He added, “The Group’s Healthcare segment continues to be the Group’s key growth driver, underpinned by robust growth at its 3 existing hospitals and new hospitals in the pipeline. In particular, Sunway Medical Centre Damansara and Sunway Medical Centre Ipoh, which will be launched in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025, respectively, will provide future earnings growth. In addition, the leisure, hospitality and healthcare segments will benefit from several key initiatives announced at the Budget 2024.”

He further commented, “For the longer term, the establishment of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (“JS-SEZ”) will augur well for the Group’s flagship township development, Sunway City Iskandar Puteri, which is strategically located between Puteri Harbour and the Second Link to Singapore. This special economic zone leverages the complementary strengths of both countries in fostering synergies of cross-border flows of goods, investments and people.”
