RM1.4 billion project unveiled in Likas
Published on: Thursday, July 24, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jul 24, 2025 By: Hayati Dzulkifli Text Size: Nick (right) posing with Puan Sri Irene Loor (fourth left), Kevin (second right), its Executive Director Ryan Chu (left), its Group Manager Joshua Ho Yee En (third right), Douglas (fourth right) and others while showing the model of 'The V' Project at the company's Sales Gallery here on Wednesday. Kota Kinabalu: Jesselton Waterfront Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Jesselton International, in a joint venture with Yayasan Sabah, officially unveiled on Wednesday its latest project, 'The V', a RM1.4 billion Gross Development Value (GDV) integrated waterfront development along Tanjung Lipat in Likas. 'The V would occupy 10.04 acres along Likas Bay. Fo' under of Jesselton International Tan Sri David Chu said 'The V' name in Roman numeral for number five draws inspiration from five elements that symbolise harmony and balance in life, reflecting a design philosophy that integrates nature, wellness, and connectivity. From its flowing architectural design to wellness-focused amenities, he said every feature had been thoughtfully crafted to create a destination where people can live, work, and connect in harmony, blending lifestyle and business within one ecosystem. 'Kota Kinabalu is one of the last places in Asia where you can still live by the sea at a price under RM300,000. That's an increasingly rare opportunity. 'Today, it's common to spend the equivalent of a property's value on a car, which depreciates over time. In contrast, property offers much more than a lifestyle statement — it represents long-term security, rental potential, and a tangible asset for future generations,' he said. Jesselton International Managing Director Nick Chu said the project marks another milestone in the company's property development journey. 'Our company's core focus has always been building quality and iconic developments, from our first project Jesselton Residences which we completed in 2017, to Jesselton Twin Towers completed early last year. 'Completing these developments and achieving innovating feats inspired us to build 'The V' and this project will be the largest development in our portfolio to-date, comprising three towers of commercial suites condominium, and one corporate office tower, where all four towers have accessed to their own stunning facility decks and the views of Likas and the bay. 'It has 78 blocks of commercial shops which are connected to a central air-well podium, and will house some of the finest businesses,' he said, at the preview. Nick said 'The V' represents five elements forming the rhythm of nature namely the metal, wood, water, fire and earth. 'As we unveil 'The V', our vision is simple: that is to also bring together the five essentials of modern living — nature, design, wellness, community, and ambition — creating a destination that feels nothing short of five-star. 'The opportunity is rare as developments of this size in prime Likas, positioned with such a great view, selling at very competitive prices for easy entry. 'Early bird deals are for a limited time,' he said, while adding that the sales gallery would be open to the public starting July 2025. Walk-ins are welcome to explore the show units and discover more about this landmark development, he added. Nick also commended its joint venture partner, Yayasan Sabah Group, which was represented by its Chief Operating Officer Douglas J. Joinol and his team, for being very supportive in providing the opportunity to realise their vision through 'The V'. Jeseelton International Group CEO Kevin Thong said 'The V' marks an exciting chapter for the company as they continue to shape Kota Kinabalu's skyline. 'The project which will commence in Sept, this year and expected to be completed in four and a half year, features a new benchmark in Waterfront living. 'Occupants and units owners get to enjoy permanent gazetted sea frontage along Likas Bay, offering uninterrupted views and exceptional exclusivity — a rare privilege in Sabah. 'The project will have Borneo's first 100-metre infinity lap pool, pickle ball courts, zen gardens, co-working lounges, kids' splash and play zones, and sky bars, among others,' he said. Kevin said they are targeting 80 per cent foreigners from China, Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan showing interest for the commercial service suites or AirBnB. 'We are developing 'The V' project to accommodate Sabah's booming tourists in coming years where they could stay in our service suites as we know existing hotels also could not attend to the high demand of tourists coming to the State especially during peak season. 'In fact, the Sabah government has targeted 3.5 million tourist arrivals in 2025 following a successful 2024 where this exceeded the three million target. To a question, Kevin said Yayasan Sabah as its JV partner is taking up half of Tower D which is around 14 to 15 floors out of 31 floors in the tower, with the purpose of making the floors as their offices.

Saints coach Kellen Moore still hasn't received his Eagles Super Bowl ring
'Nick (Sirianni) FaceTimed me and gave me a lot of crap for not being there' Kellen Moore played a big part in the Philadelphia Eagles' successful 2024 season and exciting victory in Super Bowl LIX, but he hasn't yet received the unique winged championship ring that other members of that team now call their own. According to the first-year head coach of the New Orleans Saints, his old boss Nick Sirianni said if he hadn't left for a new job this offseason, he'd have it already. "I have not gotten it yet, but I've seen pictures," Moore grinned, speaking with the media before Saints training camp started this week. "I didn't make it (to the ring presenting ceremony on July 18) but Nick FaceTimed me and gave me a lot of crap for not being there." Maybe they'll FedEx it to him. The Saints and Eagles won't cross paths this year unless they meet in the playoffs, but they could play in Philadelphia in 2026 if both teams finish in the same place within their divisions in 2025. If that's the case, the Saints will play visitors against the Eagles in back-to-back years with another road game scheduled for 2027. That could give Moore enough time to rebuild the roster with his own players, and maybe get one over on Sirianni. We'll see.

