Awang Tengah, who is also the Second Minister of Natural Resources and Urban Development, said that since 2018, infrastructure development for the scheme has been implemented with new specifications involving the construction of, among others, paved roads, concrete drains and water and electricity supply reticulation systems, involving an average cost of RM150,000 per lot. 'However, taking the people's welfare into consideration, the government has set the land premium payment at no more than RM2,500, which can be paid in annual instalments for up to 10 years,' he said.

Spark New Zealand (NZSE:SPK) earnings and shareholder returns have been trending downwards for the last three years, but the stock climbs 3.4% this past week
For many investors, the main point of stock picking is to generate higher returns than the overall market. But in any portfolio, there are likely to be some stocks that fall short of that benchmark. Unfortunately, that's been the case for longer term Spark New Zealand Limited (NZSE:SPK) shareholders, since the share price is down 55% in the last three years, falling well short of the market decline of around 9.4%. The more recent news is of little comfort, with the share price down 50% in a year. Furthermore, it's down 26% in about a quarter. That's not much fun for holders. The recent uptick of 3.4% could be a positive sign of things to come, so let's take a look at historical fundamentals. Our free stock report includes 4 warning signs investors should be aware of before investing in Spark New Zealand. Read for free now. While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price. Spark New Zealand saw its EPS decline at a compound rate of 23% per year, over the last three years. So do you think it's a coincidence that the share price has dropped 23% per year, a very similar rate to the EPS? We don't. So it seems that investor expectations of the company are staying pretty steady, despite the disappointment. It seems like the share price is reflecting the declining earnings per share. The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). NZSE:SPK Earnings Per Share Growth May 8th 2025 It's probably worth noting we've seen significant insider buying in the last quarter, which we consider a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider. This free interactive report on Spark New Zealand's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further. What About Dividends? When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. In the case of Spark New Zealand, it has a TSR of -43% for the last 3 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.

Saudi Museums Commission and Germany's SPK launch executive program to boost museum collaboration
RIYADH — The Saudi Museums Commission and Germany's Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (SPK) have activated an Executive Program to deepen long-term cooperation across the museum sector, marking a major milestone in bilateral cultural collaboration. The program includes the creation of a loan index featuring selected artworks and artifacts from SPK's Berlin-based museums to be shared with the Museums Commission over a five-year period. It also covers joint exhibitions in art and archaeology, strategic cultural initiatives, and capacity-building through training and residencies. A key feature of the partnership is Museums in Motion, a flagship initiative set to unite up to 80 cultural professionals from both nations through four interdisciplinary training sessions held in Saudi Arabia and Germany. The program aims to foster professional exchange and long-term institutional partnerships. Additionally, a secondment initiative with Berlin's Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart will support Saudi talent development in museum management and curation. Over five years, SPK experts will provide training, mentorship, and collaborative knowledge-sharing. — SG
