New Tactic To Steal ATM Cards

Police have come upon a new tactic by foreign badhats to steal automated teller machine (ATM) cards at ATM machines around Brickfields.

The gang is made up of two to three men and a woman all in their 30s.

Brickfields police district chief ACP Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid said their tactic was to stand close behind or beside to observe the victim withdrawing money.

"After the victim withdraws the money and begins to take the ATM card, one person will tap the shoulder of the victim and when the victim turns the suspect will tell the victim that his or her money had fallen on the floor. At the same time another person in the group will take the victim's card or switch the card," Wan Abdul Bari told Bernama when contacted here on Tuesday.

He said when the victim turns to look for the so-called money on the floor the suspects would flee and when the victim turns to the ATM machine he or she will find the card missing or would be unaware that the card had been switched with another card.

"When the victim checks the account balance he or she will find that money had been withdrawn from the account," he said.

"We advise people to be alert when withdrawing money especially in this festive season," he said.

Till now there had been four cases in the district.

Meanwhile, police have arrested a 20-year-old man who is believed to have sweet-talked and then stolen from several teenage girls.

According to Wan Abdul Bari the suspect portrays himself as the son of a Tan Sri or Datuk over the Internet and coaxed the victims to go out with him.

"After several meetings, the victims will have confidence in the suspect. At some time the suspect would take the victim out and when she goes to the ladies, the suspect would tell her to leave her bag, laptop and valuables in his car.

"He then takes off with the things," he said.

He said police had seized a laptop, documents, car keys, various SIM cards, pen drives and several personal belongings of victims.

Besides that a police check revealed the suspect's car was a vehicle reported stolen in Kota Damansara.

"The suspect is still under remand and will be brought to court soon," he said.

PETROLIAM Nasional Bhd (Petronas) says its Petronas Primax 95 petrol will be available at all 920 Petronas stations nationwide by September 1.

PETROLIAM Nasional Bhd (Petronas) says its Petronas Primax 95 petrol will be available at all 920 Petronas stations nationwide by September 1.

The RON 95 fuel is currently available at more than 280 Petronas stations nationwide.

More stations will offer the fuel in stages.

Petronas Primax 95 claims to offer motorists enhanced fuel economy without compromising on engine performance and power, making it suitable for all cars, especially engines with direct injection technology.





The fuel, priced at RM1.75 a litre, is powered with the Sinar G-07 additive, which includes a friction modifier to protect engine parts and a combustion improver to enhance overall engine efficiency.

It is also formulated with a detergent to clean and prevent build-up of deposits that degrade engine performance.

PFMB Declares 3.56 Sen Dividend For Prudential Balanced Fund

Prudential Fund Management Bhd(PFMB) has declared an income distribution of 3.56 sen per unit for the unit holders of its Prudential Balanced Fund.

The distribution is equivalent to five percent on Net Asset Value of the fund as at July 31, 2009, the company said in a statement.

The fund saw a one, three and five-year return of 5.01 percent, 32.27 percent and 41.30 percent respectively.

Set up in 2001, the fund is intended to provide investors with capital appreciation and a reasonable level of current income by investing in a mixed portfolio of companies with good dividend yield and low price volatility and a portfolio of investment-grade fixed-income securities.

This would be the fourth time an income distribution has been announced for the fund which has, since its inception, recorded a return of 117.98 percent, outperforming its benchmark, by 48.20 percent.

PFMB said the fund gained from selected big-cap holdings especially the banks, as investors positioned their funds to reflect the new weighting in the new FBMKLCI index.

"The banking sector comprises a major sector weighting for the new index. The fund's exposure in corporate bonds also helped the fund's relative performance as corporate bonds yield higher returns than the benchmark RAM quant shop Medium Index in June," said the Chief Executive Officer-Designate of PFMB, Thomas Cheong.

"We believe that the current liquidity driven rally is still intact, at least in the short term, on expectations of impending pump priming activities and positive policy changes," Cheong said.

PNB Announces 6.3 Sen Income Distribution For ASW 2020

Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) on Wednesday announced an income distribution of 6.3 sen per unit for Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 (ASW 2020) for the year ending Aug 31, 2009 as against 7.0 sen per unit in the previous year.

Its chairman Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid said the income distribution involved a total payment of RM592.26 million.

"It will benefit 872,322 unit holders who currently hold 11.01 billion units of ASW 2020," he told a press conference here.

ASW 2020 unit holders will receive their income statement from the end of October.

Up to Aug 17 this year, ASW 2020 recorded an income of RM661.28 million, an increase of 12.62 percent from the RM587.18 million posted in the previous corresponding period.

Profit from the sale of shares contributed RM311.27 million or 47.7 percent while dividend income from investing companies RM223.69 million or 33.83 percent and interest and other income RM126.32 million or 19.10 percent.

Meanwhile, PNB president and group chief executive Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che Othman said PNB sold 14.5 billion trust units in the first eight months of this year.

Of the amount, 7.7 billion units were subscribed by Bumiputeras and the balance of 6.8 billion units by non-Bumiputeras.

"As a whole, since PNB launched Amanah Saham 1Malaysia (AS 1Malaysia) and increased the units of ASW 2020 and Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM), it has sold 14.5 billion units," he said.

PNB currently manages funds totalling RM120 billion.

Asked on the progress of AS 1Malaysia, Hamad Kama Piah said 1.962 billion units had been sold to date.

"Even though, its sale was quite slow, the demand for AS 1Malaysia was better compared to ASW 2020 and ASM," he said.

ASW 2020 sold 70.18 million units on the first day of its launch on Aug 28, 1996 and ASM 173.6 million units when it was launched on April 20, 2000 while AS 1Malaysia touched 1.08 billion units on its launch on Aug 5, 2009, he said.

He added that for AS 1Malaysia, about 56 percent of the Chinese quota had been filled, representing 1.66 billion units.

Over AS 1Malaysia Units 1.6 Bln Units Sold

Pemodalan Nasional Bhd's (PNB) Amanah Saham 1 Malaysia (AS 1Malaysia) has sold 1.67 billion units, its president/chief executive officer, Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che Othman, said Tuesday.

He said the response to the fund was encouraging with subscription on the first day of sales exceeded that sold by other fixed funds like ASW 2020 and ASM.

"If you compare with ASM and ASW 2020, this product is better. On the first day, it sold 1.4 billion units.

"Compared with ASM and ASW 2020, the response was encouraging," he told reporters after the finals of Investment Quiz Contest PNB 2009 (Secondary Schools) and PNB's Smart Investment Club Debate here today.

AS 1Malaysia, with approved fund size of RM10 billion, is offered to Malaysians aged 18 and above at RM1 each.

The public can invest in at least 100 units.

For those aged under 55 they can buy a maximum of 50,000 units and 100,000 units for those aged 55 and above.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak launched the fund on July 31, 2009.

Hamad Kama Piah said for the Chinese community its quota was 50 percent sold.

"This is unlike other unit trusts sold by PNB where the quota for the Chinese community would be taken up within two days of the launch," he said.

He said the reason could be PNB benchmarked the fund's returns against the average five-year Malaysian Government Securities yield, which currently has a trading yield of 3.73 per cent.

For ASW 2020 and ASM, he said, PNB used the three-month Kuala Lumpur Inter-Bank Offered Rate.

"When they understand the situation, I hope they will continue to invest and not wait until the last minute," he said.
