SETIA ALAM, SELANGOR – S P Setia officially launched D’Network, the world’s first solar-powered hybrid F&B hub, in Setia Eco Park, Setia Alam, today.
Stretching across 3.16 acres of land, D’Network is a realisation of S P Setia’s vision to build a green and sustainable hub that effectively runs on solar power. As the world’s first solar-powered hybrid F&B hub, D’Network is powered by 345kWp of hybrid solar energy, complementing the supply from traditional electricity grids. This hub is centred on providing a different class of unique F&B experiences through its offering of dining and retail, and an array of community activities that are all powered by sunlight. A balanced mix of tenants from various backgrounds includes F&B, grocery, spa, fashion, garden resources, delivery point and e-services.
General Manager of Setia Eco Park Desmond Ong addressing the visitors and tenants at the launch of D’Network.
“D’Network is created out of Setia’s vision for more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly developments. To diminish the impact of the environment, we chose to make use of solar energy as it is one of the cleanest and non-polluting renewable energy sources available. Staying true to our development philosophy, we strive to provide our patrons and the whole community sustainable live, learn, work and play experiences,” said Datuk Koe Peng Kang, S P Setia Berhad Senior Executive Vice President.
Setia Eco Park is the pioneer in solar power since 2007, with the capacity is estimated at 2mWp, equivalent to a mini power plant. During the day, photovoltaic cells in the solar panels transform solar power into electricity for usage in the common areas while the excess current will be injected into the national grid. At night, solar energy that was stored and what is generated by the solar power system is used for lightings, ventilators, air-conditioners, irrigation systems, musical fountain, as well as the waste composting machine which produces fertiliser for plants.
D’Network was officially launched by the senior management team of S P Setia, (from left) Executive Vice President Stanley Saw, General Manager of Setia Eco Park Desmond Ong, President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Khor Chap Jen, Senior Executive Vice President Datuk Koe Peng Kang, and Divisional General Manager Goh Tzen Sernz.
“Food waste will be turned into bio-compost through a solar-powered microbial compression technology in the near future. The bio-compost will then be used to nourish the beautiful plants you see in our landscapes. We create a Malaysian-themed garden, illustrating the type of beautiful flowers that can grow in the country,” added Datuk Koe.
The eleven tenants who have opened their doors to patrons are Grand Ya Lim Seafood restaurant, The Grange restaurant, Thai Odyssey that offers spa, dining and art, San Francisco Coffee, Garden Grocer supermarket, d’Global Cuisine by award-winning Malaysian culinary maestro and judge Chef Zubir, You & I insurance and shoes boutique, Liana & Dina bakeshop, Kotak Kopi restaurant, Community Garden & Services, and Mail Boxes Etc.
“San Francisco Coffee is proud to serve the thriving community of Setia Eco Park with the opening of our brand new outlet at D’Network. Our brand promise of serving great quality coffee, in a warm and welcoming environment, would blend perfectly with the lifestyle needs of the residents at this eco-haven,” said TH Lim, General Manager of San Francisco Coffee.
There are three cafes and four restaurants among the eleven tenants at D’Network. Patrons may choose from local cuisines at Kotak Kopi, cakes and sweets at Liana & Dina, flavours of the world at d’Global cuisine, a gastronomic experience at The Grange, lobster and seafood at Grand Ya Lim, and a variety of taste at Five Seasons Hotpot.
Another distinctive feature in this F&B hub is the world’s first solar musical fountain. Coined as the Symphony of Sustainability, the centrepiece charges up during the day using solar power to illuminate through the night, mesmerising patrons with its changing lights, water dancing, and melodious tunes. Songs can be chosen by the patrons in advance to give a different dining experience.
A popular French pastime can now be enjoyed at the first international Petanque facility located at the hub. The Petanque lawn set up with international standard lanes and equipped with high-quality boules will be a spot for outdoor fun specially catered for visitors to the hub. Pet owners will also be delighted to know that a pet-friendly park is also offered at D’Network. The park is thoughtfully designed with manicured greenery and propped with waste disposal bins for the enjoyment and convenience of both the residents and their furry companions.
