Rationale
Rasional
“The cactus rose symbolises durability and sustainability –
JLand’s core development and corporate philosophy. Its
radiating petals denote symmetry and orderly growth – the
way JLand has progressed from building house units to
residential neighbourhoods to thriving township. The succulent
petals of the plant depict JLand’s capacity to endure the
challenging economic climate.”
“Ros kaktus melambangkan ketahanan serta kelestarian –
iaitu teras kepada pembangunan dan falsafah korporat JLand.
Kelopaknya yang bersemarak melambangkan pertumbuhan
yang sekata dan tersusun – seperti mana JLand berkembang
maju daripada membina unit-unit rumah kepada perjiranan
kediaman dan seterusnya kepada perbandaran yang pesat
membangun. Ketebalan kelopak tumbuhan ini adalah
gambaran kepada keupayaan JLand untuk mengharungi
persekitaran ekonomi yang serba mencabar.”

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are delighted to present the Annual
Report and Financial Statements of Johor Land Berhad (“JLand” or “the Group”)
for the financial year ended 31 December 2008 (“FY2008”).
Para Pemegang Saham,
Bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah,
kami dengan sukacitanya
membentangkan L aporan
T ahunan dan P enyata
Kewangan Johor Land Berhad
(“JLand” atau “Kumpulan”) bagi
tahun kewangan berakhir
31 Disember 2008 (“TK2008”).

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
The year 2008 brought with it a challenging operating environment even as the effects of the global financial meltdown and ensuing
recession were felt throughout the world. Bank Negara Malaysia (“the Central Bank of Malaysia”) reported that the Malaysian
economy experienced slower growth in 2008 with gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth dropping to 4.6% against 6.3% growth in
2007. The Malaysian construction industry too was not spared the flood of challenges triggered off by the unprecedented upsurge
in crude oil prices and the ripple effects of the global financial meltdown. From the 18% to 26% rise in electricity tariffs, to the
sudden 20% to 30% spike in building material costs, to the massive 40% rise in petrol pump prices, industry players were inundated
by one challenge after another.
As a consequence, the project margins of many players dwindled. Forced to adopt a cautious approach, key players put mega projects
on hold while carefully scrutinising all expansion opportunities. Others decided to tender for new jobs only when prices stabilised. By
the time price fluctuations had evened out around the end of the third quarter of 2008, many players were left with lower revenue and
reduced profitability. These market uncertainties led to demand for property weakening over 2008 and buyers becoming more prudent
with their spending. Even as many buyers adopted a wait-and-watch stance, the property market sector began to get softer. At the time
of writing, all sectors of the Malaysian economy including the construction and property sectors are feeling the ripple effects of the global
crisis and a more challenging outlook is expected for 2009.
PERSEKITARAN OPERASI
Tahun 2008 telah membawa bersamanya persekitaran operasi yang mencabar dengan
kesan kegawatan kewangan global dan disusuli kemelesetan yang dirasai di seluruh dunia.
Bank Negara Malaysia (“Bank Pusat Malaysia”) melaporkan bahawa ekonomi Malaysia
mengalami pertumbuhan yang lebih perlahan pada tahun 2008 dengan pertumbuhan
keluaran dalam negara kasar (“KDNK”) jatuh kepada 4.6% berbanding dengan pertumbuhan
sebanyak 6.3% pada tahun 2007. Industri pembinaan Malaysia juga tidak terkecuali dilanda
cabaran yang disebabkan oleh lonjakan harga minyak mentah yang tidak pernah terjadi
sebelumnya serta kesan getaran kegawatan kewangan global. Dengan kenaikan tarif
elektrik dari 18% kepada 26%, serta lonjakan mendadak dari 20% kepada 30% dalam kos
bahan binaan, sehinggalah kepada kenaikan yang tinggi sebanyak 40% bagi harga minyak
petrol, para penggiat industri berterusan dilanda satu demi satu cabaran.
Akibatnya, margin projek kebanyakan penggiat industri telah merosot. Pendekatan yang
lebih berhati-hati terpaksa digunapakai dan penggiat utama perlu menangguhkan projek
mega sambil meneliti secara terperinci semua peluang perkembangan. Yang lain pula
memutuskan untuk mendapatkan kerja-kerja baru hanya setelah harga stabil. Apabila turun
naik harga menjadi lebih terkawal pada persekitaran akhir suku ketiga tahun 2008, ramai
penggiat memperolehi hasil yang lebih rendah serta penguncupan keuntungan.
Ketidaktentuan pasaran telah menyebabkan permintaan terhadap hartanah berkurangan
sepanjang tahun 2008 dan para pembeli menjadi lebih berhemat dalam perbelanjaan.
Dengan ramai pembeli mengambil sikap tunggu dan lihat, sektor hartanah mula mengalami
kelembapan. Ketika penyata ini ditulis, semua sektor ekonomi Malaysia termasuk sektor
pembinaan dan hartanah sedang merasai kesan gegaran krisis global dan ramalan untuk
tahun 2009 dijangkakan lebih mencabar.
26
Amidst this weak operating environment,
JLand once again demonstrated its
resilience and ability to adapt to changing
business conditions. The many years of
experience and expertise garnered from
owning strategically located land banks
and developing property projects ranging
from affordable homes to exclusive
neighbourhoods, continued to hold us in
good stead over 2008. In order to attract
buyers, we continued to focus our efforts
on creating product differentiation through
innovative designs and competitive
pricing. To ensure that the new units
could easily be absorbed by the market,
we embarked on a strategy of rolling out
new projects in staggered phases instead
of launching the entire project up front as
is normally done. In line with our strategy
of creating affordable and value-for-money
products, we continued to keep a close
eye on product mix, unit built-up and
pricing.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
We are pleased to report that despite the
flagging operating environment, the Group
experienced stellar growth for the financial
year ended 31 December 2008 with
revenue increasing by 118.91% to
RM138.69 million from RM63.36 million in
the preceding year. This improved
performance was attributable to higher
sales and progress billings from our core
property projects. Similarly, profit before
tax (“PBT”) increased to RM25.29 million
in FY2008 compared to PBT of RM8.27
million in FY2007.
The quality of the Group’s balance sheet
too improved with net tangible assets
growing to RM653.33 million in 2008,
against the RM640.47 million recorded in
the preceding year. JLand’s gearing to
date remains at a minimal level in line
with FY2007’s ratio (0.28 in 2008 against
0.22 in 2007).
DIVIDENDS
The Group is highly appreciative of our
shareholders’ support and commitment
and we are consistently looking for ways
to return value to you. For the year under
review, the Board of Directors paid an
interim dividend of 4% gross (less
Malaysian income tax at 25%) on
30 January 2009. We cherish our
shareholders’ confidence in the Group,
and ask that you continue to lend us your
strong support and steadfast commitment
as we work together to face all
challenges.
Biarpun berlatarkan persekitaran operasi yang
lemah, JLand sekali lagi memperlihatkan
ketahanan serta kemampuannya untuk
berhadapan dengan keadaan perniagaan
yang berubah. Berbekalkan pengalaman dan
kepakaran yang diraih selama bertahun-tahun
dengan memiliki simpanan tanah di lokasi
yang strategik serta membangunkan projek
hartanah yang terdiri daripada rumah mampu
milik sehinggalah kepada perjiranan yang
eksklusif, ia terus meletakkan kami pada
kedudukan yang kukuh sepanjang tahun
2008. Dalam usaha untuk menarik para
pembeli, kami terus menumpukan usaha
untuk mencipta perbezaan dalam produk
menerusi reka bentuk inovatif serta penetapan
harga yang kompetitif. Bagi memastikan unitunit baru dapat diterima di pasaran, kami
telah memulakan strategi pelancaran projek
baru dalam fasa yang berperingkat berbanding
dengan pelancaran keseluruhan projek sekali
gus seperti yang biasa dilakukan. Seiring
dengan strategi kami untuk menghasilkan
produk yang mampu dimiliki dan memberi
nilai untuk wang, kami terus memberi tumpuan
kepada campuran produk, binaan unit dan
penetapan harga.
CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT
JLand’s proposed acquisition of a 50.98%
equity stake in Windsor Trade Holdings
Sdn Bhd (“WTHSB”) for a cash
consideration of RM15 million is pending
finalisation. WTHSB, through its 80%
owned company Windsor Trade Sdn Bhd,
has been granted a 30-year concession
for the operation of the Sandakan
Integrated Trade Exchange Terminal
(“SITExT”) in Sabah under the “build,
operate, own and transfer” concept. The
remaining 20% is in the hands of the
Sabah Economic Development
Corporation.
PRESTASI KEWANGAN
Kami dengan sukacitanya melaporkan
bahawa biarpun persekitaran operasi kian
lemah, Kumpulan mengalami pertumbuhan
yang cemerlang bagi tahun kewangan
berakhir 31 Disember 2008 dengan
peningkatan perolehan sebanyak 118.91%
kepada RM138.69 juta daripada RM63.36
juta pada tahun sebelumnya. Peningkatan
prestasi ini berpunca daripada jualan dan
tuntutan kemajuan kerja yang lebih tinggi
daripada projek hartanah utama kami.
Justeru itu, keuntungan sebelum cukai
meningkat kepada RM25.29 juta bagi
TK2008 berbanding dengan keuntungan
sebelum cukai sebanyak RM8.27 juta bagi
TK2007.
Kualiti lembaran imbangan Kumpulan juga
bertambah baik dengan aset ketara bersih
meningkat kepada RM653.33 juta pada
tahun 2008, berbanding RM640.47 juta yang
dicatatkan pada tahun sebelumnya. Sehingga
kini, penggearan JLand kekal pada tahap
minimum, setara dengan nisbah TK2007
(0.28 pada tahun 2008 berbanding 0.22
pada tahun 2007).
DIVIDEN
Kumpulan amat menghargai sokongan serta
komitmen para pemegang saham dan kami
sentiasa berusaha untuk memberi pulangan
kepada anda. Untuk tahun di bawah kajian,
Lembaga Pengarah telah membayar dividen
interim sebanyak 4% kasar (ditolak 25%
cukai pendapatan Malaysia) pada 30 Januari
2009. Kami menghargai keyakinan para
pemegang sah am terhadap Kumpulan, dan
berharap agar anda terus memberi sokongan
yang padu serta komitmen yang teguh dalam
kita bersama-sama berusaha menangani
segala cabaran.
PERKEMBANGAN KORPORAT
Cadangan pengambilalihan 50.98%
kepentingan ekuiti dalam Windsor Trade
Holdings Sdn Bhd (“WTHSB”) oleh JLand
dengan pertimbangan bayaran sebanyak
RM15 juta, kini dalam proses penyelesaian.
WTHSB, menerusi 80% pemilikan syarikat
ke atas Windsor Trade Sdn Bhd, telah
diberikan konsesi selama 30 tahun untuk
operasi Sandakan Integrated Trade Exchange
Terminal (“SITExT”) di Sabah di bawah
konsep “bina, kendali, milik dan pindah”.
Baki 20% lagi dipegang oleh Perbadanan
Kemajuan Ekonomi Negeri Sabah.

