The 40th Annual General Meeting of the 

Building Materials Distributors Association of 

Malaysia (BMDAM) convened on 27th July at its 

premises with incumbent President, Yang Kian 

Lock (of Sudut Swasta Sdn Bhd) in the chair. 

In reviewing the association’s activities over the past year, the 

President remarked that BMDAM continues to be an entity that 

government agencies (MIDA, CIDB, MITI, SIRIM, JKR) recognise and 

dialogue with by virtue of the close interaction and rapport between the 

two. The association is represented at international conferences such as 

MIDA’s Specialised Building Materials Supply Chain Conference 2017 and 

in the Malaysian Service Providers Confederation (MSPC). 

These and other events offer exposure and raise awareness of 

BMDAM members as to the future of the building and construction 

industry. Yang Kian Lock shares his insights on shaping BMDAM’s journey 

on page 22. 

Also highlighted in this issue is the story on the 9th International 

Conference on World Class Sustainable Cities 2017 (WCSC 2017) that 

was held on August 10th in Kuala Lumpur. Jointly organised by the Real 

Estate and Housing Developers’ Association Wilayah Persekutuan KL 

(Rehda KL), the Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP) and the Malaysian 

Institute of Architects (PAM) and endorsed and supported by Kuala 

Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), the conference addressed and reflected on the 

current and future urban challenges faced in meeting the demands of an 

ever-increasing populous nation. 

In the Malaysian context and in Kuala Lumpur, an estimated 

population of 1.73 million already live, work and play in the nation’s 

capital. Greater Kuala Lumpur, which has grown by 6.1% in the last year, 

records a population of 7.3 million. (Source: UN World Urbanization Prospects). 

WCSC 2017, themed “Transforming Cities: Design, Nature & Human 

Lives”, called upon speakers from across the world to offer their ideas 

and solutions in order to plan for a better and sustainable quality of city 

life. 

A Photography Competition was also held in conjunction to capture 

the people, the lives, the places and the opportunities that Malaysians 

living in cities have or DO NOT HAVE. The story on WCSC 2017 kickstarts 

this issue.

BMDAM 40th ANNUAL 

GENERAL MEETING 

The 40th Annual General Meeting of the Building Materials 

Distributors Association Malaysia (BMDAM) convened on 27th 

July at its premises with incumbent President, Yang Kian Lock 

(Sudut Swasta Sdn Bhd) in the chair. 

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS 

In reviewing the Association’s activities over the past year, the 

President remarked that BMDAM continues to be an entity that 

government agencies (MIDA, CIDB, MITI, SIRIM, JKR) recognise 

and dialogue with by virtue of the close interaction and rapport 

between the two. By invitation, the Association is represented 

at international conferences such as MIDA’s Specialised Building 

Materials Supply Chain Conference 2017 and in the Malaysian 

Service Providers Confederation (MSPC). 

These and other events offer exposure and raise awareness 

of BMDAM members as to the future of the building construction 

industry and of trends and changes, such as Akta 520 and 

implementation of IBS which could become mandatory in two 

to three years. “Training,” he remarked, “is vital for future 

development.” 

To this end, BMDAM has and will continue to organise 

sessions on specific subjects such as accounting and credit 

management as well as opportunities for fairs and exhibitions, 

networking, business-matching, topical seminars and workshops. 

The 2016 launch of its Facebook page, for example, is aimed at 

expanding BMDAM’s reach to its members, and the public alike, 

to facilitate the sharing of information and market updates. It is 

a vehicle for members to get involved with and staying abreast 

of the market. Be that as it may, the President reiterated his call, 

from the year before, for increased membership so to ensure the 

Association’s continued well-being and growth, 

Merit Prize 

Winner: Ling Lai Kwan

FINANCIAL REPORT 

Revenue from data services rendered to Master Builders 

Association Malaysia (MBAM), and funds generated from various 

projects such as the Annual Golf Tournament, and Annual Dinner 

have put BMDAM on a sound financial footing for the period 

ending December 2016. Nevertheless, without inconvenience 

to members, the Association will be diligent in expenditure and, 

whenever possible, take opportunity to cut costs, like using 

BMDAM’s premises for seminars, workshop, etc as opposed to 

renting third-party locations.

