EDITOR'S NOTE 

Participating in sports is about more than just staying in shape. It assists us in developing and enhancing our 

confidence levels. Furthermore, being physically active can protect us against ailments such as arthritis, heart disease, 

and diabetes. Golf is one of the recommended sports in this Covid-19 era, says our cover personality, KP Low. “Golf is a 

sport with natural social distancing measures as the course is spread out over hundreds of acres. Out of the four to five 

hours playing golf, probably more than 90 percent is spent at least two metres away from your flightmates,” explains 

the co-founder and MD of MST Golf. Speaking of fitness, we’ve got it all covered for you. Check out write-ups on Easy 

Fitness Hacks, Smart Sports Gadgets, healthy meals at Tropicana Gardens Mall and Tropicana Avenue, and more! 

To mark World Environment Day on June 5, we focus on some of the world’s greenest golf courses, including Tropicana 

Golf & Country Resort, as well as Tropicana’s sustainability commitments and innovative approaches to eco-friendly 

township development. Our Genting Highlands Special is this edition’s highlight. Come on a Genting Highlands trip with 

us and experience life at the peak. Tropicana WindCity is a new mega development for the highlands by Tropicana. 

It will include Tropicana Grandhill, Tropicana Paradise, and Tropicana Avalon, all of which feature novel lifestyle 

components.

BRINGING NATURE 

INDOORS 

Indoor plants are a great way to add a touch of nature to your 

living space while making the air in your home healthier

TROPICANA MAGAZINE 

Located at Tropicana Gardens Mall, Plant Meets Art is a plant shop that 

combines elements of art into its bouquet creations. Using flowers, stems, 

moss and roots; incorporated with visual components such as colour, form, 

line, shape and texture - which form the “art” element - this shop specialises 

in living creations. Plant Meets Art director, Linda Hooi says, “We sell green 

bouquets, terrariums, pots, vases, and a small collection of home décor. We 

also provide services like customised bouquets, indoor landscapes and office 

decorating.” Hooi chooses plants that are easy to care for, with a preference 

for low-light plants and those that are drought-tolerant. In creating a visually 

appealing home with plants, Hooi believes that aesthetics play a crucial 

role in evoking feelings of tranquility, adding that other elements in the 

space must also be in perfect harmony. Aside from aesthetics, plant health 

is also important. According to Hooi, a happy and thriving plant will evoke 

that tranquil feeling in any space. For decorating ideas, Hooi suggest using 

standalone plants. An individual potted plant that is big enough can make a 

statement and become a major feature, whether it is on the table or on the 

floor. A tall fiddle leaf plant can be placed on a stand next to the television 

cabinet, or a money plant placed individually on the kitchen table. Grouping 

plants in odd numbers of three or five will lend a more casual look. For a 

natural looking arrangement, group plants with differing heights.

“SJIIM has an 

Environmental 

Club, and one of 

the most important 

things they've done is ensure that the 

air conditioners throughout the school 

are kept above 23ºC. I believe that this 

instils the idea of being conscious of how 

destructive air conditioners are to the 

environment. It also ensures that we are 

not emitting unnecessary toxic gases into 

the environment, that an exceedingly low 

air-conditioning temperature would do.”

“When I go grocery 

shopping, I bring a 

tote bag with me so 

that I don’t have to use plastic bags. In

(both paper and plastic) because I believe 

they are unnecessary, and I do not want to 

needlessly waste materials.”

encourage everyone to 

bring their own cutlery, and not use plastic 

cutlery at lunch. We also ran a campaign 

to teach people how to prevent plastic 

from entering the ocean and harming 

marine life. Because paper comes from 

trees, teachers also encourage us to use 

both sides of the paper to limit our

kids, and I feel safer even if I am staying alone. There is 

a Central Park with a futsal court, basketball court and 

playground nearby. My children will definitely love it. 

