Precious time with Amarald.Co’s So Shien Yong

65 th Merdeka Day

JULY/AUGUST 2022 EDITOR'S NOTE

EDITOR'S NOTE 

It is a fantastic thing to be aware that you have the 

freedom, capacity and power to choose what to 

do and how to live your life at any given moment. 

The freedom of choice is the most valuable thing 

that life can give us. For our cover personality, So 

Shien Yong, he decided to start his own company 

producing watch covers for the Apple Watch after 

realising that there were few choices for customising 

the device. Shien Yong is only 27 and he aspires to 

be the pioneer in the field of smart device upgrades 

and customisation. We believe that he will realise his 

dreams, including owning more Tropicana property, 

which he has wanted ever since he was a boy. If you 

put in the effort and have a burning desire to succeed, 

nothing will stand in your way. 

Speaking of success, Tropicana recently marked a 

significant milestone as it celebrated two momentous 

achievements - the unveiling of Tropicana WindCity 

in Genting Highlands and the improved T Privilege 

loyalty programme. Redefining the art of living for 

over 40 years, we’re happy to note that Tropicana’s 

brand equity continues to rise as it innovates and 

builds new developments for the benefit of Malaysian 

communities. Another accomplishment is Tropicana 

Golf & Country Resort’s (“TGCR”) pioneering use of 

dragonflies as a biocontrol mechanism is showing 

promising results! This issue also features fun and 

informative reads such as time-saving kitchen hacks, 

hair care tips, statement jewellery, the latest bags 

and shoes, the new Suzuki Swift Sport, delectable 

Malaysian specialties at TGCR and Tropicana Gardens 

Mall, and more. With that, we wish you the best of 

luck in your endeavours, and a joyful Merdeka!

“I’m originally from India and have lived in Malaysia for the 

past ten years. Malaysia is unlike any other country in that 

it is a melting pot of three main cultures. It lives true to its 

name, bringing together food, festivals and excitement from 

Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures to create a one-of-akind 

living experience. Because of the country’s multi-racial 

nature, one may easily feel at home any place they go; for 

example, when I’m in Brickfields, I feel like I’m back home 

in India! After growing up in Malaysia, immersing myself in 

the culture and making Malaysian friends, I actually feel very 

much at home here.” 

Nicolas Ambrosini Braz

“I was born in Brazil and have 

been living in Malaysia for over a 

year now. I love it here especially 

because it’s always sunny, which 

I appreciate. Temperatures in 

the southern part of Brazil are consistent, with hot summers 

and frigid winters, even though there is no snow. Malaysia 

appeals to me for a number of reasons, among which, is the 

abundance of beautiful islands to visit and explore.” 

Abigail Lee Xing Zi 

Age: 16

“Being a Malaysian there is an 

inexplicable feeling of selfattachment 

towards the nation 

and its people. The Malaysian 

sense of self-identity and 

belonging is solid. Plus, a patchwork of various customs, 

traditions and heritage co-exist to form the distinct 

Malaysian way of life, which can be found nowhere else. 

And, communities such as those present within SJIIM make 

Malaysia a comforting, welcoming and inclusive nation.”

TROPICANA AMAN 

CELEBRATES 

COMPLETION 

OF TRIANA 

SHOP-OFFICES 

Tropicana celebrated vacant possession (“VP”) for owners at Triana 

Shop-Offices in Tropicana Aman, the developer’s largest 863-acre 

self-contained township in Kota Kemuning. Enriching the commercial 

outlook of the development, the 18.4-acre hub features prime visibility 

and versatile, open layouts for flexible business arrangements in the new 

norm, with VP undertaken for 54% of its double and triple-storey shopoffices. 

Joanne Lee, Senior Managing Director of Marketing and Sales, 

shared more on the project’s value proposition, as well as Tropicana’s 

development DNA across its portfolio. 

“As Tropicana’s largest township to date, Tropicana Aman offers 

a promising business opportunity for owners and entrepreneurs, 

with a projected 30,000-strong population once complete. Triana 

Shop-Offices is ideally positioned to cater for this demand as well as 

footfall from surrounding areas, featuring easy access to the Shah Alam 

Expressway (KESAS), as well as ample pedestrian links. 

34 

In addition, it accommodates a wide range of commercial arrangements, 

including entertainment businesses. Triana Shop-Offices’ design is 

driven by Tropicana’s distinctive development DNA, particularly its focus 

on connectivity and generous open spaces, as we continue Redefining 

the Art of Living in all we do,” she said. 

Inviting passersby with wide shop frontages from 24’ to 35’ and built-ups 

3,360 sq ft to 6,771 sq ft, Triana Shop-Offices is suitable for a wide range 

of businesses, from vibrant new start-ups and co-working operators to 

established brands and franchises. Higher ceilings up to 12’ offer room to 

grow, while selected units feature double-volume spaces well-suited for 

dining and retail tenants. 

Triana Shop-Offices benefits from nearby amenities, including medical 

facilities such as Columbia Asia Hospital, hypermarkets like Aeon 

Big, and banks including Maybank, CIMB, and RHB. Those keen 

on joining the growing commercial hub can invest in Triana Shop-Offices by 

visiting tropicanaaman.com.my/LandingPageTriana or calling 1700 81 8868.


SUNNY LIM 

I purchased a Triana unit 

because I am planning 

to open a bakery for my 

daughter. I like Triana’s 

connectivity to main 

highways, as well as the 

ample parking available. 

Its wide entrances, 

abundance of natural light, 

and high-quality build and 

finishing are also good. 

SUZANNE CHAN (LEFT) 

As a first-time commercial 

buyer, I was drawn to the 

location fronting the main 

road, with the potential 

of a growing population 

and higher associated 

ROIs. The unit design, with 

high ceilings and spacious 

layouts, is also attractive. 

KINGSLEY TAN 

In the leasing business, 

it’s better to deal with 

commercial tenants, so 

Triana is a great investment. 

