                       (a)   Contract liabilities

                           Contract liabilities recognised arise from property development activities. Typical payment terms are
                           as follows:

                           The Group receives certain percentage of the contract value as deposit from customers when they
                           sign the sale and purchase agreement. The deposit is recognised as a contract liability until the
                           properties are completed and transferred to the customers. The rest of the consideration is typically
                           paid when the property is assigned to the customer.
