Brexit prompts shock
construction slowdown
Uncertainty sees activity fall the most in September since vote
BY DAV ID M ILLIKEN
LONDON: Britains construction
companies in September reported
the sharpest fall in activity since just
after June 2016s Brexit vote, as clients
put projects on hold due to uncer-
tainty over the economy.

just 6% of Britains economy, the sur-

auction record for Chinese ceramics

old porcelain Song dynasty bowl
smashed the world auction re-

sale in Hong Kong.

particularly hurt. Official data last
month showed construction orders

Saikawa held a press conference on
Monday to lay out the facts, apol-

Nissans reaction as long as
there is nothing else to this inves-

IN BRIEF
Emerging markets to lure
US$1.1 trillion foreign
investment in 2017
NEW YORK: Emerging markets
will draw US$1.1 trillion (RM4.66
trillion) of capital flows from
non-resident investors this year,
the Institute of International Fi-
nance (IIF) said in a report re-
leased yesterday, ramping up its
estimates from earlier this year
as a result of increasing glob-
al risk appetite and economic
growth. It will mark the first time
since 2014 that the asset class
will see more than US$1 tril-
lion of capital flows from foreign
investors. The group also pro-
jects that investment will grow to
US$1.2 trillion in 2018 as growth
continues. With global growth
broadly based and inflation still
subdued, global risk appetite has
been near post-crisis highs, said
IIF executive managing director
Hung Tran. Moreover, growth
is accelerating more quickly
in emerging markets than in
mature markets typically a
big pull factor for investors.

KUALA LUMPUR: The resump-

pended chieftain Datuk Zakaria

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia,

KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara
Malaysias (BNM) Shariah Ad-
visory Council said the contract
session for bai al-sarf refers to the
period when contracting parties
enter into a contract, commencing
with an offer (ijab), followed by an
acceptance (qabul) to exchange
monies between each other.
Baial-sarf refers to a contract
for money exchange. Under syari-
ah, the delivery of money in baial-
sarf shall take place during the
contract session, the central bank
said in a statement yesterday.
The contract ends with the dis-
engagement of the contracting
parties physically or constructive-
ly, or through the waiving of rights
to revoke the contract (takhayur),
it said.
The practice of the delivery of
money in baial-sarf, for instance
on day two after [the] transac-
tion date (T+2), is construed to
have taken place after the con-
tract session.
However, this practice may be
allowed due to established cus-
tomary business practice (urf
tijari) arising from operational
constraints. In addition, the deliv-
ery of money beyond the contract
session may also be allowed in the
event of unexpected disruptions,
BNM said.
This is applicable for the exe-
cution of baial-sarf via electronic
and online mediums, but not for
changer/bureau de change.
It said it is necessary to clear-
ly define the contract session for
baial-sarf in the context of cur-
rent banking operations and to
ascertain whether the delivery
of money at T+2 is considered to
have taken place during or after
the contract session, to ensure
foreign exchange trading activities
undertaken by Islamic financial
institutions are syariah-compliant.
The effective date of this rul-
ing is subject to the effective date
of policy document on baial-sarf,
expected to be issued by end-2017,
the central bank added.
Separately, BNM deputy gov-
ernor Shaik Abdul Rasheed Abdul
Ghaffour said the central bank is
working on a five-year national
strategy to raise financial literacy
in the country, especially among
the younger generation.
The national strategy for fi-
nancial literacy has identified
five strategic priorities covering
all life stages from nurturing
values among young children, to
inculcating positive behaviour for
adults and preparing Malaysians
to retire comfortably. Specific ac-
tion plans would be formulated
to reach out to the masses, as well
as meeting the needs of specific
target groups, Abdul Rasheed
said in his keynote address at the
Federation of Malaysian Consum-
ers Associations Conference 2017
yesterday.

Cloudaron gains 50% LEAP Market will help retain Msian

on maiden trading day
BY A DA M A ZI Z
KUALA LUMPUR: Cloud solu-
tions provider Cloudaron Group
Bhd, the first to be listed on Bur-
sa Malaysias new Leading En-
trepreneur Accelerator Platform
(LEAP) Market, made a stellar
debut yesterday.
Its share price jumped 50%, or
5.5 sen, over its issue price of 11
sen on its maiden trading day
making it the best performer on
the first trading day in the past 12
months. However, the trading vol-
ume was thin with 315,000 shares
traded. Only qualified investors
registered with Bursa can partic-
ipate in the trading of LEAP-list-
ed shares.
Speaking at the companys list-
ing ceremony, its executive direc-
tor Lum Piew said Cloudaron is
seeking to either build or acquire
third-party digital business plat-
forms, to expand its portfolio to
attract more clients to use its ser-
vices.
Not many digital network or
cloud solutions providers run
their own online business, which
can provide a full experience on
the ins and outs of digital business
platforms on top of the services
being provided, said Lum.
By having a performing on-
line business platform, it will show
that we are qualified to bring the
right solutions to our customers,
he added.
The company has bought a 10%
stake in a Canadian real estate soft-
ware-as-a-service (SaaS) company,
which runs Ubertor, a subscrib-
er-based online platform for real
estate agencies. Cloudaron also op-
erates online insurance platform
RajaPremi and online property in-
vestment site DanaProperti both
based in Indonesia.
Set up in 2009, Cloudaron is cur-
rently controlled by the founder and
chief executive officer Ong Chang
Jeh, with a 34.3% stake, and tech in-
vestor Datuk Larry Gan Nyap Liou,
its chairman, with 8.1%.
Cloudarons core businesses
comprise providing integrated dig-
ital platforms for workplaces and
cloud infrastructure solutions.
Its clients include government,
health, education and financial
institutions, with customers not
just in Malaysia, but also in Singa-
pore, Indonesia, the Philippines,
and Thailand. In Malaysia, Ong said
Cloudaron controls the biggest mar-
ket share of SaaS business to private
education institutions.
On organic growth, Ong said the
company is eyeing more education
and financial institutions to offer its
services. We already have custom-
ers from the financial sectors, he
said, citing Singapore-based Unit-
ed Overseas Bank and Singapores
Central Provident Fund Board as
examples.
With our existing track record,
we are confident about our technical
and security capabilities in attracting
more players on board, he added.
Cloudaron is not discounting the
possibility of more fundraising from
the capital market in the future to
support its merger and acquisition
plans, as it has fully allocated pro-
ceeds from its listing debut, mainly
to open new representative offices
in Indonesia and the Philippines.
Its LEAP debut raised RM5.5 mil-
lion via the issuance of 50 million
new shares representing 6.4%
of its enlarged share capital at
11 sen apiece to sophisticated, or
high-net-worth investors.
For the financial year ended
March 31, 2017 (FY17), Cloudaron
recorded a net profit of RM5.2 mil-
lion, on RM69.6 million revenue.
Ong said the much higher net
income in FY17 compared with
its 15-month period ended March
31, 2016 of RM126,000, was due to
the inclusion of income from the
companies it acquired, including
Pro-Datech Systems Pte Ltd, which
is now its cloud infrastructure arm.
talents, says Bursas Tajuddin
BY ADAM A Z IZ
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malay-
sias Leading Entrepreneur Accel-
erator Platform (LEAP) Market
can help the country retain its
talented and growth-driven en-
trepreneurs, said Bursa Malaysia
Bhd chief executive officer Datuk
Seri Tajuddin Atan.
Speaking at the first LEAP
company listing yesterday, Ta-
juddin said entrepreneurs and
small and medium enterprises
(SMEs) could tap into Bursas
network to better reach poten-
tial investors via this new LEAP
Market.
Previously, because SMEs
lacked avenues which connect
them to a larger investor base,
investors from abroad with a lot
of funds acquire these compa-
nies and take them outside [of
Malaysia].
Later, they will come back
here and we will buy from them
the services which were essen-
tially developed by Malaysians,
Tajuddin said.
Meanwhile, Tajuddin brushed
off concerns over investing in
LEAP-listed companies, who go
through less stringent listing re-
quirements, compared with its
ACE and Main Market counter-
parts.
That is why in the early
stages, we welcome savvy,
high-net-worth investors who
are familiar with the risks in-
volved, when investing in new-
er companies. Otherwise, you
can opt [for] ACE and Main
Market-listed companies,
where we have all the meas-
ures in place for less-expe-
rienced investors, Tajuddin
also said.
Companies which qualify
for the LEAP Market include
those at seed or early growth,
but lack assets for collateral
and a track record. Only so-
phisticated investors de-
fined as individuals with more
than RM3 million in assets or
more than RM300,000 in an-
nual income, and corporates
with net assets of more than
RM10 million are allowed
to invest in LEAP companies.
According to a market study
by SME Corp Malaysia, some
19,000 local SMEs can benefit
from the launch of the LEAP
Market, being one of the av-
enues to seek the necessary
funding, added Tajuddin.
To date, 11 companies
including newly listed
Cloudaron Group Bhd have
approached advisers to look
into a LEAP listing.