D’Network enjoys the same serene and cool ambience as of most parts of Setia Eco Park where the air is usually 1 – 2°C cooler. As part of the hybrid F&B hub’s top-class experience, patrons can look forward to relishing in breezy dawn and evening walks. This is because Setia Eco Park is situated next to Bukit Cerakah forest reserve.
With just 3.7 units per acre, the award-winning Setia Eco Park is one of the largest high-end enclaves with low-density gated and guarded developments in Klang Valley consisting of semi-detached homes and bungalows. The innovativeness of the township is evident from the top-notch security whereby the entire enclave is protected by AgilFence System, an advanced perimeter intrusion detection system that is used to manage Singapore’s Changi International Airport’s perimeter boundary security.
Setia Eco Park dedicates 25% of its eco-landscape to parks, streams, and lakes while introducing nectar plants and aquatic reeds to recreate a habitat and nesting ground for the resident wildlife like birds, butterflies, and fish.

Education DG: Embrace empathy development within curriculum
PUTRAJAYA (15 Sept): The Education Ministry director-general has encouraged teachers and students to participate in the #StandTogether National Kindness Week movement, as it helps students’ holistic development by building important social skills such as empathy.
In an exclusive interview with Star’s R.AGE team, Education DG Datuk Dr Habibah Abdul Rahim explained the challenges of imparting values and skills such as empathy, and how teachers need to be better prepared for it.
“It is most difficult to ensure holistic development, as we are very much focused on academics and making sure that students are prepared for tests, ” said Dr Habibah.
“The #StandTogether movement helps supplement what is not fully emphasised within certain classrooms, but it would also be best to embrace empathy within the classroom.
“For instance, to understand history, being able to internalise what happened in the past will allow you to learn better from historical events, ” she said.
The #StandTogether National Kindness Week will kick off this year on Sept 21, with thousands of students and teachers expected to participate online in various interactive learning activities and programmes, all free of charge.
Participants will also be equipped to become “Kindness Ambassadors” in their various schools and communities, in order to create a kinder Malaysia.
Dr Habibah added that kindness and empathy are already embedded in the Malaysian school curriculum, but she encouraged teachers to use a project-based approach to help students fully develop these values.
“Students will build up social skills and understand relationships when working together, which is beyond understanding just the content, ” added Dr Habibah.
The #StandTogether campaign was founded in 2017 by Star Media Group’s award-winning R.AGE team and property developer SP Setia, in response to the increase in severe bullying cases, especially for students online.
Other key stakeholders like Unicef Malaysia and the Education Ministry quickly came onboard to support the campaign, having acknowledged the desperate need for kindness and empathy-based education.
The movement usually culminates in a nationwide Kindness Week celebration on the first week of April, but this was postponed to September 21–27 and adapted online due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Kindness Week will start with the nationwide Kindness Challenge, an interactive WhatsApp chatbot which will curate daily “Kindness Missions” for participants throughout the week.
There is also the online Kindness Workshop, a series of online training for students and teachers to experience kindness and empathy skills activities developed by #StandTogether partners Tribeless.
The Kindness Workshop is supported by Unicef Malaysia.
Students can also participate in the Kindness Leaders Programme, a six to eight-week online fellowship to equip a new generation of students (aged below 21) with empathetic leadership skills.
Students who complete the programme can then pitch for RM1,000 in grant funding for kindness projects in their schools.
To sign up for the #StandTogether National Kindness Week campaign, go to www.standtogether.my.

Reusable face masks for three schools in Semenyih
With many parents concerned about the risks of sending their children to school during the Covid-19 pandemic, face mask has become a must when attending classes.
As such, SP Setia Foundation decided to step in and donate 8,500 reusable face mask to three schools in Selangor that were adopted by the foundation under its Setia Caring School Programme.
The three schools which received the face mask under the foundation’s School Hygiene Education Programme were SK Semenyih, SJK (T) Ladang Rinching and SJK (C) Kampung Baru Semenyih.
SK Semenyih headmaster Sahrom Shamsuddin thanked the foundation for their donation, which would go towards ensuring the safety of pupils while at school.
“The foundation had previously donated large quantities of face mask to our school, which allowed us to distribute free mask to all pupils daily, ” he said during the launch of the programme at the school.
