The development of the combined-cycle power plant was financed through the ringgit denominated currency (the first 15-year long term bond) issued by the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) in which the use of such financing was able to successfully mitigate the influence of the Asian Financial Crisis at the time. In September 2017, the Paka power plant was awarded a supplementary PPA for a further period of 3 years and 10 months.

YTL Power has been listed on Bursa Malaysia (the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange) since 23 May 1997 on the Main Market of the exchange under the Gas, Water & Multi-Utilities sub-sector of the Utilities sector.

YTL Construction Sdn Bhd

YTL Construction Sdn Bhd (YTL Construction), previously known as Syarikat Pembenaan Yeoh Tiong Lay (SPYTL) is the construction arm of YTL Corp. It is principally involved in the construction of large-scale infrastructures including power plants, airport, hospitals, railway lines and telecommunications, as well as commercial and residential properties.

YTL Construction is the first turnkey contractor in Malaysia and has successfully completed over RM 20 billion worth of contracts on schedule and on budget. YTL Construction received the highest construction rating award, with a CIDB score of 5-star as a CIDB Grade G7 contractor.

In 1993, YTL Construction built and completed both gas-fired combined cycle power plants at Paka, Terengganu and Pasir Gudang, Johor with a total combined capacity of 1,212 MW. The open-cycle plant was completed in a world-record time of 10 months and the gas-fired combined cycle plant was completed in 22 months. In September 2017, the Paka power plant was awarded a supplementary PPA for a further period of 3 years and 10 months .

Additionally, YTL Construction was awarded the task of designing, constructing and maintaining a fully intermodal airport facility in Sibu, Sarawak. The Sibu Airport features a 6,400 m² terminal building with ancillary facilities and a 1,981 m by 45 m runway. The design of the airport is intended to accommodate a total operational capacity of 1.5 million passengers per year, as well as meet the changing demands of passengers and airlines.

Furthermore, YTL Construction has a longstanding interest in hospitals and healthcare buildings, leading to the pioneering design and construction of 12 nucleus concept hospitals, comprising a total of 2,458 outpatient beds throughout Malaysia. These innovative nucleus concept hospitals were a turnkey project, whereby YTL Construction took full responsibility of the commissioning, maintenance and execution of the fully equipped healthcare facilities in Batu Pahat, Sabak Bernam, Port Dickson, Kulim, Sungai Siput, Seberang Jaya, Kuala Pilah, Segamat, Kulai, Miri, Labuan and Sipitang.

Furthermore, in 2002, YTL Construction completed the construction of the Express Rail Link (ERL) train stations, as well as the engineering works for Malaysia’s first high-speed rail service connecting KLIA to the KL city centre. The ERL is the fastest and cheapest high-speed rail in Southeast Asia.

In 2014, YTL Construction undertook the extension of the ERL service connecting KLIA with KLIA2, and subsequently won the Global AirRail Awards (GARA) for the third time through Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERLSB) . In 2024, the federal government and ERLSB signed a new supplementary concession agreement. The 30-year concession agreement will run from 2029 to 2059 and will allow the operator of the KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit city-to-airport services to implement a ‘market-driven’ fare structure .

Furthermore, YTL Construction, together with its joint venture partner, SIPP Rail Sdn. Bhd. was appointed as the local subcontractors to carry out the design, construction, supply, installation, completion, testing, commissioning and maintenance for the 197km electrified double track project from Gemas to Johor Bahru . The new link will reduce the travelling time between Gemas and Johor Bahru to just 90 minutes.

In 2021, YTL Construction acquired 89.3 acres of land from Boustead in Bukit Raja to design and build a 6 million sq ft multi-storey warehouse facility. The Bukit Raja warehouse development will be one of Malaysia’s largest warehouses by square feet upon completion. Phase 1, which comprises over 39 acres, was completed in June 2023. Meanwhile, e-commerce platform Shopee, has signed a 12-year tenancy with rental escalation every 3 years for 1.42 million square feet, which should drive construction earnings over the next few years.

Other than that, YTL Construction was the first to submit an RM 8 billion proposal to the government for a high-speed rail link between Malaysia and Singapore back in 2006. Both countries signed the legally-binding bilateral agreement in 2016 after three years of negotiations. In 2018, MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd (MyHSR Corp) appointed YTL Construction as one of the two project delivery partners (PDP) for the Kuala Lumpur – Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project.

