PETALING JAYA: Tengku Abdullah Sultan Abu Bakar has been appointed chairman and director of DutaLand Bhd effective Oct 3, the company told Bursa Malaysia.

EVEN with the economy showing signs of mending, property developers are continuing to woo buyers with special housing packages/promotions to boost sales. Some of these come in special loan packages, others through lucky draws and freebies like housing appliances such as air-conditioners and wardrobes. And evidently, they are working.

MALAYSIANS can count ourselves lucky as the country is sheltered from major natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes and we have relatively safe abodes and buildings that do not easily collapse when there are tremors.
