that sounds reasonable as the risk for old tenant is only the delta, between his an new tenant rental price although delta could be steep. But it opens a cheaper rent for new tenant, thereby avoiding empty premises. The roll over of the past 40 years saw: -Anyone wanting business in Asia, settled in Japan. -Japan got too expensive, HK opened up competition. -HK got too expensive, Singapore opened up competition. -Singapore got too expensive, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia opened up competition. Jakarta went down after 1997/98 meltdown since infrastructure is terrible. Malaysia got that business. Bangkok has the attraction of being a nice country and cost effective. Slowly in the next years, who is in Bangkok and KL will move to Singapore as prices goes brutally down since the level of efficiency is much higher than Malaysia and Bangkok.