Better prospects
should drive bank
valuations higher
BY SU L HI A ZMA N
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian banks
listed on the local bourse should
have an attractive valuation meas-
ured in terms of price-earnings ratio
(PER) and price-to-book ratio
due to more banking opportunities
that stem from better economic
prospects, says Barclays Bank plc
chairman John McFarlane.
Malaysia has a much better
economy than the United States
the country is growing more rapidly
and that creates better opportuni-
ty for the banking systems here,
McFarlane, a veteran banker with
more than 40 years of experience,
told reporters on the sidelines of the
Khazanah Megatrend Forum 2017.
In that respect, I can see why the
banks should trade with higher PER
and above the book value. PER is a
function of return, and it is a ques-
tion how much you can capture the
growth, he said. In theory that should
be a very attractive for the local banks.
On whether Barclays is keen to

McFarlane said: Not really as we

Barclays is really not looking for
a domestic presence, but rather a
network presence, with an inter-

He added that competing with
CIMB Group Holdings Bhd and Ma-

McFarlane, however, said Bar-

On consolidation of banking firms,
McFarlane said: With globally sys-

even developed countries are still
struggling to find the digital tax

The government, said Johari,

the methodology, mechanism and
implementation of the digital tax,
to be imposed on digital service

Najib promises goodies
for civil servants
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Najib Razak has
said several good news and im-
provements for civil servants
will be announced in the 2018
Budget to be tabled on Oct 23.
I understand that many are
waiting for certain announce-
ments, said Najib, who is also
the finance minister, at the 15th
Civil Service Premier Message
Gathering here yesterday.
Najibs message drew loud
applause from more than 5,000
civil servants who attended the
annual event at the Putrajaya In-
ternational Convention Centre.
At the event, the prime min-
ister delivered his message to
members of the public service
at the federal, state and local
government levels, as well as
those from government-linked
companies.
At the event, Najib said for the
past several decades, the gov-
ernment has highly appreciated
and expressed its gratitude to the
civil servants who have always
been working together with the
government administration, and
supporting each other.
He said the government, es-
pecially during the past eight
years, had implemented var-
ious initiatives and improve-
ments for the civil servants
innovation and creativity, especially
for the SME sector, would be some
of the focuses of Budget 2018.
Additionally, he said the peo-
ple-centric focus of previous budg-
ets should be continued. Our wish
is that [Budget 2018] will be centred
on the B40 (bottom 40%) and also
the M40 (middle 40%), he said.
Zafrul added that CIMB is opti-
mistic that the government would
be able to achieve its fiscal deficit
target of 3% this year on the back of
strong economic growth numbers.
What weve seen is that the gov- half of next year.

sify their revenue base, optimise
government expenditure, and of

Khazanah executive director
of investments, Tengku Datuk
Seri Azmil Zahruddin Raja Ab-
dul Aziz, added that what sets the
programme apart from other such
accelerators is that it encourages
non-tech-related applications in
addition to tech-centric ideas.
This is also a full national out-
reach, and we will look hard in oth-
er parts of Malaysia, not just the
Klang Valley, Azmil told reporters
at a prelaunch briefing.
Khazanah will be partnering

These included raising their
salaries by between 7% and 13%
in 2012, increasing the min-
imum pension from RM720
to RM820 for those serving 25
years or more in 2012, fixing the
minimum pay from RM832 to
RM1,200 per month beginning
July 2016, and giving an annual
salary movement of 3% annual-
ly for officers who had reached
the maximum salary, he said.
The government had also
implemented improvements
in terms of the civil servants
welfare, Najib added.
They included raising the
cost of living allowance by
RM50 per month in 2012 for
civil servants residing in sub-
urban areas and increasing the
housing allowance to RM300
per month in 2015, he said.
All the facilities and al-
lowances enjoyed by the civil
servants are due to the strong
cooperation between the gov-
ernment and the civil service,
which is efficient.
These will then create a
strong symbiosis in speeding
up or leapfrogging Malaysia to
be listed among the 20 most de-
veloped countries in the world
by year 2050, Najib added.

Zafrul pointed out that CIMBs
research team had raised its gross
domestic product (GDP) growth
projection for 2017 to 5.3% follow-
ing the 5.8% GDP growth recorded
in the second quarter of the year.

Giving the stake to the accelera-

Stop Rohingya
genocide
Sultan of Perak calls on Suu Kyi to end the crisis
BY EM I R ZA I NU L
KUALA LUMPUR: Sultan of Perak
Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah is
calling on Myanmar State Coun-
sellor Aung San Suu Kyi to stop
the atrocious genocide that is af-
fecting the Rohingya community
in the Rakhine state of Myanmar.
Sultan Nazrin considers the
humanitarian crisis happening
in Rakhine as genocide as he
believes it fulfils almost all the
criteria of a genocide as defined
by the United Nations in 1948.
Speaking during a dinner to
thank the donors and buyers of
The Edge Special ART Sale where
RM1.205 million was raised from
the auction of paintings for the
Rohingya cause, the sultan quoted
Suu Kyi herself in his appeal to the
state counsellor when he said: It is
not power that corrupts but fear.
He implored the Nobel Peace
Prize laureate to heed the words of
Pulitzer-winning journalist Nich-
olas Kristof: You will be judged in
years to come by how you respond-
ed to genocide on your watch.
And to those in positions of
power be they diplomats, neigh-

