unlock sustainable potential from its innovative mixed developments and further add
value for its shareholders.

Yayasan TSLSC Brings Children
on a Fun Day Out
IOIPG builds shopping malls, retail complexes and purpose-built office buildings
to complement its township developments which further bring value-add to its
customers. The newly opened IOI City Mall at IOI Resort City, Puchong Financial
Commercial Centre (PFCC) and IOI Boulevard at its two Puchong townships are
among the prime assets that IOIPG built to enhance its property investment portfolio.
In this Cover Feature, we would like to give our readers an insight into property
investment, one of the three core business segments of IOIPG.
Recently, IOIPG clinched one of the most coveted awards in the Asian building and
design industry, the BCI Asia Top 10 Developers Award 2015 while one of its
residential developments, the Skyz Residence condominium project, won the Highly
Commended: Residential Landscape Architecture Malaysia award at the Asia
Pacific Property Awards 2015-2016.
On the corporate front, IOI Corporation Berhad (IOIC) emerged as one of Asia’s best
managed companies in the Finance Asia’s Best Managed Companies poll this
year. IOIC also topped the Best Managed Public Companies category and the Best
Corporate Governance category. These awards carry the affirmative endorsement of
key market analysts and fund managers at leading banks and research houses in Asia.
The success of IOI lies in the fundamentals of our Vision IOI and the basis of our
IOI Core Values, which were first introduced 20 years ago. In June this year, IOI
launched a video to reinforce our seven IOI Core Values: Integrity, Commitment,
Loyalty, Excellence in Execution, Speed, Innovativeness and Cost Efficiency.We believe
that the continuous embrace and practice of the IOI Core Values is crucial to the
progressive success of IOI amidst the ever-changing market conditions. These IOI
Core Values are pillars that support our Vision IOI, and they will also hold IOI together
while increasing employee engagement.
As acknowledged by Dato’ Lee in the video, there are many processes that we have
gone through while striving to achieve our company’s success. At the end of the day,
the single most important ingredient is the People and the IOI team.
Take care of our people, who will then provide the impeccable service demanded by
our customers.
Last but not the least, I would like to wish our Muslim colleagues and associates
Selamat Hari Raya Aidifitri!

