I think it's good for us to stop Non-Productive & Nonconstructive arguments here. Don't prove anything but to further improve our portfolio's performance. Overall, Mr. Market will be the only one right & the only winner at all times.
Hong Leong is such a big group but not all biz is good. Mr Quek also had bad experience in investing TH Heavy Engineering. Hope this is not the 2nd :).
WB also had bad experience on Tesco & others. KYY & Fong SiLing also had couples of failures before.

KUALA LUMPUR: Eco World Development Group Berhad (EcoWorld Malaysia) announced today that following the launch in June 2018 of its #OnlyEcoWorld campaign accompanied by the EcoWorld Help2Own (EW-H2O) financing package, its sales have rebounded strongly. As at 31 August 2018 total sales achieved has reached RM2 billion, which is more than double the total sales of RM923 million recorded in the first six months of the financial year.
On the financial front, revenues from sales of EcoWorld brand properties in Malaysia also grew strongly.
As at 3Q YTD 2018, RM1.55 billion revenue was recorded by the Group’s subsidiaries and RM705.4 million recorded by its Malaysian joint-ventures of which the Group’s effective share, based on its equity stakes in the respective joint-ventures, amounted to RM374.8 million.
This contributed to the steady growth in EcoWorld Malaysia’s core earnings – its Core EBIT (Earnings before Interest & Tax) grew by 10.9% from RM64.7 million in 3Q 2017 to RM71.8 million in 3Q 2018 whilst Core PBT for 3Q YTD 2018 was 6.2% higher than 3Q YTD 2017.
The main reasons for the improvement in EcoWorld Malaysia’s Core EBIT and Core PBT include the following: • Commencement of revenue and profit recognition by all of the Group’s joint-venture projects, • 52% reduction in selling & marketing expenses (3Q YTD 2018 vs 3Q YTD 2017) – this is due to the strategic shift by the Group towards more impactful yet cost-effective digital marketing platforms coupled with targeted on-ground marketing strategies employed by its matured projects, and • 14.5% savings on administrative expenses as compared to 3Q YTD 2017 arising from various cost savings measures implemented during the financial year.
Tan Sri Liew, Chairman of EcoWorld Malaysia said “Going forward, the prospects for EcoWorld Malaysia and EcoWorld International remain very bright. The team has worked extremely hard to turn challenges at home and abroad into opportunities to further extend our market reach and entrench the EcoWorld brand in the minds of homeowners and institutional investors. Their unrelenting pace, passion and commitment to excellence over the last five years have borne fruit as evidenced in the improvement in both sales numbers and financial results achieved in the current quarter”.
“As at 31 August 2018 EcoWorld Malaysia’s and EcoWorld International’s effective share of unbilled progress billings stand at RM6.16 billion and RM6 billion respectively. Our large number of ongoing projects, the increasing maturity of the our Malaysian landbank coupled with the growing pipeline of new projects secured by EcoWorld International also provides with us a strong foundation on which to anchor our growth ambitions. In this regard, the EcoWorld brand’s remaining GDV to be developed amounts to approximately RM86.5 billion on a combined basis – this will assure the sustainability of the Group’s local and international business model for many years to come” he added.
