Enriching Lives,Enliven Communities

I am very happy to present to you the 3rd edition of our Journal themed ‘A Journey to Quality’. It has been a memorable

journey for SkyWorld to be where we are today. Looking back, I am very impressed with the progress made in the last

four years and this will not happen without the support of my dedicated team ‘SkyRians’, relentless Business Associates

and valued home purchasers.

Sharing our SkyWorld journey in this journal is definitely worth it and rewarding because there are a lot of good going

that’s worth celebrating and sharing with everyone. Though 2018 has been a challenging year, we managed to sail

through it with strong determination and gratitude. This year, we were awarded many industry recognitions and one of

the greatest achievements is winning the ‘Best Employer Award 2018’ by AON Hewitt. This is a true acknowledgement

of our continuous e�ort and responsibility towards our employees. I must say we have the ‘Best Team’ in SkyWorld who

has always uphold the company’s core values and working hard in realizing the company’s vision.

As a city-centric developer, we stay committed to providing the best of urban Sky Living Experience and we define sky living

experience as an enriched urban living through connectivity, community and comfortability. This is an end-to-end

commitment and we strive to deliver a total satisfying customer experience to enable us to stay connected with our

customers. Connectivity is where travelling is at ease. You will have easy access to major highways, public transportations

and surrounded by abundant of amenities. Due to land scarcity in the city, the only way is to build up. Being a high-rise

developer means we have to pay attention to community living therefore we emphasize on creating lots of communal

space and facilities to encourage social interactions and gatherings. Achieving peace and harmony is indeed essential and

we always ensure a safe and secure living space. When it comes to comfortability, we ensure all living spaces are not only

practically planned to maximize the usability but also promising a quality place to live, work and play. We also understand

that it is every homeowner rights to own a home built with good quality workmanship. With that in mind, we have launched

our SkyWorld Quality Centre, the first of its kind in Malaysia to bring construction to another level. And we pledged that all

SkyWorld homes would be certified to QLASSIC or CONQUAS standards.

As time is flying, many events and happenings have passed and we love to look back and remember all the memories. It

is our mission to enhance the living experience for the city communities hence we endeavor to host events and activities

that will bring values back to our community. These quality engagements are thoughtfully planned and you

will get to peruse in this Journal. We are looking forward to bringing you more interesting and worth

noting stories so you can keep in touch with us. It will be an exciting time for us at SkyWorld, and

I couldn’t be more proud of our team as we embark on our journey to quality!

Happy Exploring!

Being innovative is to think out of the box, yet the idea benefits

homeowners such as increase e�ciency and maximize convenience.

When we build our homes, we always put ourselves in a purchaser’s

shoes and think. SkyWorld is always passionate about being an

innovative developer and we believe innovative can be a key

di�erentiator. A very good example, Bennington Residences, Phase 2 of

a 28-acre integrated development known as SkyArena @ Setapak

o�ers low-rise units where the car park bays are right in front of your

doorstep. A landed concept brought into high-rise living to

maximise the convenience. Its future residents can even install a

roller shutter and turn the car park bays into their very own garage.

Bennington Residences is adopting leading-edge layout and design

to drive the value and liveability of residents. Every single unit is

designed with a spacious lanai balcony, for maximum appreciation

of the great outdoor and use as an additional avenue for gatherings.

Each unit also has an additional yard that is connected to the lanai

balcony. As an added option, SkyWorld will install juliet windows at

the balconies. Residents can close the windows and turn the lanai

space for indoor activities. This will definitely add more versatility to

the space usage, allowing residents more options to design their

ideal home.

FROM IMAGINATION TO INNOVATION

11

INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT

SkyWorld is investing in an Automated Waste Collection System (AWCS) at its medium

to high-end projects. It is also known as a “Pneumatic Waste Conveying System” that

transports municipal or domestic solid waste through underground or ceiling height

pipes at a high speed from the waste chutes into a sealed container located away

from the living area. This process dramatically speeds up the overall waste collection

process, whilst reducing labour requirements and other benefits such as containing

the stench of rotting waste, improving security, and preventing fire hazards and

vermin from getting access to the waste. With the STREAM Automated Waste

Collection System in place, the residents will enjoy the benefits below:

• Cleaner, healthier, and a quality living environment

• Hygienic, concealed waste movement

• Freedom from smelly unsightly open bins

• Eliminating pest infestations in the waste storage area

• Reduced manpower for multiple handling of waste

• Space saving by consolidating waste from several buildings

• Lower operating cost in the long term

• Enhancing security

ways to spend your time and at the same time to stay healthy.

TRANSFORMING CITIES 28

Sport is a great way to connect, interact and socialize

with friends. Apart from boosting self-discipline and

teamwork, it also helps to boost immunity and

contribute to overall physical health. With the many

benefits you can achieve through playing sports, why

stay inside and play video games? Show o� your sports

power and you will see and feel the di�erence!

RUNNING is said to be the king of cardio. Anyone can

run and you do not need any equipment except for a

pair of good running shoes. You can run anytime, any

day and just anywhere. If the weather is good, go out

and catch some sun. If it rains, you can always run on

the treadmill. Check out the amazing benefits of

running: improves overall mental health, strengthens

the lungs and immune system, prevent high blood

pressure, relieves stress, increase bone density, weight

control, fights depression and anxiety.

So, how much should you run each week? Beginners

should start with 20 to 30 minutes per run, 2-4 times a

week and increase 5 to 10 minutes gradually. Always listen

to your body. If you keep pushing your body without rest,

there is a high possibility that you will hurt yourself.

SWIMMING is good for both kids and adults and it is a

good all-round exercise as you can obtain all the

benefits of any workouts without any damaging impacts

on joints because the water gives you buoyancy, so

you’ll float through your exercise session. There are 4

basic strokes – freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and

butterfly and these strokes let you engage almost all

your muscle group. Swimming is a great aerobic and

total body-strengthening workout and it provides you

with many benefits.

As a beginner, a 30-minutes three times a week is

good to keep you well shaped and if you are capable,

try to extend it to 45 minutes or even an hour.

Remember to break your workout into intervals. Now

that you’ve got a better sense of the health benefits of

swimming, head to the pool and take a dip!

It is said that BADMINTON is the easiest sports to learn

and it suits anyone regardless of the age. You can play

badminton for fun as well as fitness. This fastest racquet

sport is a dynamic sport where the whole body gets a

workout. From jumping, running, spinning, smashing to

stretching, you will be able to optimize your health

benefits like improves concentration, mental health,

decreases diabetes, cure for hypertension and reduce

high blood pressure.

Before hitting the shuttlecock, it is advisable to do some

simple exercises. 2-3 minutes of warm up to increase your

heart rate, 10 minutes of stretching to loosen up your

muscles and spend 5 to 10 minutes stroking on the court

to maximize your performance. When you are all ready…

serve it, smash it and win it!

ROCK CLIMBING is an activity where you climb up, down

or across natural rock formations. Although you get to

enjoy breathtaking views, it is insanely dangerous for