IOIPG ROOTED ON STRONG
FOOTING
Since forging its own path as a separate listed entity early 2014, IOI Properties Group Bhd (IOIPG) has chalked
up numerous accolades and milestones in its journey towards achieving its vision. Its visionary track record has
further spurred the Group to launch successive townships and innovative developments.
I
n addition to being consistently ranked highly among the
largest property players in Malaysia, IOIPG is also one of the
few integrated property companies that builds as well as manages
investment properties such as shopping malls, hotels and office
buildings. It is renowned for its prowess in property development
and success in building thriving self-contained townships, notably
turning once-backwater Puchong into the commercial success it
is today. However, unbeknownst to many, IOIPG’s success today is
leveraged on a solid footing encompassing several core business
components – property development, property investment, and
leisure and hospitality.
IOIPG Chief Operating Officer (Property Investment) Mr Cheah
Wing Choong took time off his busy schedule to give an insight into
the world of property investment and how this integral component
elevates the profile of the company.
A VIEW ON PROPERTY INVESTMENT:
STRATEGIC APPROACH
Mr Cheah began the interview by describing the meaning of
property investment, “We build, keep and manage the buildings,
otherwise known as investment assets, for capital appreciation and
sustainable yields”. To date, IOIPG’s property investment portfolio
comprises retail, hotel and office space totalling approximately
4.5 million square feet of net lettable space (NLA). Among its
principal investment properties are IOI City Mall (in IOI Resort City,
Putrajaya), IOI Malls (in Puchong, Selangor and Kulai, Johor Bahru),
One and Two IOI Square (in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya), Puchong
Financial Corporate Centre (PFCC) and IOI Boulevard in Puchong,
Selangor.
These towering blocks at IOI Resort City inter-connect One IOI Square, Two IOI
Square where IOI Group is headquartered, and the five-star Putrajaya Marriott
Hotel.
To complement its township developments, IOIPG builds shopping
malls, retail complexes and purpose-built office buildings which
bring value-add to its customers. IOIPG has a superior track record
in managing these prime assets which it develops and owns, a
fact which perfectly complements its philosophy in offering selfcontained townships that aptly meets the community’s lifestyle and
business needs. This differentiating factor sets IOIPG apart from
its industry peers. Its strategic approach to develop an investment
portfolio to retain ownership and control of the buildings
transformed IOIPG into an integrated property player as opposed
to being a pure property developer.
COVER FEATURE
BERITAIOI
“Property investment plays a strategic role to the property
development division,” said Mr Cheah as the former’s interests are
focused primarily in IOIPG’s townships to bring greater value for
its customers. Its ownership control over the investment assets
allows IOIPG to have control over the tenant mix. However, with
this build-and-keep concept, the onus is on IOIPG to ensure assets
are properly managed so they remain good yielding properties with
high capital appreciation.
05
The interconnected 1.5 million square feet IOI City Mall and the
soon-to-be-completed IOI City Towers will welcome five-star hotel,
Le Meridien Putrajaya, which is due to open by end of 2015. All
these components are integrated, making IOI Resort City an ideal
hub for work and leisure under one roof.
Synergies between these existing components are apparent as IOIPG
master-planned shopping malls, retail complexes and purpose-built
office buildings alongside its township developments. As these
townships continue to mature and thrive, IOIPG’s investment
portfolio will see a marked enhancement from the development of
more upmarket properties and higher rental yields.
Hallmark buildings such as Puchong Financial Corporate Centre (PFCC), along
with IOI Mall Puchong, IOI Business Park and IOI Boulevard form the commercial
heartbeat of Puchong.
The complementary partnership makes financial sense as well.
Property development is susceptible to economic fundamentals
due to its cyclical nature which may potentially impact the
company’s bottom line, while stable recurring income derived
from its property investment assets helps to strengthen the balance
sheet. In short, rental yield generates cash flow needed to cushion
the challenging effect resulting from a slow property sales market.
INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENTS
A key advantage of IOIPG’s investment assets is that they are
located within integrated developments. “Tenants today prefer to
be in integrated developments versus standalone buildings where
other amenities are within reach," said Mr Cheah.
A prime example is the master planned IOI Resort City with a worldclass shopping mall, residences, office buildings, award winning
Palm Garden Golf Club, two hotels – Putrajaya Marriott Hotel and
Palm Garden Hotel – and other upcoming developments across 320
acres of picturesque landscape in Putrajaya.
The Green Building Index-certified IOI City Towers comprises two 31-storeys
Grade A offices with one million square feet of total net lettable area (NLA).
OFFICE
Currently facing a tough office market with an office supply glut in
Klang Valley, Mr Cheah said, “We need to tap into the right market
and be competitive to attract tenants. We are pleased to note that
multinational companies (MNCs) have rented office space in PFCC
which comprises four office towers and a premier business hotel,
Four Points by Sheraton Puchong.”
The excellent information technology (IT) infrastructure, Grade A
office building features and Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) status
have made it to be an attractive business centre for these MNCs
looking to set up their base in Malaysia. The upcoming LRT station
opposite PFCC with a linked covered bridge has further enhanced
its appeal. Mr Cheah is optimistic that more MNCs will rent PFCC
as they appreciate its commercial value as an international grade
office.

The South Beach, IOIPG’s flagship project in Singapore, is set to
inject vibrancy in the domestic property sector with two blocks of
office towers, a 654-room hotel, premium retail space and luxury
residential units. Upon completion, South Beach will be one of the
preferred regional hubs for businesses. The office tower currently
enjoys more than 90% occupancy.
Four Points by Sheraton Puchong is the latest addition to IOIPG’s leisure and
hospitality portfolio.
IOIPG’s office towers and commercial areas are strategically-located
with the myriad of highways connecting them to the city centre.
“It is encouraging to see the suburban areas are drawing interest
from the increasingly congested Kuala Lumpur (KL) city centre.
Businesses are starting to consider alternative commercial address,
moving away from downtown KL to good suburban offices as they
offer more competitive rates and less traffic congestion,” Mr Cheah
opines.
HOTEL
IOIPG’s hotel sector is boosted by the recently opened 250-room
Four Points by Sheraton Puchong which Mr Cheah notes, has been
very well received with good occupancy. The hotel’s location within
a matured township, plus its close proximity to the industrial and
commercial entities, has made it a business hotel of choice within
Puchong.
The iconic South Beach project, jointly developed with City
Development Limited, will open its doors by end of this year
Over in Xiamen, PRC, IOIPG’s mega mixed development called IOI
Palm City is gathering strong interest from the Chinese property
investors. The 44-acre project encompasses a grand shopping mall,
boutique offices, a luxury hotel and high-rise residences.
These two notable developments will be proud additions into
IOIPG’s investment portfolio, generating healthy income revenue
for the Group in coming years.
On a similar note, IOIPG’s five-star Putrajaya Marriott Hotel and Palm
Garden Hotel are very well-occupied by both the institutions as
well as corporations hosting numerous MICE (meetings, incentives,
conferences, and exhibitions) functions.
RETAIL
The recently completed IOI City Mall is currently IOIPG’s flagship
retail mall. Since its opening in November 2014, it has seen a high
traffic flow of shoppers within the radius of Klang Valley, Selangor
and right up to Seremban thus positioning it as a popular regional
mall. Mr Cheah added, “With IOI City Mall enjoying occupancy of
more than 90% and IOI Mall Puchong’s occupancy of up to 98%,
these malls are providing IOIPG with a steady yield.”
REGIONAL INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
IOIPG’s collection of retail and office spaces has been commended
repeatedly for their superior value and quality, thus spurring the
Group to expand its investment portfolio to also include the
regional market in Singapore and Xiamen, the People’s Republic of
China (PRC).
IOI Palm City in Jimei District, Xiamen
BRIGHT FUTURE
With these established assets, IOIPG will be able to enjoy a steady
stream of rental income and yield in the coming years. Coupled
with the upcoming completion of IOI City Towers, South Beach and
IOI Palm City, exciting times are ahead for IOIPG and its Property
Investment division.
Undoubtedly, IOIPG’s property investment portfolio is extensive
and will continue to grow in size and value as it expands its
horizons to build more of such properties. The future is looking
bright indeed.

