1MDB to sell 60% of Bandar Malaysia to Iskandar, China group for RM7.4 billion




1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) has agreed to sell 60% of its equity‎ in Bandar Malaysia Sdn Bhd for RM7.41 billion, as part of its rationalisation plan to reduce its RM45 billion debt, it says today.

‎The stake was sold to a consortium comprising Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Sdn Bhd (IWH) and China Railway Engineering Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd, said 1MDB.

1MDB will receive a 10% deposit, or RM741 million, upon the execution of the share sale and purchase agreement, and the transaction is expected to be completed by end of June 2016.

The consortium valued the total Bandar Malaysia land at RM12.35 billion, said 1MDB.

Its president and group executive director, Arul Kanda Kandasamy, previously said the land would cost at least RM11.5 billion.

The IWH-CREC Sdn Bhd consortium is a 60:40 joint venture between IWH and CREC. – December 31, 2015.




Malaysia’s 1MDB to Sell Energy Assets to China Nuclear Firm
1MDB is selling its power plants to China General Nuclear Power Corp. for $2.3 billion in cash

China General Nuclear Power Corp. is purchasing all of the energy assets of 1Malaysia Development Bhd., or 1MDB, for 9.83 billion Malaysian ringgit ($2.3 billion) in cash. Those assets, known as Edra, consist of 13 power plants across five countries from Malaysia to Egypt and Bangladesh. China General Nuclear will also assume an unspecified amount of debt as part of the deal.

The purchase price appears to be below what 1MDB paid for the assets, though the sale could help 1MDB repay some of its massive debt burden. 1MDB’s travails have put Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak in the spotlightwhile hammering investor confidence in the commodities-exporting Southeast Asian nation at a time when it is suffering from fund outflows and falling oil prices.

The pending deal has been highly anticipated because it would help determine if 1MDB did overpay for the assets. The fund paid roughly 12 billion ringgit for the plants in 2012, and valued them at around $4 billion in a planned initial public offering earlier this year.

If Damien Tudehope's COVID hotel quarantine fee statements are correct, SLHD revenue reported in financial statements signed by former CEO Teresa Anderson is overstated, and false

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan                     Tough talking Damien Tudehope may not have the power to impose th.  bulk of his quarantine fee, if any Readers will recall that former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller (now a PwC partner) said in his notice that Revenue NSW " will be charging a mandatory quarantine fee". Readers will also recall that the rormer NSW Minister For Financial Services, Damien Tudehope insisted that the quarantine fees charged by Sydney Local Health District, pursuant to the NSW Health Services Act include charges for police security. However, there is nothing  in the SLHD's financial statements for the relevant periods (see links below) to reflect any payment from the COVID quarantine fee revenue being made over to NSW Police. SLHD's revenue must then have been overstated, by the CEO concerned Teresa Anderson.  SLHD Financial Statements https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/annualreport/Publicat...

Strata managers' aversion to contact with tenants can leave strata managers exposed to personal liability

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Advice for living in, or buying into, a strata community Strata managers are employed to manage strata schemes which are often home to renters as well as owners. However, in evasion of that which they are paid to do there are instances where strata managers have attempted  to evade their duties by refusing to  deal with tenants.   Even this writer can recall an instance where the strata manager warned that it was against the law for tenants to contact him directly.  The instances where strata managers have refused to deal with tenants occur when the issues raised concern fairly pedestrian maintenance issues, for example blocked plumbing and the like. Having said that, tenants do actually have a legal right to a great many things, including being informed (and presumably make representations) when strata schemes consider re-development. Strata managers who seek to stand in place of strata committees  are even more e...
