Kota Kinabalu: Sabah will play host to the two-day International Zhineng Qigong Mastery Boot Camp in conjunction with the 30th Anniversary of the Association of Hwaxia Zhineng Qigong Sabah, said Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Datuk Seri Christina Liew. She said the international event, to be held here from Aug 30-31, is yet another avenue for first-time visitors to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Sabah and embrace what the state has to offer. 'I understand that many of the 300 participants of the Boot Camp from across Malaysia, Singapore and China are coming here for the first time. Do take the opportunity to explore the wonders of Sabah,' Liew said after receiving a courtesy call by a 12-member delegation led by the Association's Adviser Datuk Wong Poh Loon @ Teo, Thursday. Chairman of the Association of Hwazia Zhineng Qigong Sabah, Chong Yun Ming, extended an invitation to the Minister to grace the 30th Anniversary Celebration Dinner on Aug 29 at the Sabah Hakka Banquet Hall. About 500 people, including locals, are expected to attend the dinner. Briefing Liew on the gathering in Sabah, the Chairman said it is ideal for showcasing the state's colourful cultures, harmonious people and natural attractions, and promoting the state as a unique tourism destination. The programme for the night includes Sabah's ethnic cultural dances, launching of the Association's website, a cake-cutting ceremony, presentation of outstanding awards to deserving recipients, and a harmonica band jazz performance by members of the Damai Senior Citizens Association. Chong said the Association of Hwaxia Zhineng Qigong Sabah is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting Zhineng Qigong (ZQ) for personal well-being and good health. 'We are committed to sharing ZQ's health benefits with all communities across Sabah, and beyond,' he added. Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman cum Event Organising Chairman, Ho Kin Wong, said the association's vision for the future is to initiate a community health programme in residential areas where covered facilities are available such as a basketball court and a community hall. Founded by Dr Pang Ming in China, Zhineng Qigong is now practised by millions worldwide. Its science-based techniques and methodology have helped countless individuals achieve and maintain good health naturally-without medication or invasive procedures. It helps to relieve pain and suffering, while saving from huge medical bills. Also present were the Association's Deputy Chairman Sim Yut Moi, Treasurer Lim Chuk Seng and committee members. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

PAPAR: The Pan Borneo Highway flyover and traffic lights along Benoni Commercial Centre (BCC) and Parklane City are now operational, which will further boost the road connectivity and economic potential of the district. The highway is expected to drive residential and commercial demand in the district, and in turn, spur local economic growth. Advertisement WSG Group Managing Director Datuk Susan Wong Siew Guen said a large petrol station will soon be built in the vicinity to serve vehicles travelling between Sarawak, Brunei, as well as the interior, west coast and east coast regions of Sabah. The company is also negotiating with several renowned medical centres, hoteliers, Parkson departmental store and shopping mall which are keen to establish their presence here. She said this while receiving delegations from the Rotary Club of Tanjung Aru, Api Api Hash House Club, Association of Hwaxia Zhineng Qigong Sabah and Malaysia-China Friendship Association Sabah at Parklane City show gallery here, recently. 'The flyover connecting Kota Kinabalu to Papar and Beaufort is now open to motorists. 'The new traffic lights under the bridge enable vehicles to enter Parklane City without making a U-turn, which is much more convenient and safer to road users visiting Papar,' she said. Susan expects a surge in demand for accommodation and consumer spending in view of Kibing Group's plan to build another manufacturing plant in Kimanis. Apart from luxury condominium, double-storey terrace houses and shoplots, Parklane City has attracted many leading brands and services, including Servay Hypermarket, McDonald's drive-thru, KFC, Co-op Bank, U-Tea, 4Fingers Crispy Chicken, 10Star Cinemas, Majestic Ballroom and Toyota showroom. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

PAPAR (June 10): The Pan Borneo Highway flyover and traffic lights along Benoni Commercial Centre (BCC) and Parklane City are now operational, which will further boost the road connectivity and economic potential of the district. The highway is expected to drive residential and commercial demand in the district, and in turn, spur local economic growth. WSG Group managing director Datuk Susan Wong Siew Guen said a large petrol station will soon be constructed in the vicinity to serve vehicles travelling between Sarawak, Brunei, as well as the interior, west coast and east coast regions of Sabah. She also revealed that the company is currently negotiating with several renowned medical centres, hoteliers, Parkson departmental store and shopping mall which are keen to establish their presence in the prosperous and modern Benoni new township. She made the announcement while receiving delegations from the Rotary Club of Tanjung Aru, Api Api Hash House Club, Association of Hwaxia Zhineng Qigong Sabah and Malaysia-China Friendship Association Sabah at Parklane City show gallery here on Tuesday. 'The flyover connecting Kota Kinabalu to Papar and Beaufort is now open to motorists. 'The new traffic lights under the bridge enable vehicles to enter Parklane City without making a U-turn, which is much more convenient and safer to road users visiting Papar.' Susan said all the shoplots in BCC and Parklane City are sold out, with branded stores rapidly setting up their premises in the vibrant commercial hub. Consequently, she said property prices and rental rates have risen significantly, underscoring the value of early investment. 'At present, the rental for a double-storey shoplot has increased to RM5,000 to RM6,000, while corner lots can fetch up to RM9,000 a month.' In terms of residential properties, Susan expects a surge in demand for accommodation and consumer spending in view of Kibing Group's plan to build another manufacturing plant in Kimanis. 'Buyers of Benoni Gardens Apartment and Parklane Residences Lifestyles Condominium stand to benefit from both investment potential and value appreciation of their properties.' She said the newly launched Parklane Residences Lifestyles Condominium have also received enthusiastic responses from buyers. Tower A has sold over 100 units, while Tower B was recently launched, she said. 'Many investors from Kota Kinabalu and Beaufort have purchased the condominium units as short-term rentals or long-term leases, and the rental yield is very attractive,' she added. Apart from luxury condominium, double-storey terrace houses and shoplots, Parklane City has attracted many leading brands and services, including Servay Hypermarket, McDonald's drive-thru, KFC, Co-op Bank, U-Tea, 4Fingers Crispy Chicken, 10Star Cinemas, Majestic Ballroom and Toyota showroom. Meanwhile, soon-to-open establishments are Dozo Nanyang Kopi House, A&W, Maybank, Affin Bank, Sunway College and a sports arena with badminton and pickle ball courts. Susan disclosed that the company will build a hotel, shopping mall and medical centre next to 10Star Cinemas. 'We are discussing various proposals with Sunway, Parkson and other major corporations. 'In the future, BCC and Parklane City will not only be residential and commercial hubs, but also fully integrated township offering leisure, sports, education, medical care, and more,' she emphasized. On another note, around 50 delegates from the four non-governmental organizations (NGOs) visited BCC and Parklane City on Tuesday. The delegates commended Susan for her bold vision and capabilities in revitalizing an aging township into a vibrant, modern satellite city. Two of the delegates even signed sales and purchase agreements (SPA) on the spot for a 1,000 square feet unit in Tower A of Parklane Residences Lifestyles Condominium. Susan thanked the NGOs for visiting BCC and Parklane City, and for giving her an opportunity to tell the tale of Papar and the investment potentials of the district. She pledged to continue building dream homes and vibrant communities where people can live, work and fulfil their career aspirations in Papar.
