  2. Hi Jim

    It's a tough one. I would go for Trop because its landbank is not too concentrated like UEMS. In addition, Trop's landbank is ripe for development and located in high demand region. UEMS's land is predominantly located in Iskandar and that's saturated with new launches.

    What UEMS need is more entrepreneur spirit! MRCB has acquired this management talent & enterprising spirit in the person of Fateh (a substantial shareholder) and hopefully UEMS will have its. I thought its merger with Sunrise was for that purpose; to get Tong on board. It didn't work out. Until then, UEMS will languish as an also-ran.
