02:27We hope that our new projects will encompass all the values and commensurate with the award,
02:32and we will work harder to make sure all our burn spaces and new design is excellent.
02:37This is a lot of meaning to our company, because this is really, really a hard job
02:41for us.
02:42It's from a so-called abundant building for almost 15 years, and we really rebuilt it,
02:48and now it's very, very so-called successfully delivered the new product, and we are proud
02:54of it.
02:55Star Media Group Berhad, Group Chief Executive Officer Chan Seng Fat, in his opening speech,
03:01said developers not only needed to meet present purchaser needs, but were also required to
03:05anticipate future family dynamics and lifestyle changes.
03:09Developers today are tasked with designing spaces that go beyond fulfilling basic needs.
03:16They must create environments that foster community, incorporate modern living standards,
03:24and address wider concerns.
03:27Therefore, a lot of thinking, research, planning, and care are given to each project to ensure
03:37it meets this requirement.
03:41As an environmental consciousness guru, the focus is not only on physical building, but
03:48also the entire development process, ensuring environmental, social, and governance factors
03:58are integrated throughout the whole value change.
04:02International Real Estate Federation, FIAPSI Malaysia Chapter President Dr. Yuki Hsu said
04:07the industry must acknowledge the increasingly vital role of sustainable development in the
04:12modern urban landscape.
04:13By creating innovative, sustainable, and inclusive urban spaces, developers are not
04:21just shaping the built environment, but actively contributing to a global movement towards
04:30more resilient and equitable cities.
04:35Their achievements are a testament to how the industry can lead by example, influencing
04:43urban policy, and setting new standards for sustainable development.

05:14think Blue Scope has been collaborating with the Malaysian property developer for a long
05:18time to create sustainable homes using our innovative steel solutions.
