Article From Asean Enerrgy Tycoon Syed Mokhtar's corporate coming out Low-profile businessman Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary will finally show his hands and make known his business interests via Malaysia Mining Corp Bhd (MMC). The businessman whose business dealings have always been the subject of speculation and intrigue is expected to finally appear as a controlling shareholder in MMC, which will then become his listed flagship. His decision to come clean with his business interest followed advice from senior government officials to resolve the transparency issues relating to his business interests. "We are handling the matter. I can't stay underground any more" said Syed Mokhtar in an interview in the May 29 issue of the Far Eastern Economic Review (FEER). MMC will be the company through which he plans to manage his complex web of business interests, which associates say boast a combined annual revenue of RM12 billion and employ more than 32,000. The businessman declined to comment on details of the planned restructuring at MMC, which is expected to be announced as early as the end of this month. Syed Mokhtar currently controls almost 20 per cent of MMC through a private nominee concern, Impian Teladan. The company paid RM3 a share for the stake, beating two other bidders who were offering RM1.80 and RM2.20 respectively. To gain control of MMC, he sold his controlling interests in Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) and a lucrative power plant to MMC, which paid for those stakes partly in cash and partly with new MMC shares. The deals gave him a 19.9 per cent interest in the investment holding company, and several bankers say that stake could rise to 40 per cent once he sells his interest in a RM7 billion port and power plant project in the north. Over the years, Syed Mokhtar has assembled a formidable array of businesses ranging from ports, power, mines, plantations to manufacturing, healthcare and tourism, almost entirely from behind the scenes. For much of the 1990s, also from behind the scenes, he was buying and selling assets, including stakes in numerous public companies, to establish himself as a shrewd, if little-known, corporate trader. Syed Mokhtar rode Malaysia's stock market boom, acquiring stakes in listed companies before selling them for a profit. Companies he invested in include Mulpha International, Sriwani Holdings, Pilecon Engineering, Johor Tenggara Oil Palm, Bina Puri and Daiman. When the Asian financial crisis struck, hitting equity prices hard, Syed Mokhtar was said to have had the net worth of his holdings crash to RM600 million from a high of about RM3 billion. The businessman declined to comment on the figure, but said, "I've seen my wealth disappear". He says that he has resolved "two-thirds" of his problems with his bankers over troubled loans arising from stock purchases. Syed Mokhtar never lends his name to his businesses. His corporate headquarters is a three-storey building in a shabby part of Kuala Lumpur. But now he wants to change this image. Bankers close to the businessman say that his corporate coming out marks a new phase for Malaysia Inc. By complying with higher standards of disclosure, these financial executives say, the businessman has come to appreciate the value of the equity investor. "He clearly see the benefits of funding his corporate plans through equity markets rather than debt," said a senior banker who has done business with him. There are also encouraging signs that foreign fund managers are taking note. According to Toh Hoon Chew of CIMB Research in Kuala Lumpur, MMC's foreign shareholding has jumped to more than 9 per cent compared with under 1 per cent a year ago. His business interests include a joint venture with shipping giant Maersk Sealand in the PTP in Johor, which is fast emerging as a serious threat to neighbouring Singapore's port operations. His companies are building and acquiring power plants all over the country, moves which are set to turn Syed Mokhtar into the country's single largest power generator after national utility Tenaga Nasional Bhd. The businessman is also taking a lead role in attracting money from Gulf states into Malaysia. He has formed a joint venture with Dubai-based businessman Mohamed Ali Al-Abbar to build a US$2.5 billion (US$1 = RM3.80) aluminium smelting plant in Sarawak. He rejects comparisons with other Malaysian tycoons who feasted on Government-awarded projects and licences during the 1990s economic boom before collapsing in the mid-1997 regional crisis. "We've done business for the last 30 years and it has been direct dealings with the private sector. That gives us a strong foundation," he told FEER, adding that his group survived the last economic crisis without bailouts from the Government. Mohamed Sidek Shaik Osman, the chief executive of Syed Mokhtar's port operations and one of his most trusted lieutenants, said that the misconception about his boss is because he insists "on keeping too low a profile". "Most people only talk about MMC and the port, but there is much more to his business empire." To supporters and associates, Syed Mokhtar is a shrewd, self-made entrepreneur. He had a tough childhood growing up in Kedah. The son of a poor cattle trader, he helped his father with simple bookkeeping for the family business, before venturing out on his own in 1973 to start a transport business with two Chinese businessmen, and then moving on to rice trading. "MMC will be our flagship company and the whole group, our listed and unlisted businesses, will be restructured. "We will expand in Johor with our ports and other transportation business such as air cargo. Gas distribution and energy will also be big contributors. "There will be strong emphasis on social obligations. We have big education and medical projects for the poor and the Islamic Museum which the Bukhary Foundation operates. The corporate side will help out." On the possibility of a sharp economic slowdown which could affect him and his group, Syed Mokhtar said: "We have borrowings, but the loans are backed by strong assets. We had debt problems after the 1997 crisis, but we have managed to resolve most of them. "The difference with our group is that our business, more than 70 per cent, is with the private sector. Once our restructuring (at MMC) is done, we will be in a stronger position."
