Directors are generally encouraged to conduct their dealings in securities during the trading window period and recommended to refrain from dealing during the closed period1. The closed period is a period commencing 30 calendar days before the targeted date of announcement up to the date of the announcement of the quarterly results12. This is to minimize the risk of contravening the laws against insider trading1.
However, if an exceptional situation arises that compels the director to deal during the closed period, strict observance of the procedures is mandatory1. This could be seen as a positive sign for a few reasons:
Confidence in the Company: If a director is buying shares during the closed period, it could signal their confidence in the company’s performance and future prospects. It shows that they believe the company’s stock is undervalued and expect it to perform well.
Alignment of Interests: When directors own shares in their company, their interests are more closely aligned with those of the shareholders. They have a personal stake in the company’s success, which can lead to better decision-making.
Positive Signal to the Market: Directors trading shares (especially buying) can send a positive signal to the market, potentially leading to increased investor confidence and a rise in the company’s share price.

Let’s explore how the High-Speed Rail (HSR) project, if restarted, could benefit Ho Hup Construction Company Bhd:
ECRL Railway Project:
Ho Hup secured two contracts for ECRL Section 6 works, totaling RM102 million in June 20201.
The ECRL project is part of Ho Hup’s mission to expand its Infrastructure division and enhance its ability to tender for new projects.
Involvement in rail infrastructure projects like ECRL provides several advantages:
Business Diversification: Participation in different rail projects diversifies Ho Hup’s portfolio and revenue streams.
Expertise: Rail projects require specialized construction skills, and Ho Hup’s experience positions it well.
Long-Term Contracts: Rail projects typically span several years, ensuring stable income.
Economic Impact: Rail infrastructure stimulates economic growth and connectivity.
Local Job Creation: Construction projects contribute to job opportunities.
Positive Reputation: Successful rail project completion enhances Ho Hup’s reputation and attracts more contracts.
Potential HSR Benefits:
If the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail (HSR) project is restarted, Ho Hup could benefit in several ways:
Contract Opportunities: Ho Hup could participate in the construction of HSR stations, tracks, and related infrastructure.
Revenue Generation: HSR projects involve substantial investment, creating revenue streams for construction companies.
Skills Enhancement: Working on a high-speed rail project would enhance Ho Hup’s expertise in large-scale transportation infrastructure.
Economic Boost: HSR stimulates economic activity, tourism, and regional development.
Collaboration: Ho Hup could collaborate with other firms in consortiums bidding for the HSR project2.
Overall Industry Outlook:
The Malaysian construction industry remains buoyant, with significant projects offered in the first quarter of this year.
Negotiations for other rail projects, such as the Penang Mutiara Light Rail Transit (LRT), are ongoing.
Progress is evident in East Malaysia, with work packages under the Pan Borneo Sabah Highway already awarded2.
In summary, Ho Hup’s involvement in rail infrastructure projects, including the potential HSR, contributes to Malaysia’s development and strengthens the company’s position in the construction sector. 🚄🏗️🌆