The HSR is seen as a strategic project to enhance business linkages, promote tourism and bring the people of two countries closer together, generating long-term economic growth. However, in 2021, the Kuala Lumpur – Singapore HSR bilateral agreement was officially terminated after the top leaders of Malaysia and Singapore agreed to let the deal lapse.

In 2023, MyHSR Corp issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the Malaysian government to assess the private sector’s ability to fully finance the project without state funds or guarantees. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s administration has stated that reviving the HSR project is estimated to cost over RM 100 billion . As of March 2024, YTL Construction – SIPP Rail Sdn Bhd’s concept proposal for the HSR project is believed to be shortlisted.

In addition, YTL Construction has been involved in constructing and installing all telecommunication infrastructure for the Yes network. YTL Construction is also the main contractor and infrastructure builder for rooftop stations, rapid deployment structures (RDS), lamp pole and monopole structures, and lattice tower structures.

Furthermore, new residential contracts in the pipeline include the proposed development in Kwasa Damansara. YTL Construction entered into an agreement with Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd (Kwasa Land), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), to develop a residential project in Kwasa Damansara with an estimated gross development value of RM 200 million. Its strategic location is supported by key transportation infrastructure including Subang Airport, Kwasa Sentral and Kwasa Damansara MRT stations and a network of four expressways.

Over the past few years, YTL Construction was recognised and awarded:

• The Top 5 Winner in 2018 at the Graduates’ Choice Award under the category of Property Developer.
• The Top 5 Winner in 2019 at the Graduates’ Choice Award under the category of Property Developer.
• The Top 5 Winner in 2020 at the Graduates’ Choice Award under the category of Property Developer.
• The Platinum Land Transport Award at the Kuala Lumpur International Logistics and Transport (KiLAT) Excellence Awards 2021.
• The Notable Achievement at the Prime Minister’s Hibiscus Awards 2021/2022 under the Environmental Performance category.
• The First Runner-Up for the esteemed Diversity & Inclusivity (D&I) Award at the 4th British Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (BMCC) Business Excellence Award 2023.

YTL Land and Development Berhad

YTL Corp’s residential property development activities, such as building high-quality houses, apartments and condominiums with innovative designs, are implemented through its subsidiary, YTL Land and Development Berhad (YTL Land). YTL Land currently has a land bank of more than 2,000 acres of strategic development land in Malaysia. The estimated sales value is RM 12 billion.

YTL Land’s Sentul Masterplan was unveiled in 2002, including Sentul West and Sentul East. In 2010, Lake Edge in Puchong was another of YTL Land’s developments that transformed a disused mining area into an Australia-inspired, gated-and-guarded residential development with terraced houses, semi-detached homes and bungalows.

Furthermore, in 2011, YTL Land completed the construction of Sandy Island & Kasara, marking YTL Corp Group’s paradigm shift into iconic, ultra-luxurious developments . In 2012, Sandy Island development won Best Residential (Low Rise) Award at the 2nd FIABCI Singapore Property Awards.

In 2018, YTL Land launched its freehold condominium, 3 Orchard By-the-Park, the first luxury high-rise project in Singapore. The 77-unit, luxury condo on Orchard Boulevard is designed by Italian architect and designer Antonio Citterio as “Villas in the Sky”. In October 2019, YTL Land’s 3 Orchard By-the-Park won six awards at the EdgeProp Singapore Excellence Awards 2019: Design Excellence Award (Developer & Architect), People’s Choice Award, Top Boutique Development Award, Top Development Award and Top Luxury Development Award .

In August 2023, YTL Land announced its new high-rise development in Puchong with a fresh take on lakeside living, Danau Puchong. Additionally, YTL Land launched its Dedaun Rimba project, located within the 2,259-acre Kwasa Damansara township development, comprising 68 units of three-storey link houses and 196 units of 1½-storey townhouses. In February 2024, all link houses were fully sold, and its townhouses were 80% taken up during a sale preview .

Currently, among YTL Land’s largest projects is Sentul, an innovative 294-acre residential and commercial development known as Malaysia’s first private gated park in Kuala Lumpur. Over the next seven years, Sentul is expected to generate an estimated RM 8 billion in sales .

The preservation and restoration of Sentul Depot’s disused railway warehouses have created 200,000 sq ft of space repurposed into a social and entertainment hub. A vibrant profile of events has established Sentul Depot as a thriving hub of cultural and commercial significance. These include highly anticipated brand launches by BMW and Xiaomi, as well as a strong commitment to community engagement through public events such as the Riuh Ritma Raya bazaar, which was in collaboration with Lazada.

