Championing ESG
This year’s Awards hold special significance as they introduce five new categories recognising achievements in ESG: Low Carbon Champion, Energy Efficient Champion, Sustainable Design Champion, Sustainable Construction Champion, and Social Impact Champion.
Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, said: “We are delighted to distinguish the finest real estate in Malaysia across a broad spectrum of categories this year. Supported by the leading property portals in Malaysia, PropertyGuru.com.my and iProperty.com.my, the Awards have expanded in 2024 to include new categories, honouring the property developers that are championing environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) throughout the country. These accolades acknowledge the sustainability endeavours and positive impact of premier developers, in line with Malaysia’s push towards attaining the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Our Awards not only set the Gold Standard of real estate but also elevate the industry’s commitment to environmental, social, and corporate responsibility, leading to a better future for stakeholders in the property sector.”
The inclusion of the new categories coincides with GreenRE and Malaysia Green Building Council’s (MGBC) appointment as the Official ESG Knowledge Partners of the 2024 Awards. As Malaysia’s leading green building certification bodies, GreenRE and MGBC are instrumental in the development of the judging framework and criteria for the Awards’ ESG categories.
A staunch advocate for a sustainable built environment, GreenRE’s Executive Director Ir. Ashwin Thurairajah joins the 18-member, professional judging panel of the Awards for the first time this year, along with returning judge, MGBC President Ar. Dr. Serina Hijjas.
Datuk Ar. Ezumi Harzani Ismail, chairperson of the independent panel of judges of the Awards and president of the Malaysian Institute of Architects: 2020-2022, said: “It is important for developers to set a high standard in real estate to push the boundaries of conventional design and introduce innovations that set them apart. Participating in the Awards motivates architects and developers to explore novel materials, cutting-edge technologies, and new construction methods that inspire new architecture with a fresh perspective on the possibilities of the built environment. A great development shapes and influences the world we live in, leaving a lasting legacy for years to come, and brings the developer ahead of others.”
HLB, the global network of independent professional accounting firms and business advisers, is entrusted with overseeing the entire judging process and ensuring that it is conducted with integrity and transparency.
Representation for Malaysia
Top winners of the Awards in Malaysia will qualify to compete for regional accolades at the 19th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand on 13 December. Malaysia’s best developers, developments, and designs will contend for the Best in Asia honours with their counterparts from Australia, Cambodia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Greater Niseko (Japan), India, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Malaysia was represented with four regional wins at the Grand Final in 2023, led by Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS), winner of the Best Affordable Homes Developer (Asia) award. Projects by Eastern & Oriental Berhad, Eupe Corporation Berhad, and Sime Darby Property also garnered Best in Asia titles.
As the property market gradually rebounds and environmental awareness spreads among prospective buyers and investors, developments that meet the standards of energy efficiency, functionality, and sustainability are set to spearhead the future Malaysian market.
Informed decisions, economic optimism
According to the PropertyGuru Malaysia Consumer Sentiment Study H1 2024, 77% of property seekers believe that climate change is influencing their purchase decisions while 30% are willing to pay more for a green home.
Despite uncertain expectations for the property market this year, service sectors are expected to continue spearheading economic expansion, according to PropertyGuru’s Malaysia Property Market Outlook 2024. Areas with a robust presence of service sectors are likely to remain appealing to home seekers while infrastructural developments, such as those in Johor and Penang, are expected to drive demand.

SINGAPORE, Jan 26, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – ACROMETA Group Limited (“ACROMETA”, or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), an established specialist engineering service provider in the field of controlled environments serving mainly the healthcare, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, research and academia sectors, today announced the Company had on 19 January 2024 received an indicative non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) from AESM Holding Pte. Ltd. (the “Purchaser”) in relation to the sale and purchase of 100% of the issued share capital of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Acromec Engineers Pte Ltd (the “Buy-Out”).
