Tycoon Robert Kuok's record payment for land in Johor is talk of the town in M'sia-S'pore


PETALING JAYA: The price that tycoon Robert Kuok is paying for a piece of 5.06ha freehold land in Puteri Harbour, Johor, has become the talk of the town and even across the causeway, where the Singaporean media is hailing it as the “new price benchmark” in Nusajaya.

The views on the transaction are varied, though. While Singapore's Business Times wrote that it was a record price for the Nusajaya land, substantiating it with the toppish RM334 per sq ft (psf) price paid by Kuok, there are others who are claiming that the billionaire is getting the land on the cheap.
