INQUIRER.net Stock Photo A great-grandmother has just proven once again that people can overcome challenges – such as age – when they set their sights on their goals and get the proper support.

(Photo by Kenny Yap/The Edge) - A + A KUALA LUMPUR (May 19): Affin Bank Bhd expects its loan growth to expand to 12% compared with 11% last year amidst a challenging economic and operating environment, according to the banking group’s president and chief executive officer Datuk Wan Razly Abdullah Wan Ali. Speaking at a Thursday (May 19) press conference in conjunction with the official collaboration of AFFIN x MYTHEO, Wan Razly said the bank had recorded good loan growth for the first quarter. However, he does not rule out the loan growth tapering off as things will become more expensive for borrowers and they would want to borrow less as they try to minimise their cost with the anticipation of overnight policy rate (OPR) hikes. “For us, we always look for ways to optimise our net interest margin (NIM) with the biggest … [Read more...] about Affin Bank optimistic on loan growth despite its expectation for another potential OPR hike this year

- A + A HONG KONG (May 19): Hong Kong new listings' volume plunged 90% to a nine-year low this year, data showed, as China's sharp economic slowdown and its regulatory drive cast a long shadow over the city's prospects as a destination for initial public offerings (IPOs). The drying up of share listings in Hong Kong bodes ill for investment banks, who make about a third of their revenue in the region from equity capital market deals, and for the Chinese-ruled territory's status as a global financial hub. Only US$2.1 billion has been raised this year via IPOs and secondary listings in Asia's most popular fundraising venue compared with US$20.7 billion by the same time last year, according to Refinitiv data, the slowest start to a year since 2013. "One of the reasons for the IPO market in Hong Kong falling so sharply is the deteriorating financial performance for most of the applicants in the previous financial year, and it is possible that will be the case for the … [Read more...] about Hong Kong new listings’ volume sinks to nine-year low on China slowdown

The lifespan of companies is shrinking – to 18 years now from 90 years in 1935, says Shiv Shivakumar, group executive president, corporate strategy, at the Aditya Birla Group. In an interview with Moneycontrol , he said in the future, some legacy companies and those that have been around for 10-15 years will likely be bought over or close down. Shivakumar, who recently wrote a book on career and management titled The Art of Management, said employee loyalty no longer exists and the contract between a company and an employee is now very short. The only thing that’s permanent is learning and the ability to look ahead. Managers must communicate at all times, advises Shivakumar, who was formerly chairperson of PepsiCo Holdings in India and CEO of emerging markets at Nokia. The young workforce will not respect age – they will respect relevance and impact, he said in the emailed interview. Edited excerpts: You’ve said in your new book that careers have changed … [Read more...] about MC Interview | Employee loyalty doesn’t exist, the contract between a company and employee is now very short: Shiv Shivakumar

This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on May 9, 2022 - May 15, 2022. - A + A DATUK Ahmad Nazim Abdul Rahman, who joined Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) last June, is its third CEO in two years. With his experience as CEO of Pelaburan Mara Bhd, he seems comfortable discussing investment and asset allocation strategies. But given the short stints of his predecessors, the question remains whether he will stay on long enough at the retirement fund to carry out the reforms that have been put in place. Following are excerpts of The Edge’s interview with Nazim. The Edge: LTAT’s main task is to give good dividends to its members. Since 2018, that has come down quite a bit. Are we going to go back and see the good days of 12% to 15%? Datuk Ahmad Nazim Abdul Rahman : It would not be sustainable to go back to that teen-per cent dividend returns. I’m happy to mention we recently announced a dividend of 4.1%, and that is the highest … [Read more...] about Cover Story: Rehabilitating a RM10 billion portfolio

Like most new moms, 26-year-old Veronica Gutierrez's life revolves around feeding her three-month-old daughter, Alessandra. For the first month, that meant mostly formula. But that formula was hard to find. She drove from store to store, so shaken by the empty shelves she began pumping her breast milk around the clock, in hopes she could draw out enough to feed Alessandra full time. "I had just gotten home from the hospital and I was in so much pain - even just having to jump in the car trying to find the formula, I was almost in tears," Gutierrez said. "There was that uncertainty whether I was actually going to find the formula," she said. "That's why I was working every day latching her on, even if she got just a little bit, because I knew, if I didn't, I would lose my milk supply." All night, Alessandra nurses. All day, Gutierrez pumps. Still, she considers herself lucky. Unlike millions of American parents, she's no longer worried where her baby's next meal will come from. … [Read more...] about As baby formula shortage worsens, families take desperate steps

It is difficult to keep Mitchell Marsh out of the game. Be it with the bat or with the ball. On Tuesday at the DY Patil Stadium, where playing strokes was tricky, the 30-year-old dealt in sixes to hasten the Delhi Capitals victory and keep alive their hopes of making the Play Offs. Marsh scored 89 in 62 balls with five fours and seven sixes, his powerful strokes off pacers and spinners taking his team over the line with 11 balls to spare. The Western Australia all-rounder had more sixes than fours, preferring to go aerial and clearing the boundary line with ease. After RR began brilliantly with Trent Boult dismissing opener KS Bharat off the second delivery edging to wicketkeeper and Prasidh Krishna bowling a maiden over to Marsh, the Australian duo of Warner and Marsh assessed the pitch conditions and paced their innings accordingly. Marsh unleashed his strokes, sending R Ashwin high over long-off for his first six, then pulling Krishna over backward square leg before … [Read more...] about Mitchell Marsh proves yet again why he is one of the best in T20 cricket

President Joe Biden wasted no time exploiting the tragic deaths of at least 10 people in Buffalo, New York, in what appears to be a heinous, racially-motivated shooting of black shoppers in a grocery store by a vile white supremacist. Leftists are trying to tie this evil Buffalo crime to former President Donald Trump , Tucker Carlson and Fox News . Yet in the alleged shooter’s own rambling manifesto , he attacks Fox News for what he claims is Jewish leadership’s part of the “replacement theory” conspiracy. (RELATED: CAMMACK: As The Left’s Crime Crisis Worsens, America Needs Its Police Now More Than Ever) The alleged shooter never mentions Carlson — either as an inspiration or anything else. In fact, the alleged Buffalo shooter rejects the U.S. conservative movement as corporatism, and embraces Leftist eco-fascism. In Buffalo Tuesday, Biden claimed the alleged shooter’s white supremacy was driven by “A hate that through the media and politics, the Internet, has … [Read more...] about SHEFFIELD: The Left Isn’t About To Let Another Tragedy Go To Waste

It's become an obsession for many. Filters and retouching apps have such an all-encompassing presence on social networks that we don't know what stars, influencers, and virtual friends actually look like. Slim down figures, give the rear end a lift, erase cellulite, wrinkles, acne, and stretch marks, and even more, to attain a fantasy beauty ideal, which is not exactly in line with the body positivity movement that advocates self-acceptance. In 2019, Chinese influencer "Your Highness Qiao Biluo" became the laughing stock of the web as the filter she used for her videos was disabled on the social network Douyu. The web celebrity, who pretended to be a young woman in her 20s, was found out to be a woman of 58 years old – which in itself isn't a problem – and her physique was completely unlike that of her fresh-faced, glamorous virtual twin. Filters and photo editing apps, which continue to proliferate like wildfire, have the ability to completely transform a person, from head to … [Read more...] about Would you be recognisable in real life based on your glamorous beauty snaps?