Let’s explore how the East Coast Rail Line (ECRL) extension and other rail projects like MRT and LRT can benefit Ho Hup Construction Company Bhd:
ECRL Extension:
The decision to extend the original ECRL alignment from 640km to 665km is a significant move.
The extension connects the ECRL to both North Port and West Port in Malaysia.
Without this extension, the ECRL had no direct connection to any port, resulting in freight cargoes having to stop at Jalan Kastam before being transported by trucks or transhipped by KTM trains.
The new alignment optimizes rail usage and ensures efficient cargo services.
For Ho Hup, involvement in ECRL construction provides business opportunities and contributes to Malaysia’s economic growth1.
MRT and LRT:
While the ECRL primarily serves as a cargo route, urban rail systems like MRT and LRT focus on passenger transportation within cities.
Ho Hup’s participation in MRT and LRT projects can have several advantages:
Business Diversification: Involvement in different rail projects diversifies Ho Hup’s portfolio and revenue streams.
Infrastructure Expertise: Rail projects require specialized construction expertise, and Ho Hup’s experience in infrastructure development positions it well.
Long-Term Contracts: MRT and LRT projects typically span several years, providing stable income for construction companies.
Economic Impact: Urban rail systems enhance connectivity, reduce traffic congestion, and boost local economies.
Local Job Creation: Construction projects create jobs and stimulate economic activity.
Positive Reputation: Successful completion of rail projects enhances a company’s reputation and attracts more contracts.
ECRL Section 6:
Ho Hup received Letters of Acceptance (LOAs) for the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of ECRL Section 6 works.
These works involve the construction and completion of subgrade, drainage, and culvert components.
The project duration is 30 months, starting from June 15, 2020.
By participating in ECRL Section 6, Ho Hup contributes to Malaysia’s rail infrastructure and strengthens its position in the construction industry234.
In summary, Ho Hup’s involvement in rail projects like ECRL, MRT, and LRT not only drives business growth but also contributes to Malaysia’s development and connectivity. 🚄🏗️🌆

Let’s explore the Sabah-MM2H program, which is an exciting initiative for those considering Malaysia as their second home. Here are the key details:
Sabah-MM2H Overview:
The Sabah-Malaysia My Second Home (Sabah-MM2H) program is expected to be implemented in Sabah (one of the states in Malaysia) by next month1.
The program allows foreigners to reside in Sabah on a long-term basis.
The state government has approved several amendments to the program, and once these are gazetted, the terms and conditions will be posted on the program’s website for potential applicants1.
Sabah’s MM2H program aims to attract individuals who wish to enjoy the state’s natural beauty, cultural diversity, and warm hospitality.
Eligibility and Requirements:
The eligibility criteria and requirements for Sabah-MM2H are likely to align with the federal MM2H program but may have specific variations for Sabah.
Participants must meet financial thresholds, demonstrate liquid assets, and fulfill other conditions similar to the federal program.
The age limit for participation in Sabah-MM2H is 30 years and above2.
Participants will be allowed to sell their properties after five years, provided they reinvest in a new home valued at no less than RM600,0002.
Why Sabah-MM2H?:
Sabah offers a unique blend of pristine rainforests, stunning islands, and vibrant cultural experiences.
Participants can explore Sabah’s rich biodiversity, enjoy outdoor activities, and immerse themselves in the local culture.
The program aims to contribute to Sabah’s economic growth and promote sustainable tourism.
For more detailed and up-to-date information, I recommend visiting the official Sabah-MM2H program website1. If you’re interested in participating, keep an eye out for the official guidelines and application process once they are finalized. Sabah welcomes you to explore its natural wonders and make it your second home! 🌴🏠
For further inquiries, you can also reach out to the Sabah Tourism Board (STB) or visit the official Malaysian Immigration Department website3 .

**Ho Hup Construction Company Berhad**, founded in 1960 by Mr. Low Chee, has established itself as one of the largest companies in construction and related services in Malaysia. Let's delve into why Ho Hup is known for its resilience:
1. **Diverse Capabilities**: Ho Hup brings together a comprehensive range of capabilities, including **building**, **civil engineering**, **specialized intelligent building**, **trading**, and related services. Their extensive fleet of modern construction equipment further enhances their ability to tackle diverse projects¹[1].
2. **National and International Projects**: Ho Hup has been significantly involved in **national projects** that have shaped Malaysia's landscape. These include iconic structures like the **Petronas Twin Towers**, the **National Sports Complex**, the **Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)**, the **Light Rail Transit System (LRT)**, and major highways¹[1]. Their contributions extend beyond Malaysia, with successful international projects in countries such as India, Madagascar, Mauritius, China, South Africa, Thailand, and Indonesia¹[1].
3. **Market Leadership**: As a market leader in Malaysia, Ho Hup plays a vital role in major engineering structures, civil engineering, dredging, road building, and infrastructure projects. Their involvement in both private and government sectors spans high-rise intelligent buildings, stadiums, airports, highways, bridges, railways, marine works, oil and gas projects, commercial developments, and deep foundation works¹[1].
4. **Transformation and Adaptation**: Ho Hup underwent a significant transformation in 2009, diversifying its activities into three main divisions: **property development**, **construction and civil engineering works**, and **ready mix**.