He hoped the initiative would put the minds of parents at ease in sending their children to school.
SP Setia Foundation chairman Tan Sri Dr Wan Mohd Zahid Mohd Noordin said the foundation was prompted to come up with a more sustainable solution as it might be a challenge for some families to afford an adequate amount of disposable face mask over an extended period of time.
“This programme was created to emphasise the importance of maintaining good hygiene, especially among children.
“Wearing a face mask is not just to protect us, but it is our responsibility to protect everyone around us in line with the theme of this year’s National Day celebration of being kind to others, ” he said.
He hoped the programme would make frequent hand washing and wearing face mask a positive long-term habit that lasts beyond the pandemic.
Also present were Hulu Langat district education office (PPD) deputy officer of learning sector Zaiazman Mohd Zainud-din, SJK (C) Kampung Baru Semenyih headmistress Lee Dee Huey, SJK (T) Ladang Rinching headmistress Krishnavani Kaniah and various SP Setia Foundation representatives.
EcoHill Walk shops to welcome public end-2020
PETALING JAYA: When the retail shops in EcoHill Walk, the first integrated mixed development in Semenyih, open their doors to the public by the end of this year, they will be the focal point for residents in the southern corridor of the Klang Valley, said Setia EcoHill general manager Koh Sooi Meng.
He noted that the newest addition to the 673-acre township located in Semenyih, which is around 12km from the popular Broga Hill, will create new vibrancy to the township and neighbouring communities with its mixed offerings consisting of retail, commercial and residential spaces.
This 17.5-acre freehold development that comprises two blocks of serviced apartments, 243 units of lifestyle retail shops, a neighbourhood mall — EcoHill Walk mall, and a premium entertainment centrepiece attraction, will redefine vibrant modern living here in Semenyih, emphasised Koh.
This integrated mixed development within a 20-minute drive of Setia EcoHill is set to have a positive effect on a ready population of up to 600,000 residents by providing convenience and creating job opportunities.
Developed by Setia EcoHill Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of S P Setia Bhd, the freehold township which carries an estimated GDV of RM4 billion, will be a symbiotic co-existence with recreation, entertainment and convenience all within walkable reach.
Setia EcoHill is located in the Kajang-Semenyih growth corridor. It is easily accessible via the Cheras-Kajang Expressway, the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), the Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway (SILK) and the Kajang-Seremban Highway (LEKAS).
Since its inception back in Oct 2013, Setia EcoHill has garnered local residents’ attention as a new place for leisure and recreational activities for family and friends.The holistic township planning has also attracted first-home buyers as well as upgraders.
The lifestyle elements are the main attraction to the buyers. In this soon-to-be-unveiled EcoHill Walk project, there will also be a common lush landscaped pedestrian walkway in a refreshing and welcoming ambience, void of vehicles.
“Link bridges also extend the convenience of reach between serviced apartments, a neighbourhood mall and commercial retail shops, providing a safe and secure environment,” added Koh.
Meanwhile, another new element that is welcomed by local consumers is the opening of the EcoHill Walk mall, which will host Semenyih’s first cinema — MBO Cinemas.
Koh said the mall will have a retail space of 280,000 sq ft. It is now 60% completed and slated to open in the fourth quarter of 2021.
To date, EcoHill Walk mall has a confirmed tenant mix comprising the cinema, F & B outlets, telco, pharmacy, fashion, car wash and money changer. More varieties are to be added in the coming months as potential tenants have been drawn to Setia EcoHill’s rapid development in recent years, said Koh.
He noted that the company intends to bring in reputable brands while making sure that the offerings meet local needs. “These will include reputable and lifestyle brands, mainstream grocer, leisure, sports, and a good variety of services and amenities that provide convenience to the communities at large,” he added.
Upcoming launches
Commenting on the challenges posed by the new normal post Movement Control Order (MCO), Koh said a self-contained development that comprises various facilities and amenities as well as enhanced security and safety features will continue to attract buyers.
In mid-August, Setia EcoHill will unveil Heleena — the final phase of terraced houses in the township. This 70-unit residential project carries a GDV of RM48 million.
With a land size of 20ft by 70ft and built-up of 2,053 sq ft, the freehold homes come in two designs. Each unit is fully extended and has four bedrooms with four en-suite bathrooms. The indicative price for Heleena starts from RM683,000.
