After giving a task regarding to the subject of strategic management, I have been decided to choose Landmark as a company to analysis about the company strategies.

The Group was also involved as the developer of Bandar Baru Wangsa Maju through its equity interest in PGK Sdn Bhd, now known as MSL Properties Sdn Bhd.