On a global scale, there is no let-up in the 

pace of urbanisation as people continue 

to migrate from rural areas into cities and 

towns – the centres of economic growth 

– in search of a better life. The United 

Nations World Urbanisation Prospects 

predicts that over the next 13 years, to 

2030, cities of the world, more in the case of 

developed economies, will be absorbing about 1.1 billion new urbanites. The connotations 

of unprecedented growth in urban population, more a phenomenon than an unpredictable 

event, are that governments will need to “re-invent themselves and re-think policies”, to put 

in place the right strategies and actions to meet the needs and expectations of its citizenry 

and provide a sustainable quality of life. 

Solutions to these challenges will lie in “innovation, entrepreneurship and social 

dynamism” in providing efficient asset, energy and waste management, transportation 

network, ,social amenities, economic opportunities, accessibility to housing, security and 

so on, whilst keeping tabs on carbon footprint and care for the environment. It would entail 

and involve the participation of government agencies, city and town planners, academics, 

architects, developers, engineers, residents’ associations and the public at large. 

WCSC 2017 

The Malaysian scenario – as of 2010, 71% of the population 

already live, work and play in cities and towns and it is 

predicted that by 2050 the percentage will swell to 80% 

or 27.3 million people. Also, as of 2016, an estimated 

population of 1.73 million reside in the nation’s capital 

with the Greater Kuala Lumpur (Klang Valley) registering 

Stuart Mendel. 

7.3 million. Against this backdrop, the 9th edition of the 

International World Class Sustainable Cities (WCSC) Conference 2017 convened in Kuala 

Lumpur; themed ‘TRANSFORMING CITIES: DESIGN, NATURE & HUMAN LIVES’ and addressed 

three dimensions in contending with current and future challenges and demands of an everincreasing 

urban population. 

Esteemed international speakers featured at WCSC 2017 who shared on best practices 

and case studies from other world-class cities: 

• “Integrating Nature to Make Cities Resilient and Liveable” by Tina Saaby Madsen, Chief 

City Architect, Municipality of Copenhagen, Denmark; 

• “TRX Lifestyle Quarter: Charting a sustainable path forward”: by Stuart Mendel, 

Managing Director, Tun Razak Exchange Lifestyle Quarter, Landlease, Malaysia; 

• “Urban Risks and Well-Being in Japanese Cities: Lessons Learnt in CXity and Building 

Design” by Takayuki Kubo, Architect and Senior Researcher of the Fukuoka Asian Urban 

Research Centre, Fukuoka, Japan; and 

• “8-80 Cities: Designing Cities for Children and the Elderly” by Gil Penalosa, Director and 

Chair of the Board, 8-80 Cities, Toronto, Canada. 

(Note: WCSC 2017 is jointly organized by Real Estate & Housing Developers’ Association Malaysia Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur 

(REHDA KL), the Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP) and the Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM) and the agenda includes a Special 

Presentation by the Young Peoples’ Lab and a photography contest.) 

The Photography Competition held in conjunction with WCSC 2017, was aimed at capturing the people, 

the lives, the places and the opportunities that Malaysians living in cities have, or do not have. The

Jack Nicklaus and son draw 

blueprint for golf courses 

in Forest City 

At the forum themed “Development of Emerging Tourism in the Iskandar Development 

Region of Malaysia” held at the Seashell International Club in Forest City in June − the largescale 

residential development project being undertaken by Chinese property developer

Garden’s Forest City is well on its way to becoming a new landmark for sports and leisure. 

Iskandar Regional Development Authority chief executive Ismail Ibrahim and Johor Golf 

Tourism Association president Colonel Mohammed Jamal Salleh, along with Jack Nicklaus 

and son, were among the keynote speakers. They were joined a large number of golf and 

travel enthusiasts from Singapore and Malaysia at the event. 

Forest City Phase Two project encompasses an area of over 8sq km. The first course, 

among the three 18-hole golf courses planned in Forest City, was jointly designed by Jack 

Nicklaus and his eldest son Jack Nicklaus II. 

Jack William Nicklaus (Jack Nicklaus II), one of the most lauded professional golf players

Country Garden unveils new logo on 

company’s 25th anniversary 

The new design retains the “phoenix” motif from the previous logo and mainly consists of three colours − 

orange, royal blue and golden yellow. However, the design of its edges has been simplified, and with the 

colour of its neck, coronet and tail brightened up, the “phoenix” looks more vibrant, better reflecting the robust growth of the company. 

Mo Bin Chief Executive Officer. 

A NEW ERA 

In addition to marking a significant anniversary, the release of a new logo signals that the company is 

entering a new era, driven by rapid growth and successful expansion into new markets. Some recent 

achievements include: 

• Construction of the 20sq km (4,900 acres) smart-eco Forest City in Malaysia’s Iskandar Development 

Region, which lies adjacent to Singapore. 

