Corporate Profile

By growing as a company since its inception in 1997, Key Alliance Group Berhad, previously known as DVM Technology Berhad has undergone diversification from a purely IT company to a multi-industrial group of companies with the same principles and values.

To reflect this diversification, the group changed its name and also its visual identity, assisting shareholders and investors to identify the company from its achievements. The change in identity also exhibits the long-term goals of the group, which is to have a working relationship that is synergistic between all the companies in the group.

In the field of business, diversification allows the group to access more industries and fields. Hence, innovative and interesting products can be produced with more conviction. The right fit for a great product might not be in its expected applications, in light of this, having access to more industries allows for one product to be tested by professionals across multiple fields and converge on the group level in analysis.

This strategic move from its days as an IT solutions and services provider underlines the vision of the group as it harnesses its knowledge and expertise to support its valued customers in Malaysia and abroad to obtain that competitive advantage.

Najib delivers RM20b boost for stock market

yenboy — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 00:33:20 +0800

PUTRAJAYA: The government has introduced measures to boost the economy which includes asking both international and local Malaysian companies to repatriate profits and reinvest in Malaysia and to reactivate ValueCap Sdn Bhd with a RM20 billion injection to boost under-performing shares.

Other steps include restructuring and rescheduling the loans of small and medium enterprises and to beef up the working capital guarantee scheme with an additional RM2 billion to other sectors besides the RM5 billion set aside for the services sector.

In announcing specific and proactive economic measures to deal with the country's current economic development and financial situation here today, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak also said import duty exemption would be given to 90 tariff lines covering consumable spare parts and research apparatus
used in the manufacturing sector until the global economy recovered.

"This is in addition to the existing 319 tariff lines which have already been given an import duty exemption," he said, adding that about 900 manufacturing companies would benefit in annual cost savings of between
RM100,000 and RM500,000.

And, to further stimulate domestic and foreign investments, he said the Domestic Investment Strategic Fund would be continued with an additional allocation of RM1 billion under the 11th Malaysia Plan period.

Additional measures on the capital economy would be announced in the 2016 Budget on Oct 23, he added
Najib also said since the country recovered from the 1997/1998 Asian financial crisis, private companies and Government-Linked Investment Companies (GLICs) abroad had expanded and increased their investments, which exceeded the amount of direct investments in the country.

As of June 2015, Malaysia was a net exporter of capital. Investments made by GLIC overseas stood at RM522 billion against foreign direct investment amounting to RM477 billion.

The Prime Minister also said the government was reactivating ValueCap, formed in 2002, as an entity to support underperforming shares and had proven to be effective in stabilising the equity market.

"ValueCap has given handsome returns to shareholders like Permodalan Nasional Bhd, Retirement Fund Incorporated and Khazanah Nasional Bhd," said Najib.

He said SMEs could apply to restructure and reschedule their loans from financial institutions or the Bank Negara Malaysia's credit guarantee scheme if necessary," he added.

On the additional allocation for the Domestic Investment Strategic Fund, he said it was aimed at accelerating local companies transition into high value-added, high-tech, knowledge-intensive and innovation-based industries.

The Prime Minister said among medium-term measures considered included curbing dependence on foreign workers as they contributed to cash outflow of RM28 billion in 2014 and impeded local wage rate growth.

He said the government would also introduce measures to raise the income and welfare of the bottom 40 per cent of the households.

The government will continue to monitor and minimise the impact of global economic uncertainty on the country's economy, he added.

"Even with the implementation of the proactive measures, the government remains committed to implementing fiscal consolidation to lower the fiscal deficit to 3.2 per cent of gross domestic product this year from 3.4 per cent last year," he said.

Defence budget 2015
SHAH ALAM: Defence Ministry got RM17.7 billion in the 2015 budget, an increase of almost RM1.6 billion compared to last year. The Operational Expenditure for 2015 is RM14.144 billion, an increase of some RM789 million compared to same period last year. The OE breakdown is RM6.796B for emolument and RM7.167B for other purpose (operations and maintenance). The amount allocated is about 1.5 per cent of the GDP.

The Development Expenditure (DE) for 2015 is RM3.618 for compared to RM2.744 billion in 2014. Between 2011 to 2015, the amount of DE will amount to RM15.8 billion while the OE is around RM50 billion.
Unlike last year, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak did not say how the DE money is to be spend but since the AV8, LCS/SGPV (below) and A400M projects are still on going, we can expect much of the RM3.618 billion will be spent on these projects.

In his speech, carried by Bernama (the national news agency) Najib said “to increase the level of safety and public order as well as national security, RM17.7 billion is allocated to the ATM while RM9.1 billion, to the PDRM. A sum of RM804 million is also allocated to Maritime Enforcement Agency Malaysia to strengthen maritime enforcement.

“The Government is committed to reducing the crime rate in the country, one of the NKRAs. For this, the Government will increase the intake of policemen by 11,757 personnel, build 14 Police Headquarters (IPK) and Police Stations including a new block for IPK Perlis as well as strengthen the PDRM police patrol through the purchase of 1,000 units of motorcycles.The Government will also allocate RM121 million for PDRM to implement various programmes under NKRA.

“To increase the readiness of ATM’s personnel and assets, RM7 billion will be allocated to purchase and maintain the defence assets. Apart from this, the welfare of armed forces personnel will also be improved, including health services and housing.

“Meanwhile, to improve maritime safety, APMM will be allocated RM393 million. This is for improving operational efficiency and the purchase of seven new patrol vessels.

Despite the rhetoric on Sabah and Sarawak, not much is being provided in the 2015 budget. Najib in his speech said:

“Sabah has a long and wide coastline. To enhance security in Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZONE) and Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCOM), the Government will allocate RM660 million.

“Two battalions comprising a battalion PGA PDRM and an Army battalion with 1,280 new personnel have been approved. Two new camps will also be built in ESSZONE, namely Kem Batalion 20 PGA in Beluran and Kem ATM in Felda Sahabat, Lahad Datu, Sabah.

“In addition, military and security operation equipment will be further improved, such as procurement of high-capability monitoring radar. The Government will also use a modified oil rig and an auxiliary vessel as Sea Basing in the ESSZONE waters, with an allocation of RM230 million through Petronas CSR programme.

Bunga Mas Lima is to be used as a part of the Sea basing operations for ESSCOM.
“Furthermore, to enable high-capacity aircraft to land, the Government will upgrade the runway at the airport in Lahad Datu, as well as relocate Squadron Hawk from Butterworth to Labuan, with an allocation of RM50 million.

“The Government will also relocate water villages in Semporna and Sandakan in stages. The Government hopes that through the initiative, the safety of Malaysians in Sabah will be safeguarded and economic activities to rebound.”

The Hawk squadron relocation to Labuan is interesting, though. As RMAF Hawk fleet is down to 19 aircraft (six two seaters and 13 single seaters) one has to wonder whether this means that all of the Mk208s will be based in Labuan and the fast jet training will be left to the MB339CMs and the six Hawk Mk108s. More on this when information is available.
