Hey, man.. I am a new reader. Since you cover frontier/emerging markets, you should always say how/where to buy the stock. For instance, this one interested me a lot. Thanks!!

Hey, thanks for reading! I wrote about that here https://frontierviking.substack.com/p/frontier-market-brokers when writing about quite far off markets, but Malaysia is covered by Interactive Brokers and many others,

it seems that the company in the photo you used "Harbour link container service" is not a part of the listed company. I used it to search in the annual report and checked the sub list.

Ah, I think you are right, the logo just looked similar! Replaced with a Harbour Link tugboat.

Very cool finding. I was researching a bit about possible sons or daughters of the founders, but nothing in other positions in the company. It would be really interesting to know about the succession plans of the founders, what is their end game with the company, because with +70 years old and the big % holding, basically they can do what they want

I looked into the succession actually, no real public information about it, no official designated successor, but the current board includes an "Edward Wong Siong Seh" as Executive Director - a younger individual whose biography shows he started his career in the early 1980s and joined Harbour-Link in 1992, suggesting he is likely a son of the co-founder Wong Siong Seh and has thirty years of operational shipping experience embedded within the group. On the side of the other co-founder and Chairman/CEO Yong Piaw Soon, there is no public evidence of a designated heir - no family member appears in any filing under the Yong name.
