World-renowned brands such as Laura Ashley and Lotus racing cars are owned by Malaysians, but it has taken the £8bn regeneration project of Battersea Power Station to really bring Malaysia's UK investments into focus. Property developer SP Setia, oil plantations giant Sime Darby, and Employees Provident Fund, the largest Malaysian government pension fund, are behind the consortium that is developing the iconic site. Other institutional investors, including Islamic pension fund Tabung Haji and fund management giant Permoladan Nasional Berhad (PNB) are also snapping up prime London real estate.