Bandar Dato’ Onn
JLand’s latest property offering, Bandar
Dato’ Onn, promises to be one of the
most sought-after addresses in Iskandar
Malaysia. Spread over 1,514 acres of
freehold land and located only 12 km
from the Johor Bahru city centre, this
premier development has been planned
as a self-contained city and a place for
more than 90,000 residents to call home.
The township is scheduled to be
completed over a 10 to 15-year period
and will feature approximately 17,800
properties with expected gross sales and
gross profit of RM4.0 billion and RM1.2
billion respectively.
Bandar Dato’ Onn is accessible via a
dedicated interchange that provides direct
uninterrupted access to the township. The
township will incorporate some 19
thoroughly planned, exclusive
neighbourhoods aimed at bringing out the
finest aspects of community living, plus a
vibrant 118-acre commercial hub. These
distinctive features, as well as its emphasis
on green areas and recreational parks,
will make Bandar Dato’ Onn one of the
most beautiful and modern townships in
Southern Malaysia to live in.

HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT
JLand is committed to developing the full
potential of one of our greatest assets –
our people. At every step of the way we
are continuously looking out for the
people that make us proud of doing what
we do. Our human capital development
system is essentially a two-way
relationship. We provide the opportunity
for all our employees to develop to their
highest potential and hold in high esteem,
the contributions, hard work, knowledge
and skills that our employees bring to the
table. We like to think of this synergy as
a meeting of minds and take pride that
we have successfully managed to
establish a powerful, self motivated and
independent thinking workforce that is
both robust and competitive.
The basic job requirements at JLand call
for the employment of support staff with
a SPM certificate and junior executives
with a diploma, while executives and
senior executives and management
require a basic degree. Senior
Management level personnel are also
encouraged to have an MBA. Excellent
performers without the required academic
background may also be promoted
depending on performance, vacancies
and recommendations from their superiors
and approval from top management.
Kami terus memegang 30.07%
kepentingan dalam Revertex (Malaysia)
Sdn Bhd, iaitu salah sebuah pengeluar
pati susu getah asli serta bahan kimia
industri terbesar di dunia. Untuk TK2008,
syarikat telah memperolehi perolehan

