EDITOR'S NOTE<br />
<strong>The</strong> months of <strong>September</strong> and <strong>October</strong> are filled with festivities, Mid-Autumn Festival in <strong>September</strong> and Diwali in <strong>October</strong>.<br />
Celebrations serve as reminders of what is truly essential. <strong>The</strong>y bond us to our families, communities, and friends. And<br />

EDUCATIONAL<br />
EXCELLENCE<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> empowers the community with internationally recognised<br />
educational institutions in its townships
TROPICANA MAGAZINE<br />
Having a learning institution that meets a specific standard<br />
and serves the community would be ideal and desirable<br />
for a township. And in its capacity as a developer, <strong>Tropicana</strong><br />
ensures that this need is fulfilled in order to create complete<br />
and wholesome townships. As part of its focus on Redefining<br />
the Art of Learning, <strong>Tropicana</strong> aims to empower the<br />
community by having internationally recognised educational<br />
institutions in its townships. <strong>The</strong> educational institutions are<br />
Tenby International School <strong>Tropicana</strong> Aman, and St. Joseph’s<br />
Institution International School Malaysia (“SJIIM”) (<strong>Tropicana</strong> PJ<br />
Campus). Both educational institutions have a stellar reputation<br />
and a track record of producing successful students thanks to<br />
their excellent learning environments, state-of-the-art facilities,<br />
outstanding curriculum, and qualified teaching personnel.<br />
SJIIM caters to students from age three to 18, leading to<br />
international qualifications such as the Cambridge International<br />
General Certificate of Secondary Education (“GCSE”), and the<br />
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (“IBDP”).<br />
While SJIIM has celebrated numerous firsts and achievements<br />
over the years, last year was perhaps most momentous as it<br />
achieved a perfect score in the IBDP. Ten students obtained the<br />
perfect score of 45 points, the full marks in the IBDP, which they<br />
had sat for in April 2021. According to Tony Lai, the school’s<br />
Marketing, Admissions and Communications Director, this is<br />
truly a feat because normally schools in Malaysia would only<br />
have one or two students getting the highest grade of 45 points.<br />
Not only that, the average score by students at the school was<br />
43 points, which is way above the provisional 2021 average<br />
score worldwide of 33 points.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se result statistics are superb, considering that the school<br />
is only about six years old. In addition, the students completed<br />
their IBDP studies and sat for their IBDP examinations in very<br />
challenging circumstances, given the movement control orders<br />
and lockdowns in Malaysia since 2020.<br />
This year’s IBDP results are also noteworthy, with two students<br />
scoring 44 points, which is only one point short of the perfect<br />
score. While the average score was 37 points, 32 percent of<br />
students scored 40 or more points. As in previous years, the<br />
majority of SJIIM leavers are going to study at some of the most<br />
prestigious universities in the world. A number of students from<br />
SJIIM Class of <strong>2022</strong> have confirmed places at the University of<br />
Toronto, Korea Institute of Science and Technology, University<br />
of Massachusetts Amherst, University of Bath, Royal College of<br />
Surgeons, Ireland and University College Dublin. <strong>The</strong> school’s<br />
University and Careers Counsellor is also finalising placements<br />
for students at Imperial College London, London School of<br />
Economics, National University of Singapore, University of<br />
Edinburgh, University of Sydney and many others.<br />
Being the first SJII in Malaysia, the school is a continuation<br />
of St. John Baptist De La Salle’s 300-year-old education<br />
mission and focuses on producing well-rounded learners at<br />
all levels with its values-centred educational approach that is<br />
based on the very best of the globally-recognised Lasallian<br />
education ethos. An important part of the Lasallian education<br />
is to develop “good character”: a set of core ethical values<br />
that enables students to, not just be successful in exams, but<br />
live fulfilling lives as members of society. Ooi Jun Fong, who<br />
scored 45 points in last year’s IBDP attributes his success to<br />
SJIIM’s maximum effort to engender holistic development<br />
throughout all curriculums. “By resourcefully using every<br />
advantage and opportunity it has to grow students, SJIIM<br />
pushes students to achieve a diverse and compelling range of<br />
success. I truly enjoyed the rigorous yet stimulating nature of<br />
teaching, which aided me to lucidly understand complicated<br />
concepts rather than route memorisation,” says Ooi, who is<br />
now studying Mathematics Operational Research Statistics<br />
and Economics at the University of Warwick in the UK.<br />
For You Jun Ong, who also obtained the perfect score in last<br />
year’s IBDP and is now pursuing law at King’s College London,<br />
“the true gem of SJIIM is the teaching faculty”. He notes that<br />
every SJIIM teacher is patient, considerate, critical yet helpful,<br />
and capable in bestowing upon their students a desire to<br />
learn, a passion to enquire and a heart to serve. “SJIIM had<br />
not only taught me the knowledge across different subjects,<br />
but also provided me with a different perspective to view the<br />
world and a keen eye to critically analyse information, skills<br />
that are sought-after in the real world”.<br />

TROPICANA AND AFFIN BANK<br />
TACKLE HOME FINANCING WITH<br />
HOME STEP FAST/i CAMPAIGN<br />
30<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> has partnered with Affin Bank to<br />
tackle home financing with the <strong>Home</strong> Step Fast/i<br />
campaign. A lifestyle ownership initiative targeted<br />
at first-time homebuyers, young families and<br />
property investors, the <strong>Home</strong> Step Fast/i campaign<br />
allows homebuyers to own their dream home with<br />
lower monthly instalments while enjoying greater<br />
cash flow for five years after vacant possession. <strong>The</strong><br />
initiative comes amid improving market sentiment<br />
with home loan applications on the rise. Joanne<br />
Lee, Senior Managing Director, Marketing & Sales<br />
of <strong>Tropicana</strong> shared more on the partnership and<br />
the Group’s wider strategy supporting the national<br />
home agenda.<br />
“According to Bank Negara Malaysia data, market<br />
sentiment is positive with total loans applied<br />
for property purchases up 9.2% year-on-year<br />
to RM28.6 billion in February and a relatively<br />
low overnight policy rate of 2.00%. <strong>Tropicana</strong>’s<br />
collaboration with Affin Bank is timely with this<br />
rise in demand and conducive environment, as<br />
the <strong>Home</strong> Step Fast/i campaign reduces upfront<br />
payment obligations, easing the home ownership<br />
journey especially for young purchasers and<br />
families. <strong>The</strong> campaign delivers homebuyers<br />
peace of mind by enabling them to enjoy<br />
greater cash flow. This can be utilised on postvacant<br />
possession expenses such as stamp duty<br />
and renovation costs or can be saved for other<br />
expenses while starting their families, careers<br />
or businesses. This collaboration with Affin<br />
Bank is representative of the Group’s focus on<br />
smart partnerships and innovative solutions as it<br />
continues Redefining the Art of Living,” she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Step Fast/i campaign offers ultimate<br />
flexibility with no lock-in period or early<br />
settlement fees and is available as both a<br />
conventional and Islamic financing solution. <strong>The</strong><br />
initiative also offers redraw facilities for excess<br />
payments, as well as a comprehensive suite<br />
of coverage plans such as mortgage reducing<br />
term assurance (“MRTA”), fire insurance and<br />
householder insurance. Interested home seekers<br />

