KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 , 2012 Telekom Malaysia Bhd's (TM) earnings are expected to see an uplift following its high speed broadband (HSBB) agreement with REDTone International Bhd (REDtone) yesterday, said Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB).
"We would expect the agreement to contribute positively to TM's earnings whereby, it would normally encompass two types of income, recurring and usage based," HLIB said in its research note today.
Under the agreement, TM will provide both HSBB access and transmission services to REDtone with the latter having access to 1.3 million premises by year-end.

Meanwhile, it also believes that TM will continue to lead the fibre-to-the-home market segment with the advantage as the first mover.

Plantation Sector Is Expected To Gain Significant Momentum
10 Rabiulakhir 1433
KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 , 2012- The plantation sector is expected to gain significant momentum this year following a good performance in 2011, said JF Apex Securities Bhd in a research note.
It said demand for crude palm oil (CPO) would remain resilient and production in the first half of 2012 was expected to be lower due to bumper harvest last year and lag effect of heavy rainfall in the second half of 2011.
"The lag effect of the heavy rainfall is expected to lead to lesser formation of fresh fruit bunches (FFBs).
"However, the rainfall is predicted to be normalised in the first half of this year. Therefore, there will be no major shortfall for the FFB production in the second half of this year," it said.
JF Apex said the CPO price for the first quarter of this year would hover between RM3,100 and RM3,200 per tonne mainly due to lower production.
