MALAYSIA PROPERTY - PENANG / KL / JOHOR PROPERTY - PLEASE CLICK HERE 21st Dec 2010 - Iskandar Malaysia records RM64.38bil in investments http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/12/21/business/7659797&sec=business JOHOR BARU: The total value of investments recorded by Iskandar Malaysia from the start of the development corridor project in 2006 until September 2010 is RM64.38bil.The amount far exceeded the RM47bil target set for this year, Iskandar Regional Development Authority chief executive officer Ismail Ibrahim said yesterday. “We have annual targets. We started collecting information about investments in 2006. 
Ismail Ibrahim ... ‘A large percentage of the investments are from domestic investors.’The final target we have set upon maturity in 2025 is RM382bil,” Ismail told Bernama during the 1Malaysia Media Travel Programme here. He said a large percentage of the investments were from domestic investors. “In the initial stage, it's true that we tried to get as much FDIs (foreign direct investments) even though we thought of local investors as long-term players and better in the terms of investment, but to create that initial interest, we had to bring in FDIs. Only through this way interest can be generated among local players. It is about confidence building. Our local investors always have the wait-and-see attitude. So, once we brought in all the big players such as Legoland, Pinewood Studios and so on, it opened up their eyes. “Praise be to Allah, the performance for 2009 and 2010 has also given the indication that investments from abroad are no longer the majority investment.“Last year, 52% or more were from here. So, it is really giving a picture of what's in store for us,” he said. A total of RM37.26bil or 58% from the total investments up to September were by domestic investors while the balance of RM27.12bil from overseas. During the same period, RM26.89bil or 41.85 were spent to carry out development projects in the region. Of the overall investment recorded, RM25.65bil was in the service sector, RM12.81bil in the tourism sector, RM19.64bil in properties and RM6.28bil in the government sector. Bernama Saturday April 12, 2008 - Iskandar Malaysia project on track, says PM JOHOR BARU: The Iskandar Malaysia project here will not be scaled down and the Federal Government is committed to seeing that it succeeds, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. “It is important that Iskandar Malaysia succeeds and we will continue to back the commitment. I am still the co-chairman of this development,” he said when asked if it would be scaled down to ensure long-term viability. He said he was pleased with the inflow of investments into the project which was on track to achieve the target of RM47bil within the next two years. 
Abdullah speaking during a press conference after being briefed on the progress of Iskandar Malaysia in Johor Baru Friday as Ghani (left) and Iskandar Malaysia CEO Datuk Ikmal Hijaz Hashim (third from left) look on.At the moment we have secured 70% with almost RM33bil in investments,” he told reporters after attending a three-hour briefing on Iskandar Malaysia's progress.Abdullah reiterated Federal and state governments’ support for all ongoing projects in Iskandar and other economic corridors announced before the elections. He also officially announced that the project, previously known as Iskandar Development Region (IDR), would be named Iskandar Malaysia with immediate effect. It is not a new development project but just the same project which has been renamed.There is no change in policy, commitment or the authority. Abdullah also announced that RM200mil had been allocated to build housing units in Iskandar Malaysia, saying it was one of the most important of Iskandar initiatives. To be launched in the second half of the 9th Malaysia Plan (9MP), 2,000 units, with a minimum built-up of 850-900 sq ft per unit, would be built in the first phase of the housing development, he said.

The company, BSEL Infrastructure Realty Ltd (BSEL), has pledged to invest RM15bil over 12 years in several projects in the region. BSEL signed a memorandum of understanding with the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA), whereby IRDA would help BSEL seek approvals from various authorities to facilitate its development process. BSEL managing director Dharmendra Raichura said in a statement released by IRDA that the investment of RM15bil would be in three phases, each about four years apart. The first phase would be RM2bil, followed by RM4bil and RM9bil. He also said the anticipated development plan of 70 million square feet (650 hectares) would be completed in three phases with 10 million square feet (93 hectares) in the first year and doubling in every subsequent phase. “In Iskandar, we have found a new territory to display our development prowess and we promise to deliver quality in our work,” he said. BSEL is listed in the Mumbai stock exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India with investments in hospitality, hotels, information technology parks and townships in India and the United Arab Emirates. It also invests in commercial space and retail and shopping mall projects. Its completed landmark projects in India include the BSEL Tech Park Hilton Centre, IIP and Kharghar Phase-I. Some of its on-going projects are the Rajiv Gandhi IT Habitat, Goa, the Dubai Project in Ajman, six shopping malls in Nagpur and a hotel and commercial project in Pune. IRDA chief executive officer Datuk Ikmal Hijaz Hashim said the collaboration between IRDA and BSEL was significant as it was the first with an Indian company in Iskandar. “On our part, IRDA will endeavour to assist and facilitate BSEL in their investments within Iskandar Malaysia and obtain the necessary approvals and incentives from the authorities,” he said. “And I am personally committed to ensure that investors to Iskandar, such as BSEL, get the full support of IRDA.” Ikmal had earlier said that since Iskandar Malaysia was launched in late 2006 it had received investments from the Middle East totalling RM4.1bil so far, with Kuwait as one of the serious investors. He added that Iskandar Malaysia’s target was to get RM47bil in investments by 2010 and it already had RM32.7bil committed and hence had already met 70% of its target.