RM44.01 juta berbanding perolehan
sebanyak RM531 juta dan keuntungan
sebelum cukai berjumlah RM41.71 juta
pada TK2007.
In line with our objective of enhancing the
competencies of our human capital, JLand
continues to bring well-crafted training
programmes into play. In 2008, we
invested RM348,200.00 (or 5% of our
emolument) on human capital and quality
training with an average of 35 training
hours per person for all 139 of our
employees. To equip our employees with
new knowledge and skills as well as to
upgrade their competencies, we rolled out
5-skill based training programmes,
39-knowledge based ones and 4
programmes focusing on attributes.
Nine of our middle managers and 13
senior executives were involved in a total
of 80 hours training related to effective
business presentation skills. Follow-up
sessions were held to assess the
participants’ progress and to provide
feedback on areas for improvement.
Going forward, practice sessions will be
arranged to further enhance the
presentation skills that these employees
have acquired. In the area of occupational
safety and health, members of our
Occupational Safety & Health Committee
as well as 34 technical staff and 27 of
our contractors and consultants were
involved in training relating to safety and
health measures in construction. This
training will go a long way in ensuring
that construction-related accidents,
hazards and risks are minimised.
PEMBANGUNAN MODAL INSAN
JLand komited dalam membangunkan
sepenuhnya potensi salah satu aset
terbesar kami – anggota pekerja kami.
Dalam setiap langkah yang diatur kami
terus mencari individu yang membuatkan
kami bangga dengan apa yang kami
lakukan. Sistem pembangunan modal
insan kami pada asasnya merupakan
hubungan dua hala. Kami menyediakan
peluang untuk semua anggota pekerja
kami mengembangkan potensi terbaik
mereka dan kami amat menghargai
sumbangan, kerja keras, pengetahuan
serta kemahiran yang dicurahkan oleh
anggota pekerja kami. Kami cenderung
menganggap sinergi ini sebagai suatu
persepakatan yang utuh dan berbangga
bahawa kami telah berjaya mewujudkan
tenaga kerja yang berkeupayaan, memiliki
motivasi diri dan tajam fikiran serta teguh
dan berdaya saing.
Kelayakan kerja yang asas di JLand
memerlukan pengambilan anggota pekerja
sokongan yang memiliki sijil SPM dan
eksekutif muda yang mempunyai diploma,
manakala eksekutif serta eksekutif kanan
dan pengurusan memerlukan ijazah asas.
Anggota pekerja peringkat pengurusan
kanan turut digalakkan mendapatkan
MBA. Anggota pekerja yang menunjukkan
prestasi cemerlang walaupun tanpa
latarbelakang akademik yang disyaratkan,
juga boleh diberi kenaikan pangkat,
bergantung kepada prestasi, kekosongan
jawatan serta sokongan dari Ketua
Jabatan mereka dan kelulusan daripada
pihak pengurusan atasan.
Selaras dengan matlamat kami untuk
memantapkan kecekapan modal insan
kami, JLand terus mengenengahkan
33
program-program latihan yang telah
dirangka dengan terperinci. Pada tahun
2008, kami telah melabur sebanyak
RM348,200.00 (atau 5% daripada
emolumen kami) dalam modal insan serta
latihan berkualiti dengan purata 35 jam
latihan setiap orang untuk kesemua 139
anggota pekerja kami. Bagi melengkapkan
anggota pekerja kami dengan pengetahuan
dan kemahiran baru serta
mempertingkatkan kecekapan mereka,
kami telah melancarkan 5 program latihan
berasaskan kemahiran, 39 berasaskan
pengetahuan dan 4 program yang
menumpukan kepada perlakuan.

perniagaan yang berkesan. Sesi lanjutan
telah diadakan untuk menilai kemajuan
para peserta dan bagi memberikan
maklum balas tentang perkara-perkara
yang boleh dipertingkatkan. Dalam
melangkah ke hadapan, sesi latihan akan
diatur bagi memantapkan lagi kemahiran
persembahan yang dimiliki anggota
pekerja ini. Dari segi keselamatan dan
kesihatan pekerjaan, anggota
Jawatankuasa Keselamatan & Kesihatan
Pekerjaan kami beserta 34 anggota
pekerja teknikal dan 27 kontraktor serta
konsultan kami telah terlibat dalam latihan
yang berkaitan dengan langkah-langkah
keselamatan dan kesihatan dalam bidang
pembinaan. Latihan ini akan memberikan

Some 22 of our Internal Quality Auditors
underwent a refresher course to improve
their audits skills as well as sharing the
sum of their experiences and knowledge
with one another. On top of this, we
conducted two courses to enhance the
concept and culture of “Kerja Sebagai
Ibadah”– work and career as a means of
doing good and attaining spiritual
fulfilment. We plan to conduct four more
similar sessions in 2009. The year also
saw 34 of our technical employees
undergoing refresher courses and sharing
experiences and knowledge relating to
building specifications. This programme
aims to ensure that the quality of our
products is in line with the required
industry standards. Another six of these
programmes will be organised in 2009.
JLand’s Social and Recreation Club also
undertook various fun-filled and familyoriented activities over the course of the
year which included the Group’s Sports
Day and Recreation Program With
Families at Sunway Lagoon. On top of
this, employees took part in the “Program
Tadarus Al-Quran” organised for
employees over the Ramadan month as
well as breaking of fast and Hari Raya
festive activities.
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES
The Group’s quality management
initiatives form an integral part of our core
business processes and highlight our
commitment to continually improving all
aspects of business performance. As
JLand focuses on being quality-inclined
and integrating monitoring and measuring
activities into key business processes, we
are strengthening our internal work culture
and becoming more effective. Even as
we commit to maintaining the highest
standards of quality in the products and
services we deliver, our quality
management system ensures that the
focus on competitive pricing, high quality
products, on-time delivery and excellent
customer service is sustained throughout
the Group.
The journey to quality excellence is a
never-ending one and to keep ourselves
constantly on our toes, we are actively
pursuing quality initiative such as JLand’s
Innovative Creative Circle (“ICC”) and
Suggestion Scheme. Our quality
improvement initiatives have not only
helped us to deliver better quality products
and services, they have helped elevate
the confidence and esteem of JLand’s
staff and have contributed significantly to
building a stronger team of high achievers.
In 2008, our ICC teams continued to give
of their best at the National Level Quality
Convention with five of our teams (i.e.
B’ONN, TOP Q, X-BEST, Symbiosis and
Q&D) receiving the Three Gold Star
Awards. Team B’ONN was named Overall
Winner for the Services Sector (National
Level) and the best among the top 10
teams. JLand was aptly chosen to receive
Appreciation Partner in Competitiveness
Creativity and Innovation Programme
Category (Service Sector) 2008 by
Malaysia Productivity Corporation,
attesting to the high standards of our
products and services.
Seramai 22 orang Juruaudit Kualiti Dalaman
kami telah menjalani kursus peningkatan
kefahaman bagi memantapkan lagi kemahiran
audit mereka di samping berkongsi
pengalaman dan pengetahuan antara satu
sama lain. Selain itu, kami telah mengendalikan
dua kursus bagi mempertingkatkan konsep
serta budaya “Kerja Sebagai Ibadah” – kerja
dan kerjaya sebagai wadah untuk melakukan
kebaikan dan memenuhi kepuasan rohaniah.
Kami merancang untuk mengadakan empat
lagi sesi yang sama pada tahun 2009. Tahun
ini turut menyaksikan 34 anggota pekerja
teknikal kami menjalani kursus peningkatan
kefahaman dan berkongsi pengalaman serta
pengetahuan yang berkaitan dengan
spesifikasi binaan. Program ini bertujuan

INISIATIF KECEMERLANGAN KUALITI
Inisiatif pengurusan kualiti Kumpulan
membentuk sebahagian penting proses bisnes
teras kami serta menyerlahkan iltizam kami
untuk terus memantapkan semua aspek
prestasi bisnes. Sedang JLand memberikan
penumpuan kepada kecenderungan terhadap
kualiti dan menyerapkan aktiviti pemantauan
serta pengukuran ke dalam proses bisnes
utama, kami turut memperkukuhkan budaya
kerja dalaman kami dan menjadikannya lebih
berkesan. Dalam kami beriltizam untuk
mengekalkan tahap kualiti yang tertinggi
dalam produk serta perkhidmatan yang kami
berikan, sistem pengurusan kualiti kami
memastikan bahawa fokus terhadap penetapan
harga yang kompetitif, produk berkualiti tinggi,
penyerahan yang tepat pada masanya serta
perkhidmatan pelanggan yang cemerlang
dikekalkan di serata Kumpulan.
Perjalanan ke arah kecemerlangan kualiti
merupakan perjalanan yang tiada
penghujungnya dan demi memastikan kami
sentiasa bersedia, kami aktif meneruskan
inisiatif kualiti seperti Innovative Creative
Circle (“ICC”) dan Skim Cadangan JLand.
Inisiatif penambahbaikan kualiti kami bukan
sekadar membantu kami memberikan kualiti
produk serta perkhidmatan yang lebih baik,
malah ia telah membantu meningkatkan
keyakinan dan harga diri anggota pekerja
JLand serta banyak menyumbang kepada
pembinaan sebuah pasukan yang lebih
mantap yang terdiri daripada mereka yang
berjaya meraih kejayaan cemerlang. Pada
tahun 2008, kumpulan ICC kami terus

