KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 22 -- Expanding bumiputera participation in commercial real estate is an important lever in MalaysiaââââÅ¡¬'s nation-building agenda, with Pelaburan Hartanah Bhd (PHB) acting as a key institutional platform to drive wealth creation and economic growth.The government-linked institution views commercial real estate not merely as an asset class but as a mechanism for capital formation and economic participation, enabling bumiputera investors to gain exposure to sustainable, income-generating properties.Its group managing director and chief executive officer Mohamad Damshal Awang Damit said this broader nation-building role has guided his leadership approach since assuming the position, with a focus on strengthening PHBââââÅ¡¬'s resilience, relevance, and sustainability over the long term. --fotoBERNAMA (2025) COPYRIGHT RESERVED
