new CEO in 2019, a Malaysian to bring MCT to another level too. KUALA LUPUR: Property developer MCT Bhd announced yesterday that Teh Heng Chong will be its new chief executive officer (CEO) and executive director, effective March 4.
The announcement came after the group announced a slew of boardroom changes on Jan 23, including the resignation of its then CEO, Jose Juan Z Jugo, and chief financial officer Maria Rochelle S Diaz, which took immediate effect.
In November last year, MCT was thrust into the limelight when riots broke out at the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Subang Jaya, over the temple’s relocation from its current site at USJ 25. The land on which the temple is situated belongs to MCT’s wholly-owned subsidiary, One City Development Sdn Bhd.
MCT is 66.25%-controlled by Ayala Land Inc, the property arm of Ayala Corporation of the Philippines.
low interest rate good for property stocks too. We initiate coverage of the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector with a “neutral” recommendation. We believe that while the counters are supported by defensive earnings quality with an attractive average distribution per unit of 4.9%, the yield spread of 150 basis points (bps) against the 10-year Malaysian Government Securities’ (MGS) yield of 3.4% is among (if not) the lowest yield spread vis-à-vis other major REIT markets around the world. In light of a dovish-sounding US Federal Reserve, we believe that Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) could be on the same path of maintaining low interest rates, which should be good for REITs. However, the price run of some counters by as much as 20% year to date suggests that risk-reward is not attractive for now. We like prime shopping mall owners given their sustainable earnings but believe that most positives have been priced in. We initiate coverage of IGB REIT, Axis REIT and Sunway REIT with “neutral” recommendations. For the near term, we expect the demand-supply dynamics of commercial and retail space in Malaysia to continue to be lacklustre given oversupply concerns. That said, we believe selected REITS’ rental earnings should remain resilient given their long-term leases and well-established matured assets. Integrated prime retail mall owners like IGB REIT, Sunway REIT and Pavilion REIT should continue to enjoy high occupancy despite the onslaught of incoming new retail malls. Commercial space, both retail and office, faces oversupply issues in the near term. According to the Valuation and Property Services Department, the average rate of unoccupied office space in the region stood at 23.5% in the first quarter of 2019 (1Q19), compared with 22.6% in 1Q18. We understand that there will be more than 21.53 million sq ft of office space in the pipeline. Upon completion, it will inject another 12% to the current existing space. Similarly, retail supply in the Klang Valley is expected to rise to 69.1 million sq ft in 2019, according to Savills Research, following the completion of 4.8 million sq ft of lettable retail space this year. The incoming retail space is expected to grow by 13.5% to 78.4 million sq ft in 2022 if all 18 projects presently under construction are completed on time, which could worsen the glut. The financial year 2019 average gross yield of Malaysian REITs is at 4.9% against the 10-year MGS’ yield of 3.4%, providing a yield spread of 150bps. In comparison, Japan’s yield spread is 400bps, while Singapore’s is 370bps. — PublicInvest Research, Nov 7

In a statement with Bursa Malaysia today, Chin Hin said its subsidiaries are selling real estate assets to companies owned by Chin Hin major shareholders Datuk Seri Chiau Beng Teik, Chiau Haw Choon and Datin Seri Wong Mee Leng. Wong is Beng Teik's spouse and Haw Choon's mother, according to Chin Hin. "The proposals provide an avenue for the group to unlock the value of its property assets at their market value; and raise cash proceeds which can be channelled towards the group’s business operations. The proposals will also reduce the administrative time and effort required to monitor the properties and will enable the group to focus its resources on its core businesses. "The proposals will enable the group to part repay its bank borrowings, which will reduce the group’s gearing level and improve the group’s financial position with the enhancement of its current ratio; and improve the group’s cash flow due to the lower interest expense. In view of the capital requirements of the group’s operations and financial obligations, the group recognises the need to pursue an asset light strategy and to monetise its non-core assets to raise additional funds to enhance the group’s financial position," Chin Hin said.
