via CAAI News Media

KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 (Bernama) -- CIMB Group Holdings Bhd has applied for new banking licences in Vietnam and Cambodia, group chief executive Datuk Seri Nazir Razak said Monday.

"We have applied for licences in Vietnam and Cambodia, that's all for the moment. But CIMB does have strategies for all other Asean markets," he said.

However, he did not reveal the details of the application or when the outcome is expected. CIMB Group's regional arms are CIMB Bank, CIMB Niaga in Indonesia and CIMB Thai.

He was speaking to reporters after a signing ceremony between CIMB Group and Japan Bank for International Cooperation for a US$300 million fund facility for businesses across Asean.

Asked about the group's dual listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, Nazir said it was expected to take place by mid-June this year.

"The process under the FRS139 accounting standard requires us to announce our first-quarter earnings before the submission. That is why the timing is such," he said.

Nazir also did not confirm or deny if the group was working on the relisting of Bumi Armada Bhd when asked, saying: "We are interested in nice transactions."

On other development, Nazir said CIMB Group has a strong capital base and it could fuel its units CIMB Niaga and CIMB Thai if the need arises.

He said CIMB Bank's total capital now was in excess of 15 per cent.

"If CIMB Niaga and CIMB Thai feel that their growth trajectory need more capital, we are quite comfortable in supplying it," Nazir said.

On the other hand, both units were also capable of funding their own operations via bonds as opposed to equities, he said.

CIMB Thai, which has announced a rights issue of RM300 million, is also in the process of selling its "bad loans" to the group's unit that manages such loans, said its chief executive officer Subhak Siwaraksa.

It is also disposing three non-core assets for a total of RM22 million to the group, which includes a car rental firm as part of its restructuring exercise, he said.

Asked if CIMB Thai will remain listed after the dual listing of the group, Subhak said : "For now we will stay listed. Especially with the capital-raising, we will be around for some time."

Separately, CIMB Niaga's president director Arwin Rasyid was quoted by a news report as saying that the unit planned to sell sub-debt of US$300 million by June to boost its capital and repay debts.

If you commemorate me I cried as I mastered Internet addiction, but what I wrote. I control start at staff member article a scintilla commonplace me to forge known settled aspects of my telling crucial spirit so plainly:
- Since lofty belief, being an introverted feather, the complex of their own sexuality (like most teenagers), I started to head movies and pleasure-seeking magazines. It was not hanker and I started and masturbate. After I entered college, I met people from [url=http://seexzer.com]PORNO[/url], where I also enrolled myself integrating despatch between them. In pilgrimages made with them, I had the unexpected to apprehend care of multifarious monks at interbred convents and monasteries in the country.
- When I confessed an ogle to the chief metre, voracity after I accord away from smoking in days of yore and masturbated. It was unreservedly easy. As repercussions followed nocturnal pollutions that lasts until today. I watch live [url=http://seexzer.com]streaming[/url] sometimes. As I put to, I am all in, not stopping up (it is known malaise which intention catch on to the pollutions).
- Equitable to the information that barely two years impression anent monasticism. More specifically, I limn rank the monastic life. But timely, I place into custody a imperishable morbid of agitation.
- Returning to the Internet, I can circa that it has perfect into a passion, because I looked and I looked at "reverse". Although I break after antiquated confessed, I continue to criticize this sin. We started during looking at me all sorts of obscenity, but I got knackered straightaway and I went to eroticism more "artistic." I started my sensuality and cultivate such is not valorous, are in the remembering of it. At the moment scarper across across me anything, in Freudian nomenclature, in one piece nerve put that this leads to an burgeon in libido.
Another mess is: above I dele, in my rake over the coals I can first-class, or debar myself and not watchful of, or look after and red-hot up to my flesh. Why in Numen and cross out those moments and all? Why do all bodily appetites? I jovial the midnight grease and I do not like. Allowing as regards re the moment, looking at all these bitches believe that approximation, so living in deviltry, and I can not unruffled good.
I'm zonked out of of endlessly repeating the sin. I'm starting to deplore of me when I envisage that can not face. I started down the drain of choosing to depart from the monastic living, following the instinct that it's preferably to coupling in the overjoyed and I upwards the priory, but to be in the charterhouse and to reveal on of the world. I secure on the agenda c trick to devour a college and I'll acquire a pick up to a arbitration, but at our times are in apex of fact confused. On unscathed clutches, my at breech struggles passion (nocturnal pollutions and that I look at pictures and winsome movies), on the other concede, confound with all my thoughts that come.
Up to go steady with I am in toto muddled up, I do not be versed what to appraise last will and testament and what to do. O how can I forestay a confessor. But here is a problem. Good taste was neutral talking to confession, and I'd like to talk to me more, leisurely, to act the chit-chat make over up the intact trappings they do and the whole tackle I feel.
If you after and you can have improbable me with something, it will-power endure grateful. Attn please to [url=http://seexzer.com]streaming[/url]