Woon Gie & Foot Keong 

I personally feel that the landscape is perfect. I like the 

environment because it’s surrounded by trees, and there 

is a playground inside Lakefield Residences as well. So I 

think it's perfect for myself because I like jogging.

CALL TO BOOST 

BLOOD BANK SUPPLY 

Did you know? Every 43 seconds, one bag of blood is needed to 

save a patient's life? 

Right now, the National Blood Centre's supply is critically low 

and help is much needed. In answering the government’s call to 

replenish the centre's stock, Tropicana Foundation organised a 

Blood Donation Drive at the Tropicana Experiential Hall in Tropicana 

Gardens Office Tower. The campaign held on 23 March 2022 was 

open to all staff and the response was heartening. Close to 50 

Tropicana staff came forward for this good cause. It was definitely 

inspiring to see these wonderful individuals stepping up to do their 

part for a very good cause as the pandemic has made it difficult for 

willing donors to come out and donate.

either a lake or a park from their bungalow-style living façade. Each unit 

features a flexible floor plan for large families, with bedrooms with ensuite 

baths and junior suite configurations for each room. Additionally, 

the covered area is large enough to accommodate three cars side by 

side. The main entrance door is also accessible to the disabled and 

elderly. There are numerous openings to ensure that each unit receives 

as much natural light and ventilation as possible. Different-sized lots 

provide a variety of design options for each unit’s landscape work.

BENEFITS OF BENTONG 

GINGER 

Bentong ginger can be used for many things, from 

improving health to enhancing food flavour 

If you mention Bentong, a sleepy district in Pahang, there’s a good chance that the word 

ginger will come up in conversation. Within the district is a small town called Bukit Tinggi, 

famous for its rhizome, which is more aromatic, spicy, and pricey than regular ginger. Due 

to its high quality and demand, Bentong Ginger, as it is called, is the most popular ginger in 

Malaysia. Farmers who practise commercial agriculture have been planting this ginger on the 

hilly slopes of Bukit Tinggi for over a century. Apparently, early migrants from Southern China 

brought ginger with them because they used it extensively in their cooking. Interestingly, they 

discovered that ginger grew better in Bukit Tinggi than it did back in their homeland! 

As a result of the clean, fresh air and fertile soil that the temperate region is blessed with, 

Bentong ginger is rich in nutrients such as gingerol, which has medicinal benefits. It can aid 

in the relief of nausea, and vomiting. Bentong ginger can also help prevent colds, control 

cholesterol, and treat respiratory conditions. It has a thinner skin and can be consumed 

immediately after cleaning. What’s more, Bentong ginger retains its freshness for up to a month, 

whereas regular ginger begins to dry and shrink after one to two weeks. In the kitchen, ginger 

can be used in many ways. To flavour soups and rice, whole, unpeeled ginger is added to water 

and other cooking liquids. In some cuisines, pickled ginger is used as a condiment. Fried rice and 

stir-fries, meat marinades and glazes, and vinaigrettes all benefit from minced ginger.

• Bukit Tinggi, Bentong is 25.5 kilometres away from Tropicana Grandhill, Genting Highlands.

ECO-FRIENDLY 

GOLF COURSES 

Here are some renowned golf courses around the world that are 

embracing a greener future 

66 

TGCR all lit up


TROPICANA GOLF & COUNTRY RESORT (“TGCR”), MALAYSIA 

The beauty of TGCR is that its greenery has a positive impact on the 

environment while providing golfers with a breathtaking and natural 

landscape. The golf course takes pride in many other ways it contributes 

to environmental preservation. For example, a pond on the course is 

designed to attract dragonflies and serve as a mosquito biocontrol. 

Unlike chemical control, it is an eco-friendly solution to eliminate 

mosquitoes. Furthermore, the presence of dragonflies indicates that 

the water is clean and that the oxygen levels are stable. At 625 acres, 

TGCR also supports a diverse plant life that benefits the environment by 

absorbing and filtering rain, providing wildlife habitat, and reducing noise 

pollution. It’s no surprise that some migratory bird species that travel 

long distances from Siberia to Indonesia can be found here!

