NST Business reported 25-7-2013 that Maybank Investment Bank Bhd has purchased 5.49 million shares in AirAsia X Bhd yesterday to stabilise the stock’s price. The company told Bursa Malaysia yesterday Maybank IB had purchased the shares at RM1.25 each HERE.In monetary term, on 24-7-2013 Maybank investment under YM Tengku Zafrul Aziz has pumped in another RM6.863 million to stabilize the shares of AirAsia X Bhd.On 3 occasions Maybank Investment pumped as follows:On 11-7-2013 RM24.375 million HERE
On 17-7-2013 RM8.45 million HERE
On 24-7-2013 RM6.863 million (above).
For the past 2 weeks after the IPO of AirAsia X has been closed, Maybank Investment had pumped in RM39.688 million to stabilize IPO of AirAsia X.
Please don’t be alarmed by RM39.688 million. It is just a drop in the ocean to Maybank Investment. Hopefully we will see more fund will be pumped in by Maybank Investment to help to stabilize the share price of AirAsia X.
The pumping in of fund by Maybank Investment should be viewed as a form of“national service” by Maybank Investment to help public listed companies to stabilize its IPO share. In return, we should help Maybank by buying its shares so that it could help more companies to stabilize their IPO shares. It might be an opportune moment for Maybank to have a new slogan “Now Everyone Can Buy Maybank shares” to attract more customers to join its effort for “nation building”.

Just for completeness, prior to the closing of the IPO of AirAsia X the highly acclaimed Editor of Business Star, BK Sidhu had promoted the AirAsia X share will be over-subscribed by at least 3 to 4 times HERE.
Since then BK Sidhu has yet to write another piece to clarify on her promotional article, which was most misleading and unprofessional to say the least.
Ms Sidhu, are you still the Editor of Business Star?
