What we found

BRDB, formerly known as Bandar Raya Developments Bhd, made its Main Market debut on Bursa Malaysia in 1968 and was taken private 44 years later in October 2012. It is now fully owned by A Khan Sdn Bhd.

The evidence

3 claims across 2 areas

Delivery

  • Construction of a second office block (OT2) at Capital Square stalled and remained abandoned for about 10 years following the 1997 Asian financial crisis, with development put on hold since 1997.

Corporate continuity

Negative

  • An unsolicited September 2011 offer by major shareholder Ambang Sehati Sdn Bhd to buy four BRDB assets, Permas Jusco Mall, CapSquare Retail Centre, Bangsar Shopping Centre and the Menara BRDB office block, for RM914 million drew minority-shareholder criticism of the offer price and of transparency, prompting the board to put the assets to open tender instead, a process that was still unresolved with minimal disclosure roughly eight months later.

One more finding

  • Bandar Raya Developments Bhd was delisted from Bursa Malaysia on 29 October 2012 following completion of a general offer by Ambang Sehati Sdn Bhd, controlled by BRDB chairman Datuk Mohamed Moiz Jabir Mohamed Ali Moiz, which had secured more than 97 percent of the company's shares when the offer closed on 4 October 2012.