The clubhouse is nearby, 

with top accessibility to 

the mature township. 

Triana’s pillarless design is 

also convenient for many 

types of businesses.

TROPICANA TEAMS UP 

WITH HOSTASTAY 

36 

Tropicana has appointed the No 1 Short Stay 

Management Company in Malaysia – HostAStay 

Sdn Bhd (“HostAStay”) as its tenancy management 

service provider for TwinPines Serviced Suites in 

Tropicana Grandhill, Genting Highlands and Assana 

Serviced Suites in Tropicana Cenang, Langkawi. 

This collaboration synergises Tropicana’s high-value 

property portfolio in key tourism hotspots with 

HostAStay’s established track record for excellence 

in the short-term accommodation segment. The 

initiative is also set to drive hassle-free returns for 

Tropicana purchasers and homeowners. 

In addition, the move leverages on HostAStay’s 

exclusive partnership with Tujia, China’s largest 

homestay operator with over 1.4 million homes 

listed online. With a 100% year-on-year booking 

commitment to HostAStay, Tujia’s participation 

ensures steady footfall to properties under the 

platform’s purview, maximising rental growth as 

international borders reopen. Joanne Lee, Tropicana’s 

Senior Managing Director of Marketing & Sales 

division expressed her appreciation for the strategic 

partnership during the signing of Memorandum of 

Understanding (“MoU”) between the two at the 

Tropicana Experiential Hall, Tropicana Gardens 

Office Tower in Kota Damansara. “Throughout the 

years, Tropicana has built a reputation as one of 

the leading developers in Malaysia, Redefining the 

Art of Living through our unique development DNA 

as well as smart partnerships with many reputable 

corporations. Our strategic collaboration aims 

to bring value to homeowners and residents at 

Tropicana Grandhill and Tropicana Cenang. 

With HostAStay as a partner, we will deliver 

technology-enabled dynamic pricing for maximised 

rental returns, round-the-clock concierge, cleaning 

and maintenance services, and much more. These 

features will further enhance guest and resident 

satisfaction, facilitating value appreciation in the 

long-term,” she said. “As a globetrotter and believer 

in Humanising Technology, I foresee a worldwide 

rise in homestay and tourism arrivals as pent-up 

demand reasserts itself,” said Jordan Oon, Founder 

and CEO of HostAStay.

RIUH RAYA WITH TROPICANA 

AND OHBULAN! 

Tropicana teamed up with OhBulan! to bring festive 

cheer to more than 160 children at Pusat Jagaan 

Cahaya Kasih Bestari, Shah Alam during Ramadhan 

recently. As seen in the festive short Tropicana 

Warnai Aidilfitri Dengan Mendefinisi Semula Seni 

Kehidupan Mereka, the charitable endeavour saw 

the donation of essentials, footwear, and books to 

the orphanage. In compliance with SOP, 20 children 

from the home were invited for a fun day of shopping 

and exciting activities at Tropicana Gardens Mall 

and the Tropicana Heights Central Park, as well as 

buka puasa at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort’s 

celebrated Santapan 29 Malam dinner buffet. 

Their outing was documented by OhBulan! and 

hosted by the ever-energetic Danial Nawawi, whose 

lively personality brightened up the day as he guided 

the children through their celebrations. Watch this 

engaging video online at https://www.facebook. 

com/tropicanacorp/videos/683569602912588/ 

Jared Ang, Group Executive Director of Tropicana 

conveyed the principles driving Tropicana’s 

charitable initiatives, as well as the importance of 

delivering assistance to underprivileged community. 

“Every single year without fail, Tropicana engages 

with communities celebrating Ramadhan. With the 

relaxation of SOPs, we decided to host a day of 

fun and exciting activities to cheer up children 

in need. We’re very proud of this charitable 

partnership with OhBulan! together with the 

support of our subsidiaries like Tropicana Golf & 

Country Resort and Tropicana Gardens Mall. This 

also underscores our commitment to Redefining 

the Art of Living, Sharing, and Caring through 

and through,” he said. 

The visit began at Tropicana Heights’ 16-acre 

Central Park, where the children enjoyed a morning 

of fun in the sun next to the development’s 750m 

linear lake. Their itinerary included activities such 

as cycling, basketball, and traditional games. 

They were then taken to Tropicana Gardens 

Mall, where they received duit Raya packets 

after which they were invited to start their Raya 

wishlist at BookXcess, one of Malaysia’s leading 

book retailers. Sports Paragon also welcomed 

the children to its flagship store, where they 

were treated to goodie bags containing sandals, 

snacks, and face masks. Rounding out the festive 

giving, the children chose shoes from brands 

such as Peak and Kronos to set the pace for the 

coming year.

MALAYSIA’S LARGEST 

THAI FESTIVAL AT TROPICANA 

GARDENS MALL 

38 

Tropicana Gardens Mall, the retail arm of Tropicana, 

partnered with the Royal Thai Embassy and 

Thailand’s Department of International Trade 

Promotion to host Malaysia’s largest Thai festival, 

Think Thailand. The 12-day extravaganza, which 

began on 26 May 2022 offered shoppers the 

opportunity to experience the best of Thailand 

with exciting activities such as cooking and martial 

arts demonstrations, lively cultural performances, a 

Thai bazaar, and more. Think Thailand leverages on 

revitalised retail interest. Andrew Ashvin, Managing 

Director of Tropicana Gardens Mall & Group Assets 

Management, shared more on the mall’s aspirations 

to provide a vibrant mix of engaging activities for 

shoppers and visitors. 

