RHB sees long-term growth potential in Carey Island development
KUALA LUMPUR: RHB Investment Bank Bhd has maintained its "Buy" recommendation on Sime Darby Property Bhd, citing strong prospects from the group's upcoming industrial development at Carey Island in Selangor. The research house sees Carey Island as a promising economic growth corridor, driven by its close proximity to port infrastructure and the final ECRL terminal at Port Klang, positioning the area as a key logistics and industrial hub. "The government also has plans for a new port at Carey Island in the future. The joint venture will further strengthen Sime Darby Property's presence on the west side of the Klang Valley, as it has already established a strong foothold in Bandar Bukit Raja, Subang Jaya, and Elmina," RHB said in a note. Last Friday, Sime Darby Property and SD Guthrie Bhd signed a joint venture agreement to develop up to 809 hectares of land in Carey Island. The project is still at the planning stage, and no details were provided on land price, gross development value or effective stake. "However, although SD Guthrie may hold a majority stake in the joint venture as it is the landowner, we think Sime Darby Property may play a major role in the development, given the latter's experience and track record in industrial development," RHB said. RHB believes Carey Island holds strong long-term growth prospects, supported by Sime Darby Group's proven track record in developing key economic corridors such as the Guthrie Corridor, Subang Jaya, and Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0. "Carey Island may be a new growth corridor in the next 10 to 15 years. It has been identified by the government as the new site for a world-class port due to its strategic location near Port Klang and proximity to Pulau Indah," it said. The research firm also noted that the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), currently under construction, will terminate at Port Klang, with planned extensions to Westport and Northport, further enhancing the area's connectivity. Additionally, Sime Darby Property currently operates two estates and palm oil mills on Carey Island, which RHB said could serve as a foundation for its upcoming industrial development. In the future, the joint industrial development should mainly cater to supporting the import/export industries that are highly dependent on the port facilities, it said. "We make no changes to our forecasts and valuations for now, as the development may only start in four to five years, since infrastructure and land-clearing works will need to be completed first. "Overall, we are positive on this strategic tie-up, as it marks a new milestone in collaborating with SD Guthrie. Sime Darby Property may be able to tap into more development opportunities with SD Guthrie over the longer term, given the latter's huge land resources," RHB said.

Sime Darby Property ups minimum wage for B40 workers by 80pct to RM2,700
PETALING JAYA: Sime Darby Property Bhd has raised the minimum living wage for employees in the B40 income group by 80 per cent, from RM1,500 to RM2,700 a month, as part of its commitment to employee well-being and inclusive growth. Its chairman Datuk Rizal Rickman Ramli said the adjustment takes into account the increased cost of living and aims to provide better financial support for lower-income employees. "This initiative highlights our commitment to financial stability and the well-being of our workforce, particularly those most impacted by rising living costs," he said in the group's integrated annual report 2024. The wage hike is part of Sime Darby Property's wider workforce development efforts under its SHIFT25 transformation plan. In 2024, the company recorded a 43 per cent increase in employee training hours and introduced new programmes in areas such as artificial intelligence, sustainable development and urban biodiversity. Rizal said these measures come as the group looks to upskill its workforce in line with evolving industry demands and growing environmental, social and governance expectations. Sime Darby Property's new minimum wage of RM2,700 exceeds the national statutory floor by RM1,000. Under the government's revised minimum wage policy, the monthly wage floor was raised to RM1,700 beginning February this year for employers with five or more workers. Companies with fewer than five employees have until August to comply. Non-compliance is an offence under the National Wages Consultative Council Act 2011 (Act 732) and may result in penalties. The new national rate, announced in Budget 2025, is expected to benefit over 4.3 million workers across the country.

To be built by Singapore-based supply chain and logistics conglomerate YCH Group in partnership with Sime Darby Property, the RM500mil valued project will see the construction of a modern smart logistics facility in Bandar Bukit Raja.

'Combined with planned sustainability solutions, this project is set to accelerate industrial transformation through advanced supply chain solutions and logistics innovation. 'This facility will elevate Malaysia's logistics industry to a new level of global competitiveness,' he said in his speech at the project's groundbreaking ceremony here yesterday. Tengku Zafrul also revealed that the project will help train local talent for these automated systems with the integration of Singapore's LEARN ecosystem through collaboration with Singapore's Supply Chain and Logistics Academy (Scala). 'This will ensure our local hired talents are equipped with higher-end skills while future-proofing our supply chain ecosystem,' he said. Tengku Zafrul also said SCC MY is the first project under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030) and is a testament to increasing regional cooperation in Asean. 'This project embodies the spirit of innovation, collaboration and resilience that defines our nation and the region while also being a testament to our commitment to fostering sustainable growth and regional integration. 'The government, through Miti and other relevant agencies, stands ready to support this endeavour and ensure its success,' he added. YCH Group executive chairman Robert Yap said SCC MY would set new standards of logistics excellence in the country. 'We are dedicated to training local talent, empowering them with essential skills to support Malaysia's journey to become a preferred destination for global businesses,' he said. Yap also revealed that the project will integrate sustainable solutions to its operations like renewable energy through the use of solar panels across its entire rooftop of the facility. He added that YCH will also look to invest in local start-ups and help integrate them into SCC MY's planned logistics ecosystem. Sime Darby Property group managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Azmir Merican said the project will strengthen and bring much needed innovation to local supply chain infrastructure. 'YCH brings a strong regional portfolio that will strengthen Bandar Bukit Raja as a strategic point in the regional supply chain network. 'This project is a timely example of much-needed cross-border collaboration, aligning with the region's shared focus on economic integration, sustainable and inclusive growth. 'Through our collaboration, we hope to strengthen trade linkages, support innovation and contribute meaningfully to broader regional priorities,' he said.