TROPICANA’S MULTI-MILLION MANIA<br />
CAMPAIGN A RESOUNDING SUCCESS<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> marked another exciting milestone with its Multi-<br />
Million Mania campaign, which ran from 21 January <strong>2022</strong><br />
to 17 June <strong>2022</strong>. Offering millions in prizes and vouchers,<br />
the campaign saw resounding success, with RM524.2 mil in<br />
property bookings and RM10.7 mil in retail sales generated<br />
as thousands of happy shoppers and home seekers thronged<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall.<strong>The</strong> campaign attracted over 5,600<br />
participants and concluded with an exciting Grand Draw,<br />
held at the mall on 6 July <strong>2022</strong>. Participants were shortlisted<br />
via Grand Draw, with one lucky winner walking away with<br />
the Grand Prize of an Edelweiss Small Office Flexible Office<br />
(“SOFO”) unit at <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens worth RM519,000.<br />
Andrew Ashvin, Managing Director, Group Assets<br />
Management of <strong>Tropicana</strong> & <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall<br />
shared more on the success of Multi-Million Mania amid<br />
the retail landmark’s continued emphasis on experiential<br />
engagement. “We are overwhelmed with the positive<br />
response to Multi-Million Mania, which we launched as a<br />
way of giving back to our customers and the <strong>Tropicana</strong><br />
community, as well as our property purchasers as a whole.<br />
<strong>The</strong> campaign, in conjunction with our focus on creating<br />
memorable experiences for shoppers, has driven a surge<br />
in footfall to <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall. Daily footfall has<br />
increased a tremendous 241%, from 7,445 visitors daily<br />
in <strong>October</strong> 2021 to 17,995 visitors per day in June <strong>2022</strong>,<br />
underscoring the impact of our focus on Redefining the Art<br />
of Shopping,” he said. Multi-Million Mania entitled property<br />
seekers to 10 entries in its Grand Draw for every purchase<br />
of any <strong>Tropicana</strong> properties during the campaign period. In<br />
total, the initiative saw RM524.2 mil in property bookings,<br />
with Gemala Residences in <strong>Tropicana</strong> Aman, TwinPines<br />
Serviced Suites in <strong>Tropicana</strong> Grandhill and SouthPlace<br />
Residences in <strong>Tropicana</strong> Metropark particularly popular with<br />
home seekers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> campaign’s mechanics also rewarded shoppers at<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall with daily prizes, as well as a chance<br />
at the Grand Prize. A proxy representative accepted the<br />
Grand Draw prize on behalf of Multi-Million Mania winner<br />
Ho Lee See, who was notified of her success via video call.“I<br />
had the chance to join this campaign because I purchased<br />
a unit at TwinPines Serviced Suites at <strong>Tropicana</strong> Grandhill,<br />
Genting Highlands. I was getting ready to drive home when I<br />
got the call. I’ve never won a lucky draw before, so I couldn’t<br />
believe it and was so happy to hear that I really won. I’d like<br />
to say thank you so much to <strong>Tropicana</strong> for my new unit at<br />
Edelweiss SOFO, <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens,” she said.<br />

<strong>Tropicana</strong> recently celebrated two prominent awards<br />
for <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens, its vibrant residential and<br />
commercial landmark in <strong>Tropicana</strong> Indah. <strong>The</strong> Group<br />
gained global recognition at the International Property<br />
Awards <strong>2022</strong>-2023 held at the Sheraton Grand<br />
London, United Kingdom, when <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens<br />
was awarded the coveted international 5-Star Award<br />
in the Best Mixed Use Development Malaysia category.<br />
<strong>The</strong> win represented <strong>Tropicana</strong>’s 13th victorious<br />
year in the Asia Pacific Property Awards, the largest<br />
branch of the International Property Awards. To<br />
add more good news, <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Office<br />
Tower’s stellar design earned the Silver Award in the<br />
Corporate Offices category at the Malaysian Institute<br />
of Interior Designers (“MIID”) REKA Awards. Joanne<br />
Lee, Senior Managing Director, Marketing & Sales of<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> elaborated on the vision driving design<br />
and value for purchasers and stakeholders across the<br />
Group’s portfolio.<br />
“From the get-go, <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens was designed<br />
with people in mind, centred around the Group’s eight<br />
unique development DNAs. Towards this end, we always<br />
strive to create the best communal living environment,<br />
emphasising connectivity, generous open spaces, and<br />
innovative concepts and design. For its office tower,<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong>’s management aimed to foster a conducive<br />
working environment, integrating ample amenities<br />
and facilities and placing everything within reach for<br />
the convenience of employees and visitors. To achieve<br />
this, we worked with one of the best interior designers<br />
in the industry to create an ideal workspace to live,<br />
learn and prosper in, as we continue Redefining the<br />
Art of Living,” she said. <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens aligns with<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong>’s approach to environmental, social and<br />
governance (“ESG”) principles through its sustainable<br />
design, as recognised in its Gold Green Building Index<br />
(“GBI”) certification for three residential towers and<br />
Silver certification for other components, as well as<br />
GreenRE Silver certification for Edelweiss SOFO<br />
& Serviced Residences, <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens. Other<br />
sustainable features include low-emissivity glass in the<br />
development’s façade, LED lighting fixtures, rainwater<br />
harvesting and regenerative lifts.<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Office Tower also features<br />
Greenguard-certified interior fixtures and finishings,<br />
including laminates, carpets, flooring and vinyl,<br />
promoting a healthier working environment and<br />
well-being for tenants and staff through the reduction<br />
of volatile organic compound (“VOC”) emissions.<br />
Meanwhile, the Zen garden aesthetic and modern<br />
outlook of <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Office Tower were<br />
highlighted at the MIID REKA Awards. Designed by the<br />
Group’s appointed interior design consultant, SL Group<br />
Design, the office tower’s elevated conference room<br />
at the Level 12 Experiential Hall garnered particular<br />
praise, drawing inspiration from the effortless<br />
grace and flowing curves of a waterlily floating on a<br />
garden pond.<br />

CAMPING<br />
Glamping allows you to experience nature without<br />
sacrificing creature comforts<br />
Glamping makes<br />
your camping<br />
experience<br />
comfortable and<br />
luxurious<br />
Pitching a tent on the hard ground and roughing<br />
it for a few nights might not be everyone’s idea of<br />
fun in the great outdoors. Glamping, on the other<br />
hand, appeals to a wide range of people. Rather than<br />
roughing it in the wilderness, glamping allows you to<br />
enjoy the outdoors without giving up all the creature<br />
comforts you’ve come to expect from a conventional<br />
camping trip. A combination of “glamorous” and<br />
“camping”, glamping defines a kind of camping<br />
that includes amenities and, occasionally, resortlike<br />
services that are not typically associated with<br />
“classic” camping. Millennial holidaymakers who<br />
seek both the comforts of a hotel and the escape<br />
and adventurous recreation of camping have made<br />
glamping popular. With glamping, you can stay in a<br />
variety of lodgings, including yurts, RVs, airstreams,<br />
and more permanent options like cabins or tents.<br />
What they all have in common is that they offer a<br />
more luxurious camping experience than traditional<br />
camping, yet they still allow you to connect with<br />
nature.<br />

