Dateline 2010-10-30:
MALAYSIAN Marine & Heavy Engineering Holdings (MMHE) made an impressive debut on the stock exchange yesterday, rewarding retail subscribers of its shares with a hefty gain of almost 25 per cent.
Given the company’s stellar first-day performance, investor interest in the impending listing of Petronas Chemicals Group – the next Petronas unit slated to float its shares this year in Malaysia’s biggest IPO offering – is bound to be magnified.
Retail and institutional investors had subscribed for MMHE’s public offer at RM3.61 (S$1.50) and RM3.80 per share respectively. The closing price yesterday was RM4.51.

Pouring oil on the fire, dateline 2010-10-19: Is it politically correct to bring out at this point that I need a work permit to ply my trade in Sabah and Sarawak?
DAP national publicity secretary Tony Pua has claimed that Sabah and Sarawak will remain marginalised because most projects under Budget 2011 are for peninsular Malaysia.
Of 39 prominent projects stipulated in the Budget, Pua said only eight were based in the two states and that the value of all projects in the peninsula amounted to a massive RM109.74bil.
“In contrast, Sabah and Sarawak’s amounted to a meagre RM9.55bil or just 8% of the total value,” he told reporters at Parliament lobby.
Pua said in the oil and gas sector, Sabah and Sarawak had contributed 44.5% in terms of crude oil and 64.1% of natural gas production in 2007.
“Based on the Ninth Malaysia Plan mid-term review, the two states remained the poorest in the country. It is hard to imagine that it was only in 1970 when Sabah was the second richest state in the country.”

From Bloomberg, dateline 2010-10-12:
Petronas Chemicals Bhd., the petrochemicals unit of Malaysia’s state oil company, may raise as much as $4 billion in the Southeast Asian nation’s biggest initial public offer, said two people familiar with the matter.
Banks advising on the sale set an indicative price of 5.20 ringgit per share, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The company had originally planned to raise about $2 billion, people with knowledge of the matter said in June.
Petronas Chemicals is one of two Petroliam Nasional Bhd. units slated for a listing this year. Malaysia Marine & Heavy Engineering Bhd., a maritime heavy engineering group, said in a prospectus Oct. 6 that it aims to raise as much as 2.04 billion ringgit ($655 million) this month.

From Bloomberg, dateline 2010-10-12:
Petroliam Nasional Bhd., Malaysia’s state oil and gas company, increased a price-adjustment factor for its benchmark Tapis crude to a record for a second month.
Petronas, as the Kuala Lumpur-based company is known, raised the factor to $4.20 a barrel for October, up 10 cents from September, said an official today, asking not to be identified because of corporate policy. Last year, the adjustment factor averaged $2.48.
The increase follows a recovery in profit for turning light crude such as Tapis into gasoil, or diesel. The product’s premium to Dubai crude, the Asian benchmark, ended September trading at $11.97 a barrel, the first monthly gain in three, according to brokers PVM Oil Associates. This crack spread climbed to $13.38 today, the highest since Aug. 3.
Petronas includes the Tapis adjustment factor in its formula for calculating monthly crude official selling prices. The other component is the average of twice-weekly assessments compiled by the Asian Petroleum Price Index, a Hong Kong-based panel of traders.
