Residents in IJM Land’s Seremban 2 township, often consider City Park an indispensable
extension of their own abodes and homes. The centrally located park has been a prominent
mainstay in the community for over two decades since its unveiling to the public in 2005.

As a result, to reaffirm IJM Land’s commitment towards living within the embrace of nature,
RM 1 million has been allocated towards conducting upgrade works and enhancements to
reinvigorate the well-received City Park over a three-month period.

FUTURE PROOF

City Park is a prominent landmark in Seremban 2. The sprawling 15-acre recreational park
and its picturesque lake is frequented by residents as well as neighbouring ‘Serembanians’.
The park is outlined with a jogging track and sprinkled with charming gazebos, exercise
stations, and rest areas.

And it is not just runners, fitness enthusiasts and children that utilise the facilities and playgrounds, as there were various activities and classes conducted, such as tai chi and aerobics, for bonding with family, friends, neighbours, and incoming visitors.

It was also the go-to spot for those who prefer casual strolls and soaking up the great
outdoors. In essence, this expansive green space embodied what most homeowners desire
in the post-pandemic era of avoiding suffocating urban jungles.

NEW AND IMPROVED

However, there have been noticeable signs of wear and tear on the playground equipment
and sporting facilities. Hence, a call to arms to spruce up City Park to restore and even
surpass its former glory has been initiated by IJM Land.

As part of scheduled upgrades, an emblematic S2 City Park sign has been installed near the
lookout point of the lake, serving as a gathering point for group activities. Other signages
and markers will likewise be replaced, repainted, refurbished, or repaired with ample lighting during the evenings.

For young children, a key addition will be two new sets of integrated playground equipment – with swings, seesaws, merry cycle, and rocking animal riders – while mini ones will be
scattered throughout the park to cater to the growing number of young families in the area
and their safety during play.

And because of the new features and IJM Land’s optimisation efforts, there will be no clamouring to use the same facilities simultaneously.

ARTS & CRAFT
To add a light-hearted touch of differentiation, there will also be various Instagramable
backdrops and structures to attract peripheral visitors to Seremban 2. Art Studio Corridor’s
very own founder Elmer Leong has been enlisted to interpret the core themes of art,
homelife, creativity, and living harmoniously with nature.

This includes 10 brightly decorated cottages littered throughout the park to relax, unwind and snap a couple of selfies; while playground cylinders, nondescript cylinder block barriers and electrical boxes are given a new lease of life and hand-painted with colourful artwork and illustrations of cuddly animals. Collectively, they represent a throwback to the carefree days of yesteryears – replete with a full cut-out of a bus sekolah (school bus) and other colourful murals.

Finally, the much-anticipated Tapir Corner has been successfully installed as the new iconic feature and serving mascot of City Park. This is to promote awareness of endangered tapir
species protected under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 in Malaysia.

“City Park has been a tremendously vibrant hive of activity with Seremban 2 residents and
the neighbouring communities,” says Mr Chai Kian Soon, Senior General Manager of IJM
Land.

“The purpose of upgrading City Park is to rejuvenate a cherished green hub for all
homeowners. This will once again unite the community, enabling them to fully enjoy the
amenities we provide. We are committed to harmonising fun and safety while prioritising the well-being of the community, irrespective of the leisure activities at City Park.”

As a familiar sanctuary away from noise and traffic congestion, City Park provided a brief
respite from the daily grind that many living in the vicinity have grown immensely fond of.

“A pop of colour goes a long way, and our nostalgic approach to create a cheerful and happy atmosphere with delightful cartoonish characters and bright colours harkens back to the days of our youth when we were less guarded as children compared to adults. Our approach towards communal living is intended to push the boundaries of our personal spaces beyond the confines of our homes with others in the Seremban 2 community,” concluded Chai.

KAO Malaysia marked its inaugural participation at the eighth Sustainable Brands Conference by sharing its Kao Kirei Lifestyle corporate philosophy as well as plans for sustainability and the empowerment of women in Malaysia.

The conference’s theme this year was “Regenerating Local” with renowned experts from all
over the world weighing in on the meaning of “local” from a variety of viewpoints and
touching on how brands define regeneration.

For the first time, this conference also included hands-on workshops in addition to the regular plenary and panel sessions.

For their session, Tan Poh Ling, Vice President, Marketing, Kao Malaysia, shared Kao
Malaysia’s efforts and initiatives to empower and support women, which have long taken
root within local communities in Malaysia.

Laurier has been a friend to many young Malaysian girls since 1994, and its ‘Yakinlah Menjadi Remaja’ program, which supports and educates young girls about menstrual hygiene, has reached more than two million students in 8,000 schools.

“It was truly an honor for me to represent Kao at the Sustainable Brands Conference. As
marketers, I firmly believe that we have a responsibility to integrate sustainable angles into
our brand strategies.

And the most impactful way in which to do that is by tackling issues that are most relevant to the communities in which we live and work,” Tan Poh Ling said.

“Based on our core value of walking the right path, and building upon the foundation of
respecting human rights, Kao believes that women’s empowerment is essential for the
company to grow, given that diversity is one of the most crucial aspects of human capital.

It was inspiring to discuss this subject within the context of our Laurier Brand – in line with
Kao’s Commitment to advocating confidence as a key factor in the development and
success of women.”

The “Yakinlah Menjadi Remaja” program has since its inception continued to expand with
the collaboration of the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) as a key delivery partner.

Dubbed the ‘Laurier School of Confidence’, this initiative aims to not only instill confidence amongst young women but also reward eligible students with RM1,500 in the form of a National Education Savings Scheme (Simpan SSPN) account.

Commemorating 50 Years of Caring for Malaysians

Kao Malaysia earlier this year marked its 50th year of operations in Malaysia by bringing its Kirei Lifestyle plan closer to consumers. The Kirei Lifestyle Plan builds on Kao’s corporate
philosophy—The Kao Way—with a clear-eyed view of the future and the role that Kao
Corporation has to play for its customers, communities and the world at large.

From introducing product innovations all the way to the environmental impact of the company and its products, these goals are further boosted through initiatives in line with various sustainability goals such as decarbonization, achieving zero waste, conserving water and preventing air and water pollution.

For these and other relevant efforts, Kao has successfully retained its recognition as one of
the World’s Most Ethical Companies (and the only Asian company to have made the list
every year) for 17 consecutive years by the Ethisphere Institute, a leading US think-tank.

KAO’s Kirei Lifestyle vision even reaches far beyond environmental concerns to include commitments on addressing health as well as social needs.

“Over the past couple of months, we have taken substantive steps in incorporating action
points in our Kirei Lifestyle ESG strategy – chief achievements among which includes
achieving Zero Waste and championing girls’ and womens’ empowerment in particular,”
added Tan Poh Ling.

“With the guidance of our Kirei Lifestyle Plan, we aim to develop our business, provide better products and services for consumers and society so that we may together create a beautiful life, today and beyond.”
