We came up with strategy to divert some of the asset, so the profit we make can sustain the DPU for the 'down' period. At the same time we diversified into developed markets such as Australia that provides long weighted average lease to expiry, stable income and freehold land tenure. Suntec REIT's retail portfolio has an occupancy of 98.4% and its office portfolio has an occupancy of 99.1%."
