Developer marks 15th year of programme with home makeovers for two families in Seremban, Sandakan
Chan's dilapidated and unsafe house in Seremban before the home makeover undertaken by IJM Land. IJM Land Berhad celebrated the 15th anniversary of its 'MyHome' Programme by renovating parts of two homes in Seremban, Negri Sembilan and Sandakan, Sabah. In Seremban, a dilapidated house in Kampung Baru Batu 8, Labu, was fully rebuilt and handed over to Chan Ngan Chong, 61, and his family of four. The family's previous home was deemed uninhabitable due to termite damage, an unusable kitchen and only one usable bedroom, with high risk of collapsing within a year. The Chan family survives on minimal income as a stroke three years prior had left him unemployed and dependent on his wife Puniamah, 60. To become his full-time caregiver, Puniamah had to leave her job as a dish cleaner. Financial burdens then began to mount, with outstanding electricity bills over RM4,000, which IJM Land also helped to settle. In the new house, the Chans have been provided with three bedrooms, a toilet and bathroom, a new kitchen, an extended living and dining area plus enhanced surrounding spaces. IJM Land also provided the family basic furniture and electrical appliances. In Sandakan, a new house was renovated for Wong See Kong, 82, and his two unmarried children. Prior to that, the house had a leaking roof, unstable kitchen structures, mouldy ceilings, exposed electrical wiring and no access to clean water. Hygiene and safety were main concerns, especially due to Wong's advanced age. IJM Land team with Wong (middle) at his renovated home in Sandakan. The family struggled to maintain their home, living on a modest monthly income of RM1,500 earned by his 53-year-old daughter who works at a grocery store. IJM Land and its partners stepped in to reconstruct the kitchen using safe and durable materials. They also replaced the mouldy ceilings, repainted all walls, installed a proper water supply system and a new metal stove as well as upgraded unsafe electrical wiring. Concrete flooring, a secure fence and gate were also installed, and the house interior was cleaned. 'The MyHome Programme is our way of giving back to communities that have helped us grow,' said IJM Land chief operating officer Datuk Chai Kian Soon. 'At IJM Land, we believe that making a real difference starts with understanding what families truly need – a safe, secure place to call home. 'Through the programme, we focus on doing what we know best: building and restoring homes, one family at a time. 'Over the past 15 years, we've had the privilege of helping more than 20 families rebuild their lives. With the support of our partners, we hope to continue reaching more communities.' The MyHome, which started in 2010, aims to uplift the lives of underprivileged households across Malaysia. It has thus far benefitted 23 families, reflecting IJM Land's commitment to building quality homes. By engaging subcontractors, suppliers and local partners, IJM Land fosters a collaborative effort to provide conducive living spaces. 'As we continue to scale up the programme, our goal is to ensure that more Malaysian families can live, play, and study in homes that are not just safe, but truly nurturing,' added Chai.

‘Incorporate local elements at Bkt Kerinchi urban park'
Pantai Sentral Park is a 23ha integrated project jointly developed by IJM Land and Amona Group of Companies. LEMBAH Pantai MP Datuk Fahmi Fadzil wants elements of local history incorporated in the Urban Park at Bukit Kerinchi Forest Reserve landscape design and plant selection. 'In Kuala Lumpur, there are communities that have been in certain areas long before the city was developed,' he said. 'I was also told that parts of Kampung Kerinchi were where local folk used to look for bamboo to sell. 'So, I hope that historical elements such as this can be incorporated into the design or selection of trees for the park.' Fahmi, who is also Communications Minister, was speaking after the Urban Park groundbreaking ceremony held at the forest reserve. Also present were IJM Land chief executive officer Datuk Tony Ling, Amona Group chief executive officer and director Datuk Che Hasnadi Che Hassan, and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) executive director (planning) Datuk Zulkurnain Hassan. Fahmi shared that DBKL has begun a rewilding initiative around the reserve. 'When the team comprising DBKL's Landscape Department, Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) and arborists assessed the trees here, they discovered that most were rubber trees because of the rubber estate that was previously here,' he said.

