UEM Sunrise to bank on projects in southern region:

http://www.thestar.com.my/Business/Busines...ern-region.aspx

CYBERJAYA: UEM Sunrise Bhd, a unit of UEM Group Bhd, expects its projects in the southern region to contribute up to 65% to group revenue by next year.

The central region will account for 30% while 5% will come from others. UEM Sunrise is one of the master developers of Nusajaya, the country’s foremost economic corridor in the southern region.

The company expects Nusajaya to become the largest fully integrated urban development in South-East Asia upon completion.

Speaking to reporters at a media tour-central region, its managing director/chief executive officer Datuk Wan Abdullah Wan Ibrahim said the company was, however, still on the lookout for land in the Klang Valley.

“We have made bids for quite a number of projects to date but luck has not been on our side,” he added.

The company has at present a landbank of about 243ha in the central region and 2630ha in the southern region.

Wan Abdullah said UEM Sunrise was on a “buy mode” as it has a five year growth target to achieve.

“As our parent company is wholly-owned by the Government’s investment holding company, Khazanah, there are some expectations to fulfill, he added.

Meanwhile, UEM Sunrise gave an update in progress on Symphony Hills at Cyberjaya, its property portfolio in the central region.

It is an exclusive residential development with the country’s first Connected Intelligent Community, offering smart-home features and community connectivity through high-speed broadband.

The first phase of Symphony Hills saw the introduction of 416 landed homes divided into four types, Beethoven, Mozart, Schumann and Schubert.

The second phase comprises two residential towers, Verdi eco-dominiums, where 400 out of 800 units were introduced to the market in May this year.

These, including other UEM Sunrise ongoing projects in the central region like the Arcoris Mont’ Kiara and Summer VOS, will have a RM7bil gross development value when completed.

Internationally, UEM Sunrise continues expanding and seeking growth, especially in Singapore, India, Indonesia and Australia.

It has also expanded its presence to Vancouver, Canada, and retains a land bank in Durban, South Africa. – Bernama

Setia Haruman Embarks On Up-skilling Of Graduates To Boost Cyberjaya's Attractiveness:

http://www.bernama.com.my/bernama/v7/bu/ne...s.php?id=979348

CYBERJAYA, Sept 21 (Bernama) -- An intensive internship programme is now underway in Cyberjaya after a series of dialogues between several multinational corporations (MNCs) operating here and Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd (SHSB), the master developer of the country's leading ICT hub, following assertions that there could be a 'mismatch' in the knowledge and skills of graduates produced by local universities and what the MNCs require from them in the work environment.

The low take-up rate in the recruitment of graduates from local universities has prompted Setia Haruman to ensure the sustainability and pre-eminence of Cyberjaya through its own internship programme by up-skilling young graduates for the kind of work demanded by the MNCs.

Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal, founder and chairman of EMKAY Group, who is also the Chairman of Setia Haruman, said he has spent RM1.8 million on an industry-academia collaboration programme to train and improve the marketability of graduates from five local universities by improving their skill sets and language skills.

He said Setia Haruman aims to compile a report detailing the findings of the pilot project and offer recommendations to overcome the mismatch between future graduates and the industry.

"We are spending RM1.8 million from our own budget. This is to ensure that we find out the root cause relating to the mismatch (of skills). We decided to proceed with the internship and up-skilling programme to ensure that the immediate requirements needed by the industries in Cyberjaya are met by the students from these five universities -- Universiti Malaya, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Utara Malaysia and Taylors College University," he told BERNAMA TV recently.

Mustapha expressed surprise over the poor recruitment rate from the MNCs in the internship and up-skilling programme but stressed that he was undaunted by this and would carry out the internship and up-skilling programme up to December this year as he wanted to find out what had caused or led to this poor state of affairs.

"From the figures that I have just received, only seven out of the 300 graduates that indicated their interest were directly employed by the industry. And one of the major reasons is they are unable to communicate in English and the level of their command in English is low. I believe we have to do something concrete to overcome this problem."

Some of the other drawbacks uncovered were their critical thinking, cross-cultural, problem-solving and analytical skills. There are 74 graduates from these five universities currently undergoing Setia Haruman's internship and up-skilling programme.

Launched in 1997 by the country's fourth Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Cyberjaya was developed to help push the country towards a knowledge-based economy. Its aspiration to be one of the global ICT hubs has turned Cyberjaya into one of the top destinations for ICT Shared Services and Outsourcing (SSO) businesses. Over the next 10-15 years, businesses are expected to provide jobs for about 120,000 employees and the higher educational institutions here providing places for up to 30,000 students.

Today, Cyberjaya is home to many multinational companies such as Shell, HP, Ericsson, IBM, Dell, BMW, HSBC and DHL. It is also a choice location for educational establishments such as the Multimedia University, Limkokwing University College of Creative technology (LUCT), Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences (CUCMS) and University Malaysia of Computer Science and Engineering (UniMY).

In the last few years, many have also decided to stay in Cyberjaya in top-end residential developments such as Perdana Lakeview West, Perdana Lakeview East, The Serinity Garden Homes, Neo Cyber of EMKAY, Garden Residences and D'Melor Condominiums.