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
PROGRAMME
Corporate Responsibility (“CR”) has long
been an integral part of the JLand’s
business philosophy. Creating value for
all stakeholders including our shareholders,
employees, regulatory authorities,
customers and the communities we
operate in, is essential to our long term
success and sustained growth. We seek
to enrich the lives of the needy and less
fortunate through sponsorship assistance
to NGOs, charitable organisations and
welfare institutions. Even as we reach out
to the communities we operate in, we in
turn are touched by the many lives we
have impacted and have became a better
company because of this.
In fulfilling our responsibilities to the
community, we invested close to RM0.5
million for our 2008 CR programme. This
included initiatives to enrich the community
through a focus on education. As a major
sponsor for “Tunas Bistari”, an
entrepreneurs’ development programme
organised by Johor Corporation in
collaboration with the Education
Department of Johor, we channelled
some RM150,000.00 towards the year’s
programme. This programme involves
students from secondary schools
throughout Johor coming together to set
up their own companies and acquire the
requisite knowledge and experience to
become good entrepreneurs. To date,
JLand has contributed more than RM1.5
million to the programme since 2001. We
also organised and sponsored the
“Bengkel UPSR” preparatory programme
for 250 students of Sekolah Kebangsaan
Taman Cendana and Sekolah Kebangsaan
Pasir Gudang 4 in collaboration with the
Education Department of Berita Harian.
Program TANGGUNGJAWAB
KORPORAT
Our support for the community over 2008
included a contribution of RM120,000.00
to the Darul Hanan orphanage in Pasir
Gudang. To date, JLand has donated
more than RM1.82 million to Darul Hanan
since the latter’s inception in 1996. A
sum of RM30,000.00 was also channelled
to the “Tabung Tijarah Ramadan”, a TV
programme aired during the Ramadan
fasting month. Organised by Johor
Corporation and Jabatan Kemajuan Islam
Malaysia (“JAKIM”), this TV production is
specially designed to help the poor and
less privileged in the community. To date,
RM150,000.00 was contributed to The
Tijarah Programme since its launching in
2005. We also channelled RM20,000.00
to the International Kites Festival and
RM10,000.00 to the Natoleo Waqaf
An-Nur Pasir Gudang Golf Tournament.
On top of this, JLand initiated a community
recycling initiative at Taman Bukit Dahlia
to inculcate a sense of environmental
consciousness among the area’s
residents.
Tanggungjawab Korporat sudah lama
menjadi sebahagian penting falsafah
perniagaan JLand. Mencipta nilai untuk
semua pihak yang berkepentingan
termasuk para pemegang saham, anggota
pekerja, pihak berkuasa kawal selia,
pelanggan serta komuniti di mana kami
beroperasi adalah penting untuk kejayaan
kami dalam jangka panjang dan
pertumbuhan yang mapan. Kami berusaha
memperbaiki kehidupan golongan yang
memerlukan dan kurang bernasib baik
menerusi bantuan penajaan kepada
Organisasi Bukan Kerajaan, badan amal
dan institusi kebajikan. Dalam kami
menghulurkan bantuan kepada komuniti
di mana kami beroperasi, kami kembali
tersentuh dengan begitu banyak kehidupan
yang berjaya diubah, lantas menjadikan
kami sebuah syarikat yang lebih baik.
Dalam memenuhi tanggungjawab kami
terhadap komuniti, kami telah melaburkan
hampir RM0.5 juta untuk program
Tanggungjawab Korporat pada tahun
2008. Ini termasuklah inisiatif untuk
memperkayakan komuniti menerusi
tumpuan terhadap pendidikan. Sebagai
penaja utama Tunas Bistari, iaitu sebuah
program pembangunan usahawan yang
dianjurkan oleh Johor Corporation dengan
kerjasama Jabatan Pelajaran Johor, kami
telah menyalurkan sejumlah RM150,000.00
kepada program ini untuk tahun 2008.
Program ini melibatkan para pelajar
daripada sekolah menengah di seluruh
Johor bekerjasama menubuhkan syarikat
mereka sendiri dan meraih pengetahuan
serta pengalaman yang diperlukan untuk
menjadi usahawan berjaya. Sehingga kini,
JLand telah menyumbang lebih dari RM1.5
juta kepada program tersebut sejak tahun
2001. Kami turut menganjur dan menaja
program persediaan Bengkel UPSR untuk
250 pelajar Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman
Cendana dan Sekolah Kebangsaan Pasir
Gudang 4 menerusi kerjasama dengan
Bahagian Pendidikan Berita Harian.
37
Sokongan kami terhadap komuniti
sepanjang tahun 2008 termasuklah
sumbangan berjumlah RM120,000.00
kepada rumah anak yatim Darul Hanan
di Pasir Gudang. Sehingga kini, JLand
telah mendermakan lebih daripada
RM1.82 juta kepada Darul Hanan sejak
ia ditubuhkan pada tahun 1996. Sejumlah
RM30,000.00 turut disalurkan kepada
Tabung Tijarah Ramadan, iaitu sebuah
program televisyen yang disiarkan pada
bulan Ramadan. Dikelolakan oleh Johor
Corporation dan Jabatan Kemajuan
Islam Malaysia (“JAKIM”), program
televisyen ini telah dirangka khusus
untuk membantu golongan miskin dan
kurang bernasib baik dalam komuniti.
Sehingga kini, sebanyak RM150,000.00
telah disumbangkan kepada Program
Tijarah sejak ia dilancarkan pada tahun
2005. Kami turut menyalurkan
RM20,000.00 kepada Festival LayangLayang Antarabangsa dan RM10,000.00
kepada Kejohanan Golf Natoleo Waqaf
An-Nur Pasir Gudang. Selain itu, JLand
telah melaksanakan Program Kitar
Semula dalam komuniti Taman Bukit
Dahlia bagi menerapkan rasa kesedaran
terhadap alam sekitar di kalangan para
penduduk setempat.

OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS
Operating Environment
The global economy is in the throes of an
unprecedented downturn. Despite
concerted interest rate cuts and liquidity
injection, the global credit crisis continues
to deepen with little sign of abating. The
International Monetary Fund has projected
world growth to fall to 0.5% in 2009, the
lowest rate since World War II. The US
economy is forecast to contract 1.65%,
the European Union 2%, and Japan
2.6%. Growth is expected to slow to 6.7%
in China and 5.1% in India, while the
ASEAN-5 is expected to experience some
2.7% growth.
In Malaysia, there has been little
consensus over our projected economic
growth for 2009. At the time of writing, in
view of the deeper decline in macro
indicators, the Malaysian Institute of
Economic Research and Bank Negara
Malaysia on altogether different fronts
have revised GDP growth downwards to
1.3% and between –1% and 1%
respectively. Increasing job losses, worsethan-expected trade numbers from
Malaysia’s main trading partners, as well
as slumping industrial production and
export figures, are beginning to result in
rapidly declining business and consumer
confidence as the reality of an impending
recession begins to sink in.
Prompted by the sharper deterioration of
the global economy in the fourth quarter
of 2008 and the increased risk of
contraction of the Malaysian economy,
Bank Negara Malaysia has to date cut its
benchmark Overnight Policy Rate (“OPR”)
three times to 2% from 3.5% in November
2008 (after leaving the OPR unchanged
at 3.5% for about three years). The
Statutory Reserve Requirement (“SRR”)
was also adjusted downwards from 2.0%
to 1.0% effective 1 March 2009 to further
reduce the cost of intermediation.
Fiscal pump-priming of the Malaysian
economy has been stepped up following
the tabling of a second stimulus package
worth RM60 billion in Parliament on
10 March 2009. This mini budget aims to
help companies and workers affected by
the global slowdown. It comes in the
wake of the first stimulus package worth
RM7 billion announced in November
2008, of which more than 70% has been
disbursed at the time of writing. While
global efforts have been intensified to
counter the effects of the slowdown, risks
remain on the downside and recovery is
likely to be slow and protracted all around.
While there are predictions of a marginal
improvement in Malaysia’s growth to
3.8% in 2010 in line with the World
Bank’s forecast of world growth at 3.0%
for the same year, only time will tell how
this plays out.
ISKANDAR MALAYSIA STIMULUS
Since its launch in November 2006,
Iskandar Malaysia had received RM43
billion worth of investments, far exceeding
the initial target of RM47 billion by the
year 2010. Investments into Iskandar
Malaysia are expected to create a spillover effect on other parts of the state of
Johor. The arrival of investors, be they
local or foreign investors, is expected to
PROSPEK DAN MASA DEPAN
Persekitaran Operasi
Ekonomi global kini berada di ambang
kemelesetan yang tidak pernah berlaku
sebelumnya. Sungguhpun terdapat potongan
kadar cukai yang bersepadu dan suntikan
kecairan, krisis kredit global terus meruncing
dengan tiada tanda akan reda. Tabung
Kewangan Antarabangsa telah mengunjurkan
pertumbuhan dunia akan jatuh kepada 0.5%
pada tahun 2009, iaitu kadar terendah sejak
Perang Dunia Kedua. Ekonomi Amerika
Syarikat diramalkan akan menguncup 1.65%,
Kesatuan Eropah 2% dan Jepun 2.6%.
Pertumbuhan dijangka akan perlahan kepada
6.7% di China dan 5.1% di India, sementara
ASEAN-5 dijangka akan mengalami
pertumbuhan dalam anggaran 2.7%.
Di Malaysia, tidak ada kesepakatan yang jitu
berhubung unjuran pertumbuhan ekonomi
bagi tahun 2009. Ketika penyata ini ditulis,
berdasarkan kepada penurunan yang
semakin meruncing dalam penunjuk makro,
Institut Penyelidikan Ekonomi Malaysia dan
Bank Negara Malaysia telah mengkaji
semula penurunan pertumbuhan KDNK,
masing-masing kepada 1.3% dan di antara
–1% dan 1%. Peningkatan kehilangan
pekerjaan, angka dagangan yang lebih teruk
dari jangkaan daripada rakan niaga utama
Malaysia, dan penurunan pengeluaran
perindustrian serta angka eksport, telah mula
mengakibatkan kemerosotan yang pantas
dalam bisnes serta keyakinan pengguna bila
mana hakikat akan berlakunya kemelesetan
mula dirasai.
Didorong oleh kemerosotan ekonomi global
yang lebih runcing pada suku keempat tahun
2008 serta meningkatnya risiko penguncupan
ekonomi Malaysia, Bank Negara Malaysia
buat masa ini telah mengurangkan tanda
aras Kadar Polisi Semalaman (“OPR”)
sebanyak tiga kali kepada 2% daripada 3.5%
pada November 2008 (setelah membiarkan
OPR tidak berubah pada kadar 3.5% selama
lebih kurang tiga tahun). Keperluan Rizab
Berkanun (“SRR”) turut dilaraskan menurun
daripada 2.0% kepada 1.0% berkuatkuasa
1 Mac 2009 bagi mengurangkan lagi kos
pengantaraan.
Rangsangan fiskal ekonomi Malaysia telah
dipertingkatkan berikutan pembentangan
pakej rangsangan kedua bernilai RM60 bilion
di Parlimen pada 10 Mac 2009. Bajet mini
ini bertujuan untuk membantu syarikatsyarikat dan para pekerja yang terjejas oleh
kegawatan global. Ia hadir selepas pakej
rangsangan pertama yang bernilai RM7
bilion diumumkan pada November 2008,
yang mana lebih dari 70% telahpun diagihkan
sewaktu penyata ini ditulis. Meskipun usaha
global telah dipertingkatkan bagi mengekang
kesan kegawatan, namun risiko kekal suram
dan pemulihan berkemungkinan perlahan
serta berlanjutan di serata tempat.
Sungguhpun terdapat ramalan peningkatan
yang marginal dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi
Malaysia kepada 3.8% pada tahun 2010,
yakni selaras dengan ramalan Bank Dunia
tentang pertumbuhan ekonomi dunia pada
kadar 3.0% untuk tahun yang sama, namun
hanya masa yang akan menentukannya.
RANGSANGAN ISKANDAR MALAYSIA
Sejak pelancarannya pada November 2006,
Iskandar Malaysia telah menerima pelaburan
bernilai RM43 bilion, jauh menjangkaui
sasaran awal sebanyak RM47 bilion
menjelang tahun 2010. Pelaburan ke atas
Iskandar Malaysia dijangka akan mewujudkan
kesan limpahan ke kawasan-kawasan lain di
negeri Johor. Kedatangan para pelabur,
sama ada pelabur tempatan atau asing,
dijangka akan mewujudkan peluang