“Malaysians are ready to shop, dine out, and travel 

again, and Tropicana Gardens Mall aims to cater to 

this demand and provide more exciting experiences 

with Think Thailand. Thanks to our partners in the 

Royal Thai Embassy and Department of International 

Trade Promotion, the festival will feature authentic 

Thai experiences for visitors to enjoy, as well as 

products from more than 50 Thai exporters at over 50 

booths onsite. It also aligns with evolving consumer 

preferences for experiential engagement in retail, 

following shifts to digital and online platforms 

during the lockdown, as Tropicana continues 

Redefining the Art of Shopping,” he said. Visitors 

to the mall had the chance to sample an array 

of Thai delicacies, including those from Thai 

SELECT restaurants, as well as the Thailand 

International Halal Showcase. Other attractions 

included Muai Thai demonstrations and a boxing 

tournament. Thai products were also showcased 

throughout the festival, including newly-launched 

and specially-priced goods. Among the many 

brands represented at Think Thailand were 

Jonesalid, ChaTraMue, J-Deli, HappiLuv, and 

Hommern, covering a varied range of food & 

beverage, lifestyle, beauty products and more. 

“We are pleased to work with Tropicana Gardens 

Mall in encouraging Malaysians to Think Thailand. 

With its strategic location, spacious design and 

prime connectivity, the mall is well suited as a venue 

for the festival,” said Chainarong Keratiyutwong, 

Ambassador of Thailand to Malaysia.

TROPICANA PARTNERS 

WITH THE LOST FOOD 

PROJECT TO FIGHT 

HUNGER 

Tropicana Foundation, the charity arm of Tropicana collaborated 

with Malaysian non-profit organisation The Lost Food Project 

(“TLFP”) to channel surplus food to the needy. Together with 

its subsidiary, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort and Greenhouse 

Farm & Fishery (Tropicana’s agriculture arm), the team cleaned, 

wrapped and delivered 300kg of fish to six TLFP charity partners 

across Selangor. Jared Ang, Group Executive Director of Tropicana, 

elaborated on its ongoing humanitarian mission, in line with its 

sustainable development approach across its portfolio. 

“Hunger is a growing global concern as supply chain disruptions 

affect food prices and availability. Despite this, more than 4,000 

tonnes of avoidable food waste are generated in Malaysia each day. 

We remain consistent in our efforts to tackle this social issue by 

partnering with TLFP, as well as our subsidiary Tropicana Golf & 

Country Resort and agriculture arm Greenhouse Farm & Fishery, for 

the distribution of surplus fish stock to those in need, in line with 

Tropicana’s commitment to Redefining the Art of Caring throughout 

its townships and vertical communities,” he said. The donated fish 

comprised tilapia stock, a low-calorie food source packed with 

protein and nutrients such as vitamin B12 and selenium, which play 

an essential role in immune system function. The donated tilapia 

were carefully cleaned and vacuum-packed to preserve freshness 

prior to distribution. 

39 

In addition to its collaboration with TLFP, Tropicana Foundation 

also donated 180 care packs to the Tan Sri Muhyiddin Charity Golf 

Foundation (“TSMCGF”), in conjunction with the Founders Cup 

2022 tournament held at the Kota Permai Golf & Country Club. 

The care packs included healthy baked goods, cutlery sets, mineral 

water and recycled bags. Tropicana’s partnerships with TLFP and 

TSMCGF underscore its commitment to engaging with and uplifting 

underprivileged segments of society, as part of its sustainable 

approach to environmental, social and corporate governance 

(“ESG”) principles.

LIVE HIGH, LIVE MIGHTY 

AT THE TOP OF 

GENTING HIGHLANDS 

Sited high up among the clouds is one of Malaysia’s top tourist destinations, Genting 

Highlands. The draw of this hill station city lies in its perfect trifecta - entertainment, 

recreation and cool environs. This makes the locale an equally covetable weekend 

getaway or even better, a holiday home destination. 

Located under an hour’s drive away from Kuala Lumpur, Genting Highlands is a magnet 

for travellers and holidaymakers from Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley, and even as 

far as Singapore. 

46


Its constellation of entertainment and recreational options 

complete with dining and shopping option as presented by 

Resorts World Genting has solidify the position of this highland 

retreat as the City of Entertainment. Now, with the opening of 

Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park, the stage is set for an even 

more thrilling ride. 

As the country’s international borders are now open, an 

upswing in tourist arrivals is expected and the lure of 

adventure and adrenaline cannot be denied. With the return of 

visitors, this heralds an increase in job opportunities, and over 

time, lead to a rise in demand for residential and commercial 

properties in the area. 

The action at the top has also spilled down to mid-hill Genting as 

towns such as Gohtong Jaya and Genting Sempah gain popularity 

with tourists looking for an alternative, localised experience. 

Ecotourism and even medical tourism are also set to be some of 

the game-changers that will spur development further. 

With this in mind, Tropicana has envisioned a new mega 

development for the highland that is Tropicana WindCity. 

A curation in progress, Tropicana WindCity will encompass 

Tropicana Grandhill, Tropicana Paradise and Tropicana Avalon, 

each offering its own lifestyle components. 

Come take a tour of Genting Highlands with us and experience 

living life at the peak. Visit us at www.tropicanawindcity.com

THE GRAND LAUNCH OF 

TROPICANA WINDCITY 

On 16 June 2022, Tropicana marked a significant milestone as it 

celebrated two momentous achievements for the Group - the 

unveiling of Tropicana WindCity in Genting Highlands and the 

improved T Privilege loyalty programme. Strategically located 

at the mid-hill of this tourist hotspot, Tropicana plans to build 

a holistic 596 acres township comprising three masterplans: 

Tropicana Grandhill, Tropicana Paradise and Tropicana Avalon, 

spread across 112 acres, 308 acres and 176 acres respectively. 

Tropicana also unveiled T Privilege, an improved loyalty 

programme anchored by the Tropicana 360 mobile app. 

Launched in 2011, Tropicana Privilege Card was the first 

property loyalty programme introduced by the Group. The 

all-improved T Privilege aims to offer more benefits to its 

property purchasers as well as the community across the 

Group’s ecosystem. Through T Privilege, Tropicana members 

can enjoy special rebates to their next property purchase and 

experience a host of benefits when they dine, play or stay in 

Tropicana’s affiliates, from retail and golf resort to hospitality. 