Companies should embrace digital payment
for expansion HSBC
BY S UPR I YA SU REND RA N
KUALA LUMPUR: In the age of the
digital economy, it is important for
corporate Malaysia to embrace dig-
ital payment as part of their modus
operandi to remain competitive,
according to HSBC Bank Malay-
sia Bhd.
Its country head of global liquid-
ity and cash management Mandeep
said companies need to change
or adapt their business model to
digital technology in order to ex-
pand their business beyond the
local market.
For example, if there is a com-
pany in the retail space that [op-
erates] entirely on a bricks-and-
mortar [model] in which payment
is made on paper [via cheques], it
limits their ability to expand their
market.
If you want to expand your
market, it has to be via electronic
payment (e-payment) or the adop-
tion of mobile commerce, he told
reporters at a media conference
yesterday.
He added that more small and
medium enterprises (SMEs) are now

neighbours, or fears of being accused
of interference, or fears of affecting
our regional trade and commerce
to prevent us from voicing out our
anxieties and alarm at what is hap-
pening in Rakhine state.
He said over 400,000 Rohingya,
or almost a third of their total pop-
ulation of 1.5 million in Rakhine,
have been displaced and live in
squalor in makeshift refugee camps.
Thousands more, he said, have
been murdered and dumped in rivers
engaging mobile technology to ex-
pand their business globally.
There are opportunities out
there [to embrace digital technol-
ogy], and with these opportuni-
ties comes a challenge because if
someone else takes that opportu-
nity, they could disrupt the present
business model of [SMEs that do
not embrace digital technology],
said Mandeep.
According to Bank Negara Malay-
sias Financial Stability and Payment
Systems Report 2016, usage of tra-
ditional payment methods such as
cheques has declined by 35% in the
last five years, as the tally of cheques
cleared fell from 205 million in 2011
to 133 million in 2016.
In the same period, e-payment
per capita grew to 97 transactions,
from 49 transactions in 2011.
With usage of traditional meth-
ods like cheques phasing out, Man-
deep said mobile payment is ex-
pected to gain more traction in
Malaysia.
There is also a greater need for
collaboration between stored-val-
ue card providers and the banking
system, said Mandeep.

day, dozens, if not hundreds of them,
die due to a lack of food and medical
supplies, or drown when their boats
sink as they flee their country.
He also highlighted other mass
murders that took place throughout
history, like in Rwanda, Palestine
and Darfur, as well as The Holocaust
that spread throughout central and
eastern Europe.
Do we not all sometimes won-
der whether we could have done
Stored-value cards and the
banking industry need to work to-
gether to make transactions much
more seamless [for users]. As of
now, [most] stored-value cards tend
to operate in silo [whereby] you
can make a payment for a trans-
action via [online] banking or via a
stored-value card. We think this is
an area that can [be further devel-
oped] in Malaysia, he said.
Local stored-value card service
provider Touch n Go, which is pri-
marily used for highway toll pay-
ment and parking now, is working
on expanding its services.
In July this year, the subsidiary
of banking group CIMB Group
Holdings Bhd inked an equity joint
venture with Alipay, a subsidiary
of Ant Financial Services Group,
to launch a new mobile e-wallet
platform for payment and other re-
lated financial services in Malaysia.
The merger of the e-commerce
space and the mobile wallet, with
players such as Alipay and Sam-
sung Pay coming in, is an area that
is becoming relevant in Malaysia,
and other markets as well, said
Mandeep.

KUALA LUMPUR: UEM Sunrise
Bhd expects Malaysias proper-

premium segment, to recover from

on improving income growth and
a better mix of real estate products.
We are hoping to see recov-

Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib. We
are still seeing demand for pre-
mium property products.
The market is there provided
it is at the right location with [a]
strong value proposition, he told
reporters on the sidelines of the
Khazanah Megatrends Forum
2017 yesterday.
Describing the current prop-
erty market as cautious, Anwar
Syahrin said this is evident by
consumers weighing their op-
tions very carefully to purchase
big-ticket items.
Referring to the upcoming
Budget 2018, he said UEM Sun-

this was bought by Sultan Nazrin.
In all, we raised more than
RM1.2 million in a few hours after
The Edge Malaysia weekly pub-
lished a four-page special feature
with a listing of the paintings,
said Kalimullah. We would have
received more donations, but we
had agreed to a cut-off time once
we reached our target of raising
one million ringgit.
Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood,
under secretarygeneral for part-

The contributions from the do-

ing material costs following the
implementation of the goods and
services tax in April 2016.
Basically, property develop-
ers are asking for anything that
can drive real estate development
cost down, he said.
On affordable housing, Anwar
Syahrin said it has always been
an issue.
The issue of affordable hous-
ing ties back to land cost. The
price of a house is always driv-
en by the land price, and that
is always a tricky issue as land
acquisition cost is high, he said.
Bank Negara Malaysia in its 2016
annual report described houses
in Kuala Lumpur, Terengganu,
Penang and Sabah as severely
unaffordable. The central bank
said houses in most states were
generally unaffordable for house-
holds earning the median income.
According to a study by Khaz-
anah Research Institute pub-
lished in 2015, there were warning
signs that housing affordability in
Malaysia, particularly for low-
er-income households, would
worsen if left unchecked.

FMM urges SMEs to
take ethics cue from
bigger companies
This will serve to create long-term growth and sustainability
BY A D EL A MEGA N WI L LY
KUALA LUMPUR: Small and medi-
um enterprises (SMEs) have been
urged to take a cue from bigger
companies on running an ethical
organisation, to create long-term
growth and sustainability.
Speaking to reporters during
its Business Ethics and Integrity:
Key to Sustainability in the Digi-
tal Economy seminar yesterday,
Federation of Malaysian Manu-
facturers (FMM) president Tan Sri
Lim Wee Chai said while society in
general recognises the importance
of practising good business ethics,
not many companies, especially
SMEs, are able to grasp this.
Honesty, integrity and trans-
parency are very important in any
organisation and are the reason
why multinationals and other big
companies can survive for so long.
Its because they have built a good
foundation. If the foundation is rot-
ten, the organisation will only go
down, said Lim, who is also chair-
man of the worlds largest rubber
glove maker, Top Glove Corp Bhd.
Many people know this is im-

as to build hangars and an office
building.
Comendador also said BDO Cap-

ital is a wholly-owned unit of BDO

PAAs IPO, postponed sever-
al times in the past to allow for its
expansion, is in line with AirAsia
how to implement better business
ethics and practices that they need
to have on a daily basis.
FMM council member and
chairman of its ethical business
practices committee Alois Hofbauer
advises SMEs against taking short-
cuts in pursuit of success as it may
go against certain business ethics
that would lead to loss of trust and
competitive advantage.

I believe if you live by values,
and when people recognise that,
you have a huge competitive ad-
vantage, because people simply
want to buy products from or work
with companies that they trust and
have values appreciated [by them],
he said.
For SMEs, specifically, there is
always a risk of taking shortcuts.
However, when you do so, you may

The purchase consideration
and the expenses relating to the

hypermarkets lease for 30 years
on a triple net lease arrangement.
A triple net lease is a lease
agreement on a property where

lion) so far this year, closing in
on the all-time high of US$51.6
billion in 2012, according to data
compiled by Bloomberg. CIMB
Islamic Bank Bhd, which has
arranged the most Islamic note

Fakrizzaki Ghazali, head of

Jeddah, said he was forecasting
total sales of US$55 billion to
US$60 billion for 2017. Supply

able in 2018, but issuance may

Islamic bonds use a variety
of structures to link returns to
assets to comply with the re-
ligions ban on interest. The
securities were pioneered in
Malaysia in the 1980s and in
recent years their popularity
has seen them spread beyond
Muslim-majority countries with
the UK and Luxembourg selling

around two-thirds of worldwide
sales this year, said Angus

is forecasting full-year

Singapore. More importantly is,

Malaysian billionaire Quek Leng

Nor, as broker Cushman & Wakefield
notes, did other prominent Singa-
pore builders like CapitaLand Ltd or
Keppel Corp. The lone Singaporean
bid, by brothers Robert and Philip
Ngs Far East Organization Pte Ltd,
was also the lowest at S$1.295 billion.

