The agreed sum was higher after taking into account the interest element in the defer payment scheme proposed by SH. The Group also recognised that this JVA is supported by SH’s director’s personal guarantee.

 

The Group opined that the said disposal/ joint venture will eliminate further cash outflow to this project, and to allow the Group to focus more on existing or new development projects.

The proceeds of RM8,000,000 is expected to be utilised as follows:
