Huge premium for significant prospects


Sunway Medical Centre

PETALING JAYA: The large premium valuations that was ascribed to the 16% stake disposal in Sunway Healthcare to the Singaporean government through GIC (Ventures) Pte Ltd appears to be the main focal point of the deal that was announced on Wednesday.

The willingness by a foreign investor to pay such a huge premium also highlights that growth prospects remain intact within the private hospital healthcare segment in Malaysia with pockets of opportunities for those who are willing to wait it out for the longer term.
