Notes from the Field

Iskandar - Malaysia's Shenzhen

Excitement about Iskandar is reaching levels never seen before in Malaysia. This is understandable given that the "Shenzhen of Malaysia" reached tipping point last year. We remain bullish on the growth corridor and advise investors to position for the longer term. Terence Wong CFA

“Iskandar Malaysia performed beyond expectations last year, having breached the RM100bn mark in total committed investments." ─ Dato' Sri Najib Razak, Prime Minister Malaysia

Highlighted Companies CapitaLand CapitaLand recently invested in a mixed development greenfield project at Danga Bay, Iskandar, with an expected GDV of RM8.1bn. This project will take 10-15 years to complete and currently forms only 1% of CapLand's RNAV.

UEM Land UEM Land remains the best proxy for Iskandar due to its huge landbank in Nusajaya and robust property sales from the township. The group owns another 679 acres in Desaru, Johor, which is being positioned to complement Iskandar.

WCT WCT owns 34 acres of land located within Medini in Iskandar with GDV of RM2.8bn. WCT's RM767m contract for infrastructure works in Medini (secured in Jul 09) is almost completed with RM36m worth of works outstanding.

SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS

In this report we analyse Iskandar not merely from the typical property angle but also measure its progress economically and identify other sectors that will benefit directly or indirectly from proximity to the development corridor. Also, we look at Iskandar from the Singapore perspective as their buy-in is critical for its success. For exposure to Iskandar, our top choices include UEM Land, WCT and CapitaLand.

Why the sudden interest?

The Iskandar Malaysia development corridor has been long in the making and can in fact trace its roots to Renong and its Prolink 2020 project in the 1990s. But it was the completion of LegoLand, Puteri Harbour Family Theme Park and several education institutions in 2012 that woke up developers and property buyers on both sides of the Causeway to its huge potential. The recent meetings between the prime ministers of the two countries and the go ahead for the RM30bn high-speed rail project have cemented Iskandar's

position as the Shenzhen of Malaysia. Since Oct last year, Singapore investors have taken the plunge and invested in four multi-billion ringgit projects in Iskandar.

How best to play Iskandar?

Thus far it is the property and construction companies that have benefitted the most from Iskandar. The best proxy has always been UEM Land due to its huge landbank in Nusajaya and the fact that it is the flagship development arm of Khazanah Holdings, the key planner and driver for Iskandar. But there are other winners from the corridor's lift-off, including building material companies given the construction boom, plantation companies with vast landbank in Johor, oil & gas companies on the back of two massive projects in Pengerang as well as Singapore developers and contractors that are making a beeline to Johor and Iskandar.

KEY CHARTS Five flagship zones in Iskandar

Iskandar Malaysia measures 2,217 sq km (547,669 acres) in total and aspires to be a self-contained, sustainable metropolis of international standing. It is three times the size of Singapore and twice that of Hong Kong. There are five flagship zones in Iskandar, namely two that are focused on urban development (Zone A and B) and three that are transport- and logistics-related (Zone C, D and E).

Nusajaya the heart of Iskandar

We believe Nusajaya is the heart of Iskandar. Many of the catalysts projects in Iskandar – including Kota Iskandar, Puteri Harbour, Medini, EduCity, Pinewood Studios, LegoLand, Puteri Harbour Theme Park, Afiat Healthpark, etc – are all located in Nusajaya. UEM Land is the largest land owner in Nusajaya with over 7,000 acres that remain undeveloped.

Investments are ahead of targets

RM bn

Since Iskandar was launched on 4 Nov 2006, its investment value has exceeded the Phase 1 (2006-2010) target by 47.9%. Total committed investments of RM36.8bn in 2011-12 already make up 50.4% of Phase 2's target of RM73bn for 2011-15.

The biggest attraction of Iskandar for Singapore property buyers is price. Singapore property prices are now above their historical highs (up c.45% from 2008), which has prompted the government to introduce stringent measures to curtail investment demand. While average prices at Iskandar have also more than doubled since 2008, current house prices remain 4-8x lower than that of Singapore.

Iskandar - Malaysia's Shenzhen 1. WHY WE THINK ISKANDAR WILL SUCCEED 1.1 Bullish on Iskandar Malaysia After many years of initial skepticism, we started to warm up to Iskandar six years back when we visited Johor for a 2-day tour and saw several major projects, such as Kota Iskandar and Puteri Harbour, beginning construction. We were also impressed by Danga Bay as developments there appeared more advanced than the catalyst projects in Nusajaya. We turned bullish on the growth corridor 3-4 years back when even more projects, such as the Coastal Highway, LegoLand, Puteri Harbour Theme Park/Traders Hotel and education institutions started ground work. We initiated coverage on UEM Land in 2011, by which time we had become a firm believer in Iskandar. We agreed with management that 2012 would be the tipping point year because, simply, LegoLand and the Puteri Harbour Theme Park would attract over a million visitors a year and Nusajaya/Iskandar would be far more visible to the world.

Figure 4: Kota Iskandar, present day

SOURCES: UEM LAND

1.2 10 reasons Iskandar will succeed If we had to summarise and quantify why we believe Iskandar will be a success, we would put it down to the following 10 factors: 1) It was planned by Khazanah Nasional, which has some of the best brains in the country and has a personal interest in making it a success 2) It has the buy-in of the top political leaders in the country as well as of their Singapore counterparts through the joint ministerial committee 3) It is the natural hinterland to Singapore, where costs are far higher, and is within eight hours’ flight from key Asian countries, including China, India and the Middle East 4) The political friendship between the two countries is probably at its highest point in many years with numerous outstanding issues of the past addressed 5) The recently-completed catalyst projects that draw in big crowds - LegoLand and the Puteri Harbour Theme Park - make Iskandar highly visible and exciting 6) Other catalysts, including numerous education institutions, the Johor Premium Outlet and Pinewood Studios, have been completed or are nearing completion 7) There are many more catalyst projects in the pipeline, including the MotorCity, China Mall, Ascendas industrial estate, Danga Bay, Desaru and Pengerang projects, which will keep Iskandar's momentum going 8) Accessibility is being improved significantly through infrastructure projects, including new highways, LRT/MRT connectivity, ferry/MRT connection to Singapore and high-speed rail 9) Hugely successful recent property launches by UEM Land, United Malayan Land, WCT and SP Setia have attracted the interest of other developers 10) Many soft issues are being looked into, including safety (there is a Safety and Security Blueprint) and ease of movement for Singaporeans (there is a proposed Free Access Zone), which will enhance Iskandar's attractiveness

March 18, 2013

2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Going back to the very beginning Iskandar can trace its roots to the Nusajaya township in Johor that began life as the Prolink 2020 project. Prolink 2020 was the brainchild of Tan Sri Halim Saad, the then major shareholder of Renong Berhad (subsequently renamed UEM World). The Prolink 2020 project was conceived in the early-1990s and, at 23,875 acres, was touted as the largest private township in Asia. The landbank came about as part of the construction of the Malaysia-Singapore Second Crossing as the highway connecting the North South Expressway to the second bridge to Singapore cuts through Prolink 2020. At that time, the township was estimated to have a GDV of RM8bn-9bn and a population of 500,000 when completed within 20 years. There were grand plans for the township then, including the development of duty-free shopping and education institutions. We first visited the Prolink 2020 project in mid-1997, shortly after the maiden launch of Nusajaya on 14 April 1997. Even then, launches in the township were well-received, with a three-day queue for the official maiden launch of 600 mixed development units. Demand for link houses priced RM193,000-350,000 was strong as 216 non-Bumi units were fully sold out on the day of the launch. Likewise, SP Setia’s maiden launch of the 1,600-acre Bukit Indah township in Nusajaya (land which Renong sold to SP Setia) during the first week of May in 1997 was also well-received. Of the 850 link houses priced RM200,000-250,000, approximately 85% of the non-Bumi units were quickly snapped up.

2.2 Khazanah comes into the picture The 1997/98 Asian financial crisis caused major disruptions to the Malaysian economy, including to Renong and the Prolink 2020 project, which eventually led to the ownership of Renong and UEM Holdings changing hands from Tan Sri Halim Saad to Khazanah Nasional. Under Khazanah, the Renong-UEM Group underwent several restructuring exercises, which resulted in Nusajaya being listed under UEM Land Holdings in 2007. Via UEM Land, Khazanah emerged as one of the largest development land owners in Johor, which probably led to it taking on an enlarged role in the planning of the entire Iskandar Malaysia. In 2005, Khazanah became the planner for the Iskandar Malaysia development corridor. Iskandar was one of five development corridors launched in 2006 under the 9th Malaysia Plan but was arguably the most important. In addition to its planning role, Khazanah was identified to play an investment role for catalyst infrastructure and development projects, such as the Johor State New Administrative Centre, the Southern Johor Industrial Logistic Cluster, Waterfront City, Medical Hub, EduCity and a proposed international destination resort. These initiatives were to complement the many existing and ongoing developments in the state, such as the Port of Tanjong Pelepas, Senai Airport, Danga Bay and Johor Corporation.

2.3 Iskandar Malaysia as we know it Previously known as the Iskandar Development Region, Iskandar Malaysia measures 2,217 sq km (547,669 acres) in total and aspires to be a self-contained, sustainable metropolis of international standing. It is three times the size of Singapore and twice that of Hong Kong and covers the southern part of Johor from the Senai Airport to the eastern and western coastal areas, including the capital of the state, Johor Bahru.

Figure 5: Iskandar Malaysia’s geographical coverage

SOURCES: IRDA

Iskandar Malaysia’s five main strategic pillars are: 1. International rim positioning - Iskandar is located mid-way between China and India and is 4-8 hours’ flight from Bahrain, Delhi, Dubai, Hong Kong, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Shanghai and Taipei. 2. Establishing hard and soft infrastructure enablers - This is not limited to physical infrastructure, such as roads, airports, ports and utilities, but also encompasses security, river cleaning and proper sewerage. Fiscal and financial incentives, human capital as well as efficient and business-friendly institutions are included too. 3. Investment in catalyst projects - This is to spur further economic activity in the region. This includes projects in logistic services, financial services, health and education services, agricultural, manufacturing and leisure and tourism. 4. Establishing a strong institutional framework and the creation of a strong regulatory authority - The Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) represents a joint and coordinated approach between the federal, state and local governments, co-chaired by the prime minister and the chief minister of Johor. 5. Ensuring socio-economic equity and buy-in from the local population - To ensure the local population of Johor will benefit from the development, Iskandar will address the issues of property and equity ownership, local and Bumi participation, business and income improvement and employment opportunities.

Figure 6: Iskandar Malaysia’s strategic framework

SOURCES: IRDA

IRDA was established as a statutory body under the IRDA Act of 2007 and has been appointed as the development authority and a one-stop centre for investors. This includes for planning and land matters, licences and permits, immigration, business set-up and incentives. It is responsible for realising the vision and objectives of Iskandar towards becoming a metropolis of international standing. To facilitate investments into Iskandar Malaysia, IRDA has established the Iskandar Service Centre (ISC) and the Approvals and Implementation Committee (AIC). ISC acts as the principal coordinator and facilitator for approvals in Iskandar while the AIC serves to identify, monitor and coordinate the relevant government entities to expedite the approval and implementation of strategic investments in Iskandar.

Coordinating agent To receive, process and expedite approvals SOURCES: CIMB, IRDA

One of the primary goals of Iskandar is to attract FDI, especially in areas that will boost Malaysia's competitiveness. This is in view of Malaysia's lower labour cost-competitiveness relative to some of its regional peers. The four new sectors of focus that were added to the existing five include healthcare, education, financial and creative industries. Iskandar's industrial plans are aimed at developing it into Asia's premier hub for high technology and emerging technology manufacturers in the electrical and electronics, petrochemicals and oleochemicals, and food and agro-processing sectors. Iskandar's integrated development is guided by the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) 2006-2025. The CDP addresses socio-economic development guided by its main pillars and anchored on four basic foundations and supporting systems. To garner Singaporean feedback for Iskandar, there is also a Malaysia-Singapore joint ministerial committee that meets up occasionally to resolve any issues that may crop up.

2.4 Five flagship zones in Iskandar Malaysia There are five flagship zones in Iskandar. We believe Nusajaya is the heart of Iskandar as that is where Khazanah and UEM Land have a blank canvas to work on and where most of the key catalyst projects are taking place. Nusajaya has been repositioned as a regional city with diverse catalyst developments catering to global market demands. The main advantage of Nusajaya is its proximity to Singapore where land prices and the cost of doing business are significantly higher. The centre of Nusajaya is located 27km or 23 minutes’ drive from Senai International Airport and 31km or 25 minutes from the Johor Bahru city centre to the east and Port of Tanjung Pelepas to the south-west. A toll-free government-funded coastal highway costing RM1bn was completed at end-2011 and cut travelling time to Johor Bahru city centre from 30-35 minutes to only 10-15 minutes. Figure 12: Five flagship zones in Iskandar Malaysia

SOURCES: CIMB, UEM LAND

Nusajaya is in Zone B of Iskandar and is targeted to have a population of 500,000 by 2025. Current economic activities there are focused towards mixed property development, state and federal administration and warehousing. In future, Zone B will be the hub for high-tech manufacturing and biotechnology as well as the creative, medical, education and tourism sectors. UEM Land is the major land owner and master developer of Nusajaya with Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB) playing a significant role too. Key catalyst projects in Nusajaya include the state administration centre, the Southern Industrial & Logistics Clusters (SiLC), the Medical Hub, EduCity, Puteri Harbour, Pinewood Studios and an international destination resort (theme park). More recently, new catalyst projects, including the MotorCity and the China Mall, have emerged. IIB is 60%-owned by Khazanah, 20% by the Employees' Provident Fund and 20% by the Johor state government. IIB's role is to promote, coordinate and invest in strategic and catalytic projects and to engineer public-private partnerships to accelerate and enhance the development of Iskandar. IIB also owns large tracts of land in Nusajaya, some acquired from UEM Land as part of its restructuring exercise.

Zone A in Iskandar is Johor Bahru or the capital of the state. Current economic activities in Zone A are financial services, commerce, retail, arts and culture, hospitality, urban tourism, plastic manufacturing, electrical and electronics and food processing. A multi-modal terminal is being planned for Zone A as well as an MRT/LRT system connecting Johor Bahru with other parts of Iskandar. Danga Bay is also located in the Johor Bahru area and is enjoying strong interest from investors and developers. As the largest recreational park in the city, Danga Bay spans 1,840 acres and will include financial, commercial, residential, lifestyle, leisure and family-oriented developments. A new CBD is being planned for Johor Bahru that would encompass 392 acres and three precincts: 1) Johor Bahru City Waterfront Precinct, 2) Heritage Precinct, and 3) the Business and Central Park Precinct. These plans, however, may be modified. In 2012, Iskandar Waterfront Holdings (IWH) was created to undertake developments in Johor Bahru, encompassing Danga Bay, Johor Bahru city centre and the Tebrau Coast. The site stretches along a 25km-long scenic waterfront facing the Straits of Johor and covers a total landbank of about 3,000 acres. From the Johor-Singapore Causeway, this landbank covers the waterfront of the east, centre and west of the Johor Bahru city centre. IWH will spearhead the transformation of Johor Bahru into a new iconic business destination and towards becoming the single largest integrated urban 13

Zone C in Iskandar is the Western Gate Development and the main activity here includes marine services, warehousing, logistics, engineering, hi-tech manufacturing, food products, petrochemical, entrepot trade, regional procurement centres and utilities. MMC Corp is the main player in Zone C via Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) and the 2,100MW coal-fired Tanjung Bin power plant. Around 700 acres of land in the Free Trade Zone in PTP is available for investment and there are another 2,215 acres at the US$5bn Maritime Centre at Tanjung Bin for investment by oil & gas players. Global players with facilities within the free zone include Maersk Logistics, Schenker Logistics, Geodis International, Naigain Nitto, Nippon Express, BMW Asia Pacific Spare Parts, Flextronics, CIBA Vision, JST Connectors and Cameron International Malaysia Systems. The Maritime Centre will comprise oil terminal activities, drydocks, a shipyard, conventional cargo-handling facilities, logistic parks and real estate development. There is also around 5,400 acres of land available for real estate development for port support services, including a residential section, a logistics office complex and training centre and commercial, industrial and recreational areas.