Members can leverage on the programme’s 65 merchant 

partners and brands, specially curated for the unveiling with 

plans to offer more exciting merchants in the future. Dion 

Tan, Group Managing Director of Tropicana, enthused on 

how Tropicana has constantly evolved and transformed 

with the times, from pioneering the first resort-style 

Tropicana Golf & Country Resort to the Group’s recent 

growth with the vibrant Tropicana WindCity and loyalty 

programme. 

“Standing on a 596 acres site, we plan to build a holistic 

retail, recreational and residential oasis at Genting 

Highlands mid-hill. Tropicana WindCity is envisioned 

with Tropicana Paradise as the catalyst, offering an 

entertainment haven at the heart of the township. This 

vibrant blueprint will chart a new growth horizon for our 

Group as well as marks our first marketing expansion into 

the international market across the Asia Pacific region. 

We are pleased to note that we have already registered 

interest from various companies, underscoring the rising 

interest in our highland development, and we look 

forward to and invite more exciting collaborations in the 

near future,” he said.

The pioneer of this mega development, Tropicana Grandhill, is 

conceptualised to embody the holistic and wholesome spirit of 

living life at the top, surrounded by the serenity of nature. This 

112 acres freehold mixed development features a fine collection of

RIDE THE CABLE CAR 

If convenience and comfort is key for you, then hop on the cable car and 

go for a ride on the Awana SkyWay. You will be treated to a spectacular 

bird’s eye view of the 130-million-year-old rainforest surrounding 

Genting Highlands. There is also the glass floor gondola to make the 

ride even more thrilling. 

Tropicana Paradise is set to be less than 10km away from the Awana 

SkyWay.


GO HIKING 

A drive down the main road from Genting Highlands 

to the mid-hill point will bring you to the entry point 

of the trail up Gunung Bunga Buah. Rising up to 1,430 

metres above sea level, a guide is advised. The way up 

can get really muddy and slippery so check the weather 

first! What is most rewarding is the mossy forest that 

will greet you near the top. 

Located within a 2km radius from Tropicana Grandhill, 

the trail leading up to Gunung Bunga Buah is literally in 

the backyard of the development. 

GO ON A SHOPPING SPREE 

Refresh your wardrobe with top designer labels from 

Genting Highlands Premium Outlets. From Burberry to 

Salvatore Ferragamo, the choices are endless as there 

are 150 outlet stores to shop from and at delightfully 

affordable prices too. 

Tropicana Paradise is set to be less than 10km away 

from the Genting Highlands Premium Outlets. 

64 

EXPLORE SOME CULTURE 

Visit the Chin Swee Caves Temple for a sweeping, 

panoramic view of Genting Highlands. Located on a 

rocky slope, a trip to the temple looks set to be an 

enlightening experience, allowing visitors to deep 

dive into the Chinese culture. Star attractions include 

the 9-storey pagoda and a huge statue of Buddha set 

against the backdrop of a lush jungle. 

Tropicana Avalon will be within a 10km radius of Chin 

Swee Caves Temple.


WINE AND DINE 

Delectable treats or local flavours, tantalise your 

senses with the wide array of cuisine and dishes up 

here in Genting Highlands. Offerings are aplenty up 

here including Burger & Lobster, Il Lago, Five Guys, 

and The Laughing Fish by Harry Ramsden or head to 

Gohtong Jaya at mid-hill for a generous selection of 

local favourites. 

Tropicana Avalon will be within a 10km radius of these 

hot dining spots. 

FOLLOW THE FOOD TRAIL 

In support of the community, venture out and eat like 

the locals. Delicious alternatives are aplenty all the 

way from Janda Baik to Bukit Tinggi and even as far as 

Bentong. Check out Fantasy Valley Restaurant at Bukit 

Tinggi where you can dine in nature, complete with a 

river and greeneries. 

Tropicana Avalon will be within a 10km radius of these

THE DURIAN HUNTER 

Calling all durian lovers, there is no other place than 

Pahang for all things durian. Get educated about the 

King of Fruits as you indulgence in its creamy goodness. 

Farms and orchards are aplenty here and we spotted a 

few in the vicinity including Jimmy’s Durian Orchard in 

Karak. 

Tropicana Grandhill is approximately 46km away the 

orchard.


GETTING TO KNOW JUMBO 

Famed for its rich diversity of flora and fauna, Pahang 

is also home to an elephant sanctuary, the 

Kuala Gandah Elephant Conservation Centre in 

Lanchang. Children would love the opportunity to 

see these majestic creatures up close and personal 

and visitors are also given the chance to bathe the 

elephants in the river, if the conditions are right. 

Tropicana Grandhill is approximately 80km away the 

centre. 

66 

VISIT THE FALLS 

Nestled within acres of greens, it’s time to reconnect with 

Mother Nature and explore hidden waterfalls. Located 

about an hour’s drive away from Genting Highlands is the 

Lata Hammer Waterfall in Bentong. What’s impressive 

about this hidden fall is its huge and equally deep pool. 

This perfectly divine Zen zone is the place to escape from 

demanding day-to-day life chores. Or opt for a closer fall. 

Lata Tampit, nearby Janda Baik, is a 7-tier waterfall that 

makes for a restful respite. 

From the TwinPines Serviced Suites, Lata Tampit, 

Kampung Janda Baik is about 17km away or a 

30-minute ride and Lata Hammer Waterfall, Bentong is 

an estimated 37km away or about a 40-minute drive.

For decades, audiences around the world have been captivated by Japanese animation's 

distinct style and sense of whimsy, and this holds true for everything from the plot to the 

artwork as well as cultural references and ideas featured in the shows. What adds to the 

appeal is that the anime narratives and characters are grounded in reality, as are their 

problems. And because of the freedom of visual expression, anime producers can make 

these stories appear larger than life. The most well-known Japanese animation studio 

is Studio Ghibli, which was established in 1985 by Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki. 

