. Tiger is aware of the term “caveat emptor” which basically says “buyers beware”. But does that apply when we are talking about advisers who give wrong information? Should they should be held liable? A particular Federal Court ruling relating to this little conundrum puzzles Tiger no end.
Pick 5 — Local eggs in foreign movie basket, oh why? Although the Wolf of Wall Street prowled the streets of a city across the world from Tiger’s corporate jungle, the movie about his life was funded by a Malaysian. Although funded by a Malaysian to the tune of US$100 million the movie is also banned here. Malaysia is filled with talented movie makers who have made some award-winning movies. Tiger wonders why investors don’t look closer to home here.
Pick 6 — MH370 – Some questions and answers. The week has been filled with news, conjecture and contradictions about Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 which went missing enroute to Beijing on March 8. We attempt to provide some answers here as well as offer a continuously updated timeline here.
