Dato’ Jimmy Pang,
Chairman of JP Group of Companies
All tourists to Semporna
comes in via Tawau Airport,
however, many do not stop
over in Tawau. Tawau is not
tapping into this window
of opportunity. Pang thinks
that there is a need to do
more promotion for Tawau’s
tourism including promotional
signage in Tawau Airport. He
suggest that a Task Force be
set up by the local authorities
of Tawau and key business
leaders to device a master
plan to attract tourist to
Tawau.
The window of opportunity
has opened in this market and
we do not want to miss it.
Looking Forward
After being in the industry
for about 40 years, Pang is
still passionate about what
he does. He is currently
developing a new commercial
area in Tawau as well as a
gated and guarded housing
estate in Kota Kinabalu. There
are also plans for a Low Rise
Condominium and a few
budget hotels in Semporna.
The motto of JP Group of
Companies is “BUILDING
FOR THE FUTURE”. Pang
says that is because every
building that is constructed
will remain for a long time
into the future and as such, it
is of the utmost importance
that he builds good buildings
that are sustainable for the
future because it is the future
generation that will judge
our works. As responsible
developers or builders,
we have to set a strong
foundation for the future
generation to build on. The
future will judge us, he says,
and that is the legacy he
wants to leave behind when
he retires.
