The cost of Semenyih land, Puchong land and office building are RM3,500,000, RM4,000,000 and RM5,000,000, respectively. Puchong land was acquired to construct Nayland's warehouse while the office building was rented out to its subsidiary company, Mayland Bhd at market rental rates.However, the management of Nayland Bhd has not decided whether to use Semenyih land for expansion or sell it later when the price goes up.