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER <strong>2022</strong> SOJOURN<br />
Among the places where you can camp the<br />
fancy way is in Genting Highlands, a renowned<br />
tourist destination that’s only 45 minutes away<br />
from Kuala Lumpur. <strong>The</strong> fresh mountain air is<br />
one of the main draws for visitors, but there<br />
are plenty of other things to do here, including<br />
dining, shopping as well as having fun at the<br />
indoor and outdoor theme parks. Another<br />
fantastic feature of Genting Highlands is the<br />
ease with which you can go trekking in the<br />
surrounding area and even hike to nearby<br />
waterfalls. This makes it popular among both<br />
nature enthusiasts and city dwellers seeking<br />
serenity away from the bustling city.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are two places to consider if you want<br />
to go glamping in Genting Highlands. Glamz<br />
At Genting is a glamping-style lodge hidden<br />
beneath a blanket of shimmering stars in<br />
the cool foothills of Genting Highlands. This<br />
nature-inspired glamping site is surrounded by<br />
lush foliage but has hotel-like amenities such<br />
as hot water, WiFi, electricity, water supply,<br />
and clean toilets. This glamping location<br />
provides a one-of-a-kind experience ideal for<br />
stargazing, sunset or sunrise viewing.<br />
is another option, offering lodging with<br />
free WiFi, private parking, and get this,<br />
access to a hot tub! Each suite has its<br />
own bathroom with a hot tub, as well as<br />
slippers, a hairdryer, and complimentary<br />
toiletries. <strong>The</strong> experience of glamping is<br />
comparable to that of staying in a hotel,<br />
with the added bonus of being surrounded<br />
by nature and breathing in fresh, clean air.<br />
What more could you ask for?<br />
• Glamz at Genting is 1.9 km<br />
away from <strong>Tropicana</strong> Grandhill.<br />
• Rustcamps Glamping Resort<br />
is about 1 km away from<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> Grandhill.<br />

Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa’s dedication<br />
to sustainability is evident in its variety of<br />
curated guest experiences. All excursions<br />
are conducted without any plastic bottles<br />
or disposals, and bento boxes are used to<br />
carry food and water. Local fishing trips use<br />
traditional Maldivian methods like hand lines,<br />
hooks, sinkers, and bait. Fish that do not<br />
meet the minimum length or are a protected<br />
species are released. Guests are only<br />
permitted to keep one catch per villa and the<br />
rest will be released. Coral reef monitoring,<br />
based on the Australian programme ‘Coral<br />
Watch’, is conducted every month at the<br />
resort's house reef, which is surrounded by<br />
powder-white sand beaches. This is done<br />
to help protect the natural environment<br />
of Hadahaa private island. <strong>The</strong> removal of<br />
threatening species from the coral reef,<br />
such as the Crown of Thorns sea star and<br />
the Drupella sea snail, is conducted on a<br />
weekly basis. Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa<br />
is also involved in the ‘Reef & Me’ project,<br />
which provides awareness and education<br />
to local school children about the coral reef<br />
ecosystems. <strong>The</strong> resort’s staff give talks<br />
on reef sustainability at schools on two<br />
nearby islands, while a marine biologist<br />
gives twice-weekly ‘Go Deeper’ talks to<br />
guests at the resort to educate them about<br />
the environment.<br />

Six Senses Con Dao, located in a protected national marine park<br />

Leisure World’s Best Awards. Noted for its efforts to conserve<br />
endangered green turtles and for being 99 percent plastic free,<br />
the resort has pledged to further minimise its carbon footprint<br />
with numerous energy and environmental initiatives. Hatching<br />
rates are exceeding records at the Let’s Get Cracking turtle egg<br />
incubation centre, reaching over 95 per cent. Last year, more<br />
than 1,000 turtles were successfully released back into the<br />
protected waters in association with the National Park. Guests<br />
visiting Six Senses Con Dao this year will be welcomed with a<br />
variety of new amenities and experiences that go well with the<br />
surrounding environment and the organic wellness way of life<br />
the resort advocates. A new dining experience is also ready to<br />
launch. Dining Under <strong>The</strong> Stars provides a chance to dine from the<br />
rooftops of the By the Beach restaurant, offering contemporary<br />
international and Vietnamese cuisines with a panoramic view as<br />
the sun sinks into the ocean. Up to four people can enjoy this,<br />
adding to the already popular Chef’s Table, Wine Cellar, Sense<br />
of Gardening, By the Market, and Private In-Residence and<br />
Beach Dining guest experiences. <strong>The</strong> resort is also excited to<br />
add an exclusive beach escapade at Hideaway Beach, situated<br />
past the headland of Lo Voi Mountain. With options for a private<br />
eco-BBQ or an organic picnic, it is ideal for anyone looking for<br />
a desert island experience.<br />

implemented several waste-reduction measures; guests<br />
can enjoy fresh seasonal fruits that are imperfect in<br />
appearance but perfect in taste, which would otherwise<br />
be discarded by producers or grocers at the Lobby<br />

Read on for an overview of the hazards at this<br />
year’s major golf tournament venues<br />
SOUTHERN HILLS COUNTRY CLUB IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA, USA<br />
<strong>The</strong> golf course at Southern Hills is without a doubt challenging. From the back tees at<br />
Southern Hills, a player with a five index would have a course handicap of 13, according<br />
to golf statistics specialist Lou Stagner, and that’s without taking major championship<br />
conditions into account. <strong>The</strong> greens are tricky, and approach shots that miss the target<br />
are penalised as they settle in a variety of collection zones. Reports suggest that<br />
the majority of the fairways on the course are sloped, and level lays are uncommon.<br />
Moreover, the length of the course is 7,556 yards to be exact. All of these add up to a<br />
significant test. <strong>The</strong> bunkers surrounding the greens, though, may turn out to be the<br />
most challenging task players have recently encountered. <strong>The</strong> sand is a little darker<br />
than what elite players are used to. Instead of pearly white silt, these bunkers are dark<br />
in colour, which poses a distinct difficulty for golfers. As English professional golfer,<br />
Ian Poulter noted on social media, the “coarse fine gravel type sand” makes controlling<br />
spin while coming out of the bunker extremely tough.<br />

OLD COURSE, ST ANDREWS IN SCOTLAND<br />
One of the most notorious golfing hazards in the<br />
world can be found on the long 14th hole of the<br />
Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland, the world’s<br />
oldest golf course where the first documented<br />
rounds of golf here date back to 1552! Dubbed<br />
“Hell”, this expansive bunker may be found lurking<br />
in a depression approximately 100 yards before<br />
the putting area. <strong>The</strong> Entertainment and Sports<br />
Programming Network (ESPN) once said of the<br />
course, “No other golf course has as many famous<br />
landmarks as (the Old Course) St. Andrews, its 112<br />
bunkers and endless hills and hollows have been<br />
cursed for centuries, and many have their own<br />
names and legends.” Reports say that the bunkers at<br />
St Andrews are one of the course’s most important<br />
defences, but they also serve as landmarks to<br />
be noted and avoided for successful Old Course<br />
navigation. Apparently, Tiger Woods did not find a<br />
single bunker during the four days of competition<br />
in 2000 and went on to win by eight, with a record<br />
total of 19-under-par. It was a notable achievement,<br />
as avoiding the 112 sand hazards surrounding St.<br />
Andrews needs a combination of clear thinking,<br />
strategy, and accurate hitting. Throughout the<br />
years, the Old Course bunkers at St. Andrews have<br />
determined the outcome of numerous tournaments.<br />

