Malaysia Star:

HELP International Corp Bhd plans to allocate RM100mil for the construction of its new integrated campus in Shah Alam.

President and co-founder Dr Paul T.H. Chan said: ‘We need an integrated campus to accommodate the increasing number of students.’

Yesterday, shareholders approved the proposed acquisition of 23.29 acres in Subang 2 Delima by its wholly owned unit Help University College Sdn Bhd from Juta Permai (M) Sdn Bhd for RM20.29mil.

The proposed flagship campus, with a built-up area of 600,000 sq ft, would be developed in four phases and was expected to be completed in 7 to 8 years, Chan said after the company AGM and EGM yesterday.

The project would be funded by internal funds and bank borrowings, he said, adding that the campus would accommodate 13,000 students. Read more.
