The construction work on the biggest sports centre in Seberang Perai known as Nibong Tebal Arena is expected to be completed on Feb 26, 2023.

State Youth and Sports Committee chairman Soon Lip Chee said the work on the project has already started on Aug 16 this year.

“As of now, the construction work of the 7,260sq m sports centre located at Taman Helang Jaya in Bukit Panchor is 3.8 percent complete.

“And since we can operate at full force now, we are confident of doing our best to ensure that the project is completed within the stipulated time,” Soon told a press conference during his visit to the site today.

Also present were Jawi assemblyman Jason H’ng Mooi Lye and Penang State Sports Council (MSNPP) director Harry Chai Heng Hua.

According to Soon, the RM8.78mil sports centre will be equipped with nine badminton courts and a multi-purpose hall.

“However, the badminton courts also can be converted for the use of other sports like netball, volleyball, silat, sepak takraw, table tennis (ping pong), karate, wushu and many others.

“So, it does not necessarily have to be a badminton court, but, we can change it when hosting a certain sports competition.

“There are also 900 units of retractable seating (also known as telescopic seating) for spectators and other state-of-the-art facilities.

“Meanwhile for the multi-purpose hall, it has facilities such as a ballroom which can accommodate a total of 170 tables and a stage. There are 76 parking lots for cars and 30 lots for motorcycles and many more,” he added.

Soon said once the Nibong Tebal Arena is completed, the sports centre will play an important role to stimulate the economy and sports activities in Seberang Perai and its surrounding areas.

“So, apart from holding a national level sports competition at the centre, the public also can use the multi-purpose hall to organise wedding receptions, meetings, conferences and exhibitions.

“Thus, this project will bring huge benefits to the Seberang Perai community through the accommodations and infrastructure provided,” he said.

Meanwhile, Chai thanked the state government for the much needed sports centre in south Seberang Perai (SPS) district.

“Once the project is completed, the MSNPP will use the sports centre to organise many programmes to find new talents in badminton through collaboration with schools in the SPS district,” he said.

Three Penang-based large local companies (LLC) are reinvesting RM520 million through expansion projects in the Batu Kawan Industrial Park, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow announced today.

He said the three companies, in the equipment manufacturing supply chain, are collectively taking up 35 acres of land in Batu Kawan Industrial Park for their respective expansion projects,

“All three projects are slated to commence in the first quarter of next year and are expected to create up to 1,300 new job opportunities for locals,” he said in a press conference announcing the investments at Penang Development Corporation (PDC) this morning.

Chow said the LLCs and small-medium enterprises (SMEs) have been critical in promoting the growth of the manufacturing and electronics (M&E) sector in the state.

“Penang now has a comprehensive supply chain in the M&E and automation domains, which is led by local companies with a diverse range of core competencies such as Greatech, Pentamaster and UWC,” he said.

The three LLCs that are expanding in the Batu Kawan Industrial Park are Greatech Technology Berhad, Pentamaster Corporation Berhad and UWC Berhad.

According to Greatech board chairman Ooi Hooi Kiang, their new RM150 million facility will cover an area of 265,000 sq ft and will house high-value designing and assembly activities for new products.

“We target to complete the construction by the third quarter of 2022 and the new facility will create 500 new jobs, of which, 300 will be engineers and the remaining 200 will be assembly workers and machinists,” she said.

She said once the new facility is fully completed, the company will hire up to 1,300 new employees in total.

As for Pentamaster, its executive chairman Chuah Choon Bin said the new facility will be the company’s third plant in Penang.

“With a RM120 million investment, this 500,000 sq ft facility will create 300 job opportunities for engineers and bring our total built-up area of all our facilities to 750,000 sq ft,” he said.

Meanwhile, UWC executive director and group chief executive officer Datuk Ng Chai Eng said UWC will be investing RM200 million into the expansion project over the next three years.

“This expansion will create 300 engineering positions and 200 technician positions for local talents,” he said.

Chow said the reinvestments by the three LLCs underlined the continued confidence of both domestic and international investors in Penang.

“Penang not only has a solid reputation as a preferred location for MNCs, but it is also known as an entrepreneurial state that provides a conducive environment for homegrown companies to scale and thrive,” he said.

He said the LLCs in Penang have seen tremendous growth over the past five years.

He said Penang’s domestic direct investment climbed to a decade high of RM3.6 billion in 2020, which is 25 per cent of the state’s total direct investment.

“In the first half of 2021, local companies contributed RM700 million of direct investments, equivalent to 54 per cent of the total direct investments in Penang,” he said.

EcoWorld’s latest campaign focuses on its unique co-creation concept. Despite their familiarity with the concept of co-creation prior to this, it was only formalised in 2019 when they began exploring the idea of constructing homes for all generations.

As their vision suggests, EcoWorld is always committed to guide its customers one step at a time to co-create the lifestyle, business and community that fulfill their aspirations in order to create tomorrow and beyond. After all, it’s not just about building homes or spaces, it’s about completing lifestyles as well as nurturing thriving and sustainable communities.

EcoWorld’s homes and spaces are specially designed to satisfy the various needs and demands of modern living. Regardless of generation, owning a home in EcoWorld is equivalent to owning a dream home. Apart from your practical needs and aspirations which are flawlessly incorporated into the building of your home, you will also be the co-creator to craft your dream lifestyle.

Based on EcoWorld’s in-depth analysis of current property buying trends and consumer insights, they discovered gaps in certain product offerings. For instance, there is a lack of property listings in the market catering to first-time homebuyers and young families as well as families who want to live within close proximity with each other but not under the same roof. Thus, the creation of Co-Home and ErgoHomes to address those concerns.

Applying the revolutionary idea of hybrid landed living concept, Co-home is a hybrid single floor living concept, where you can choose to purchase either an upper floor unit or a ground floor unit. By introducing Co-Home, EcoWorld is able to provide aspiring homebuyers with a landed living lifestyle that is relatively more affordable. Apart from that, this concept also allows different generations to reside in close proximity to each other but still enjoy their privacy.

Taking inspiration from the science of ergonomics, ErgoHomes is the innovative idea that showcases the objective of ‘communal sprit meets efficient space planning’. Contrary to the conventional layout of terraced homes, each unit is designed to be a corner unit because of its unique placement and hence, enabling landed property to be equally spacious and affordable simultaneously.

Coupled with attractive pricing, these unique concepts and ideas are more appealing to first-time homebuyers and young families.

Apart from those products mentioned, there is also the Garden Homes which feature an innovative home unit that allows you to enjoy the best of indoor and outdoor living lifestyles. Situated within the Eco Grandeur township, each Garden Home comes with a 5-feet side garden* which can be converted into a mini zen garden or recreational spot. Besides that, there is also the option of a Garden Home at Eco Botanic which boasts a spacious 10-feet lifestyle porch* that offers you stunning views of both the front and back gardens. You can set up your very own indoor WFH space, entertainment area, kids’ play area or even an alfresco BBQ and dining spot! What’s even better is the 20 to 30-feet wide Backlane Garden* where kids can get to enjoy their leisure time in the outdoors safely in the absence of motor vehicles.

Garden Homes are now available at Eco Grandeur @ Klang Valley and Eco Botanic @ Iskandar Malaysia. Get in touch with Eco Grandeur’s Sales Representative or Eco Botanic’s Sales Representative for further enquiries.
