After averaging down yearly since 2016 just b4 the ex-dividend date to just under 45c, I fortuitously SOLD just over half my stake @ between 45.5c-47c lately...the first ever, though small, capital gain on this stock !
Will wait @ 40c to rebuild my position closer to the ex-dividend date!🤗
FD Idzham, Business Development & Corporate Strategy at Glomac Berhad, who is the son of Datuk Fateh Iskandar, who is also the group managing director and chief executive officer, owns another 19.17% stake in Glomac recently married to Sultan Pahang's daughter, August 2024.
Glomac Bhd says it should benefit from potential heightened activities in Johor with the proposed introduction of a special financial zone in Forest City, and a possible revival of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high speed rail project.
The company is bullish given its existing presence in Johor through the Sri Saujana and Saujana Jaya township developments, which have a combined landbank totaling 238 acres and a total potential estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM800 million.
In Johor, Glomac has about 165 acres of land in Kulai as well as in Ulu Tiram.
“We bought this land (in Ulu Tiram) a long time ago, in 1996 [about 500 acres then]. We have [yet to develop] the last 10% of the 500 acres, which works out to maybe another 50 to 60 acres,” says FD Iskandar.
He is optimistic about the prospects of the Johor property market, given the increase in foreign direct investments into the state in recent years, particularly in the data centre space.
“This will hopefully provide good-paying jobs, high-paying jobs. And the people will need houses, shops, commercial areas and whatnot, right? Not everybody can do data centres, so we’ll provide the housing and the commercial centres.”
He adds that the biggest market for property in Johor is still Malaysians working in Singapore, rather than from the new jobs that will be created by the influx of data centre investments.
The land in Kulai is strategically located as it is near the Second Link and Johor-Singapore Causeway, which is still the main route for Johoreans to get to Singapore every day for work, says FD Iskandar.
“Now, we are about to launch another 120 residential units. But once we do this, we are looking at the commercial side. Because we are only, like, 5km away from the Second Link and we are nearer to the [Johor Bahru] city centre.”
