Shareholders in AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust (KLSE:ARREIT) are in the red if they invested five years ago
While it may not be enough for some shareholders, we think it is good to see the AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust (KLSE:ARREIT) share price up 14% in a single quarter. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last five years have been less than pleasing. You would have done a lot better buying an index fund, since the stock has dropped 39% in that half decade. Since shareholders are down over the longer term, lets look at the underlying fundamentals over the that time and see if they've been consistent with returns. We've discovered 6 warning signs about AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust. View them for free. There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price. Looking back five years, both AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust's share price and EPS declined; the latter at a rate of 45% per year. This was, in part, due to extraordinary items impacting earnings. This fall in the EPS is worse than the 9% compound annual share price fall. So investors might expect EPS to bounce back -- or they may have previously foreseen the EPS decline. With a P/E ratio of 131.96, it's fair to say the market sees a brighter future for the business. The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust's earnings, revenue and cash flow. When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. We note that for AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust the TSR over the last 5 years was -19%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! We're pleased to report that AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 19% over one year. And that does include the dividend. That certainly beats the loss of about 4% per year over the last half decade. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Like risks, for instance. Every company has them, and we've spotted 6 warning signs for AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust (of which 2 are potentially serious!) you should know about.

Motorcyclist ordered to pay RM1.88mil in damages to disabled victim of road crash
KUALA LUMPUR: A Sessions Court here has ordered a motorcyclist to pay RM1.88 million in damages to a 37-year-old man who was left permanently disabled following a road crash six years ago. Judge Wan Nor Aklima Wan Salleh ruled in favour of Annad Hassan, apportioning 90 per cent liability to the defendant, Lim Chai Hock, and 10 per cent to the plaintiff for contributory negligence. Annad suffered severe brain trauma and multiple fractures in the March 22, 2019 accident and is now bedridden, unable to speak or perform daily tasks independently. He is cared for by his sister, Lazinda Hassan, who is also named as the second plaintiff in the case. The court awarded RM450,000 in general damages, including compensation for traumatic brain injury, a fractured skull and collarbone, lung contusion, facial fractures, disfiguring scars, and anticipated pain from future surgery. Lim, who did not call any witnesses during the trial, filed an appeal against the quantum but failed to specify which portions were being challenged. The appeal was dismissed. In rejecting the appeal, Wan Nor Aklima cited a Federal Court ruling, stressing that damages are meant to compensate, not to reward or punish. The judge said Annad's medical reports, rehabilitation assessments, and testimonies showed he was fully dependent on others and had no likelihood of recovery. "The plaintiff is totally dependent for activities of daily living… he is unable to talk, communicate, or respond to any questions from his caregivers," she said in her ground of judgment dated April 17. In addition to general damages, the court awarded RM1.43 million in special damages, including: - Loss of earnings and Employees Provident Fund employer contribution (RM381,713) - Future nursing care (RM288,000) - Medical supplies and paraphernalia (RM485,921.38) - Ambulance and outpatient costs (RM60,800) - Physiotherapy (RM57,600) - Wheelchair (RM12,160) - Past nursing care and equipment (RM137,513.70) - Home modifications for accessibility (RM8,000) The court also dismissed Lim's application for the compensation to be placed under Amanah Raya and released in stages. The judge said this would complicate matters for both parties, and dealing with Amanah Raya would incur certain administrative costs. "The plaintiffs will not have the opportunity to make a further claim if the awarded sum proves insufficient, especially if Annad's health deteriorates and requires higher medical expenses. "Therefore, the compensation is awarded as a lump sum, rather than in stages," she said, adding that the total sum is to be paid to the plaintiffs' solicitors accordingly. Lawyer Balvinderjit Kaur appeared for the plaintiffs, while Amar Jit Kaur Dharam Singh represented the defendant.

Writing wills, a touchy topic in Malaysia, where US$15 billion in inheritance is unclaimed
The revelation of billions of dollars in unclaimed inheritance has provoked uncomfortable questions among Malaysians about death, personal finance, and estate management, with many only now realising the importance of preserving their legacies for future generations rather than allowing them to be forfeited to the government after 15 years of inactivity. Advertisement The lack of estate planning in Malaysia has left an estimated 65 billion ringgit (US$14.8 billion) under government management, according to government-appointed inheritance trustee Amanah Raya in a report by local Malay daily Beritah Harian on Sunday. Just five per cent of the country's 34 million people have some form of estate planning, Amanah Raya's Group Managing Director Ahmad Faizal Sulaiman Khan said, leaving most of the population with the unwieldy task of clearing multiple legal and financial hurdles to secure their inheritance. Experts said that long-held superstitions and cultural taboos surrounding discussions about death are a major reason why Malaysians avoid talking about estate planning. 'Many Malaysians are hesitant to draft wills due to cultural and superstitious beliefs that discourage discussions about death,' said Eugene Yeong, a lawyer and founder of Yeoung and Associates, which offers estate management services. Estate planning is crucial in Malaysia, with US$14.8 billion unclaimed due to cultural taboos and lack of awareness, risking assets becoming government revenue.
