PETALING JAYA: Singapore's Temasek Holdings Pte Ltd and its unitCapitaLand Malaysia Pte Ltd will enter into an agreement with Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Bhd (IWH) today to buy a man-made island measuring about 28.33ha at Danga Bay for about RM800mil. Those in the know said that IWH unit Iskandar Waterfront Sdn Bhd (IWSB) would also be party to the acquisition, and the three parties would jointly develop the 28.33ha into a mixed integrated development, comprising high-rise buildings and landed homes complete with a shopping mall and food and beverage outlets, to be completed over the next few years. The total cost of the land and the integrated development was likely to cost RM8bil, they said. A joint venture has been formed for this deal between CapitaLand Malaysia, IWSB and Temasek, with the Singaporeans taking the bigger share. This is the second largest tract of land that is being sold by IWH in less than two months after China's Country Garden bought 22.26ha for RM900mil in December. In total, IWH would have sold about 242.81ha thus far. It is the master developer of a waterfront city at the southern tip of Johor Baru fronting Singapore. IWH has a total land-bank of about 1,618.74ha in that area. This deal with Temasek/CapitaLand signifies the entry of a big Singaporean investor that sees potential in Iskandar Malaysia, the southern economic corridor of Malaysia, and could signal the entry of more Singaporean investors into Iskandar Malaysia. In fact, the premiers of both countries will be witnessing this deal today and also a ground-breaking ceremony for a wellness centre that is being jointly developed by Khazanah Nasional Bhd and Temasek. Khazanah and Temasek are the investment arms of Malaysia and Singapore, respectively. CapitaLand Malaysia is a wholly owned subsidiary of CapitaLand Ltd, one of Asia's largest real estate companies. Temasek has a 40% stake in it. Khazanah and Temasek, via their joint-venture vehicle Pulai Indah Ventures Sdn Bhd, are developing the “urban wellness” project on a 2.02ha site in Medini North and the 84.98ha “Resort Wellness” development in Medini Central. The whole development has a gross development value (GDV) of RM5.2bil. Both the projects, the man-made island and the wellness centre, will have a combined GDV of over RM16bil and these development will be spread over a few years, catalysing construction and other business activities in the state in the process. Those in the know claim that the negotiations for the sale of the man-made island, also known as the A2 island, took almost two years to complete, as both parties were haggling over the price. It is man-made because it is a result of reclaimed land. IWSB is the master developer of over 1,699.68ha at the southern tip of Johor Baru. Of this, 809.37ha make up Danga Bay, a development of 10 flagship projects, including a marina. The other parcels of land owned by IWSB are within the Johor Baru city centre, Tebrau Coast, and also 121.41ha in Desaru. Apart from today's land sale and that to Country Garden, IWH has sold 81.75ha to Australia's Walter Group, 99.15ha to Dijaya Corp and about 10.12ha to the Brunsfield group. The Johor government, via Kumpulan Prasarana Rakyat Johor, has a 40% stake in IWH, with influential businessman Tan Sri Lim Kang Hooholding the remaining 60% via Credence Resources Sdn Bhd. 首相18日官访狮城 马新轻快铁料达共识

（新山5日讯）首相拿督斯里纳吉将于本月18至19日官访新加坡，与新加坡总理李显龙会谈，据悉会谈内容将涉及两国联合落实马新跨国轻快铁系统（RTS）建设计划，以缓和往返新山与新加坡的人流。
消息指出，两国领导人届时将针对这项让各界引颈长盼的轻快铁计划，达成共识，并在缔造双赢的大框架下提升两国之间的交通、通讯、关卡及旅游服务，让两国人民皆能够受惠。
去年2月，纳吉在柔佛古庙游神庆典上宣布上述合作计划，并指轻快铁系统将衔接新山及新加坡，以缓和两国边境日益增加的物流量及人流量。
该项计划不但能解决新柔长堤交通堵塞问题，也成为两国商贸关系的大卖点，预料可吸引不少新加坡企业转移到新山投资，并带动新山的经济发展。
料2018年投入服务马新跨国轻快铁系统预计在2018年投入服务，无疑为依斯干达特区注入一剂强心针。
由于该项计划属于联合建设，涉及单位甚广，两国必须深入研究轻快铁的可行性、效益、风险、工程技术、环境影响、投资及营运开销。
加上其他合作领域，如关税、移民、检疫中心、兴建多用途终站及其他策略性等问题，始终只闻楼梯响，确实的运作方式更是八字还没一撇。
减低对陆路交通干扰 兴建海底隧道最理想
据依斯干达特区发展局总执行长拿督依斯迈依布拉欣在去年11月接受《星报》访问时透露，该项计划共有3个陆路交通系统选择，意即兴建天桥或大道、观景高架桥及隧道。
而他个人认为，兴建海底隧道是最理想的方法，因为海底工程可减低对陆路交通的干扰，但最终的决定权还是交给当局。
兜兜转转近一年，却迟迟没有定案，想必投资者也等得心痒痒，斟酌是否要趁现在把发展视线转移至大马的柔南特区，在本地扩大业务及投资设厂。 本帖最后由 u0508950 于 19-2-2013 12:38 PM 编辑
