KUALA LUMPUR: Asian Pac Holdings Bhd's unit Safe Valley Sdn Bhd is disposing four pieces of freehold land in Setapak measuring about 8.7 million acres to Axis Milestone Sdn Bhd for RM49.11 million cash.

In a filing to Bursa Malaysia on Monday, Dec 27, Asian Pac said the lands were acquired in September 2007 at a cost of about RM22.06 million.
