S P Setia took proactive steps to reaffirm their commitment in building sustainable spaces, namely a surau and Gerai MBSA, to fulfill its communities\u2019 needs. Forming part of the integrated township of Setia AlamImpian, Shah Alam, both amenities were completed in March and November 2023, respectively.<\/p>\n
The surau and Gerai MBSA were recently handed over in late 2023 to the Valuation Department, Shah Alam City Council (MBSA), and the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS), respectively, as part of Setia\u2019s corporate social responsibility initiatives.<\/p>\n
Highlighting Malaysia\u2019s rich tapestry of cultures and religions, S P Setia Bhd General Manager Dato\u2019 Muhamad Zaili Muhammad Yusof underscores the group\u2019s commitment to integrating the daily and religious needs of their communities in the strategic development of townships. \u201cOur belief extends beyond constructing mere structures; we are the architects of cultures and communal spaces,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Approximately RM4.1 million has been allocated for the construction of Gerai MBSA and the surau. Spanning an area of 9,530 sq ft, Gerai MBSA comprises 12 stalls and operates as a semi-open F&B hub, supporting local hawkers and catering to the needs of the surrounding communities.<\/p>\n
Named Surau Setia Al-Muqarrabin, which means \u201cthose who are close to God\u201d in Arabic, the 5167-square-feet prayer facility is designed to benefit the Muslim community in Setia AlamImpian. Equipped in accordance with Islamic principles, it provides a conducive space for the community\u2019s prayer activities, including amenities such as parking area for vehicles, specially-abled individuals and van jenazah, as well as the basic surau facilities namely prayer area, ablution room, and toilet.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, with its recently unveiled community hub and retail space, Setia AlamImpian is poised to become the highly sought-after residential address in Shah Alam. The 1,235- acre integrated township stands as a living testament to Setia\u2019s LiveLearnWorkPlay philosophy, where the current population of about 15,000 residents enjoys the convenience of living in close proximity to growth centres like Shah Alam, Klang, and Petaling Jaya.<\/p>\n
Aligned with the township\u2019s concept of \u201cArts Inspired Living,\u201d one can easily spot mural arts and art sculptures throughout the area. Furthermore, in collaboration with UiTM Shah Alam, Setia AlamImpian hosts an Arts Residency Programme, providing budding artists with opportunities to showcase their talents. An art gallery has also been introduced at the newly launched retail space, LakePoint Central, offering arts students a venue to exhibit their masterpieces.<\/p>\n
