CapitaLand Malaysia Trust (CLMT) is a REIT listed on Bursa Malaysia, with a diversified portfolio of six retail and two logistics properties across Malaysia, including Gurney Plaza, Queensbay Mall, and Valdor Logistics Hub. Managed by CapitaLand Malaysia REIT Management, CLMT reported a record net property income of RM263.93 million and a distribution per unit of 4.65 sen in FY2024. The trust is also recognized for its sustainability efforts, earning a 3-star rating in the 2024 GRESB Real Estate Assessment.
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 distributedโa departure from previous yearsโ 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 CLMTโs 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.