• Won contracted sales in 2016 of more than 308.84 billion yuan (around US$45 billion), which 

resulted in the company being ranked 273rd on Forbes’ 2017 global 2,000 list of the world’s biggest 

public companies. This is a jump of 171 spots from last year’s ranking and placed Country Garden 

among the top-listed real estate developers together with China Vanke, Brookfield Property Partners 

and Sun Hung Kai Properties. 

• Through the first five months of 2017, Country Garden has achieved RMB244.22 billion (US$35.7 

billion) in contracted sales and 27.27 million sq m (293 million sq ft) in sold Gross Floor Area (GFA). 

The positive results allowed the company to maintain its world-leading position in this key indicator. 

• This year the company aims to achieve sales of 400 billion yuan (approx US$58 billion) and has set a 

budget of 150 billion yuan (approx US$ 21.9 billion) for new land acquisitions. 

• Country Garden is also implementing community construction practices and concepts in Australia 

and Indonesia, and plans to extend its footprints further to other markets, including India, Thailand, 

Vietnam, as well as the United Kingdom and Russia.

Boost to Malaysia-China economic 

ties under Belt and Road Initiative 

First mooted in September/October 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is 

China’s grand strategy to create transnational economic cooperation on a global scale, 

traversing 69 countries in East, West and Central Asia, the African continent and Europe. 

As envisioned by Xi Jinping, President of People’s Republic of China, the BRI blueprint 

integrates two trade routes. 

1) Overland Silk Road Economic Belt, connecting China to Europe via Central Asia and 

Russia, China to the Middle East via Central Asia, and China to South and Southeast 

Asia, and; 

2) Sea passage along 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, linking China’s ocean ports to 

Europe via the South China Sea and Indian Ocean (through Straits of Malacca)and the 

South Pacific. 

Dato’ Lock Peng Kuan, Partner of Baker Tilly 

(Malaysia). 

Through “infrastructure connectivity and at enhancing trade flow 

and investment opportunities by reducing transnational transaction 

costs and barriers”, BRI focuses on: (a) Policy Coordination, (b) 

Infrastructural Connectivity, (c) Trade and Investment Enhancement, 

(d) Financial Integration, and (e) People-to-People Bond. 

BAKER TILLY MALAYSIA DESK LAUNCH 

Since its inception, Malaysia has been a supporter and one of 

the major beneficiaries of BRI, manifest in the slew of Chinese 

investments by state-owned enterprises and conglomerates such as 

Hua Wei, CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co KAJ Development 

(Melaka Gateway), China Rail Engineering Corporation (CREC) and 

the Alibaba Group. Yet another infrastructure project under BRI that 

would spur further development of our eastern coastal states is the 

RM55 billion East Coast Rail Link financed by and awarded to China. 

Malaysia, already an established trading partner of China (USD100 

billion in 2016) coupled with its open economy, is well-positioned to 

leverage on BRI. However, as Baker Tilly (Malaysia) Partner, Dato‘ Lock 

Peng Kuan remarked at the launch of its Malaysia desk, “while many are 

already eyeing opportunities to be part of the BRIU success story, not many 

local organisations and SMEs are clear about how they can jump on the 

bandwagon”; hence the launch of the Baker Tilly Belt and Road Desk – one of 

the first to be established in Malaysia. 

THE BAKER TILLY ADVANTAGE 

Manned by professionals with extensive experience and know-how of both 

Malaysian and Chinese markets, and working with network firms (Malaysia 

Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) and Ferrier Hodgson), the Desk is poised to facilitate 

trade and other business opportunities between the two countries, to connect and expand 

entrepreneurship under the BRI umbrella. 

With offices in 60 countries including China (network of 21 locations and manpower 

more than 3,000 strong), Baker Tilly is ‘fully geared’ to act as the preferred and trusted 

service provider for entry and participation in BRI, the new paradigm for international 

economic cooperation.

A 

combination of man-made splendour and natural beauty, Inwood 

Residences is part of IJM Land’s Pantai Sentral Park, a visionary township 

comprising seven residential phases and six commercial phases. 

Located within the 200-acre forest of Bukit Kerinchi which is home to 

hundreds of birds, small wildlife and rainforest plants and flowers − the 

fully integrated development, envisioned as Kuala Lumpur’s one and only 

urban forest city − is expected to be completed within 10 to 15 years. Upon 

completion, Pantai Sentral Park will boast modern facilities and conveniences, with some 

15,000 residents calling it home. 