E-waste on wood coated with 2k matte

Computer circuit boards, among other e-waste, 

form part of this piece called After Pago Pago 1966


To mark World Environment 

Day on June 5, we present 

Nor Tijan Firdaus's artworks, 

which address environmental 

and consumerist issues. 

The 36-year-old, who 

holds a Master’s degree in 

Fine Art and Technology from Universiti Teknologi 

Mara (“UiTM”), has been incorporating leftover 

materials from electronic components into her 

art pieces in recent years. Many of her artworks, 

which merge sculpture and colour on canvas, 

have addressed questions of consumerism and 

mankind’s relationship with the environment in an 

oblique manner. Her striking and thought-provoking 

creations may possibly inspire us to believe that it 

is never too late to save our planet and that we will 

be able to stop further damage and begin to respect 

and repair it. According to Zena Khan, curator at 

AFK Collection in Kuala Lumpur where some of Nor 

Tijan’s artworks are available, the artist grounds her 

art in a research-based approach, which originates 

from her background in art academia. 

“At UiTM she pursued a Major in Sculpture and Minor 

in Painting, graduating with an Honours degree after 

mastering the technical complexities of creating art 

in these two genres. Understanding her ability to 

work well in both two and three-dimensional planes, 

her capacity to build the wall sculptures that have 

become her mainstay, with easily readable, relief-like 

surfaces, becomes clear. Her conceptual impetus 

has roots in her Master’s degree in Fine Art, where 

she became increasingly concerned with the effects 

of consumerism on sustainability and our everyday 

This artwork titled Just Scan It includes discarded 

computer and smartphone parts 

lives,” Zena explains. She adds that Nor Tijan had 

a young family at the time of her Masters and 

was aware of the quantity of rubbish she was 

suddenly amassing, compared to her life as a 

single woman.Commercialism concerns surfaced, 

including how we buy, replace, and update not 

only phones and computers, but also clothes, 

toys, and furniture. Most of them are designed 

objects, however sustainability was not a factor in 

their creation. 

Surrounded by these items, most of which 

were destined for the trash, Nor Tijan pondered 

if she could repurpose them as pieces of art. 

Reassessing post-consumer material intended to 

be waste immediately provided broader critical 

context to her practice. “Sifting through materials 

sourced from her own home, or purchased 

from friends, and recycling and waste plants, 

she generates commentary into sustainability, 

materialism and also post-formalism,” Zena 

elaborates. E-waste in particular, with its 

vivid colours and intricate details, provided 

a great starting point for her to create forms 

and aesthetics that speak about the Malaysian 

predicament while exploring new approaches to 

sculpture and assemblage art.

ways to make a township eco-friendly 

75

MAY/JUNE 2022 SEASONS 

76


Tropicana takes pleasure in making every attempt 

to ensure that everyone obtains the best, not just in 

terms of design, materials, and cost, but also in terms 

of homeowner and environmental well-being. When 

it comes to the latter, one good example is Tropicana 

Heights, a sustainable township development in Kajang 

with a 16-acre Central Park and 750-metre linear lake. 

Tree transplantation is one of many environmentally 

friendly aspects of the development. Throughout 

Tropicana Heights, 400 mature khaya and 15 rain trees 

that were already on-site were replanted to support the 

current roadway system and land parcel development 

of individual precincts. 

The use of the original topography is also 

commendable. Tropicana had the option of levelling 

the land and starting over with a new concept, but 

by preserving the original topography, excavation 

and soil erosion were greatly reduced. The gentle 

valleys, relatively flat expanse of fairways, and existing 

central lake added a dimension to the landscapes that 

is distinctively Tropicana Heights - and honours the 

land for its original formation. Gross Pollutant Traps 

(“GPTs”) are also installed at various points throughout 

the development. These filters capture storm water 

pollution before it enters the waterways. GPTs catch 

the majority of litter and silt before it reaches any 

waterway. The contents of the GPTs are regularly 

emptied and disposed of in a landfill. 