<strong>The</strong> US Open this year<br />
was held at <strong>The</strong> Country<br />
Club in Brookline for the<br />
first time in 34 years. <strong>The</strong><br />
course at this historic location<br />
presented several obstacles to all of the<br />
golfers participating in the tournament. <strong>The</strong><br />
Country Club golf course has narrow landing<br />
spots and thick, lush rough surrounding the<br />
greens, according to a report, but there is one<br />
area that presents the greatest challenge. “It’s<br />
the small, tilty greens. I mean, they are tiny,” said<br />
well-known American golf architect, Gil Hanse<br />
during an interview with <strong>The</strong> Fried Egg podcast<br />
when he was asked what makes <strong>The</strong> Country Club<br />
challenging. <strong>The</strong> 122nd US Open, held in June and<br />
won by Matt Fitzpatrick, was unlike prior events<br />
held at <strong>The</strong> Country Club, as Gil spearheaded the<br />
restoration effort beginning in 2009, just as he<br />
did at Southern Hills. <strong>The</strong> Championship Course<br />
has had hundreds of trees chopped down, the<br />
greens have been enlarged, and the short, par-3<br />

A green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource<br />
consumption - energy, water, and materials - while minimising the<br />
building’s impact on human health and the environment throughout<br />
its lifecycle. This is accomplished through improved siting, design,<br />
construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. In accordance<br />
with the GBI evaluation system, points are awarded for achieving<br />
and adopting environmentally friendly features that exceed existing<br />
industry standards. In addition, GBI is a rating system that integrates<br />
the most recent internationally acknowledged best practises in<br />
environmental design and performance. Buildings are rated Platinum,<br />
Gold, Silver, or Certified based on specific standards established by the<br />
GBI body. This does not end after the building is completed; buildings<br />
must be re-assessed every three years to preserve their ratings. This<br />
guarantees that buildings are properly maintained.<br />

an optimal sleeping environment are all<br />
characteristics of Roviva’s products. Not to<br />
be outdone is Armani Casa’s Morfeo bed,<br />
which is inspired by the notion of a floating<br />
bed and is made possible by the headboard<br />
and footboard’s thin, gently curved design.<br />

YUNA’S<br />
HIGH FIVE<br />
<strong>The</strong> global pause caused by the<br />
pandemic was a blessing in disguise<br />
for superstar Yuna<br />
Yuna will release her fifth album, Y5, in the form<br />
of four EPs and a final album throughout <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 35-year-old is recording the songs in stages<br />
and will be releasing the new music in bite-sized<br />
collections, which will allow each track to be<br />
memorable in its own right. <strong>The</strong> first, titled Y1, was<br />
released in March and featured three songs: Hello,<br />
Pantone 17 13 30, and Cigarette.<br />
Although the pandemic presented challenges<br />
for musicians, the situation was beneficial for<br />
homegrown songstress-turned-international<br />
superstar, Yuna. Finding herself no longer<br />
in constant motion helped the musician in<br />
re-balancing her priorities and redefined how<br />
Yuna wishes to approach her career as a musician<br />
going forward. After spending 10 years on the<br />
road, particularly in the US where she is based<br />
in Los Angeles, Yuna returned home to Kuala<br />
Lumpur in March 2020 for 18 months.<br />
Because she had nothing much to do, the<br />
alternative R&B artist turned her father’s office<br />
into a studio and taught herself how to produce<br />
music. “It was like the first few months when I<br />
realised that I learnt how to write songs,” Yuna<br />
recalls. “I discovered something new about<br />
myself, that I can produce. And now I can write,<br />
and I don’t have to depend on anyone else for<br />
music.<br />
"I was streaming my studio sessions for my fans<br />
on Twitch and I kept thinking, ‘How do I want to<br />
release this album? Do I want to keep it a secret<br />
and two years later we have an album?’ I decided<br />
I can’t do that anymore. <strong>The</strong>re’s something very<br />
powerful about being an independent artist and<br />
knowing I can do this my own way.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> second, Y2, which dropped two months later<br />
featured three more songs: Girl U Used to Know,<br />
24hours, and Make a Move. Yuna’s outstanding<br />
path from aspiring musician to established artist<br />
and producer is evident on Y5, an album that<br />
marks the beginning of a new chapter in her career.<br />
“Making this album takes me back to that time<br />
when I was an independent artist making music in<br />
my bedroom in Malaysia,” Yuna reflects. “To come<br />
from Malaysia and be able to build a career out of<br />
my music is incredible. I’ve been making music for<br />
15 years, but I’m still learning.<br />
"Now, I want to focus on making things that make<br />
me happy, instead of the things that make me<br />
stressed out. I want to find that balance. With this<br />
new album, I feel reborn as an artist.” Apart from<br />
her innovative new release strategy, Yuna has long<br />
been a fashion trendsetter, using her influence to<br />
talk about biased beauty standards in Asia and<br />
making modest attire more stylish.<br />
She has even garnered the attention of luxury<br />
fashion house Chanel, which extended an invitation<br />
to her to attend the Spring/Summer 2020 runway<br />
show at the Grand Palais in Paris. High five, Yuna!<br />

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER <strong>2022</strong> DIY<br />
MOONCAKE<br />
MADE EASY<br />
Snow skin mooncake is not only delicious but simple to<br />
make as it needs no baking and requires few ingredients<br />
72<br />
Mooncakes are often expensive due to their<br />
exclusivity. So this season, why not try your<br />
hand at making your own mooncakes? <strong>The</strong> best<br />
part is that they only require several ingredients<br />
and a few hours of your time to make! Less than<br />
10 ingredients are needed to make snow skin<br />
mooncakes, and no baking is required. Served<br />
chilled, they have a powdered or “snowy”<br />
appearance that make them look delicate, not<br />
to mention delicious!<br />
INGREDIENTS<br />
100g roasted glutinous rice flour<br />
90g icing sugar<br />
30g shortening<br />
150ml cold water<br />
Filling of your choice. Choose from lotus paste,<br />
red bean, matcha, and more, many of which are<br />
readily available at most supermarkets. Food<br />
colouring or flavour drops like green tea, rose,<br />
and vanilla are other options to consider.<br />
MAKING THE DOUGH<br />
In a mixing bowl, sift the roasted glutinous rice<br />
flour and icing sugar. Rub the shortening into<br />
the flour mixture until the consistency looks<br />
like coarse bread crumbs. Mix in the cold water<br />
one tablespoon at a time, and if you want, you<br />
can add food colouring or flavouring. Knead the<br />
dough until it becomes soft. Put the dough in<br />
the fridge for 30 minutes to let it rest.<br />
DIVIDE DOUGH AND FILLING<br />
Based on the size of the mooncake moulds,<br />
divide the dough and the filling. <strong>The</strong> proper ratio<br />
is one part dough to two parts filling.<br />
FORMING THE MOONCAKE<br />
Make a thin circle out of the ball of snow skin. Put<br />
the filling ball in the middle of the dough, and<br />
then cover the filling with more dough. Place the<br />
ball with the seam facing up in the floured mould<br />
(sprinkle the mould with roasted glutinous rice<br />
flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the<br />
mould) and gently press it in. Turn it over and<br />
put it on something flat. Press down hard on the<br />
mooncake mould’s lever so that the shape of a<br />
mooncake is made, and the faceplate makes an<br />
imprint. <strong>The</strong>n squeeze the mould to open it up<br />
and take out your mooncake. Do this with the<br />
rest of the dough. Put in the fridge for six hours<br />
before serving.<br />
• To reduce the sugar level of the snow skin<br />
mooncake, use fruits or dried fruits as the filling.<br />
You can also add nuts or seeds to increase fibre<br />
and nutrient content.<br />
• Snow skin mooncakes are best eaten the day<br />
they are made. If you have leftovers, keep them<br />
in an airtight container and store them in the<br />
fridge. <strong>The</strong>y will keep for about three days. You<br />
can also freeze them for up to two weeks.
TROPICANA MAGAZINE<br />
MOONCAKE BITES<br />
• Mooncakes are seasonal and are normally available<br />
one month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, also<br />
known as the Mooncake Festival, which falls on the<br />
15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar<br />
calendar (or sometime from <strong>September</strong> to <strong>October</strong>).<br />
• In Chinese culture, the full moon is associated with<br />
prosperity. <strong>The</strong> round shape of mooncakes is a symbol<br />
of family unity.<br />
• In 2017, Malaysian bakery Leong Yin Pastry made a<br />
massive mooncake tagged at a whopping RM3,888.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 1.2kg mooncake named Zhen Yue was loaded with<br />
cordyceps, ginseng, saffron, royal jelly, molasses, lotus<br />
seed, jujube, longan, and 24K edible gold, along with<br />
other Chinese herbs.<br />