Besides Heleena, Koh added that Setia EcoHill 2 which is located around 5km from Setia EcoHill, will also see the new launch of Barrus terraced houses in early September.
“There will be 105 units of 20ft by 70ft freehold terraced houses that come with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a 24-hour guarded community. Its built-up is 1,784 sq ft with a price tag of RM563,000 and above,” he said.

Why Setia Sky Seputeh Is Resort Living In The City At Its Finest
Luxury living has evolved such that it no longer is just about the private space. More and more are looking for a home that allows them to live, work and play under the same roof. The idea of self-contained spaces, where one can relax, exercise and even dine out without the need to leave the confines of home, is more appealing than ever.
Setia Sky Seputeh, a project by S P Setia which is expected to be completed next year, ticks off every item on this wish list but elevates it with a resort-in-the-city concept. Here are three reasons why it represents the best of them:
An Ideal Location
Located in the swanky neighbourhood of Seputeh, it is conveniently linked to major highways and roads, and straddles strategically between Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. Amenities, be it schools, offices, hospitals and eateries, are thus easily accessible – in fact, Mid Valley Megamall is a quick walk across a covered walkway.
Low density, bigger personal space
Comprising two towers, each is 37-storey high and houses only 145 units. It claims to have half the density of most condominiums in Klang Valley.
The residential units comprise three options namely Sky Suites, Sky Bungalows and Sky Mansions, and range in size from 2,303 sq ft to 3,025 sq ft. Each unit comes with its own private lift lobby and each floor has only four to six units, making the property one of the most exclusive in the city.
Each unit is also semi-furnished, outfitted with all the conveniences such as kitchen cabinets at the wet and dry kitchen areas, hob and hood, refrigerator, microwave oven, air-conditioning, water heater as well as washer-and-dryer, for a comfortable stay.
Outstanding facilities
This is where Setia Sky Seputeh truly excels. True to its promise as a resort-style abode, the condominium boasts a multitude of facilities that evoke the temptations of your favourite tropical getaway.
It boasts two facility podiums, one on the 7th floor and another on the rooftop on the 36th floor. The former consists of a crescent sand beach—the longest man-made beach in Malaysia—complete with swaying palm trees overlooking lush foliage. Over on the other side is the saltwater infinity pool that boasts a city view. You’ll also find a cabana lounge, a cocktail bar, a yoga deck, a meditation garden as well as a children’s playground with a trampoline.
At the Sky Rooftop Podium, you can engage in recreational activities at the heated aqua gym, spa and reading room, among others. Prefer a date night outside the apartment without having to drive out? Simply take the lift and unwind at its sky lounge or indulge in gourmet dining among the clouds.
Other incentives
Setia Sky Seputeh is offering the Setia 10 : 90 scheme where buyers only need to pay 10 per cent downpayment and nothing else until project is completed.
And with such a wide range of facilities, the question on everyone’s minds is inevitably the cost of maintenance fee. S P Setia has taken the initiative to address this concern by offering a special 15-year maintenance fee subsidy so that everyone can enjoy them without worry.
KL Eco City, a much-coveted corporate location
In recent years, many residential areas have been redeveloped into commercial, corporate and mixed-use locations, especially in Kuala Lumpur, where the central business location continues to swell.
One such locality is KL Eco City (KLEC), which was formerly Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum.
This development has evolved into a sought-after corporate location with more than 2.5 million sq ft of office space where many corporations have opened their headquarters.
Developed as a joint venture between S P Setia Bhd and Kuala Lumpur City Hall, the RM7 billion integrated, mixed-use development is situated off Jalan Bangsar, next to Mid Valley City, and surrounded by established commercial precincts.
KLEC comprises three residential towers, three office towers, one serviced apartment tower, a retail podium, three clusters (four blocks per cluster) of boutique offices and a one-strata office tower. There is also a multi-storey car park and one mosque.
The development took off in 2011, and it has attracted numerous economic clusters, such as finance, information technology, oil and gas, corporate, consulting, co-working spaces, logistics and wellness, said Propnex Realty Sdn Bhd head of corporate services, mergers and acquisitions Danny Gan.