The Tropicana Heights Clubhouse, as well as the 

Parkfield Residences Management Office and 

Multipurpose Hall, all have rainwater harvesting 

systems. Water collected from the roof is filtered 

into storage tanks to be used for the property’s 

landscaping needs. But the linear lake is without a 

doubt the largest rainwater harvesting system. As for 

the landscaping cuttings, they are taken to a compost 

heap and converted into fertiliser for the soil. This is 

distributed for use throughout the property to aid in 

the regeneration of the soil and vegetation growth. LED 

lights are installed throughout the park, main public 

buildings, and internal roadway. These energy-efficient 

lights will reduce the development’s overall power 

consumption over time, and provide significant savings 

in operational costs.

WITH KP LOW 

MST Golf co-founder and Managing Director, KP Low chats 

with us about the store at Tropicana Gardens Mall, and more 

79 

Tropicana: Can you tell us more about the MST Golf store at Tropicana Gardens Mall? 

Low: MST Golf at Tropicana Gardens Mall occupies about 36,000 square feet with a 45-metre 

frontage. There are four storefronts - MST Golf Super Store, MST Athleisure Wear, MST Golf 

Arena and Tee Box Restaurant & Bar, all internally connected. Additionally, Golf Lab is a 

state-of-the-art teaching and club-fitting facility where golfers can work on their swings with 

teaching pros or get custom-fitted by qualified fitters.

MAY/JUNE 2022 COVER STORY 

Tropicana: How different is it from other golf stores? 

Low: This store showcases MST Golf’s latest elevated retail 

concept, combining shopping, playing, learning, dining, and 

leisure to deliver a total consumer experience. For golfers, MST 

Golf Super Store houses the most complete selection across all 

product categories from global golf brands. And, regardless 

whether you’re a golfer or not, MST Athleisure Wear offers the 

latest collections from leading sports and high-street brands. 

Tropicana: What factors influenced the choice to open a MST 

Golf store at Tropicana Gardens Mall? 

Low: Location, location, location! It’s our anchor store in that 

area and is ideally located to serve our target consumers 

from a number of affluent and vibrant townships such as Kota 

Damansara, Mutiara Damansara, Damansara Perdana, Bandar 

Utama, and Taman Tun Dr Ismail. 

Tropicana: What are the advantages of having a store at 

Tropicana Gardens Mall? 

Low: It‘s easy for our customers to find us and convenient for 

them to get in and out of Tropicana Gardens Mall. The long 

frontage allows us to present multiple storefronts to attract 

different consumers, including non-golfers. 

80 

Tropicana: What would you recommend a potential customer 

purchase at the MST Golf store, Tropicana Gardens Mall? 

Low: They are many types of golfers, from beginners and 

social golfers to skilled players and professionals, so I would 

make recommendations based on their playing abilities and 

needs. From a technical standpoint, MST Golf Super Store is 

staffed with experienced golf consultants and qualified clubfitters 

who will be able to recommend the ideal equipment 

based on the customer’s physique, swing speed, ability and 

shot tendencies. For non-golfers, I would show them the latest 

athleisure wear collections which are made of performance 

fabrics for easy wear and care. 

Tropicana: As a golfer, what do you think of Tropicana Golf & 

Country Resort? 

Low: TGCR is one of the most prestigious golf clubs in Malaysia 

with a full range of golf, sports, recreational, and F&B facilities. 

The golf course is definitely one of the best maintained in 

the region. To me, it plays quite long, and the greens are 

very undulating and tricky. If you play to your handicap at 

Tropicana, then you are probably a “buaya” (an ace) at other 

courses! 