Saudi sovereign
fund to develop
holy sites in
Makkah, Medina
BY S T E PH E N K A L IN
RIYADH: Saudi Arabias Public In-
vestment Fund (PIF) is forming two
real estate development firms to
boost the capacity of Makkah and
Medina to receive pilgrims, in pro-
jects expected to create billions of
dollars of business, it said on Mon-
day. The plans are part of an array
of commitments which the PIF, the
countrys main sovereign wealth
fund, is taking on under economic
reforms designed to reduce Saudi
Arabias dependence on oil exports.
The government is mobilising the
fund, believed to have about US$180
billion (RM763.2 billion) of assets, to
lead urban development and indus-
trial projects around the country, even
as the PIF manages stakes in top Saudi
companies and makes foreign invest-
ments such as last years purchase of a
US$3.5 billion stake in Uber. The scope
of PIFs activities has caused concern
among some private Saudi business-
men. The reforms aim to stimulate the
private sector but with so many huge
projects going to the PIF, some busi-
nessmen fear they could be crowded
out by the deep-pocketed fund.
The PIF said the first phase of its
development of an area near the
Grand Mosque in Makkah would
cover 854,000sq m and deliver 115
buildings. It is to include 70,000 new
hotel rooms and 9,000 housing units.
Construction will start this year with
the first phase expected to open in
2024. By 2030, the area will contrib-
ute US$2.1 billion annually to gross
domestic product, the fund said. It
also plans to develop 1.3 million
sq m near the Prophets Mosque in
Medina, adding 500 housing units
and 80,000 hotel rooms. Expanding
Islamic tourism is a top goal of Sau-
di reforms, which seek to develop
non-oil income to offset a plunge in
prices. The PIF did not reveal how
would award contracts, or the extent
to which private investors would be
brought in. Reuters

he market fell for two
consecutive weeks on
a lack of catalysts and
bearish regional mar-
ket performances. Fall-
ing commodity prices
and a weaker ringgit dampened
market sentiment. The FBM KLCI
fell 0.9% in a week to 1,755.58 points
last Friday. Yesterday, the index
rebounded and closed at 1,759.67
points.
Market volume slightly declined
last week. The average daily trad-
ing volume last week fell to 2.7 bil-
lion shares from 2.8 billion shares
two weeks ago. The average daily
trading value fell sharply to RM2.5
billion from RM2.9 billion. This
showed that more lower-capped
counters, which are normally fa-
voured by retail market partici-
pants, were being traded.
Foreign investors confidence
was stifled by the weaker ringgit.
Foreign institutions continued to sell
and last week, it was more intense.
Net selling from foreign institutions
last week was RM967 million, while
net buying from local institutions

SHAH ALAM: Blood, vomit,
and saliva had oozed from
the mouth of Kim Chol or
Kim Jong-nam, estranged
half-brother of North Korean
strongman Kim Jong-un, while
he underwent treatment at a
medical clinic, the High Court
was told yesterday.
Dr Nik Mohd Adzrul Ariff
Raja Azlan, a doctor at the Me-
nara Medical Clinic in Kuala
Lumpur International Airport
2 (klia2), said the mixture of
liquids inside the mouth had
blocked his view when search-
ing for the trachea opening.
So, we had to suck out the
liquid first before proceeding with
the intubation procedure, he said
when testifying at the trial of Indo-
nesian Siti Aisyah, 25, and Doan
Thi Huong, 28, from Vietnam, who
were charged with four others still
at large, with the murder of Jong-
nam, 45, at the klia2 departure hall
at 9am on Feb 13 this year.
To a question by deputy pub-
lic prosecutor Wan Shaharud-
din Wan Ladin, the doctor said
after intubation, the patients
blood pressure improved.
So, the patient was stabi-
lised but we needed to transfer
the patient to a hospital with an
ICU (intensive care unit) set-
ting, he testified before High
Court Judge Datuk Azmi Ariffin.
He said prior to treatment,
the patients blood pressure
had suddenly dropped to a very
low reading from 220/109 to
70/40, and that he had to give
atropine and adrenaline to fur-
ther improve his condition.
Nik Mohd Adzrul Ariff said
Jong-nam suffered a seizure
when he was sent to the clin-
ic and was clutching his head.
The trial continues today.

Former actor
detained over
housing scam
KUALA LUMPUR: A former
actor with a Datuk title is
among three suspects detained
to assist in the investigation
into fraudulent house sales in-
volving losses of up to RM6.2
million.
Bukit Aman Commercial
Crime Investigation Depart-
ment (JSJK) director Datuk Seri
Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said
the Datuk, detained in Am-
pang on Monday, was a real
estate companys managing
director.
The JSJK has received 188
police reports concerning the
fraudulent house sales carried
out by the company and an-
other company that offered
houses to the buyers at a much
cheaper price than the market
price, at about RM60,000 for a
1,650sq-ft bungalow.
Oers of schemes
that dier from
the normal ones
should be studied
in detail.
However, after payment
was made, construction of the
houses had not been carried
out, he said in a statement
yesterday.
He said the other two sus-
pects, aged 29 and 45, detained
in Setapak on Monday, were
owners of the other company
suspected of being involved
in the scam. All the suspects
are now detained for two days
beginning today (yesterday) to
assist in the investigation un-
der Section 420 of the Penal
Code, he said.
Acryl Sani advises the pub-
lic to always be wary of and
not be duped by excessive of-
fers made by any individual or
company.
He points out that offers
of schemes that differ from
the normal ones should be
studied in detail and referred
to more knowledgeable agen-
cies to avoid becoming vic-
tims of fraudulent acts.

The sovereign state still reigns supreme

As such are the UNs sustainable development goals achievable?
BY A N D REW SH EN G & XI AO GENG constraints, and emerging mar- ic and authoritarian governance groups, classes, sectors, and regions them will require far more responsible

U
S President Don-
ald Trumps recent
speech at the UN
has got a lot of at-
tention for its bi-
zarre and bellicose
rhetoric, including threats to dis-
mantle the Iran nuclear deal and
totally destroy North Korea. Un-
derlying his declarations was a clear
message: the sovereign state still
reigns supreme, with national in-
terests overshadowing shared ob-
jectives. This does not bode well
for the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG).
Adopted by the UN just a year
before Trumps election, the SDGs
will require that countries cooper-
ate on crucial global targets related
to climate change, poverty, public
health, and much else. In an age of
contempt for international cooper-
ation, not to mention entrenched
climate-change denial in the Trump
administration, is achieving the
SDGs wishful thinking?
The SDGs were always bound to
meet strong headwinds, owing to
technological disruption, geopolitical
rivalry, and widening social inequal-
ity. But populist calls for nationalist
policies, including trade protection-
ism, have intensified those headwinds
considerably. Simply put, populations
are losing faith that the global de-
velopment orthodoxy of good gov-
ernance (including monetary and
fiscal discipline) and free markets
can benefit them.
With all of the advanced coun-
tries confronting serious fiscal
kets weakened by lower commod-
ity prices, paying for global public
goods has become all the more un-
appealing. Budget cuts together
with accountability issues and new
technological challenges are also
hurting those tasked with deliver-
ing good governance. And markets
increasingly seem to be captured
by vested interests.
Economic outcomes often have
their origins in politics. Harvard
Law Schools Roberto Unger has
argued that overcoming the chal-
lenges of knowledge-based devel-
opment will demand inclusive
vanguardism. The democratisation
of the market economy, he says, is
possible only with a corresponding
deepening of democratic politics,
which implies the institutional re-
construction of the market itself.
Yet, in the US, the political sys-
tem seems unlikely to produce such
a reconstruction. Harvard Busi-
ness School professors Katherine
Gehl and Michael Porter argue that
Americas two-party system has
become the major barrier to solving
nearly every important challenge
facing the country.
Political leaders, Gehl and Por-
ter continue, compete on ideology
and unrealistic promises, not on ac-
tion and results, and divide voters
and serve special interests all
while facing little accountability.
A forthcoming book by University
of San Francisco professor Shalen-
dra Sharma corroborates this view.
Comparing economic inequality
in China, India, and the US, Shar-
ma argues that both democrat-
have failed to promote equitable
development.
There are four potential combi-
nations of outcomes for countries:
(1) good governance and good eco-
nomic policies; (2) good politics
and bad economics; (3) bad poli-
tics and good economics; and (4)
bad politics and bad economics.
Other things being equal, there is
only a one-in-four chance of arriv-
ing at a win-win situation of good
governance and strong economic
performance. That chance is dimin-
ished further by other disruptions,
from natural disasters to external
interference.
There are those who believe
that technology will help to over-
come such disruptions, by spur-
ring enough growth to generate
the resources needed to mitigate
their impact. But while technology
is consumer-friendly, it produces
its own considerable costs.
Technology kills jobs in the
short term and demands
reskilling of the labour force.
Moreover, knowledge-inten-
sive technology has a win-
ner-take-all network effect,
whereby hubs seize access
to knowledge and power,
leaving less-privileged

