up with Prasarana to develop the Dang Wangi LRT station with a GDV of RM1.04bn where Prasarana will be entitled to 21.1% of the GDV. Both these projects will catapult CrestBld immediately into the big league development from its traditional construction base. Trading BUY

6) Market - Main local funds are likely to maintain buying support tomorrow ahead of 2012 1H closing but with no expectations of a solution coming from the Euro Summit over the week end, focus will return to the unsustainable sovereign debt issue hence we continue to recommend a sell into strength at this juncture.
