What we found
Sunway Property, the real estate arm of Sunway Group, achieved RM3.8 billion in sales in 2025 against a RM3.6 billion target, up from RM3.0 billion in 2024 and RM2.4 billion in 2023, and held RM9.5 billion in unbilled revenue as at 31 December 2025.
The evidence
7 claims across 3 areasRegulatory and legal
NegativeThe Federal Court on 20 January 2023 set aside the planning permission that Penang Island City Council had granted to Sunway City (Pg) Sdn Bhd for a 600-home hill-land scheme at Sungai Ara, holding that the council had acted beyond its powers and that its use of the pelan dasar lacked the public participation required by the Town and Country Planning Act 1976; the adverse findings were made against the council rather than against the developer's conduct, and the entity involved is a Penang project company, not the Kuala Lumpur residential entity.
One more finding
The Vibes records that the Sungai Ara dispute ran through an Appeals Board decision on 20 November 2015 that the council had wrongly granted approval, then a High Court decision in May 2017 and a Court of Appeal decision on 21 May 2021 that both sided with Sunway City and the council, before the residents' further appeal; the report discusses the council's regulatory decisions and makes no allegation about the developer's conduct.
