(“Mah Sing” Or “Company”) Proposed Joint MAH SING GROUP BERHAD (“MAH SING” OR “COMPANY”) PROPOSED JOINT DEVELOPMENT OF A PARCEL OF PRIME LAND ALONG JALAN TUN RAZAK, KUALA LUMPUR MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 4.08 ACRES (WHICH FORMS PART OF THE APPROXIMATELY RM9 BILLION 58-ACRE RIVERSIDE URBAN REGENERATION PROJECT), BY MAH SING’S WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY, GRAND PAVILION DEVELOPMENT SDN BHD WITH ASIE SDN BHD AND USAHA NUSANTARA SDN BHD 1. INTRODUCTION The Board of Directors of Mah Sing (“ Board ”) wishes to announce that its wholly- owned subsidiary, Grand Pavilion Development Sdn Bhd (“ Grand Pavilion ”), had on 2 August 2011, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“ JVA ”) with Asie Sdn Bhd (“ Asie ”) and Usaha Nusantara Sdn Bhd (“ Usaha Nusantara ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Asie, for the proposed joint development of a parcel of prime leasehold land situated along Jalan Tun Razak measuring approximately 4.08 acres held under Lot P.T. 76, Seksyen 47, Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur (“ JV Land ”) (“ Proposed Joint Development ”). Under the terms of the JVA, Usaha Nusantara shall grant Grand Pavilion the sole and absolute right to undertake the development of the JV Land for an entitlement of RM106.60 million to be settled 60% in cash (RM63.96 million) and 40% by way of issuance of shares in the share capital of Grand Pavilion. Grand Pavilion, Asie and Usaha Nusantara shall collectively be referred to as “JV Parties”. The JV Land is in Precinct 2 - Pekeliling of the River Corridor Development under the Blue Corridor policy of Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020, forms part of the privatized urban regeneration project of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Flats (or commonly known as the Pekeliling Flats) whereby Asie has been granted the concession rights and approvals for a mixed development comprising residential and commercial properties and community, leisure, recreation and infrastructure facilities on 15 parcels of development land together with 5 air rights (“ Concession Land ”). The JV Land is ready for immediate development as demolition works, soil investigations and partial earthworks have been completed thus enabling fast turnaround time for the project. These substantial time and cost savings fit in well with the Group’s quick turnaround business model . Based on preliminary plans, the JV Land is proposed for a niche development with an estimated GDV of approximately RM900 million, tentatively called M Sentral comprising flexible sized and more affordable serviced residences as there is strong demand due to lower entry prices, as well as some retail units. There is also a provision for a sky bridge’s connection to the balance of the 58-acre land, in line with the understanding that Mah Sing may be the potential joint venture partner for other parcels within the Concession Land subject to terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon. Given Mah Sing’s strong execution track record, any discussions to tap on the synergy that can be derived from a comprehensive master plan based on similar concept and arrangements for other parcels of land under this privatized urban regeneration plan could be worked out as both parties continue to establish a strong relationship. 1 Grand Pavilion will be submitting to the relevant authorities for approval on the proposed development plan. Subject to authorities’ approval and fulfillment of the conditions precedent herein, the proposed development is expected to commence by the first half of 2012 and to be developed over a span of 5 years. Awareness programme and registration of interest for M Sentral are expected to commence in second half of 2011. 2.

Work on the RM4.6 million Titiwangsa LRT and Monorail integration project with Masjid Jamek and KL Sentral stations has already commenced and a future MRT has also been planned for Titiwangsa. With an estimated total gross development value (GDV) of approximately RM9 billion, this sizable 58-acre land slated for urban regeneration is even bigger than the entire Midvalley City.

In terms of education, there are numerous local and international schools in the vicinity such as the Alliance Francaise de Kuala Lumpur, a renowned French language school which is a mere 3.5 km away from the JV Land and Fairview International School. The location and proposed development components of the Concession Land are in Appendix I. 2.4 Proposed development of the JV Land The Concession Land (including the JV land) has been granted approvals for a mixed development comprising residential and commercial properties and community, leisure, recreation and infrastructure facilities. The JV Land is currently vacant and ready for immediate development. Based on preliminary plans, the JV Land is proposed for a niche development with an estimated GDV of approximately RM900 million, tentatively called M Sentral comprising flexible sized and more affordable serviced residences as there is strong demand due to lower entry prices, as well as some retail units. There is also a provision for a sky bridge’s connection to the balance of the 58-acre land, in line with the understanding that Mah Sing may be the potential joint venture partner for other parcels within the Concession Land subject to terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon.

    Light Rail Transit Stations Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Architect: Arkitek Kitas Sendirian / Tay Kiam Seng Client: Sistem Transit Aliran Ringan Built Area: 60’190 m² Cost: n.a. Kuala Lumpur’s first two light rail transit (LRT) lines were built on a limited budget. The c 27 miles of track serve 25 stations, many of them in challenging situations spanning over the river or existing roads. The design concept is based on the traditional Malay ‘wakaf’, or wayside rest-stop - a simple exposed timber structure with open sides and a layered roof. In the LRT stations this is translated into an exposed structure with minimal brick or concrete masonry walls and a layered roof consisting of metal decks supported by large-span tubular steel members. 3198.MAL 2007 Award Cycle 2007 On Site Review Report 3198.MAL by Hanif Kara Light Rail Transit Stations Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Architect Arkitek Kitas Sendirian / Tay Kiam Seng Client Sistem Transit Aliran Ringan Design 1994 - 1996 Completed 1998 Kuala Lumpur Light Rail Transit System Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia I.

  • The Construction and Demolition Waste Management in Malaysia: the Life Cycle Assessment Analysis Approach to Sustainability
    The Construction and Demolition Waste Management in Malaysia: The Life Cycle Assessment Analysis Approach to Sustainability Mah Chooi Mei September 2017 Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science Division of Environmental Science Solid Waste Management Research Laboratory ABSTRACT Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) continues to increase in parallel with economic growth in emerging and developing countries like Malaysia. The large amount and improper management of C&DW generated during construction often results in considerable environmental impact. Although much of the C&DW material is inert, non- hazardous, and does not produce greenhouse gases (GHG) in landfill, the amount of C&DW quickly depletes the finite land resources. Notwithstanding legislation (Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act 672) governing solid waste management in Malaysia, C&DW attracts significantly less attention than other forms of waste, such as municipal solid waste and hazardous waste. Malaysia's goals are aligned with UN Agenda on “The Sustainable Development Goals: A Universal Push to Transform Our World” through the current five-year development plan, the 11th Malaysia Plan (11th MP). On climate change, Malaysia is committed to reducing the GHG emission intensity as ratio of its GDP by 45% by the year of 2030. Though the 11th MP only briefly addresses waste management, reusing and recycling of C&DW may contribute to GHG reduction goals, including by reducing the need to harvest new raw material. This waste generation study offers a theoretical method in estimating the C&D waste generation rate by utilizing project site waste records, site survey, and information from waste management plans.