Zone D in Iskandar covers the industrial and manufacturing hub, including Pasir Gudang Port, Pasir Gudang Industrial Park, Tanjung Langsat Port and Tanjung Langsat industrial complex. Economic activities focus on heavy industries, ports and logistics and warehousing. There is even a motor racing circuit there, the Pasir Gudang Circuit, which is the first international class circuit outside the Klang Valley. Also in the Comprehensive Development Plan is a proposal to build a 59km light rail transit system from Pasir Gudang to Nusajaya. Estimated to cost RM2.66bn, the project’s implementation phase is targeted to span from 2016 to 2020. Zone E covers the Senai-Skudai area where the key economic activities evolve around airport services, engineering, manufacturing and education. Plans for Zone E are to expand into agro and food processing, ICT and retail tourism. Senai Airport is being positioned to become the no. 2 airport in the region after Changi by 2025. A multi-modal terminal and cyber city will be developed and an MRT/LRT system built to connect Zone E with other parts of Iskandar. It is estimated that between the Kempas, Senai and Kulai industrial areas, there are over 10,000 acres of land available for investment. Figure 17: Cyber cities in Iskandar Malaysia

2.5 Other key areas in Iskandar Malaysia Beyond the five flagship zones in Iskandar, there are several areas that are important features on their own. These include the coastal areas in Johor and the Free Access Zone in Nusajaya. The Johor coastal areas offer prime waterfront development opportunities. It would be an attractive new feature of the city and provide public spaces for a growing population. Again, it is uncertain how much of the original plans will be kept and how much modified due to the emergence of IWH. Nonetheless, the original plans estimated that 100 acres of parks and open spaces would be created. This area would connect Johor Bahru city with Danga Bay. Plans include the reclamation of 250 meters of land to create a new shoreline. As for the proposed Nusajaya Free Access Zone, it was originally slated to be located just off the western part of the second crossing and measures 1,029 acres. The plan was to create a seamless work and living environment between Johor and Singapore where there are no limitations on duration of stay and access. A smart card system will facilitate moving in and out of the area and the plan is to attract Singaporeans to live in the zone and commute to work in Singapore. Direct access to the zone from neighbouring areas would be strictly controlled and a 30m bund would be created while a canal 30m in length would be built along this bund for retention and security purposes.

2.6 Infrastructure in Iskandar Malaysia To facilitate development of Iskandar, there are plans for LRT, MRT, tram, monorail and even ferry transport. This is to alleviate road traffic congestion and to complement public transportation. The LRT is to provide intercity connectivity while the monorail is to serve the CBD of Johor Bahru. A high-speed rail linking Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru is also on the cards and recent reports have indicated suggestions that the stop be in Nusajaya. Another proposal is to link the Singapore MRT system with Iskandar, which is forecast to be completed by 2018. The international ferry terminal in Puteri Harbour has just been completed and will facilitate the arrival of Singaporeans.

Another issue of critical importance to Iskandar is safety. The Safety and Security Blueprint was completed and endorsed in 2009 and assists the public sector, private sector and the community to cooperate in building a safe environment. IRDA has been working closely with the Royal Malaysia Police to ensure safety is continuously addressed and crime reduced. Some of the actions taken since 2007 include increasing police presence in Iskandar, designating new police districts and reinforcing existing districts, launching additional beat bases, introducing high profile mobile policing, establishing a special task force for investors, installing CCTVs at hot spots and augmenting police presence with auxiliary police.

2.7 Developments near Iskandar Malaysia Massive property and oil & gas developments taking place in Desaru and Pengerang, which lies east of Iskandar, will also spur developments in the state. Recall that in mid-2012, UEM Land acquired a 51% stake in 679 acres of leasehold land in Desaru, Johor, from its parent Khazanah for RM247.5m, valuing the land at RM16.40 psf. The Desaru landbank is located in the Desaru coastal area in the eastern part of Johor and is accessible via the 27km Senai-Desaru Expressway, which was completed in mid-2011. It is also accessible via sea from the Changi ferry terminal in Singapore. There are ongoing plans to develop Desaru into a world-class resort and tourism destination comprising golf courses, a retail village, convention centre and themed attractions. GDV of the 679-acre project is estimated at RM5.4bn. Development of the project is expected to take 20 years. The land UEM Land acquired is located next to two major golf courses that will be constructed by Khazanah. UEM Land will develop residential properties priced at a fraction of other 6-star resort developments in the vicinity. The 679 acres are merely one portion of the 6,000 acres that Khazanah owns in the Desaru area. Other portions will be developed by internationally-renowned resort companies. A water theme park covering 40 acres will also be built. The Desaru project makes sense as it is a catalyst project in Johor that will complement Iskandar and add breadth to the entertainment offerings of the region. As for the development of Pengerang, please refer to the section of this report titled "Oil & gas perspective" for details. Figure 23: Desaru

3. ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE 3.1 Iskandar - a growth-catalytic corridor All through the last six years since 2006, Iskandar has defied gravity to deliver impressive development progress, becoming the country's fastest growing corridor. Nine major economic clusters have been picked to spearhead and fast-track the corridor, with services and manufacturing sectors leading the pack. The Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) has set 20-year macro and investment targets to transform Johor into a world-class state. Since Iskandar was launched on 4 Nov 2006, its investment value has exceeded the Phase 1 (2006-2010) target by 47.9%. Total committed investments of RM36.8bn in 2011-12 already make up 50.4% of Phase 2's target of RM73bn for 2011-15.

3.2 Iskandar a boon to Johor and Malaysia We are convinced that the “Iskandar effect” would not only enlarge the economic pie of Johor state in particular but also enhance Malaysia’s strategic position as an investment destination in ASEAN. Iskandar, which accounts for about 60% of Johor’s economy in nominal terms, would act as a prime growth catalyst and complement Johor's overall economic contribution to the Malaysian economy. Johor is the fifth-largest state by land area and now the second-most populous in Malaysia. Iskandar constitutes 45.6% of the Johor population and half of total employment there. The Johor state's GDP size of RM53.2bn is the third-biggest contributor to Malaysia's GDP (9.3-9.8% each year) with 60% coming from the Johor Bahru area. The state’s economy expanded 3.7% p.a. in 2005-10, moderately below the national real economic growth of 4.4% p.a. There is growing international recognition of Iskandar’s position as Malaysia's future engine of growth. In Jul 2012, TIME magazine called it "one of the most ambitious development projects in the world." It praised Iskandar's geographical advantages: with two ports straddling the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea, "it sits at the fulcrum of global trade." In Dec 2012, the New York Times featured Iskandar in an article titled "Massive Education Complex Takes Shape in Malaysia", saying that “Nusajaya’s lush green fields, neatly paved roads and two theme parks will eventually become a second home to more than 16,000 students.” Figure 27: Johor is the third-largest contributor to Malaysia's GDP... % growth

3.3 Catalytic infrastructure and investment on track Skeptics were amazed by Iskandar's boom, engineered by investments from both domestic and foreign investors. The megaproject is on track to be completed by 2025, with about a quarter already completed. Between 2006 and Dec 2012, Iskandar attracted investments totalling RM106.31bn, an exponential jump of 841% from a slow start of RM11.3bn in 2006. YTD cumulative investments are equivalent to 11.3% of 2012’s GDP. On average, total committed investments surged 45.3% p.a. or RM15.8bn a year in 2006-2012. What is most encouraging is that 41.1% of the total committed investments have been spent to-date, resulting in the positive trickle-down on the economy, employment and output. Among the five growth corridors, Iskandar has emerged as the second-largest recipient of committed investment in manufacturing, services and primary sectors as at end-2012. It also generated the most employment opportunities, creating 154,000 new job openings since 2006 until Dec 2012 and making up nearly 19% of its 2025 target of 817,500 new jobs.

3.4 Broad-based and strategic investment We are encouraged that investments in Iskandar are broadening and, hence, refuting expectations that property projects are the prime focus of development. Of the total investments as at end-2012, RM35.1bn or 33% of the total came from the manufacturing sector, RM35.1bn or 33% from properties, RM28.8bn or 27% from utilities, tourism and others and RM7.3bn or 6.9% from the government. We see a good mix of private and public investment, encompassing property, leisure and hospitality, education facilities as well as manufacturing. This underscores Iskandar’s investment vision of becoming a balanced and sustainable growth corridor with a focus on economic growth and inclusive social development. At least 30% of the committed investments in each sector have been realised year-to-date, with the exception of the property sector, which is slightly behind the others. This reflects the longer-term nature of property development projects. Figure 31: Iskandar's committed investments hit new high of RM21.5bn in 2012…

3.5 Investment is predominantly domestic investor-led An array of tax/fiscal as well as non-fiscal incentives is available for approved companies located in the approved node within Iskandar. Amongst the incentives offered include exemption from income tax up to YA2015/2020, exemption from Foreign Investment Committee guidelines, flexibilities under the foreign exchange administration rules and unrestricted employment of foreign knowledge workers. The Iskandar Development Region (IDR)-status companies enjoy income tax exemption for qualifying activities in six categories of service-based sectors: creative, education, financial advisory and consulting, healthcare, logistics and tourism. Local investors poured in more investment in Iskandar than foreigners, facilitated by a conducive investment climate and favourable incentives to draw strategic investment into the targeted industries. Since 2008, domestic investors' share of total cumulative investments jumped from 45.3% in 2008 to 63.8% in 2012 while that of foreign investors stood at 36.2% in 2012 (vs. 54.7% in 2008). Of the total cumulative foreign investments of RM36.5bn as of July 2012, Singapore had pumped in the most at some 16.6% or RM6bn, followed by Spain (11.5% or RM4.2bn) and Japan (9.4% or RM3.4bn).

Major local investors include Tenaga Nasional Bhd, Telekom Malaysia Bhd, MMC Group, Iskandar Waterfront Development, Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Central Malaysian Properties Sdn Bhd, IOI Properties and SP Setia Group. The notable landmarks and attractions in Iskandar are the Johor Premium Outlet, EduCity, LegoLand Malaysia, colleges and medical facilities as well as healthcare centres. Iskandar has also positioned itself as one of the strongest emerging contenders in the international market of foreign students. Iskandar Investment Bhd has signed up to 10 education institutions to set up local campuses in the 395-acre EduCity. Marlborough College Malaysia, Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia, Netherlands Maritime Institute of Technology, Raffles University Iskandar, Raffles American School and University of Southampton Malaysia Campus have already started full-time operations and the remaining institutions are expected to start by 2017. Among the latest committed investments are for the creation of a motorsports city, nanotechnology-based industries, mixed development areas, prime waterfront properties, a trade and exhibition centre, communications and ICT infrastructure and a global innovation centre. The biggest beneficiary of the fast-track implementation of infrastructure and catalytic projects in Iskandar is the broad property sector. We saw established local and foreign developers starting to build residential, commercial and industrial properties as well as integrated townships and shopping malls. Going into 2013, key focus sectors will be healthcare, creative (indications are that Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios will open in May 2013) and logistics, including business process outsourcing (BPO) and shared services outsourcing (SSO). We expect the oil & gas and food and agro-processing (including halal) sectors to spearhead growth in the manufacturing sector.

3.6 Johor-Malaysia-Singapore connectivity As the natural link to Singapore (and its close proximity to the Iskandar project), Johor's growth is an indication of the positive “Iskandar effect”, which would 1) spin off vibrant economic and investment connections within Malaysia, and 2) drive a greater flow of investment and services as well as people between Malaysia and Singapore. Iskandar’s image as a thrilling growth corridor in the region has created a lot of interest and excitement among Singaporeans given the island economy’s close proximity to Johor Bahru. A new trend appears to be emerging as more Singaporean citizens opt to stay here and travel to Singapore for work. The growing as well as enhanced bilateral ties between Malaysia and Singapore will provide an added growth stimulus to the development of Iskandar. The latest game-changer announcement of the construction of a high-speed rail (HSR) link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore marks a new era of enhanced connectivity between the two countries, which will create greater economic activity on both sides of the border. Improving mobility and accessibility will lead to increased employment opportunities, more economic and investment activities as well as higher demand for services, including for real estate in the two countries and along the HSR stops. The externalities from increased rail, road and sea links between Malaysia and Singapore will spur regional connectivity among ASEAN countries.

3.7 Convincing buy-ins from Singaporean investors In the early days of Iskandar's inception and development, Singapore investors adopted a cautious approach, taking time to assess whether the "mammoth" growth corridor can take off as planned. Now, the astonishing development progress in Iskandar, along with continued strong endorsement from both prime ministers, has changed Singaporean investors' perceptions. It is a win-win situation for both countries. We saw an increase in Singaporean investors' investment in Iskandar, which is a clear signal that rising costs of living and doing business in Singapore, together with higher labour costs, are pushing companies to relocate to Johor as part of their long-term business planning strategies. As of July 2012, Singapore maintained its position as the largest foreign investor in Iskandar, pouring in a cumulative committed investment of RM6bn or 16.6% of total foreign investments in Iskandar since 2006. The manufacturing sector, especially the E&E sub-sector, received the greatest portion of total investments of 78.8% or RM4.8bn, followed by the services sector (RM0.7bn or 11.5%), largely in the education sub-sector. In the services sector, out of three projects invested in by Singapore, more than RM100m of its pledged investments went to healthcare, undertaken by Singapore-listed Health Management International (HMI) into the 218-bed Regency Specialist Hospital on the eastern side of the Iskandar Malaysia region. The other two projects are the proposed Raffles University and Raffles American School. Looking ahead, more strategic investments from Singapore are expected to flow into Iskandar given the increasing growth prospects and investment opportunities offered. The strengthening of bilateral ties is also playing a part to facilitate more two-way economic connectivity between Malaysia and Singapore.

4. PROPERTY PERSPECTIVE 4.1 Johor coming back to life? Johor may be the second-largest property market in Malaysia after the Klang Valley but residential prices in Johor have been the worst performer over the past 10-15 years. Johor's 10-year price CAGR was a pitiful 0.6%, way below even the inflation rate and the country's average house price CAGR of 4.1%. This is due to many factors, including intense competition, oversupply and lack of confidence. Even on the property investment front, Johor suffers from the lowest office occupancy rate in the country and the third-lowest retail occupancy rate. Both office and retail occupancy rates are in the low 70s percentile range. But all of that could change in the coming years. Figure 43: Breakdown of transaction value by location 100%

4.2 Lots of players Property development appears to be the biggest beneficiary of Iskandar and arguably the best way to play the Iskandar theme. There are over 20 listed developers with landbank in Iskandar and investors are spoilt for choice. But for many developers, Iskandar or even the wider Johor exposure makes up a relatively modest percentage of their landbank and sales. The exceptions, of course, are the Johor developers but these companies are relatively small and off the radar screen for most analysts. Figure 48: Existing developments in Iskandar Malaysia

4.3 UEM Land the best proxy UEM Land has arguably the largest and best landbank in Iskandar. UEM Land is the main developer of Nusajaya, which is in Zone B, and there are numerous catalyst projects situated there. There are seven catalyst developments in Nusajaya that will help accelerate the development, namely the Kota Iskandar administrative centre, Puteri Harbour, a thematic industrial park (SiLC), a medical park, an international destination resort, education hub (EduCity) and Medini. The international destination resort, EduCity and Medini developments are held directly by IIB. Figure 49: Nusajaya

SOURCES: UEM LAND

Kota Iskandar administrative centre - The administrative centre for the Johor state government measures 320 acres and Phase 1 has already been completed. Some 2,200 employees of the state government have moved into the offices since Apr 09. Phase 2 covers a mosque as well as state government staff housing while Phase 3 covers the federal administrative buildings. The total GDV for Phase 2 and 3 is RM1.1bn. Puteri Harbour - Puteri Harbour is sandwiched between Kota Iskandar and the Straits of Johor. It measures 688 acres and has 10.8km of waterfront. The theme of Puteri Harbour is waterfront living and it will encompass upmarket properties with relatively high densities. There will be canal homes, condos, marinas, a convention centre, transport hub, resorts and hotels as well as fine dining and lifestyle stores. In total, there will be more than 30m sq ft of net floor space for sale, of which 60% is for residential, 30% for commercial and 10% for retail purposes. Total GDV is estimated at RM20bn and the project is expected to take 13 years to complete, i.e. from 2007 to 2020. A key attraction within Puteri Harbour is the Family Indoor Theme Park that Khazanah built at a cost of RM350m. The theme park was completed in 2012 and features world-renowned and popular children’s characters, including Barney, Thomas & Friends, Hello Kitty and Bob the Builder. The theme park

