Malaysia has extended the export tax exemption on CPO to end-Feb 2015 to
boost CPO exports and reduce inventories. We are neutral on this move as the
CPO export tax will likely stay at zero anyway given the current CPO price of
RM2,119/tonne, which is below the reference rate of RM2,250 that will trigger
the export tax. This also means that CPO will be tax-exempt for the sixth
straight month, from Sep 14 to Feb 15. We maintain our view that CPO prices
will remain rangebound at RM2,000-2,500 per tonne for the rest of the year as
well as our Neutral rating on the sector. Our preferred picks are First Resources,
Astra Agro and SIMP.

Top Actives
The TIV for November 2014 received a boost from the overwhelming success of
Perodua Axia. As a result, November’s TIV grew 2.1% yoy and 5.9% mom to
55,313 units, resulting in a YTD November 2014 TIV growth of 1.1% yoy to
601,805 units. The success of Axia is consistent with the current consumer
trend of preferring affordable cars with good fuel efficiency, driven by fuel
subsidy rationalisation and the increasing cost of living, and we believe this
trend will persist into 2015. Berjaya Auto remains our only Add call and is our
top pick for the sector, which we rate as Neutral.

Property investors and developers want clarifications from the
government on the implementation of the Anti-Profiteering Act 2011
alongside the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

They said that although the government has outlined the guidelines and
formulae for the property market, it was still unclear how the property

needing answers. (Malay Mail)
Trade associations are projecting a challenging year ahead, with many

PKR has confirmed that a political bureau meeting had been convened to
discuss the issue of hudud implementation yesterday. (Malaysiakini)
While DAP is crying foul over ally PAS's plan to go ahead with implementing
hudud in Kelantan, PKR is taking a more cautious stand by requesting to see
the draft of the proposed amendment to the state Islamic laws. With talks
gaining ground that the Islamist party's insistence to go ahead with the proposal
would lead to the opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR) coalition break-up, PKR is
treating this matter carefully. The youngest party in the coalition wants to avoid
"falling into a trap" set by its detractors who will be quick to accuse its
leadership, of which the majority are Muslims, of being "un-Islamic". (The

return," he added. (Financial Daily)