Chin Hin said its wholly-owned subsidiary Metex Steel Sdn Bhd is selling its 100% stake in Ace Logistic Sdn Bhd to PP Chin Hin Realty Sdn Bhd for RM20.8 million. Ace Logistic owns two semi-detached factories in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan and two single-storey terrace houses at Taman Wira Mas in Kepala Batas, Kedah, according to Chin Hin. Chin Hin said another wholly-owned subsidiary PP Chin Hin Sdn Bhd is selling shop offices and factories to Midas Signature Sdn Bhd for RM55.65 million. Chin Hin said the shop offices include properties located along Jalan Kuchai Lama here and at Kedah's Taman Bandar Baru Mergong in Alor Setar. Chin Hin said the factories comprise properties in Shah Alam, Selangor and Taman Bandar Baru Mergong. According to Chin Hin, Metex had today entered into the conditional share sale agreement with PP Chin Hin Realty for the Ace Logistic disposal, while PP Chin Hin signed 35 conditional sale and purchase agreements (SPA) with Midas for the disposal of the shop offices and factories.
"In conjunction with the proposed disposal of properties (shop offices and factories), PP Chin Hin will enter into 14 tenancy agreements with Midas for the proposed tenancies of five units of shop offices at Kuala Lumpur, seven units of shop offices at Alor Setar, Kedah and 89 units of car parks at Kuala Lumpur. The tenancies will commence on the day, immediately after the completion of the respective properties SPA. "The proposed tenancy provides the group with certainty that its ongoing business operations will not be disrupted. The proposed tenancy provides for the group to renew the tenancies at the group’s option, which allows the group to continue operating its headquarters at Jalan Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur and its branch offices and warehouse in Alor Setar. "As for the Nilai factory, the tenancy will only expire in December 2020, with automatic renewal up till December 2023, and the option to renew for further five years, ensuring the group’s wire mesh manufacturing business will not be disrupted," Chin Hin said. Midas is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aera Property Group Sdn Bhd, which is is wholly-owned by PP Chin Hin Realty, according to Chin Hin. Beng Teik and Haw Choon, who are directors and major shareholders of Chin Hin, are also directors and major shareholders of PP Chin Hin Realty, Aera Property and Midas. "Wong is the spouse of Beng Teik and mother of Haw Choon and she also has substantial indirect shareholdings in Chin Hin, PP Chin Hin Realty, Aera Property and Midas," Chin Hin said.
included MCT shares transferred . will rebound , also in the government interest. KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 14): Urusharta Jamaah Sdn Bhd (UJSB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ministry of Finance, has completed the transfer of non-performing assets held by Lembaga Tabung Haji (LTH) as a part of LTH's rescue and restructuring plan.
In a statement today, UJSB said the transaction, which was completed on Dec 28, 2018, involved a transfer of assets with a market value of RM9.63 billion from LTH to UJSB in exchange for RM19.9 billion, consisting of two tranches of Sukuk totalling RM19.6 billion and RM300 million respectively in cash payable to LTH.
"The difference of RM10.3 billion between the consideration of RM19.9 billion and RM9.63 billion market value of assets is to be borne by the government to ensure that the financial health of LTH is restored," UJSB said.
It further stated that in the event the value of the assets depreciates further, the losses for the government will be higher than RM10.3 billion.
The assets transferred to UJSB consist of a mixture of listed equity holdings, properties and one unlisted plantation asset.
The property assets transferred to UJSB include a parcel of land measuring 1.568 acres at Tun Razak Exchange (TRX).
"The land was purchased by LTH at RM188.5 million or RM2,760 per square feet, significantly higher than that paid for by 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) at only RM75 per square feet (or RM5.1 million for 1.568 acres)," it said.
The land was then purchased by UJSB from LTH at RM400 million (RM5,856 per square feet), which does not reflect the actual market value of the TRX land.
The purchase consideration was done at a significant premium (112.2%) to what LTH paid in April 2015 (RM188.5 million or RM2,760 per square feet).
"In a recent valuation exercise conducted in March 2019, the market value of the said TRX land stood at only RM205 million.
"The huge difference between the market value and the purchase value of the land (95% premium over market value), together with all the other assets acquired by UJSB, was needed to ensure the successful rescue and restructuring plan of LTH," UJSB said.
UJSB will bear significant losses as a result of impairment charges estimated at more than RM10 billion for the assets acquired from LTH.
It noted that the TRX land transaction itself will result in an impairment charge of RM195 million.