Inwood Residences is the first of the 58-acre Pantai Sentral Park development that will be 

ready in 2018, with Secoya Residences following suit in 2019. Inwood’s residential tower built 

over 3.02 acres of prime real estate has 211 luxurious units spread over 38 floors, with eight 

versatile layouts measuring from 1125sq ft to 1965sq ft on each level to choose from. 

Each Inwood unit is oriented either in the north, with city or garden views or the south, in 

the direction of the forest and pool. Providing a blissful view no matter which unit is chosen, each and every living space is designed 

with a shallow floor plate to boost natural lighting into its living space, in addition to good ventilation in the spacious apartments. 

Focusing on Pantai Sentral Park’s core values of People, Planet & Priority, IJM Land has ensured residents are equipped with firstclass 

facilities and modern amenities, including 24-hour security, children’s playground, infinity pool, a sunken sundeck and jacuzzi. 

Inwood Residences is the ideal choice of property for those looking for a comfortable, contemporary home or for those looking to 

invest in a property which boasts a strategic location, good rental prospects and a high property value.

“Let’s go Keyless” 

- A roaring success at Archidex 2017 

St Guchi Malaysia’s thematic campaign for its digital door lock 

(DDL) category ‘Let’s Go Keyless’ received an overwhelmingly 

positive response from customers, partners and participants 

at the recently concluded Archidex 2017, held at the Kuala 

Lumpur Convention Centre from 19-22 July. 

St Guchi is one of the key brands of Teamware, the market 

leader in locks and hardware in the Malaysian market joined 

the ASSA ABLOY Group in 2015. 

Archidex is South-East Asia’s leading industry trade event 

and this year marks its 18th edition and showcased more than 

1,200 booths by 550 local and international exhibitors. 

St Guchi has been participating in Archidex since 2009, 

making 2017 the eighth year of the local team’s participation. 

This year, St Guchi has showcased its latest digital door locks, 

mechanical locks, aluminium & glass as well as its fire rated 

door at the Archidex. 

DDL CATEGORY: UNLOCKING GROWTH POTENTIAL 

The simple and modern booth design, coupled with a strong theme and clear messaging, 

drew thousands to experience for themselves the various DDL demo kits – many of 

whom were impressed with the product’s keyless convenience and biometric fingerprint 

technology. 

Newly appointed General Manager Francis Chang expressed his optimism concerning 

DDL’s potential growth opportunities and firmly believes that ‘Let’s Go Keyless’ will be the 

company’s springboard for success in 2017 and 2018. 

“The DDL category is currently in its infancy with a significant opportunity for growth 

potential given the vastly untapped market in Malaysia. As most users still use mechanical 

locks, our strategy is to build upon St Guchi’s brand reputation and dealer network strength 

to collectively increase brand awareness and market share,” he said. 

“With the proliferation of the Internet of Everything and Home Automation 

phenomena, we believe more and more customers will begin to make the transition to DDL 

– be it in retail or amongst commercial project developers,” he added.

Exhibitions Bureau and the Malaysia Green Building 

Confederation. 

The exhibition attracted 36,000 visitors, including 

architects, interior designers and building industry players 

who came together to connect and collaborate. It is believed a 

total of MYR 1 billion (~USD 0.23 billion) worth of transactions 

took place during those four days. 

Through the distribution of booklets and demos, the 

Malaysia team was able to obtain an impressive 400 new 

customer leads for the DDL category, capping off a great start 

to the ‘Let’s go Keyless’ campaign. 

The team was also able to raise the profile and awareness 

of St Guchi and ASSA ABLOY by having the ASSA ABLOY 

endorsement at the booth and in all promotional materials. 

THE BEST IS YET TO COME 

The campaign’s success at Archidex is only the beginning of great plans for St Guchi DDL, of 

which Francis hopes to extend to other St Guchi product categories as well. 

“While St Guchi remains one of the most recognisable brands in Malaysia, we aspire to 

be the market leader in all product categories and not just DDL. We will accomplish this by 

improving overall operational efficiency across our supply chain, inventory management 

and sales and marketing. We will also explore modern, creative methods to engage 

meaningfully with our stakeholders,” he said. 

Francis believes that St Guchi’s eventual success lies not only in output but through 

cultivating a culture of excellence across the entire workforce. 

“While we want to achieve strong profitability, it also matters how we arrive at these 

results. It is important that we as a team develop a strong sense of ownership in delivering 

quality products and services, whether to customers, dealers or suppliers. This shall be our 

unique competitive differentiator,” he concluded.