create manifold job opportunities in this
region, while the presence of new
residents bodes well for the property
market in Southern Johor. Under the
Ninth Malaysian Plan (“9MP”), the Federal
Government has allocated RM6.8 billion
for infrastructure projects in Iskandar
Malaysia. To date, some 18 projects
worth RM1.6 billion that include road
packages, drainage projects and river
cleaning jobs, have been awarded.
Ultimately, once all these infrastructural
development projects come on-stream,
they will transform Johor into a world
class community.
The fact that JLand’s land banks are
strategically located right at the centre of
Iskandar Malaysia, bodes immensely well
for us. All in all, the Group is looking at
an estimated GDV of more than RM7
billion when these land banks are
eventually developed over the next 10 to
15 years.
GOING FORWARD
Going forward into 2009, as a result of
deteriorating global economic conditions,
the Malaysian economy is expected to
register lower growth. Consequently, the
property market is expected to soften
further even as property prices and
demand weakens between 5% and 10%
in 2009. Mindful of the economic
challenges on several fronts, JLand will
continue to take prudent and appropriate
measures to enable us to sustain our
performance.
Akin to other property players, JLand has
adopted a cautious stance amidst this
tough and uncertain operating environment.
To ride out this troubled period, we will
maintain our primary focus on preserving
capital value while undertaking cost
mitigating measures and deferring or
staggering our launches. Notwithstanding
the flagging economy, the Group expects
to sustain our performance for 2009 as
we take prudent measures to keep
construction costs in check and price our
pekerjaan yang berbagai di rantau ini,
manakala kehadiran penghuni baru
membawa petanda baik bagi pasaran
hartanah di Selatan Johor. Di bawah
Rancangan Malaysia Kesembilan
(“RMK9”), Kerajaan Persekutuan telah
memperuntukkan RM6.8 bilion untuk
projek prasarana di Iskandar Malaysia.
Sehingga kini, lebih 18 projek bernilai
RM1.6 bilion termasuk pakej jalan raya,
projek saliran serta kerja-kerja
pembersihan sungai telahpun diberikan.
Apabila kesemua projek pembangunan
prasarana ini mula beroperasi, ia akan
merubah Johor menjadi sebuah komuniti
bertaraf dunia.
products competitively. We will also
continue to be proactive in identifying
market preferences and will develop new
products in line with market needs. This
strategy will ultimately shape and drive
the sales of our products.
The Group’s business strategies have
been formulated based on market demand
in the geographical areas of Pasir
Gudang, Ulu Tiram and Tebrau. Each of
these areas has adopted a different
business strategy depending on market
demand. For example, our properties at
Bandar Dato’ Onn target those home
buyers looking to upgrade and incorporate
differential features and concepts in terms
of layout planning, design and finishes.
We will continue to conduct more in-depth
product research and development
initiatives to ensure that our products are
market-oriented and acceptable to buyers.
Today’s buyers are more concerned with
the elements of security and ensuring a
Hakikat bahawa simpanan tanah JLand
terletak di lokasi yang strategik, iaitu tepat
di tengah-tengah Iskandar Malaysia
merupakan petanda yang amat baik buat
kami. Secara keseluruhannya, Kumpulan
menganggarkan GDV melebihi RM7 bilion
apabila simpanan tanah ini dimajukan
kemudiannya dalam tempoh 10 hingga
15 tahun akan datang.
MELANGKAH KE HADAPAN
Dalam melangkah ke tahun 2009, akibat
daripada keadaan ekonomi global yang
kian merosot, ekonomi Malaysia dijangka
akan mencatatkan pertumbuhan yang
lebih rendah. Justeru itu, pasaran
hartanah dijangka akan bertambah
lembab dengan harga hartanah dan
permintaan menurun antara 5% dan 10%
pada tahun 2009. Menyedari akan
cabaran ekonomi berhubung beberapa
perkara, JLand akan terus mengambil
langkah yang bijak dan wajar bagi
membolehkan kami mengekalkan
prestasi.
Seperti mana penggiat hartanah yang
lain, JLand mengamalkan sikap berhatihati berdasarkan persekitaran operasi
yang sukar dan tidak menentu. Dalam
mengharungi tempoh yang sukar ini, kami
akan mengekalkan tumpuan utama kami
untuk memelihara nilai modal sambil
melaksanakan langkah-langkah
pengurangan kos serta menunda
pelancaran atau melakukannya secara
berperingkat. Sungguhpun ekonomi
41
merosot, Kumpulan menjangkakan dapat
mengekalkan prestasi kami untuk tahun
2009 dengan mengambil langkah yang
bijak untuk mengawasi kos pembinaan
dan menetapkan harga yang kompetitif
untuk produk kami. Kami juga akan terus
bersikap proaktif dalam mengenal pasti
keutamaan pasaran dan akan mencipta
produk-produk baru yang seiring dengan
keperluan pasaran. Strategi ini akhirnya
akan membentuk dan memacu penjualan
produk-produk kami.
Strategi bisnes Kumpulan telah dirumus
berdasarkan permintaan pasaran di
kawasan geografi Pasir Gudang, Ulu
Tiram dan Tebrau. Setiap kawasan ini
mengguna pakai strategi bisnes yang
berlainan mengikut permintaan pasaran.
Contohnya, hartanah kami di Bandar
Dato’ Onn mensasarkan pembeli rumah
yang mahukan peningkatan serta
penerapan ciri-ciri dan konsep yang
berbeza dari segi perancangan susun
atur, reka bentuk dan kemasan. Kami
akan terus melakukan kaji selidik produk
yang lebih mendalam serta inisiatif
pembangunan bagi memastikan produkproduk kami adalah berasaskan pasaran
dan boleh diterima pembeli. Para pembeli
hari ini lebih menitikberatkan unsur-unsur
keselamatan di samping memastikan
persekitaran yang sejahtera buat seluruh
keluarga. Oleh kerana itu kami harus
melakukan peningkatan secara konsisten,
mengekalkan kreativiti kami dan bersikap
inovatif dalam usaha kami untuk
memuaskan keinginan dan keperluan
para pelanggan kami yang bijak menilai.
Kami akan terus meneroka peluang projek
yang baru serta memajukan simpanan
tanah kami yang sedia ada di Tebrau,
Ulu Tiram dan Pasir Gudang. Kami akan
terus membina jenama JLand, mencipta
konsep pembangunan yang menarik serta
menghasilkan rumah berkualiti dan
perjiranan yang tersendiri buat para
pelanggan di perbandaran yang telah
siap kami majukan. Kami juga akan
mencari peluang-peluang baru bagi
mempelbagaikan portfolio bisnes kami
serta meneroka aliran keuntungan yang
42
wholesome environment for the entire
family. As such we need to consistently
make improvements, maintain our
creativity and be innovative as we work
to satisfy the needs and requirements of
these discerning customers.
We will continue to explore new project
opportunities and develop our existing
land banks in Tebrau, Ulu Tiram and
Pasir Gudang. We will continue to build
up the JLand brand, create interesting
development concepts and deliver quality
homes and distinctive neighbourhood to
our customers in our established
townships. We will also look at new
opportunities to diversify our business
portfolio and explore revenue streams
that will complement our core property
development operations. To maintain
sustainable long-term growth, JLand will
consider the acquisition of additional land
in prime areas within strategic locations
elsewhere in the country. We will
undertake the necessary due diligence
measures to ensure that any potential
venture will generate good revenue
streams and strong shareholder returns.
All in all, we believe that the sum of
these efforts will help the Group ride out
the economic downturn and provide us
with a strong base to launch out from
when market conditions return to normal.
APPRECIATION
JLand has much to be thankful for. Above
all, we have been blessed with a resilient
and dedicated network of supporters. On
behalf of the Board of Directors, allow us
to say how truly appreciative we are of
our shareholders, customers, financiers,
business associates, and consultants as
well as the many government departments
who have steadfastly supported over the
years. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the
multitude of home buyers who have
shown their confidence in our houses and
neighbourhoods. Our success is in no
small way owing to our committed and
hard working management and staff who
continue to display a spirit of excellence
in all that they undertake. Last but not
least, our sincere appreciation to all fellow
Directors for their wisdom and insights.
As we set our sights on becoming the
leading property company in this part of
the world, we invite all our stakeholders
to join us as we continue on our journey
to success. Rest assured that we at
JLand will work hard to tap every
opportunity and overcome all challenges
before us. We trust that you will continue
to lend us your unwavering support as
we press on to greater heights.

