From the PietyTHP website:

Dato’ Roszali Bin Othman

Director

Dato’ Roszali Othman, 57, was appointed the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of TH Properties on July 1, 2011 owing to his years of experience in the industry.

He holds a B.Sc. (Hons) in Land Surveying Sciences from the University of East London. He attended the Advanced Management Program at INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France in 2004, and also the Oxford Advanced Management Program at Said Business School, University of Oxford, United Kingdom, in 2008.

He has held directorships in various companies since 2001 including Chief Operating Officer of Megara Properties (M) Sdn Bhd, Director of Property of Golden Hope Plantation Berhad / Golden Hope Development Sdn Bhd, and Director of Property of Island & Peninsular Berhad.

Dato’ Roszali is currently the Chairman of THP Bina Sdn Bhd, THP Hartanah Sdn Bhd, Thp-SBB JV Sdn Bhd, and TH Universal Builders Sdn Bhd, as well as a Board Member of TH Properties Sdn Bhd, THP Enstek Development Sdn Bhd, THP Sinar Sdn Bhd, THP Development Consultancy Sdn Bhd, THT-HCM JV Sdn Bhd, Ultimate Building Machine Sdn Bhd, Roadcare (M) Sdn Bhd, and HCM-TH Technologies Sdn Bhd. He is also a Fellow of the Institution of Surveyors, Malaysia (FISM).

Rozali is no longer the Group MD, CEO of THP, so the question arises why he has been allowed to remain on the Piety-THP Board. Readers will recall that the assets held in this JV are meant to have been transferred to Urusharta Jamaah Sdn Bhd, and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ministry Of Finance Malaysia.

Urusharta Jamaah Sdn Bhd,Tabung Haji special audit may be required with regards investments in Australia

by Ganesh Sahathevan

                                         Is Team Azeez still pulling the strings at Tabung Haji
                                         and its subsidiaries, including TH Properties. 



The recent revelations by Tabung Haji and TH Properties Sydney based JV partner  requires a re-assessment of TH and TH Properties assets transferred to Urusharta Jamaah Sdn Bhd. It also raises the question whether TH and TH Properties have retained assets within themselves that have not been accounted for, or held in off balance sheet entities.

Unless a thorough investigation is carried out, the above questions cannot be answered in any meaningful way.Ultimately it is Tabung Haji depositors who will suffer.

 Govt to bear more than RM10.3b losses in Tabung Haji's rescue plan, if assets depreciate

By NST Business - November 14, 2019 @ 12:47pm

KUALA LUMPUR: Urusharta Jamaah Sdn Bhd (UJSB), a wholly-owned unit of the Ministry of Finance Incorporated, highlighted if the assets transferred from Lembaga Tabung Haji (LTH) were to depreciate further, the government will incur losses higher than RM10.3 billion.

Among non-performaning assets transferred into UJSB include 1.568 acres at Tun Razak Exchange (TRX).

In a statement today, UJSB said the LTH rescue plan which was completed on December 28, 2018, involved a transfer of non-performing assets worth RM9.63 billion from LTH to UJSB in exchange for RM19.90 billion.

It consisted of two tranches of Sukuk totalling RM19.6 billion and RM300 million respectively in cash payable to LTH.

"The difference of RM10.3 billion between the consideration of RM19.9 billion and RM9.63 billion market value of assets is to be borne by the government to ensure that the financial health of LTH is restored," UJSB said.

It cautioned that if the value of the assets depreciates further, the government will incur losses higher than RM10.3 billion.

The assets transferred into UJSB are made up of listed equity holdings, properties and one unlisted plantation asset.

The property assets transferred to UJSB include 1.568 acres at Tun Razak Exchange (TRX).

"The land was purchased by LTH at RM188.5 million or RM2,760 per sq ft. This is significantly higher than that paid for by 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) at only RM75 per sq ft (or RM5.1 million for 1.568 acres)," the statement said.

The land was then purchased by UJSB from LTH at RM400 million (RM5,856 per sq ft), which does not reflect the actual market value of the TRX land.

The purchase was at 112.2 per cent premium to what LTH paid in April 2015 (RM188.5 million or RM2,760 per sq ft).

"In a recent valuation exercise conducted in March 2019, the market value of the said TRX land stood at only RM205 million.

"The huge difference between the market value and the purchase value of the land (95 per cent premium over market value), together with all the other assets acquired by UJSB, was needed to ensure the successful rescue and restructuring plan of LTH," UJSB said.

UJSB will bear significant losses as a result of impairment charges estimated at more than RM10 billion for the assets acquired from LTH.

It noted that the TRX land transaction itself will result in an impairment charge of RM195 million.

"With the transfer of assets now completed, UJSB will continue with its mandate and purpose, which are to carry out the rehabilitation and restructuring of assets under its care.

"We will maximise asset recovery value and redeem all monetary instruments issued by UJSB and subscribed by LTH in a timely manner," the statement said.
