Malaysian brokerage houses are recommending the purchase of Sarawak Enterprise stocks to investors despite its high price.

The stock was valued at 5.40 ringgit per share as of Apr. 12, 1996 and trading at nearly 43 times the expected earnings for 1996. Additional earnings are also expected from the sale of electricity and the privatization of roads, bridges and waterworks.
