Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

  • Malaysia- Kuala Lumpur- Office Q3 2020
    M A R K E T B E AT KUALA LUMPUR Office Q3 2020 YoY 12-Mo. Record Economic Contraction in Q2 Chg Forecast Malaysia’s economy shrank by 17.1% y-o-y in Q2 2020, a worse than expected outcome. This was the first contraction since the third quarter of RM6.03 2009, and the steepest fall since the fourth quarter of 1998 Asian Financial Crisis. The sharp downturn reflects the dire impact of domestic and global Average Asking Rent (MYR/sf/mo) measures taken in Q2 to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the closure of non-essential businesses and social distancing implemented. Tourism, manufacturing and investment were among the primary sectors hit by the lockdown imposed in the middle of March. Some -1.31% sectors are still struggling to cope in the aftermath of the suspension of economic activity during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period. The Rental Growth (YOY) Government has also announced the extension of the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) from August 31 to December 31 in response to a resurgence in new daily cases. 22.7% Vacancy Rate Leasing Activity Remains Stagnant Source: IVPS / Cushman & Wakefield Research Office leasing demand in Kuala Lumpur remained sluggish at the end of Q2. The situation is expected to persist, with most firms adapting to a new normal of staff working from home or rotating between remote and in-office working. With office spaces under-utilized, more firms are anticipated to reduce their leased space to match their office needs, or to relocate to reduce their occupier costs where possible.

It is the largest public/private real estate development venture in Malaysia. The project’s major landmark, the PETRONAS Twin Towers, undoubtedly will remain the development’s primary anchor. The towers were officially declared the tallest buildings in the world in 1998. The KLCC project is being constructed in phases over many years. The master plan shows a total of 22 separately titled development parcels surrounding a 20-hectare (50-acre) park. Seven parcels either have been developed or are under construction in 2004. The success of KLCC was seen from the outset to be of national interest. The owner and developer—KLCC Holdings Berhad, an unlisted public company whose largest shareholder is Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), the Malaysian national petroleum company—is responsible for the development and coordination of new projects undertaken directly or in joint venture with other firms. FEATURES World’s tallest twin towers, connected by a two-story skybridge Large-scale, multiphase, mixed-use, master-planned redevelopment of a prime center-city site The largest public/private real estate venture in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur City Centre Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Project Type: Mixed Use/Multiuse Volume 34 Number 09 April–June 2004 Case Number: C034009 PROJECT TYPE Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) is a master-planned, mixed-use development encompassing 40.5 hectares (100 acres) of prime land in the middle of Malaysia’s capital city.
