The successful integration of Elite Pavilion Mall with Pavilion Kuala Lumpur Mall (“Pavilion Malls”) created a seamless shopping experience and enlarged premium shopping space in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. This has added significant value to the Fund’s portfolio. The Pavilion Malls are undoubtedly Pavilion REIT’s crown jewels as they continued to perform commendably. The Manager will continuously strive to distinguish Pavilion Malls as the premier shopping destinations and concurrently develop other malls managed by us as exciting shopping destinations. This is done via careful planning of tenancy mix and upgrading selected common areas as well as facilities to enhance the shopping experience. It is our honour to be continually bestowed with awards by various esteemed organisations and to consecutively receive the Malaysia Shopping Malls Association (PPKM) awards. In conjunction with the Council of Asian Shopping Centre Conference (CASC) in Kuala Lumpur for 2019, PPKM’s annual award was elevated to include CASC countries. Despite the stiff competition, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur Mall received two (2) more awards with a third award by Going Places, bringing the total award accolade cumulated to forty-seven (47), namely:- • Gold Award, Best Experiential Marketing by CASC – PPKM; • Silver Award, Best Experiential Marketing by CASC – PPKM; • Best Shopping Mall by Going Places Readers’ Choice Awards 2018. The awards are testament to our efforts in seeking excellence. We will endeavour to keep our momentum in pursuing excellence as we strive to attain new and higher honours for our malls. Economic Review In 2019, the global economy experienced a broad-based slowdown and higher risk resulting from unresolved trade tensions, policy uncertainties and weakening business confidence. The continued escalation of trade disputes between the US and China caused uncertainties and dragged down the global growth. Prolonged uncertainties of Brexit and unfavourable financial conditions soften growth resulting in a negative global economic sentiment. As a result, the global economy expanded at a more moderate pace, estimated to be 3.2% in 2019 (2018: 3.7%). The regional economies continue to be confronted by headwinds from the global trade slowdown, which further weighed on external demand. Set against the background of a challenging global environment and moderating economic growth, Malaysia’s GDP expanded at a slower pace of 4.7% in 2018. For 2019, Bank Negara Malaysia projected the Malaysian economy to grow between 4.3% and 4.8%. The retail industry performance continues to be affected by both internal and external market environment.

  • Distribution Channels 1)
    24 Aug 2018 Accessing the ASEAN Consumer Market: Fashion and Accessories (Distribution Channels 1) Concept stores, multi-brand stores and department stores, are the dominant distribution channels for fashion and accessories in major cities of ASEAN. Hong Kong fashion brands, designers and exporters may find the right distribution channels which match their product positioning to tap the opportunities in the region. Concept Stores Unlike ordinary apparel shops, concept stores sell well-curated products that match the theme of the store. Handpicked products are pulled together from different brands and designers, and the shop décor is designed with different aesthetic approaches. A concept store usually spans different lines, such as fashion, beauty and homewares, and the display mixes these lines and products together in an attractive manner. A concept store often evokes a lifestyle that appeals to a specific target audience. The products and design of the store tend to change regularly to keep telling that story in new and interesting ways. Many of them offer extra experiential elements, such as a café or events space, which help build a community around the lifestyle they embody. Notable Examples of Concept Stores in ASEAN Indonesia THE GOODS DEPT THE GOODS DEPT is a curated concept store based in Jakarta, Indonesia. The unique and multidimensional retail environment quickly became the hub for alternative fashion and lifestyle products from young, independent Indonesian designers and a selection of international brands. The store houses The Goods Café that brings the relaxed ambiance of the American west coast to the table. The store also features events, such as art exhibitions and film screenings.

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.