the challenges of

development will

struggling to compete.
Thanks to social media, the re-
sulting discontent now spreads fast-
er than ever, leading to destructive
politics. This can invite geopolitical
interference, which quickly dete-
riorates into a lose-lose scenario,
like that already apparent in wa-
ter-stressed and conflict-affected
countries, where governments are
fragile or failing.
The combination of bad politics
and economics in one country can
easily produce contagion, as rising
migration spreads political stress
and instability to other countries.
According to the UN High Com-
mission for Refugees, there were
65 million refugees last year, com-
pared to just 1.6 million in 1960.
Given the endurance of geopolitical
conflict, not to mention the rapidly
growing impact of climate change,
migration levels are not expected
to decline anytime soon.
The SDGs aim to re-
lieve these pressures,
by protecting the en-
vironment and im-
proving the lives
of people within
their home coun-
tries. But achieving
politics and a much stronger social
consensus. And that will require a
fundamental shift in mindset, from
one of competition to one that em-
phasises cooperation.
Just as we have no global tax
mechanism to ensure the provision
of global public goods, we have no
global monetary or welfare policies
to maintain price stability and so-
cial peace. That is why multilateral
institutions need to be upgraded
and restructured, with effective
decision-making and implemen-
tation mechanisms for managing
global development challenges
such as infrastructure gaps, migra-
tion, climate change, and financial
instability. Such a system would
go a long way toward supporting
progress toward the SDGs.
Unger argues that all of todays
democracies are flawed, low-en-
ergy democracies, in which no
trauma in the form of economic
ruin or military conflict means
no transformation. He is right.
In this environment, reflected in
Trumps embrace of the antiquated
Westphalian model of nation-states,
achieving the SDGs will probably
be impossible. Project Syndicate

Japanese struggle to hire, retain staff as shortage worsens

BY SA M NU SSEY
COMPANIES in Japans service
industries are struggling to hire
and retain staff as the labour mar-
ket becomes the tightest in dec-
ades, and are increasingly taking
unorthodox steps to alleviate the
shortage.
That can include looking to
housewives and the retired to
come into or rejoin the labour
force.
Japans jobless rate stood at a
23-year low of 2.8% in August, re-
flecting a strengthening economy
and shrinking working-age popu-
lation in a rapidly ageing society.
And on Monday, the Bank of
Japans tankan quarterly survey
showed that the ratio of companies
complaining of labour shortages,
rather than excess staff, was at its
highest level since 1992.
The labour squeeze can reduce
the speed of economic develop-
ment, and even curb some eco-
nomic activity altogether, hurting
Japans chances of a period of sus-
tainable growth.

MUMBAI/HONG KONG: In-

ed to keep its benchmark rate

amid slowing growth in Asias
third-largest economy.
With inflation climbing fast
toward the Reserve Bank of In-
dias (RBI) medium-term target,
the US Federal Reserve starting
to shrink its balance sheet and
growing speculation that the
government may loosen purse
strings to bolster the economy,
the room for lowering rates in
the coming months is narrowing.
Nevertheless, the RBI is
expected to paint a subdued
picture of the economy and
could downgrade its forecasts
for gross value added a key
input of gross domestic prod-
uct that strips out taxes and
subsidies for the rest of the
year. That could prove to be bad
news for India and might hurt
inflows from foreign investors,
who are already pulling out
money from Indian assets. This
has seen the rupee hit a six-
month low last week.
A survey of economists con-
ducted by Bloomberg showed
the RBI is expected to hold the
repurchase rate at 6% until end-
2017. A separate survey forecast

At least 59% of the space at Century Square has already been taken up.
Repositioning of suburban malls
AsiaMalls assets are being revamped and refreshed as community malls to meet neighbourhood needs
BY L I N ZH I Q I N
A
siaMalls Management, proper-
ty manager of Pramerica Asia
Retail Funds portfolio of six
suburban malls and an office
tower in Singapore, has been
busy with asset enhancement
works. The latest is Century Square, which
was closed in September for a S$60 million
(RM186.62 million) makeover.
More than 40 schemes for Century
Square were considered over a two-year
period before AsiaMalls embarked on the
asset enhancement initiative (AEI), says
Tan Kee Yong, managing director of Asia-
Malls Management.
Century Square is one of three malls in
Tampines Central, and this is its first major
AEI since it opened in 1995. Prior to its clo-
sure, the 199,641 sq ft mall had 125 shops.
When it reopens in 2H18, it will have a new
faade and layout with 218 retail outlets.
Previous anchor tenants such as BHG de-
partment store, NTUC Fairprice Finest su-
permarket and Century Cineplex will be
moving out.
New tenant mix
In their place will be new tenants such as
lifestyle grocer Mahota Market and a restau-
rant where shoppers can have their groceries
cooked on the spot; FilmGarde Cineplex;
childcare service operator Orange Academy;
and The Learning Lab enrichment centre.
There will also be a 24-hour gym operated
by Gymmboxx.
AsiaMalls has partnered the National
Library Board to set up a digital library at
Century Square, where people can browse
and borrow eBooks.
F&B outlets will take up 30% of the net
lettable space at Century Square. AsiaMalls
is exploring new F&B concepts such as a
24-hour vending machine caf. The malls
existing tenant Food Junction will return
with a new brand, The Food Market by

of concept stalls and digital pay-
ment for the convenience of din-
ers. Popular hotpot restaurant
operator Hai Di Lao is set to open
its second restaurant in the east
at Century Square, following its
first at CapitaLand Mall Trusts