The Parties on a best-effort basis endeavour to enter into the definitive agreement necessary to give effect to the Buy-Out transaction by 28 February 2024; or such later date as mutually agreed between the Parties. Shareholders of the Purchaser includes several key management personnel of the Target Company. If the Buy-Out is successfully concluded, the Group’s remaining core business would be its fastgrowing co-working laboratory space business (“CLSB”) via its 70%-owned subsidiary Life Sciences Incubator Holdings Pte Ltd (“LSI”). In addition, the Buy-Out is set to include the novation of LSI’s net debt, further strengthening the Group’s financial position. The Purchaser is also set to indemnify the Group following the Creditor’s Voluntary Liquidation of Neo Tiew Power Pte. Ltd. (“NTP”), in which the Company has a 56% effective interest.
Besides the Group’s current CLSB at The German Center Singapore which occupies an area of 6,500 sqft, the Group continues to collaborate with strategic partners to accelerate the growth of its CLSB:
– 6 April 2023 – LSI entered into a non-binding MOU with a renowned German commercial property management company to work together on LSI’s proposed co-working laboratory space project in the flourishing life sciences hub of Brisbane, Australia.
– 6 October 2023 – LSI entered into a Management Agreement with HB Universal Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Mainboard-listed Ho Bee Land Limited. The MA engages LSI to operate and manage a co-working laboratory centre at Elementum, One-North, a building in the heart of Singapore’s biomedical industry district.
– 12 December 2023 – LSI entered into a strategic cooperation framework agreement with its partner Fenglin Healthcare Industry Development (Group) Co. Ltd., a company registered in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), to deepen their collaboration for the CLSB in the PRC.
Mr Levin Lee, ACROMETA’s Executive Chairman, said, “While the controlled environments engineering EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) business still has growth potential, there will be ongoing margin pressures and challenging operating conditions, primarily due to increased costs in energy, manpower and construction materials. In particular, the availability of skilled manpower poses a challenge together with higher wages and higher dormitory space rental costs. Thus, we want to focus on the less capital-intensive and higher value-add co-working laboratory business to strengthen the Group’s performance.”
In another potential business opportunity, the Company incorporated AcroMeta Minerals Pte. Ltd. (“AcroMeta Minerals”) on 15 November 2023 as a follow-up to the 6 November signing of a non-binding non-exclusive MOU between AcroMeta and PT Swadaya Buana Makmur (“PTSBM”) for the supply of high purity (>99.5%) low iron silica sand from West Kalimantan, Indonesia.
The Company is confident in the long-term prospects of AcroMeta Minerals given the high demand for high purity silica sand which is used in the manufacture of solar panels, precision glass and ceramic instruments, ophthalmic lenses and LCD screens required by many industries such as the biotechnology, electronics, and pharmaceutical industries. The Group is currently negotiating with potential international buyers before entering into formal offtake agreements with PTSBM.

Pakistani Ambassador to China Khalil Hashimi presented awards for these projects. He called the KKH Phase-II (Havelian-Thakot) Project a lifeline of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, saying it reflects the wisdom of the Chinese side in multiple aspects.
The project marked in-depth cooperation between Pakistan and the CCCC, and also between Pakistan and China, Hashimi noted, adding that he looks forward to more outcomes of cooperation between the two countries.
The event also unveiled CCCC’s top 10 outstanding Chinese and international employees, who have been deeply involved in the infrastructure development of relevant countries and made important contributions to local socioeconomic development and people’s livelihood.
South Sudanese Ambassador to China, Monday Semaya Kenneth Kumba noted that as an internationally leading infrastructure construction company, CCCC boasts the most outstanding construction teams in the world.
The ambassador extended his gratitude to CCCC for its dedication and efforts in South Sudan, saying he looks forward to closer cooperation between more excellent teams from CCCC and his country, and more practical results in transportation infrastructure and developing local talents in South Sudan.
Over the past decade, CCCC has actively responded to the BRI, leveraged its full-industry-chain advantages, and upheld the ESG philosophy. It has launched the “Build Your Future Dream” social responsibility brand worldwide to fulfill its economic, environmental, and social responsibilities.
During the event, CCCC released its ESG Report for the BRI and its top 10 cases of CSR and brand building for the BRI.
