Property Perfect chief executive officer Chainid Ngowsirimanee said in the statement that the company would finance the deal with cash flow. Earlier, Chainid told The Nation that the company aimed to expand investment overseas, with focus in Asia. Property Perfect International was established in Singapore on August 14 to support this policy.
