Business Summary The Guthrie Group’s brand name and origin dated back to 1821 when it was founded by a Scotsman, Alexander Guthrie. Between then and 2007, the group engaged in a diversified business which included trading. Since 2007, Salim Group and Putra Masagung, CEO and Chairman, jointly hold majority stake in Guthrie GTS. Currently, the Guthrie Group has diverse interests in several industries both locally and in the Asian region. Its 3 main activities are Property Investment & development, engineering and leisure predominantly in Singapore and Indonesia. 1 2. Industry Overview 2.1. Property Development and Management The Property division of the Group has two mainstream activities which are the ownership of commercial and residential assets as well as retail mall management. Some of its investments include a stake in Jurong Point Shopping Centre, the Heartland-Mall Kovan, the new Tampines One and the Jurong Point Shopping Centre 2 cum Centris condominium project. It also provides mall management services for Tiong Bahru Plaza, Century Square, Hougang Mall, White Sands, Liang Court and Central Plaza. Wisma Nusantara, a 30-storey office tower in Jakarta, Indonesia is owned by the Group and in Singapore its flagship commercial property is Guthrie House. Despite government efforts to cool property demand, property price indexes of residential, office, retail and industrial properties hover near their respective historical highs.1 Recent key real estate statistics released for 2Q2012 suggest that property markets are cooling, but at a slower pace than expected. Further decline in residential prices is highly likely, considering the highest ever recorded supply pipeline of 83,251 private residential units, of which about 46% remains unsold as of 2Q2012. Furthermore, in Dec 2011, the government, in a bid to cool investment demand, raised stamp duties for foreign buyers and 2nd home purchasers. Negative impact on property prices include tightening on immigration policy. Collectively, profit margin for this sector is likely to weaken for developers. The coming wave of business opportunities should be on construction and redevelopment of existing infrastructures. Multiple factors such as geographical position, supply of human and technological resources and pro-business environment make Singapore a desirable location for small- medium enterprises to grow, as well as a prime target for multinational companies to set up regional office here. Given the tight supply of office space in CBD and central Singapore, the high office rental rate would drive cost-conscious smaller companies seek offices outside central region but with easy accessibility across Singapore and to the airport. As can be seen in Chart 1, office and retail spaces remain tight in Singapore market. 1 URA, July 27, 2012, Property Price Index by Type of Property, http://www.ura.gov.sg/pr/graphics/2012/pr12-79a6.pdf 2 Chart 1: Occupied Commercial Properties In Thousand sqm Nett 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 2010 2011 2011 Q1 2011 Q2 2011 Q3 2011 Q4 2012 Q1 2012 Q2 Occupied Office Space Available Office Space Occupied Shop Space Available Shop Space Source: URA, Jul 2012 Shopping and dining out are activities much-enjoyed by Singaporeans and tourists alike. Instead of going to city center, retail malls at the heartlands boost many international and established brands. These malls offer similar dining and shopping pleasures. Characteristics of a mall with high volume of visitors include location near MRT station, having multinational retail brands and restaurants at the heartland mall, themed events, highly-maintained washrooms and spacious walkways. With good visitation, mall owners could collect higher rental revenue from leasing shop spaces and a percentage of sales made. As more heartland malls are being built, the success of a mall is likely to be determined by the management of a mall to source for unique stylized events, over and above managing turnover of tenants. 2.2. Engineering The Group's Engineering arm is well-established in its field. It has an extensive track record in the mechanical and electrical (M&E) engineering domain and offers diversified products and services to the industrial, building and infrastructure sectors. It has provided engineering products and services to many public and private enterprises. Upgrading of existing infrastructures and new construction works remain robust in Singapore as increasing emphasis is placed on developing efficient and environmentally sustainable projects. Such infrastructure demands drive Singapore engineering landscape to innovate. Leveraging on experience, local engineering companies may take on projects overseas to expand their expertise regionally. According to EDB Factsheet 2011, engineering services accounts for 1.2% of Singapore’s GDP and the sector is expected to grow 5-6% 3 annually till 2020.2 Non-process engineering and architectural services such as installation of wall partitions, electrical and power cable transmissions are likely to remain strong, given the pressing demand for technologically-efficient buildings and urban living solutions. 