"With the transfer of assets now completed, UJSB will continue with its mandate and purpose, which are to carry out the rehabilitation and restructuring of assets under its care; to maximise asset recovery value; and to redeem all monetary instruments issued by UJSB and subscribed by LTH in a timely manner," it said.

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 21): Malaysia is expected to be on the radar of foreign investors who are seeking a stable market to invest and to operate from, said Malaysian Institute of Property and Facility Managers (MIPFM) president Adzman Shah Mohd Ariffin (pictured).
Hence, he said property and facility managers in the country need to enhance the performance of their buildings in order to meet the demands and expectations of international tenants.
“Moving into 2020, I believe this is the year where the crunch is. Recession has settled in certain countries and there are people who are looking to invest in countries that are stable and I think Malaysia will be on their radar. So, we may see an influx of investors coming in,” he told reporters after the launch of the MIPFM Conference 2019 today.
“They want to see good and well-managed buildings, so I think next year is the year for property and facility managers to equip themselves with all the right knowledge and the latest technology, and to apply them within their buildings, such as malls, offices and industrial complexes in order to improve the performance of their building,” he continued.
He added that with the increasing challenges facing practitioners such as issues related to strata property management, shortage of skilled staff, technological changes, upcoming amendments of the Strata Management Act 2013 (Act 757), new legislation such as the Rent Act and implementation of parcel rent, property and facility managers need to find solutions and keep abreast of market developments.
“With all this in mind, MIPFM aspires to play a more active role in taking the profession to the next level. Moving forward, MIPFM has plans to conduct accreditation courses for practitioners The objective is to promote consistent practice standards and enhance competency among members. We hope that this will help to improve the quality of and value add our services to our clients,” he said.
The Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers Malaysia (BOVAEP) president Khairudin Abd Halim who officiated the opening of the conference concurred, saying that with rising challenges, especially in mixed-use developments and buildings with more advanced and sophisticated features, the country needs more property managers with the right qualifications and skills.
Hence, he urged non-governmental organisations and related bodies such as MIPFM to continue to provide the necessary industry related training and education for their members as well as for the public, particularly on the management of strata properties.
“BOVAEP, under the purview of the Ministry of Finance will continue to play an active role in ensuring [the property management] practitioners are in compliance with the Act [757] as well as the Malaysian Property Management Standards,” he said.
The MIPFM Conference 2019 is themed Enhancing Property Value via Best Practice Solutions. EdgeProp.my is the exclusive media partner.
For the current quarter under review The Group recorded revenue of RM141 million for the current quarter under review, up from RM107 million recorded for the preceding quarter ended 30 June 2019. The increase was driven by the upswing of construction progress for all its ongoing projects as the Group is gearing up to handover more than 3,000 units across four projects before the end of the first half of 2020. The Group recorded sales of RM128 million for the current quarter under review, up from RM115 million for the preceding quarter ended 30 June 2019 as the Group launched Park Place I @ Cybersouth which recorded take up rate of 20% as at 30 September 2019. During the current quarter under review, the Group’s gross profit margin improved from 33% to 40% arising from savings in construction cost for Skypark @ Cyberjaya which was completed in 2018. The Group also completed the RM47 million disposal of land for development in Cyberjaya which recorded a gain on disposal of RM5 million for the current quarter under review. Total expense for the current quarter under review was at 26% of total revenue, in-line with 28% recorded for the 9 months period ended 30 September 2019. Due to the loan from the Company’s ultimate holding company of RM200 million, the Group recorded unrealised foreign exchange loss of RM2 million for Q3 2019. Consequently, the Group recorded profit after tax of RM18 million for the current quarter under review.
Prospects for the next financial year Under the recent Budget, it was announced that foreigners can now purchase overhang properties priced from RM600,000 onwards, which was reduced from the RM1 million threshold previously. Whilst such measures served to stimulate the property market, it would not affect the Group materially as the Group’s inventory of completed properties priced above RM600,000 is minimal. Nonetheless, with the Group’s experience in residential development, the outlook for the Group is positive given that the Group is planning several key launches at the Cybersouth project by the first quarter of 2020. The focus will remain at residential properties that are priced between RM250,000 and RM750,000, with some commercial units to complement the completed projects. The Group’s landbanking efforts in 2018 will also bear fruit in 2020 as the Group is targeting to launch the first phase of the newly acquired land in Subang Jaya by the first half of 2020.