Tropicana: Would you by any chance own a Tropicana 

property? 

Low: Not yet! But I’m keeping an eye out for one.

Asics shoe in his living room in Kobe, 

Japan, under the Onitsuka Tiger name.

to the Onitsuka Tiger stripes, which have 

since come to represent the pinnacle of 

sporting excellence. As a lifestyle brand, 

the legend lives on today in the fusion 

of Japanese tradition and contemporary 

style. Onitsuka Tiger shoes, apparel, and

MAY/JUNE 2022 TRAILBLAZER 

WORKOUT 

IN STYLE 

When Posh meets Reebok you can 

expect an exceptionally functional 

and fashionable collection 

98


The latest Reebok and Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) collaboration on 

functional sportswear is guided by the principles of ease and adaptability. 

The most essential activewear is included in a high-performance wardrobe, 

and it is done in its purest form while remaining closely linked to the 

sporting and fashion worlds. “At the beginning of the design process I 

always start with one key piece that references a particular sport. Last 

season was all about the tennis dress whereas this collection sees the 

introduction of a wide-leg basketball warm-up trouser inspired by my 

travels to the US. 

“My vintage wardrobe also plays a big part in the look and feel of each 

capsule, the Reebok M65 Parka nods to one of my favourite jackets - we’ve 

cropped it, cut it to the waist and fitted it with wide pockets so it can be 

worn all day long,” explains Victoria. Feminine proportions are reworked, 

and silhouettes are cropped and boxy to emphasise the waist. The yarns 

in the seamless series are woven tighter for a more compact texture, 

twisting to allow for body movement while sculpting and supporting. 

The VB Cropped Hoody has also been updated with a jersey lining, which 

promises comfort and warmth during recovery.

Here’s a look at some of the most luxurious bicycles ever made

MAY/JUNE 2022 WHEELS 

THE TREK YOSHIMOTO NARA 

The Trek Yoshitomo Nara was introduced 

at an event co-hosted by Lance Armstrong 

and Nike with the goal of raising cancer 

awareness. Contemporary Japanese artist, 

Yoshitomo Nara customised the bicycle 

with a fun and quirky cartoon drawing 

of youngsters, as well as a Livestrong 

emblem. The vibrant-coloured twowheeler 

is a fantastic racing bicycle with a 

carbon fibre frame that is lightweight and 

allows for rapid speeds. 

THE LIMITED-EDITION CHROME 

HEARTS x CERVELO 

This bicycle was created in partnership 

with Cervélo, one of the world’s most 

prominent bicycle manufacturers. It 

features bespoke Chrome Hearts graphics, 

leather, precious metals, and rhinestones. 

Tagged in the five-figure range, it is 

undeniably a valuable, luxurious, and 

fascinating mode of transportation. 

104 

GOLDGENIE LUXURY BICYCLE 

This beautiful bicycle, designed by 

Goldgenie, a British luxury label, goes well 

beyond ordinary gold flecks. 24K gold is 

coated onto every part of the bike, from 

the curved handlebars to the gear chain, to 

make it shine in the sunlight. It comes with 

a soft San Marco black suede saddle and 

SR4 racing tyres, but clients who want to 

stand out even more can customise their 

saddle and handlebars with exotic skins 

and premium leathers. 

KONA 

Kona is a household name in the bicycle 

business. Established in 1988 in Vancouver, 

Canada, Kona bikes are sold in over 60 

countries worldwide and are made from 

materials such as carbon fibre, titanium, 

aluminium, and steel. The mountains of 

Vancouver inspired the firm to develop 

a line of freeride mountain bikes noted 

for their endurance and ability to handle 

difficult terrain.

PETS AS HEALERS 

Animals can help humans cope with and recover from a variety of 

physical and mental health issues 

Many physical and mental issues can be alleviated by 

interacting with a loving pet. Pet therapy, as it is called, 

is administered by a doctor or therapist overseeing the 

patient’s treatment, allowing individuals to interact with a 

trained animal in the presence of the animal’s caretaker or 

handler. 