The BRI has brought positive impacts to Sri Lanka in terms of foreign trade, tourism, and ecological conservation, said K. K. Yoganaadan, the Chargé d’Affaires of the Sri Lankan Embassy in China.

HONG KONG, Nov 29, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. (“Tat Hong” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) (Stock Code: 2153), the first foreign-owned tower crane service provider established in the PRC, has announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2023 (the “Period”).
During the Period, the Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB 358.6 million, down by RMB 28.8 million, or 7.4%, against the six months ended 30 September 2022. Loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the Period amounted to RMB 20.4 million, narrowing by approximately 51.2% when compared with that for the period ended 30 September 2022 (2022: loss of RMB41.9 million). The improvement was primarily due to (i) decrease in exchange loss arising from foreign currency loan, resulting in a decrease in finance costs, and (ii) decrease in cost of sales due to a decrease in material and repair costs and labor subcontracting cost. The average monthly service price of tower cranes per tonne metre (TM) in use decreased from RMB 257 to RMB 225. Overall gross profit and gross profit margin decreased to RMB 63.8 million and 17.8%, respectively.
The Group’s TM in use increased to 1,594,911 for the Period from 1,577,983 for the pervious same period. As at 30 September 2023, the Group had 268 projects in progress and will generate revenue (excluding value added tax) of approximately RMB 460.7 million, and 73 projects on hand will generate revenue (excluding value added tax) of approximately RMB 224.7 million. Of those projects, the Group expects to complete approximately RMB 380.4 million worth of revenue work by the end of 30 September 2024, boasting solid earnings prospect and high earnings visibility.
During the Period, China’s construction industry was still dragged by the slow post pandemic economic recovery. Supply of new domestic construction projects decreased substantially compared with last year. That resulted in a decline in average monthly service price of tower cranes per TM. To minimize the impact of slack domestic business on its performance, the Group accelerated deployment in overseas markets during the Period. Efforts have been made to build inroads into other foreign geographical territories to increase future revenue. While maintaining its position in the domestic market, the Group expanded its geographical footprint to the Greater Bay Area including Hong Kong and Macau. By June 2023, the first unit of tower crane was deployed in Hong Kong, and more than 20 units in Macau.
At the same time, the Group had invested notably in its self-developed digital management tools “TOP” and “iSmartCon” to improve management and operational efficiency. As at 30 September 2023, the Group held 146 registered patents for utility models and inventions related to tower cranes. It believes the robust technical capabilities of its tower cranes services will continue to position it favourably in securing projects. Furthermore, the Group’s persistent focus on research and development of tower crane technical solutions will further strengthen its ability to deliver exceptional services.
Mr. Sean Yau, CEO of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. said, “With the central government providing at least RMB 1 trillion of low-cost financing to three major types of infrastructure projects, namely Urban village redevelopment, Affordable housing projects and ‘Dual-use for normal and emergency purposes’ projects, domestic housing demand is expected to increase, which will in turn boost the real estate and construction market. At the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative, overall demand by participating countries for infrastructure projects, including traditional infrastructure, new infrastructure and energy projects, has greatly increased. We will make timely adjustment to our operational and geographical strategies to respond to the evolving global market environment.”
Mr. Roland Ng, Chairman of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. said, “Although the market is gradually recovering, the market trend overall is still full of uncertainties. Nonetheless, the Group has been able to cope with the complex and volatile environment by adjusting its operational strategies at the right time. A leading tower crane service provider in the industry, Tat Hong is currently one of the few enterprises in China that has ‘gone out’, testifying to its capabilities and leadership in China’s construction industry. We boast a stable, reputable and loyal customer base and expect to continue to expand into more Asian markets and enlarge market share in the future. Guided by our core values of ‘Virtue, Safety and Excellence”, we will strive to keep elevating our strategic sustainable development goals. By enhancing digital management, we can better share resources, reduce cost and heighten efficiency, plus aggressively pursue international businesses at the same time. This series of measures can help the Group improve operational efficiency and fulfil its goal of becoming ‘the best construction equipment service provider’ in the industry.”
