Malaysia - Singapore Curbs Will Benefit Johor Developers

Located just minutes away, Malaysia's southernmost state Johor will benefit from Singapore's latest cooling measures, said RHB Research.

Property developers with large landbanks in Johor – including Mulpha International Bhd, KSL Holdings Bhd, Eastern & Oriental Bhd and Sunway Bhd – stand to benefit from the latest round of cooling measures introduced in neighbouring Singapore.

This was according to a statement by RHB Research, which further highlighted UEM Land Holdings Bhd as being particularly suitable to capture “Singapore money”. UEM Land has a large landbank of 9,000 acres and enjoy strong support from national investment holding arm Khazanah Nasional Bhd.

The research house also listed other factors that will encourage firms to relocate or expand in Johor, stating that Malaysia offers lower interest rates and business costs, while noting Singapore's strong currency.

The Iskandar region will also further boost Johor's prospects, given reports of strong interest levels among Singaporean investors aiming to participate in the development of Johor's upcoming central business district. The proposed project is expected to contribute significantly to Iskandar's property market.

The successful development of Nusajaya into a new residential hub will also bring economic benefits to the state, especially with announcements of cross-border projects at Gerbang Nusajaya.

Among these is the integrated tech park at Gerbang Nusajaya that has been confirmed to start construction by the end of 2013 or in early 2014. Besides increasing population and economic activity, the project is expected to raise UEM Land's future earnings.

Group director Jonathan Tok Beng Tong said the project which is being developed on a 12ha plot is divided in two phases, with a third phase under discussion.


The first phase, which started early this year, involves the construction of a supermarket in a 7,432sq m area, with completion expected by next May.

Tok said the second phase, which includes an integrated food bazaar for local and international delicacies, an exhibition room, retail stores and a hotel in a 37,000sq m area, is to be completed by 2014.

“The third phase may be carried out in collaboration with a company from China for the development of a shopping mall, commercial complex and serviced apartments,” he said.

Tok said the first and second phases were located strategically near the city centre and Pasir Gudang port, and had a good transport network.

He was speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of the second phase at Permas Jaya, officiated by Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Ismail said the food bazaar was an entry point project under the National Key Economic Areas.

“The first food bazaar was opened in September at Medini Mall, Nusajaya.

“This is the second bazaar to be developed,” he said, adding that the government was planning to open a third food bazaar in Nilai 3, Negri Sembilan.

“CapitalLand’s Danga Bay deal a steal”

“CapitalLand’s Danga Bay deal a steal”

The CapitaLand-led consortium’s acquisition of 28ha of freehold man-made island A2 at Danga Bay has been hailed as an attractive deal by analysts.

The price of RM811 million, which will work out to RM262 psf, is 30 percent lower than the RM376 psf or RM900 million paid by Hong Kong listed Chinese developer Country Garden Holdings two months ago, for a 22ha track located nearby, said Singapore based Maybank Kim Eng Research.
TA Securities’ Wendy Tham said the attractive price could probably be due to consideration given to the additional expenses necessary for development on reclaimed land.

CapitaLand Malaysia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitLand Limited of Singapore, controls 51 percent of the consortium which will develop the land. Other consortium shareholders are Iskandar Waterfront Holdings (IWH) with a 40 percent stake and Singapore government investment arm Temasek Holdings Pte Ltd which has a nine percent stake.

CapitaLand Limited, is one of Asia’s largest real estate companies, involved in development, hospitality and real estate financial services. It is 40 percent owned by Temasek.

The development will include a waterfront residential community (high-rise and landed), with a marina, shopping mall, F&B offerings, serviced residences, offices and recreational facilities, to be developed in phases over 10-12 years. It is expected to generate a gross development value of RM8.1 billion. danga bay
Maybank Kim Eng Research said though details for the project are rather sketchy, it believes that CapitaLand would to be able to reap some economies of scale, given that it is the project manager for the Afiniti Urban Wellness project in Medini North, which is within the Nusajaya part of Iskandar Malaysia.
The Afiniti project, part of the Medini Integrated Wellness Capital in Iskandar, is developed by Pulau Indah Ventures Sdn Bhd, a 50:50 joint venture between Temasek Holdings and Khazanah Nasional. Among the key offerings are wellness, hospitality, retail and corporate training facilities. Afiniti and the Avira Resort Wellness Centre, a 50:50 joint venture between Pulau Indah Ventures and Eastern & Oriental Berhad, are said to have a combined gross development value of RM3 billion.
The research house added that despite CapitaLand’s unprecedented investment into Malaysia, it does not expect the real estate giant to scale up its exposure in Malaysia.
IWH, the master developer of a waterfront city at the southern tip of Johor Baru, fronting Singapore, has a total land-bank of about 1,620ha in that area. It has so far sold a total of 242.81 ha. Other investors, include Dijaya Corp Bhd, Australia’s Walker Corp and Brunsfield Group.

