I
t’s about that time again: A new year is upon us, which means new beginnings and the utmost attempts for self-betterment. Some of us will have resolutions to live up to while others promise to put aside money for that dream home. A number of us might even resolve to grow professionally. Whatever it is, I hope you all have a plan. There’s a proverb that states, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.” Not sure who said that, it seems to stay in my head. This proverb is one that resonates Dato’ Kenny Chong, the man behind De Centrum City. He is leading a team of great individuals into an exciting new year and from what I can tell, we will be hearing a lot from them in 2016. Our Developer of the Month, EMKAY Group, has had a slight facelift through a rebranding process but what is most exciting about their development is that it targets a younger and more
vibrant clientele. Chief Operating Officer Mazrita Mazlan, talks about EMKAY’s latest development targeting a younger generation of buyers. Which should be good news for the young people we interviewed in our Gen-Y story. Listen to what they have to say. They are after all, the leaders and influencers of tomorrow. In closing, let me say what a wonderful year this has been for Property Insight. We recently took some time off and wandered into the wilderness to embrace being one with nature. It was an amazing trip and from what I can see, it has done wonders for the team. If 2015 was a good year, then let’s make 2016 an even better one. We have quite a few surprises in store for you, so keep reading. Here’s wishing each and every one of you an exciting and fruitful New Year and may you achieve all that you have set out to achieve.