Century Square is already 59%

conducted surveys with shoppers and resi-
dents in the Tampines area to better under-
stand their needs. We want to provide a better
experience for visitors to our mall, he says.
Century Square will showcase AsiaMalls
concepts for omnichannel retail, which
bridges the divide between bricks-and-mor-
tar and e-commerce, continues Tan. There
will be shoppable walls, which are screens
that will allow shoppers to access retail of-
ferings that are not physically in the mall.
AsiaMalls is also looking at how the plat-
form can be used to help its bricks-and-
mortar tenants enter the e-com-
merce market. This could be an
extra revenue source for our
tenants, says Tan.
Besides Century Square,
Pramerica Asia Retail Fund has
another mall in Tampines Cen-
tral Tampines 1. Other malls
in the portfolio are Hougang
Mall on Hougang Avenue 10;
Liang Court on River Valley Road;

building, and the adjacent

building have a total net lettable area of 1.5
million sq ft and is valued at S$2.7 billion.
Rise in shopper trac post-asset
enhancements
Century Square is the third mall in AsiaMalls
portfolio to undergo a major AEI. Tiong
Bahru Plaza reopened in March 2016 after
a facelift that cost more than S$90 million.
The revamp increased its gross floor area
(GFA) to 215,000 sq ft, from 190,000 sq ft. New
community spaces such as an open terrace
on Level Four and a plaza, which caters for
events such as flea markets or performanc-
es, were introduced. The number of retail
outlets was increased to 155, from 150, and
more than 30% of the tenants were new to
the mall, according to AsiaMalls.
The S$40 million revamp of White Sands
in Pasir Ris was completed in May 2016. It
reopened with a new faade and 57 new
tenants. The Pasir Ris Public Library, located
on Level 4 of White Sands, reopened with
a new space for young adults called Teens
Mezzanine.
On Level 2 of White Sands is G Military, a
shop that sells military and camping goods.
According to Tan, army boys heading to and
from Pulau Tekong, along with their families,
make up a substantial proportion of visitors
to White Sands. The choice of G Military as
a tenant therefore hits the spot in serving
the community of army boys, he says.

Vacancy rate of the six malls managed by AsiaMalls is below 2%

FROM PR EV I O U S PAG E
According to Tan, Tiong Bahru Plaza and
White Sands saw a double-digit percentage
jump in shopper traffic, following their
AEIs. Its still trending upwards, he adds.
Tan says the vacancy rate of the six malls
managed by AsiaMalls is below 2% much
lower than the average vacancy rate of 8.1%
for retail space across Singapore, according
to URA data as at 2Q17. It is the highest level
since 3Q16, when it was 8.4%.
Meanwhile, shoppers spending slipped
5% between the recent peak in 2013 and
2016, according to the Department of Sta-

Bain Capital
has advantage
over WPP in
Japanese
ad-land spat
BY Q U E N TI N WEB B
HONG KONG: In a Japanese
ad-land spat, Bain Capital has
the advantage. On Monday,
the US buyout firm unveiled
a 152 billion (RM5.7 billion)
deal to privatise Asatsu-DK
(ADK), Japans third-largest
advertising agency. This gives
ADKs bosses a way to escape
a disappointing 1998 tie-up
with Britains WPP.
The situation is unusual,
and not just because ADK has
an odd sideline in anime pro-
duction, including Doraemon,
a time-travelling robot cat re-
vered by Asian children. Jap-
anese corporations are fond
of alliances, frequently sealed
with hefty cross-sharehold-
ings. But it is rarer to see these
abandoned, even if they con-
sistently under-deliver, as this
one has.
ADK owns WPP stock worth
some 65 billion, a big chunk
of its own overall value. But the
two firms have failed to agree
on how to tackle rapid indus-
try change, and ADK wants the
freedom to work with a wider
range of partners.
At 3,660 a share, the tender
offer represents a premium
of about 15% to ADKs share
price before the news started
to leak. That is a fairly slim
markup, and a source close to
WPP told Reuters that Bains
offer significantly undervalues
ADK. Yesterday, ADK shares
duly leapt above the tender
price, indicating hopes for a
sweeter offer or a counter-bid.
That may be optimistic. To
be sure, WPP owns nearly 25%
of ADK. If it refused to ten-
der, and another 8% or so of
shareholders also held out,
Bain would fall short of the
two-thirds needed for a full
takeover.
But the original tie-up con-
tract precludes WPP from
making its own bid. Mean-
while, Bains tender is only
conditional on securing 50.1%,
so it could theoretically obtain
control and still leave ADK list-
ed. Time is on Bains side. By
dissolving the duos pact, as
ADK said it has the right to do
now, it can force WPP to sell
its stake, either through a buy-
back or later via an open-mar-
ket sale.
As for valuation, Bains offer
touts an eye-popping multiple
of nearly 19 times last years
earnings before interest, tax-
es, depreciation and amorti-
sation. That ignores the value
of ADKs WPP shares, but the
offer price still looks pretty full,
given analysts targets average
2,738 per share, according to
Eikon. So outside sharehold-
ers may well be happy to sell
now. Reuters

Shell said to seek sale of stake in
US$1.4b wind farm projects
BY ANNA HIRTENSTEIN
LONDON: Royal Dutch Shell plc
and its partners Eneco Holdings NV
and Mitsubishi Corp are seeking to
sell a stake in two Dutch offshore
wind farm projects that may cost
US$1.4 billion (RM5.94 billion) to
develop, two people familiar with

The companies are looking to re-

III and IV wind farms by as much as
45%, according to the people who
asked not to be named because they
are not authorised to speak about it
publicly. The fourth partner, infra-
structure contractor Van Oord NV,
is keeping its share of the project.
The move would allow the com-

the cash in new projects with the
potential for higher returns. Shell

This is part of a planned assess-

Australia offers gun-reform help
It is ready to share with the US its experience in clampdown on firearms
BY M A RTI N PA RRY
SYDNEY: Australia offered to help
the US reform its gun laws yester-
day after a successful two-decade
clampdown on firearms in the wake
of its own worst mass shooting.
The US is reeling after at least 59
people were killed and more than
500 injured when retired account-
Vegas gunman a retired accountant, gambler
LAS VEGAS: Stephen Craig Pad-
dock, the retired accountant who
smuggled an arsenal into a swank
Las Vegas hotel and mowed down
concertgoers from a 32nd-storey
window, was a high-stakes gam-
bler whose bank-robber father
was once on the Federal Bureau
of Investigations (FBI) most want-
ed list.
The 64-year-old had a home
with his girlfriend in a tranquil golf
course retirement community in
Mesquite, Nevada, 130km north-
east of the US gambling capital,
and regularly sent cookies to his
90-year-old mother in Florida.
According to his younger broth-
er Eric Paddock, he showed no sign
he was poised to commit one of
the worst mass murders in Amer-
ican history.
The Islamic State (IS) group
claimed Stephen was one of its
soldiers, converting to Islam in
recent months and carrying out
the attack in its name. IS gave
him a jihadist nom de guerre,
Abu Abdel Bar al-Amriki The
American.
But the FBI said it saw no con-
nection between Stephen and in-
ternational terror groups, leaving
a stunned nation at a loss to un-

