Chew’s vast knowledge of the industry
has also seen him as a council member
and sitting on the committee of SHAREDA
over the last 12 years. He is currently
the association’s deputy president and
is focused on policy and economic
development matters. He spends much
of this time in SHAREDA advocating
for the industry, and representing the
developers in talks with the government
regarding policy matters.
“The local property development
industry in Sabah is not a sunset
industry. Challenges are still there from
government policies and competition
from Peninsular Malaysia and overseas
investors but local developers are very
resilient.”
Deep rooted traditional values of hard
work and commitment to family and
career has guided Chew Sang Hai
thus far and a little bit of struggle and
competition will certainly not deter him
from achieving success in his current and
future projects.

But this project is not just
about building a suburban
mall. It is also about giving
the third generation the
opportunity to prove their
mettle. This will be their
training ground to inspire
and mould them into
exceptional individuals in
this field.