There’s even a Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan, which was launched in October 2001 as 

a joint venture between Studio Ghibli and the Tokuma Memorial Cultural Foundation for 

Animation, while a Ghibli Park is set to open in November this year in Nagakute. It will 

feature attractions based on Studio Ghibli’s movies. Unlike other animation studios, Studio 

Ghibli was founded to explore the human pscyhe and offer audiences poetic stories that 

would express its complexities. 

It has produced more than 20 films many of which opened at the top of the box office 

in Japan the year they were released. One of Hayao’s most popular films Spirited Away, 

which was released in 2001 earned over ¥30 billion (RM1 billion) at the box office. Film 

critics and animators from across the world have also awarded Studio Ghibli’s films with 

several awards and critical praise. Spirited Away got the 2003 Academy Award for Best 

Animated Feature Film and the Golden Bear prize at the 2002 Berlin International Film 

Festival. The studio’s The Wind Rises, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, When Marnie Was 

There, and The Red Turtle have also been nominated for the Academy Awards for Best 

Animated Feature Film. According to The New York Times, the next project will be Hayao’s 

last Studio Ghibli film. The 81-year-old and producer Toshio Suzuki gave little details about 

it, but it is said to be based on Genzaburo Yoshino’s 1937 novel, How Do You Live? The 

protagonist is a 15-year-old boy in Tokyo whose father just died. He is small for his age and 

often gets into trouble.

HORAI COUNTRY CLUB, JAPAN 

The course here is set in a scenic countryside near the 

Nishinasuno Country Club. It is a gorgeous flat forest links course 

with reasonably narrow fairways bordered by red pine trees of 

similar height. The layout of the course includes some dogleg 

holes, elevated big greens and strategically-placed lakes. It has a 

tough layout and stunning landscape, which will make you want 

to come back and play again. Each and every green has intricate 

undulations, making it a challenge to putt on them. The 10th 

and 11th holes require an increased level of caution because the 

hazards come into play so effectively on those holes. High scores 

on these two holes will jeopardise your chances of winning. 

KARUIZAWA GOLF RESORT, JAPAN 

At an elevation of 1,300 metres above sea level, Kita-Karuizawa 

features two 18-hole courses namely the Asama course and the 

Shirakaba course where you can play in clean mountain air. In 

the middle of summer, temperatures seldom climb over 30°C, 

but in the spring and fall, the brilliant colours of nature provide 

a lovely backdrop to your game. In Karuizawa, you can stay in 

the luxurious Taiheiyo Club resort, which is referred to as ‘Villa 

the Club’. While here, don’t forget to check out the restaurants, 

which serve sumptuous Japanese, Chinese and Western cuisines. 

Because the resort has the capacity to host up to 200 visitors, 

it is an excellent choice for hosting company outings as well as 

retreats devoted to corporate training.

DONGPUSAN COUNTRY CLUB, KOREA 

Dongpusan Country Club is a 27-hole mountain course in 

Yangsan, with three 9-hole courses: the Hill Course, Lake Course 

and Valley Course. The Hill Course has bunkers, hazards and great 

landscapes. The tricky hole #9 par 4, which boasts an elevated 

tee box with green on the left side behind a pond at the end 

of a dogleg left, is one of the best holes on the Hill Course. The 

hallmark hole on the Lake Course, #3 par 5, is 491 metres and 

plays straight uphill against the wind. The Valley Course’s par 4 

finishing hole is rated the most difficult, with multiple challenging 

characteristics including an uphill climb to the clubhouse and a 

slight dogleg right to the green. 

• In Malaysia, golf can be enjoyed in the highlands at Awana 

Genting Highlands Golf & Country Resort. It is just over 4 km or

BIOCONTROL 

Tropicana’s use of dragonflies as a biocontrol 

mechanism shows promising results 

81

JULY/AUGUST 2022 NATURE 

Nearly a year has passed since the Tramea transmarina dragonfly larvae were released into a 

pond at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort ("TGCR") as a natural solution to suppress mosquito 

population and impede mosquito larvae growth. A dragonfly’s natural diet includes mosquitoes 

and flying insects near ponds. Dragonflies are precise and lethal hunters, catching almost 95% of 

their prey. A field survey was undertaken by dragonfly expert Dr Choong Chee Yen to establish 

whether or not the endeavour was effective, and the results were encouraging. “We conducted 

an observation at the pond on 18 February 2022 (about five months after releasing the larvae) 

and we’re pleased to report that the dragonflies are breeding successfully at the pond,” says 

the lecturer at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Faculty of Science and Technology. 

During the survey, it was discovered that the pond was home to a staggering six different 

dragonfly species in addition to the Tramea transmarina (commonly known as Saddlebag 

Glider) larvae that were first released into the pond. “This is a good sign since it indicates 

that the environment there is healthy,” Choong notes. It also suggests that the initiative has 

achieved its goal of providing a new habitat for the dragonflies used in the pilot project, as 

well as attracting other dragonfly species to converge at the ponds in TGCR. In addition to the 

role that dragonflies play in controlling the mosquito population by feeding on mosquitoes 

and their larvae, the project paves the way for the ponds to become an eco-tourism location 

suitable for dragonfly observation activities. The project, the first of its kind for a golf course, 

exemplifies Tropicana’s efforts to fulfil its commitment as a responsible developer by minimising 

the impact on natural ecosystems and biodiversity.

Kenji poses with his 

wall art creations 

INSTA-WORTHY 

At Tropicana Gardens Mall, renowned graffiti artist Kenji Chai 

has created murals inspired by a Japanese anime 

The next time you visit Tropicana Gardens Mall, be sure to stop by the West Walk area on the ground 

floor, outside Starbucks Reserve, to admire the murals there. Kenji Chai, a celebrated graffiti artist 

whose masterpieces can be seen in several parts of Malaysia as well as in other countries, is the one 

who came up with the bold and bright wall art creations, worthy of being featured on Instagram. 