MAN OF THE<br />
HOUSE<br />
Soffurni has grown from a 388 sq ft shop to four<br />
locations in the Klang Valley, including its new Spaces<br />
& Senses showroom at <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall. Its<br />
founder, Jack Liew tells us more<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is more to running a successful furniture business than merely offering attractive<br />
pieces. Most furniture purchasers view their purchase as the start of a long-term<br />
relationship, which is why it’s important that the products leave a favourable impression.<br />
At Soffurni, you will not only be pleased with its multi-brand merchandise, but also by<br />
the customer service that is provided there. “What separates us from the competition is<br />
the hardworking and talented group of people who work for Soffurni,” says its founder,<br />
Jack Liew of the furniture and soft furnishings retail brand. In order to better enlighten<br />
our clients and help them make informed decisions, we regularly share our expertise,<br />
case studies in design, solutions, and top-notch service and support with them. In short,<br />
we’re continuously improving our team’s knowledge and expertise, and ready to serve<br />
when customers reach us”. Soffurni also invests a significant amount of time and energy<br />
into the selection of the manufacturers with whom it collaborates. “This is done to ensure<br />
that the brands that we work with can provide customer care and support in addition<br />
to producing products of premium quality.” Soffurni, short for “soft and furnishing”, was<br />
established in December 2015.<br />

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER <strong>2022</strong> COVER STORY<br />
It has its roots in a modest, 388 sq ft store at Viva <strong>Home</strong><br />
mall in Cheras, and it used to specialise in mattresses<br />
until it opened the Soffurni Spaces & Senses showroom<br />
at EkoCheras mall in 2019 to expand its selection to<br />
include living and dining room options. <strong>The</strong> second<br />
Soffurni Spaces & Senses showroom is at <strong>Tropicana</strong><br />
Gardens Mall. “<strong>The</strong> market is paying more attention to<br />
us as a result of our new concept, which is helping us<br />
grow more quickly,” says the soft-spoken gentleman<br />
who hails from Sitiawan, Perak. He adds that in a world<br />
that is constantly changing, it is imperative that Soffurni<br />
continues to keep giving its customers new reasons to be<br />
excited. “In the past, we tried to have as many common<br />
brands and products as possible in our showroom so that<br />
we could be a convenient, one-stop shop.<br />
Now, our direction is to offer a mix of common and<br />
extraordinary brands and products to spice up what we<br />
have to offer. This is the reason why we brought in a<br />
home theatre room set with the Devialet sound system<br />
from France, Roviva bedding from Switzerland, and<br />
Bomma lighting from the Czech Republic to enrich our<br />
customers’ experience and selection,” he explains. In<br />
Malaysia, Soffurni is the sole distributor for Bomma and<br />
Roviva. It is also the sole distributor in Singapore for the<br />
latter. <strong>The</strong> other brands available at Soffurni are Getha,<br />
Natura, King Koil, Chester London, Laveo, <strong>The</strong>rmos,<br />
Gaias, and Soffurni Stone collection.<br />
area are more likely to place higher importance on quality<br />
than on price, which is consistent with both our retail<br />
offering and our brand positioning”. Soffurni, like most<br />
other businesses, has had its share of issues, the worst of<br />
which was when the Covid-19 pandemic struck. “During<br />
the MCO (Movement Control Order) period we did not<br />
make any money. But thanks to our solid relationship with<br />
banks, we were able to get their support with additional<br />
funds for us to get through the challenging period. We<br />
also launched a café next to one of our stores shortly after<br />
the first MCO, and the café not only serves as a revenue<br />
contributor to the business during the second MCO, but<br />
it also brings more attention and traffic to Soffurni. Very<br />
soon, we will open Caveman Coffee, which is part of the<br />
Soffurni company, next to every Soffurni store,” explains<br />
Jack. According to him, there will be a Caveman Coffee<br />
at <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall by the end of the year. And,<br />
in 2024, Jack hopes to have a Soffurni showroom in<br />
Singapore. “We have big plans for Soffurni, like entering<br />
the Singapore market in two years’ time, and going into<br />
the hotel business. It would make sense for us to expand<br />
into the hotel industry, given that we already offer furniture<br />
and soft furnishings. Having our own hotel would be the<br />
perfect setting for potential customers to test out the<br />
products that we sell.”<br />
78<br />
<strong>The</strong> 5,736 sq ft Soffurni Spaces & Senses showroom<br />
in <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall, which opened its doors in<br />
<strong>October</strong> last year, is divided into four main sections namely<br />
bedroom, living room, dining room, and accessories.<br />
Here, Soffurni showcases its first ever luxurious home<br />
theatre room set, which is truly remarkable. With a 120-<br />
inch projector screen coupled with cinema reclining beds<br />
from Getha, and customisable reclining seats from Laveo,<br />
plus the intensely immersive Devialet sound system,<br />
you can now bring the entire cinematic experience into<br />
your home! “We were always thinking about opening a<br />
Soffurni Spaces & Senses showroom in the Damansara<br />
area. <strong>The</strong> primary factor that led to us settling on<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall is the manner in which the mall’s<br />
management operates; they are always willing to discuss<br />
new opportunities and are extremely welcoming to small<br />
businesses such as ours, as opposed to focusing solely<br />
on the interests of large enterprises,” Jack, 34, explains.<br />
Because of its excellent location, design, and construction,<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall is without a doubt an ideal place<br />
in which to establish a brand, he adds. “Residents in the<br />