2.3. Leisure The Leisure division owns several hotels and a golf resort in the region. In Indonesia, its hotel assets are the Hotel Nikko in Jakarta, the Novotel Coralia Benoa in Bali and the Indah Puri Golf Resort in Batam. The Group also owns the Novotel Vientiane in Laos. The global tourism landscape is likely to contract given the pessimistic macroeconomic outlook as Eurozone sovereign debt crisis and US fiscal cliff play out. However, intra-regional tourism in ASEAN is well-supported as the cost of travel between cities becomes increasingly affordable to suit different categories of travelers. With the exception of Malaysian tourists, currency exchange rates had helped in our tourism receipts from other nationalities, according to 1Q2012 data released by Singapore Tourism Board (STB). 3 Evidently, occupancy in gazetted hotels across most of countries also shows year-on-year increase from 2010.4 3. Porter’s Five Forces Guthrie has 3 main distinctive revenue reporting units. Each revenue reporting unit faces different competitive strengths and weaknesses, as a whole, I would attempt to assign a rating to each of the five forces below. Rivalry among Existing Competitors: Med- Strong Singapore land area is small but has many established property developers such as City Development and Keppel Land. Guthrie is relatively new to property development arena with project DBSS Adora Green at Yishun, generating a return on capital of about 9.63%.5 Similar DBSS project at Bedok Belvia by seasoned CEL Development has an estimated return of 2 EDB, Engineering Services Factsheet 2011, http://www.edb.gov.sg/etc/medialib/downloads/industries.Par.47067.File.tmp/Engineering%20Services%20Factsheet.pdf 3 STB, First Quarter 2012. Malaysians Tourism Receipts to Singapore fell 11% while overall tourism spending upped 7% y-o-y. https://app.stb.gov.sg/Data/news/3/c7f1734f2e7b3ea403e447de4a566ed2/tourism%20performance%20quarterly%20report%20- %20q1%202012.pdf 4 Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy using Central Statistic Board Figures, Indonesia, Dec 2011. Average Bali, Jakarta and Riau Archipelago classified hotel occupancy increased 3.65%, 2.06%, 3.41% from 2010, respectively. http://www.budpar.go.id/userfiles/file/RORDec2011.pdf 5 Cost of project is $340m and expected revenue (from 168 x $350k, 510 x $470k, and 128 x $580k) is $372m. AR2010 and www.adoragreen.com.sg 4 9.25%.6 As housing supply increases in the coming years, profit margin for this segment would likely be driven lower. Guthrie competes in the office and retail space rental in which they face strong competitions from Frasers Commercial Trust, Lend Lease and CapitaMall Trust (CMT). With Singapore’s retail mall space estimated to be at 24.3 million sqf 7 , Guthrie manages (direct/indirect) approximately 4 million sqf. In the same report, it was estimated that CMT manages 16.6% of all major shopping centers in Singapore. While CMT and Guthrie have different niches- central and heartland respectively, it is likely that CMT recognizes the shift in retail spending geography to the heartlands and starts gaining market share in the heartlands. Separately, Frasers Centrepoint Trust manages many heartland malls and is a larger player in this field than Guthrie. For the Leisure business, Guthrie recognizes strong competitive environment in their overseas properties, in particular Indah Puri Batam Golf Resort. New entrants and existing competitors are eyeing a piece of the emerging middle class golfers and an aging affluent class. Its leisure properties targeting business travelers at Jakarta, Bali and Vientiane is likely to face stiff competition as many existing hotels and resorts offer business facilities. Threat of New Entrants: Low- Med Strong barriers exist for new entrants. A new entrant would have to convince the owners of its ability to generate a steady and attractive property income. Being able to undercut existing mall managers in management fees may not be convincing for the owner as inexperienced or failed mall management is costly.