Due to the fact that there is a mural on either side of an almost spiral staircase, these works of art 

are incredibly arresting. “Many people take photos here and tag me on their social media accounts,” 

says Kenji. He adds that the murals were inspired by a Japanese anime called Spirited Away, which 

tells the story of a girl, Chihiro Ogino who, while relocating to a new neighborhood, enters the world 

of Kami (spirits of Japanese Shinto folklore). “Between 50 and 60 percent of the murals’ characters 

are based on the anime,” explains Kenji. According to him, creating the murals were difficult because 

he had to ascend ladders and stand on scaffoldings at various points. “The scaffoldings were not 

particularly stable, so I had a difficult time with them. It took me somewhere between 10 and 14 days 

to finish the murals”. Among the 40-year-old Sabah native’s other notable works include a 25-storey 

mural on the wall of the RED by Sirocco hotel, which got certified by the Malaysia Book of Records as 

the tallest mural in the country. Kenji, who has been invited to paint murals in over 20 countries, has 

also partnered with brands such as BMW, Puma, Netflix, Vans and of course, Starbucks.

FUN 

Tropicana Cenang’s Cultural Day 

included everything from traditional 

games to a batik workshop 

Tropicana Cenang in Langkawi recently held a Cultural 

Day as part of its efforts to promote traditional arts, 

crafts and culture as well as commemorate the Hari 

Raya celebrations. The event attracted 30 walk-in 

visitors, mainly tourists who were visiting the island. It 

was a fun day for everyone as they had the chance to 

sample local delights, listen to live gamelan music and 

a keroncong band, take part in traditional games and 

learn how to make batik. The event, often held during 

festive celebrations, is also part of Tropicana’s aim to 

strengthen ties with the community. People of all ages 

were engrossed in the activities, including children who 

were occupied throughout the batik workshop. 

Guests were treated 

to a gamelan 

performance 

It is a good idea to teach children about batik at an early 

88 

age so that they may gain a basic understanding of the 

art form and hopefully develop an appreciation for 

the traditional fabric. “I have high hopes that the new 

generation will be able to contribute to the production 

of quality batik. I have no doubt that up-and-coming 

designers will incorporate batik into their collections. 

In another ten years, I anticipate that people would 

wear batik for both work and play,” Kapten Batik 

co-founder, Farhan Omar comments. The brand’s other 

founder Ekram Faiz, thinks that the market will become 

more competitive and that inventive batik production 

methods will increase. He notes that it will generate 

more employment possibilities for Malaysians. “Batik 

is one-of-a-kind because it is made skilfully by hand 

rather than machine-made. Despite being produced in 

the same batch, each piece of batik is unique. Seeing 

the fresh and brilliant colour after a dyeing process is 

such a wonderful treat.”

So Shien Yong has always wanted to own a 

Tropicana property ever since he was a boy, 

and he has his heart set on a lovely corner lot 

at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort (“TGCR”) in 

Petaling Jaya. While he is still working towards 

that goal, the young man has at least been able 

to partner with Tropicana in April this year. “I 

remember seeing a corner lot property for sale 

at TGCR when I was in high school. 

To one day acquire a property there would 

be a blessing!” he exclaims, adding that the 

opportunity to collaborate with Tropicana 

recently was an added advantage and 

motivation for him. The founder and director 

of Flawless Group Sdn Bhd, which creates 

Apple Watch covers under the brand name 

Amarald Co., says his company had an event 

at the Tropicana Gardens Office Tower where 

his clients were invited to collect their Amarald 

Co. sets at the Experiential Hall, a luxurious 

event space with breathtaking views of a golf 

club. “As a start-up company, working with 

Tropicana, which has developed impressive 

landmarks throughout Malaysia, is a huge 

honour for us.” He notes that his company’s 

values are in sync with Tropicana’s. “To us, it’s 

all about the customer. Our loyal customers, 

the driving force behind the success of our 

company, are always at the forefront of our 

business.” 

Shien Yong got his business idea in June last 

year when he noticed that the popularity of 

Apple Watches had increased but there were 

few choices for customising them. “All Apple 

watches look very generic as the only way to 

customise them is by changing the strap.”

Amarald Co.’s Apple Watch covers come in a range of 

styles, from sleek to statement-making, and straps in 

various colours. They include the Carbon Fibre Frame 

with touches of Rose Gold, Midnight Black 18K Rose 

Gold Silicon Classic, Marine Blue 18K Rose Gold Silicon 

Classic, Absolute Black Silicon Classic, Polished Silver 

Silicon Classic, 23K Yellow Gold Silicon Classic, 18K Rose 

Gold Silicon Classic, Polished Silver Leather Classic and 

Absolute Black Stainless Steel Classic, 18K Rose Gold 

Titanium Frame Series, and more. 

After scouting for watchmakers, designers, marketeers 

and content creators, Shien Yong and his team spent 

months planning, designing and developing Amarald Co. 

prior to its January 2022 launch. “A common reaction 

from someone who has seen our products is, ‘Wow, these 

are gorgeous’. Not only have we attracted watch lovers 

as clients, but we’re also getting a positive response from 

individuals wishing to update their wristwear.” What 

makes Amarald Co. special is its customers, says Shien 

Yong. “Our customers exhibit a distinct personality 

trait that we can identify. Each of them has a single 

goal in mind: to stand out from the crowd. They are 

bold, daring and willing to express themselves in 

unconventional ways.” Before recommending an Amarald 

Co. creation to a potential customer, he needs to learn 

more about the customer’s interests, style preferences 

and other factors. “Each of our frame is unique to its 

owner in terms of material, style, serial code and colour.” 

