He added that both the Klang Valley and Penang are familiar markets with strong demand and significant development prospects.
"Our balanced approach through a mix of JV and direct acquisitions gives us the flexibility to grow sensibly and allocate capital towards future growth opportunities.
"Ultimately, we remain focused on building a strong, future-ready pipeline that enhances our property development profile and earnings visibility, while continuing to excel in our core construction business," Tee said.