31


March 18, 2013

measures 60,000 sq ft and other components of the project include a 100,000 sq ft retail centre and a 300-room Traders Hotel. Development of Puteri Harbour has been expedited via land sales and joint ventures. In Dec 2007, UEM Land sold 111 acres of land to its joint venture company with Dubai-based Limitless Holdings for RM242m or RM50 psf. Limitless, which is part of the Dubai state-owned investment group Dubai World, held 60% in the JV company while UEM Land owned 40%. Due to financial difficulties as a result of the global financial crisis, Bandar Raya Development took over the development rights to the 111 acres from the joint venture. Another joint venture in Puteri Harbour is a 50:50 JV with United Malayan Land to develop the Somerset serviced apartments with a retail block. The project has been sold out with pricing hitting as high as RM1,000 psf. In Apr 10, UEM Land sold outright a 3.3-acre piece of land to Encorp for RM26m or RM180 psf that is being developed into a residential and commercial building with GDV of RM330m. Prices at Encorp's condo have set new benchmarks in Puteri Harbour of over RM1,000 psf. In mid-2011, UEM Land sold a 3.2-acre piece of land for RM31m or RM220 psf to Tiong Nam Logistics to develop a hotel and serviced apartments. In Jan 2013, UEM Land sold 44 acres of land in Puteri Harbour for RM401m or RM210 psf to Liberty Bridge Sdn Bhd, which is equally owned by Multi-Purpose Holding's Tan Sri Surin Upatkoon, KL Kepong's Tan Sri Lee Oi Hian, Tan Sri Wan Azmi Wan Hamzah and chairman and managing director of UOB-Kay Hian Holdings Ltd Wee Ee Chao. The pricing of the land appears to be relatively low due to its large size and lower plot ratios. UEM Land stands to reap significant profits from this land sale that will be recognised in 2013. UEM Land has launched two wholly-owned projects in Puteri Harbour since 2011. In end-2011, UEM Land launched the Imperia condos, which were priced at an average of RM725 psf. At end-2012, the group launched the Teega condos, which are of slightly lower specifications but branded under the Sunrise name, and managed to fetch a higher average of RM750 psf for the first two towers and RM800 psf for the final tower. UEM Land plans to embark on two more projects in Puteri Harbour in 2013. Southern Industrial & Logistics Clusters (SiLC) - SiLC measures 1,300 acres and is a managed industrial park based on the clustering concept. The industrial park is expected to take 33 years to complete with a GDV of around RM1bn for land only. UEM Land will promote “clean� industrial clusters around three major areas, including 1) advanced technologies of nanotech and biotech, 2) agro-based industries of food and nutrition, and 3) integrated logistics. Phase 1 and Phase 2A covering 275 acres have already been completed and UEM Land is now undertaking works on Phase 2B and Phase 2C with an additional land of 332 acres. Most of the buyers thus far have been Singapore-based companies. Afiat Healthpark - The medical park spans only 67 acres and will primarily serve the healthcare needs of the local population. It is an integrated development with three distinctive areas covering modern medicine, traditional and complementary medicine and wellness. International destination resort - The international destination resort space covers 3,321 acres and will be the site for large international theme parks. It will be anchored by an international theme park with a strong brand name and supported by well-known hotels as well as retail, dining and entertainment facilities. We believe that success in securing a major theme park would go far in accelerating the development of Nusajaya and the spillover to the rest of Iskandar would be very significant. EduCity - The 395-acre EduCity will be a fully-integrated education hub consisting of world-class universities, industry-centric R&D clusters, colleges, international schools and amenities. GDV of EduCity is in excess of RM1bn over seven years. It is estimated that the student population will hit 16,000 by 2018. The Netherlands Maritime Institute of Technology (NMIT) Maritime Studies 32

JB City Campus and the medicine faculty of Newcastle University started operations in 2011. The University of Southampton engineering faculty and Marlborough College commenced operations in 2012. EduCity also has a 12,000-seating capacity stadium and sports complex on 22 acres of land as well as an international student village. Medini - Medini is a major catalyst project and considered one of the flagships of Nusajaya. An agreement was signed on 29 Aug 2007 between IIB and 1) Mubadala, the investment company of the Abu Dhabi government, 2) Kuwait Finance House, and 3) Millenium, a member of the Lebanon-based Saraya Holdings Group. Medini measures 2,200 acres and a 99-year leasehold interest was transacted for US$1.2bn or over RM43 psf. Medini will be developed into a US$20bn integrated city made up of three clusters consisting of nine distinctly-themed zones. Significant incentives were granted by the government solely for Medini, including 1) exemption from Foreign Investment Committee rules, 2) freedom to source capital globally, 3) the ability to employ foreigners freely, 4) exemption from income taxes for 10 years from commencement of business, and 5) exemption from withholding tax on royalty and technical fee payments to non-residents for 10 years from commencement of operations. These incentives are available only for the creative, education, financial advisory and consulting, healthcare, logistics and tourism industries. Medini is a mixed-use urban development which will feature a lifestyle and leisure cluster, a logistics village, “creative park” and an international financial district. It is divided into four zones, i.e. Medini North, Iskandar Financial District, Medini Central and Medini South. Significant progress has been achieved at Medini and infrastructure works are being undertaken by WCT, costing RM767m. In addition to being awarded the infrastructure works in Jul 09, WCT also acquired two parcels of land in Medini, a residential one costing RM61m and measuring 11 acres (RM127 psf for the land and RM30 psf based on GFA) in Oct 09 as well as a 10-acre commercial parcel costing RM50m (RM115 psf for the land and RM30 psf based on GFA) in Dec 10. The RM750m LegoLand Theme Park sits on 76 acres and is one of the key attractions in Medini. The theme park was completed last year and is expected to attract 1.2m-1.5m visitors annually. Another major development in Medini is E&O’s joint venture with Khazanah and Temasek to develop a RM3bn wellness township. Other projects in Medini include UEM Land’s 55%-owned Lifestyle Retail Mall next to LegoLand, WCT’s RM600m 1 Medini condo and the Medini Square joint venture with Bina Puri. A LegoLand-themed hotel and Phase 2 of LegoLand is under construction. Temasek will also build and own two office buildings in Medini. Another major project in Medini is the Gleneagles Medini medical centre to be built on 15 acres of land. The hospital will provide a comprehensive and fully-integrated healthcare service platform. Phase 1 will have a 300-bed capacity while future phases will include a rehabilitation centre, nursing home and hospital residency. Phase 1 is targeted for completion in 2014. Adjacent to Medini is the RM400m Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios, a collaborative project between Khazanah and UK-based Pinewood, located on 80 acres of land. The plan is to develop a world-class media production facility to produce a variety of movies and animations. Phase 1 involves 30 acres of land and is targeted for completion this year.

Other residential projects in Nusajaya - UEM Land has five residential projects in Nusajaya that are not part of the catalyst projects. This includes East Ledang, Horizon Hills, Ledang Heights, Nusa Idaman and affordable housing. East Ledang was launched in Feb 2008 and is a 275-acre project for the development of high-end guarded and gated residential properties. East Ledang has a GDV of over RM1bn and will take 6-8 years to complete. Nearly 60% of its buyers are foreigners, mostly from Singapore. Horizon Hills is a 50:50 joint venture with Gamuda. The upmarket project spans 1,227 acres and has a GDV of RM4bn. Ledang Heights measures 360 acres and is located next to East Ledang. It was one of the first projects launched in Nusajaya by the group in 1998. Nusa Idaman is a medium- to high-end hillside development and was launched in 2006. The project measures 250 acres and features precinct-based communities with a single entrance-exit and perimeter fencing. The project has a GDV of slightly over RM0.5bn. There are two social housing projects under affordable housing: Taman Nusantara measuring 650 acres and R10/R11 measuring 193 acres. Affordable house prices are regulated by the state government and start from as low as RM35,000 per unit. Margins are generally narrow, if not negative. Other recent developments - Last year UEM Land's 4,500-acre Gerbang Nusajaya development finally took off. Translated as "Gateway to Nusajaya", Gerbang Nusajaya is the first development that those driving from Singapore via the second crossing will pass through after customs and immigration. The project is conservatively estimated to have a GDV of RM18bn. UEM Land believes that Gerbang Nusajaya could rival, if not exceed, UEM Land’s current flagship Puteri Harbour in terms of potential. The key strategy behind Gerbang Nusajaya is to attract Singaporeans and create jobs. 34


March 18, 2013

Figure 51: Gerbang Nusajaya

SOURCES: UEM LAND

The masterplan for Gerbang Nusajaya was undertaken by a Singapore-based company in order to attract Singapore buyers and the focus is on activity-based retail. The idea is to leverage the abundance of cheap land in Nusajaya to provide retail elements not found in land-scarce Singapore. There are several key components, including an industrial park, an auto test track and China Mall. Towards the end of last year, these projects started to materialise. In Oct 2012, UEM Land entered into a 40:60 joint venture with Ascendas Land (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd to develop a RM3.7bn 519-acre integrated technology park in Gerbang Nusajaya. The land was sold to the joint venture company at RM13 psf. This project is slated to take off this year and should help attract Singapore businesses to Iskandar. In Dec 2012, UEM Land entered into a memorandum of understanding with China Mall Holdings Pte Ltd to develop China Mall, a trade and exhibition centre. Also that same month, UEM Land entered into a 30:70 joint venture with FASTrack Autosports Pte Ltd, a company controlled by Singapore billionaire Peter Lim, to develop 270 acres in Gerbang Nusajaya into a RM3.5bn Motorsports City. The land was sold for RM223.5m or RM19 psf. The proposed development will consist of showrooms, automotive retail, workshop, test track, go-kart track and all other automotive-related trades and activities with emphasis on 4S, i.e. sales, service, spare parts and system.

4.4 Other developers under our coverage Nearly all developers under our coverage with the exception of UOA Dev have exposure to Johor. Even UOA Dev was eyeing landbank in Iskandar but will only venture there at the right price and right location. In terms of landbank, UEM Land has by far the biggest exposure to Johor at 8,426 acres, of which 7,166 acres is in Nusajaya. A distant second is SP Setia with over 1,000 acres of landbank spread throughout seven projects in the state. Several of its projects are located within Iskandar and the group's Bukit Indah Johor township is part of Nusajaya. For many years now, SP Setia was the dominant developer in Johor and in FY10/10, the group chalked up a record RM1.35bn in new sales. Figure 52: Breakdown of land bank (acres) Kuala Lumpur

Last year, however, UEM Land for the first time took over the lead as the top selling developer in Johor and racked up RM1.8bn in sales. This came mainly from its East Ledang, Horizon Hills and Teega projects. In fact, 73% of its new sales in 2012 came from Nusajaya and only 27% from outside Johor. This shows that demand in Johor, particularly Iskandar, is really taking off. SP Setia is very bullish about Iskandar and president and CEO Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin said during its FY12 analyst briefing that "it is boom town Charlie" for Iskandar over the next five years. SP Setia's bullishness is not surprising given the very strong demand for its various products. Last year, SP Setia's project in Johor Bahru, Setia Sky 88, chalked up a record for Johor Bahru condo prices. The RM750m project achieved average prices of RM900-1,400 psf, unheard of in Johor Bahru at that time. Despite the steep prices, the response to the project was overwhelming and take-up rate is 100%. Many buyers were Singaporeans.

Under our coverage, Mah Sing is a further distant third in terms of sales from Johor in 2012 as new sales from the state was only RM250m. But with its new condo project in Medini, Mah Sing is targeting to achieve RM609m in new sales from Johor in 2013. Mah Sing acquired the 8.2-acre land in Medini in Oct 2012 for RM75m or RM209 psf. The leasehold land has a plot ratio of 6x while GDV is large at RM1.1bn. The project comprises residential properties priced around the RM550-600 psf range, retail and commercial space as well as a hotel. Mah Sing plans to launch the project in 2H13. Figure 55: Mah Sing's Meridin@Medini

E&O will be the new comer to Johor in 2013 and will soon launch its RM3bn wellness project. The project is a joint venture between E&O, Khazanah and Temasek. The 210 acres was acquired in mid-2011 at a cost of RM350m or RM38 psf, are leasehold (99 years + 30 years) and payments will be made in three tranches. The development does not have any Bumiputera or foreign buyer quotas and come with tax incentives. The township will include a peat reserve with walkways for residents and a water retention pond that will be beautified. Residential properties there will be gated and guarded and E&O's main target market is Singaporeans.

In Iskandar, Sunway owns three landbanks, which have a total size of 1,858 acres (48% of total landbank). Two plots measuring a combined 1,770 acres are located in 1) Medini South (691 acres) and was purchased in 2011 for RM745.3m, and 2) Pendas Region (1,079 acres), comprising Pendas North and Western Pendas South (779 acres) and Eastern Pendas South (300 acres). The total purchase price was RM597m (RM12 psf). Total GDV for Medini South is RM12bn over 10 years. First launch (RM300-400m GDV) is targeted for end-2012 or early-2013. It will be a mixed development consisting of a hotel, serviced apartments, office lots and retail shops. The Pendas Region land plots have a total GDV of RM18bn over 15-17 years. It will offer a mixed integrated development with a commercial-residential split of 65:35 and could also offer other amenities, such as hospitality, healthcare and education facilities and theme park. First launch is likely a year from now, pending the finalisation of the development's masterplan. Sunway holds a 60% stake in this venture while the balance 40% is held by Iskandar Asset Sdn Bhd (IASB). Figure 57: Sunway's land in Medini and Pendas

5. PLANTATION PERSPECTIVE 5.1 Johor is the largest palm oil-growing state in Peninsular Malaysia As the country’s third largest state, Johor is the largest palm oil-growing state in Peninsular Malaysia. Approximately 14% (714,130 ha) of the total planted palm oil estates in Malaysia are located in Johor. As large land owners in the state, listed Malaysian planters could be among the key beneficiaries of the strong property demand and rising land values in Johor thanks to the success of the Iskandar development.

5.2 Malaysian planters turned property developers

The sharp rise in land and property values in the Klang Valley in the mid-90s spurred many plantation companies to expand into property development to unlock the value of their land banks. This has led some to view plantation companies as an alternative play to the property sector in the mid-90s during the property boom. The Malaysian planters quickly moved up the ranks in this space, and have today emerged among the largest and most profitable property developers in Malaysia. Some have also since spread their wings beyond Malaysian shores to Singapore, UK, China and Australia.

5.3 Which are the planters with property exposure?

Four of the seven listed plantation players under our coverage in Malaysia are involved in the property sector. Among the four, IOI Corp derives the highest portion of its earnings from property, followed by Sime Darby, KL Kepong and Genting Plantations. IOI Corp and Sime Darby have been among the biggest beneficiaries of the property boom in the Klang Valley in the 1980s and 1990s. The property arms of both companies used to be listed separately in the past. However, these listed property arms have since been merged with other group companies or taken private. IOI Corp took IOI Properties private in 2009 while Sime UEP was merged under Sime Darby in 2007. Figure 59: Planters with property exposure under our coverage Company

5.4 Planters’ earnings track record in property sector IOI Corp stands out for consistently delivering a 46-56% EBIT margin for its property segment over the past ten years. Sime Darby's property profit margins are lower. However, Sime's property division used to generate the highest property earnings among the planters until IOI Corp overtook them recently. Genting Plantations and KL Kepong's property divisions are significantly smaller in terms of earnings contribution relative to those of Sime and IOI Corp. However, their property activities have shot up recently. In the case of Genting Plantations, it was driven by higher Johor property and industrial land sales. In the case of KL Kepong, it was due to the launch of the 1,000 acre Bandar Seri Coalfield project in April 2011. Figure 61: IOI Corp - Property division's EBIT and EBIT margin EBIT (LHS)

5.5 Planters with exposure to Iskandar

Zooming into Johor, and specifically Iskandar, we identify IOI Corp and Genting Plantations as the planters with the largest land banks in Zone E of the Iskandar region. Sime Darby is also a slight beneficiary due to its 30% stake in E&O which has exposure in Iskandar through its Medini Integrated Wellness Project. Sime Darby also has plans to develop its Pagoh estates (outside of Iskandar) in Johor into a township development. Other identified plantation companies with Johor land banks but are not under our coverage include Tradewinds Plantations, Kulim, Kim Loong, TH Plantations, United Malacca, and Kluang Rubber. FGV is excluded as a potential beneficiary as its land is leased for the purposes of plantations only. Figure 65: Companies with plantations and property landbank in Johor Company

5.6 IOI Corp's property exposure in Johor

IOI Crop’s property arm IOI Properties’ maiden venture into property development in Johor was through the launch of Bandar Putra Senai in 1985. This project is a comprehensive township development covering an area of approximately 2,299 hectares (5,680 acres) which is envisaged to span over a period of 25 years with a total sales value of RM8.7bn. In 1996, the group launched the development of Bandar Putra Segamat, followed by Taman Lagenda Putra, Taman Kempas Utama and The Platino. In December 2001, the group opened the RM50m IOI Mall in Kulai. Today, the group has three townships in Iskandar Malaysia which include Bandar Putra, Taman Lagenda Putra and Taman Kempas Utama. It also has a property project in Segamat (not part Iskandar), and is developing a service apartment "The Platino" project in Johor. Figure 66: IOI’s Johor property projects – details Project

5.7 The key IOI Corp property projects in Johor Bandar Putra, Kulai is the largest of the three development projects in the Iskandar region. Bandar Putra covers approximately 6,000 acres of freehold land and is a fully comprehensive regional township located within the boundary of the Senai-Kulai township. The projected gross development value (GDV) for this project is around RM8.7bn and the group has developed around 67% of the land area converted for development of about 2,299 ha (5,680 acres). In 2012, this project accounted for 29% of its total units sold and 19% of its total sales values. Taman Lagenda Putra, a 91 ha (225 acres) development, is located next to Kulaijaya toll gate and Jalan Kulaijaya-Pekan Nanas/Pontian Road. It is close to Second Link Expressway and North-South Highway. The project is just a short distance away from Senai International Airport while Johor Bahru city centre is 35 minutes away via Skudai Highway/North-South Highway. It is also located next to the proposed Kulaijaya-Senai Bypass. This is the smallest of the three projects that are located in the Iskandar region. This project makes up 10% of the total units sold by the group and 4% of total sales value. Figure 68: Location of Bandar Putra, Kulai

The group's second largest and newest township project in Iskandar, Johor is Taman Kempas Utama. Launched in 2007, the project covers 119 ha (294 acres) and has a gross development value of RM2.5bn. This project is located next to Kempas Toll and opposite Starhill Golf and Country Club and is 15 mins away from Johor City Centre. It has also designated as an integrated public transporation hub for Iskandar Malaysia, which means the proposed Rail Transit System and High Speed Rail System linking Malaysia and Singapore will be located close to the township. This project contributes around 6% of the group's property sales value and 5% of units sold. Other on-going projects by the group in Johor include the Bandar Putra Segamat, a 6,000 acre township development in Segamat, and The Platino, a serviced apartment project located next to the Skudai highway.