  • Malaysianisation and the Barlow Boustead Estates Agency
    Malaysianisation and the Barlow Boustead Estates Agency Rob Glew and Chander Velu Institute for Manufacturing Department of Engineering University of Cambridge Abstract The Malaysian government’s approach to soft nationalisation through the New Economic Policy did not involve coerced sale of foreign investments in the country. The Government formulated its policy on an ‘expanding cake’ theory, where the prospect of gains from economic growth would be offset by the loss of control by the sale of equity to local and indigenous investors. This study examines the complex corporate divestment undertaken by a major foreign-owned agency house in Malaysia, the Barlow Boustead Estates Agency (BBEA) in response to the New Economic Policy. Documents in the Barlow family archive at the University of Cambridge reveal how the Malaysian government’s policy of reducing foreign ownership in the economy led to competition among foreign investors to retain ownership up to the allowable limits. Such competition created an unattractive environment for foreign capital and eventually led to ‘default nationalisation’. The owners of BBEA were eventually opted to sell to Government-backed institutional investors, although they had no legal obligation to do so. Keywords: Malaysia, Nationalisation, Business, Palm Oil, Plantation, Foreign Investment Forthcoming in the Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1 Introduction The nationalisation of foreign owned businesses under Malaysia’s New Economic Policy (NEP), the affirmative action programme has received a lot of attention among scholars (Gomez 2009; Gomez and Jomo 1999). However, how foreign owners reacted and took decisions to comply with the nationalisation rules of ownership has been scarce in the extant literature.

  • Guthrie's 'Dawn Raid': a Malaysian Nationalistic Coup?
    Guthrie’s ‘Dawn Raid’: A Malaysian Nationalistic Coup? Abstract In the wake of the recent mega plantations merger in Malaysia (Kumpulan Guthrie Berhad, Golden Hope Berhad and Sime Darby Berhad) and the controversy over Bumiputra corporate equity, the historical event known as the ‘Dawn Raid’ acquires a new relevance in the ongoing debate about Malaysia’s New Economic Policy (NEP). Thus, this paper examines Permodalan Nasional Berhad’s corporate takeover of the Guthrie Group on the 7 September 1981. The takeover of the premiere British-owned agency house by a Malaysian parastatal and its ramifications have received little academic coverage despite the Dawn Raid’s economic significance in the context of the history of developing economies. Discussion of the Dawn Raid triggers a poignant debate on the subject of economic nationalism, national sovereignty, and Bumiputra corporate equity participation and whether such moves to strengthen sovereignty and local equity participation form a pre-requisite for developing economies, or whether they are in fact rooted in antagonism and ultimately hinder economic growth. This paper attempts to trace the impact of the event on an emerging economy, as well as on post-colonial relations between Britain and Malaysia. Furthermore, this paper, through a detailed account of the landmark event, sheds light on economic nationalism in Malaysia during the 1970s and 1980s, and details the consequences of the NEP and of social and economic restructuring in a post- colonial situation. Four perspectives are drawn upon while dissecting the motivations for the Dawn Raid and its impact on the Malaysian economy. The first perspective is from a nationalist and in particular an economic nationalist viewpoint (Hobsbawm, 1992; Mayal, 1990; Holmes & Meir, 1983 and Wheatsheaf, 1986).

  • 1 European Plantation Firms and Malaysia's New Economic Policy
    European Plantation Firms and Malaysia’s New Economic Policy since 1970 Sue Martin University of Hertfordshire Business School College Lane, HATFIELD AL10 9AB, UK [email protected] Paper for IEHA Congress 2006, SESSION 94: Foreign Companies and Economic Nationalism in the Developing World after World War II Introduction This paper focuses on the confrontation between foreign plantation firms and the Malaysian state under the New Economic Policy since 1970. Using company archive material from one firm, United Plantations, which successfully established a new modus vivendi, the paper compares this case with several others for which professional business histories are also now available, and for which outcomes were different.1 Within the developing world, Malaysia was relatively late in adopting policies of economic nationalism, and even under the New Economic Policy developed in response to the communal riots of May 1969, the government maintained a strong aversion to forced expropriation.2 There was space for foreign owners to negotiate, to find local allies and to co-operate with them in constructing new and sustainable systems of shared ownership and management. The paper examines how and why the strategies developed by the British agency houses differed from those of three firms which, even during the colonial period, had substantial elements of non-British ownership: the Anglo-Dutch Unilever, Franco-Belgian Socfin and Scandinavian United Plantations. It is already well known that most of the British agency houses which had dominated the plantations sector during the colonial period chose to resist change. Some succumbed to hostile takeovers, while others adopted a strategy of reluctant compliance and gradual disengagement, making a series of deals transferring their shareholdings to Malaysian parastatals and private buyers.3 What is less well known is that Unilever, Socfin and United Plantations continued to operate successfully with sustained European involvement until the turn of the twenty-first century.
