It is in the news that the prequalification process for bids of Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia (RRIM) land in Sungai Buloh, Selangor will start by end of this year. EPF will call for the prequalification bids as soon as it gets the government’s nod for the proposed development of the land. Developers who meet the requirements of financing, expertise, reputation and innovation will be considered.

EPF (Kwasa Land Sdn. Bhd., EPF’s wholly owned unit) is the landowner and master developer of the project. EPF bought 890 hectares of the total 1,215 hectares supply from Federal Government for over RM2bil. EPF will then carve the land out into 20 hectares to 200 hectares each parcel. The balance of Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia (RRIM) land is for :

• Malaysian Rubber Board hub (217 hectares)
• My Rapid Transit (MRT) Sungai Buloh depot (72 hectares)

The latest news as published in Star last week, Dijaya Corp Bhd is talking with EPF on jointly developed certain parcels of Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia (RRIM) land in Sungai Buloh. Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia (RRIM) land begins from My Rapid Transit (MRT) Sungai Buloh depot in the Northern portion and end with the Southern portion bordering the Tropicana Gold & Country Resort, a development by Dijaya. In order to have an access directly to Petaling Jaya, an access road through Tropicana Golf Resort is required. As such, Dijaya is currently in the midst of preparing an amalgamation deal. Dijaya in April already entered into agreements with several vendors for a proposed acquisition of 73 properties, comprising 49 parcels of land and 16 buildings for RM949.9mil.
