Invest Malaysia was organised for the fourth consecutive year in collaboration with Bursa Malaysia. It was a memorable
session with Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak delivering the keynote address. Jim Rogers was
invited to share investing insights together with institutional and retail investors. We were heartened by the tremendous
response from both our clients and corporates who were showcased to the investment community through presentations,
small group and one-on-one meetings. This year, we saw an increase in the number of overseas fund managers flying in for
the meet. We take that as recognition of the improvement of our regional franchise since our merger.

In 2013, Maybank Singapore financed Greenpac, an environmental packaging firm. Greenpac’s objective is to be Singapore’s first ‘green factory’. The Green Mark Gold-
certified industrial building is the first in Singapore to quantify its carbon footprint during construction. The 180,000 sq ft building represents a holistic approach to
sustainability, from its energy source to the philosophy of its staff.
In the area of water sustainability together with Maybank Kim Eng Securities Pte Ltd we financed Singapore’s second and largest desalination plant, the Tuaspring
Desalination Plant. This initiative requires a S$720 million, 18-year term loan to fund the facility’s desalination and power plants. The facility will contribute to the
diversification and sustainability of Singapore’s water supply and is projected to reduce carbon footprint by more than 30%.
