preserving as much of the natural environment in its developments, award-winning German-based landscape architectural firm, Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl, had been engaged to realise the vision of Melia Residences’ unique lakeside living – drawing on their experiences and expertise in having previously developed Singapore’s Bishan – Ang Mo Kio Park and Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, Germany. Melia Residences offers a plethora of facilities like multipurpose hall, badminton court, indoor commercial-grade gym, outdoor gym, sauna, tennis court, three uniquely designed children playgrounds, walking paths, jogging and cycling tracks around tree-lined lakeside as well as a variety of signature pavilions around the entire estate; making ample opportunities for family recreational activities in addition to the generous open spaces for picnic and barbecue outings. Scenic lakes stretching over seven acres adorns the heart of the development with up to 1.3 kilometres perimeter pathways, designed to enhance residents’ living experience.   Strategically located five kilometres away from Malaysia’s Sultan Abu Bakar CIQ Complex and Singapore’s Tuas

Checkpoint, Melia Residences is easily accessible via the Second Link Expressway and the Coastal Highway. The development is near major amenities in Iskandar Malaysia, such as the Columbia Asia Hospital; and EduCity – a fully integrated education hub comprising universities, institutes of higher education, academia-industry action and R&D centres as well as recreational and sports facilities. Designed to benefit from the impending High Speed Rail, which links Malaysia and Singapore, Melia Residences is also located near the alternative entry point to Malaysia from Indonesia via the Puteri Harbour International Ferry Terminal.  As part of the 4,551-acre Gerbang Nusajaya community, occupants of Melia Residences are set to benefit from the surrounding catalytic developments such as Nusajaya Tech Park – an integrated eco-friendly industrial park; FASTrack Iskandar – a 300-acre integrated motorsports hub incorporating automotive-related commercial, retail and hospitality offerings; entertainment and leisure destinations such as LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort, Sanrio Hello Kitty Town, Thomas Town, Mall of Medini, Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club and the Puteri Harbour Marina.

“This development is a true testament to our ongoing efforts in delivering stunning fresh

concepts that are exquisite at an exceptional value. Melia Residences redefines all benchmarks

in township development and township living” – Raymond Cheah, COO Commercial

FOREWARDIn a wink of an eye, six months have passed and we meet again in this latest edition of The Personalty where we are pleased to present to you another series of updates that have taken place at UEM Sunrise. 2016 is proving to be quite a challenging year for both the Malaysian economy as well as the property market. While UEM Sunrise has not been spared, we have adapted our strategies to navigate through the current difficult environment—Melia Residences is evidence of this – a project that was launched based on market demand. Melia Residences strategically addresses the demand for landed strata properties in a market that is saturated with high-rise apartments. It also offers buyers the unique concept of lakeside living in Gerbang Nusajaya, Iskandar Puteri —one of the five flagship zones of Iskandar Malaysia, Johor. As a result, Melia Residences was extremely well-received with a take-up rate of 98% for Phase 1 and 83% for Phase 2 within two days of launch. We will work to maintain this momentum for the remaining phases as well as for our other projects. At UEM Sunrise, we are always striving to forge new relationships and build partnerships that provide opportunities for growth. Our joint venture with SUTL Marina Holdings to form ONE15 Marina in Puteri Harbour is an example of how we leverage strategic partnerships to add value to our existing projects and developments. In due time, Puteri Harbour will be enhanced and transformed into a premium integrated marina in the region. We have also inked two separate JV agreements with Mulpha International Bhd as well as Telekom Malaysia Bhd, and we have entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with AMOREPACIFIC for the sale of land parcels for the purpose of setting up an integrated centre at SiLC. You can read more about them on page 6 and page 8 respectively. In March, we hosted our very f irst architecture symposium in Melbourne, Australia featuring some of the world's most renowned architects which attracted over 250 attendees. Through the symposium, we ef fectively showcased our accomplishments, world-class properties and capabilities on a global stage thus further fortifying our position as a leader in property development. While there is no doubt the remainder of 2016 will be challenging, it would also prove to be an exciting period for UEM Sunrise – there are properties to launch and partnerships to form. We remain resolute in the face of adversity and will continue to provide home buyers with beautiful and high quality properties. On behalf of the Management and staff of UEM Sunrise, I would like to thank you, our valued stakeholders, for your continuous and unwavering support.

Warmest regards,

Dato’ Izzaddin IdrisExecutive Director

More than 250 guests attended with hopes of winning more than RM2 million worth of lucky draw prizes. “ I feel really lucky and happy to have won a Range Rover Evoque at the event. My family trusts UEM Sunrise and we believe in the Company’s quality and standards, from its products to its service. I really must thank UEM Sunrise. My family received impeccable sales service through Ms. Jennie Foo who helped us without any hesitation,” Mr. Sangar said. Thanks to the Marketing and Sales Executive’s dedication in helping find what they were looking for, the Sangar family are soon-to-be happy residents of Noble Park in Iskandar Puteri. Iskandar Puteri’s strategic location between Malaysia and Singapore was not the only pull-factor for Mr. Sangar. The area’s offering of various international schools along with its pleasant environment was a top draw for him and his family. Mr. and Mrs. Sangar have three young children.

