Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman announced Monday an income distribution of five per cent or five sen per unit for Saham Amanah Sabah (SAS) for 2009.
The total payout amounted to RM63.8 million based on the total of 1.276 billion units held by unitholders as at Dec 15, 2009, he told reporters after meeting the SAS board of directors at his office here.
Describing it as a positive achievement compared to last year when there was no income distribution, Musa said the main reason which enabled the payout was the good performance of Bursa Malaysia.
"The FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index hit a high of 1,279.95 points on Nov 17, 2009, which was up by 46 per cent compared to 879.75 points on Dec 31, 2008," he said.
Musa said the income distribution would be paid to 54,122 investors comprising 45,840 (84.7 per cent) individuals, 7,407 (13.7 per cent) holders under the Hardcore Poor Scheme, 827 (1.53 per cent) through bank loans and 48 (0.09 per cent) from the corporate sector.
He said this was the 10th time that income distribution was paid since SAS started 15 years ago, with the last payment of four per cent made in 2007.
Earlier, Musa said up to Dec 15, 2009, SAS had recorded a gross income of RM77.26 million, with the gains coming from the share market (85.29 per cent), income from dividends (10.6 per cent) and financial market (4.11 per cent).