'Those efforts were stymied because of the Covid-19 pandemic but have since resumed,' he added. Fahmi said part of the rewilding involved planting a variety of trees and building a new access point near the Lembah Pantai Community Centre. He described the initiative as similar to the one undertaken in Pulai Trail, a public green space on Federal Hill. 'A community in Bangsar Park worked together with non-governmental organisation Free Tree Society to identify local plant species that they could plant alongside the pulai trees that have been in Federal Hill for six or seven decades,' he shared. Urban Park will help ensure the township of Pantai Sentral Park is connected, sustainable and community-focused. It is a 23ha project developed by IJM Land and Amona Group of Companies. The 0.35ha Urban Park will have walking trails, communal gathering spaces and shaded areas. It will also serve as the direct third access to hiking routes within the 66ha Bukit Kerinchi Forest Reserve, which borders the 36ha Bukit Gasing Forest Reserve in Petaling Jaya. Urban Park will have biodiverse landscaping featuring trees and pollinator gardens that incorporate over 30 plant species. It will be linked to an upcoming MRT3 station via a covered walkway across the Pantai Sentral Park township, known as 'Ribbon of Life'. Urban Park will also be able to host wellness classes, family-friendly activities and even educational programmes in partnership with local schools. 'More than just natural scenery and a green space, Urban Park will be a community meeting point,' said Ling. 'With this ease of access, we hope to encourage more people to embrace the natural beauty existing here within the city. 'We believe that great communities are not merely built with bricks and roads, but with shared spaces that invite people to come together, creating bonds that last.'

Work Begins On Pantai Sentral Park's 'Urban Park' – KL's First Urban Forest Development
IJM Land and Amona recently officiated the groundbreaking of the Urban Park at Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, marking the first milestone in Pantai Sentral Park's mission to build a connected, sustainable, and community-focused township. The groundbreaking event is a defining moment in Pantai Sentral Park's new vision as Kuala Lumpur's first urban forest development. The groundbreaking ceremony was officiated by the Minister of Communications of Malaysia & Member of Parliament for Lembah Pantai, YB Datuk Ahmad Fahmi bin Mohamed Fadzil; accompanied by Executive Director (Planning) for Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), Datuk Zulkurnain Bin Hassan, CEO of IJM Land, Datuk Tony Ling, and Director & Group CEO of Amona Group, Datuk Che Hasnadi Che Hassan. Strategically located between Pantai Sentral Park and a 252-acre forest (comprising 163 acres of Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, Kuala Lumpur and 89 acres of Bukit Gasing, Petaling Jaya), the Urban Park is designed as a vibrant community meeting point that connects city living with nature. It will serve Pantai Sentral Park residents and nearby neighbourhoods including Pantai Dalam, Bangsar South, Bangsar, Mid Valley, and Damansara — offering a much-needed green escape in the heart of the city. Open to the public, this 0.86-acre park will feature walking trails, communal gathering spaces, shaded areas, and will serve as the direct third access to the existing hiking routes within Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi. A key highlight is the 'Ribbon of Life' pathway, a newly-introduced feature in the revised masterplan that allows for easy walkable access across Pantai Sentral Park and provides a direct link to an upcoming MRT3 station. The park has been thoughtfully designed with biodiversity-friendly landscaping featuring trees and pollinator gardens, incorporating over 30 plant species. These efforts not only elevate the park's visual appeal but also support local ecosystems and encourage urban biodiversity. As part of Pantai Sentral Park's broader community vision, the Urban Park is also positioned to be a flexible space that can host wellness classes, family-friendly activities, and even educational programmes in partnership with local schools — transforming it into a dynamic space for recreation, learning, and community bonding. 'More than just the natural scenery and a green space, the Urban Park will be a meeting point for the community. With this ease of access, we hope to encourage more people to explore and embrace the natural beauty which exists right here within the city,' said Datuk Tony Ling, CEO of IJM Land. 'We believe that great communities are not merely built with bricks and roads, but with shared spaces that invite people to come together and have activities with each other, creating bonds that last,' he added. The Urban Park, which is part of Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, is one of the company's proactive corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes through the Park Adoption Programme that echoes The Greener KL initiatives by DBKL in helping to enhance and maintain the green spaces in Klang Valley. This initiative supports national goals for sustainable, inclusive urban development and reflects Pantai Sentral Park's ESG commitment to building environmentally responsible, community-focused spaces. The Urban Park marks the beginning of a green-conscious vision for Pantai Sentral Park — a walkable, wellness-oriented township redefining modern city living in Kuala Lumpur.
