Westports could make it into FBM KLCI at next review: CIMB Securities

KUALA LUMPUR: Westports Holdings Bhd could replace Sime Darby Bhd in the upcoming review of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) as its market capitalisation (market cap) ranking has risen to 24th among eligible securities, surpassing the eligibility threshold of the 25th largest. The next FBM KLCI review outcome announcement is scheduled for Dec 4, and will be based on closing share prices on Nov 24. Any changes to index constituents will take effect on Dec 22. CIMB Securities noted that based on closing market data as of July 10, Westports has risen to 24th position in market cap among eligible Main Market securities. 'The company could potentially be added to the KLCI in the next review, provided it retains a ranking of 25th or higher among eligible securities as of Nov 24, the cut-off date. 'Currently, the market cap gap between Westports and Nestlé Malaysia (the 26th-ranked eligible security) stands at 6.3%. If Westports is added, we believe Sime Darby, which currently has the lowest market cap among existing KLCI constituents, could be removed to make room,' it said in a research note today. CIMB Securities noted that in addition to meeting the market cap requirement, securities must have a free float of at least 15% and pass a liquidity screening test to qualify for inclusion in the FBM KLCI. Port operator MMC Port Holdings Bhd has reportedly moved closer to what could be Malaysia's largest initial public offering in 13 years, following the submission of a draft prospectus to the Securities Commission, as published on the regulator's website. According to the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series Ground Rules, a newly listed company may qualify for inclusion in the FBM KLCI if its full market cap is at least 2% of the total market cap of the FBM Emas Index, based on the closing price on its first trading day. 'If this condition is met, the stock will be added to the KLCI at the close of its fifth trading day. As of Jul 10 2025, the FBM Emas Index market cap stands at RM1,626.6 billion, implying that an IPO with a market cap of at least RM32.53 billion would meet the fast-entry threshold,' said CIMB Securities. It added that potential changes in the FBM KLCI could spur increased interest in stocks likely to be included, driven by passive fund inflows, while stocks at risk of exclusion may face selling pressure. The FTSE and Bursa Malaysia are scheduled to release the preliminary results of the FBM KLCI review on Dec 3, via a technical notice, one day ahead of the official announcement on Dec 4. Since the last review, YTL Corporation Bhd, YTL Power International Bhd and Axiata Group Bhd have recorded the largest increases in market cap among FBM KLCI constituents. Conversely, Sime Darby, PPB Group Bhd and RHB Bank Bhd have registered the most significant declines. As of June 30, the financial services sector accounted for the largest weighting in the FBM KLCI at 41.1%, followed by the utilities sector at 17.6% and the telecommunications sector at 9.8%. – Bernama

RM1 million intervention to reduce water supply disruptions at UMS

Fadillah briefed on the water supply problem at UMS today. – Bernama photo KOTA KINABALU (July 14): The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), is committed to assisting Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) in reducing water supply disruptions via a short-term intervention plan costing RM1 million. This commitment was announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation Dato' Sri Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof during PETRA Squad's inspection at UMS today. This intervention plan will be implemented through collaboration between the Water Supply Department (JBA), PETRA and UMS. The execution is expected to directly benefit over 3,000 students, particularly those residing in Tun Mustapha Residential College and Tun Fuad Residential College, which are frequently affected by water supply disruptions. The intervention measures include: 1. Constructing a dedicated distribution pipeline to connect UMS's existing groundwater source; 2. Adding an underground water tank with an increased capacity of 0.13 million litres to boost water supply; 3. Installing automated modulating valves to stabilize water levels in UMS's service tanks. Earlier, Fadillah urged the Sabah state government to urgently address its water and electricity issues. 'Even though water and energy are state matters, we at the federal level will find ways to assist,' he said. Speaking at the PETRA Engagement Session with Sabah Media in 2025 here last night, Fadillah said the federal government, through the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, has allocated RM8.79 billion until June 2025 to implement 86 development projects in Sabah. He stated that the total allocation will be disbursed under the Fifth Rolling Plan (RP5) of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP). 'Sabah has received a fairly large allocation from the federal government … it is our commitment to resolve two key issues in Sabah: water and energy. 'Because without energy and water, there can be no economic growth in Sabah,' he said. He said the MADANI government is always striving to ensure that Sabah continues to prosper together as a big Malaysian family. Therefore, Sabah's progress is not only the responsibility of this state, but of the entire nation. 'With strong federal-state relations, we can build a more prosperous, just as well as sustainable state and country, with the support of a free and trustworthy media and a united people,' he said. The Petra Jaya member of parliament said Sabah holds immense potential, particularly in transforming its natural beauty into tourism attractions. In 2023, Sabah recorded 2.613 million tourist arrivals, with the figure projected to rise to 3.147 million in 2024. 'With more strategic planning and through the media's role in promoting Sabah, we are confident the state can attract even more tourists. 'This isn't just about tourism. Tourists bring economic benefits — they spend, stay in hotels, and eat — generating employment and boosting the local economy. 'If marketed properly, Sabah can become a world-class destination. Tourism is central to this.' Fadillah also said the engagement session was intended as a platform for the media to better understand the role of PETRA and agencies under its auspices. 'We organised this session to foster closer ties and strengthen the relationship between the media and PETRA's top management,' he added.
