JOHOR BAHARU (July 8, 2012): The Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (Risda) is building its new headquarters costing RM42 million in Ampang Hulu, said its chairman, Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik.

Called 'Graha Risda', he said the 28-storey building would be built on 0.2ha of 1.2ha land owned by Risda and it would take three years to complete.

"The developer will acquire the rest of the land and build the headquarters at no cost to Risda," he said after the closing of the 17th Risda Games at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia here today.

Risda's office in Jalan Ampang will be relocated to the new headquarters when Graha Risda is completed while the old building will be rented out to its subsidiaries or private companies, he added.

Risda is following the footsteps of Felda by having a new headquarters to boost its image, he said, adding that the new headquarters would be equipped with a 1,200-capacity hall and sports facilities.

The groundbreaking ceremony of Risda Graha is expected to be held soon.

In another development, Rahim said Risda would launch a football team named Risda United and a fund had been approved by Risda board of directors to enable it to scout for players.

At the Risda Games, Risda's Central Region was adjudged the winner followed by the East Zone as the first runners-up and the North Zone, the second runners-up. – Bernama

My walkabout Kuala Lumpur (8 July 2012)

There is this place for the Arabs called "Ain Arabia"



Walking towards Prudential Tower



A very peaceful Sunday...



There is a very good Argentinian steak outlet here



At the intersection, stop by at Thai Club Kuala Lumpur

Prestige Tower's new walkway is really nice and cooling, with water cascading by the side of the walkway





Oh my goodness.. I felt so scary walking in KL City Mall strip mall. Most of the shops are not opened and some vacant/deserted.



Standard Chartered Bank has adopted this mini park... but there isn't any plague yet? Rubbish is scattered everywhere too...



The sidewalks in front of Marc Residences...

The air-conditioned walkway is really comfortable. I see alot of tourists using them with good praises as one Westerner said: "Very good idea for a sunny day"



There you go - the third tenant revealed for Pavilion KL's upcoming fashion avenue. Pepe Jeans of London.



This place is really good to hangout with a jug of beer...



I waited so long for everyone to stop taking photo of that fountain. The reason is I wanted to take Starhill's facade instead.



I remembered taking photo of the duplex store facade is ILLEGAL. You can be caught for trespassing.

Normally the road crossing here is the most packed in whole of KL.



Passing by Fahrenheit 88 on Bukit Bintang street...



They are giving out free Wall's ice cream today. You can see the whole Lot 10 mall is under renovation. According to the hoardings, it will have a 3-storey H&M triplex fashion store.



In 6 months time, half of this road will be gone to make way for the MRT station.

Jalan Raja Chulan



The green building on the left is the global headquarters of Genting Group. Not to far away from here you'll see the miserable offices of Kuok Group (Menara Jerneh, Jerneh is also owned by Kuok).



The vicinity of KL Tower looks deserted.



As I was walking down to The Weld (which is shockingly close to empty) and towards Jalan Tengah... there was this small little run down Indian temple



This is Jalan Tengah, the street behind Jalan Sultan Ismail. The approaching blue building is home to J P Morgan in Malaysia.



The new St. Mary Residences is nicely done!!!! I hope the podium retails will make this road lively again.

True enough, there was a special entrance for "Marini's on 57th" - Kuala Lumpur's latest majestic sky bar.



Walking through the shortcuts in KL makes your life simpler.



Evening jog is common here... and lotsa locals and expats are doing that!



KL's latest baby - the shining classy Felda Tower. Felda is the parent company of Felda Global Ventures, remember the world's no.2 largest IPO this year?



Another baby coming in a matter of days is the new Grand Hyatt tower.



KL convention centre has Kuala Lumpur's indoor aquarium centre.




Heaps of children at the water pools...



Should I head home or to Suria KLCC mall?

Bids for British High Commission land may be called next week
By VASANTHA GANESAN
Published: 2012/07/13



KUALA LUMPUR: The British government is expected to put its 1.22ha land, where its High Commission here sits, on the market as early as next week.

Sources estimate that the deal could be concluded for as much as RM400 million, as the High Commission is sitting on a site as good as a gold mine.

Its land in Ampang, located near the Petronas Twin Towers, has doubled in value over the past year.

A year ago, estimates were that land in the area could fetch as much as RM1,500 per sq ft, but Mulpha International Bhd disposed of a piece of land recently in Jalan Sultan Ismail for RM3,300 per sq ft.

The planned sale followed a statement by the British High Commissioner to Malaysia Simon Featherstone, which was posted on the High Commission's website.


"Here in Malaysia, we will shortly be announcing that the British High Commission will next year be 'moving up in the world' to a brand new and environmentally state-of-the-art office tower," Featherstone said.

As such, a source familiar with the matter said, announcements on the High Commission's relocation as well as advertisements inviting tenders will be made next week.

It is understood that the British High Commission wants to move out from its current location because the site is "also costly to run and guard".

"The current offices on Jalan Ampang were designed in the 1980s to match working practices of that era and include units of accommodation and other facilities that are no longer required in the KL of the 21st century," Featherstone said.
Facilities include office, residences, a swimming pool and tennis courts.

The timing of the sale, however, hinges on the High Commission finding a suitable location to move to.

Parties which may be interested in the High Commission's land are said to be its immediate neighbours.

These include Boustead Properties Bhd, IOI Group, HSC Healthcare Sdn Bhd and Sri Mersing Hotels Sdn Bhd.

The privately held Sri Mersing is linked to Malaysia's richest man Robert Kuok. Sri Mersing also owns the vacant land at the corner of Jalan Ampang and Jalan Tun Razak.

HSC operates the HSC Medical Centre, which neighbours the High Commission while Boustead Properties has a project named 183 Ampang located behind the High Commission.
The IOI Group, meanwhile, has land in the embassy enclave in Kuala Lumpur.

Interestingly, this piece of land being put up for sale was given to the British government in return for giving up Carcosa in 1987. The British government had until then used Carcosa as its diplomatic residence.

Carcosa (which is part of the Carcosa Seri Negara), meanwhile, has been closed for over two-and-a-half years now.