Q3 Earnings for
IOIC and IOIPG
IOI
Corporation Berhad (IOIC) posted a profit before
interest and taxation (PBIT) of RM298.9 million
for the third quarter (Q3) ended 31 March 2015 as compared to
RM480.9 million a year ago.The 38% decrease in PBIT is due mainly
to lower contribution from both plantation and resource-based
manufacturing divisions.
The plantation division’s Q3 FY2015 profit decreased by 37% to
RM191.8 million from RM306.8 million due mainly to lower fresh
fruit bunches (FFB) production during the seasonal low crop
period as well as lower crude palm oil (CPO) price realised. Average
CPO price realised was RM2,247/MT against RM2,602/MT in Q3
FY2014. As for the resource-based manufacturing division, its profit
of RM102.9 million for Q3 FY2015 is 50% lower than RM205.2
million reported for Q3 FY2014. The lower manufacturing profit
is mainly due to lower margin from the specialty oils and fats and
the refinery sub-segments as well as lower sales volume from the
refinery sub-segment.
Property development recorded higher sales of properties in
Klang Valley especially in the commercial properties sub-segment,
while property investment saw higher contribution from the retail
segment. Leisure and hospitality benefited from new business
operations such as Four Points by Sheraton Puchong, District21 and
Icescape Ice Rink at IOI City Mall that have commenced business
towards end of Q2 FY2015. In addition, its existing hotel business in
IOI Resort City has also picked up in the current quarter.
Meanwhile, IOI Properties Group Berhad (IOIPG) recorded an
operating profit of RM146.9 million in its Q3 ended 31 March
2015 which is 40% higher than Q3 FY2014. Its revenue also went

n 2 March 2015, a group of eight officers and researchers
from WWF (World Wildlife Fund) Germany and Eberswalde
University for Sustainable Development visited IOI’s Pamol Group
of Estates – Meliau, Nangoh and Bayok. Several WWF Malaysia
officers accompanied the German visitors on the trip to Sabah.
The visitor were much impressed by the natural beauty of these
conservation areas, which are home to exotic animals such as the
proboscis monkeys and sambar deer.
The purpose of this visit was to undertake an exploratory field
visit to the oil palm plantations and adjacent forest reserves. Both
WWF and the university are collaborating on a joint project which
aims to assess the actual ecological impacts on-site in relation to
the effectiveness of Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO)
and International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC)
sustainability standards for biofuels.
Apart from the rich fauna, the areas also showcased the natural
state of the riparian vegetation comprising many species of
indigenous trees and shrubs. These are vital to maintain a healthy
ecosystem.
The visit proved to be fruitful for their joint project as they gained
valuable experience and knowledge of IOI Group’s conservation
effort as part of its sustainability initiative.
The team visited the buffer zones at Meliau Estate which is adjacent
to Ulu Tungud forest reserve and went to the Sungai Paliau riparian
reserve at Nangoh Estate as well as Bayok Estate’s Ox Bow Lake.