The most common pets used in pet therapy are dogs 

and cats. Horses, guinea pigs, fish, and other animals 

that match the screening criteria may also be used. The 

type of animal chosen is determined by the therapeutic 

aims of the individual’s treatment plan. A pet therapy 

programme’s objectives may include enhancing motor 

skills and joint mobility, enhancing either assisted or 

independent movement, boosting self-esteem, increasing 

verbal communication, and enhancing social skills, among 

others. Other advantages of pet therapy is that it makes the 

individual happier and less depressed, promotes a positive 

mindset, and helps children learn empathic and nurturing 

skills. Apart from these, pet therapy can help lower blood 

pressure and improve cardiovascular health. It also has the 

ability to release endorphins, which have a relaxing effect. 

This can help to reduce pain, tension, and improve one’s 

general mental health.

As a responsible developer and pioneer of residential 

resort-style living, Tropicana consistently considers the link 

between residents and the environment in its landscape 

design. The township and individual residential parcels 

are designed by award-winning landscape architects. “The 

landscape concept for each parcel is uniquely tailored 

individually to create an identity of its own but still keeping 

the design DNA of Tropicana,” says Jimmy Khoo, Deputy 

GM, Planning & Design Department. Tropicana focuses on 

landscape design for each township to give enough green 

space to create Central Parks with lakes. “A park life full 

of greenery is the mainstay of life in all of our township 

development.” The Central Parks are created with the 

demands of the user demography in mind, as well as the 

existing landform of each township. The Central Parks at 

Tropicana Heights and Tropicana Aman, for example, are 

designed to closely resemble suburban green spaces that 

encourage and protect the natural ecosystem. 

“At Tropicana Aman Central Park, around 2,400 trees and 

palms have been planted, creating a warm and inviting 

setting. On top of these, we are also creating woodlands 

within the Central Park which contribute to another 4,000 

numbers of trees in sapling form,” says Jimmy. Composting 

is also a common practice with Tropicana Aman and 

Tropicana Heights landscape contractors. Non-woody green 

waste like leaves, grass clippings, weeds, and garden plant 

trimmings create excellent compost. In addition, Tropicana 

has been incorporating LED landscape lightings for recent 

developments. In comparison to traditional light bulbs, 

LEDs consume less energy. Residents may save money 

on monthly operation and management costs while also 

putting less strain on the energy grid. 

For high-rise developments, Tropicana creates vertical 

green spaces on building facades. Climbers are planted on 

the exteriors of Tropicana Grande and Tropicana Metropark 

Pandora Residences, which help to clean the air, decrease 

and regulate the temperature, and keep the environment 

healthy. At Tropicana Golf & Country Resort (“TGCR”), a 

pond was created to attract dragonflies and use them as 

a biocontrol for mosquitoes. Unlike chemical treatment, 

it is an eco-friendly solution to eliminate mosquitoes. 

Dragonflies also signal pure water and stable oxygen levels.

SALAD ATELIER 

Salad Atelier was founded on the principle of providing healthy

obesity and noncommunicable disease rates. Established in 

2014, Salad Atelier’s mission is to encourage people to go 

green with their food choices and to nourish themselves with 

real, unprocessed ingredients. It aspires to be the go-to spot 

for busy Malaysians and expats who are tired of food that is 

overly processed and seasoned. After six years in the F&B 

industry, Salad Atelier founders noticed that while Malaysians 

strive for a healthy lifestyle, many struggle to find a consistent 

supply of the perfect, healthy meal. As a result, salad packages 

with brown rice, and poke bowls are now available on its 

delivery platform, providing the community with a healthy 

meal solution. Its mission remains the same since its inception: 

to provide healthy food to everyone while also encouraging 

sustainable eating habits.