Las Vegas tragedy strikes a US accustomed to outrage
BY TO M BU ERKL E
NEW YORK: Casino stocks fell and
gunmakers jumped after the worst
shooting in US history left at least 58
dead. Horrific as it is, the incident
is unlikely to leave a lasting impact
on gun laws, markets, political de-
bate or voters minds.
The attack on concertgoers in Las
Vegas on Sunday, described by Pres-
ident Donald Trump as an act of
pure evil, produced muted respons-
es from investors. Thats partly be-
cause tourists and consumers have
proved fairly resilient following vio-
lence in other cities like Manchester
and Paris, but also because such in-
cidents have become depressingly
familiar. Shares in MGM Resorts,
owner of the Mandalay Bay from
which the shooter fired, fell slightly.
Live Nation, promoter of the Route
91 Harvest country-music festival
ant Stephen Paddock opened fire
on thousands of concertgoers in
Las Vegas before killing himself.
The shocking tragedy has
sparked renewed calls for weap-
ons control, a sensitive subject in
a country where the pro-gun lobby
the National Rifle Association
is a powerful political force.
What we can offer is our expe-
day night massacre, which left at
least 58 people dead and more
than 500 injured.
Stephen was found dead, ap-
parently of a self-inflicted gun-
shot wound, when a police Special
Weapons And Tactics team burst
into his room at the Mandalay Bay
Hotel, one of Las Vegass most rec-
ognisable landmarks.
He had nothing to do with any
political organisation, religious or-
ganisation, no white supremacists,
nothing, as far as I know. And Ive
only known him for 57 years, Eric
said outside his Orlando, Florida
home.
Were still just completely be-
fuddled, dumbstruck, he added.
Its like I just said, an asteroid fell
out of the sky.
High-stakes video-poker player
The gunman, who photographs
showed as a greying man with a
trimmed beard and moustache,
was a former accountant and a
licensed private pilot.
According to Eric, his brother
was financially well off, and had
no criminal record. He doesnt
even have parking tickets, proba-
bly, he said.
He owned two houses in Ne-
vada, one a two-storey home in a
where the shooting occurred, was
down nearly 2%.
Sin City is vulnerable to a drop
in tourism, but that too might prove
fleeting. Orlando suffered no evi-
dent fall-off after last years mass
shooting at a gay nightclub. Attend-
ance at Walt Disney World dipped
by a fraction of a per cent last year
but Universal Studios two Orlan-
do parks were up 5%, according
to data from industry association
TEA-AECOM.
Public stoicism is admirable.
The near-impossibility of consid-
ering any political action to stem
such slaughters is not. True, the Las
Vegas shooting may doom the so-
called SHARE bill, which would en-
courage shooting on federal lands
and ease restrictions on sales of gun
silencers. But it is hard to see this
tragedy lead to tougher gun laws
when earlier shootings of mem-
rience, Australian Foreign Min-
ister Julie Bishop said yesterday,
pointing to a 1996 gun buy-back
and ban on semi-automatic and
automatic weapons.
But at the end of the day its
going to be up to the United States
legislators and lawmakers, and the
United States public, to change the
laws to ensure this type of incident

of the homes, both very recently

million).
At both he was seen with a
regular companion identified as
Marilou Danley, a 62-year-old
Asian woman who was out of the
country at the time of the shoot-
ing. The FBI has tracked her down
and says she is cooperating with it.
Neighbours in Mesquite and
Reno called him quiet, sometimes
grumpy, but mostly keeping to
himself, according to The Wash-
ington Post.
He was also a regular gambler.
He mostly played high-stakes video
poker, often thousands of dollars
at a time.
He sends me a text that says
he won US$250,000 at the casino,
Eric said.
But what police found at his
Mandalay Bay Hotel room after
the horrifying massacre was not
money but at least 16 weapons,
including assault rifles. And they
later found more weapons and
explosives at the Mesquite home.
Stephen is said to have had two
bers of Congress and elementa-
ry-school students at Sandy Hook
in Connecticut in 2012 did not.
Gun sales have been falling since
the country elected a staunch de-
fender of the National Rifle Asso-
ciation as its president, suggesting
aficionados see no need to rush
into purchases for fear of tighter
rules on ownership.
A country as deeply divided as
the US will find it hard to mount
a response to the kind of horrors
that just took place in Las Vegas.
But the inability of such events to
force change just adds an extra di-
mension to their tragedy. Reuters

NEW YORK: The grim predictability
of stock-market reactions to US mass
shootings where before a final tally
of casualties can be reached, shares
in gunmakers rise continued on
Monday in the wake of a Las Vegas at-
tack that killed at least 58 and wound-
ed more than 500. Historically, gun
stocks have experienced a bump after
a mass shooting for reasons both po-
litical and emotional. Gun sales typi-
cally rise over concerns that a deadly
event could lead to more stringent
gun-control legislation.
As news of the attack spread, fire-
arm-related stocks began to rise. Olin

munition, rose almost 7%. Ameri-
can Outdoor Brands Corp, formerly
Smith & Wesson Holding Corp, was
up about 3%, and Sturm Ruger &

Cuban embassy staff

Move follows attacks on health of American personnel
BY PAT R I C I A ZENGERL E

WASHINGTON: The Trump ad-

nel to leave the US after months
of mysterious attacks that have
damaged the health of American

The US State Department was

on Monday.

Cuba by more than half as it warned
US citizens not to visit because of un-

The latest plan was first reported
by The Miami Herald, which cited a

T
he snake. Enigmatic. Seduc-
tive. Spellbinding. Through-
out history, this creature has
captured the imagination of
mankind. With its fascinat-
ing ability to renew itself by
shedding its skin, remain in contact with
the earth while rising above it, sinuously
coil itself up or strike and defeat its pred-
ators, the serpent has become a symbol of
rebirth and transformation. Serving as a
muse, it has charmed artists throughout
the centuries while adding to the nar-
rative of numerous myths and legends
across time.
The serpent is the subject of Bulgaris
SERPENTIformexhibition, organised by
Bulgaribrand and heritage curator Lu-
cia Boscaini together with the maisons
brand heritage department. Held at the
ArtScience Museum in Singapore until
Oct 15, the exhibition is a stunning display
of how serpentine symbols have, over the
course of history, inspired art, design, fash-
ion, photography and, of course, jewellery.
It was in the 1940s that Bulgari first
captured the expressive power of such
an evocative symbol, reinterpreting it
for the first time in bracelet watches that
over the decades established themselves
bold creativity.
For the SERPENTIformexhibition,
which debuted in Rome last year, Boscaini
and her team delved deep into the brands
archives as well as private collections to
find heritage Serpenti creations ranging
from the more stylised early models made
with the Tubogas technique to more real-
istic ones with gold scales or enamelled
in many colours. These are showcased
alongside creations specially designed
for this years exhibition.
Also included in this immersive ex-
hibition are modern and contemporary
artworks by the likes of Joan Mir, Marc
Chagall, Alexander Calder, Keith Haring,
Niki de Saint Phalle, Joana Vasconcelos
and Heri Dono, as well as original photo-
graphic masterpieces from Robert Map-
plethorpe and Peter Hujar. There are also
antiquities, vintage dresses by top Italian
fashion designers, theatre and movie cos-
tumes, and other design objects evoking
the reptilian inspiration.
My team had to go through the lives
and collections of hundreds of artists
from many countries to put together an
exhibition that celebrates this universal
symbol, says Jean-Christophe Babin,
chief executive officer (CEO) of Bulgari.
He was in town for the opening of the
Academy Award-winning Swedish actress
and Bulgari ambassador Alicia Vikander.
The Singapore showcase is the first
global stop after Rome and, like its name-
sake inspiration, has evolved and trans-
formed since. For starters, the exhibition
space has more than tripled in size to
1,500 sq m currently. Also, only a small
percentage of the original pieces from
the Roman exhibition, which centred
on Greece, Egypt and Italy, were brought
here. The Singapore installation features
more eastern expressions of the snake,
with additional pieces procured from
Japan, Indonesia and China, as well as
from Australia and the US.
From here, the exhibition will evolve
further when it travels to Japan next.
We really want this exhibition to be a
new chapter. We dont want it to just be
a copy and paste. So, some of the pieces
in Singapore will go to Japan while some
will go back to Rome or their owners,
says Paris-born Babin. It is very excit-
ing if its an evolution and it would be
very boring, even internally for us, if the
same exhibition just moves from one
country to another [unchanged]. As we
discover a lot about the snake [through
coordinating the exhibition], this in turn

interesting; our creative team from Rome

to discover art but also be inspired by what
we see, so that in one day, one month, or
10 years, this also impacts the future Bul-