Tham agreed with popular belief that investment by a company as large as CapitaLand would further enhance investor confidence in the Iskandar region. Though, some may claim that the Singaporeans have an upper hand in this deal – given the lower price and a controlling stake – this deal is actually a win-win situation for both countries, she added. Investments such as this would draw in more foreign investments into Iskandar.

“Additionally, with this project we can not only expect spill-over effect for other developments in the area but also a positive outcome on property prices in Iskandar, as well as the surrounding areas, including Johor Baru, which has been lagging behind Klang Valley and Penang for the last 10 years,” she said.

Johor Baru and Iskandar have been touted as the country’s hottest property markets for 2013 by analysts and property consultants. Iskandar Malaysia formerly known as Iskandar Development Region and South Johor Economic Region covers 2,217 sq km – reported to be, three times bigger than Singapore and twice the size of Hong Kong.

The area which was once viewed as greenfield land started picking up after 2009 and beyond with developments like Legoland, Educity and Puteri Habour Theme Park.

Property and Land Taxes in Malaysia

Property and Land Taxes in Malaysia
If you are wondering what the property and land taxes are related to a house here in Malaysia, they are low compared to the US and many other places.
There are two types of property ownership in Malaysia Leasehold and Freehold. Leasehold is when you lease the land for a period of time often 99 years and then it is renewable [or not] at the end of the lease. The other is Freehold where you own the property outright. We prefer Freehold and were lucky to find a freehold property we like and could afford. For more info on freehold/leasehold check here. By the way, most properties available in KL are leasehold. Foreigners can own either Freehold or Leasehold.
There are two main costs associated with property and land ownership in Malaysia. One is called the Assessment Tax which is a tax generated twice a year by the local Majlis Perbandaran where the property is located. Assessment tax is collected by the local authorities for the ‘provision of services to the residents’. The amount and classification of properties varies from state to state and within the state. In most states the amount of the assessment tax a house owner pays is calculated on the annual value of the of the property and the annual value of the property is the total value of rents if the house is rented out in the open market. If this sounds confusing, I agree. If you want more info. you better do some googling.
The other payment is for the Quit Rent (rent is a deceiving word here) which is generated in our case by the Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus. This is a once a year payment. From what I understand, Quit Rent is a form of land tax collected by the Malaysian State Governments. It is imposed on owners of all land. The amount of the quit rent varies from state to state and even within each state. For more info. check here.
1). Assessment Tax on Residential Property
The assessment tax is a local tax based on the annual rental value of the property, as assessed by the local authorities. It is generally levied at a flat rate of 6% for residential properties and payable in two installments.
2). Quit Rent
The quit rent is a local tax levied on all landed properties, payable annually at a rate of 1 sen to 2 sen per square foot, wherein RM1 is equal to 100 sen (cents). The quit rent liability is generally estimated to be less than RM100 per year.
http://www.pdtjasin.gov.my/en/online-services/e-calculator/computation-of-yearly-land-tax-rate.html
For Examole, the bungalow( has a Quit Rent cost of 218 RM per year and a Assessment cost of 780 RM total per year. therefore, you may have rough idea about your property.
Real Property Gains Tax
Disposals of Malaysian real property held for less than two years are subject to real property gains tax (RPGT) at a flat rate of 10%. Disposals of Malaysian real property held for less than five years but more than two years are subject to real property gains tax (RPGT) at a flat rate of 5%. No real property gains tax (RPGT) is levied on disposals of properties held for more than five years.

Stamp Duty
When purchasing a property, stamp duty must be paid on the Memorandum of Transfer. Stamp duty is based on the purchase price:
•For the first RM 100,000, stamp duty is one percent
•For the next RM 400,000, stamp duty is two percent
•Anything over RM 500,000, stamp duty is three percent
There are penalties for the late payment of stamp duty.
