felix,

If u know your GST...

Who are renting those offices? Must be businesses...cannot be Ah Meng Ahmad Ah Singh renting for own stay.

When u are doing business AND registered with Customs for GST, u can CLAIM BACK your GST paid (except for property developers and medical companies/hospitals).

E.g.
felix do business sell Felix The Cat merchandises in Malaysia, rents office at UOA Jalan Pinang. Rental paid per month RM50,000. GST on rental is RM3,000. U pay RM53,000 to UOA.

Then u sell goods to customers, total sales RM200,000. GST collected from customers RM12,000.

U pay RM12,000 less RM3,000 = RM9,000 to Customs

The GST is not your cost of doing business. Businesses are merely TAX AGENTS for Jabatan Kastam.

End user i.e. consumers are the ones who bear the GST, cannot claim back. Businesses can claim back.

Keeping REITs, except for CMMT which I'm bearish about future of its properties

wait, YOU call me Pinky??? u not new to LYN...or stalkin' me

Arreit no dividend for next 2 quarters?

revenue growth and STABILITY is important too

u don't wanna get dividend but see the share price plunging 10-20% and never recovering
imagine u bought ARREIT or AMFIRST at their peak...see how much it has dropped since then? DY also cannot help u

if u solely hunt for DY, u should show hand YTLREIT

Mreit outlook from RHB - REITS - Cautiously Optimistic