The pivotal moment in terms of design came when RCR in 

 

 

ENIGMA truly is full of surprises the architects say: “We like the idea that it is an Enigma, which is difficult to explain. It is an enveloping space that melts, 

disappears, almost a labyrinth. Between materiality and conformation, a whole series of organic movements are created. Shadows, transparencies, and a 

watery presence, nebular.” 


The architects wanted every 

slab to be of irregular texture 

like Neolith’s Riverwashed, but 

with a subtle shine to provide a 

surface that is multisensory.

challenge.

producing a perfect replica of the drawing.

hues for sintered surfaces. The intensity of the colours had to 

 

 

diners. Using 

technology NDD (Neolith Digital Design), the architect’s design 

brief was fully met.

size. Each slab is unique and had to be perfectly put together in

METEOR CINEMA 

GUANGZHOU, CHINA 

Hong Kong-based design firm – One Plus Partnership – draws parallels between the 

observation of meteors and film production for a two-storey cinema found within a 

shopping mall in Guangzhou, China. 

The lobby features long rectangular-cuboid decorations from the ceiling to 

mimick a meteor shower streaking through the sky.

The columns are also slanted to align with the concept. 


Meteor Cinema is a two-storey cinema 

located in a shopping mall in Guangzhou. 

 

where a bright trail of light appears in 

the night sky when a meteoroid enters 

 

scene only appears in the sky for a 

very brief moment, and then vanishes without leaving any trace 

behind. 

 

takes years to be completed; it is comprised of the hard work of a 

big team of people. 

The designers – Hong Kong’s celebrated One Plus Partnership 

 

design awards in the USA, Germany, Italy, UK and Japan for 

projects including cinemas, restaurants, retail stores, club houses, 

 

through the design of this cinema. Their design concept was 

geared towards reminding the audience of the passion and 

 

enjoyment. 

In order to capture the movement of a meteor shower, the 

designers constructed scenes in the midst of a meteor shower in 

 

METEOR SHOWERS EVERYWHERE 

 

 

through the sky. To enhance the three-dimensional vibrant 

 

 

cuboids both on the computer and on set, to ensure that every 

 

To create a sense of movement, the edges of the cuboids are 

slightly slanted. The meteor shower looks as if it is falling very 

 

 

in real life. 


The entire interior sports the grounded colour of earth. 


Inside each auditorium, the designers created different portrayals 

of meteor showers, enabling the audience to have different 

experiences when they watch movies in different auditoriums. 




As you go up to the second floor by the escalator, it will seem as 

if the meteor shower is getting closer and closer to you. 


The edges of the cuboids have been slightly slanted to create a dramatic 

contrast with the fact that they are actually frozen and motionless in real life. 


EARTH COLOUR SCHEME 

The designers adopted an earth colour scheme to create an elegant atmosphere. Instead 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notice the slanted walls? Apart from the signage 

and tiles, the walls too are slanted to match with 

the massive ceiling decoration.

which look as if they are growing from the ground. The designers used this shape to 

 

 

audience, a unique portrayal of a meteor shower can be found in each auditorium. For 

 

the audience to lie down and enjoy the meteor shower before the movie starts. 

Through the design of Meteor Cinema, the designers have captured the short-lived 

 

 

harmonious and elegant fashion.

ENTOPIA 

VOICES OF NATURE 

IN HARMONY 

Entopia by Penang Butterfly Farm is the quintessential 

architecture that represents the symbiosis between 

nature and the built form. It is Penang’s Nature Learning 

Destination where outdoor gardens invite butterflies 

and insects to come out to play, and an indoor discovery 

centre. Entopia recently won the PAM Silver Award 2017 

for Architectural Excellence in the Commercial Low Rise 

category. 


Green wall wraps around 

interior spaces with full 

glass wall allowing nature 

to be part of the built 

environment, while the 

built environment in turn 

embraces nature. 

Within Entopia lies two worlds: The Natureland living 

outdoor gardens and The Cocoon indoor discovery

The Natureland is a living garden vivarium. 

It is a shared ecological space for a variety of 

animal species from invertebrates to small 

reptiles living in their re-created natural 

habitat. 

This is the largest butterfly and dragonfly 

garden in Malaysia with more 15,000 freeflying 

butterflies at any one time. 

The living garden features more than 200 

species of plants with waterfalls, ponds, caves 

and other artistic garden features.
