It is interesting how this can be pulled-off. As far as I know, bond holders are creditors (i.e. they lend money to companies issuing the bonds); equity holders are owners (i.e. they put money into a company to own a part of it). Aren't there accounting rules that governing this?

it is perpetual, means it is kinda equity; but if it is callable, it exhibit certain feature of bond.
basically it is a hybrid between equity and bond.

Perpetual+Callable Preference Shares:
i have coined this category of financial instrument as the issuers playing a game of:
"Head they win, Tail you lose" type of products.

2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

I think it's going to be popular with other REITs as it looks like a loop-hole that reduces their Aggregate Leverage (cos' it's being recognised as a securities rather than debts!). Perhaps we'll see a day when REITs have zero Aggregate Leverage (they pay off all Debts, redeem all Bonds and just issue Perps, a perpetual amount of Perps as long as they're takers)!
Extracts from MLT SGX Annc,
The net proceeds arising from the issue of the Securities (after the deduction of fees and expenses in connection with the issue) will be used by MLT for general corporate funding purposes, including the funding of acquisitions (see further details below). Given that the Securities will be accounted as equity, the Manager expects that the Aggregate Leverage of MLT will decrease from 41.4% following the issuance of the Securities.

My Respect:
You seem to be very quick to see a bargain or loop-hole very fast. You are really "On the BOLA". i just read a little about it somewhere but not so much details as you. Please share more if you can or willing. Thanks, thanks.