“The successful implementation of the master plan in KLEC emphasises a work-life balance, similar to the concepts of KL Sentral, Mid Valley and Bangsar South,” he told Property Advisor.
Close to KLEC are Tenaga Nasional Bhd’s upcoming HQ Campus Phase 2, Bangsar; City Motor’s 46-storey Holiday Inn KL Bangsar and LOT 61 Bangsar by Permodalan Hartanah Bhd.
The corporates that have offices at KLEC include Gibraltar BSN, Zurich Insurance, RAM Holdings Bhd, Yinson Holdings Bhd, Samsung Malaysia Electronics Sdn Bhd, The Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia, Egon Zehnder International, WeWork Malaysia, J&T Express and the Phillip Wain Group.
Property consultancy Knight Frank executive director Teh Young Khean said KLEC has great potential as it has all the right attributes for a successful development.
“Since the completion of the mall and office towers in 2017, KLEC has seen an uptick in occupancy and has been performing well due to its strategic location in KL Fringe.
“Companies have been drawn to KLEC for its increasingly vibrant environment and wide variety of amenities,” he said.
Since the opening of the pedestrian link bridge in 2019, from Abdullah Hukum LRT station to Mid Valley City, KLEC has boosted its ecosystem for tenants to enjoy the facilities of both developments, said Teh.
“It has a two-tier internal road system, comprising an upper and a lower tier for smoother traffic flow, with six main roads that provide direct connections to the Federal Highway, New Pantai Expressway, Jalan Maarof and Jalan Bangsar,” he said.
He noted that KLEC ticks the boxes for the main considerations of tenants, such as accessibility to public transport, attractive rental rates, great selection of food, excellent IT infrastructure, amenities and security.
KLEC experiences slowdown during MCO
According to Teh, at the beginning of the MCO, leasing activity slowed down immensely as real estate plans were either delayed or cancelled altogether as companies tried to control their cash flow and limit spending.
“As restrictions have slowly begun to lift, we have seen the market start to come back to life and many companies are relooking their real estate portfolios.
“Many are looking at cost-saving opportunities. But most corporate real estate planners prefer a wait-and-see approach.”
He said the repercussions of Covid-19 on the office market have yet to be seen. However, most landlords in the Klang Valley, including KLEC, are ready to offer competitive rental packages, including rent-free periods and attractive renewal terms to entice tenants.
The current asking rate remains the same post-MCO, with Mercu 2 and Mercu 3 at RM7.50 and RM6.50 per sq ft (psf) respectively, he added.
“Mercu 2 in particular has reached a healthy level of occupancy with strong anchor tenants, and should see its rental rates stabilise. Rents at the boutique offices and strata office tower are also hovering around RM4 to RM5 psf.”
Raine and Horne International Zaki + Partners head of sales and corporate advisory Gideon Liau said demand for smaller office spaces is expected to rise, and those offering larger office spaces need to adjust to the current situation.
“I would not go as far as to say large corporate office spaces will be obsolete, but the overall design will have to change, based on customer preference and the new normal.”
At this juncture, Liau said, the trend for corporates is to move toward downsizing their main office and practising flexible working arrangements with half of the workforce working from the office and the other half working from home.
He revealed that some landlords are receiving enquiries from e-commerce and pharmaceutical companies that are expanding.
“While the leasing market continues to favour tenants, it is the best time for large companies, especially those in the ‘right’ industries, to relocate and negotiate a better deal,” said Liau, adding that there will be no increase in rental rates in the short term.
Most of the tenants of the residential component at KLEC are expatriates since the rents for luxury condominiums there are affordable compared with other luxury condominiums within walking distance of the LRT and shopping centres.
Knight Frank associate director Kelvin Yip said KLEC’s residential component is expected to continue to grow since it is in a development with abundant amenities.
“With sizes ranging from 657 to 3,993 sq ft, the rents range from RM3 to RM4.60 psf, depending on the furnishing, floor level and view.
“There is a good mix of local and expatriate tenants, however, the presence of expatriates is trending upward.”
Liau said the minimum rental rate is RM2,800 for a one-bedroom condominium, and the maximum is up to RM7,500 for a duplex.
