50% picked property if have RM1 million

Almost 50% of the 1,211 respondents picked properties as the number one item that they would buy if they had RM1 million. For this group, they are in good company. Datuk Tony Fernandes, the group CEO of Air Asia Bhd, was once asked the same question 5 years ago by a leading Malaysian business magazine. His answer? Apart from Air Asia shares, he would definitely invest in property and unit trusts.
“With property, I feel you can never go wrong as long as you buy in the right area,” he was quoted to have said.

The rest of the results were unsurprising. With lingering reservations on the economy, not many would want to venture into a new business, nor even invest in shares, bonds, REITs, life insurance or unit trusts. Fixed deposits were the least favoured by the respondents.

Interestingly, 9% or 106 respondents expressed a desire to emigrate. Again, it’s hardly surprising given that the brain drain is still ongoing since the last few years when our economy dipped. Although, it’s on a recovery trend, some may have had enough already.

Almost 200 respondents or 17% were leery of the RM1 million figure given. And why not? With many property prices straddling the RM1 million figure, the vast majority have been priced out of choice properties in prime locations. The message is clear: Property prices are running ahead of average incomes. This group awaits Malaysia’s Transformation into a High Income Economy with bated breath.

If you have RM1 million cold cash to invest, how would you spend it?

Penjamin Juga Boleh Diisytihar Bankrap

Oleh IWAN SHU-ASWAD SHUAIB

RAKYAT Malaysia yang menjadi penjamin juga boleh diisytiharkan bankrap sekiranya terdapat perintah mahkamah terhadap peminjam utama yang gagal melunaskan hutang.Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Insolvensi Malaysia, Datuk Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil berkata, ia mungkin sukar dipercayai namun itulah hakikatnya menyebabkan banyak pihak terus mempersalahkan jabatan itu.

Menurut beliau, timbul suara tidak puas hati mengatakan Jabatan Insolvensi Malaysia bertindak zalim kerana turut memusnahkan kehidupan mereka yang tidak berhutang.“Perlu diperjelaskan bahawa kami tidak membankrapkan mereka dan sebagai penjamin, mereka sepatutnya bertanggungjawab ke atas jaminan itu.

“Jika peminjam utama gagal membayar hutang maka penjamin perlu mengambil alih tanggungjawab itu,” katanya kepada Mingguan mStar.Dari tahun 2005 sehingga Jun tahun ini, seramai 81,908 individu diisytiharkan bankrap membabitkan jumlah hutang RM71.36 bilion.

Daripada jumlah tersebut, 4.66 peratus merupakan penjamin sosial manakala penjamin korporat 5.32 peratus.

Abdul Karim berkata, isu penjamin diisytiharkan bankrap menimbulkan pelbagai reaksi dan kekecohan kerana menyifatkan tindakan itu tidak adil.Bagaimanapun katanya, kedudukan penjamin dipinda menerusi Akta Kebankrapan 1967 pada tahun 2003 telah mewujudkan perbezaan antara peminjam utama dan penjamin.

“Pindaan telah menjelaskan bahawa pemiutang tidak boleh mengenakan tindakan undang-undang terhadap penjamin secara terus kecuali boleh dibuktikan di mahkamah membabitkan hutang peminjam utama,” ujarnya.Menurut beliau, Jabatan Insolvensi Malaysia turut mempunyai budi bicara bagi membantu penjamin keluar daripada status kebankrapan dengan persetujuan pemiutang.

Tambahnya lagi, rundingan bukan saja membabitkan permohonan pelepasan kebankrapan malah jumlah bayaran hutang yang perlu dijelaskan atau dividen.Justeru, beliau menasihatkan orang ramai supaya tidak mudah menjadi penjamin dan mengambil langkah berhati-hati.

“Paling penting, kita perlu tahu kemampuan untuk menjadi penjamin, mengenali siapa yang mahu berhutang dan keupayaannya untuk membuat bayaran. “Jangan menjamin seseorang itu atas dasar kasihan kerana kesannya kelak tidak akan mengasihani kita. Buat keputusan dengan bijak,” kata Abdul Karim.

Banking loan growth remains strong: MIMB

News

Loan growth in the Malaysian banking sector remains strong, despite an increase in the base lending rate (BLR) and average lending rate (ALR) recently, according to a research house. MIMB Investment Bank said the gross banking system’s outstanding loans were higher in April this year with loans applied and loans approved, increasing compared to previously across both business and household sectors.

 

"For household loans, the demand to purchase residential property rose 10.7 per cent year on year (YoY) and that for personal use increased 19.5 per cent," it said in a research note today.Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) raised the overnight policy rate (OPR) for the second time last month by another 25 basis points to 2.5 per cent, in another move to normalise the monetary condition. The research house said the total loan in the banking system grew 10.0 per cent YoY in April this year vis-a-vis the 9.8 per cent in March.

It said the growth was in-line with its 2010 total loan growth forecast of 9.9 per cent on the back of the higher end, real gross domestic product (GDP) growth estimate of 5.9 per cent. However, MIMB did not rule out that such strong loan growth, despite the interest rate hike, could be due to an attractive loan pricing offered by banks given the underlying keen competition. "This can be seen in the narrower estimated interest spread of banks that has not improved in tandem with a higher ALR. The estimated interest spread of banks declined 17 basis points (bps) to 2.65 per cent from 2.82 per cent in Febrary 2010," it said.

On the OPR, the research house said: "It is not a surprise to see the OPR increase further as it is still at the lower-end of the historical range since end-2004." It said the average OPR was approximately at 3.0 per cent, 50 bps higher from the current level but the central bank might pause the hike due to the sovereign debt problems in Europe. MIMB said BNM is likely to maintain the OPR at the current level in the forthcoming Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting in July.