5.8 IOI Corp's sales track record in Johor Our tracking of the group's historical sales achievement in Johor revealed that activity in this space have increased over the past three years, thanks to higher new launch activities, better selling prices which we believe is tied to the improved demand for properties in Johor following the opening of new facilities in Iskandar region. A tabulation of the average selling price per unit achieved at its Johor projects showed the selling prices for some projects have doubled over the past five years.

5.9 Highest property sales exposure to Iskandar Based on our analysis, IOI Corp has the highest property exposure to Iskandar among the listed planters today. In FY11, the total sales value achieved by its Johor projects of RM282m was higher than Genting Plantations’ RM158m. However, the net land area available for future development in the Iskandar region of 832 ha (2,056 acres) was smaller than the land bank size of Genting Plantations of 2,659 ha (6,571 acres). We expect Johor to remain a significant contributor to the group's future property earnings in view of the strong interest in Johor properties. The carrying value of IOI's remaining property land area in Johor for township development varies from RM3 - RM33 per sq. 45


March 18, 2013

ft. Assuming we revalued some of the land to RM20 per sq. ft, we estimate this will raise the group's NBV of RM2.06 per share by RM0.23 per share (11%). Figure 76: IOI's property sales value in Johor and % of contribution to total sales (FYE June - RM m)

5.10 Genting Plantations' property exposure in Johor Genting Plantations has two township projects in Johor known as Genting Indahpura in Kulai Johor and Genting Pura Kencana in Batu Pahat, Johor. It also owns a 50% stake in Johor Premium Outlet, Malaysia's first Premium Outlet through its JV with the Simon group. Genting Indahpura is a 7,000 acre integrated township development with a mix of residential and commercial properties located near the town of Kulai and in zone E of the Iskandar region. The township is easily accessible from major highways and is 10 mins away from Senai International Airport. Genting Pura Kencana Sri Gading is the newest real estate project from Genting Property and is located near the town of Batu Pahat (outside the Iskandar region). This project can be reached from the North-South Expressway, and is located near amenities such as a hypermarket, malls and tertiary institutions. In December 2011, the group opened the first premium outlet in Malaysia through its joint venture with the Simon Property Group. The Johor Premium Outlet (JPO) is located near its Indahpura project. The investment for the first phase of the project which has over 175,000 sq. ft. of retail space was RM150m. 46


March 18, 2013

The group has recently announced plans to add another 100,000 sq. ft of retail space which will result in a further investment of RM50m. The outlet was a success and turned profitable during the first year of operations. Figure 78: Genting Plantations’ Johor property projects - description Project

5.11 Expect higher sales from its Johor projects The opening of JPO has also helped boost sales for the group's project in Indahpura. The group has in recent years sold several pieces of industrial land in its project for RM18-24 per sq. ft. which has helped boost its property earnings. We expect the addition of JPO and the rising appeal of Iskandar to enhance the group's property and land bank values over time. Our tracking of the group's property sales in Johor revealed a sharp surge in property contribution from Johor in 2011. We also find Johor to be the key contributor to the group's property sales, making up 99% of total sales in FY11.

5.12 Offers highest potential in terms of land revaluation As at 31 December 2011, the group owned 2,659 ha of estates in Kulai. Of this, only 60 ha have been converted for property development. The land was recorded at book value of RM307.7m as at 31 December 2011. This puts the implied value for the land at RM115,720 per ha (or RM1.07 psf) which is extremely attractive compared to the recent transacted prices for property land in Johor. Although we are positive on the potential of its properties, we believe it will take time for the group to unlock the value of its Johor land. Assuming a fair value of RM8-10psf for the land, taking into account the fact that the bulk of the land is still not converted for property development, a potential unlocking of the value today will boost the land value to RM1,982 - 2,554m, adding around RM2.61 to 3.36 per share to the group's current NTA of RM4.51 per share.

6. CONSTRUCTION PERSPECTIVE 6.1 Basic infrastructure has taken shape Since Iskandar’s inception in 2006, basic infrastructure within Iskandar and access roads from the fringes of Iskandar has almost been completed. Construction in the last five years focused on developments within Nusajaya, covering earthwork, access roads and the construction of several catalytic developments, such as universities and the LegoLand Theme Park. The largest earthwork package in Medini was worth RM767m, awarded to WCT in 2009. Sunway, on the other hand, secured three jobs for LegoLand (RM248m), Pinewood Studios (RM309) and the LegoLand Water Theme Park (RM45m) between 2011 and 2013.

6.2 Transport infrastructure to shift to rail work Highways, the upgrading of major road networks and building of new ones had been completed between 2010 and 2012, mainly awarded to private companies. The main project was the RM945m Coastal Highway. This is a 6-lane, toll-free highway that links Nusajaya and Johor Bahru city (at Danga Bay) and was completed and officially opened to the public in 2Q12. The 15km stretch cuts the existing 30-minute ride to the Johor Bahru city centre to 15 minutes while dispersing traffic congestion by 30%. Over the next 5-6 years, we expect infrastructure construction in Iskandar to shift to its rail transport system. Figure 83: Major road and highway projects within and around Iskandar Projects

6.3 HSR and RTS The proposed KL-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) and JB-Singapore Rapit Transit System (RTS) should improve rail connectivity in the peninsula's southern region. This would benefit Iskandar as accessibility to the area from KL and Singapore will be greatly enhanced, a positive for property valuations. However, such plans will only be realised over the longer term as both the HSR and RTS are still in their planning stage, with completion targets of 2018-19, or 5-6 years down the road. Construction will be positive for contractors on a wider scale as tenders are likely to be split into several packages.

6.4 HSR tenders in 2014? Feasibility studies for the HSR have been completed but the project still needs more detailed evaluation before a possible project structure can be firmed up. Although both the Malaysian and Singapore governments have agreed to pursue it, we understand that plans would take at least another 1.5 years to progress to the detailed design and tender stages. The widely reported RM30bn cost estimate is still questionable, pending a decision on the rail’s final alignments, track profile and number of stops. The alignments (320-330km) will be entirely new and are likely to cover the major part of the western corridor of Peninsular Malaysia. Figure 85: KL-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) Project cost

6.5 RTS under joint feasibility study Estimated cost for the RTS and its indicative project structure are outstanding as the job is still under a joint-engineering study (JES) by the Malaysian and Singapore governments. The JES began in early 2012 and is scheduled for completion in 12 months’ time. Phase 1 of the initial study will cover possible methods to install the rail alignments between Johor and Singapore. There are currently three options: 1) building a causeway or land bridge; 2) building an elevated bridge; or 3) building an underwater tunnel beneath the Straits of Johor.

6.6 RTS to link with Thomson Line Based on the initial plans, the RTS should be operational by 2018, which would coincide with the targeted completion of Singapore MRT's Thomson Line Phase 1. The Thomson Line is a 30km underground MRT system costing S$18bn. It will cover Singapore's north-south regions. Phase 1 is located in Woodlands, Singapore’s northernmost point closest to Johor. There are plans to integrate the RTS with the Thomson Line.

6.7 Beneficiaries of HSR and RTS The construction of HSR and RTS is likely to draw the interest of contractors which have track records and experience in rail jobs. The project structure for RTS is unknown at this point. As for the HSR, given the size of the job, tenders are likely to be broken down into packages, as with the MRT SBK Line. The civil work/viaduct portion of the MRT SBK Line was broken down into eight packages. Of the eight, six were awarded to listed contractors. They included IJM Corp, Ahmad Zaki Resources, Sunway, MTD ACPI, Gadang and Mudajaya. Gamuda, on the other hand, was awarded the 9.5km underground portion, including tunnelling work. We do not discount the possibility that past MRT winners would end up being the beneficiaries of HSR again. Other contractors like WCT which were not successful in their MRT tenders may bid for HSR too. Also, if the RTS is built as an underground tunnel using tunnel-boring technology, Gamuda may stand a chance, given its cost advantage in the MRT SBK Line.

6.8 Contractors with biggest property exposure to Iskandar Contractors under our coverage also have property exposure to Iskandar. But the ones with larger exposure are WCT, Sunway and Gamuda. WCT has a total of 46 acres (4% of group land bank) of landbank in Johor, of which 34 acres are located in Medini. The three land parcels in Medini has a total outstanding GDV of RM2.8bn, comprising high-rise homes and mixed commercial developments. This accounts for 19% of its total group outstanding GDV. Sunway owns 1,858 acres in Iskandar or 48% of its total landbank. Total estimated GDV is RM30bn over 12-17 years and will feature a township development similar to its integrated development in Bandar Sunway. As for Gamuda, it owns a 50% share of Horizon Hills in Nusajaya with UEM Land. Its total remaining GDV here is RM4.8bn (55% of its domestic GDV) with unsold land of 710 acres or 69% of its total unsold land domestically.

6.9 Spillover for building-materials sector The building-materials sector, particularly cement and steel, should also benefit from the spillover of projects in Iskandar. Demand for steel should be underpinned by the HSR and RTS as steel typically accounts for about 40% of the input for rail projects. Where cement is concerned, we expect 4-5% demand growth in 2013 from ongoing property-development projects in Iskandar. Major building-materials suppliers under our coverage that will likely benefit are Lafarge (dominant market share), Tasek and Ann Joo. Sharizan Rosely + 60(3) 2084-9864 – sharizan.rosely@cimb.com

7. OIL & GAS PERSPECTIVE 7.1 Dialog's Pengerang The Pengerang development was first unveiled in Jun 2009 when we attended the signing ceremony for an MOU between Dialog and the Johor state government to set up an independent deepwater petroleum terminal in the seaside town of Pengerang in Johor. The partnership was given a boost in Oct 2010 when the Johor government awarded Dialog exclusive rights to develop the terminal for 60 years. In Apr 2012, we attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the terminal and toured the project site. The terminal is positioned to become a regional petroleum hub by virtue of its strategic location on the southern tip of Johor, next to a busy international shipping lane and close to the petroleum trading centre in Singapore. The terminal will also include jetty and other marine facilities with water depth of up to 26m, capable of handling very large crude carriers and making the terminal the first deepwater terminal in Southeast Asia. These facilities are expected to put Pengerang on the map as Asia’s Rotterdam, Europe’s biggest port city. The project was initiated by Dialog's executive chairman and MD Dr. Ngau Boon Keat, who believes that unless Malaysia takes the step to promote and attract investors to invest in oil terminals, it will face greater competition from neighbouring countries. Dr. Ngau is part of the 7-member Petronas pioneer team that came up with the national oil company's first production sharing contract in the 1970s. Johor is a prime area given its size and access to sheltered ports in the southern part of the state where Pengerang, Tanjung Pelepas, Tanjung Bin and Tanjung Langsat are located. Dr. Ngau has been quoted as saying that south Johor could have a total terminal capacity of 10m cu m within the next seven years and can grow to become a large petroleum, petrochemical and liquefied natural gas trading hub. Furthermore, Johor’s proximity to Singapore, where land is scarce and expensive, could lure customers from across the causeway. Singapore is the world’s third largest oil trading hub, beaten only by London and New York. Its physical oil trade amounted to US$375bn in 2007. Dubai, which is benefiting from the surge in oil refining in India and the Middle East, is also looking to rival Singapore as a trading hub. In Sep 2010, Reuters wrote that in 10 years’ time, Dubai will have the capacity to outperform Singapore, which lacks storage capacity. What started out as a private initiative is now an entry point project (EPP) under the government’s purview. EPP is defined as an iconic project that can generate results with strong multiplier effects. EPPs come under the government’s National Key Economic Areas and are part of the government’s Economic Transformation Programme (ETP). Dr. Ngau believes that the Pengerang terminal will spur tremendous opportunities and may eventually attract combined investments worth RM95bn. Tax revenue from the project and spin-offs from related industries could enable the government to collect RM12bn over the life of the project. Core players for the terminal include the Johor government, Dialog and a Dutch company, Vopak. Dialog will be both the contractor and operator, a dual role to which the company is no stranger. Dialog built and currently operates the terminals in Kertih and Tanjung Langsat. Vopak, which is also Dialog’s partner at the Kertih terminal, will be among the main clients for the Pengerang terminal. Vopak brings with it a whole new set of opportunities. Its presence could attract more lucrative investments to the area as well as add credibility to, and expedite the growth of, the development. Vopak is the world’s largest independent tank terminal operator, specialising in the storage and handling of liquid and gaseous chemicals as well as oil products. The Pengerang terminal is Dialog’s third and complements its investments in Kertih and Tanjung Langsat. Of the three terminals, Pengerang will be the biggest with a storage capacity of 5m cu m, significantly higher than Kertih’s 400,000 cu m and Tanjung Langsat’s 650,000 cu m. Pengerang’s Phase 1 will 53


March 18, 2013

begin operations in 2014, followed by Phase 2 in 2016 and Phase 3 in 2018. The terminal is expected to take 10 years to be fully developed. Pengerang’s contribution to Dialog is expected to be 10 times bigger than Kertih’s when the former’s Phase 3 starts its operations in 2018. Spanning 60 years, Pengerang is Dialog’s longest concession ever. Figure 89: Comparison of Dialog's terminals Tank terminal Kertih Tanjung Langsat Pengerang

The 7-year engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) package for the Pengerang terminal is worth RM5bn and covers all three phases. The work is being done in-house by Dialog’s EPCC team and 90%-owned Fitzroy Engineering at facilities that include a 35-acre yard adjacent to the project site. Given the on-site yard, Dialog is hopeful of securing a portion of EPCC works for Petronas’s US$20bn refinery and petrochemical integrated development (Rapid) project, which is next door and will sprawl over a massive 2,000 hectares (see the next section on Rapid). Land reclamation works for Phase 1, which spans 170 acres with a length of 2km, were completed around Apr 2012, paving the way for the start of construction of tanks and jetties. Land reclamation works have started at the 200-acre Phase 2 for completion in 1H13. Figure 90: Plan of Phase 1

7.2 Petronas's Rapid Introduced in May 2011 and launched a year later, the Rapid project is being developed by Petronas at a cost of US$20bn. A feasibility study, along with a site topographical survey and soil investigation works, was completed in Oct 2011. A front-end engineering design (FEED) study and an environmental impact assessment are being conducted by France-based Technip. Following the completion of the FEED study, a final investment decision is expected to be reached by mid-2013. The project is expected to create thousands of new jobs and attract a host of ancillary and supporting service providers upon completion. It is targeted to meet the burgeoning demand for energy and petrochemical products, especially 54


March 18, 2013

in Asia, over the next 20 years while enhancing both Malaysia's and the region's petrochemical industry. Covering an area of 2,000 hectares, the Rapid complex will have a refining capacity of 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) and will be much larger than Petronas's existing petrochemical complexes in Melaka, Kertih and Gebeng combined. The complex will also produce gasoline and diesel that will meet Euro 4 and Euro 5 fuel specifications and include a naphtha cracker as well as other infrastructure, such as pipelines, storage tanks and warehousing facilities. The ongoing FEED study will provide the configurations of various units of the complex and the investment required for each unit. In May 2012, Petronas COO Datuk Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin was quoted as saying that the project will potentially require 10 to 12 partners. He had also said that Petronas prefers to finalise the choice of its partners before it declares its final investment decision. The project has so far secured the partnership of three corporations. An agreement was signed with Japan's Itochu Corp and Thailand's PTT Global Chemical in May 2012. The two companies will partner Petronas to develop a few downstream units of the complex. Earlier, in Mar 2012, Petronas and BASF signed an agreement to form a joint specialty chemical venture within the Rapid project. However, the agreement was terminated on 21 Jan 2013 by mutual agreement. Notwithstanding this decision, both Petronas and BASF are committed to maintaining their existing partnership, BASF Petronas Chemicals, at Gebeng Industrial Zone in Kuantan, Pahang. Two days after the BASF pullout, Petronas signed an agreement with another German company, Evonik Industries AG, to jointly develop specialty chemical production facilities at the Rapid complex.

8. TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE PERSPECTIVE The Iskandar region houses two ports, Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) and Johor Port, and also the Senai airport. MMC Corp owns 100% of Johor Port and Senai Airport. PTP is 70%-owned by MMC while the remaining 30% is held by APM terminals, a unit of Danish shipping giant AP Moller Maersk.

8.1 Zone C PTP, located at Zone C, primarily functions as a container and logistics transhipment hub and directly competes with the Port of Singapore. It is located in the Free Trade Zone with available land earmarked for future development that caters to warehousing or international procurement sectors. PTP achieved its biggest breakthrough in 2000 when Maersk decided to purchase a 30% stake in the port and shift its operations from Singapore. Evergreen, another major container line, followed suit in 2002. In 2011, PTP handled 7.54m teus, implying a 90% utilisation of its annual 8.4m capacity and established itself as the 17th largest port in the world. Between 2001 and 2011, it achieved a CAGR of 14% in handled teus. Maersk is PTP's largest customer, accounting for more than 75% of total volumes. Despite holding only a 30% stake in PTP, Maersk plays an active role in the port's operations. PTP has drawn out an expansion plan over the next three years that could cost up to RM1.4bn as utilisation of the current facilities is near 100%. Two new berths will be added to the current 12 and new cranes and other equipment will be purchased to cater to larger container vessels. The two berths are expected to be completed in 2013, which will increase capacity from 8.4m to 10m teus. By 2020, the Johor Port Authority plans to build up to 95 berths that will allow PTP to handle 150m teus annually. Figure 91: PTP container volume growth (m teu)

SOURCES: CIMB, MMC

8.2 Zone D The Johor Port is a multipurpose port, catering mainly to the Pasir Gudang industrial area. It is located at Zone D, with key economic activities that focus on heavy industries and logistics as well as palm oil refining industries. It has dedicated terminals to handle break bulk, dry bulk, liquid bulk and container cargoes. Johor Port also has the world's largest vegetable tanking installation. Liquid bulk represents the largest of Johor Port's cargoes, around 11.6m fwt in 2011. It handled 4.1m fwt in dry bulk cargoes and 1.2m fwt in break bulk cargoes in the same year. In terms of container cargoes, growth has been relatively stagnant and Johor Port only handles a small fraction of PTP, at 0.8m teus. It was previously proposed that the container operations be merged with

56


March 18, 2013

PTP but this idea received objections from the manufacturers based in Pasir Gudang as PTP is located further away. Johor Port also recently unveiled a five-year expansion plan to redevelop the port as well as to upgrade its equipment and facilities. It envisions a growing need for port services, especially with the numerous developments in the area. Johor Port plans to build four new berths dedicated to handle liquid cargoes and purchase new cranes, repair wharf structures and dredge the port waterfront. It also plans to develop a maintenance repair and overhaul centre to cater to the oil & gas offshore sector. Figure 92: Cargo throughput ('000 fwt)

SOURCES: CIMB, JOHOR PORT

8.3 Zone E The Senai airport is the only airport operated in Malaysia that is not managed by Malaysia Airports. It has the ability to handle up to 4.5m passengers annually, although current utilisation is estimated to be around 30-50%. AirAsia is its largest customer, with 14x daily flights from major cities in Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and other East Malaysia states. Indonesia AirAsia offers flights from Surabaya in Indonesia to Johor Bahru. Both Malaysia Airlines and Firefly also operate to Senai airport. The airport is located at Zone E in Iskandar and there are plans to develop an Airport City in the area. This will comprise the Senai Free Zone (Aerospace Park, International Logistics and Manufacturing Park and SME Village), Senai Hi-Tech Park and Commercial and Residential Park. Aero Mall, a stand-alone external airport shopping complex, was opened in 2010. It is a leisure mall and also provides integrated transport services. Overall, the development of the Iskandar region is likely to spur growth for both the ports and Senai airport, benefitting the transport infrastructure sector. The establishment of various industries and the setting up of logistics parks and warehouses are likely to stimulate cargo volumes at the ports. As the scale of business increases, more international container liners may be attracted to set up a hub at PTP, which will help to elevate its status to become a major transhipment hub. The growth of business services, tourism and other industries will also transform Iskandar into a major city, similar to Kuala Lumpur and Penang. This will encourage air travel, which in turn will boost airlines and airport passenger numbers.

9. SINGAPORE PERSPECTIVE 9.1 Why companies are choosing to go there? Proximity to Singapore and costs are key attractions… Close proximity and lower operating costs (labour, utilities, rentals, etc.) are the two main attractions that make Johor the "ideal" location to establish operations support facilities for many Singapore companies, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Moving at least some of their manufacturing and logistics operations across the Causeway would provide SMEs some much needed relief by way of lower costs, while ensuring that the supply chain for their customers remains unbroken. Not surprisingly, Singapore manufacturers have comprised the largest group of foreign investors in Iskandar over the past few years. We believe the trend will continue, especially given the rising costs and tightening of foreign labour supply in Singapore. The Economic Development Board (EDB) has also been encouraging multinational corporations (MNCs) to invest in Iskandar of late, as it expects Iskandar to complement Singapore. The higher-value operations and headquarters will be located in Singapore, while factories and warehouses are expected to operate in neighbouring countries such as Malaysia (or Iskandar to be specific). EDB’s strategy is similar to its partnership with the Indonesian islands of Batam, Bintan and Karimun (BBK). According to the EDB Chairman, EDB is now in preliminary discussions with companies to facilitate "the twinning of manufacturing activities between Singapore and Iskandar Malaysia". Companies that have shown interest include those from the transport engineering, electronics, precision engineering and energy and chemicals sectors.

…but tech companies have other considerations as well Almost all Singapore-listed tech companies have already moved their high-volume, labour-intensive production out of Singapore to low-cost countries, such as Malaysia, China, Thailand and Indonesia over the years, while keeping only the high-value added, prototyping and R&D operations in the island state. Most of the companies we spoke to, however, highlighted that their choice of investment location will depend largely on their OEM customers’ requirements rather than the development of Iskandar. Among the tech companies under our coverage, Venture (VMS SP, Outperform) has the largest presence in Johor Bahru and Penang, with about 80% of its capacity in Malaysia (Johor and Penang). Venture said Malaysia will continue to be its main manufacturing hub, and will complement its R&D activities in Singapore. On the other hand, companies that have huge exposure in China, e.g. Hi-P (HIP SP, Underperform) and Huan Hsin (HUAN SP, NR), expressed their lack of intention to set up facilities in Iskandar as most of their OEM/ODM customers are based in China. Some of the other concerns raised by corporates that we spoke to include: (i) Some of them are also facing tight labour supply in Johor, especially for skilled workers as these workers would rather work in Singapore where wages are much higher; and (ii) Safety of their workers and investments in Iskandar. While some companies feel that there are no security concerns within the industrial estates, they are not so sure when it comes to the level of safety outside these industrial estates. 58

Iskandar – attracting more attention from Singapore of late The interest in Iskandar appears to have gathered momentum in the last 12 months, with several major investments announced by Singapore companies. The latest "endorsement" by the Singapore government through the joint development of Afiniti Medini and Avira resort wellness project could further spur interest in Iskandar. Some of the more prominent projects announced recently: Feb 13 – Afiniti Medini, an urban wellness project that aims to become a regional destination for families, tourists and professionals, is a joint development by Khazanah Nasional and Temasek Holdings. It features a wellness centre, service apartments, a corporate training centre and retail space. Afinity Medini is expected to be completed by end-2015. Avira – another resort wellness project at Medini Central – will have homes, service apartments and commercial space. The development is expected to be completed in 2018. Besides being among the five flagship zones at Iskandar Malaysia, Medini is also 40 minutes away from the Central Business District in Singapore by car. Both projects will have a total gross development value (GDV) of RM3bn (US$968m). Feb 13 – CapitaLand is leading a joint venture to develop a project in Johor worth about US$2.6bn. The development at Danga Bay will include a waterfront residential community comprising high-rise and landed homes, along with a marina, a shopping mall, offices and recreational facilities. The joint venture will acquire 3.1m sq ft of freehold land for US$261m for the project, which will have an estimated total gross floor area of 11m sq ft. It is expected to be developed in phases over a period of 10 to 12 years. CapitaLand Malaysia will hold 51% of the joint venture, Malaysian company Iskandar Waterfront Sdn Bhd (IWSB) will own 40% and Singapore investment giant Temasek Holdings will take up the remaining 9% Feb 13 – 5.9ha parcel of land was sold by Global Capital & Development to a private Singaporean developer, Link (THM) Holdings Pte Ltd, for US$31m. This translates into a price of US$48.5 psf, which is comparable to other land transactions within the area. The parcel of land is mooted for a mixed development hub with a GDV of US$804m. The scheme will be called Media Village@ Medini Iskandar and it is located at the entrance of Pinewood Studios – a film and TV production facility. This development will comprise residential and retail properties, and the group plans to turn the retail portion into seven cultural clusters. Dec 12 – Peter Lim plans to invest up to US$968m more in Johor's Iskandar region over the next few years. He said he is currently looking at another one or two more projects in the area, but declined to disclose more details. Speaking at the sidelines of a press conference at the World Islamic Economic Forum in Johor Bahru, Mr Lim said his investments would be real estate-related. This 59


March 18, 2013

could involve acquiring land as well as commercial or residential properties. He said the additional investment is on top of the US$3.2bn Vantage Bay waterfront project, also in Johor Bahru, which he is developing with the Johor royal family. Separately, Mr Lim announced a joint venture to build a US$1.1bn Motorsports City, also in the Iskandar region. This JV is between FASTrack Autosports, a company which he controls together with the Johor royal family, and UEM Land, a subsidiary of Khazanah Nasional Bhd. Last year, Mr Lim also announced plans to develop a US$64m healthcare project at Stulang Laut in Johor Baru. Oct 12 – Ascendas Land International Pte Ltd, a unit linked to Singapore’s state-JTC Corp, has inked a landmark deal to help build an integrated technology park over 210ha in Gerbang Nusajaya. This development boasts a GDV of US$1.2bn, with an equity split of 60:40 with UEM Land. This development is expected to be fully ready by 2022 and will help create over 34,000 jobs. Sep 12 – Raffles Education Corporation has inked a deal with Iskandar Investment Bhd to buy a plot of land to set up Raffles American School (RAS), which represents its maiden foray into pre-tertiary education. The company will pay about US$25m for the 18.5ha land in EduCity, which is located in Iskandar Malaysia's Nusajaya area. The proposed permanent campus, designed by the New York architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, will have 300k sq ft of built-up space for 2,000 students. Facilities in the school compound will include an indoor athletics complex, a performing arts centre that houses a black box theatre and a 800-seat traditional performing arts theatre, as well as a library and media centre. Outdoor facilities at the campus comprise two swimming pools, three tennis courts, a soccer field, a basketball court and a 400-metre track. Construction will be done in two phases. Phase one is targeted to be completed in the 2014-15 school year, after which RAS will be able to hold classes for kindergarten through Grade 12, and it will also have full-boarding capacity. RAS offers an American curriculum from kindergarten through to Grade 12, or the equivalent of the second year of junior college in Singapore. Its curriculum is jointly developed with International Schools Services. According to the company's announcement, the school prepares students for admission to US and Western universities, and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, US. RAS started classes for Grades 1 through 8 last month at a temporary campus in Anjung Neighbourhood Centre in Nusajaya. Besides RAS, Raffles Education Corp had earlier invested US$64m in Raffles University Iskandar in the same EduCity. Launched in Aug 12, the university offers courses in design and art, business, education and infocomm technology. Classes for the university are currently conducted at a temporary location at Menara Kotaraya in Johor Bahru, while a 26.3-hectare campus is being built that is slated for completion in 2014.

9.2 How will transport links improve? The two main links from Singapore to Johor Bahru currently are the Causeway and Tuas Second Link (opened in 1998). However, a feasibility study is being conducted on the Malaysia-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) link project to further improve the ease of travelling between Singapore and Johor. According to IRDA Chief Executive Officer Datuk Ismail Ibrahim, phase one of the joint-engineering study will focus on the various alignments, customs, immigration and quarantine-related matters, multimodal terminal locations and other critical perimeters. In May 2012, Malaysia and Singapore announced that both countries will undertake a project to improve connectivity by opening an RTS from Singapore to Johor Bahru by 2018. The joint Singapore-Malaysia statement said that the terminating stations of the link will be built in JB Sentral in Johor Bahru and the vicinity of Republic Polytechnic in Singapore. It added that the RTS link was expected to be up and running by 2018 and will have a co-located facility in Singapore and Johor Bahru so that commuters only need to clear immigration only once for each way of travel.

March 18, 2013

Separately, during the Singapore-Malaysia leaders’ retreat in Feb 2013, Singapore's PM Lee Hsien Loong and Malaysia's PM Dato’ Seri Mohd Najib jointly announced an agreement to build a high-speed rail (HSR) link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. This will facilitate seamless travel between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, as well as further enhance business linkages between the two cities. Completion is slated for 2020 and the estimated travelling time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore via the HSR is 90 minutes. Malaysia's Transport Minister Dato' Seri Kong Cho Ha said that an initial study has identified five towns where new railway stations will be built, including Seremban in Negri Sembilan, Ayer Keroh in Malacca, as well as Muar, Batu Pahat and Iskandar Johor – all located in Johor. The respective prime ministers also took note of the expected commencement in 2013 of a new ferry terminal and customs, immigration and quarantine facilities in Puteri Harbour. Ferry services will operate between Puteri Harbour and Singapore, subject to the regulators' evaluation of the services. Figure 95: A ferry ride from Puteri Harbour to Raffles Marina may only take 15-20 minutes

SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS

Other feasibility studies include a third road link between Singapore and Malaysia further down the road. Although the proposed RTS and HSR could make travelling between Singapore and Johor/Iskandar much more convenient and faster, manufacturers could be impacted negatively as more workers from Southern Malaysia can commute easily to Singapore and work there instead of staying in Johor/Iskandar, which further aggravates the problem of labour shortage in Johor.

9.3 The property factor Buyer demand rising; why did it take so long? There are essentially three reasons why property buyers from Singapore have shunned Iskandar in the past. These include: 1) concerns over safety; 2) the lack of infrastructure; and 3) concerns over execution. The lack of visible developments in the area, coupled with the property up-cycle seen in Singapore in 2006-2011, has convinced Singapore property investors to remain largely focussed on the island – until now. The entrance of Khazanah (via UEM Land) in 2005 marked a tangible commitment from the Malaysian government to make Iskandar work. We believe the buy-in from the Malaysian government 61


March 18, 2013

boosted the confidence of Singapore property investors on Iskandar. The much improved bilateral ties between the Singapore and Malaysian governments also helped to a certain extent. What transpired in the last seven years was a visible improvement in infrastructure development and execution. Local developers have stepped up efforts to build houses. The construction of LegoLand, Puteri Harbour Theme Park and numerous education institutions was also completed recently. This, in turn, should spur more housing developments as plans to build LRT, MRT, tram, monorail and ferry transports are set in motion. We believe the proposal to link the Singapore MRT system with Iskandar by 2018 will be the key potential kicker for more Singaporean demand. While there are no official statistics on the trend of Singapore buyers in Iskandar, our ground checks suggest the proportion has been rising. Horizon Hills, an upmarket landed housing development, has c.45% of its take-up coming from foreigners, of which 80% are Singaporeans. What can Iskandar offer? The biggest attraction of Iskandar for Singapore property buyers is price. Singapore property prices are now above their historical highs (up c.45% from 2008) which has prompted the government to introduce stringent measures to curtail investment demand. While average prices at Iskandar have also more than doubled since 2008, current house prices remain 4-8x lower than that of Singapore. This only takes into account entry-level prices in Singapore. On a like-for-like basis, the price differential can be even starker. For example, a prime bungalow of 15k sq ft built-up area will cost around US$18m in Singapore. For that amount, buyers will be able to buy more than 10 equivalent units at Horizon Hills, Iskandar. We believe the rising cost of living and unattractive yields in Singapore are starting to channel some genuine and investment demand offshore. Given the close proximity of Johor and the expected improvement in connectivity between Johor Bahru and Singapore, Iskandar will be a natural choice for Singapore property buyers. Property buyers tend to invest in regions that they understand. The close proximity as well as cultural and demographic similarities are likely to convince many Singaporeans to deploy their investment capital into Iskandar, in our view. We see an increasing number of Singaporeans now opting to stay in Johor Bahru and commute to Singapore for work.