Galaxy Watch 8 Classic's rotating bezel: A feature I can live without
Samsung brought back the "Classic" variant of its smartwatch this year. One of the hallmarks of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and a big marketing point, is the physical rotating bezel. Today I'm going to go against the grain and argue against this physical interface. This may be an unpopular opinion, but to be honest, I've seen quite a few people share this sentiment that the rotating bezel in Samsung's watches is an unnecessary, bulky, laggy, and even ugly contraption. But first, a few words on the history of the rotating bezel. Back to the year 2015! History of the rotating bezel The first iteration of the rotating bezel in the Gear S2 | Image by PhoneArena Samsung introduced it with the Galaxy Gear S2 in 2015. Back then, people were fascinated by the idea. My colleague Nick praised it in the Galaxy Gear S2 Review: "Speaking of the bezel, it is one of the Gear S2's stand-out features. By rotating it, one can navigate through the smartwatch's menus, scroll down emails, and interact with apps, having to touch the display only to confirm a selection. The solution is elegant, convenient, and superior to anything similar that we've seen on a smartwatch to date." The design made its way to the Galaxy Watch 3 and subsequently to the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. But then Samsung decided to move to a two-year release cycle for the rotating bezel models, skipping it on the Galaxy Watch 5 series, only to bring it back a year later on the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. The Galaxy Watch 7 series once again omitted the rotating bezel, and now we have it back on the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. What's going on? It turns out that most of the reasons match the ones I already mentioned in the beginning. Let's dive deeper. Design and aesthetics The true origin of the rotating bezel can be traced back to diving watches in the 1950s | Image by Omega One of the reasons Samsung has been taking away and bringing back the rotating bezel on a regular basis lies in the aesthetics department. I know design is subjective, but in 2022, when Samsung removed the rotating bezel from the Galaxy Watch 5 series, the industry was pushing for a minimal and stylish look. Samsung was competing with the Apple Watch 8 and allegedly saw the rotating bezel as old school, bulky, and outside the design language the company wanted to portray. Samsung didn't say this officially, but that's what the rumor mill was spitting out at the time. The sleek and stylish Galaxy Watch 7 | Image by PhoneArena I'm absolutely on board with this point of view. Smartwatches have been trying for years to mimic regular timepieces, mainly because we're so accustomed to the design through the ages. But given the true origin of the rotating bezel, I think it looks odd and out of place on a modern and stylish smartwatch. Hear me out. The origin of the rotating bezel can be traced back to diving watches back in the 1950s. It was a crucial safety feature to remind divers of the time they'd spent underwater. Nowadays many smartwatches go for that "diving watch" aesthetic, even though they're not specifically designed for diving. I personally find this annoying; instead of making smartwatches innovative and exciting, we're clinging to the past. But even as an interface piece, the rotating bezel is, in my opinion, not a very good idea. It's redundant as an interface You still need to tap on the display to navigate in and out of menus and apps | Image by PhoneArena The rotating bezel is mainly used to scroll through menus and text on the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. In order to select something or go back, you need to touch the display. Many people argue in favor of the rotating crown with the argument that it lets you navigate without touching the display—for example, with wet or dirty hands, underwater, etc. However, it's simply not the case—you can't even use the other physical buttons to avoid touching the screen—you can only return to the home screen. To me, it's a flawed design and a failed opportunity. Had Samsung allowed the physical buttons on the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic to be used to go forward and back one step, the rotating bezel would've made much more sense. And even then, doing a rotating motion to scroll up and down or left and right isn't the most intuitive way to do it. And speaking of alternatives… There's a better way to do it—the rotating crown Apple Watch's rotating crown is minimal and gives more design freedom As far as physical scrolling interfaces go, Apple did a great job with the rotating crown. Don't get me wrong, I still think that the Apple Watch is overpriced and flawed with its 18-hour battery life. The rotating crown, though, was a great invention, and no wonder so many companies have copied it. It requires less physical effort to turn (you can do it with a finger), your hand doesn't obscure the display while you're turning it, and the direction of the rotation mimics what's happening on the display—you turn it up or down, and the text or menu moves up or down. For me, the rotating crown is a better implementation of the same idea and also leaves much more design freedom. Other problems with the rotating bezel People are complaining about rotating bezel's durability and functionality on older Galaxy Watch models | Image by Reddit The rotating bezel is a big moving part. And as we all know, parts that move mechanically are prone to failure. It's also a point of entry for dirt and moisture, adding to the risk of failure I mentioned above. The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is still quite new, and it will take some time for such problems to manifest, but still, it's a potential issue. Conclusion Design and interface are two subjective parts of the smartwatch equation. I get that many people still love and swear by the rotating bezel, but it's just not for me. I see it as a gimmick and a tribute to our old ways of thinking. I would love to see new designs, new interface choices, and braver solutions when it comes to smartwatches.
