Sime Darby Property Winding Up Dormant Sabah Arm with No Impact on Group Earnings

Kuala Lumpur, September 5, 2025 — Sime Darby Property Bhd has resolved to voluntarily wind up its wholly owned subsidiary, Sime Darby Property (Sabah) Sdn Bhd (SDP Sabah), after declaring the unit dormant. The decision was endorsed during a members’ meeting held on September 3, 2025, where the company also appointed a liquidator to oversee the process.

Once engaged in property development and investment in Sabah, SDP Sabah has not conducted business for some time. Its operations ceased after it became inactive, prompting the move to dissolve it. A company spokesperson affirmed that this winding-up will not materially affect Sime Darby Property’s financial performance, nor will it have any impact on earnings or net assets for the financial year ending December 31, 2025.

The decision underscores Sime Darby Property’s broader drive for corporate streamlining and realignment. As part of its evolving strategy, the company has been reshaping its portfolio to focus resources on more active development zones—where the potential for returns remains strong.

Investors and analysts view the move as prudent, allowing the Group to reduce administrative complexity and capitalise on its active ventures across key markets such as the Klang Valley without distraction from legacy structures. It also aligns with ongoing restructuring efforts to concentrate on growth corridors that sustain demand and project scaling.