The Rose Gold Silicon Classic is Shien Yong’s personal 

favourite. “It suits many different occasions, like business 

meetings, social gatherings, or even activities like golfing 

and jogging.” Shien Yong points out that Amarald Co. is a 

complementary product to the Apple Watch, and there 

aren’t many other retailers in this area. “Eventually, we 

want to be able to call ourselves pioneers in the field 

of smart device upgrades and customisation,” he says, 

adding that he is looking into expanding his business in 

Southeast Asia.

THE 

OF 

MAKEUP 

Whether your skin tone is light, medium or dark, our beauty 

professionals share their makeup tips to help you look your best! 

FOUNDATION 

Narrow down your options to three shades that appear 

to be a good fit and apply each shade in the form of 

short lines along your jawline. The most suitable shade 

should disappear into your skin. 

Tip: The ideal way to apply foundation is to blend it in 

with your finger pad, then spread it evenly across the 

face with a sponge. 

CONCEALER 

Choose one shade lighter than your natural complexion. 

Smooth it outward using light tapping motions with the 

pad of your ring finger for a natural finish. 

POWDER 

Loose powder sets foundation and concealer so that 

they last longer. If you can’t find a shade that matches 

your skin tone, opt for a translucent one. 

Tip: Sprinkle some loose powder under the eyes 

before applying eyeshadow so that any eyeshadow 

powder that lands there may be easily brushed away. 

EYESHADOW 

Lighter skin tones can take almost every eyeshadow colour, 

while the brown colour family as well as blues, greys and 

greens are excellent for medium complexions. Those with 

darker skin tones look great with bold eyeshadow colours.

Tip: Blend a dark colour into the crease of your eyes to create the illusion of deep-set eyes. 

If you prefer dramatic eyes, use black in the eye creases and along the lash line, and then 

shade outward. For seductive peepers, apply a light colour all over the eyelids and then 

sweep on a deeper colour into the crease, as well as along the upper and lower lash lines. 

From left: June Tan, 

Iqa Zamri and Arina Zaidi 

EYELINER 

Make your eyes look more appealing by lining the top of your lash lines with eyeliner. For 

brighter peepers, line the lower rims of your eyes with white eyeliner. 

BLUSHER 

Blushers in baby pink, light peach and berry-plum hues work well on fair skin. Rosy pinks, 

warm peach and mauve colours complement medium skin tones. If you have dark skin, try 

blushers in peach, plum, bronze or brick red. 

Tip: To define your cheekbones, suck in your cheeks until you see an indentation below 

the apples of your cheeks. Apply a dark-coloured blusher or a bronzer and work it down 

that indentation. 

96 

LIPS 

Lighter complexions look best with pink-toned lipsticks, shades of mauve complement 

medium skin tones, while berry hues look good on dark skin. Still unsure? Get a red lipstick 

with blue undertones as it goes well with every skin colour. 

Syhimran and C. Jamil 

THE BEAUTY PROS 

Sought-after by celebrities, Syhimran studied makeup artistry at GiatMARA and 

hairstyling at Thomas & Guys Academy. She feels that there are no hard and fast 

rules when it comes to makeup. “Wear whatever that makes you feel good. What’s 

important is to care for your skin. When your skin is healthy, it acts as the perfect 

canvas for your makeup, allowing it to look its best.” As for C. Jamil, she got bored of 

working in finance and decided to pursue her interest in beauty. “I put my accountancy 

degree to good use for several years, but then something told me I should do what I 

enjoy. I’ve been doing makeup and hairstyling for ten years now and I’ve never been 

happier”. Her makeup tip? “Always wear mascara as it “opens up” the eyes, and trust 

the power of a lipstick, which enhances your overall look. It’s magic in a tube!”.

whole world is the one 

that looks good on you."

WORKPLACE 

WELLNESS 

AWARENESS 

Healthy and happy employees are more productive, engaged and 

fulfilled in their jobs. Here are 10 workplace wellness strategies


YOGA AT WORK 

Some companies arrange yoga classes 

to keep employees’ minds focused on 

the present moment and away from 

their problems and anxieties. Even a 

few minutes of yoga may invigorate 

and prepare one for the day ahead. 

SHORT BREAKS 

Take breaks throughout the day. Rather 

than remaining seated, get up and take 

a walk. Leave your workstation even if 

it’s just for five minutes to get coffee, 

food from the pantry or simply to gaze 

out the window. 

STAND UP 

Avoid sitting down for too long. You 

could stand when you’re reading 

documents, talking to a colleague or 

when using the phone. This will make 

your blood flow better and burn more 

calories, too. 

OUTDOOR MEETINGS 

Why not hold meetings outside the 

office? After all, a meeting while 

walking in nature promotes physical 

activity and is a wonderful approach 

to stimulate creativity. It’s certainly a 

breath of fresh air. 

FINANCIAL WELLNESS 

Financial stress can affect performance. 

Companies could help by organising a 

workshop led by an external expert 

or someone from the finance team 

on issues such as budgeting, debt 

reduction and saving strategies. 

USEFUL APPS 

Some Apps are beneficial to job 

performance. Elevate is a game-like 

App that provides personalised brain 

training. Then there is the Power Nap 

App for employees to experience ‘the 

power of the power nap’. 

STRESS MANAGEMENT 

By providing stress management 

training, companies may aid their 

staff in coping with stress and 

building resilience. LinkedIn offers six 

courses on themes such as enhancing 

resilience and coping with loss. 

NEW ENVIRONMENT 

With the new normal, organisations 

are reconsidering their workplace 

design to guarantee the safety of 

their employees, including ensuring 

social distancing, physical comfort 

and safety, and activity-based 

working (ABW) environment. 

FAMILY CARE 

When an employee’s home life is 

in disarray, it shows up at work. 

Employers could demonstrate their 

concern for their employees by 

offering benefits such as childcare, 

family events and a flexible work 

schedule. 

