Understandably, not many directors would want to be in such position

Isn't it that after the development is passed to the MCST, and after the warranty, it is no longer the responsibility of the developer to handle any complaints?

If that is the case, having a director of the developer within the MCST will have what difference?

lol, all the directors are probably staying in landed property.

Vested interest and connections.

An IT guy went to the boss' home to do up the intranet, though it is unlikley to be in his job description. If the director is asking the developer to fix up the termites infested swimming pool, if it is not too much an issue, I doubt it will be declined because it is beyond warranty. Real world is not so black and white.

last word is certainly yours, regardless how its read:

"... At the end of the day the property has been paid for and the company could posit as a property owner rather than a developer. ..."

Ditto here... Most likely someone with an axe to grind as all posts so far is right in this thread...

ditto, I'm sure all the experienced business experts have been right about direction of property development since the scratchy AGM few years back.

so, the experts reckon that sinking money into bricks & mortar even at a loss is always better than cash in the bank....

thanks for a most excellent weblink.

books & stationery stocks are easy to re-label, price-dumped & written-off, not so easy with empty floor-spaces on property development.

Why would he flip the property and incur loses through the stamp duties?

If the motive was the get the properties off the balance sheet, couldn't they just lower the list price?

No.

since share buy back stopped, share price has been slidding
