i heard some rumours la, but like any rumour well its best kept for mamaks

to be fair, i think its less hostile than what the papers made it up to be. Liew had ample time to plan, PNB even gave him an opportunity to build up another competitor and leave.

i mean media aside, it doesnt seem like a hostile takeover where things are really bad and ugly.

Yes part of your point is true hence I didn't really refute it. But land bank its not be all end all..look at Talam. They used to have the most land bank in KL..yet they ......?

I am not trying to glorify SP or Liew..heck their workmanship is not really top class. But take nothing from how Liew manage to market and package SP products...

Smart bugger isn't he? The closest rival I can think off Alan Thong for Mont Kiara..even after Micheal Yam took over Sunrise as CEO is no match to how Liew position SP.

Like I said, it may slow down the com for awhile, and it could never kill off the com.
Like the example that I posted earlier, my ex-com hired 2 new employees to take over my tasks.
Hired 1 cannot kaw tim, hired another. There is always more than 1 way of running business

PNB ppl believed in Porter's theory that with Land being a Finite Asset, Liew can never be a threat to them.

Plus PNB also thinks that since the days of Sime Darby, etc, they have ample Property Guys to takeover.

Lets see how things play out over the next few years.

Then it depends on how smart the Owner / boss to move his next business strategy.

I agree to this. I think when PNB approached him the writing was on the wall. Liew knew that there was no point to resist, just lke how UEM bought Sunrise. And using Sunrise as a benchmark..an exit strategy was required.

I don't think it was hostile. Heck, there were PR shots for Battersea project tim..in London with all the VVVIP

I think that people or visionaries are the key,

but yea its up to anyones guess if Liew can replicate his success

then again it always makes me wonder these guys, i mean if i was that rich, hell id buy an island off the bahamas ship models over and have wild orgies over the week

they still go work

i guess i will never be as rich

WHat do you guys think this will impact on:

1) Subsale SP Setia properties especially in growing-to-mature Setia Alam
2) New launches by SP Setia
3) General market value of SP Setia properties

Chinese call this "earthquake"

boycott !

does proton sounds familiar to u?

Pity 200+ brains got trolled

I think part of the Hu-ha about Liew resignation was to generate interest to his son new company, Eco world.

By exiting big, he create some story for the press to write, ultimately promoting his new company as brand as good as sp setia

SP Setia will be another Proton???

foreign project. blow ar?

if ur good, 60/70 yo still can work.

if ur koyak, how young oso jobless. like uitm gradz

got played out by government of the superior race. u don wanna leave? stay their to suck kok meh

sucking not a new thing to them. if dont know how to suck i dont think he can even start sp setia

heard from my sis in law her colleagues some got good offer to go sime and uemland.. end of the day the company tinggal non-human asset saja

To think of it

Eco world share price have risen 2-3 times since they bought over FOCAL

If Tan sri get 500 mil from PNB, He would have double or triple his money by just resigning