EXTENDED HELP 

Organisations realise that happy 

employees are more productive in 

both their personal and professional 

lives. So, they help their staff with 

non-working needs like connect them 

with counsellors to help with finance, 

legal or other matters should they 

require.

JULY/AUGUST 2022 LIFEHACKS 

TIME-SAVING 

KITCHEN 

HACKS 

With too much to do and not enough time, 

we’ve got you covered at least when it 

comes to cooking 

100 

BREAD AND WATER If your 

bread is somewhat stale, simply 

pour some water over it and 

throw it in the oven to make it 

fresh again. 

EASY PEEL To easily remove the 

skin from a potato, boil it for a 

few minutes, then dunk it into a 

bowl of ice-cold water. The skin 

will slide right off when you peel.


QUICK AND EASY Making a 

quick stir-fry with minced meat, 

vegetables and spices in a wok is 

one of the simplest methods to 

overcome time constraints. It’s a 

filling dish that goes well with rice. 

VERSATILE Buy a rotisserie chicken 

from the grocery store or deli the next 

time you’re in a hurry. The flesh from 

the drumsticks, thighs and wings can be 

used in salads, sandwiches or fried rice, 

while the breast parts can be saved for 

another recipe. 

STOCK UP Stock up on items you 

use frequently. Noodles, pastas, 

eggs and other staples can be 

stored for a considerable amount 

of time. Sauces, purees, and 

pastes like ginger and garlic can 

also be kept on hand. 

FREEZE Prepare and freeze 

sandwiches, pan-fried fish, meat and 

chicken. You can also freeze stews, 

soups and even rendang. Brownies, 

cakes and muffins freeze well too. It 

simplifies meal prep as all you have to 

do is thaw and microwave. 

101 

KEEP THEM FRESH To keep your 

weekly groceries fresh, line the 

bottom of your crisper drawer 

with paper towels or a thin 

cotton/muslin cloth. 

SO LONG, SOGGY! Reheating soggy 

pizza or roti canai leftovers might 

cause them to become dry and 

bland. Keep it fresh by placing it in 

the microwave with a cup of water 

and heating it.

JULY/AUGUST 2022 BEAUTY FOCUS 

GOODNESS FROM 

THE SEA 

Inspired by Scandinavian principles and powered by Ocean 

Silk Technology, Sachajuan is the premier name in hair care 

104 

Its name originates from its founders Sacha Mitic and Juan Rosenlind who combined their names 

when they opened their salon in Stockholm, Sweden in 1997. After experimentation with different 

brands without finding the desired performance or style, they introduced their first products in 

2004. These include shampoos, conditioners, serums and more. The brand’s approach to haircare 

is simple - cleanse, condition and add treatments if needed. Sachajuan’s uniqueness lies in its 

patented Ocean Silk Technology - a cocktail of proteins and mineral extracts derived from sea 

algae. Its products contain extracts from two cold-water algae naturally harvested from the 

ocean namely rhodophycea and chondrus crispus. The former is known for strengthening hair, 

increasing elasticity and adding moisture to it. It works on the interior of the hair, boosting the 

hair’s mineral balance with magnesium, calcium, manganese and zinc, which can get depleted by 

daily damage. Chondrus crispus works mainly on the surface of the hair. It has a higher calcium 

and zinc content, which helps to increase shine and protect hair from surface damage. Both of 

these algae hold great nourishing and normalising properties for the scalp. Suffice to say, it is the 

Ocean Silk Technology that makes Sachajuan special.

JULY/AUGUST 2022 BEAUTY SNIPPETS 

FOR HEAVENLY 

HAIR 

Read on to learn how to maintain your crowning glory 

1 

Wet hair is three times more susceptible 

to breaking, so handle it with care. Do 

not overly rub wet hair with a towel. Use a 

wide-tooth comb to detangle hair but avoid 

excessive combing and brushing damp or 

wet hair. 

2 

While blow drying, begin with the 

lowest heat setting and gradually 

increase heat as needed. Whenever possible, 

let your hair dry naturally. 

106 

3 

The best way to maintain healthy hair 

and avoid split ends is to get regular 

haircuts, preferably once every 10 to 12 

weeks. 

4 

Hair follicles and sebaceous glands 

may be stimulated by increasing your 

omega-3 fatty acid intake. This will boost 

scalp health. Salmon, sardines, flaxseed and 

yoghurt are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. 

5 

Harsh shampoos, treatments and 

styling products have the most impact 

on hair health. Other factors include stress, 

excessive alcohol intake, low-calorie and 

crash diets, low thyroid hormone and some 

medicines for arthritis, depression, heart 

problems and high blood pressure.

IN GOOD COMPANY 

Certain animals can provide comfort and assistance to people with disabilities 

120 

A disability can have an impact on daily life, affecting heart 

rate, communication, and inducing sadness. A cuddly pet, 

such as a cat or dog, can help to mitigate these adverse 

consequences. Since depression is one of the most common 

issues that the disabled face, they can get the motivation and 

sense of responsibility they need to make a positive change 

if they have a pet they need to take care of. When battling 

depression, caring for others can come more readily than 

caring for oneself. As a result, an animal’s natural disposition 

to play can have positive, long-term effects on a person’s 

mental health. 

Apart from cats and dogs, gerbils, hamsters and dwarf rabbits 

make excellent pets for persons suffering from depression. 

Most rodent pets provide intelligent and entertaining 

interactions. For the wheelchair-bound, service dogs make 

perfect companions as they are trained to open doors, 

handle light switches, and pick up or recover objects from the 

ground or from distant spots. Greyhound, German shepherd, 

labrador retriever and golden retriever are among the 

best dog breeds for wheelchair users. Other types of 

dogs, like pugs, are excellent emotional support animals. 

Dachshunds make great therapy animals because they are 

friendly, calm, and gentle. Cats, on the other hand, are 

adept at detecting people’s moods and depression. When 

they sense your sadness, they may come close to you as 

if to console you.