Pamper yourself with Bathing Tapir’s<br />
handmade soaps crafted with love
TROPICANA MAGAZINE<br />
Research has shown that the skin is a major pathway for<br />
the absorption of toxins. <strong>The</strong>se toxins can be eliminated<br />
from the body only through healthy lifestyle choices, such<br />
as consuming plenty of purified water and nutritious foods.<br />
If you want to further reduce your exposure to hazardous<br />
substances, switching to soaps with natural ingredients<br />
could be a good idea. Say hello to Bathing Tapir, a local<br />
brand that offers a range of vegan and biodegradable<br />
soaps made with natural ingredients derived from plants.<br />
No parabens, petroleum, phthalates, or other potentially<br />
dangerous chemicals or preservatives are present in the<br />
products. In the same manner that the critically endangered<br />
Malayan tapir requires the utmost loving care from humans,<br />
these products adhere to the principle of providing the<br />
simplest and most natural approach to beauty.<br />
Grapefruit sea cucumber soap<br />
Bathing Tapir’s soaps are also formulated with flowers and<br />
natural essential oils to improve the scent and appearance<br />
of skin. Another advantage is that these soaps can be used<br />
on both the face and the body. Given that different essential<br />
oils have varied benefits, select the one that best meets<br />
your needs based on the benefits. For example, the Papaya<br />
Essential Oil Soap is ideal for sensitive or combination skin.<br />
Many benefits of papaya can be attributed to the high<br />
content of vitamins A, B, and C. Its proteolytic enzymes,<br />
such as papain and chymopapain also have antibacterial,<br />
antifungal, and antiviral properties. <strong>The</strong>se antioxidants can<br />
help fight free radical damage, which may help your skin<br />
remain smooth and youthful.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lemon Essential Oil Soap contains vitamin C and<br />
antioxidants that may help reduce skin damage and<br />
premature ageing. Due to its high pH levels, lemon can<br />
also minimise oil production and inflammation on the skin.<br />
Suitable for all skin types is the Honey Pumpkin Essential Oil<br />
Soap. Honey can effectively lock in moisture to keep the skin<br />
plump and glowing. Pumpkin contains enzymes that help to<br />
naturally exfoliate skin and promote collagen production,<br />
thus improving skin tone and elasticity. Zinc and potassium<br />
in pumpkin are also good to reduce redness. Another<br />
wonder product is the Grapefruit Sea Cucumber Soap.<br />
Sea cucumber essence provides unrivalled moisturisation,<br />
while the purifying characteristics of grapefruit leave skin<br />
looking fresh and radiant. This soap has a combination<br />
of skin whitening and skin nourishing properties, both of<br />
which help to keep skin healthy and luminous. Bathing Tapir<br />
also sells bath balls, bath salts, and shampoo bars, among<br />
other products.<br />

as a nutritionist to create products that are not only beneficial to the<br />
skin, but also encourage creative expression. Since then, its quirky and<br />
whimsical products, which can be personalised have won the hearts of<br />

EXERCISE<br />
FOR MENTAL<br />
HEALTH<br />
Exercise is essential for your overall health,<br />
including your mental well-being<br />
PUSH-UPS<br />
To perform a proper push-up, you must first know<br />
how to do it correctly. Plank your body, keeping your<br />
back and arms straight. When you push up and down,<br />
make sure your elbows are bent to a 90-degree<br />
angle every time. Do two sets of push-ups two to<br />
three times a week. Push-ups for women should be<br />
performed for four to eight repetitions every set,<br />
while for men the goal should be 10 to 15. When<br />
you do push-ups, your concentration, productivity,<br />
creativity, and capacity tocommunicate all improve.<br />
This is in addition to the obvious<br />
benefits of increasing your heart health.<br />
WALKING<br />
Cardiovascular activity, which improves<br />
heart health while also burning calories,<br />
should be a part of every fitness regimen.<br />
Walking is a low-impact exercise that can<br />
be done anywhere, at any time, with only a<br />
pair of comfortable shoes. Even a 10-minute<br />
walk at a vigorous pace improves mental<br />
clarity, stamina, and positive mood.<br />
According to scientific research, three<br />
45-minute workouts per week (135<br />
minutes total) are enough to enhance<br />
mental health and fight depression.<br />
<strong>The</strong> best part is that being active does<br />
not necessarily involve sports or the<br />
gym. Find the physical activity that<br />
works best for you. You can count any<br />
action that elevates your heart rate,<br />
makes you breathe faster, and makes<br />
you feel warmer exercise.<br />
RUNNING<br />
After receiving a diagnosis of ADHD, a<br />
documentary photographer named Martin<br />
Eberleen discovered that jogging was the most<br />
beneficial form of exercise for him. In an interview<br />
with BBC News, he said, “Running helps me<br />
control my thoughts, it slows me down and gives<br />
me the opportunity to focus on the things I need<br />
to focus on.” In addition, a review article that<br />
was published in the International Journal of<br />
Environmental Research and Public Health came<br />
to the conclusion that “overall, studies suggest<br />
that running bouts of variable lengths and<br />
intensities, and running interventions can improve<br />
mood and mental health.”

ADVERTORIAL<br />
Smooth as Silk<br />
IPL<br />
IPL or Intense Pulsed Light is a type of light treatment that<br />
uses strong pulses of light to stimulate or treat various<br />
issues within the skin. It directs light at the pigmentation<br />
in the hair follicle, causing a burst of heat that damages<br />
or kills the cells that cause hair to grow. <strong>The</strong> light emitted<br />
from an IPL device is absorbed by the pigment in the hair,<br />
causing a build-up of energy which turns to heat. <strong>The</strong> heat<br />
travels down the hair and disables or destroys the cells<br />
that make new ones. With IPL, you can expect permanent<br />
result and be on your way to smooth, hair-free skin.<br />
Waxing<br />
Unlike shaving, you don’t run the risk of any cuts or<br />
nicks with waxing. Waxing is a form of hair removal<br />
which removes hair right from the root of the follicle.<br />
It is best for those who have sensitive skin and even<br />
those with blemish-prone skin. In comparison, waxing<br />
last longer as hair is removed from the follicle whereas<br />
with shaving, only hair above the skin is removed,<br />
leaving your skin feeling rough and irritated. Waxing<br />
leaves you smoother longer and over time, unwanted<br />
hair grows back thinner and sparser, and in some cases,<br />
don’t grow back at all.

