AS1M allocation to ethnic groups extended to Dec 31

Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) has extended the Amanah Saham 1Malaysia (AS1M) subscription allocation to ethnic groups to Dec 31, 2009.

PNB president and group chief executive Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che Othman said the decision to extend the allocation ratio was to provide extra time for people from all ethnic groups to invest in the fund.

The investors of AS1M came from various economic backgrounds including medium and low-income earners, he said in a statement on Oct 1.

AS1M, a fixed price fund with a size of 10 billion units, was launched on July 31, 2009 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

It is open to all Malaysians with an allocation of 50% for bumiputeras, 30% for Chinese, 15% for Indians and 5% for other ethnic groups.

As of Sept 27, more than 2.5 billion units had been subscribed by 165,661 investors.

So if you still haven't buy yet and have the cash or have the intention to buy, what are you waiting for???

Honeywell's Penang facility to be fully operational in 3 months

HONEYWELL Aerospace Penang is expected to begin full operation within the next three months, its president Tim Mahoney said yesterday.

Mahoney, who is also the chief executive officer, said construction of Honeywell's state-of-the art aerospace facility started in May 2008 and was completed last December.

"Staffing and training began in the middle of 2008 and currently we have recruited about 500 employees, with all of them having completed more than 30,000 hours of training here and in the US," he said at a news conference in Penang. Mahoney said the Penang plant would be serving not only the region but also the global aviation industry with premier avionics products.

"The avionics produced here are ultimately used everyday on a wide range of planes built by the world's major aircraft manufacturers," he said, adding that the company had invested more than RM520 million in the plant located in Seberang Perai.

According to him, US-based Honeywell offers about 40,000 aerospace components and its Penang plant is expected to be the company's main production centre. - Bernama

Happy Birthday China!

Happy Birthday to China (People's Republic of China) !!! It's a national day celebration and they will be having a week off!!! As far as I know, China doesn't always have holidays like we do in Malaysia, but whenever it's holiday, it's gonna be a long one for them.

Brief description of the China National Day:

The PRC was founded on October 1, 1949 with a ceremony at Tiananmen Square. The Central People's Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China on December 2, 1949 and declared that October 1 is the National Day.

The National Day marks the start of one of the two Golden Weeks in the PRC. The National Day is celebrated throughout mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau with a variety of government-organised festivities, including fireworks and concerts. Public places, such as Tiananmen Square in Beijing, are decorated in a festive theme. Portraits of revered leaders, such as Sun Yat-sen, are publicly displayed.

Lack of posting for September

For the first time in many many months, I noticed that I have not managed to have an average of a post a day in my blog. That's kinda my aim to have this average number of posting everyday, but somehow there're just too many things to deal with for the past month of September. Hopefully I can be back on track for the number of postings. Also if you noticed carefully, there aren't many activities posting in Penang recently by me due to my schedule. To post this event trail, I need to normally do a lot of reading and referring, so sorry folks! And of course thanks for your patience...really really appreciate it...
