TTDI Puchong

Naza TTDI Sdn Bhd, the property development arm of Naza Group, plans to launch 18 new projects this year with a combined gross development value (GDV) of RM1.6 billion.

Naza TTDI chairman SM Nasarudin SM Nasimuddin said the launches are part of its long-term plan to become one of Malaysia's top 10 property companies in the next three years.

"We also plan to launch our projects outside of the Klang Valley and make our maiden venture overseas such as in Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and China," Nasarudin said at a briefing on its financial performance in 2010 and outlook this year in Shah Alam, Selangor, yesterday.

Group managing director SM Faliq SM Nasimuddin said the new projects are expected to increase Naza TTDI's net profit in 2011 by 22 per cent to RM100 million from RM82 million in 2010.

Group turnover this year is targeted to hit RM1 billion, up 57.5 per cent from RM635 million in 2010.

Faliq added that the company hopes to rake in a net profit of RM267 million and a turnover of RM2.2 billion by 2015.

"In future, we hope to form joint ventures or embark on merger and acquisition plans with companies that have strategic assets and landbanks as part of our expansion plan at home and abroad," said Nasarudin.

He said the company aims to boost its landbank to over 200ha in the next two years from 161ha currently.

The project launches this year will comprise both residential and commercial developments such as TTDI Grove in Kajang, TTDI Alam Impian in Shah Alam, TTDI Dualis in Puchong, as well as a 35-storey tower in Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur.

The company has also formed an associate construction company, Naza TTDI Construction, as it feels it is the right time to start diversifying and entering the construction business.

Naza TTDI Construction will complement Naza TTDI's business, offering complete construction services in the fields of building, civil engineering and infrastructure works.

On its RM650 million Matrade International Exhibition Centre, Nasarudin said piling works are ongoing and it will call the media for an update in June.

He added the company has no plans to go for a listing yet but may do so in the future, should the need to raise funds arise, coupled with right stock market conditions.

Established 37 years ago, the Naza Group, which also has operations in automotive, hotels and food, has completed more than 14,000 residential and commercial units, including in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Petaling Jaya, Section 13 Shah Alam and the Platinum Park in Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

Rela Launches Patrolling Unit In Taman Puchong Utama

Rela launched its patrolling unit at Taman Puchong Utama in Puchong recently.

Five members in the group will patrol on motorcycles or walk from 10pm to 2am every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

According to Petaling district Rela chief Lt Col (Rela) Md Fuad Ahamad, the Rela members patrolled the area round the clock during the recent Chinese New Year holidays.

“The patrolling by Rela is the first to be held in Puchong area,’’ said Md Fuad, during the launch at the Residents’ Committee cabin.

Also present were Subang Jaya Municipal Council councillor Michael Tamil, Petaling district Rela platoon chiefs Selvam Benjamin and Panir Muthusamy.

Md Fuad explained that besides Puchong, six areas — Taman Medan, Seri Kembangan, Putra Heights, Sungai Buloh, Kota Damansara and Shah Alam — under the Petaling district had Rela members patrolling the area.

He urged Rela volunteers in Taman Puchong Utama to gain the public’s confidence and not intimidate them by showing handcuffs.

“We must do our work with dignity, be disciplined, friendly, punctual and willing to lend a helping hand to the public,’’ said Md Fuad.

Michael said residents in the area had been complaining about the influx of foreigners and petty crime.
“We hope the patrolling by Rela would deter thefts and reduce crime in the area,’’ he said.

Free & Easy Ride Around Puchong

Residents of Puchong have a reason to rejoice as IOI Properties Bhd launched its free shuttle bus service recently.

The bus service would be available for IOI Privilege Card holders and would travel from residential areas to commercial hubs such as IOI Mall, IOI Boulevard, Bandar Puteri Puchong and Giant Hypermarket.

Present at the launch were IOI Properties executive director Datuk David Tan, Kinrara assemblyman Teresa Kok and Subang Jaya municipal (MPSJ) councillor Pooi Weng Keong, as well as representatives from residents associations in Puchong. 

“With this shuttle bus service, we hope not only to provide a convenient mode of transport for residents, but also reduce air pollution and work towards a greener township,” said Tan.

He said that they would be monitoring the bus service for a month before deciding if they will increase the number of buses.

“If the response is good, we will also be implementing a GPS Tracking System whereby residents can track the bus.

“This would be convenient as they wouldn’t need to wait around at the bus stops until the bus arrives,” he said.

He added that all residents and home owners within the township were eligible for the privilege card for free.

Meanwhile, Kok said that the shuttle bus service was a good move by the developers.

“Hopefully it can help resolve traffic jams in our community.” she said.

She also expressed hope that the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) would emulate the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ), to provide community buses to ease traffic woes.

Besides launching the shuttle bus service, Tan also launched the ONE-IOI Net, which is a township-wide, high-speed intranet connecting all residents and business communities within the township.

The service would help businesses promote their products and services to residents, as well as provide first hand information on IOI Mall merchants.

The free shuttle bus service will run from 9.30am to 6.30pm, from Tuesdays to Sundays. Route time would take approximately 40 minutes.

The eye-catching green and yellow bus which features a bumblebee design, had been running since Feb 1 as part of an awareness exercise.

Those interested to apply for the privilege card may do so at the IOI Sales Galleria in Bandar Puteri Puchong or IOI Mall.

A Boon For Puchong Folks

Residents of Puchong now need not travel all the way to Putrajaya to apply or renew their passports. 

The National Registration Department has opened an Immigration counter with six officers to attend to the passport needs of residents in Puchong, a growing township with a population of over 300,000 people.

Seven months ago the government annnonced a pilot project under which counters will be opened at National Registration Departments in Puchong, Gombak and Kepong to better serve the people.

The counter was opened at the NRD in Puchong Utama on Feb 16.

Datuk Loo Yeng Peng, the special officer to Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, visited the NRD and on behalf of the ministry handed out citizenship papers to successfull applicants.

Among the six red identity card holders who received their citizenship were Lim Kim Jiok, 69, Koh Ngai Long, 69 and Tan Kong Beng, 55.

“I am sure the people of Puchong will be happy now that they can do all their passport matters nearer home,” he told the Star shortly after handing over the citizenship papers.

He credited himself with mooting the idea to have a multi-purpose counter at NRDs under the govenment’s new administration’s People First, Performance Now concept.

“This is no just talk. Whatever the government has promised it is being realised and I am happy to be part of the new initiative,” said Loo, who is BN representative for Puchong and the municipality’s Gerakan Division chairman.

Loo also said that the Home Ministry through the NRD has set a one year maximum period for processing citizenship applications.

“A time limit for applications involving citizenship, entry permits or late registration of births, did not exist in the past but now the government has set a one year period as a guideline,” he said.

Over the past two years, the Home Ministry had processed 219,485 applications comprising 62,604 applications for citizenship, entry permit appeal (18,162) and late registration of births (138,719).