It’s a disturbing phenomenon if our political leaders think that our young people are that paloi (stopid) and that they must always be “guided” by those in power and their bungled policies.
Ever wonder why our education system is in one hell of a mess today?
‘NO’ TO VIOLENCE
I can agree for Sarawak to send humanitarian aid to the innocent victims of war in Gaza just as we had contributed to those affected by other calamities in different parts of the world in the past. That is the right thing to do but we should know where to draw the line.
I will conclude by stating that I’m very disturbed by our prime minister’s declaration on April 15 that “Malaysia backs Iranian drone attacks on Israel”.
Anwar has described the attack by Iran as a “legitimate act” to the “barbarous” attack by Tel Aviv.
As a Malaysian, I’m worried for my country as it seems that my prime minister has now descended into a warmonger.
I wish to declare that the prime minister does not speak for me, a Malaysian citizen, on this support for the drone attacks. I abhor violence in all its forms and intents.
Somehow, I believe that the majority of Malaysians are sober and realistic in their views about the conflict. Only a section of politicians had gone overboard because Gaza is an extremely popular issue and they know how to cash in politically on the subject.
Let me leave with these words of wisdom:
“For great men, religion is a way of making friends, small people make religion a fighting tool.” - APJ Abdul Kalam, former president of India

COMMENT I wish to pose this very important and serious question to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and his allies in the Madani government.
I’m hopeful for a reply from the ever “caring, helpful and responsible” Madani government, hopefully from its official hotshot information chief, Fahmi Fadzil. I will humbly request a clarification from the communications minister.
My key question is this: Is there an unwritten rule or order somewhere which firmly declares that all Malaysians must support Hamas and denounce Israel? Do we have a choice?
I also wish to see this narrative straightened out. If there are Malaysians who are pro-Israel and make anti-Hamas statements, are they deemed to have committed a “crime”? This is a very disturbing issue which many Malaysians want the government to clarify.
I’m aware that a man was arrested in Johor Bahru last December over his statements supporting diplomatic ties between Malaysia and Israel.
According to the police, the case was being investigated under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act, Section 505(b) of the Penal Code for making statements conducing to public mischief. So far, we have not heard of any update regarding the case.
I know this is a controversial subject that many will avoid talking about but I believe this is an issue of great concern to Malaysians, particularly so when we are of different colour, creed and culture.
The stakes could be high if something goes awry in such a delicate setup. Malaysians are supposed to celebrate their “unity in diversity” hallmark and proudly parade it to the world but today, we seem to be drifting further and further apart.
BE PEACEMAKERS
Something is just not right somewhere.
I do wonder at times if Malaysians are now pushed to the wall and forced to partake in the Middle East conflict, having to stand with Hamas/Palestinians and praying/hoping/wishing that the Jewish race will be wiped off from the face of the earth.
Let me reiterate my stand as an individual and a Malaysian on this Middle East conflict.
My position, from day one (right from the start of this latest war in early October last year), is this and it has not changed:
If Malaysia really wants to help, let us play the peacemaker role and assist in finding solutions. By taking sides, we become part of the problem.
I find it absurd that Malaysia had also called for a ceasefire later in the conflict and also intended to join the UN peacekeeping force.
The prime minister has declared to the world that Malaysia supports Hamas. Once that stand is taken, who will listen to your ceasefire call which contradicts your earlier support for one side in the conflict? Malaysia should have called for a ceasefire at the very beginning.
I’m also not sure that sending our troops for peacekeeping duties at this stage is a good idea, especially after Malaysia has earned the wrath of powerful allies connected with the conflict.
DON’T BE BUSYBODIES
Now, allow me to stress some points, as a Sarawakian. I can say for a fact that in general, Sarawakians are poles apart from Malayans on certain issues, particularly those related to racial and religious extremism.
No, Sarawak does not want anything to do with wars and conflicts involving terrorists, violence and deaths abroad.
As far as I’m concerned, the Middle East crisis has nothing to do with us in Sarawak. If two tribes 8,000km away cannot get along and are bent on killing each other with no intention to make peace for decades, we say good luck to them.
Let us not be busybodies and poke our noses into the affairs of others.
I’m not sorry for sounding a little selfish by highlighting the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government’s slogan of “Sarawak First” in this context.
Why, GPS leaders must have good reasons to think of “Sarawak First”, moving forward. It’s our way of telling Malaya, “Enough lah. We have been taken for a ride for too long. Time to help ourselves.”
I have not heard of even one Malay/Muslim leader in Sarawak talking about the conflict as if it were a matter of life and death for Sarawakians. Shall I say that we are more sober and focused on this matter?
No Sarawakian leader commented on the case of the American professor who was deemed to have offended Malaysia with his pro-Israel statements in his lecture at Universiti Malaya.
I like to think that we, Sarawakians, believe that our students in UM and elsewhere are intelligent enough to decipher whatever views or opinions are thrown at them. Allow them the space to think for themselves.

