'IJM Land was sold down (pre-suspension share price of RM2.86) this morning (Jan 30) prior to the announcement that the proposed merger with MRCB had been aborted. We are unfazed.

We believe they have enough strong catalysts for them to move forward on their own,' it said in a research note after the announcement,' it said in a research report.