MAKING CHANGE HAPPEN
C
hange can be painful, disruptive and costly. If given a choice, most
people would resist any change to their status quo and this is a
challenge faced by many organisations in getting people to embrace
change.The fear surfaces when there is lack of understanding on the
need for change and no prior experience in handling the transition
to change.
A two-pronged approach involving the individual and the organisation
is needed for change to happen. As the individual understands the
need for change and be motivated to change, the organisation must
provide the external push factor to make the change conducive.
Each individual has an emotional need, and these emotional
drivers vary in importance from one individual to another. The
ranking of these drivers can change with time, and influenced by
the environment, personal experiences and especially traumas.
As these emotional drivers are cultivated through environment,
some drivers are stronger than others, and could motivate or demotivate us.
The eight fundamental human emotional drivers are:

origin of the oil, prioritising mills, and executing on-site verification
programme.
The highlights of this report are:
• 96% of its palm oil is traceable to mill level.
• 35% of its palm oil sourced is certified by the Roundtable
on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and traceable to mill and
plantation level.
• The remote sensing analysis is completed on 80 out of 143
mills (from which IOILC directly sources palm oil).
The full report can be viewed on:

Vision 2025 reflects the intended results for IOILC – to be the best
producer of oils and fats ingredients and double its business size in
10 years (i.e. by 2025), to achieve top financial performance and be
a great workplace for its current and future employees.

“OPPOSITES ATTRACT”
IN CREATIVE STUDIO
T
his spring, the Creative Studio in IOILC Europe introduced a
new workshop named “Opposites Attract” and within the
first week, it had successfully attracted three groups of customers
from all over Europe who are keen to attend the workshop.
The focus for this workshop is the creation of emulsions – a
marriage between fat and water in chocolate confectionery and
fine bakery fillings. Consumers want to indulge in chocolates and
desserts but at the same time, they are concerned of the calorie
intake. By adding water to the recipe, it lowers the energy value
and gives the opportunity to create different eating sensations in
new products.
The “marriage” between fat and water needs expert guidance.
During the workshop, the Creative Studio technical experts
explained the process of successfully joining these “opposites” in a
recipe to create stable and long lasting bakery treats.
Several upcoming “Opposites Attract” workshops that are almost
fully booked will be held after the summer – indicating that this
subject is highly relevant for the European food manufacturers.

“Maulud”, a baby tapir
adopted by the hotels
in a collaborative animal
conservation effort with
the national zoo. Tapir
faces extinction due to
constant habitat loss.
The team also took the opportunity to observe “Maulud” in his
comfortable surroundings at the “Tapir Sanctuary”. Both hotels
will continue to support the adopted tapir and do their part in
spreading awareness on the importance of animal conservation,
specially “Maulud” and his species.

traditional dish that is much sought-after for breaking fast during
the fasting month, were prepared by the two hotels and golf club’s
respective Executive Chefs using their own special recipes. Associates
from the hotels and PGGC were divided into groups and headed to
Hotel associates packing some of the 5,000 bubur lambuk

practises safety first by equipping a child with helmet.
While watching the guests having the time of their lives swinging,
jumping, climbing and running from one end to the other, Datin
Joanne said, “We hope today’s fun-filled outing will bring smiles to
the children and give them memorable experiences. It is exciting
for us to spend time with the children and to see them enjoying
themselves as much as we are of having them with us here today!”
Later, the residents were served lunch packs from The Chicken Rice
Shop and received goodie bags. The fun outing was capped off with
the much-anticipated movie screening of “Jurassic World” at Golden
Screen Cinemas. The movie experience was a first for some of the
children, and it was a real treat to be able to watch dinosaurs being
brought to life on the big screen!
Climbing through The Maze’s obstacles.
The children, ranging from three to 22 years old, arrived with their
caregivers at 9:00 am in two chartered buses and were ushered to
the mall’s indoor action-themed adventure park, District21.Yayasan
TSLSC Executive Director Datin Joanne Wong and the team of
volunteers warmly welcomed the special guests.
After a safety briefing session by District21’s personnel, the younger
children were escorted to enjoy attractions such as the Train Ride,
Mini Cars and Carousel while the older ones took on challenging
games such as The Maze, GoPedal, Launch Pad,Tubby Ride and Low
Ropes.
Dinosaurs await this happy group of residents and Yayasan TSLSC volunteers!
Low Ropes trail requires effort and concentration from
the little ones as they make their way across the seven
obstacles.
The beneficiaries, RALK and Rumah Juara, are a safe haven for
orphans and the underprivileged as they grow in an environment
that enables them to be secure in their identity, strong in character,
and equipped with moral values and good social skills.