Singapore property companies starting to bite We note that there has been a rapid pickup in investment interests from Singapore property companies in Iskandar. Ascendas REIT's (AREIT) parent, Ascendas Land, has recently set up a 60:40 S$1.5bn joint venture with Malaysia’s UEM Land to develop an integrated eco-friendly tech park in Nusajaya. Prompted by a dearth of attractive acquisition targets and its dominant SME exposure, Mapletree Industrial Trust has also indicated the possibility of following its tenants’ foot-steps to Iskandar when its pure-local mandate expires in Oct 2013. Cache and Cambridge have sounded a similar note, indicating the possibility of emulating the action of certain tenants by expanding into Iskandar. CapitaLand's move to acquire a plot of land in Danga Bay is perhaps the most significant recognition of Iskandar’s potential by a Singapore-based player. The largest developer in South East Asia by market capitalisation acquired the piece of land with 11m sq ft of GFA for US$259m, through a 51:40:9 JV with Iskandar Waterfront Sdn Bhd (IWSB) and Temasek Holdings, as announced by CapitaLand on Feb 19. The site is located 30 minutes away from the Tuas Second Link by car. CapitaLand will be the master planner for the mixed development, which is expected to be completed in 10-15 years' time and has an estimated GDV of RM8.1bn (US$2.6bn). Lim Ming Yan, CapitaLand’s new CEO, said that Malaysia and Singapore's economies complement each other and believes that it is only natural for more Singapore-based developers (such as CapitaLand) to increase its investment exposure at Iskandar. He is positive on the its long-term prospects and sees demand coming from Johor, other parts of Malaysia, Malaysians working in Singapore and Singaporeans. We understand that there has been an immediate uptick in the asking prices for condominiums in Iskandar after CapitaLand announced its Danga Bay foray.

Lingering pushbacks… While Iskandar appears to be an attractive proposition for industrial REITs, most players (other than Mapletree Logistics Trust) still have fairly tentative Iskandar plans. Most noted that end-user tenants are apprehensive about en-mass relocation. The key pushbacks for many Singapore-based industrialists include: 1) security concerns; 2) the lack of skilled labour; 3) the lack of an integrated business activity hub to support logistics demand and spur the relocation of businesses; and 4) concerns over efficiency, economic and political stability in Malaysia. To tackle some of these issues, the Malaysian authorities have poured in investments to improve road infrastructure and drainage to enhance Iskandar's general liveability as well as drawn up a safety and security blueprint to lower crime rates. Some of these initiatives have yielded results. As labour and rental cost pressures in Singapore escalate, there have been reports of more SMEs warming up to the idea of relocating low-margin, labour- or

land-intensive operations to Iskandar. Among the S-REITs, MLT is the only one with assets in Iskandar. Despite rising interest in Iskandar, the Singapore developers that we spoke to harboured reservations. CapitaLand sees strong potential in Iskandar and believes it has the relevant expertise to operate in Malaysia. However, the company said it is still too early to commit on the amount of capital that it will be deploying in Iskandar. The Danga Bay investment is likely to be a test-bed for now, as it makes up less than 1% of its RNAV by our estimates. The Chairman of CityDev, Mr Kwek Leng Beng, is positive about Iskandar’s long-term prospects but noted that it is still in its early days in terms of development. He believes that only around 20% of the real estate area is currently developed and he is also concerned over the maintenance of the properties being built. He has indicated that CityDev is likely to remain on the sidelines for now until the general elections in Malaysia are done and dusted, a view shared by CapitaLand. Mr Stephen Riady, Chairman of OUE, has a more sanguine view on Iskandar. He is positive about the development on a longer-term basis as growth prospects in Singapore become more challenging. Both CityDev and OUE currently do not have exposure in Iskandar. ‌but prospects can be mouth-watering if more capital is deployed Singapore property players have emerged from the global financial crisis (GFC) with more robust balance sheets. Many of the major developers are substantially cashed up, with the asset leverage of REITs being contained below 45%. Growth in Singapore and China is getting more challenging as asset inflation concerns prompt governments to clamp down on property prices. Singapore property players have excess capital but they are shackled by the lack of investment opportunities. Iskandar could appear on their investment radar going forward as execution, safety and infrastructure issues will be addressed on a progressive basis. The level of potential investment capacity from the Singapore developers is significant. Assuming a 50% net gearing for the major developers (CapitaLand, CityDev and KepLand), we estimate an excess capital of around US$5.9bn that is available to be deployed. At 45% asset leverage, industrial S-REITs also have the capacity to deploy around US$2.1bn. As at Jul 2012, cumulative committed investment from Singapore as a whole (all industries) only amounted to US$1.9bn or 16.6% of total foreign investments in Iskandar. We believe the potential upside in Iskandar coming from the Singapore property players could be very significant.

9.4 Why is it likely to be successful this time? As an economic co-operation initiative between Singapore and Johor, the Iskandar zone is not something that came out of the blue. It is a spinoff of the SIJORI Growth Triangle (a Singapore-Johor-Batam partnership) initiative that was mooted in the 1990s to combine the competitive strengths of the economic region to counter China’s cost competitiveness and capitalise on the global manufacturing outsourcing trend that was expected to benefit Asia. The thought back then was to relocate labour-intensive industries to Johor and Batam, which offered a more cost-competitive manufacturing base. That co-operation unfortunately did not really lead to the relocation of most manufacturing industries, with some choosing to stay in Singapore until more recently. From Singapore's perspective, the key factors that could drive the Iskandar Development to new heights include: 1) More stringent immigration and foreign worker policies; 2) Rising wage costs for labour-intensive industries; 3) Record-high property prices, which translate into higher occupancy costs and other business costs; 4) Much improved political ties between Malaysia and Singapore; and 5) Infrastructure investments in Iskandar. More stringent immigration and foreign worker policies In Singapore, the ruling party won its lowest share of votes (60%) in 2011 since independence. The population's grouses included the rising cost of living, overcrowded living spaces and an increasing mix of foreigners that the locals were not comfortable with. As indicated by the number of net new foreigner inflows in the past decade, the crucial years that contributed to a higher mix of foreigners was 2006-2009. To address these concerns now, the government has tightened immigration policies significantly. In the Population White Paper debate recently, the government has talked about how citizen acceptance will slow to the ~20k p.a. level, while the net increase in foreign population will stay at the ~60k p.a. level. Singapore cannot switch off the foreign worker tap completely as there is a lack of local workers to take on certain jobs. From a longer-term perspective, an ageing population means that the local workforce will start to decline after 2025. The cap on foreign worker inflow will be implemented for various services and construction sectors over time. Foreign worker dependency ratios are being trimmed, while levies on foreign workers are being raised. Since the implementation of the more stringent policies, Singapore business operators complained that the shortage of workers had led to higher wages or caused some of them to close down.

Rising wages of labour-intensive industries, lack of workers Weaning companies off the dependence of foreign labour means that costs will inadvertently rise. The shortage of workers in construction, cleaning, food industries, healthcare and manufacturing suggests that the future bottleneck is not just about wages but also the general unwillingness of local workers to work in these industries. With the average education level on the uptrend, it is natural for the local workforce to have lofty aspirations. Thus, Singapore needs to generate jobs that fulfil the demanding needs of this new generation of young and more highly educated local workforce. Singapore’s Population White Paper envisions that the ratio of PMETs (professionals, managers, executives and technicians) jobs vs. non-PMET jobs among locals will increase from 1:1 currently to 2:1 by 2030.

Unfortunately, no economy can revolve around just service-based jobs and it must have a hinterland market or some industrial pillars. For example, banking, accounting and consulting jobs cannot thrive if there are no other businesses based in Singapore or businesses with headquarters in Singapore to service. In that regard, Singapore has done well to: 1) capitalise on its transport hub and trading hub status; 2) build a nascent commodity hub business; 3) build a wealth management centre; 4) build a strong petrochemicals industry; and 5) sow the seeds for a nascent biomed and pharmaceutical industry. These will provide the pillars for the service industry of the future. What it needs to do is 67

to ensure that its financial sector remains relevant as one of the global financial centres, so that it can complement businesses of new emerging industries with older industrial-type businesses. Record-high property business costs

higher property-related

While Singapore’s more stringent immigration and foreign worker rules have spurred rising wage costs, labour costs are not only the costs that have increased. Driven by low interest rates and buoyant investment demand, industrial property prices have hit a new record high. While industrial property rental has not risen as much as asset prices, the almost 40%-increase in rentals since 3Q09 has significantly increased tenants’ cost base as well. With the higher labour and occupancy costs, industrial firms in Singapore may increasingly find Iskandar to be a good relocation destination. While this may be a good option for tenants, it could be negative for industrial property demand and prices. Besides industrial property, Iskandar could also have an impact on Singapore’s housing sector. Current record-high home prices, coupled with the government’s cooling measures and the risk of further curbs if prices continue to rise, could sap potential investment demand for residential property. Such investment demand could be diverted towards Iskandar, given the intensifying buzz there and the fact that Iskandar’s houses are currently priced only at a fraction of Singapore’s. If Iskandar’s transportation network and security situation are further enhanced, the attractiveness of residential properties in this region would definitely be boosted. Currently, engineering studies are being conducted on the proposed MRT link from Woodlands to Johor Bahru that would significantly enhance the convenience of commuting between Iskandar and Singapore. Indeed, we are seeing more Singaporeans investing in residential properties in Iskandar of late, either for rental income or as a second home. Thus, Iskandar may be a boon for industrial property tenants and residential real estate investors in Singapore looking for lower-cost alternatives. It may also be a boon to the Singaporean government’s efforts to cool its red-hot local residential market as Iskandar can help divert some investment demand. Thanks to the recent improvement in bilateral relations between Singapore and Malaysia, Iskandar could indeed become a natural hinterland for Singapore in the long term – enabling the Republic overcome its land constraints.

9.5 Regional perspective From the regional perspective, the positive development of Iskandar Malaysia can be seen through air and sea linkages within Asia-Pacific countries and Malaysia's membership in the Indonesia-Malaysia-Singapore Growth Triangle (IMS-GT). The IMS-GT originally encompassed Singapore, Johor and the province of Riau in Indonesia. It was later expanded to cover the Malaysian states of Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Pahang as well as Indonesia's West Sumatera province, South Sumatera, Bengkulu, Jambi, Lampung and West Kalimantan. IMS-GT is geared towards increasing economic competitiveness, integration and growth through comparative exploitation, economics of scale and productivity linkages. As the IMS-GT's development is propelled by market forces, the private sector acts as a driving force with the government as the facilitator. Concentrating on economic relations between Johor and Singapore and between Singapore and Riau, especially Batam, the IMS-GT is expected to benefit Johor immensely as it is located next to Singapore. Singapore has a 4.2m population as part of the extended Iskandar Malaysia population threshold and it is an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) member country. Indonesia, especially Batam, is quickly becoming Southeast Asia's fastest growing offshore manufacturing centre, thanks to its 750 multinational manufacturing companies that are 68


March 18, 2013

located in 20 industrial estates. They employ close to 200,000 Indonesians, on top of more than 3,200 foreign workers that hail from all over the world. With two direct road links to Singapore and sea links to Batam, Iskandar Malaysia is in an excellent position to take advantage of the IMS-GT, which facilitates and promotes international cooperation, human mobility and tourism.

9.6 The gripes Some property consultants have highlighted the apparent lack of land zoning and plot ratio controls in Iskandar. This could mean that certain residential projects may not be able to deliver on the promise of sea views (as opposed to what was originally indicated during the marketing phase).

VALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 9.7

Favourable momentum

Developers and property buyers from both sides of the Causeway seem to have woken up to Iskandar's huge potential in just the past few months. We believe this is due largely to many past efforts to build infrastructure and administrative, education and leisure activities. For many years UEM Land has been working hard to attract Singaporean developers to Nusajaya without much success. The closest was indirectly via United Malayan Land where CapitaLand used to own a 20% associate stake. United Malayan Land's huge success with the Somerset Apartments in Puteri Harbour launched in 2011/12, particularly with Singaporean buyers, together with the success of UEM Land for two of its Puteri Harbour projects in 2011 and 2012 would have certainly made other developers sit up and take notice. Figure 108: Iskandar Malaysia’s major projects

SOURCES: IRDA

Singaporean participation has since gathered momentum, starting with Ascendas Land's joint venture with UEM Land to build an industrial estate in Gerbang Nusajaya. This was a hugely positive event as many believe that it will facilitate the shift of Singapore SMEs to Iskandar. This boosted UEM Land's share price 10% in a single day when the joint venture was announced in Oct 12. Subsequently, the momentum built up further with the announcement of Singapore billionaire Peter Lim's MotorCity in Dec 12 and the presence of one Singaporean in a four-tycoon consortium that bought the 44-acre land in Puteri Harbour for RM401m in Jan. Most recently in Feb, CapitaLand and Temasek respectively took up 51% and 9% stakes in a 71.4-acre man-made island in Danga Bay for RM811m or RM264 psf. The land owner, Iskandar Waterfront Sdn Bhd, will hold the remaining 40% stake. The acquisition by the Singaporeans in Danga Bay is the second major foreign one in recent times after China's Country Garden Holdings's acquisition of 55 acres for RM900m or RM376 psf.

It is interesting that prices in Danga Bay appear to be higher than even parts of Puteri Harbour, which we consider to be the flagship of Nusajaya and Iskandar. This could be due to higher plot ratios allowed and reclamation costs involved. Nonetheless, we believe prices of raw land in Iskandar in general will continue to head north as land cost per plot ratio remains relatively low given that prices of condos in the prime areas are fetching RM800 psf or higher. For luxury condos, prices are going for RM1,000 psf or more. Such prices are converging with that of KLCC in Kuala Lumpur, where land prices are easily RM1,500 psf or more.

9.8 How to play Iskandar Malaysia? Thus far it is the property and construction companies that have benefitted the most from Iskandar's ascent. Contractors were early investors in Iskandar as they were involved in some of the infrastructure works. The best proxy for Iskandar has always been UEM Land due to its huge landbank in Nusajaya and the fact that it is the flagship development arm of Khazanah Holdings, the key planner and driver for Iskandar. Of the developers we cover, those with exposure to Iskandar include SP Setia, Mah Sing and E&O. Companies we do not cover that have exposure to Johor include Tebrau Teguh, Mulpha, Daiman, KSL Holdings, Crescendo, Dijaya Corp, Hua Yang, Johor Land, Keck Seng, Plenitude, Scientex, Glomac and Country View. But there are other winners from the corridor's lift-off, including plantation companies with vast landbank in Iskandar, such as IOI Corp, Genting 71


March 18, 2013

Plantations and Kulim. Plantation companies with landbank in other parts of Johor that will benefit from spillover development, include Sime Darby, KL Kepong, Tradewinds Plantations, TH Plantations, Kim Loong, United Malacca and Kluang Rubber. Oil & gas companies, given two massive projects in Pengerang, as well as Singapore companies that are making a beeline to Johor and Iskandar Malaysia, including Ascendas and CapitaLand, also provide investors exposure to the development corridor. However, as Ascendas Land is not listed while Wee Ee Chao's exposure is via his private vehicle, the only direct exposure to Iskandar via a SGX-listed company is CapitaLand. Singapore contractors that could participate in rail infrastructure relating to Iskandar include Tat Hong and Yongnam. Peter Lim is also in the midst of injecting his property investment in Iskandar (through Vantage Bay Sdn Bhd) in SGX-listed Rowsley (please refer to appendix for details). Our top three preferred Iskandar plays are UEM Land, WCT and CapitaLand. UEM Land - UEM Land remains the best proxy for Iskandar due to the group's massive landbank in Nusajaya and the numerous catalyst projects that are taking place there including Kota Iskandar, Puteri Harbour, Medini, EduCity, Pinewood Studio, LegoLand, Puteri Harbour Theme Park, Afiat Healthpark. Also, UEM Land is the flagship property arm of Khazanah – the planner and driver of Iskandar. UEM Land locked in RM2.46bn new sales in 2012, representing a 12% yoy increase. 73% of the new sales in 2012 came from Nusajaya projects and only 27% came from non-Nusajaya projects. For 2013, the group is targeting RM2bn new sales from Nusajaya and RM1bn from non-Nusajaya. WCT - WCT's strategy in 2013 for its property ventures is to expedite its property launches in Iskandar. The group has a total of 46 acres (4% of group landbank) of landbank in Johor, of which 34 acres are located in Medini. The three land parcels in Medini have a total outstanding GDV of RM2.8bn and comprise of high-rise homes and mixed commercial developments. This accounts for 19% of its total group outstanding GDV. Out of the group's targeted RM700m property sales this year, 43% or RM300m is expected to come from Medini Signature (high-rise homes), which have indicative pricing of over RM600 psf. The balance 57% would be made up of new launches for its projects in Klang Valley. CapitaLand - CapLand is Southeast Asia's largest property developer by market capitalisation and one of the most diversified across segments and regions. Offshore developments account for over 50% of its asset base and earnings. While China continues to form the largest overseas market, the group has recently invested in a mixed development greenfield project at Danga Bay, Iskandar, with an expected GDV of RM8.1bn. This project will take 10-15 years to complete and currently forms only 1% of CapLand's RNAV. But management is positive about Iskandar's long-term prospects and believes it can be competitive given its scale and Singaporean roots. We believe more capital will be progressively deployed into Iskandar. CapLand is currently the largest direct play on Iskandar among the Singapore listed companies. The following is a list of companies, many of which we do not cover, that have exposure to Iskandar.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Iskandar no longer appears to be a pie in the sky and investors and buyers alike from Malaysia and Singapore are taking a serious second look at opportunities there. Is this sustainable? The answer to this question depends on which aspect investors are looking at. If investors are asking about physical property prices, which seem to be going up rapidly with prime condo prices in Puteri Harbour already reaching RM1,200 psf, then the answer is yes but only for a few more years until a lot more supply comes onstream. The early property projects, such as those by UEM Land and United Malayan Land, were priced at RM700-800 psf while, more recently, prices have risen to RM1,000-1,200 psf. We believe Iskandar property prices still have much more upside as prices remain a fraction of their Singapore equivalents. But Iskandar prices could reach a temporary peak in 3-5 years’ time when the supply of completed units starts to hit the market. This is not dissimilar to what happened in the KLCC market when prices doubled within 2-3 years, only to peak and fall after huge supply came onstream. But if the question relates to Iskandar as a business destination and a growth corridor, then we believe the answer is a resounding yes. We believe the momentum is sustainable as long as the conditions remain conducive with no major hiccups in the relationship between the two countries. Thus far there has been strong progress made on so many fronts, including buy-in from the authorities of both countries, completion of major catalyst projects, commencement of new catalyst projects that are even more ambitious and enhancements and additions to transportation links that can only draw the two nations even closer. Singapore's importance to Iskandar cannot be overemphasised but the relationship also goes both ways. Singapore too stands to benefit significantly from Iskandar as it makes perfect economic sense and that is why we continue to remain bullish on Iskandar, dubbing it the "Shenzhen of Malaysia."