Kulai, Bukit Jalil, and Kota Kinabalu are considered good potential areas for property investment due to several reasons:
Kulai: Kulai is expected to continue being the top destination for future investments in Johor due to its strategic location1. It has a world-class smart and sustainable development called Ibrahim Technopolis (Ibtec), the data centre hub of Sedenak Tech Park and Senai Airport City1. The state has introduced the Johor Fast Lane, which aims to streamline processes, cut red tape and reduce bureaucracy, making it easier for potential investors to receive swift approval for high-impact projects in the state1.
Bukit Jalil: Bukit Jalil offers some high-rise properties with decent rental yields and a strong potential for future growth234. It is easily accessible and well connected via an existing network of highways such as Bukit Jalil Highway, KESAS Highway and Maju Expressway as well as a vast network of roads3. Other main public transportations include Rapid KL Bus and LRT services via Awan Besar station3. More investors are seen in newer non-landed developments, as they foresee a price uptrend, given the suburb’s good accessibility and potential4.
Kota Kinabalu: It’s worth noting that Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah, is known for its bustling tourism industry, retirement paradise and rich natural resources. These factors contribute to its potential as a property investment hotspot. The city’s ongoing development, improving infrastructure, and increasing connectivity make it an attractive location for property investors.
In conclusion, the strategic location, good infrastructure, accessibility, and potential for future growth make Kulai, Bukit Jalil, and Kota Kinabalu good potential areas for property investment.

Property prices in Malaysia are expected to rise due to several factors:
Economic Growth: A strong economy can lead to increased demand for property, pushing up prices11. As the economy grows, people have more disposable income and are more likely to invest in property11.
Rising Construction Costs: Increasing construction costs are a significant factor contributing to rising property prices11. The cost of building materials such as steel and cement has been increasing11. This leads to higher construction costs, which are often passed on to the buyer, resulting in higher property prices11.
Inflation: We are currently in an inflationary environment that’s at a multi-year, multi-decade high due to supply chain bottlenecks and years of negative to low-interest rates24. Inflation pushes up the value of goods, including property24.
Land Prices: Land price increases widely depending on a range of factors such as land use, local planning regulations, proximity to main centres, whether it is serviced or has the underlying infrastructure, and so on35.
Urbanisation: With the city becoming more populated, new malls, schools, and other amenities are rapidly being built43. This means that apartments and houses are being built nearer to conveniently located amenities43.
Government Policies: Government policies can also affect property prices56. For example, import restrictions on specific construction materials, long-term development plans, the increase in petrol/diesel prices and electricity tariffs, and the imposition of a goods and services tax56.
In conclusion, better economic growth, rising construction costs, inflation, land prices, urbanisation, and government policies are some of the many factors contributing to the rise in property prices in Malaysia.

