Amid the ever-growing sea of retail hubs, high-rise condos, and concrete developments that seem to edge out every last patch of green in the city, one developer isn't slowing down anytime soon. Come Sep 2025, Sunway Malls is set to open Sunway Square Mall in Petaling Jaya, making it the 10th in their collection.

Part of the broader Sunway Square development, the mall overlooks the calm waters of Sunway South Quay Lake and sits just a 12-minute walk from Sunway Pyramid — all within the ever-evolving ecosystem of Sunway City. But unlike its older siblings, this one feels a little bit different.
Designed with the city's current generation of urban dwellers in mind, Sunway Square Mall blends spaces for community, creativity, and connection. According to Sunway Malls CEO HC Chan, it aims to be 'a trendy social hub,' reflecting the way urban life continues to shift — where leisure, food, and culture now share the spotlight with shopping.
So, what does that actually mean?
In short: if you're looking for a cosy, air-conditioned spot to lepak with friends over a great cup of coffee and yummy food, explore creative corners, or try out a new sport — this place has your name written all over it.
The mall itself will naturally host a mix of offerings, including twin commercial towers, a 1.2K-seat performing arts centre, and a 24-hour library — which is probably the most exciting part of the news.

Among the 150+ tenants, you'll find names like Village Grocer, BUMP Bouldering, TGV Cinemas, The Library by BookXcess, KKV, GoFit, and Tutu Toe Dance Academy. Plus, with 3K parking bays, finding one during your trip won't be a headache — especially on the weekends.
So, what's your verdict? Is this a bold move in a saturated market — or a much-needed unique addition? Will you be dropping by?

SMM sues MalaysiaNow for defamation, denies issuing mining licence to politically-linked firm

KOTA KINABALU, July 25 — Sabah Mineral Management Sdn Bhd (SMM) has initiated legal proceedings against news portal MalaysiaNow over allegedly false and defamatory reports concerning the politically-linked company Bumi Suria Sdn Bhd. In a statement, SMM accused MalaysiaNow of publishing 'numerous allegations which are false, misleading, and defamatory' regarding the purported awarding of a prospecting licence (PL) to Bumi Suria, a company linked to prominent businessman and former political aide Datuk Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak. 'At no point in time did MalaysiaNow seek SMM's clarification prior to the publication. The publications were biased, one-sided, and represent a calculated attempt by MalaysiaNow to defame SMM, its directors, and officers,' SMM stated, adding that it would pursue legal action against any other media outlet that republishes the claims. The lawsuit comes after a series of articles and videos by MalaysiaNow suggesting that SMM had improperly awarded a prospecting licence to Bumi Suria for a 70,000-hectare forest reserve area in Kalabakan and Gunung Rara. SMM rebutted this, reiterating that it has no legal power to issue prospecting or mining licences. It stressed that this authority lies solely with the Sabah Department of Lands and Surveys (JTU) under the Sabah Mining Ordinance 1960. JTU director Datuk Bernard Liew noted this yesterday when saying that no mineral-related licence had ever been issued to Bumi Suria. Instead, SMM clarified that it had only issued a 'Conditional Letter of Permission to Apply for a Prospecting Licence' to Bumi Suria following internal board deliberations, stressing that this document was not an approval or the issuance of any licence. 'However, Bumi Suria did not proceed to formally submit any of the required documents for an application. Consequently, on March 24, 2025, SMM issued an official letter of cancellation of permission to apply to Bumi Suria Sdn Bhd. 'These facts were maliciously omitted by MalaysiaNow,' SMM said. SMM also took issue with the use of a photo of its chief executive officer, Natasha Sim, and her name in connection with an audio recording that they claim does not feature her voice and is not associated with her. 'This deliberate act of misrepresentation is unacceptable and unethical,' it said. The issue has drawn public scrutiny, particularly as SMM has been embroiled in controversy since a series of leaked videos and audio recordings emerged, alleging corrupt practices in the awarding of licences and implicating several Sabahan politicians. Two state assemblymen, Datuk Yusof Yaacob (Sindumin) and Datuk Andy Suryady Bandy (Tanjung Batu), are currently facing corruption charges over the scandal. Farhash, a former aide to PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, has denied allegations that he owned Bumi Suria and that the company had been awarded a mineral prospecting or exploration licence. While confirming he is a director and shareholder, his lawyers have demanded the articles be removed.

How the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs Is Outpacing Us — and Why

Today's founders are flipping the script and redefining how startups are built. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. When I launched my first startup, hustle culture was the playbook. You worked nonstop, obsessed over the product and hoped customers would show up later. Everything revolved around the grind. But the next generation of founders? They're building smarter — not just harder. They're rejecting outdated startup myths, reshaping what success looks like and, frankly, doing it better. Here's what they're getting right — and what every founder should learn from them. Related: How To Use Entrepreneurial Creativity For Innovation They build community before product We used to build first, sell later. The customer was an afterthought. As a result, we built in silos and hoped it resonated. Today's founders flip that. They gather an audience early and then co-create solutions with them. Take LEGO. Even with a global fan base, they invited users to collaborate on designs. That shift from selling to users to building with them turns buyers into loyal advocates and drives better products from day one. They lead with purpose, not just profit For my generation, business started and ended with revenue. Culture, wellbeing and ethics were nice-to-haves — not priorities. But today's founders build companies that stand for something. Whether it's sustainability, mental health or social impact, they align their mission with their market. Profit follows purpose and creates deeper, longer-lasting loyalty. They choose authenticity over polish Back then, founders were expected to be polished and perfectly poised — especially in public. I remember prepping endlessly for interviews, trying to appear "flawless." Now? Founders are showing up as themselves. No suits, no script, just transparency. And audiences love them for it. People don't want curated personas — they want someone real they can relate to. They use data as a compass, not a crutch We treated data like gospel. If the numbers said no, the conversation ended. But younger founders use data more intuitively. It's a compass — not a cage. They combine analytics with gut instinct and on-the-ground feedback, leading to more human-centered decisions and better company cultures. They start digital and scale smart We defaulted to physical spaces, then added digital as an extra. Today's founders do the opposite. They build digital-first businesses — fast to launch, easier to test and scale and designed to reach global audiences from day one. They prioritize inclusion from the start Our hiring playbook focused on "culture fit." Today's leaders prioritize diversity of thought, background and experience — not as a checkbox but as a core strength. The result? More creativity, stronger teams and products that speak to broader markets. They're not afraid to say, 'I don't know' Founders used to believe they had to be the smartest person in the room. Decisions were top-down. Feedback was limited. Now, the best leaders are learners. They listen, ask, adapt and bring their teams into the process. That humility isn't a weakness — it's a competitive edge.

Startups aren't won by those who work the longest hours or chase the biggest valuations. They're won by those who lead with intention, build with empathy and adapt with the times. If you're still building the way we used to, it's time to evolve. The future belongs to founders who listen more, assume less and build not just for their users, but with them.
