The 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of CapitaLand Malaysia Trust (CLMT) was held at Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur, drawing a sizeable turnout of retail investors. Attendees were provided with food packages as part of the hospitality, but notably, there was no door gift or corporate merchandise distributed—a departure from previous years’ AGMs, where small tokens such as shopping vouchers or branded items were commonly given.

This change did not go unnoticed; many unitholders expressed their dissatisfaction during the Q&A session. Some voiced concerns that the removal of door gifts reflected poorly on CLMT’s investor engagement efforts, especially in a time when other REITs continued to maintain the practice.
The management acknowledged the feedback and emphasized the importance of cost prudence and delivering long-term value through operational performance rather than non-essential giveaways. However, the response appeared to do little to appease a portion of the investor base, many of whom consider such gestures as a symbol of appreciation for their continued support.