Ho Hup Construction Co Bhd, a construction and property development company in Malaysia, can improve further by focusing on several key areas:
New Property Launches: Ho Hup can accelerate its profit growth by launching new property projects1. The company has better earnings visibility from its RM1.8 billion property project launches1. The main impact will be seen as the company launches new projects in Kota Kinabalu, Kulai, and Bukit Jalil1.
Expanding Property Development Division: Ho Hup can focus on expanding its property development division to generate profit and cash flow quickly2. The company owns a 60-acre commercial tract within the freehold Bandar Bukit Jalil township in Kuala Lumpur, which has a potential gross development value (GDV) of some RM1.75 billion over the next 8 to 10 years2.
Strategic Project Launches: The company can strategically launch its projects when the timing is right. For instance, with Bandar Bukit Jalil established over the years with an existing surrounding population, the timing could be right for launching the Jalil City project2.
Partnerships with Retailers: Ho Hup is in talks with several hypermarket retailers to set up shop on a 9.2-acre site in Jalil City2. This can enhance property values and attract more buyers.
Improving Financial Performance: Ho Hup can work on improving its financial performance. In the past, the company’s net profit fell, although its quarterly revenue climbed1. By focusing on profitable projects and efficient operations, the company can aim to improve its financial performance.
In conclusion, by focusing on new property launches, expanding its property development division, launching projects strategically, partnering with retailers, and improving financial performance, Ho Hup can improve further. These strategies can help the company to grow and succeed in the competitive construction and property development industry.

The demand for higher-priced properties in Malaysia is influenced by a complex interplay of economic conditions, interest rates, inflation, construction material costs, infrastructure development, and supply and demand dynamics. It is important to note that these variables can differ greatly depending on the location and time.

KANGAR (April 24): The son of a menteri besar is among six individuals remanded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) here to assist in investigations regarding a case of submitting false documents and claims involving RM600,000 over the past two years.

KUALA LUMPUR (April 30): The average price for new apartments in Kuala Lumpur (KL) has surged to RM582,887, which is seen as surpassing the national average and setting a new benchmark in the industry, according to the real estate technology group Juwai IQI.
Meanwhile, the average sub-sale price of houses across Malaysia in the first quarter of 2024 was RM521,614, Juwai IQI said. Both average prices of new apartments in KL and the sub-sale price of homes in Malaysia were slightly higher than the average National Property Information Centre's (Napic) price of RM467,144 in 2023, Juwai said.
New homes in KL are more affordable with an average price of RM708,462, as compared to sub-sale homes in KL with an average price of RM801,557, said Juwai IQI co-founder and group chief executive officer Kashif Ansari in a statement on Tuesday.
“After KL, the three most expensive states for sub-sale homes are Sarawak, Sabah and Johor. The next three most expensive states for new home sales are Johor, Sabah and Kedah,” he said.
Terengganu is the least expensive place for sub-sale homes, with an average price of RM293,714, followed by Perak, Kedah and Pahang.
Melaka, on the other hand, was the least expensive for new units with an average price of RM305,463, followed by Pahang, Perak and Kelantan.
“Most purchases occur in the lower price ranges. Just over half of new unit buyers paid RM500,000 or less in the first quarter (of 2024). Only about one-quarter of buyers paid more than RM750,000 for their new unit. In the sub-sale market, you see a similar distribution, with nearly half of buyers spending RM500,000 or below,” he said.
Meanwhile, the average interest rate for a new housing loan was 4.2% at the end of the year, Kashif said, citing Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).
“If a buyer puts down RM30,000 on a RM300,000 home, their monthly mortgage expense would be RM1,228 per month. That makes buying an affordable home significantly cheaper than the average rental, which is RM1,975. Buying an affordable home would save you RM747 per month, compared to paying the average rent,” he added.