GREEN<br />
LIVING TIPS<br />
Sustainable and eco-friendly living is possible if you<br />
make the proper changes, and here are some pointers<br />
Compost scraps By composting your<br />
food scraps, you can drastically cut<br />
the amount of greenhouse gases<br />
created by landfills. Keep a small bin<br />
just for scraps of food, and make your<br />
own compost. Use it as a natural nontoxic<br />
fertiliser in your garden.<br />
Purify the air If you want to improve<br />
the air quality in your bedroom,<br />
consider a snake plant, which<br />
releases oxygen at night. Weeping<br />
figs are the best plant for eliminating<br />
formaldehyde generated by carpets<br />
and furniture, making them suitable<br />
for living areas. Peace lilies grow<br />
well in high-humidity rooms and can<br />
minimise the mould spores in the air,<br />
making them perfect for bathrooms.<br />
Go natural Instead of using<br />
cleaning products that are loaded<br />
with chemicals that pollute the<br />
environment, try using natural<br />
alternatives. Baking soda, lemon<br />
juice, and white vinegar are all<br />
examples of mild cleaners that are<br />
not only harmless to the environment<br />
but also to pets and other animals.<br />
Utilise leftovers Use up any leftover<br />
cooked meals. Make a smoothie<br />
out of any remaining fruit, and use<br />
any leftover vegetables in a soup,<br />
vegetable bake, or frittata for breakfast<br />
the following day. Stock can be made<br />
from a variety of ingredients, including<br />
bones and vegetable trimmings.<br />
Preserve your greens Here’s how to<br />
extend the shelf life of your leafy greens,<br />
carrots, and potatoes: Carrots should be<br />
stored in a jar of water, greens should<br />
be wrapped in a napkin to absorb<br />
excess moisture, and potatoes should<br />
be placed in a cool dry spot, away from<br />
onions.<br />
Buy fair trade Much of what we<br />
consume daily is imported from all<br />
over the world, including coffee, tea,<br />
chocolate, vegetables, and fruits.<br />
Before you buy, look for the fairtrade<br />
certification. <strong>The</strong> certification<br />
demonstrates environmentally friendly<br />
products that are cultivated or made<br />
using sustainable methods, and that<br />
locals are given fair prices and wages<br />
for the goods and services.<br />
Plant your own fruits, veggies, and<br />
herbs Nothing beats the satisfaction<br />
of walking out to your own garden and<br />
gathering the ingredients you require<br />
right there. It’s not only fresh, flavourful,<br />
and clean, but it also generates very<br />
little waste.<br />
Buy wisely Food waste is a global<br />
problem, and organic waste in landfills<br />
contributes to the release of methane.<br />
What you can do to help is keep track<br />
of what you have in your pantry and<br />
fridge, and create a precise shopping<br />
list, so you don’t end up purchasing<br />
duplicate or unnecessary items.<br />
Upcycle Using your “stuff” for longer<br />
without making any adjustments,<br />
consuming less to reduce waste, or<br />
upcycling using only already existing<br />
materials that might otherwise be<br />
thrown away are all simple ways to live<br />
more sustainably. Many items, from<br />
furniture to clothing, can be upcycled,<br />
repurposed or restored. Put your<br />
creative skills to use, and we guarantee<br />
you will have a good time!<br />
Change or clean air filters Did you<br />
know that the air conditioner is the<br />
most energy-intensive appliance in<br />
your home? And when its filters are<br />
dirty, it requires even much power than<br />
usual. To save energy, clean or replace<br />
dirty filters as recommended.<br />

In light of the fact that post-pandemic travel choices are either limited or inconvenient,<br />
why not take a journey throughout Malaysia in style and comfort? We’re talking about<br />
hitting the highways in a luxurious motorhome or caravan. Some of these lavish homes<br />
on wheels, that costs millions of Ringgit each, are equipped with modern features,<br />
just like the ones you would find in your own home. <strong>The</strong>se include bedrooms, baths,<br />
kitchens and more! An example is the Buccaneer, dubbed the UK’s most luxurious<br />
touring caravan. Big, bold and beautiful, Buccaneer models come in a variety of eight<br />
feet-wide layouts to appeal to couples and families alike. Every single model in the<br />
Buccaneer series is loaded to the brim with top-notch technology, stylish detail, and a<br />
multitude of features designed to make you smile from ear to ear. Plus, the kitchen has<br />
all the necessary appliances you’ll ever need and storage space too!<br />

One of the models, the Buccaneer Bermuda elevates<br />
the art of lounging. <strong>The</strong> L-shaped lounge, complete<br />
with dedicated entertainment area and 32-inch TV, is<br />
the centrepiece of this striking design concept. During<br />
the night, the sofa may easily be transformed into a<br />
cosy double bed. With retractable transverse island<br />
bed, the rear double bedroom offers plenty of natural<br />
light and space. Split-style washrooms are available<br />
in the Bermuda, making it possible to use it as either<br />
an en-suite or a family bathroom. <strong>The</strong>n there is the<br />
Buccaneer Barracuda. This caravan may be divided<br />
up to offer en-suite facilities for guests, thanks to the<br />
separate bathroom and shower cubicle located in the<br />
middle of the vehicle.<br />
Coachman’s Lusso is another British-built luxury tourer<br />
with multi-berth flexibility that feels like it has a leg<br />
up on its competitors. Thanks to its wide bodyshell,<br />
the fixed island double bed can be positioned<br />
transversely, resulting in a shorter footprint. This<br />
enables Coachman to construct the Lusso on a singleaxle<br />
platform, which helps to save weight. In the rear<br />
is a full-width bathroom, while the L-shaped seating<br />
arrangement maximises the open-plan front living<br />
area. What’s more, the Lusso is available with 4G WiFi,<br />
air conditioning, and a self-levelling system. Equally<br />
cool is caravan brand Compass. Its Casita model is<br />
a fantastic travelling trailer with ample space for a<br />
growing family.<br />
A spacious lounge and a separate dining room are<br />
located across the kitchen. A separate fixed corner<br />
double bed is located in the back, along with a large<br />
washroom for an en-suite effect. With separate living<br />
areas for children and adults, a big bathroom for<br />
washing younger children at the end of the day’s<br />
activities, and a comfy bed that doesn’t need to be<br />
made up, this design concept is the gold standard for<br />
young families.

