PETALING JAYA (Feb 10): S P Setia Bhd, through its subsidiary Setia HC Ventures Sdn Bhd, has signed an agreement with Qualitas Medical Group Sdn Bhd (Qualitas) to jointly develop and operate an Ambulatory Care Centre (ACC) in Setia Alam, Shah Alam.

In a media statement, S P Setia president and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai said he is confident with the success of the new venture, given the ageing population in Malaysia and the need for such services to be conveniently accessible in established townships housing multi-generational families like Setia Alam.

“This is the first venture by the group into healthcare, which is a growing business, given the market trend. ACCs are outpatient centres providing a range of comprehensive specialist and surgical services including wellness, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. They act as a bridge between full-fledged medical centres and general practice clinics,” Choong said.

Taking cognisance of such developments, the group has identified the first ACC to be established at Setia City Residences in Setia Alam. Setia City Residences is a three-tower integrated mixed development that offers residential and commercial components. It is connected via a link bridge to Setia City Mall, the largest mall in Shah Alam.

“The group has been exploring new businesses that will complement the group’s strength to vary its income, and an ACC, which require relatively small capital investment, is one such potential identified. Accelerated by the recent pandemic, healthcare services have a strong prospect for now and the future,” he shared.

According to a World Bank report, more than 7% of the country’s population was aged 65 and above in 2020. This is projected to double to 14% by 2044, making Malaysia an aged society and 20% by 2056, a super-aged society.

Malaysia’s healthcare market is expected to grow by 127% to RM127.9 billion in 2027 from RM56.3 billion in 2017 as the government pushes ahead with higher public healthcare expenditure, according to Fitch Solutions Macro Research, fuelled by increasing demand for healthcare services and the emergence of new care models beyond traditional hospital settings.

Qualitas’ director and executive chairman Datuk Noorul Ameen Mohamed Ishack foresees that the collaboration with S P Setia will strengthen Qualitas’ offerings in the various areas.

“Qualitas is honoured to be identified by Setia as its first partner in its healthcare foray… Qualitas’ expertise in operating and managing outpatient centres and S P Setia’s experience in successful townships will form a strong and fruitful partnership for such ventures,” Noorul Ameen said.

Qualitas is a regional healthcare operator with more than 20 years of experience to date. It is well established in Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, with a growing presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

Meanwhile, Setia Alam is a multi-award-winning mega freehold township launched in 2004 and is now about 90% developed, with more than 22,000 units handed over.

“The ACC has been identified as one of the place-making elements to boost the Setia Alam township, which has proven to be a well-sustained development for the past two decades. We anticipate emulating the same in other Setia townships and projects in the near future,” added Choong.

Prominent property developer S P Setia Bhd has found the right yet not so costly business to diversify its future revenue stream: to develop and operate an ambulatory care centre (ACC) in the vicinity of its prized township of Setia Alam.

Marking its maiden venture into the subsector of the healthcare industry, the move is very much in line with market trend, according to the group’s president & CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai.

Yesterday (Feb 9), S P Setia inked an agreement with Qualitas Medical Group Sdn Bhd for the setting up of the said ACC project.

“ACCs are outpatient centres providing a range of comprehensive specialist and surgical services including wellness, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation,” explained Choong. “They act as a bridge between full-fledged medical centres and general practice clinics.”

He went on to stress the need for such service in view of the growing ageing population in Malaysia and for such services to be conveniently accessible in established townships that house multi-generational families like Setia Alam.

A recent World Bank report stated that more than 7% of Malaysia’s population was aged 65 and above in 2020. This is projected to double to 14% by 2044, hence making Malaysia an aged society and 20% by 2056 by which it will become a super-aged society.

Fuelled by increasing demand for healthcare services and the emergence of new care models beyond traditional hospital settings, Malaysia’s healthcare market is expected to grow by 127% to RM127.9 bil in 2027 (2017: RM56.3 bil) as the Government pushes ahead with higher public healthcare expenditure, according to Fitch Solutions Macro Research.

S P Setia has identified the first ACC to be established at Setia City Residences which is a three-tower integrated mixed-development that offers residential and commercial components. The facility is connected via a link bridge to Setia City Mall, the largest mall in Shah Alam.

“The group has been exploring new businesses that will complement its strength to vary its income. ACC which requires relatively small capital investment is one such potential identified,” Choong further justified. “Accelerated by the recent pandemic, healthcare services have a strong prospect for now and the future.”

Qualitas’ founder, director and executive chairman Datuk Dr Noorul Ameen Mohamed Ishack said the regional healthcare operator’s expertise in operating and managing outpatient centres coupled with S P Setia’s experience as a township developer will form a strong and fruitful partnership for the ACC venture.

“The location of the ACC is strategic and we foresee that this collaboration will strengthen Qualitas’ offerings in the various areas we are present in currently and beyond,” he added.

Launched in 2004, Setia Alam is a multi-award-winning mega freehold township which is now about 90% developed with more than 22,000 units handed over. It is known for its ample green spaces, eco-friendly features and safe and secure environment.

At the close of yesterday’s (Feb 9) trading, S P Setia was down 1 sen or 0.8% to RM1.24 with 2.13 million shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM5.04 bil. – Feb 10, 2022

“Ia adalah usaha sulung kumpulan itu dalam bidang penjagaan kesihatan, yang mana menjadi perniagaan yang semakin berkembang, berdasarkan trend pasaran.