Options chatted with Babin on his plans
for the 133-year-old luxury brand. Follow-
ing are excerpts from the interview.
In terms of business, which are your
strongest markets today? y?
If I think about the growthh rate, obviously,
China is one, and Singapore ore is doing very
well this year. But I wouldd say the UK and
Spain are doing incredibly ly well. We have
very good results in North rth
h America. We
have seen the published results of
a lot of luxury brands, some
ome up
and others down. Today, y, more
than ever, its difficult to talk
about luxury in general terms.
Some brands do a better er job,
some occasionally do a lesser
job; the driver is more thee brands
creativity and consistencyncy rather than
the luxury market itself. And the luxury
market is very fragmented ed as well. Even
in a down cycle [which is not the case this
year], some brands manage age to grow while
others are suffering.
Which are the best-performing
orming product
categories within the Bulgari
l i Group?
G ?
For us, jewellery is very high performing,
but its not because jewellery is perform-
ing well globally. Its back
ck to my initial
observation on brands that hat get it right
while some may get it wrongong sometimes.
Its much more about the brand creativity,
brand craftsmanship and brand daring-
ness, but also the brand consistency: to
carve your own development ent and success.
Your success wont come from a big wave
that is just rolling you.
How does Bulgari deal with th competition
or overcome challenges in n todays retail
environment?
Competition is interesting. ng. Its always
good to have a bigger competitor
petitor be-
cause it opens your mind .... that
perhaps, tomorrow, you can an
be that size. But this doesnt
nt
offer you a clue about how ow
to get there, because if you ou
just copy your competition n and
follow the leader, you will ill never
surpass them; you will never ever be the
leader. If, conversely, you u take the risk
of a different angle, a diff fferent wind, a
different current thatss the only way
to eventually surpass a competitor. At
Bulgari, were sticking to our guns. We
believe very much in being larger than
life, in magnificence, in our symbols
not only the snake but B.zero1 and so on.
And so, year after year, we try to surprise
our clients and potential clients with new
and unexpected expressions of this DNA
with the symbols.
I believe Bulgari is a brand of limitless
potential just sticking to its DNA and
to the categories we are competing in:
hotels, perfumes, accessories, jewellery
and watches. Even though we are a very
famous brand often the leading brand
in each of those categories we have
marginal market share, like all our com-
petitors, because all those five businesses
are fragmented. But we have a very strong
identity, with symbols and icons that speak
very much to clients because they are so
different; at the same time, they are so
legitimate. The B.zero1, for instance, is

IOC looks to cut hosting costs
It is keen for Tokyo to reduce more expenses, set a good example for future candidates
BY C H R I S GA L L AGH ER
TOKYO: The International Olympic
Committee (IOC) is looking at var-
ious areas to cut costs for hosting
the Games including the level of
service in Olympic villages, IOC
vice-president John Coates told To-
kyo 2020 organisers yesterday.
Coates, in opening remarks be-
fore a regular project review meet-
ing, said the IOC had contacted 28
major national Olympic committees
Smaller Premier
League clubs to
argue for balance
in TV cash split
BY SI M ON EVA N S
MANCHESTER: The Premier
Leagues 20 clubs meet today
with the thorny issue of televi-
sion rights cash distribution up
for discussion as the big clubs
seek more of the revenue from
foreign deals.
The most commercially suc-
cessful league in the world cur-
rently splits its TV revenues
from international deals equal-
ly among all clubs. Last season
each club received around 39
million from overseas televi-
sion deals.
The plan, leaked to British
media, foresees 35% of the for-
eign revenue being split ac-
cording to league position
so-called merit payments.
A two-thirds majority, 14
clubs, would need to vote
for any change and while
the smaller ones have opted
not to make their opposition
public, one official noted that
Turkeys dont usually vote for
Christmas.
The issue has been simmer-
ing for years and former Liver-
pool chief executive officer Ian
Ayre has led calls for clubs to be
able to sell their foreign rights
on an individual basis which
would allow the big ones to
cash in more on their global
marketability.
That is not on the table today
but the smaller clubs fear that
ending equal payments could
lead to greater inequality down
the line.
Football finance expert Rob
Wilson of Sheffield Hallam Uni-
versity believes the relative-
ly equal distribution of reve-
nue helps make the Premier
League the most competitive
in Europe.
The British revenue, from
deals with Sky Sports and BT
Sports, is not entirely dis-
tributed on equal basis.

end of this month.
We are putting a number of
questions to those national Olym-
pic committees as to how we think
we can find savings by reducing, to
an acceptable level, the level of ser-
vice in the Olympic village, he said.
Tokyo organisers have been
working to slash costs after a study
last year warned expenses could
balloon to four times the initial es-
timate made during the bid process.
Qatari female jockey gallops
into male-dominated world
BY DAV ID HAR DING
DOHA: A Qatari woman who cre-
ated ripples by appearing on tel-
evision without a headscarf has
broken new ground as a jockey
in the conservative Gulf country,
where men usually hold the reins.
Maryam al-Subaiey has defied
expectation and tradition as well
as any fear of controversy to pur-
sue her dream of racing horses,
which even a nasty fall this year
could not crush.
I dont have to do things that
society expects from me as a wom-
an, al-Subaiey, 31, told AFP. I am
expected to be a businesswoman
and eventually get married and
have kids. She adds: But being a
female athlete, this is not something
that is considered Qatari. Its just
not expected. Its very different.
Al-Subaieys dream came true on
Feb 24 at Qatars pastoral Racing and
Equestrian Club, a green oasis on the
western fringes of the capital Doha.
There, on the undercard of an
eight-race meeting, she took to the
track for the very first time.

BY ALAN BALDW IN
LONDON: Formula One (F1) title

Vettel should both be wary of resur-
gent Red Bull after Max Verstappens
victory in Malaysia at the weekend.
While the Dutch 20-year-old and
his Australian teammate Daniel
Ricciardo are not championship
contenders, they could yet be king-
makers.
The IOC is keen for Tokyo to cut
costs further and set a good exam-
ple to attract future candidate cit-
ies, rather than scare them off with
stories of out-of-control spending.

media reports dating back to 2008
about a 14-year-old amateur riding
at the equestrian club.
But although records are not
conclusive, officials told AFP that
al-Subaiey was the first-ever Qatari
female jockey to take part in such
a ranking event.
How they fare in the remain-
ing five races may play a big part
in determining whether the driv-
ers crown ends up at Mercedes or
Ferrari, even if Hamilton looks the
clear favourite.
With the Briton now 34 points
ahead of Ferrari rival Vettel and 125
points left to be won, any further
success for Red Bull would help tilt
the title towards Hamilton unless
he suffers misfortune.

Gatlin left o shortlist
for best athlete
PARIS: Controversial world 100m
champion Justin Gatlin was left
off the list of nominees for the
IAAFs World Athlete of the Year
awards. Gatlin, who has served
two doping bans, was a surprise
winner of the 100m in London
in August as Jamaican great Us-
ain Bolt bowed out of his top-
class career with a disappoint-
ing bronze medal. When the
IAAF named on Monday its 10
male and female nominees for
the 2017 awards, Gatlins name
was conspicuous by its absence.
It is the first time since 2004
when Gatlin was also omitted
that the world or Olympic
100m champion has been left
off the list. AFP