Conscious of the impact our operations have on the<br />
natural environment that surrounds us, <strong>Tropicana</strong><br />
strives to ensure that everything we do is performed<br />
with sustainability in mind. As a leading developer<br />
in Malaysia, <strong>Tropicana</strong> is committed to travel on<br />
a path of sustainable growth, keenly balancing<br />
commercial success as well as social and environmental<br />
responsibilities. As our development portfolio continues<br />
to expand and grow, we are extremely conscious<br />
of the impact our operations have on the natural<br />
environment that surrounds us. This ranges from the<br />
responsible utilisation of resources to strict regulatory<br />
compliance and environmental management practices,<br />
and reducing our carbon footprint. In addition to being<br />
mindful of all these, we also exercise due diligence and<br />
operate with careful considerations.<br />
While we have made considerable inroads in our path<br />
towards becoming more sustainable, the key challenge<br />
ahead will be for <strong>Tropicana</strong> to meet the needs of a<br />
growing population and providing homes that embody<br />
our entire DNA while also growing sustainably and at<br />
the same time, staying competitive. Key to this are<br />
three driving factors that are of utmost importance to<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong>: safety, security, accessibility and wellbeing,<br />
use of innovative technology and methods, and energy<br />
efficiency and eco-friendly measures. Peace of mind of<br />
our residents is an essential part of our vision, with the<br />
aim of providing a township that is accessible yet offers<br />
safety and security. At <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens, for example,<br />
cutting-edge security systems and technologies are<br />
outfitted to ensure the safety of residents and visitors.<br />
At <strong>Tropicana</strong>, our integrated developments and<br />
townships have been designed with strong emphasis<br />
on wellbeing. Guided by our very own <strong>Tropicana</strong><br />
Development DNA, we build with sustainable and<br />
green architecture in mind, elevating us from being<br />
merely a property developer. We build long lasting<br />
communities that hopefully will stand the test of time.<br />
Environmental protection and preservation in all our<br />
business operations are paramount, and coupled with<br />
better management of resources and materials, our<br />
goal is for everyone to live in a cleaner and healthier<br />
environment. With impactful strategies implemented<br />
to minimise threats to the natural environment’s<br />
integrity, we proudly adhere to environment-conscious<br />
parameters.<br />
Biodiversity preservation, energy efficiency and the<br />
use of sustainable construction methods are important<br />
cornerstones to our sustainability efforts. Some of our<br />
green initiatives include rainwater harvesting to reduce<br />
wastage as well as the adoption of a waste water<br />
treatment system; the use of green energy systems<br />
such as at <strong>Tropicana</strong> Metropark where windmills power<br />
the water turbines in our Urban Park filtration system;<br />
and the use of energy efficient lights and regenerative<br />
lifts.<br />
In line with our DNA, our developments like <strong>Tropicana</strong><br />
Aman, <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens, <strong>Tropicana</strong> Metropark,<br />
and <strong>Tropicana</strong> Heights are among those that feature<br />
parks, green spaces and water features. For example,<br />
<strong>Tropicana</strong> Heights in Kajang has a 16-acre Central Park<br />
and 750-metre linear lake. Tree transplantation is one<br />
of many environmentally friendly aspects of <strong>Tropicana</strong><br />
Heights. Throughout the development, 400 mature<br />
Khaya and 15 Rain Trees that were already on-site<br />
were replanted to support the current roadway system<br />
and land parcel development of individual precincts.<br />
In the areas of energy efficiency, our buildings have<br />
incorporated energy efficient and green features that<br />
are eco-friendly. As such, <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens has a<br />
host of Green Building Index (GBI) elements with GBI<br />
Gold rating given for the Arnica, Bayberry, and Cyperus<br />
phases. Meanwhile, a GBI Silver rating was given to<br />
Dianthus, Edelweiss, <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall, and the<br />
Office Tower components.<br />
With energy and water consumption reduced, all these<br />
different components work in tandem to promote<br />
sustainable living and provide cleaner air quality.<br />
In reducing our carbon footprint, we at <strong>Tropicana</strong><br />
employ innovative and eco-friendly technology and<br />
methods into our development. <strong>The</strong>se include selected<br />
climate control design strategies so as to create a cool<br />
microclimate to discourage the buildup of heat. We<br />
do this by planting greenery on the roof and grounds.<br />
To promote thermal mass cooling, we create a natural<br />
stack effect that lets in cool air from the environment<br />
surrounding us while at the same time expelling the<br />
warm air. <strong>The</strong>se are but some of the methods that we<br />
have adopted to ensure that we adhere to sustainability<br />
practices, thereby ensuring that our environment<br />
is protected and leaving a lasting legacy for the<br />
generations to come.

<strong>Tropicana</strong> Foundation’s charitable work extends to animals too,<br />

A sense of accomplishment, self-worth, and fulfilment can<br />
be gained when we lend a helping hand. <strong>The</strong>se feelings<br />
lead to a happier and more satisfying life. For <strong>Tropicana</strong><br />
Foundation, it has been tirelessly working for over a decade<br />
to improve the lives of the less fortunate or those who<br />
have been marginalised in the community for the greater<br />
good of all. <strong>The</strong> charity arm of <strong>Tropicana</strong> has collaborated<br />
with numerous non-profit and governmental organisations<br />
to assist many community members in need. Since its<br />
inception in 2011, <strong>Tropicana</strong> Foundation has contributed<br />
an astounding amount of over RM23 million to a variety<br />
of philanthropic initiatives. <strong>The</strong> foundation’s charitable<br />
work extends to both humans and animals. While there<br />
are several animal shelters in the country, the foundation is<br />
currently focusing on two, particularly My Pets Haven and<br />
PAWS (PAWS Animal Welfare Society).<br />
<strong>The</strong> former was founded by Aileen Lee in 2011 and acts<br />
as a temporary sanctuary for stray animals until they are<br />
adopted. It provides services such as grooming, boarding,<br />
and pet food sales to pay for its rent. All rescue work is<br />
done independently and is funded by Aileen’s savings and<br />
public donations. Located in Setia Alam, Selangor, My Pets<br />
Haven is in need of volunteers as it is seriously lacking in<br />
manpower, especially in the morning when the centre’s<br />
staff are swamped with work. <strong>The</strong> shelter welcomes everyone<br />
who is eager to learn and enthusiastic about working with<br />
animals. No experience is required, as its staff will lead you<br />
through the day’s tasks.<br />
PAWS is a non-profit animal shelter that has been in existence<br />
since 1987. It receives unwanted dogs and cats, which are<br />
then vaccinated, dewormed, spayed or neutered, and made<br />
available for adoption. <strong>The</strong> shelter and all operating expenses<br />
are supported by public donations and proceeds from<br />
charitable activities. PAWS is looking to raise an estimated<br />
RM3.5 million to build Malaysia’s first state-of-the-art animal<br />
shelter in Ara Damansara, Selangor. Equipped with solar<br />
power and rainwater harvesting, the multi-storey facility will<br />
provide a sustainable and eco-friendly refuge for its animals.<br />
As part of its fundraising efforts, PAWS invites you to sponsor<br />
one square-foot of land for a minimum donation of RM100.<br />
Every donation of RM100 and above comes with a certificate<br />
that includes GPS coordinates unique to you, so you can visit<br />
your sponsored land via Google Earth!<br />

each “bubble” is freshly cooked in-store to<br />
ensure the ideal texture and taste. Furthermore,<br />
the brown sugar used is the result of years of<br />
mixing and experimenting, which led Truedan<br />
to uncover the key to well-caramelised smokey<br />
brown sugar.<br />

W Kuala Lumpur’s Moonlit Fever Mooncake Collection, released<br />

passed down from generation to generation and is a hidden<br />
heritage gem, is also used in the design of the mooncake<br />
packaging, along with circular and geometric lines. As for the<br />
mooncake flavours, choose from Pure Lotus, Lotus Paste With<br />
Single Yolk, Red Bean Paste Mandarin Skin, Momoyama, Lotus<br />
Seed Paste Double Yolk, Tiramisu, and Mix Nuts.<br />
For something unique, the hotel offers the Moonlit Fever<br />
Mixology Kit, which comprises two mooncake flavours, one<br />
tiramisu and one red bean paste, as well as a mixology kit with<br />
alcohol miniatures, signature cocktail ingredients, and a bar<br />
spoon and jigger to prepare your very own cocktail. <strong>The</strong>n there<br />
is the Moonlit Fever Gift Box that consists of two mooncakes,<br />
tiramisu and red bean paste respectively, plus artisanal<br />
homemade treats to satisfy every palate. <strong>The</strong>se include two<br />
premium tea bags, a jar of candied sesame walnut, three<br />
chocolate bars, and a cute Eleph keyring in the shape of an<br />
elephant. Also, check out <strong>The</strong> Moonlit Fever Afternoon Tea,<br />
which the hotel describes as “a mod and vintage inspired<br />
menu embracing colourful and brilliant flavours”, to make<br />
the mid-autumn festival even more exciting and memorable.<br />