Setia City Residences ialah pembangunan bercampur bersepadu tiga menara yang menawarkan komponen kediaman dan komersial. Ia juga disambungkan melalui jambatan penghubung ke Setia City Mall.

Kumpulan itu juga, katanya, sudah meneroka perniagaan baharu yang akan melengkapkan kekuatan kumpulan untuk merangsang pendapatannya, dan ACC, yang memerlukan pelaburan modal yang agak kecil, adalah satu potensi yang telah dikenal pasti.

“Dipercepatkan oleh pandemik baru-baru ini, perkhidmatan penjagaan kesihatan mempunyai prospek yang kukuh untuk masa kini dan masa depan,” kata Kai Wai.

PETALING JAYA: Flowers have always played an integral part in celebrations be it for birthdays, graduation ceremonies, weddings or anniversaries. For Chinese New Year, flowers are regarded as especially auspicious.

More than just décor to beautify a home, flowers in all their beauty, variety, colour and abundance, are also often symbolic of prosperity, health and happiness.

But like all things beautiful and precious, a flower will only bloom in all its glory if it is nurtured with patience, kindness and love.

A heartwarming video by property developer S P Setia Bhd titled the ‘The Fú-Growers’, exemplifies this dedication to patience when it comes to nurturing a bloom.

The video relates the tale of a son of a flower farmer, Ryan, who being impatient, hurries the process of planting seedlings, fertilising and watering a bed of flowers, only to realise they die soon after the potted plants are sold.

His wise grandfather however, shows him the true meaning of nurturing a flower from a seedling into a beautiful bloom.

Head of Group Branding & Communications Adelene Wong said the deeper meaning behind the video is the many missed opportunities of not being able to celebrate Chinese New Year together in the last two years.

“Due to the pandemic, many have missed the opportunity to bond with family members for a prolonged period of time and due to many factors, we may not be as patient as we are desperate to gather with loved ones again. During this festive season, it is good to be reminded that good things will only blossom when we nurture our efforts with heart and care, as well as with the right timing,” she said.

According to Wong, the majestic flower arrangement as seen in the video was a result of the collaboration with the renowned florist Eunice Teo, who made a name for herself when she worked in the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Crazy Rich Asians’.

“Signifying hope and prosperity that follow the season of Spring, Eunice has carefully curated a floral arrangement that features peonies blossoming in different phases which also signify the different phases of life. This year, Setia has also featured three different flowers for our angpow collection, the peony which signifies prosperity, orchid to bring abundance and cherry blossom which portrays a new beginning.

“In support of the local nurseries and florist businesses, the production of the video took place at Chiong Garden in Sungai Buloh, Selangor which is a particularly popular area during festive seasons,” Wong added.

Wong also drew parallels to the video, saying the concept of patience applied to S P Setia as well, as the last two years posed many challenges to the company in terms of managing its workforce and customer expectations.

“It took us a lot of getting use to, with the hybrid arrangements which to many may have seemed to be a nuisance while balancing a resistance to change. This was a passionate reminder to everyone that we shouldn’t rush through life but instead enjoy the process and trust in it, so that in the end good things will be the result of such effort,” she said.

SHAH ALAM (Jan 25): S P Setia Berhad has launched a Chinese New Year film celebrating the importance of flowers during the festive season

Titled “The Fú-Growers”, the film tells the story of a boy who comes from a family of flower farmers. In which, through his experience, has learnt the value of patience, care and thoughtfulness to grow flowers in time for Chinese New Year.

“Aligned with our brand mantra ‘Stay Together, Stay Setia’, ‘The Fú-Growers’ story captures our commitment to deliver the best in what we do as it is centered around how nurturing our efforts with kindness and heart will allow us to harvest abundance of joy and happiness,” said S P Setia head of group branding and communications Adelene Wong.

In the making of the film, S P Setia has also collaborated with local talents and businesses in the florist industry with the aim of supporting the local industry.

Local talent included renowned florist and floral designer Eunice Teo whose work has been featured in the award-winning Hollywood “Crazy Rich Asians” film.

In the festive film, Teo had curated flower arrangements with peonies which were the centrepiece of the festive film.

The filming took place at Ching Garden in Sungai Buloh, Selangor.

Titled “The Fú-Growers”, S P Setia’s Chinese New Year festive film this year sheds light on the virtue of giving the care and patience needed to ensure our efforts blossom to fruition.

SETIA ALAM, 21 January – Flowers have long been a part of our celebrations, especially during Chinese New Year. Each flower carries its own auspicious meaning, whether it is displayed to bring vibrancy to the spaces in our homes or gifted as wishes of prosperity and abundance.

To cultivate something just right is to really put our hearts into it, so that our life’s harvest be bountiful with hope, joy and prosperity. Titled “The Fú-Growers”, S P Setia’s Chinese New Year festive film this year sheds light on the virtue of giving the care and patience needed to ensure our efforts blossom to fruition.

“The Fú-Growers” tells the story of how a boy, Ryan from a family of flower farmers learns the values of patience, care and thoughtfulness to grow flowers in time for Chinese New Year.

As Ryan takes a break from school during the holidays, he helps his family around at the flower farm to prepare flowers to be sold before the festive period. However, with his negligence on and somewhat impatience with the little details in caring for flowers, he realises the consequences and importance of nurturing with care and patience to yield the right result at the right time.

Supporting local talents and businesses

S P Setia collaborated with Malaysia’s renowned florist and floral designer of the award-winning Hollywood “Crazy Rich Asians” film, Eunice Teo for the flower arrangement centerpiece featured in “The Fú-Growers”.
