MK Land Holdings Bhd will improve sales efforts and venture for the first time into landed property in the Klang Valley to strengthen the group’s profitability, its executive director Datuk P Kasi said. On Wednesday, the property developer announced a lower net profit of RM15.22 million for its first quarter ended Sept 30, 2005, compared with RM20.8 million a year ago, while revenue fell 35.36% to RM114.71 million from RM177.73 million previously. For the financial year ended June 30, 2005 (FY05), MK Land posted a net profit of RM120.21 million, 25.6% lower than the RM161.57 million a year ago. Revenue slid 2.23% to RM904.99 million from RM925.67 million. Speaking to reporters following the company’s AGM and EGM in Shah Alam on Nov 24, Kasi blamed slow sales, delays in construction and provisions for late delivery charges as the main causes of the weaker financial performance. He said that in order to maintain FY05’s performance, MK Land would have to launch new products and...

For possibly the first time, 147 Orang Asli families were given something the original inhabitants of this land had never been given before: individual land titles. The handing-over ceremony at the Desa Temuan Bukit Lanjan community hall near here was to have marked the end of a 10-year development project by MK Land Berhad to bring the Orang Asli of Bukit Lanjan into the mainstream with an innovative compensation package. It is also the beginning of a new way of empowering the Orang Asli and is set to become the yardstick by which other Orang Asli compensation schemes will be measured. In the past, the Orang Asli as a community could not own land. What ancestral land they had was held in trust for them by the Government. If they were made to vacate the land for development, they would be compensated with land elsewhere — but the land was communal property. If an Orang Asli left the community, he left the land. Which is what makes today’s handing over of individual title d...

Odd balls to roll over to playgrounds By K.W.MAK The weird looking balls at the SS3 junction are "a mistake." THE weird looking balls at the SS3 junction will be moved to playgrounds around Petaling Jaya. Kampung Tunku assemblyman Datuk Dr Wong Sai Hou said the balls were a mistake. "The balls were an idea that was based on MK Land's Damansara Perdana landscaping and were supposed to sport the council's colours and be an artistic representation of Petaling Jaya Municipal Council’s progressiveness," said Dr Wong. "However, on the day when they were put up, the Landscape Department director Zuraidah Sainan was in hospital and the contractor that was doing the job did not know how to arrange them," he added. The fibreglass balls, purportedly costing RM500 each, will be shifted after the holidays and replaced by plants that do not obstruct the view of motorists. StarMetro highlighted the matter on Oct 22 after residents called ...

Metropolis, a new column on everything you wanted to know about a neighbourhood, features highlights, its history, places of interest and the goings-on in the area. Today, JAYAGANDI JAYARAJ stops by at Damansara Perdana and Mutiara Damansara T HE view of Damansara Perdana from Perdana View Condo is impressive. It overlooks a well-planned bungalow housing area while the surrounding hills offer a sense of peace. Even better is the constant waft of wind that sweeps through the condominium’s pool sides. The skyline 'littered' with popular names. “The location of Damansara Perdana is excellent,” said Damansara Perdana Exclusive Condo residents’ association secretary Nicholas Tay. “It is ideal as everything we need is in the vicinity.” Tay, 35, is one of several young married couples who have made Damansara Perdana, developed by MK Land Holdings six years ago, their home. It was previously the Orang Asli Temuan settlement. Today, the area features me...