Further complementing Sentul’s rejuvenated landscape is the newly completed Sentul Pavilion in Sentul Park, a rare green lung in the heart of the city. Upcoming projects in Sentul East such as the d2, d5 and d8 commercial developments will further stimulate Sentul’s urban regeneration through innovative design and architecture.

Starhill Global Real Estate Investment Trust (Starhill Global REIT)

In 1999, when the neighbourhood was a high-crime-red-light district, YTL Corp acquired Lot 10, Starhill Shopping Centres and the JW Marriott Hotel from Taiping Co to prevent further deterioration . Today, the Bukit Bintang neighbourhood has transformed into one of the trendiest mall locations in Kuala Lumpur.

Starhill Global Real Estate Investment Trust (Starhill Global REIT) is a Singapore-based real estate investment trust investing in real estate used for retail and office purposes, both in Singapore and overseas.

The Singapore-based real estate investment trust had an initial property portfolio comprising stakes in two landmark properties along Singapore’s famed Orchard Road shopping belt, namely Ngee Ann City and Wisma Atria. In 2008, Starhill Global REIT acquired seven properties located in the prime areas of Roppongi, Shibuya-ku, Minato-ku and Meguro-ku in Tokyo, and a premier retail property in Chengdu, China .

Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd

YTL Corp owns a 45% stake in Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERLSB) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ERL Maintenance Support (E-MAS). E-MAS serves as a consultant to rail projects around the world.

In 1997, ERLSB was awarded the concession to operate the high-speed rail link between KLIA and KL Sentral under a 30-year concession. The ERL is the fastest and cheapest high-speed rail in Southeast Asia. In 2014, YTL Construction undertook the extension of the ERL service connecting KLIA with KLIA2, and subsequently won the Global AirRail Awards (GARA) for the third time through ERLSB.

Furthermore, through a smart partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) and Tourism Malaysia under the Tourism Recovery Plan 2022 (PRE 2.0), ERLSB offered discounted fares for Malaysians to boost domestic tourism and increase the use of public transport. The 8-month promotion, which ended in December 2022, was successful in helping ERL recapture lapsed leisure travellers and attract new passengers to the service following the pandemic.

In January 2024, the federal government and ERLSB signed a new supplementary concession agreement. The 30-year concession agreement will run from 2029 to 2059 and will allow the operator of the KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit city-to-airport services to implement a ‘market-driven’ fare structure.

Renewable energy

In support of the transition to a low carbon economy, YTL Corp Group has implemented various renewable energy integration projects across their business units and promoted the generation and use of renewable energy to facilitate the transition process and minimise the environmental footprint.

In 2022, YTL Power embarked on the development of the YTL Green Data Center Park (YTLDC) in Kulai, Johor. This will be the first data center campus in Malaysia to be co-powered by on-site renewable solar energy. The data center is located 30 km from Singapore in the Iskandar region of Johor and will be powered by a 500 MW solar farm.

Furthermore, ERLSB is the first rail and public transport operator in Malaysia to harvest solar energy for direct usage at its premises. As of April 2023, ERLSB launched its RE programme that promotes public transport usage and environmental protection in accordance with the government’s National Transport Policy (NTP) 2019 – 2030. The first phase of the project involves the installation of solar panels on the rooftops of Bandar Tasik Selatan and Salak Tinggi Station, as well as at the ERL Depot in Salak Tinggi. For its second phase, ERL also plans to expand RE usage through the installation of solar panels at its Traction Power Sub-Station (TPSS) located at Serdang. The solar panel installation at the TPSS is expected to contribute almost 1.5 gigawatt-hours of electricity and savings of RM108,000 per year — enough to power 100 million LED bulbs, 9,090 Nissan Leaf cars or 750,000 homes annually .

In addition, in October 2023, YTL PowerSeraya committed to building an additional 4 megawatt-peak (MWp) photovoltaic (PV) system at the Pulau Seraya Power Station (PSPS) on Jurong Island. It is scheduled for completion in September 2024. This expansion to the operational 1MWp solar PV system that was built in 2019, will bring the total solar PV capacity at PSPS to 5MWp.

Moreover, Ranhill remains dedicated to leading sustainability efforts through the adoption of clean energy. Its 50MW large scale solar (LSS) plant in Bidor, Perak, commenced commercial operations in February 2024. In a disclosure to Bursa Malaysia, this project marks Ranhill’s inaugural venture into owning large-scale solar assets, aligning with the company’s commitment to renewable energy.
