EDITOR’S NOTE
EDITORIAL
Marching ahead gloriously
Dato’ KK Chua, Editor-in-Chief
I
t was indeed a pleasant year for Property Insight. We are thinking forward with exciting plans lined up ahead. I would like to take this opportunity to extend to all our enterprising readers a ‘Happy New Year 2017’ and a ‘Merry Xmas’. Despite a few crucial challenges we faced this year, my sincerest thoughts are, that we should stay focused and intact in our mission to sail through towards a prosperous 2017. Whether rain or shine, we will grow together confidently to create a positive impact in our lives. I am proud to say that our recent ‘The 100 Most Influential Young Entrepreneur 2016 Gala Night’ was a successful ceremony, with deserving talents receiving accolades for the success of where they stand today. The event was graced by YB Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Joseph Kurup and YB Datuk Joseph Entulu Anak Belaun, Ministers in the Prime Minister’s Department, and was attended by 800 entrepreneurs’ representatives on 11 November, at St Regis Hotel, KL. Our cover story was penned by Felicia Soon, on the prestigious Kenwingston Square Garden development located in Cyberjaya’s Flagship Zone. Dato’ Lovis Lam spoke on the humble beginnings of Kenwingston Sdn Bhd, to making it a trendy lifestyle living for the community.
Developer of the Month story titled ‘Pursuit of a Better Tomorrow’ focused on SP Setia’s recent developments, shedding light on their corporate social responsibility campaigns. This month’s issue opens to two exciting featured properties, namely KM Land, written by senior writer Mages PV Lingam and Marvelane Homes by Felicia Soon. Under Rookie Investor, Divya Prembaj has penned the heartfelt account of Ong Chyuan, a young man’s journey in achieving his real estate goals, despite constant barriers standing in his way. Entrepreneur Insight’s column denotes further input on the recent budget, as expanded in the article ‘Post Budget Economic Outlook 2017’ to assist hopeful future entrepreneurs in manoeuvring the current market climate that we are under. A lot of thoughtful information can be obtained from this month’s issue, from key opinion leaders within industries that dictate the wheels of our turning markets. I hope that you will gain additional knowledge, and lots of food for thought, pertaining to property and the industry at a large in the months to come. Again, I would like to share a quote before I sign off for the year, “Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.” – Carl Bard. Happy New Year 2017 & Merry Xmas!