10. APPENDIX 10.1 Transformational deal: Rowsley Figure 112: If you had bought this…

SOURCES:

BLOOMBERG

Rowsley was trading below 10 Scts for the most part of last year, hitting a low of 8.9 Scts on 16 Nov 12, before heading higher to 14.1 Scts on 20 Dec 12. The shares were halted from trading on 21 Dec and Rowsley subsequently made some very substantial announcements. Its share price has reacted strongly, hitting 26 Scts on Christmas eve and a 52-week high of S$0.51 recently (8 Mar 13). The players Rowsley Ltd – an investment holding company controlled by businessman, Peter Lim, with an estimated 29.9% stake (Bloomberg). RSP Architects Planners & Engineers – Singapore’s leading architecture practice. RSP is one of Asia’s leading architectural firms with expertise and a solid track record in town planning, urban design, architecture, engineering, interior design, and facilities management. Such a strong outfit will enable Rowsley to get up to speed on its development plans in Malaysia. Post-deal, RSP will continue to be run by its existing management, posing little operational risks. Dr Hong owns 64.5% of RSP; other shareholders are Mr Lee Kut Cheung (12.5%), Mr Lai Huen Poh (12.5%), Mr Liu Thai Ker (7.5%) and Mr Hud Abu Bakar (3.0%). Vantage Bay Sdn Bhd – a developer of a mixed-used project in Malaysia’s Iskandar region. Vantage Bay is a private company incorporated in Malaysia. Its beneficial shareholders are Mr Peter Lim (70.0%) and DYAM Tunku Ismail Idris Ibni Sultan Ibrahim Ismail (30.0%). The proposed deal In an all-share S$545m deal, Rowsley is looking to transform itself into a major real-estate player in the fast-emerging Iskandar region. When finalised, the 56-year-old RSP Architects (headed by prominent architect and businessman Dr Albert Hong) would be listed on the SGX through Rowsley.

75


March 18, 2013

There are three key components to this deal:1) Rowsley will acquire RSP from Dr Hong and four of his partners for up to S$187m, to be paid by issuing nearly 1.25bn Rowsley shares at S$0.15 each. 2) At the same time, Rowsley has entered into another agreement with Vantage Bay Sdn Bhd to buy the latter’s 9.23 ha of land at Iskandar for S$358m. 3) If the deal goes through after a period of due diligence, Rowsley will reward existing shareholders with a free bonus issue of two warrants for every one existing share. Each warrant can be exercised at S$0.18/share. The Iskandar portion The land Vantage plans to sell to Rowsley is located at Bandar Johor Bahru, Daerah Johor Bahru, Negeri Johor, within Flagship A of the Iskandar development region, Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The land is located on a waterfront site just a few hundred metres from Johor's new customs, immigration and quarantine facility, making it highly convenient for Singaporeans due to its proximity to Singapore. There are plans to develop the land into an integrated mixed-use township with a major shopping, entertainment and residential complex. It will also have a hotel, commercial and office developments. The land is about 9.23 ha in size with the proposed township expected to yield a gross floor area of no less than 10m sf. The adjacent medical hub to be jointly developed by Thomson Medical Limited and Vantage Bay will complement the mixed-use township and enhance the overall attractiveness of the development. The RSP portion RSP, one of Singapore’s oldest architect firms, started out as a partnership known as Raglan Squire and Partners in 1956. Since then, it has grown in scope and scale to become one of the largest and most established practices in Asia employing 1,000 people in many countries, including Singapore, China, Vietnam, UAE. and Africa. Among its recent projects in Singapore are Bishopgate Residences, a new extension of Plaza Singapura, ITE’s headquarters, College Central and The Wharf Residences. Its commitment to service and quality has led to numerous awards over the years, including prestigious ones like the EDB Solar Pioneer Award, Skyrise Greenery Award and ASEAN Energy Award. Deal valuations - RSP The maximum purchase price of S$187m works out to a P/E of 7.5x based on the average annual profit after tax under earn-out targets from financial years ending 31 Dec 13 to 31 Dec 15 (FY13-15). The maximum RSP purchase price comprises two components: S$131m for the entire issued share capital of RSP, payable by Rowsley shares upon completion, and up to S$56m in “earn-out consideration” payable by Rowsley shares when the Proforma RSP Group achieves a consolidated cumulative net profit after tax of S$75m for FY13-15. For reference, RSP achieved a PATMI of S$19.6m in FY11. Rowsley has appointed Ernst & Young Solutions to undertake an independent equity valuation of the Proforma RSP Group and will disclose the findings in a circular to shareholders subsequently. There will also be a share moratorium on the new shares to be issued. More details can be found in Rowsley’s announcement dated 3 Feb 13. Deal valuations - Vantage For the Vantage acquisition, Rowsley will issue 2.4bn shares to pay up to S$358m. No financial statements are available on the land but Rowsley has commissioned Knight Frank Malaysia Sdn Bhd to undertake an independent valuation of the land and again, a copy of the valuation report will be made available. A share moratorium will also be applicable in respect of the new shares to be issued for this deal.

76


March 18, 2013

No takeover offer Rowsley has also applied to the Securities Industry Council for a waiver of the obligations of the involved parties to make a mandatory general offer for the company under the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers. Risks The definitive agreements were signed on 3 Feb 13, and the deal is subject to the approval of SGX and Rowsley’s shareholders at an EGM to be convened later.

Axis REIT is the first listed Islamic industrial/office REIT globally. We like the stock as it offers exposure to the industrial property boom in Iskandar Malaysia. Management's proactive style means that growth will be driven by acquisitions, apart from organic enhancement plans.

We reiterate our Outperform rating on Axis REIT and a target price based on its DDM value. Rerating catalysts are 1) further yield-accretive asset acquisitions, and 2) upside surprises to rental rates post asset enhancement initiatives.

Malaysia's largest industrial REIT

Axis REIT is Malaysia's largest industrial REIT with a total portfolio size of RM1.5bn (31 assets). Currently, 18% of its properties are located in Johor but we expect this number to rise as the promoter injects new assets located in Johor onto its portfolio.

Proxy for boom in industrial property in Iskandar

We believe Axis REIT is a good proxy for the boom in industrial properties in Iskandar Malaysia as its promoter (Axis Group) is aggressively co-developing industrial parks and properties in Johor under the JV company Axis AME IP Sdn Bhd, specifically i-Park in Indahpura,

Iskandar. Due to its location, i-Park serves as an attractive low-cost alternative for firms seeking to relocate out of Singapore. Axis AME IP plans to expand the development of its “clean and green� industrial parks under the brand names i-Park and SME City nationwide. We are positive as such plans will give more visibility to potential future asset injections for Axis REIT.

Proven acquisition track record

Axis REIT has a strong and proven acquisition track record. Since listing, its portfolio has grown more than fourfold from RM0.3bn to RM1.5bn in seven years. Currently, it has plans to buy nine assets worth a total RM660m, of which RM350m (23% increase) is expected to be added this year. Funding will come from the placement of 90.8m new units, of which approval has already been secured from the regulator. The REIT usually matches the timing of placement with new acquisitions to minimise dilution.

CapLand is the largest listed play on Iskandar on the back of its recent S$324m investment in a mixed development project at Danga Bay. Management believes in its long-term potential and we will not be surprised if more capital is deployed in the future.

For now, management believes that China will remain its key offshore market. Iskandar currently only accounts for 1% of its RNAV, leaving room for further scalability. We retain our Outperform call with unchanged EPS estimates and target price (15% discount to RNAV). We see catalysts to come from stronger operational performance in FY13 and potential accretion from divestments of non-core assets.

Mixed development at Danga Bay

CapLand recently announced that it has acquired a piece of land with 11m sf of GFA in Iskandar, Danga Bay, for S$324m through a 51:40:9 JV between the developer, Waterfront Sdn Bhd (IWSB) and Temasek Holdings. The site is a 30-minute drive from the Tuas 2nd Link. CapLand will be the master planner for the mixed used project, which is expected to complete in 10-15 years time and has an estimated GDV of RM8.1bn (S$3.25bn).

Scalable

Management sees strong potential in Iskandar and believes the company has the relevant expertise to operate in Malaysia given its Singaporean roots. CapLand expects housing demand in Iskandar to progressively come from 1) Singaporeans with businesses in Johor, 2) Malaysians residing in Singapore, and 3) locals in the broader state of Johor. We see this latest venture at Danga Bay as a first step to gaining a larger exposure in Iskandar. For now, management believes that it is still too early to give an indication of how much capital it will be deploying. The project accounts for only 1% of its RNAV at the moment, a level we believe is scalable given its large regional focus. In the near term, China will remain its largest offshore market, accounting for over 50% of its GAV.

About CapLand

Dialog's tank terminal project in Pengerang will put the Johor seaside town on the map as Asia’s Rotterdam and help the company scale new net profit highs in FY6/13-15. It is also eyeing opportunities at Petronas's US$20bn RAPID project, also located in Pengerang.

Our target price rises slightly as we now value Dialog’s businesses at 18.9x P/E in our SOP calculation, a 40% premium over our CY13 target market P/E which has been revised from 13.3x to 13.5x. Attractive prospects for Pengerang developments as well as marginal and mature fields are the potential re-rating catalysts that support our Outperform call.

Tanking up in Pengerang

The terminal in Pengerang is Dialog's third and complements its investments in Kertih and Tanjung Langsat. Of the three terminals, Pengerang is Dialog's longest concession ever at 60 years and will be the biggest, with a storage capacity of 5m cu m, significantly higher than Kertih’s 400,000 cu m and Tanjung Langsat’s 650,000 cu m.

from EPCC works at the 170-acre Phase 1 pushed Dialog's 2QFY6/13 net profit up 15% yoy, taking 1HFY13 net profit to a record RM94m, equivalent to 10% growth yoy. Land reclamations works at the 200-acre Phase 2 are ongoing. In addition to the terminal project, Dialog expects to benefit from Petronas’s US$20bn refinery and petrochemical integrated development (Rapid) project that is being planned next door.

More to come

Things can only get more exciting for Dialog, with the pick-up in the pace of development in Pengerang. The company could also benefit from the upcoming redevelopment of more ageing fields and development of more marginal fields. We expect Dialog’s net profit to hit new highs every year in FY13-15, giving a 3-year EPS CAGR of 15%.

Maiden project in Johor

In mid-2011, E&O had entered into a shareholders' agreement with Pulau Indah Ventures Sdn Bhd to develop a wellness project in Medini, Iskandar on a 50:50 basis. Pulau Indah Ventures in turn is 50:50 owned by Khazanah and Temasek. The land in Medini measures 210 acres and was acquired for around RM350m or RM38 psf. The land is leasehold (99 years + 30 years) with payments to be made in three tranches (Phase 1 RM90m, Phase 2 RM145m and Phase 3 RM135m). The second and third tranches will be payable 5-7 years after Phase 1. The development does not have any Bumiputera or foreign-buyer quotas and comes with tax incentives. Called Avira, the wellness project will provide an environment where total wellness is harnessed from its surroundings. E&O will officially launch the RM3bn

project in Jun/Jul. The township will include a peat reserve with walkways for residents and a water-retention pond that will be beautified. Residential properties there will be gated and guarded and E&O's main target market is Singaporeans.

Main catalyst is still Penang Despite the excitement surrounding the Iskandar project, the bulk of E&O's value still comes from its Penang project in Seri Tanjung Pinang. E&O has rights to reclaim 760 acres of prime landbank in Phase 2 of Seri Tanjung Pinang. Approval to commence the project should be forthcoming after general elections. Assuming a plot ratio of 1x and an efficiency rate of 50%, E&O will have over 16m sf of saleable space. Based on selling prices of RM1,400-1,500 psf, which are the selling prices of condos in the Andaman series of the Quayside condos, the GDV potential of the land is massive, at RM23bn-25bn. This makes E&O's land there the single largest and most valuable land plot on Penang island.

We continue to apply a 20% RNAV discount in deriving our target price. Despite the positives in Iskandar and potential new jobs of over RM10bn from MRT 2 & 3, we remain Neutral in view of the election risks. We continue to expect sector catalysts for large-scale transport infrastructure projects to be emerge only in 2H13.

Properties in Iskandar driven by Horizon Hills

Gamuda is one the three contractors under our coverage that has a larger property exposure in Iskandar. The group owns a 50% share of Horizon Hills in Nusajaya alongside UEM Land. Horizon Hills is a 1,200-acre integrated township that is developed using a low-density concept and spread over 13 residential precincts. Located in Nusajaya, it is also a gated residential development which offers a private 18-hole golf course. As at end-2012, total remaining GDV stood at RM4.8bn, representing 55% of Gamuda's domestic GDV. Total unsold land stands at 710 acres or 69% of the group's total unsold land

domestically. Horizon Hills continues to be one of the group's top selling townships, beating Bandar Botanic in Klang. The group targets Horizon Hills to achieve RM450m in property sales for FY13 (FY12: RM430m) or 33% of total targeted domestic sales.

HSR and RTS

The KL-Singapore high speed rail (HSR) and JB-Singapore rail transit system (RTS) are still in the planning stages. However, we believe Gamuda has a fair chance in bidding for these rail projects, given its involvement as the project development partner (PDP) and contractor for the underground works for the MRT SBK line. It will also enjoy an advantage if the RTS is built as an underground tunnel using tunnel-boring technology.

RM4.5bn order book

Its outstanding order book as at end-2012 stood at RM4.5bn, largely made up of MRT underground works. The group targets potential new jobs worth over RM10bn from MRT 2 & 3.

Strong revaluation potential for its land in Iskandar region

CIMB Analyst Ivy Ng Lee Fang CFA T 60 (3) 20849697 E ivy.ng@cimb.com

Genting Plantations has the highest land bank exposure to the Iskandar region and the second highest property sales in Johor among the listed planters under our coverage. The group stands a strong chance of benefitting from the rising demand for property in Iskandar.

Genting Plantations’ appeal lies in its 2,659 ha of strategic land bank in Kulai, carried at a book cost of RM1.07 psf. If we revalue this to RM10 psf, the potential value enhancement works out to a robust RM3.36 per share. But it will take time for the group to unlock the Kulai land’s value. Hence, we maintain our Neutral rating and SOP-based target price.

Exposure to Johor

Genting Plantations has two township projects in Johor – Genting Indahpura in Kulai Johor and Genting Pura Kencana in Batu Pahat Johor. Also, it owns a 50% stake in Johor Premium Outlet (JPO), Malaysia's first premium outlet through its JV with the Simon Property Group. Genting Indahpura is a 7,000-acre integrated township development, with a mix of residential and commercial properties near the town of Kulai and in zone E of the Iskandar region. The JPO is located near Indahpura.