Directors’ Report
Directors’ benefits
Since the end of the previous financial year, no Director of the Company has received nor become entitled to receive any benefit (other
than a benefit included in the aggregate amount of emoluments received or due and receivable by Directors as shown in the financial
statements) by reason of a contract made by the Company or a related corporation with the Director or with a firm of which the Director
is a member, or with a company in which the Director has a substantial financial interest.
There were no arrangements during and at the end of the financial year which had the object of enabling Directors of the Company to
acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in, or debentures of, the Company or any other body corporate.
Issue of shares
There were no changes in the authorised, issued and paid-up capital of the Company during the financial year.
Options granted over unissued shares
No options were granted to any person to take up unissued shares of the Company during the financial year.
Other statutory information
Before the balance sheets and income statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable
steps to ascertain that:
i)
all known bad debts have been written off and adequate provision has been made for doubtful debts, and
ii) all current assets have been stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:
i) that would render the amount written off for bad debts, or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the Group and in the
Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or
ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading, or
iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the
Company misleading or inappropriate, or
iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements, that would render any amount stated in the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company misleading.
69
Other statutory information (CONtinued)
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year and which secures
the liabilities of any other person, or
ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year.
No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable within
the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may substantially affect the
ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.
In the opinion of the Directors, the results of the operations of the Group and of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2008
have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature nor has any such item,
transaction or event occurred in the interval between the end of that financial year and the date of this report.

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the financial statements of Johor Land Berhad, which comprise the balance sheets as at 31 December 2008 of the
Group and of the Company, and the income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements of the Group and
of the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on
pages 73 to 121.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and
maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates
that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the
Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as of
31 December 2008 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended.

application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those disclosed in the following notes:
Note 2(g) – valuation of investment properties
Note 2r(iii) – revenue recognition on property development
2.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements, and
have been applied consistently by Group entities, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities, including unincorporated entities, controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has
the ability to exercise its power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from
its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. Subsidiaries
are consolidated using the purchase method of accounting.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated
financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less any impairment losses.

Notes to the
2.
Significant accounting policies (continued)
(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(ii) Associates
Associates are entities, including unincorporated entities, in which the Group has significant influence, but not control,
over the financial and operating policies.
Associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. The consolidated financial
statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss of the equity accounted associates, after adjustments to align
the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that
significant influence ceases.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted associate, the carrying amount of that
interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued
except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
Investments in associates are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less any impairment losses.
(iii) Changes in Group composition
Where a subsidiary issues new equity shares to minority interest for cash consideration and the issue price has been
established at fair value, the reduction in the Group’s interests in the subsidiary is accounted for as a disposal of equity
interest with the corresponding gain or loss recognised in the income statements.
When the Group purchases a subsidiary’s equity shares from minority interest for cash consideration and the purchase
price has been established at fair value, the accretion of the Group’s interests in the subsidiary is accounted for as a
purchase of equity interest for which the acquisition method of accounting is applied.
The Group treats all other changes in group composition as equity transactions between the Group and its minority
shareholders. Any difference between the Group’s share of net assets before and after the change, and any consideration
received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserves.
(iv) Minority interest
Minority interest at the balance sheet date, being the portion of the net identifiable assets of subsidiaries attributable to
equity interests that are not owned by the Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, are presented
in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable
to the equity holders of the Company. Minority interest in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the
consolidated income statement as an allocation of the total profit or loss for the year between minority interest and the
equity holders of the Company.
Where losses applicable to the minority exceed the minority’s interest in the equity of a subsidiary, the excess, and any
further losses applicable to the minority, are charged against the Group’s interest except to the extent that the minority
has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently
reports profits, the Group’s interest is allocated with all such profits until the minority’s share of losses previously
absorbed by the Group has been recovered.
2.
83
(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(v) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions,
are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the
extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains,
but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
(b)Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet
date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions except for those that are
measured at fair value, which are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value
was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in the income statements.
(c) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other costs directly
attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing
the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of self-constructed assets also includes the cost of
materials and direct labour and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s
accounting policy. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part
of that equipment.
The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair value at
acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged between
a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each
acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based
on the quoted market prices for similar items.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for
as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds
from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within “other income”
or “other expenses” respectively in the income statements.
84
Notes to the
2.
(c) Property, plant and equipment (continued)
(ii) Reclassification to investment property
Property that is being constructed for future use as investment property is accounted for as property, plant and
equipment until construction or development is complete, at which time it is remeasured to fair value and reclassified
as investment property. Any gain or loss arising on re-measurement is recognised in the income statements.
(iii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item
if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be
measured reliably. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day
servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement as incurred.
(iv) Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part
of an item of property, plant and equipment. Freehold land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Buildings Plant and machinery Furniture, fittings and equipment Motor vehicles Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the balance sheet date.
10 – 50 years
5 – 8.3 years
4 – 5 years and replacement basis
5 years
(d) Leased assets
(i) Finance lease
Leases in terms of which the Group or the Company assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of
its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is
accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction
of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a
constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are accounted for
by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is
confirmed.
2.
85
(d) Leased assets (continued)
(ii) Operating lease
Leases, where the Group does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership are classifies as
operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased assets are not recognised on
the Group’s balance sheet. Property interest held under an operating lease, which is held to earn rental income or for
capital appreciation or both, is classified as investment property.
Leasehold land that normally has an indefinite economic life and title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end
of the lease term is treated as an operating lease. The payment made on entering into or acquiring a leasehold land
is accounted for as prepaid lease payments, except for leasehold land classified as investment property, land held for
future development and property development projects.
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the term
of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of
the lease.
(e) Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on business combinations and is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree.
Any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities
over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in income statement.
(f) Investments in debt and equity securities
Investments in debt and equity securities are recognised initially at fair value plus attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, all current investments are carried at the lower of cost and market value, determined on an
individual investment basis by category of investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in the
income statements.
86
Notes to the
2.
(g) Investment properties
(i) Investment property carried at fair value
Investment properties are properties which are owned or held under a leasehold interest to earn rental income or for
capital appreciation or for both. These include land held for a currently undetermined future use. Properties that are
occupied by the companies in the Group are accounted for as owner-occupied rather than as investment properties.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised
in the income statements.
When an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred to investment property following a change in its use, any
difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item immediately prior to transfer and its
fair value is recognised directly in equity as a revaluation of property, plant and equipment. However, if a fair value gain
reverses a previous impairment loss, the gain is recognised in the income statements. Upon disposal of an investment
property, any surplus previously recorded in equity is transferred to retained earnings; the transfer is not made through
the income statements.
(ii) Reclassification to/from investment property
When an item of inventory or property development is transferred to investment property following a change in its use,
any difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item immediately prior to the transfer
and its fair value is recognised in the income statements.
When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment/inventories/property
development, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.
(iii) Determination of fair value
An external, independent valuation firm, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience
in the location and category of property being valued, values the Group’s investment property portfolio annually.
The fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on
the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing
wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
In the absence of current prices in an active market, the valuations are prepared by considering the aggregate of the
estimated cash flows expected to be received from renting out the property. A yield that reflects the specific risks
inherent in the net cash flows then is applied to the net annual cash flows to arrive at the property valuation.
Valuations reflect, where appropriate: the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease
commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting vacant accommodation, and the market’s general perception of
their creditworthiness; the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between the Group and the lessee;
and the remaining economic life of the property. When rent reviews or lease renewals are pending with anticipated
reversionary increases, it is assumed that all notices and where appropriate counter-notices have been served validly
and within the appropriate time.
Significant assumptions in arriving at the fair value of investment properties are disclosed in Note 4.
2.
87
(h) Inventories
Inventories of completed houses are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is mainly determined on specific
identification basis and includes the cost of freehold/leasehold land and construction, and the appropriate development
overheads.
Inventories, other than completed houses, are stated at the lower of cost (determined on the ‘first-in, first-out’ basis and the
weighted-average method) and net realisable value. The cost of raw materials, consumables and other inventories comprise
the original cost of purchase plus the cost of bringing the inventories to their present location. Net realisable value represents
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less selling and distribution costs and all other estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(i) Property development projects
Property development projects consist of land held for future development and current development expenditure which
comprise construction and other related development costs including borrowings costs, is stated at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses.
The Group and the Company consider as current asset that proportion of property development projects on which sales have
been launched and/or the project is expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle of two to three years. Cost
of property development projects classified as current assets are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
When the outcome of a property development project cannot be estimated reliably, property development revenue is
recognised to the extent of property development costs incurred that is probable of recovery.
Any anticipated loss on a property development project (including costs to be incurred over the defects liability period), is
recognised as an expense immediately.
Accrued billings represent the excess of property development revenue recognised in the income statements over billings to
purchasers while progress billings represent the excess of billings to purchasers over property development revenue
recognised in the income statements.
(j) Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at their cost when the contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from
another entity is established.
Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are stated at cost less allowance for doubtful debts.
Receivables are not held for the purpose of trading.
88
Notes to the
2.
(k) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which
have an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents are
presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits, if any.
(l) Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of assets except for financial assets, inventories, deferred tax assets, and investment property that is
measured at fair value, non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale are reviewed at each reporting date
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount
is estimated. For goodwill the recoverable amount is estimated usually at each reporting date.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to
sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose
of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from
continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating
unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating
units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statements. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cashgenerating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce
the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (groups of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior
periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An
impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of
impairment losses are credited to the income statements in the year in which the reversals are recognised.
2.
89
(m) Equity instruments
All equity instruments are stated at cost on initial recognition and are not re-measured subsequently.
(i) Issue expenses
Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of equity instruments are recognised as a deduction from equity.
(ii) Repurchase of share capital
When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly
attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from equity and is not re-valued for subsequent changes in the fair value
or market price of shares. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from
total equity.
Where treasury shares are distributed as share dividends, the cost of the treasury shares is applied in the reduction of
the share premium account or distributable reserves, or both.
Where treasury shares are reissued by re-sale in the open market, the difference between the sales consideration net
of directly attributable costs and the carrying amount of the treasury shares is recognised in equity.
(n) Compound financial instruments
A compound financial instrument is a non-derivative financial instrument that contains both a liability and an equity
component.
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible notes that can be converted to share capital at
the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.
The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that
does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognised initially at the difference between the fair
value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable
transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instruments is measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instruments is not remeasured subsequent
to initial recognition.
(o) Loans and borrowings
Loans and borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised
in the income statements over the period of the loans and borrowings using the effective interest method.
90
Notes to the
2.
(p) Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and sick leave are
measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group
has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and
the obligation can be estimated reliably.
The Group’s contribution to statutory pension funds are charged to the income statements in the year to which they relate.
Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations.
(q) Payables
Payables are measured initially and subsequently at cost. Payables are recognised when there is a contractual obligation to
deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity.
(r) Revenue recognition
(i) Goods sold
Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns
and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and
possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the
goods.
(ii) Rental income
Rental income from investment property is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the
lease.
(iii) Revenue from property development
Revenue from property development activities is recognised based on the stage of completion measured by reference
to surveys of work performed.
Where the financial outcome of a property development activity cannot be reliably estimated, property development
revenue is recognised only to the extent of property development costs incurred that is probable will be recoverable,
and property development costs on the development units sold are recognised as an expense in the period in which
they are incurred.
Any expected loss on a development project, including costs to be incurred over the defects liability period, is recognised
immediately in the income statement.
(iv) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
2.
91
(s) Interest income and borrowing costs
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
All borrowing costs are recognised in the income statements using the effective interest method, in the period in which they
are incurred except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the property development projects
which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is
being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use
or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities
necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.
(t)Tax expense
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax expense is recognised in the income statements except to the extent
that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted
at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities for reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised
for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a
transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred tax
is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the
laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
(u) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by
dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary
shares, which comprise convertible notes.
(v) Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business
segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is
subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

