SC revokes SJ Asset Management licence

0 Comments | New Straits Times, Jul 29, 2010 | by Azlan Abu Bakar

THE Securities Commission (SC) has revoked SJ Asset Management Sdn Bhd’s (SJAM) licence, effective immediately, after investigations found the company had broken rules.

SJAM failed to safeguard clients’ assets and engaged in deceitful and improper business practices, the SC said. The company was also found to have given the SC false and misleading information.

“We are working closely with the police and regulatory counterparts in other countries as part of our investigations into the affairs of SJAM,” an SC spokesperson said in a statement that was released yesterday in Kuala Lumpur.

SJAM, a licensed fund company incorporated in 1992, manages regional investments in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan and South Korea.

On July 27, the SC asked the High Court to wind up the fund management company pursuant to Section 361 of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007.

“The winding-up of SJAM will enable liquidators to effectively deal with the rights and entitlements of all creditors, including the clients of the company,” the SC spokesperson said.

Yesterday, the High Court appointed Datuk Gan Ah Tee and Mok Chew Yin from BDO Governance Advisory Sdn Bhd as provisional liquidators.

The liquidators will also determine an appropriate basis of returning assets to entitled clients.

“We urge all affected parties to cooperate with the provisional liquidators to ensure an effective resolution of the issues con- fronting SJAM,” the SC spokes-person said.

SJAM came into the spotlight when the SC on June 29 stopped it from taking care of fresh funds after examination of the fund manager raised concerns.

Numerous attempts to reach SJAM chairman Datuk Kamaruddin Hamzah have been unsuccessful.

The whereabouts of the company’s managing director, Whai Onn Tan, are also unclear. Kamaruddin is the co-owner of SJAM Holdings Sdn Bhd, the parent company of SJAM, together with Whai.

Whai is also SJAM’s head of fund and portfolio management, while Kamaruddin sits on the board of directors of a few public-listed companies.

Ask a biker

With Bike Week in full swing, we decided once again to put our toughest questions to folks who aren’t afraid to wear their opinions on their biceps and don’t let anybody push them around. What these bikers had to say about real-life parenting, fashion, etiquette and relationship dilemmas might surprise you.

Rita and John are a leather-clad married couple. Here’s a fun fact they like to tell: John’s middle initial is “F,” making him the real John F. Kennedy.

Chuck

As a local, Chuck, who is “just Chuck,” is a habitual Bike Week participant.

The Questions

My husband is an avid hunter and recently had one of the bucks he killed mounted. I thought we had agreed to keep such trophies in his home office, but I came home one night to find him grinning sheepishly just before I spotted the huge antlered head hanging over our living room sofa. My husband has put an enormous amount of work into our home and deserves to have some say in the decor, but I’m really not crazy about the new addition. Should I learn to live with it or insist he find it a new habitat?

Rita Kennedy: You have to live with it in the living room. He’s proud of this head. Ours is in our computer room.

Pete Pitman: My wife would kill me if I did that. I wouldn’t dare. He has to find a new place to put it.

Chuck: She should learn to with that deer, or he should find a new wife.

I have two daughters who are close in age. Whenever one of them has a friend over, the other one ends up either being a huge pest or moping around feeling left out. Since scheduling play dates for both of them at the same time isn’t always possible or practical, I find myself constantly dealing with the “third wheel” syndrome. Any suggestions?

The Rev. Michael Landry: I’ve been there, done that and you’ve just got to deal with it
