Joland & PGB
Joland Group and Paragon Globe Berhad
PGB Iconic Sdn Bhd develops The Iconic and is described in Bursa announcements as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paragon Globe Berhad.
Verified relationship (not “same company”)
Paragon Globe Berhad’s corporate profile explains that the listed group began as Goh Ban Huat Berhad (1948), that Paragon Adventure Sdn Bhd undertook a mandatory takeover in 2017, and that the group was rebranded as Paragon Globe Berhad in 2018.
Independent reporting by The Star (31 January 2024) states that Paragon Adventure Sdn Bhd is a member company of Joland Group and that Joland Group and PGB expand their respective business portfolios. That means the entities can be related through shareholding/control history without being the same company.
Paragon Maplewood should not be listed as a PGB Iconic project. Launch coverage associates Maplewood with Joland Group and a Kuopacific Group Malaysia joint venture, with a separate sales agency appointment.
