 A wide palette for investors
rhoyba@ytlcommunity.com - 2 September 2010 12:22:22 AM
And here’s the sweet spot. According to its chief steward, Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, the group’s parent YTL Corp Bhd expects to rake in at least RM1bil a year in dividends from these various business units and by 2015, the dividend contribution is expected to double. Much of that, as Yeoh says, can be attributed to the fact that most of its subsidiaries are “maturing into their own strength”. The YTL group has seen its revenue grow steadily over the years, ballooning to more than RM16bil in the latest fiscal year. The market value of its various listed units collectively come up to a whopping RM34.3bil.
“If you want to buy YTL, we have an enterprise value of RM66bil but I won’t sell … not ever,” he says. Then, another understatement.

azlan@ytlcommunity.com - 2 September 2010 3:04:10 PM
Hundreds of pieces of wreckage have been pulled from the Atlantic Ocean in the 15 months since Air France Flight 447 inexplicably fell from the sky, but so far the doomed airliner’s flight data and safety recorders remain somewhere on the ocean floor. That has many in the aviation industry wondering if it’s time to retire the industry-standard “black box” and adopt a satellite system that streams data in real time.

 Time to reboot my wardrobe: Seventies style boot-cut trousers are making a comeback. Or are they?
farah@ytlcommunity.com - 2 September 2010 12:06:40 PM
I must have been otherwise engaged when they were handing out slender ankles, so imagine my delight upon discovering that this autumn is going to be - fanfare please - the season of the trouser! In reality, every season is the season of the trouser for me, but it’s always a bonus when the fashion gods smile on you and make you relevant again without even having to try. [more...] |

 Make a beeline for an A-line
farah@ytlcommunity.com - 1 September 2010 3:11:02 PM
There is something of the school uniform about this season's coolest skirt shape - the A-line. John Lewis' school uniform department has provided the inspiration for many a fashion designer, not least Helmut Lang, whose trusty stylist, Melanie Ward used to raid the Back to School rails for the perfect flat-front trouser. But this time it's the turn of the A-line skirt and it is precisely its uniform, utilitarian aspect that makes it such a key item. [more...] |

 Asia Alone: The Dangerous Post-Crisis Divide From America
matthew@ytlcommunity.com - 31 August 2010 11:33:35 PM
Is China ready to rule the world? Not quite yet, argues Simon S.C. Tay. Both Asia and America need to be realistic about their limitations (and both sides now have more than a few of those) and concede that the future is not a zero-sum game. If both sides are interested in prosperity, the relationship will have to be more about cooperation than competition. And if our time is in indeed witnessing the long handoff of global power from one empire to another, the smoother the transition, the better. [more...] |