Property exposure and track record

The property division accounted for only 9% of the group's total EBIT in FY12, while 92% of the group's property sales came from its Indahpura project. Since the Johor Premium Outlet opened, we believe the group has witnessed more robust demand for its properties and plans to step up its launches. Also, it recently sold several parcels of industrial land at RM18-24 psf.

Significant potential revaluation gain from Johor

Assuming a fair value of RM10 psf for its 2,659 ha of Kulai land, after considering that much of the land has not been converted for property development, we estimate this will add around RM3.36 per share to the group's current NTA of RM4.51 per share. This is significant and will act as a support to the share price. We are positive on this potential in the group.

We continue to apply a 30% discount to RNAV in deriving our target price. Despite positives from Iskandar and potential new job prospects from the HSR and RTS, we maintain Neutral in view of election risks. We continue to expect sector catalysts for large-scale transport infrastructure projects to emerge only in 2H13.

Bahru city, 2) RM1.4bn GDV Sebana Cove located near Pengerang which should benefit from property demand spill-over from Petronas' Rapid project, and 3) RM1.4bn GDV Nasa Land JV. Of the total RM1.7-1.8bn total property sales in FY13, c.RM200m came from Iskandar, compared to c.RM100m in FY12.

Property in Iskandar

HSR and RTS

IJM Corp, via property arm IJM Land (IJML MK, Not rated), owns 1,592 acres of land in Iskandar and its surroundings with outstanding GDV of RM5.2bn. In terms of the balance undeveloped land, the total land in Iskandar makes up 26% of the group's total land bank, while the RM5.2bn balance GDV constitutes 16% of total group balance GDV. In Iskandar, the group has five property ventures that mainly focuses on mixed-development, ie. commercial and residential. While most of the projects are nearing its final phases, the key drivers over the longer-term are the 1) RM1bn GDV Mount Austin located near Johor

The KL-Singapore high speed rail (HSR) and JB-Singapore rail transit system (RTS) are still in the planning stages. However, we believe IJM Corp has a fair chance in bidding as the group is currently one of the contractors for the elevated portion of the MRT SBK line.

RM4.5bn order book

Outstanding order book stood at c.RM4.5bn based on our estimates. A potential increase would come from the RM4bn share of works for West Coast Expressway (WCE) but it is likely to be awarded at end-2013. Opportunities from the HSR and RTS would be a bonus for order book.

IOI Corp stands out as a planter with the highest property sales exposure to the Iskandar region. Three out of five of its Johor property projects are located in Iskandar, making the group a prime beneficiary of the surge in demand for property there.

Assuming the group's property land bank in Johor is revalued to at least RM20 psf, we estimate this will boost the group's NBV per share by 11% or RM0.23 to RM2.06. Though we are positive about this prospect, we believe it has been mostly priced into the stock's current pricey valuation. We maintain our Underperform rating and SOP-based target price of RM4.49 per share.

Johor property exposure

The group has three townships in Iskandar Malaysia – Bandar Putra, Taman Lagenda Putra and Taman Kempas Utama. Also, it has a property project in Segamat (not part of Iskandar) and is developing a service apartment project, The Platino, in Johor. In total, its Johor property projects contributed 31% of the group's total property sales value and 52% of its sales units in FY6/12.

Good record in Johor

We find Johor’s contribution to group property sales has climbed from 15% in 2007 to 31% currently,

signalling more property launches and sales in this region. A calculation of the average selling price per unit at its Johor projects showed that average selling prices for some projects had doubled over the past five years. We believe this could be driven by the higher selling prices of its products and better product-sales mix. In our view, IOI Corp's established track record as a developer in Johor since 1985 and strong balance sheet will place the group in a good position to ride the current property boom in Iskandar.

Potential impact from revaluation of land

The carrying value of IOI's remaining property land area in Johor varies from RM3-33 psf. Assuming we revalue some of the land to at least RM20 psf, we estimate this will raise the group's NBV of RM2.06 per share by RM0.23 (11%).

We continue to apply a 10% premium to Lafarge’s 2.2x P/BV average in the past 1 year to derive our target price. But though we are positive on cement demand in Iskandar, we remain Neutral on the stock as an expected 22% rise in industry capacity in 2013 could intensify competition. Also, we expect industry-wide price instability as a result of new capacity in the medium term.

Iskandar supports demand growth

The cement sector should continue to benefit from a spillover of projects in Iskandar, which should support 4-5% domestic-cement demand growth in 2013. In addition to the Klang Valley and Penang, Lafarge's sources of demand include Iskandar. Lafarge's superior product mix and dominant 40% share of the domestic market provide an edge in securing more exclusive supply contracts in Iskandar. The group is at the moment the exclusive cement supplier to the RM1bn, 1,000 MW extension of the

Tanjung Bin coal-fired power plant in Johor.

Pasir Gudang plant

Its cement-grinding plant in Pasir Gudang is positioned to benefit from ongoing property projects in Iskandar, oil & gas projects in Pengerang and infrastructure projects such as the KL-Singapore high speed rail and JB-Singapore rail transit system. Its cement-grinding plant has an annual capacity of 770k tonnes p.a., representing 6% of the group’s capacity of 12.9m tonnes p.a. This plant represents one of its four facilities in Peninsula Malaysia.

Competition risks

Though we are positive on Iskandar's demand for cement, industry competition could worsen as we are expecting the sector's clinker capacity to rise 22% by end-2013, which would continue to distort selling prices. Also, election risks weigh on building-material stocks.

No changes to our earnings forecasts and target basis of a 20% discount to RNAV. Mah Sing remains a Neutral due to pre-election headwinds. We are likely to review our call on the property sector and the stock after the general elections are over.

A big player in Johor

Mah Sing is considered a major player in the Johor property market with six ongoing projects including Sri Pulai Perdana, SriPulai Perdana 2, Austin Perdana, Sierra Perdana, iParc Johor and Meridin@Medini. Sales from Johor contributed RM250m or 10% of the group's new sales in 2012. That contribution is set to rise to 20% or RM609m in 2013 as Mah Sing will be launching Meridin@Medini in 1H.

Adding to Johor landbank

Over the past two years, Mah Sing has acquired one parcel of land in Johor each year with the 206-acre iParc Johor land in 2011 and the 8.2-acre Medini land last year. The group recently undertook a 1-for-3 rights issue at RM1.42 apiece and 3 free warrants-for-5 rights. This increased

its share base from 840.3m to 1.12bn. The proposed 1-for-5 bonus issue is expected to be completed in 2Q. The rights issue raised nearly RM400m, of which RM350m will be used for landbanking purposes. The funds from the rights issue will be available to Mah Sing by end 1Q. Mah Sing is eyeing land in Klang Valley, Johor and Sabah but we would not be surprised if it adds substantial more landbank in Johor as it is bullish about Iskandar's prospects.

RM3bn sales target in 2013

For 2013, Mah Sing is targeting to sell RM3bn worth of properties, a 20% increase. If successful, the rate of growth would be stronger than 2012's new sales growth of 11%. 2013 new sales are expected to come from the Klang Valley (RM1.85bn or 62%), Johor, Penang (RM396m or 13%) and Sabah (RM147m or 5%). The key sales driver will come from the RM3.63bn Southville township in Bangi. This is the group's new flagship and we believe the project will be successful as 2-3 bedroom apartments will be priced attractively at below RM300k.

SP Setia has been the dominant developer in Johor for many years with annual new sales of RM500-600m from the state. In FY12, new sales from Johor jumped to RM1.35bn. SP Setia continues to be one of the major beneficiaries of the growing interest in Iskandar.

No changes to our earnings forecasts. We retain our Trading Buy call and target basis of 10% discount to RNAV. SP Setia is not an outperform due election risks. Potential rerating catalysts include 1) Iskandar's take-off, 2) the successful launch of the Battersea project and 3) record new sales and profits in FY13.

A major Johor developer

SP Setia started off in the 1990s with significant exposure to the Klang Valley and Johor. Before it acquired the 3,930-acre Bandar Setia Alam land, the group had exhausted much of its Klang Valley land bank and could be considered more of a Johor developer. In fact, SP Setia's president and CEO Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin hails from Johor and is very familiar with the state. Hence, it should not be a surprise that the group has many townships in Johor include Bukit Indah Johor 1 & 2, Setia Indah Johor, Setia Tropika, Setia Eco Garden, Setia Eco Cascadia as well as

newer projects such as Setia Sky 88 and Setia Business Park. Bukit Indah Johor 1 & 2 are in fact part of Nusajaya as SP Setia was one of the early developers that bought land from Renong to assist in accelerating development of the township.

Now a global developer

SP Setia started expanding locally to Penang and Sabah over the past few years and more recently expanded to Vietnam, Australia, United Kingdom and China. The group's Battersea project in London was acquired in mid-2012 and is turning out to be a resounding success. The residential portion of Battersea phase 1 with GDV of ÂŁ800m is as good as sold out. This is a hugely commendable feat and even better than the company's ambitious target. There were in fact queues for the London launch in Jan, unheard of in the UK property market as the pre-sale is not a common practice

Our target price remains set at a 40% RNAV discount. Despite its recent re-rating sparked by renewed interest in Iskandar, we remain Neutral in view of near-term pre-election risks. This could cap further upside for the stock which has rallied 16% YTD.

Iskandar exposure

Sunway owns three land parcels in Iskandar with a total size of 1,858 acres (48% of its land bank). Two plots measuring a combined 1,770 acres are located in: 1) Medini South (691 acres), purchased in 2011 for RM745.3m; and 2) Pendas Region (1,079 acres), comprising Pendas North and Western Pendas South (779 acres) and Eastern Pendas South (300 acres). Total purchase price was RM597m (RM12 psf). In construction, there is opportunity for the group from the KL-Singapore high speed rail and JB-Singapore rain transit system as it was one of the

winners of viaduct packages for the MRT SBK Line.

RM30bn GDV

GDV for Medini South is RM12bn over 10 years, with the first launch at (RM300m-400m GDV) end-2012/early 2013. The Pendas Region land plot has a GDV of RM18bn over 15-17 years. This integrated development will offer hospitality, healthcare and education facilities as well as a theme park. Sunway holds a 60% stake in this venture with the other 40% held by Iskandar Asset Sdn Bhd.

Iskandar exposure in the price

Sunway's property exposure in Iskandar is positive for the longer term. We think its recent re-rating (+16% YTD) has factored in a recent revival of interest in companies with exposure to Iskandar. Election risks may cap further upside.

Tat Hong remains the leading crane-rental company in Asia. Its fleet is being deployed in several landmark projects in the Asia-Pacific Rim. Its share price had outperformed in the past year and should continue to do so, led by earnings sustainability and potential M&As.

We see positive operating leverage and efficiency through better working-capital management. We maintain our EPS, target price at 11x CY14 P/E (5-year average forward P/E) and Outperform rating.

Singapore-Malaysia projects are all the rage now. We think the only visible project relevant to Tat Hong could be the MRT linkage between Woodlands and Johor. On this note, we highlight that the group’s 25ha land in Iskandar, bought two years ago, has gone up in value but is still recorded at historical cost. The same goes for its other land. Land acquisitions, while having appreciation potential, have another function of lowering storage overheads. It is unlikely that Tat Hong will revalue these assets right

now, given its conservative method of accounting.

ASEAN has caught up

Meanwhile, its distribution division in Australia is growing, albeit at a slower pace. The group is no longer so dependent on this market, largely because Singapore and other ASEAN markets have caught up. We believe this would ensure better margin sustainability as crane rental offers double the typical distribution margins.

Utilisation at 75% for FY14

We believe that by end-FY14, the group can reach a blended utilisation rate of 73% for its crawler and mobile cranes. Current utilisation is 71%. Fully-depreciated old cranes are still in commission, explaining Tat Hong’s margin strength and operating leverage.

UEM Land remains the best proxy for Iskandar due to the group's massive landbank in Nusajaya and the numerous catalyst projects that are taking place there. Also, UEM Land is the flagship property arm of Khazanah – the planner and driver of Iskandar.

No changes to our earnings forecasts and target price basis of 20% discount to RNAV. We maintain Neutral on UEM Land and will likely review our call on the stock and the sector after the general elections. UEM Land remains the best proxy for positive newsflow on Iskandar.

Prime Iskandar landbank

Of the original 23,875 acres in Nusajaya, over 7,000 acres remain undeveloped. Many of the catalysts projects in Iskandar – including Kota Iskandar, Puteri Harbour, Medini, EduCity, Pinewood Studio, LegoLand, Puteri Harbour Theme Park, Afiat Healthpark, etc. – are all located in Nusajaya. In fact, a RM1bn toll-free highway linking Nusajaya with Johor Bahru was completed in end-2011, thus, slashing travelling time from 30-35 minutes to 10-15 minutes. The proposed high-speed rail link from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore may have a stop in Nusajaya, while ferry and CIQ services are now available in Puteri Harbour. The infrastructure and accessibility in Nusajaya are second to none in Iskandar.

Many new catalysts

The group's newest project in Nusajaya is its 4,500-acre Gerbang Nusajaya, which is set to rival even Puteri Harbour as its flagship project. There have been a flurry of announcements in Gerbang Nusajaya in 4Q12, starting with the 40:60 joint venture with Ascendas Land to develop a RM3.7bn 519-acre integrated technology park; then the memorandum of understanding with China Mall Holdings Pte Ltd to develop a trade and exhibition centre; and finally the 30:70 joint venture with Fastrack Autosports Pte Ltd, a company controlled by Singapore billionaire Peter Lim, to develop a RM3.5bn 270-acre Motorsports City.

Nusajaya rocks

UEM Land locked in RM2.46bn new sales in 2012, representing a 12% yoy increase. 73% of the new sales in 2012 came from Nusajaya projects and only 27% came from non-Nusajaya projects. For 2013, the group is targeting RM2bn new sales from Nusajaya and RM1bn from non-Nusajaya.

WCT remains positive on its property outlook in Iskandar and plans to ramp up launches. 43% of the group's targeted sales in 2013 will come from high-rise residential products in Medini. The High Speed Rail (HSR) and Rail Transit System (RTS) could provide new job flows.

Our target price is still pegged to a 40% discount to RNAV. WCT remains a Trading Buy rather than Outperform because of election risks. Potential domestic contracts backed by its RM3.5bn tender book and more land acquisitions could be catalysts. WCT remains one of our top sector picks.

Focused on Iskandar property launches

WCT's 2013 strategy for its property ventures is to expedite its property launches in Iskandar. The group has a total of 46 acres (4% of group landbank) of landbank in Iskandar, of which 34 acres are located in Medini. The three land parcels in Medini have a total outstanding GDV of RM2.8bn, comprising high-rise homes and mixed commercial developments. This accounts for 19% of the group's total outstanding GDV. Of the group's targeted RM700m property sales this year, 43% or RM300m will come from Medini Signature (high-rise

homes), with an indicative pricing of over RM600 psf. The balance 57% will be made up of new launches for its projects in Klang Valley.

Rail opportunities from HSR and RTS

The construction of HSR and RTS is likely to draw the interest of contractors which have proven track records and experience in rail jobs. Similar to the MRT SBK Line, the tenders for HSR are likely to be broken down into packages. We do not discount the possibility of WCT submitting its bid for the construction of the HSR and RTS, given that it was unsuccessful in its MRT tenders.

RM3.7bn order book

Its outstanding order book stands at RM3.7bn, which should last 2-3 years. Of the RM3.1bn external projects, projects in the Gulf constitute 56% and local civil & engineering work 18%, with domestic building work making up the balance.

While Yongnam had faced revenue and margin pressure in FY12 largely from the timing of revenue recognition, we think this could soon change. Our target price remains set at 6x CY14 P/E, its 3-year mean. Maintain Outperform with potential mega projects as stock catalysts.

continue to explore projects in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Greater China and Europe. But we have identified Malaysia as a major market that the group would have to give more resources to.

The strutting guy to turn to

Yongnam’s biggest capacity lies in Nusajaya, Johor, capable of supporting its project pipeline in Malaysia. The group is looking at various high-profile projects in Malaysia, which include: 1) the KL‐Singapore high-speed rail project (RM8bn-14bn); and 2) Greater KL/Klang Valley MRT project (RM36.6bn). The KL/Klang project has 35 stations along its 51km line, with 13 proposed park‐and‐ride stations and four interchanges. Eight of the stations will be underground as 9.5km of the line will be built under the capital city, with tunnelling up to 30m underground. We believe Yongnam is the only specialist which can provide the requirements strutting-steel (S$200m‐300m).

Yongnam has scalability and one of the largest steel-fabrication facilities in South-East Asia. Its reputation as the leading steel specialist contractor is unparalleled, with a host of iconic projects to show. Additionally, its modular strutting systems meet increasingly-stringent requirements for the design of complex infrastructure and civil engineering projects.

Looking overseas

The group intends to pursue offshore structural projects and investment opportunities in infrastructure development that complement its structural steel and specialist civil engineering capabilities. Yongnam can leverage its brand name and strong foothold in Singapore and Price Close