23. Acquisition of property, plant and equipment
During the financial year, the Group and the Company acquired property, plant and equipment with an aggregate cost of
RM360,000 (2007: RM665,000) and RM359,000 (2007: RM638,000) respectively of which RM275,000 and RM275,000 was

24.Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives and policies
Exposure to credit, liquidity, cash flow and interest rate risks arise in the normal course of the Group’s and of the Company’s
business. The Group and the Company have formulated a financial risk management framework whose principal objective is to
minimise the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to risks and/or costs associated with the financing, investing and operating
activities of the Group and of the Company.
Credit risks
At balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented
by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.
Liquidity risk
The Group and the Company monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to
finance the operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuation in cash flow.
Cash flow risk
The Group and the Company review their cash flow position regularly to manage their exposure to fluctuations in future cash flows
associated with their monetary financial instruments.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s and the Company’s investment in fixed-rate debt securities and its fixed rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of
change in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s and Company’s investments in variable-rate borrowings
are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. Investments in equity securities and short term
receivables and payables are not exposed to interest rate risk.
There is no formal hedging policy with respect to interest rate exposure. Exposure to interest rate risk is monitored on an ongoing
basis and the Group and the Company endeavour to keep the exposure at an acceptable level.
Interest expense on the CULS is calculated on the effective yield basis by applying the effective interest rate 5.745% (2007:
5.745%) for an equivalent non-convertible loan stock to liability component of the CULS.

Notes to the
Fair values
Recognised financial instruments
The carrying amounts of current financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term nature
of these financial instruments.
The Company provides financial guarantees to bank for credit facility extended to a subsidiary. The fair value of such financial
guarantee is not expected to be material as the probability of the subsidiary defaulting on the credit line is remote.
The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the balance sheets, are as

Estimation of fair values
The following summarises the methods used in determining the fair values of financial instruments reflected in the table.
Fair value of quoted shares is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date without any deduction for transaction
costs.
The carrying amount of convertible unsecured loan stocks approximates its fair value as the instrument is calculated using a
prevailing market rate at the date of issuance for a similar convertible loan stocks.
The carrying amount of the term loan approximates its fair values as the effective interest rate is comparable to the movements
in the market interest rate.

Meeting, the Directors may consider it
appropriate to finance such potential
business opportunities by the issue of a

shares in the Company up to an amount
not exceeding in total 10% of the existing
issued capital of the Company for such
purpose during the period. This authority,
unless revoked or varied at a general
meeting, will take effect until the next AGM
of the Company pursuant to Section 132(D)
of the Companies Act, 1965.
Resolution 9
The proposed Resolution 9 if passed will
enable the Company to utilise any of its
surplus financial resources to purchase its
own shares from the market.
Resolution 10
The proposed Resolution 10 if passed is
primarily to authorise the Company and/or
its unlisted subsidiaries to enter into
arrangements or transactions with Related
Parties, particulars of which are set out in
Section 3.1(a) of the Circular to
Shareholders dated 24 April 2009 circulated
together with this Annual Report, which are
necessary for the day-to-day operations of
the Group and are based on normal
commercial terms that are not favourable
to the Related Parties than those generally
made to the public.

meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy and vote
