• The Directors believe the following factors should provide sustainable growth in the real estate sectors of both Malaysia and Vietnam:

• • An increasing standard of living and urbanisation driven by a burgeoning young and middle class population

  • Clear Government role in encouraging participation of private sectors in real estate development, as well as encouraging and promoting land and property ownership

  • Improving availability of mortgages to encourage property ownership

  • Favoured Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) destinations driving demand for commercial and industrial properties
