CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENTDATO’ JOHAN ARIFFIN

Only a handful of Malaysian property developers have had the honour of receiving a Gold merit at this global stage. The Mitraland team is grateful for the outcome, as the win is a

reflection of our ongoing commitment and resolve to “Crafting Lifestyles and Creating Value”.

2018 is a game changer, not only for Mitraland, but for Malaysia and her Rakyat.

Going forth with this new government administration, we are buoyed by the smooth transition and are excited to witness positive changes that are expected to come, that will not only benefit business owners, but most importantly, the Rakyat. We welcome this recalibration.

As for the Group, we also have our fair share of good news to announce. After achieving the FIABCI win at the local level, 16 Quartz was qualified to enter the FIABCI World Prix D’Excellence, which is an international award. We are proud to share that 16 Quartz has been declared the Gold Winner in its Residential Low Rise category globally!

As developers in today’s changing landscape, we have to be even more in tune to what potential buyers are seeking. Our project concepts and designs are a direct manifestation of what the market requires, and we will strive to keep our Customers first; ahead of everything else going forward.

There is a new wave of buyers, young adults who are seeking for well conceptualised and designed integrated developments to meet their needs. Gravit8 @ Klang South is our interpretation of those needs, we have been customer centric and focused on offering a comprehensive list of facilities within the development.

As we surge forth to the second half of the year, we will continue to do what we do best – deliver quality works and focus on offering excellent customer service to our buyers.

And to our Muslim stakeholders, may I wish you all “Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri & Maaf Zahir dan Batin”.

03

We push the limits in everything we do, going the extra mile and beyond what is expected of us.

We put integrity first, not only doing things right, but knowing what are the right things to do.

We practice bold foresight, so we are able to function as effectively and effciently as a well-oiled machine

Visitors were then entertained with a Lion Dance - which is always a crowd favourite- and fun activities such as fortune telling, water colour drawings for children, and a traditional mandarin orange tossing session.

Fun Fact #1: Did you know that the Lion Dance symbolises an incoming of good luck while warding off evil spirits? Awesome!

Mitraland consistently organise fun family events” – Mr Phung, Adria homeowner

SNOOPY PAYS A VISIT TO GRAVIT8

Over 6,000 visitors clamoured to visit this iconic comic strip character, which was created back in 1950 by Charles M. Schulz. Visitors were able to catch a glimpse of Snoopy in 52

custom-made costumes from different countries.

It was a huge honour to be one of three venues picked in Malaysia to host the “Tour the World with Snoopy” exhibition. The event took place at Gravit8 Sales Gallery from

the 24th of March to the 1st of April 2018.

Over 6,000 visitors clamoured to visit this iconic comic strip character, which was created back in 1950 by Charles M. Schulz. Visitors were able to catch a glimpse of Snoopy in 52 custom-made costumes from different countries. Each statue was sized about 90 - 140cm tall, and as a bonus there was even a 60 ft. tall inflatable Snoopy!

“Tour the World with Snoopy” serves a purpose to exhibit and represent the 52 chosen countries such as China, Australia, Canada, India, Thailand, and Italy. Snoopy’s costumes depict each country’s colours and it also serves as a great form of show and tell teaching method, especially for young visitors.

During weekends, the Gravit8 Sales Gallery also organised family friendly activities. Children took part in activities like colouring contests and dough-doll making workshops. There was also a fun Shoot & Snap with Snoopy contest for the entire family. Those who produced the most creative snapshots won fantastic prizes.

“As a Snoopy fan since I was a child, it certainly brought back wonderful memories of my Snoopy comic collection. And with each Snoopy statue representing a different

country and their culture, makes this visit even more meaningful. Thanks Gravit8. It was great!” - Miss Amelia Lim, Nordica homeowner.

The long-awaited Mitraland Property Talk was held at the Premiere Hotel in Klang, on the 21st of April 2018. Attendees were served a wholesome breakfast just before

taking their seats in anticipation of the property talk.

Mitraland invited Mr Siva Shanker and Mr Jared Lim, both of whom are popular and versatile property and banking experts.

Mr Siva Shanker, Past President of the Malaysian Institute of Real Estate Agents, has over 30 years of experience in the real estate field. His topic, ‘2018 & Beyond: Investment Opportunities in the Western Corridor’ offered a different approach towards the view of property investment.

He peppered his talk with amusing anecdotes which kept the crowd engaged and in high spirits. He also divulged noteworthy information pertaining to Malaysian buying trends and the advantages of having a diverse property portfolio.

Mr Jared Lim’s talk on ‘How Banks Determine Your Borrowing Power’ followed Mr Siva. Mr Lim is a young entrepreneur who, among many admirable achievements, founded LoanStreet. His presentation topic generated an insightful dialog on the current market requirements. He also shared with the audience basic calculation steps to gauge the percentage of loan a person is eligible for without having to wait for banks to do so.

Questions thrown by guests were easily tackled by speakers hence providing guests solid details. The event wrapped up with a buffet lunch at the hotel café on behalf of Mitraland.
