SubjectThe Star Article dated 26 February 2001

Contents :

    We refer to the above and our comments on your queries are as follows :
1. We have all this while been trying to dispose some of our properties to reduce our borrowings. This is not something new and had been mentioned in our past AGMs and annual reports.
      Our 3 major buildings are the Holiday Plaza, Lien Hoe Complex and Hotel Armada. Since we are keeping the hotel, it is our intention to dispose of one of the two major complexes. We have however not entered into any agreement with any party at this stage.

2. We have also been on the lookout for medium sized hotels – in the region of RM60 m to RM100 m in the country to complement our Armada Hotel. Ideal locations would be Penang and Johor. However, nothing has materialised as yet.

3. The Puchong land refers to the Billiontex Industries Sdn Bhd and Rusella Teguh Sdn Bhd acquisition which were recently approved by our shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 23 November 2000.
