Gamuda Land acquires 336-acre plot for RM248.7m
This expansion is a move to leverage the success of the adjacent Gamuda Cove, where substantial investments have already been made, resulting in a thriving community. The land was acquired for RM248.7 million, with an estimated GDV of RM2.2 billion.
The newly acquired land, strategically positioned south of Gamuda Cove, serves as the southern gateway to the township. Nestled between the lush Paya Indah Discovery Wetlands and the Elite Highway, this acquisition allows Gamuda Land to maximise its placemaking initiatives while capitalising on existing infrastructure investments.
The expansion will also provide alternative access routes via Jalan Dengkil–Banting/Bangi, further enhancing the township's accessibility and appeal to a broader market.
With most of the planned landed residences in Gamuda Cove already launched, this acquisition is a timely move to replenish Gamuda Cove's residential offerings. The new land parcel will introduce a fresh range of residential products tailored to meet the growing demand for quality landed homes set amidst a master-planned township, ensuring the continued success of Gamuda Cove as a premier residential and commercial hub in the southern corridor of Klang Valley.
Gamuda Land CEO Chu Wai Lune said, 'This strategic land acquisition is a continuation of the success we have achieved with Gamuda Cove. Our proven track record in creating sustainable, thriving communities has been demonstrated by the strong uptake of our landed properties, with an average of over 90% sold since 2019. This expansion not only reinforces our commitment to delivering quality homes but also allows us to enhance the overall vibrancy of the township, ensuring it remains a sought-after destination for both residents and investors.'
By the end of 2026, Gamuda Cove will have delivered over 5,000 homes, establishing a substantial resident population that provides a strong foundation to support and drive its commercial activities. Gamuda Land's next focus is to deliver commercial vibrancy through strategic partnerships. Additionally, the company secured partnerships with various organ-isations to enhance placemaking in Gamuda Cove, including the introduction of eco-tourism activities at the 90-acre Wetlands Arboretum and Paya Indah Discovery Wetlands. These initiatives will complement existing attractions such as SplashMania Waterpark and Discovery Park, further enriching the township's appeal.
These new offerings will create a dynamic, family-friendly destination that encourages visitors and tourists to support businesses in Townsquare and the upcoming Cove Centrum retail hub. Gamuda Cove is also ready to welcome ASAI Gamuda Cove hotel in 2026, a lifestyle hotel developed in partnership with Dusit International Group.
Accessibility to Gamuda Cove will be further complemented via the Cyberjaya toll-free interchange which is targeted to be ready in August 2025. This new interchange will significantly improve con-nectivity, reducing travel times to and from Cyberjaya to under 15 minutes.
Gamuda Land's masterplanning approach integrates sustainability and community-centric design, ensuring a well-balanced township that harmonises with nature. Future developments in the newly acquired land will incorporate biophilic design elements and sustainable construction methods, reinforcing Gamuda Land's commitment to reducing carbon footprints and enhancing liveability.
To date, Gamuda Land has delivered over 60,000 homes, showcasing its strong track record in township development. This latest acquisition aligns with the company's balanced approach to township development, ensuring long-term growth while complementing its Quick Turnaround Project strategy. It also supports Gamuda Land's broader plan to invest RM10.5 billion over the next five years, with a total GDV of RM26 billion, focusing on growth corridors in Vietnam, Malaysia, and the UK.

Bursa Review: Bursa Malaysia Ends Mixed As Trade Jitters Offset Fiscal Boost
Bursa Malaysia ended the week of July 21 on a mixed note as investors weighed positive domestic economic data and government fiscal support against lingering concerns over US-Malaysia trade tensions. The benchmark FBM KLCI hovered in a narrow range between 1,524 and 1,540 throughout the week, reflecting cautious investor sentiment. It opened on July 21 at 1,524.59, slipping slightly as profit-taking activity followed the prior week's rally. Broad-based losses in mid- and small-cap counters, along with weaker regional cues, pressured the broader market. Investor appetite remained subdued early in the week, despite Malaysia's stronger-than-expected second-quarter GDP growth of 4.5%, beating market forecasts of 4.2%. Optimism picked up mid-week on the back of positive Wall Street earnings and selective foreign inflows into blue-chip stocks. On July 24, the KLCI surged 0.69% to close at a weekly high of 1,540.32, buoyed by the government's latest fiscal measures, including cash handouts, fuel subsidies and a freeze on toll hikes aimed at easing the cost of living. The policy support sparked renewed buying interest in consumer-related and construction-linked stocks. However, gains were pared on July 25 as investors turned cautious ahead of the weekend, with uncertainty looming over potential US tariff adjustments affecting Malaysian exports. The KLCI retreated 0.43% to settle at 1,533.76, as heavyweights such as Maybank, Public Bank and TNB booked modest losses. Market breadth was mixed throughout the week. Among the most actively traded stocks was NexG Bhd, which posted high volumes driven by speculative interest. Meanwhile, Sunway Construction Group Bhd saw sharp losses early in the week on heavy institutional selling, though bargain hunting helped stabilize selected counters later in the week. Turnover remained moderate, averaging RM2.2-RM2.3 billion daily, as investors largely stayed on the sidelines awaiting greater clarity on global trade developments and the upcoming corporate earnings season. Looking ahead, analysts expect the FBM KLCI to continue consolidating in the near term. Related

Businessman Loses Over RM2.2 Mln In Separate Scams Just Months Apart
KUANTAN, July 24 (Bernama) -- A businessman lost over RM2.2 million in separate scams just months apart this year, after falling for fake investment schemes advertised on Facebook. Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said that in May, the 45-year-old man was lured by a scheme and contacted an individual via WhatsApp. He then made 18 transactions totaling RM1.86 million to six bank accounts between May 14 and July 15, 2025. 'The victim received a return of over RM20,000, which convinced him to continue investing. However, last Tuesday, he was asked to make an additional RM88,000 payment for a 'fast withdrawal' process. 'He refused, and checks via the Semak Mule portal revealed the bank accounts involved had criminal records,' he said in a statement today. Yahaya added that previously, the victim fell for a similar scam, losing RM440,000 through 13 transactions between February and May this year. 'In this case, he did not receive any returns and was instead asked to pay a 20 percent 'tax' to withdraw the funds. He refused after suspecting it was a scam. 'As a result, the businessman lost over RM2.2 million, comprising his savings and money borrowed from friends,' he said. He added that the victim lodged a police report at the Maran police headquarters yesterday, and the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.
