While presiding over the auspicious ceremony, Mr. Lim Peng Jin, who is the CEO of Scientex, remarked on how the company has emerged as one of the leading pioneers of Malaysia’s property market after successfully venturing out into other states including Penang since its establishment in Johor more than a decade ago.

“After having drafted all the exciting plans for the development of our previous project in January 2020, our country was not exempted from the Covid-19 pandemic which had brought adverse economic impacts and had halted the development of our project”, says Lim while reminiscing on the early days when their first project in Penang was beginning to be developed. “Despite the various challenges including the shortage of workers and materials, we managed to sold off all 2332 units of double terrace houses in two years’ time”, says Mr.PJ Lim while acknowledging the achievement of Scientex and thanking staffs of the company for pushing through their previous project during their initial venture in Penang.

Following the keynote speech, various exciting activities were also held throughout the fun-filled day which included a flag dance performance, lion dance, clown walkabout, face painting event, and an appearance by artist Iman Troye, entertaining families and kids. Additionally, two separate lucky draw sessions were featured, offering attractive prizes to be won by visitors.

As a mixed development project, Scientex Sungai Dua (Phase 1) features 309 units of double-storey terrace houses which is part of the Penang Affordable Housing Scheme. In terms of the layout of the entire housing project, a practical layout concept was adapted by Scientex while creatively incorporating modern and innovative elements into its exterior design to suit the evolving demands of the modern lifestyle. While keeping in mind the importance of providing utmost convenience to residents of the housing project, this mixed development project in Sungai Dua also houses various amenities such as shop offices, a leisure park and a multipurpose hall which are all located in close proximity to the existing township at Seberang Perai Utara District of Penang. As such, schools, markets, religious sites and other community facilities are all within easy reach and are easily accessible by residents of the area.

Apart from that, its unique selling point is the strategic location of the Scientex Sungai Dua housing project which boasts excellent connectivity to other major cities and townships in the region. With the Sungai Dua Toll Plaza being merely 7km away, the North-South Expressway and First Penang Bridge can be easily reached within 25 minutes. On top of that, the recently-completed access road linking Jalan Gelugor with Jalan Tun Hamdan Sheikh Tahir has also significantly shortened the distance between Scientex Sungai Dua with the township of Bertam which residents of the Sungai Dua housing project can now access much easier than before. Besides that, as the nearest KTM Station is only a 5-minute drive away from the housing project, commuting to other major cities and townships of Malaysia via the country’s advanced railway network has now been made easier for residents of the housing project.

Priced at only RM248,800* per unit, Scientex Sungai Dua is undoubtedly one of the best bargains that a home buyer can ever ask for due to its affordable price point.

Thirteen blocks of Taman Free School flats under the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) are set to undergo repainting work in stages.

Penang Local Government, Housing, Town and Country Planning Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo announced the approval of the repainting work during a visit to the site this morning.

“We completed the repainting work for more than 10 blocks of Taman Free School flats under the Penang Housing Board a few years ago.

“And now, we are focussing on the other blocks under the MBPP,” he said, adding that the repainting work would start at Block C and D. The work is scheduled to begin in May.

Specifying Taman Free School flats (under the MBPP and the Penang Housing Board), Jagdeep said about RM18.5 million has been spent on 613 works such as piping, roof repair, waterproofing, paving roads, repairing cracks, electrical maintenance, and repainting.

“We have also assisted in upgrading the lifts of Block L, M, and N of Taman Free School.

“We will continue to monitor the projects under the local councils (both on the island and the mainland) and the Penang Housing Board,” he added.

Also present were MBPP secretary Datuk A. Rajendran, MBPP councillor R. Kaliyappan, and Penang Housing Board chief business officer Fakhurrazi Ibnu Omar.

Council confiscates items after stop work order on heritage site ignored

The Penang Island City Council (MBPP) has confiscated construction materials and equipment after a contractor was found renovating a heritage building illegally.

The council said it had checked on the Customs building at China Street Ghaut on Sunday and found that renovations were being done without approval.

It checked on the site again on Monday to ensure there was no construction work being carried out, and this was reported to George Town World Heritage Incorporated (GTWHI) and the state heritage commissioner’s office.

“On Tuesday, we issued a notice under Section 79 of the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974, which requires the contractor to stop work immediately because we found that the contractor was still operating.

“We then proceeded to confiscate building materials and equipment from the site on the same day,” it said in a statement.

The council said checks yesterday found that there was no longer any work being done on the site.

FMT reported yesterday that the Customs building, formerly known as the Malayan Railway building, was in ruins after its interior was hacked by a contractor over the weekend.

The building is an example of early 20th century colonial architecture, and features a striking facade with a blend of European and Asian designs.

It has been marked as a Category I heritage building under the latest George Town World Heritage Site Special Area Plan draft, meaning it cannot be altered in any way.

Penang Technology Park@Bertam breaks ground in Kepala Batas today

penang-technology-park-groundbreaking

Penang is set to attract more international high-tech companies to venture into the state once the new Penang Technology Park@Bertam is completed in two years.

The project, which is being built by Ideal Property Group, is set to become a catalyst for economic growth in the region as it focuses on high-technology industries.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said it was a timely boost for the state as this project will spur the development of other related projects, especially in the north Seberang Perai district.

“The Penang Technology Park@Bertam spanning 880 acres, will uphold the state’s competitive edge, optimising the state’s resources to harness its full potential for strategic investors.

“The park is also designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating features such as green spaces, energy efficient facilities, recycling and waste management systems.

“This shows that Ideal Property Group is not only focusing on economic success, but also on the environment and social well-being,” he said in his speech during the Penang Technology Park@Bertam groundbreaking ceremony at Jalan Tun Hamdan Sheikh Tahir in Kepala Batas today.

Chow said the state has always emphasised the importance of sustaining a dynamic ecosystem.

“We now have sufficient industrial land to meet the needs of industry in the future, especially in Seberang Perai.

“We also acknowledge that incorporating tripartite Public-Private and People partnership plays a crucial role in paving the way to become a high-income economy,” he said.

On the investment front, Chow said Penang continues to fare well by clocking in RM14 billion in its approved manufacturing investments last year, representing 16% of the country’s total.

“We will not rest on our laurels, but strive for excellence to position Penang as a hub for advanced manufacturing,” he added.

Through the state’s investment arm InvestPenang, Chow said Penang has consistently attracted investments from afar.

Ideal Property Group executive chairman Tan Sri Datuk Alex Ooi said it was a milestone for the Group.

“We embark on an exciting new project to create a dynamic hub for talent, innovation and technology.

“This technology park is not only attracting foreign investments, but also from the local technology companies as well,” he said, estimating the value of gross domestic product (GDP) at around RM4.2 billion.

Ooi believes that the technology park would be the next vibrant satellite city for Penang.
