PETALING JAYA: Sime Darby Property reiterated its stand on the Taman Subang Ria development plan saying the park is private property belonging to the group, and not a public park as claimed by certain quarters.

Its managing director, Datuk Tunku Putra Badlishah in a statement said, "We have every intention of upgrading the 53.66 acres of the said property as a recreational park and handing it over to the relevant authorities, who could then choose to gazette Taman Subang Ria as a green lung and public recreational park eventually."

KUALA LUMPUR: It was supposed to be the Super League. Yet, plantation giants Sime Darby opted to start from the bottom the FAM league.

The move raised eyebrows as Sime Darby were in talks with now-defunct clubside MyTeam about buying the reality club.