Mustapha, a property developer who has won many accolades for his property projects, does not see Cyberjaya as a property play but as the nucleus for the country's aspiration to have a high-income workforce.

"By December we hope that the 74 graduates in the internship and up-skilling programme, God willing, will be fully employed. We will be able to take up from there with the authorities on our findings in this pilot project and offer solutions on overcoming this mismatch," said Mustapha.

He said he was taking this initiative personally because of his concern about the sustainability of Cyberjaya if there was a lack local manpower to fulfil the requirements of multinationals operating there in the immediate and medium term.

"If these companies cannot find people of the right calibre, they would then be forced to look for foreign talents, which may raise their cost of doing business here in Cyberjaya," he said, stressing that the bleaker outlook over the medium term if the skills mismatch was not addressed would be that these companies might be encouraged to re-locate outside Malaysia if local talents were hard to come by.

"It all boils down to the cost of doing business in Cyberjaya and having the right skills required by the multinational companies," he stressed, adding that since he has been entrusted with the development of Cyberjaya, he would like to ensure its significance as the leading hub for the country's high-income economy as planned by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and its catalytic role in the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) as envisaged by Dr Mahathir.

I heard from 2 agents days ago saying they have completed 2 sub-sale transactions of semi-D in Garden Residence of 1.5million and 1.6million respectively. What a good appreciation..that means the 2 storey super link in Garden Residence can fetch up to 1.3 million now. Once IOI Resort City and other malls in Cyberjaya come up in Cyberjaya, I forecast the the semi-d in garden residence can hit 2.5 million at least. It's all good for those people have invested early in Garden Residence.

Dislike.

This minute he says Cyberjaya over supply, should not buy. Next minute he will say Cyberjaya infrastructure superb, BBB!

Ask him go fly kite.

Cannot post. Must be his gang.

China man is coming to cyberjaya....

http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v7/bu/newsb...s.php?id=982229

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd and Shanghai Overseas Affairs Service Centre Co Ltd (SOASC) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the development of an Integrated Entrepreneur Park in Cyberjaya with an estimated investment of RM6 billion.

The investment for the project, which is known as IndaCity Entrepreneur Park, will be implemented via either an outright purchase of land by SOASC or through a joint venture with Setia Haruman.

Setia Haruman Chairman Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar said the MoU could open doors to economic and cultural collaborations between the two cities via the setting up of the Integrated IndaCity Entrepreneur Park that would attract high impact companies from China to Cyberjaya.

"I am confident that this project will foster a closer relationship between the two cities," he said in a statement Tuesday.

Present to sign the MoU of SOASC was its Chairman, Wang Jie Min, while Setia Haruman was represented by its Executive Director Lao Chok Keang.

The ceremony was witnessed by Mustapha Kamal and SOASC advisor Tan Sri Micheal Chen Wing Sum.

"With the recent launching of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone in Shanghai, I expect more Shanghai enterprises to invest in Cyberjaya," said Wang.

Cyberjaya makes him so rich...

Of the 7,000 acres, about 3,300 acres have been reserved for public amenities and greenery. About 1,087 acres of the rest have been developed while 1,258 acres are in the planning/under construction stage. The remaining 1,300 acres — of which 500 have been designated for enterprises, 360 for residences, 34 for institutions and 104 for commercial projects — are estimated to have a development value of RM4.36 billion in 2016, Mustapha Kamal tells City & Country.

IT was a spectacular sight as almost 150 Harley Davidson and Ducati bikes roared out of the UEM Sunrise Showcase building along Jalan Kiara, Mon’t Kiara as they embarked on the Harley Owners Group & Ducati Club Malaysia Expedition Ride recently.

The historic Harley and Ducati Camaraderie Convoy saw more than 200 riders and pillion riders make the journey from Mon’t Kiara to UEM Sunrise Bhd’s boutique development Symphony Hills in Cyberjaya.

The round trip was an estimated 100km, with more than 10 safety marshals to guide the riders.

Harley Owners Group (HOG) Malaysia Chapter activity officer Ganeson S. said, “For the first time, Harley and Ducati riders will be riding together. It will certainly be an interesting ride as both clubs have very different styles.

“Harley riders are more slow and relaxed, while Ducati riders tend to be fast. Regardless of style, this ride is to enjoy the fellowship and camaraderie between both clubs.”
Happy wanderers : The bikers starting their journey to Cyberjaya on their trusty bikes.
Meanwhile, Ducati Club Malaysia treasurer Gaddaffi Ghazali said they were keen to learn about their ‘brothers’ from HOGMalaysia.

“We seldom are able to ride with other clubs. Having this opportunity to ride with HOGMalaysia will be invaluable,” he said.

Organiser and Harley Davidson rider Datuk Leonard Tan said it was heartening to see good response to the ride.

The riders were flagged off by UEM Sunrise Bhd managing director/chief executive officer Datuk Wan Abdullah Wan Ibrahim before making the two-hour journey to Cyberjaya.

The expedition ride was sponsored by UEM Sunrise Bhd.
Ganeson: It marked the first time Harley and Ducati riders rode together.
Once there, the riders participated in some games that included physical and mental challenges before being treated to a well-deserved dinner.
