Investors are puzzled why the company keeps so much cash for. If it doesn't know what to do with the cash, then it should distribute it out as dividends.

Many good hotels available for sale, provided the price is right. In the past few years we saw Ytl scooping up some hotels

If Keck Seng really wants to buy some hotels, it could have done so at the height of the pandemic when you could get them at fire sale prices.

JOHOR BARU: Johoreans of all races must work together to achieve the state's vision to be developed by 2030, says Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

The Johor Mentri Besar said the Year of the Dragon would be a good year for the state, especially with His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, taking the reign as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

"This year, we have all kinds of plans for Johoreans as we strive to realise our vision of making Johor a developed state by 2030.

"Soon, the Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link) will be completed, and we will also have a special economic zone (SEZ). These developments will bring positive growth to the state's economy.

Positive developments in JB! Properties n industrial land will sell well! Good for KSeng!

Posted by prudentinvestor > 1 month ago | Report Abuse

Keck Seng has no dividend payout policy. It still made over 20 sen a share in 2019 but failed to pay the final dividend for that year when Covid 19 struck in early 2020. Keck Seng investors didn't receive any dividend payment for two years. Genting Berhad and Genting Malaysia lost hundreds of millions during the pandemic but they continued to pay dividends totaling more than 10 sen yearly to investors.

With huge investments pouring into Johor Bahru and the opening of the RTS at end 2026, Keck Seng's property division is expected to do very well in the coming years. Whether these translate into better dividends or not is anybody's guess.

Posted by Diamond7 > 1 month ago | Report Abuse

The Johor Bahru property market is set for an upturn, with the announcements of new projects and government initiatives over the past quarters, according to KGV International Property Consultants (Johor) Sdn Bhd executive director Samuel Tan when presenting The Edge Malay­sia | KGV International Property Consultants Johor Bahru Housing Property Monitor 4Q2023.

The initiatives include the proposed Special Financial Zone (SFZ) and Special Economic Zone (SEZ); Rapid Transit System (RTS), with construction under progress; High-Speed Rail (HSR), which its revival is being discussed; Johor Bahru-Pontian Bridge, which is nearing completion; Gemas-Johor Bahru Double-Tracked Electrified Rail, which will be completed by 2025; and the preliminary conceptualisation of Light Rail Transit (LRT) from the private sector. Many large-scale foreign direct investments (FDI) in Johor had also been announced.

In January, Minister of Economy Rafizi Ramli and Singaporean Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the proposed Johor-Singapore SEZ.

KGV’s Tan suggests seven proposals for the Johor-Singapore SEZ: a passport-free QR code clearance system at customs on both ends; a digitalised process for cargo clearance; one-stop business/investment service centres in Johor to facilitate the application process for approvals and licences for Singapore businesses to set up companies in Johor; co-organising an investor forum to gather feedback; facilitating Malaysia-Singapore renewable cooperation; curating training and work-based learning initiatives to address talent and skill gaps for relevant industries; and developing joint events between Johor and Singapore to promote trade and investments.

Tan explains: “These initiatives basically streamline processes and enhance communication across levels. Such collaboration facilitates both economies to complement and tap into the strengths of each other. The SEZ could be the model and platform for both countries to combine strengths and compete effectively in the region and globally.

“Overall, the comprehensive and ambitious package of initiatives articulated in recent years have started to take shape and all the jigsaw puzzles are being pieced together. The economy and property market have started to heat up, after almost 12 long years since the last boom in 2012 to 2014.”

Crescendo Corporation Bhd has just disposed of another piece of land in Pulai area, this time to Microsoft Payments (Malaysia) for RM132.47 million or RM120 per sq ft. Keck Seng has over 600 acres of development land in the area. Imagine how much this piece of land is worth if it fetches the same price as Crescendo's land. This is only a very small part of what Keck Seng possesses.

The completion of the JB-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) by early 2026 will be a significant game changer for Johor's property market.

JOHOR BARU: Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi aims to integrate Forest City into the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JSSEZ) to boost its economy and revival.

"We anticipate a surge in Forest City economic activities in the near future with the initiatives the state government has planned for its revival."

He said the state government planned to breathe new life into Forest City by including the US$100 billion project by Chinese developer Country Garden in the JSSEZ.

He said having Forest City, which has Special Financial Zone (SFZ) status, be part of the JSSEZ would be a game changer with domino effects for Johor.

"It will increase cross-border labour activities and investment flows."

Forest City's SFZ status with tailored incentives and regulations will foster financial innovation and entrepreneurship, making it a global hub for finance and trade.

Onn Hafiz said one of the initiatives in the works is establishing the one-stop Iskandar Malaysia Facilitation Centre in Forest City.

The centre will serve as a vital link between government agencies, businesses and investors and will cut red tape.

"The centre will expedite decision-making and unlock the full potential of Forest City's economic opportunities," Onn Hafiz said.

Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing has agreed to hold the Asean Tourism Forum between Jan 19 and 25 next year at Forest City.

This will showcase its potential as a premier destination for tourism and hospitality.

Onn Hafiz said promotion strategies, business package offerings and logistical preparations for international events were discussed at a recent meeting with Forest City representatives.

Forest City vice-president Syarul Izam Sarifudin said discussions were held with the Finance Ministry to realise the tax incentives under the SFZ.
