During the launching ceremony, guest of honour Dato’ Abdul
Rahman Dahlan, the Federal Minister of Urban Wellbeing, Housing
and Local Government said, “The property industry in Malaysia
has witnessed notable development in recent years, and these
are exciting times for industry players. I believe stakeholders who
have been able to withstand the challenges of the global economic
slowdown are now more experienced and resilient.”
He added: “As Malaysia seeks to achieve developed and highincome nation status, the property sector is one of the catalysts
to realise this. It is therefore important that the housing and
property industry being one of the country’s key economic sector,
undertakes development in a sustainable manner.”
He urged Cpark to embrace sustainable building practices as green
buildings consume less energy and water, generate less waste, and
create a healthy and productive environment for employees.
“The active adoption of green technology, in the building of
quality houses compounded with the well designed sustainability
of the housing sector, will definitely help owners of buildings or
developers achieve higher sales values, fetch higher rentals and
enjoy higher occupancy rates, when compared to non-green
buildings,” he said.
In the building sector, green builders boast a competitive advantage
over traditional builders. Developers involved in the green building
market are ahead of the masses. To drive the potential in the
competitive global market, local developers such as Cpark are
highly encouraged to adapt and embrace these technological
advancements.
As Malaysia seeks to achieve developed and highincome nation status, the property sector is one of
the catalysts to realise this. It is therefore important
that the housing and property industry being one
of the country’s key economic sector, undertakes
development in a sustainable manner.
