I see in others countries like taiwan, Australia, US and UK the sales of cx5 still remain quite stable not like here in Malaysia. but one biggest different compare to the Cx 5 here is the interior and other accessories is much more attractive and looks nicer especially the sound system, variations in seats color and touch screen sizes. maybe bermaz can consider incorporating these cosmetics feature into our cx5 to refresh the interests and make value for money for Mazda cx5 potential buyer.

I believe Bermaz can afford to add of these features without having to sacrifice much margin because is doesn't involve any development cost because is already available in others country. to be honest MazdaSpeed edition is really flop by asking buyer to pay additional 12k.

instead of supporting the share price better find a constructive plan to boost up sales. maybe cx5 can do a major cosmetic upgrade by using oversea specs into the cx5. maybe can use Australia specs. their cx5 looks more premium with full body color externally and few choice of internal color, bigger screen, Bose sound system. their cx5 sales seem quite stable even though with chinese brand going in. Bermaz maybe can create more value for money for malaysia market. better than share buyback

If you want vendors (dealers, sales agents, or even third-party platforms) to push Mazda cars more aggressively, increasing their commission can work — but it’s usually most effective if paired with a structured incentive plan.

Here’s a practical approach:

⸻

1. Adjust Base Commission Rate
• Raise the standard sales commission slightly (e.g., from 3% to 4–5% of gross profit).
• Make it competitive with rival brands’ dealer incentives — if Toyota is paying more per car, vendors will naturally push Toyota first.

2. Add Tiered Volume Bonuses
• Example:
• Tier 1: Sell 5–10 units/month → +RM500 per car bonus
• Tier 2: Sell 11–20 units/month → +RM800 per car bonus
• Tier 3: Sell 21+ units/month → +RM1,200 per car bonus
• This motivates vendors to keep selling beyond just one or two cars.

3. Introduce Fast-Move Model Rewards
• If you want to move specific models (e.g., Mazda 3, Mazda CX-5), give an extra one-time payout per unit sold within a certain timeframe.

4. Provide Marketing Support
• Give vendors co-marketing funds (ads, events, digital campaigns) so they have more leads to convert.

5. Non-Cash Incentives
• Annual overseas trip for top performers.
• Public recognition, awards, and showroom trophies.

6. Short-Term “Push” Campaigns
• Run 1–2 month special commission boosts during slow seasons or before new model launches to clear inventory.

the CEO mentioned their products is near product end cycle. temporary bringing in cx60 and cx80 to soften the impact of poor sales. unless Bermaz able to come out with new cash cow model, there won't be any positive upside for the share price maybe minor fluctuations

What Dato’ Sri Ben Yeoh typically says about the Malaysian automotive sector is that it is promising but faces significant headwinds. His commentary is characterized by a balanced, business-focused perspective that highlights:

· Strength in resilient consumer demand.
· Major challenges from currency exchange rates and inflation.
· A practical, step-by-step approach to electrification, favoring PHEVs in the short term.
· A strategy of growth through portfolio expansion and local assembly.

You can find his direct quotes in the business sections of major Malaysian news outlets like The Star, The Edge Malaysia, and Bernama, especially during Bermaz's quarterly financial result announcements or new model launches.

Relax lah for sure Bauto management and major stakeholders have their own vision and mission where we ordinary shareholders wouldn’t envisage that is the reasons why they are the founding owners whereas we are just an ordinary shareholders who are scared by the share price movement instead of the potential value in the locomotive industry via Bauto waiting to be unlock ya

In the 4 phases of valuation over time is it not that we should buy when it is at the blown off phase where the reward outweighs the risk as long as the management is honest and company is sound? Yes I will buy in Bauto when there is despair and fear at the moment

Serba 2.0??? Let me refresh you with the analysis of Serba Dinamik down fall instead of being a loose canon said whatever you wish that bear so similarity with Bauto and cast yourself as being a fool ya

The drastic decline and eventual collapse of Serba Dinamik Holdings Berhad's stock price is a classic case study in corporate governance failure and one of the most significant scandals in Malaysia's financial market history.

The downfall was not due to a single reason but a cascade of events triggered by a fundamental issue: questions about the veracity of its financial statements.

Here are the key reasons, broken down chronologically and thematically:

1. The Immediate Trigger: The Audit Controversy (May 2021)

· Whistleblower Report & KPMG's Red Flags: The crisis began when the company's external auditor, KPMG, raised numerous red flags after investigating a whistleblower report. KPMG could not verify the existence and authenticity of transactions amounting to billions of ringgit.
· Key Areas of Doubt: The major issues identified were:
· Sales Transactions: Questionable sales figures to customers, suggesting they might be inflated or non-existent.
· Trade Receivables: Difficulty confirming money owed to the company by these customers.
· Plant, Property & Equipment (PPE): Questions about the existence and value of assets listed on the company's books.
· Boardroom Battle: Instead of addressing the concerns, Serba Dinamik's management, led by CEO Datuk Dr. Mohd Abdul Karim Abdullah, turned on KPMG. They applied to the court to remove KPMG as auditors and sued them for negligence, creating a major governance red flag.

2. Deep-Rooted Causes: Corporate Governance Failures

This audit dispute revealed severe underlying governance problems:

· Dismissal of Regulators: The company's aggressive stance against its own auditor and later against the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) eroded investor confidence entirely. It signaled a management unwilling to be transparent.
· Board and Management Issues: Key independent directors resigned en masse, citing a lack of cooperation and information from management. This exodus was a clear sign of internal dysfunction.
· Appointment of a "Special Auditor": To investigate, the company appointed Ernst & Young Consulting Sdn Bhd (EY) as a "special independent reviewer." Their findings, though limited in scope, confirmed many of KPMG's concerns, revealing that many documents related to the questionable transactions were missing or inaccessible.

3. Regulatory and Exchange Intervention

· Suspension and Classification: Bursa Malaysia suspended trading of Serba Dinamik's shares multiple times. The stock was eventually classified as a PN17 status company. This is a designation for financially distressed companies, forcing them to submit a regularisation plan to avoid delisting.
· Investigation by Authorities: The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) launched a formal investigation into the company for possible breaches of securities laws.
· Legal Action Against Executives: In March 2023, the SC charged Serba Dinamik and four of its top executives, including the CEO and CFO, with furnishing false statements to Bursa Malaysia. This was the culmination of the regulatory probe and a fatal blow to the company's credibility.

4. Financial and Operational Collapse

· Default on Debts: With its credibility shattered, the company could not secure new funding or business. It began defaulting on its multi-billion ringgit debts owed to local and international banks.
· Liquidation of Assets: Lenders began seizing and selling off the company's assets to recover their loans.
· Failed Regularisation Plan: The company failed to submit a viable plan to regularise its financial condition, a requirement to lift its PN17 status.

5. The Final Blow: Delisting

After failing to meet multiple deadlines and requirements set by Bursa Malaysia, Serba Dinamik was delisted from the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia on January 5, 2024. Its shares are now worthless, and retail investors who held the stock lost their entire investment.

In summary, the stock's fall was due to: A whistleblower report that exposed potential accounting fraud → which led to a fight with the auditor instead of transparency → revealing catastrophic corporate governance failures → triggering regulatory action and a PN17 status → causing a liquidity crisis and debt defaults → culminating in delisting and a total loss of shareholder value. The core reason was a severe breach of trust in the company's reported financial health.