“My children’s education needs are important to me. I want them to have the best for their education which is why my son joined Marlborough College. We were looking for a property near Marlborough College when we met Ms. Jennie

Foo who illuminated us with relevant details of the property and future benefits that we will be able to enjoy. She told us about this lucky draw too,” he added. After viewing four to five different completed units, the family chose a

Noble Park property in East Ledang which is located only 2km away from EduCity, the region’s education hub. Complemented with family-friendly amenities nearby Noble Park including the Ledang Urban Retreat Clubhouse, the deal was sealed for Mr. Sangar. Eager to be residents of Noble Park, the Sangar family plans to move into their new home within this year.

For more than 20 years, Selangor-born Juliet Lam Pick Ping has been the Personal Assistant to the Chief Operating Officer of Development (“COO

Development”), illustrating loyalty and commitment to UEM Sunrise since its early days. Juliet has been instrumental in providing secretarial and administrative support to the COO Development as well as the Division, and has found her experience in UEM Sunrise to be especially enriching. Through her role, the Company has given her opportunities to continually learn new skills that are relevant to the property industry. Juliet has been involved in numerous projects that were under the purview of the COO Development Division in her many years of service in UEM Sunrise. She is integral to the team in administering the COO Development’s input, and in liaising across project teams in all communications with the COO Development. Sharing about some of the challenges that she faces on the job, Juliet identifies the main challenge as the need to juggle multiple assignments with coinciding deadlines. “This is where we must learn to anticipate potential problems and needs, prioritise important tasks, and do things without compromising the quality of the outcome. We can also learn from the past to improve ourselves. Looking at things retrospectively, we can review what, how and where we could have done things better,” she said. Juliet expresses gratitude for UEM Sunrise’s supportive work environment which turns challenges into something enjoyable. Working in a team comprising good colleagues

TALK OF THE TITANS

and esteemed superiors, UEM Sunrise cultivates a nurturing and lively work environment where the team respect and care for each other. Ideas and experiences are also shared freely and openly, illustrating the strength of the team’s rapport with each other. “I remember one particular training session where the team was divided into two groups to compete against each other to complete a puzzle within the shortest possible time. The facilitator remarked that she was impressed to witness the way we helped, guided and encouraged a member of the rival group to complete the puzzle,” she added. As UEM Sunrise grows, Juliet hopes to learn from the finest leadership and continue to help build the positive work environment shared between her peers and colleagues. “I hope to see UEM Sunrise’s position as one of the top property developers in the country to be elevated further as a premier lifestyle provider in Malaysia and well known internationally,” Juliet said. “I also aim to continue contributing meaningfully to the organisation. To borrow a quote from a well-known motivational speaker and author: ‘aspire to inspire before you expire!”

UEM SUNRISE YOUNG & FUTURE LEADERS - INSPIRING MENTOR SESSIONUEM Sunrise launched the inaugural Young & Future Leaders Inspiring Mentor Session on 10 and 17 May in the Central and Southern regions respectively. The two sessions were conducted by UEM Group Berhad’s Group Chief Financial Officer, En. Taufik Albar who brought over 18 years of experiences, having worked in various financial positions locally as well as abroad. Designed for up and coming leaders within the Company to convene into a discussion on empowerment driven topics; the Young & Future Leaders Inspiring Mentor Session is a forum for young leaders to interact with inspiring leaders and like-minded people; to get to know each other and expand their network; learn through real life experiences the true values and qualities of outstanding leaders; as well as to learn to set priorities and focus on completing the important tasks and elements of leadership from guest speakers. It is also to inculcate leadership mind-set and motivate young leaders to challenge themselves and take the lead. It is envisaged that through this forum, the young leaders will learn to build leaders around and within themselves.

KNOWLEDGE SHARING SERIES As part of the Company’s Knowledge Sharing Series, Ms. Penny Yaw, General

Manager of Market Research & Analytics from MD’s Office conducted a knowledge sharing session entitled “Takeaways From Trueventus 6th Annual

Shopping Malls Conference”; which covered topics such as consumer trends, the impact of the rise in the online shopping phenomenon, shopper experience, and the importance of reacting quickly to changing trends in order to remain relevant, in a world where individual needs and demands are extremely diverse. One of the main takeaway points from the session was that

shopping malls are no longer seen to be primarily about shopping, but a place that offers consumers an experience that is beyond just retailing.

The rise of digital technologies are also shaping consumer expectations and shifting the function of stores towards a useful and more entertaining

customer experience. Innovative malls are incorporating value-added elements and more event-oriented features such as concerts, arts centres, spas, fitness clubs

and farmer’s markets, which provide a level of leisure and entertainment that can never be satisfied online. Malls are also leveraging technologies and multichannel strategies

and engaging customers via compelling content and creating bonds with them through the social media, and proprietary sites and apps, as well as loyalty programmes.

The two-hour session also covered the subject of fundamental principles of shopping mall design and the lifestyle concept aimed to drive repeat visitation and spending, and ultimately greater consumer loyalty, as well as to ensure long-term sustainability.
