KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 (Bernama) -- Rahsia Estate Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Riverbank Suites Sdn Bhd, plans to launch its first niche mixed residential and commercial development project in Pulau Langkawi in March next year.


The "Rahsia Estate's Island Residences and Spa Langkawi" will be located situated on 15 acres of undulating land.

Rahsia Estate's group chief executive officer Hanizah Tun Abdul Hamid said the project's present development was valued at RM250 million.

"This high-end project will consist of luxury corporate retreat bungalows and semi-duplex precincts," she said.

Haniza said the company was targeting both domestic and international markets but for now, tourists are expected to be more keen on such projects in line with the government's second home campaign.

She was speaking to reporters after a signing ceremony between Rahsia Estate and Amanah Raya Bhd on sponsorship for two Islamic studies students to pursue their education at the well-known Al-Azhar University in Egypt.

Also present were Amanah Raya chairman Datuk Dusuki Ahmad and Rahsia Estate chairman Toh Puan Azian Ghazali.

Hanizah said the Langkawi project, comprising two phases initially, could replace similar offerings in Phuket, Thailand, due to better infrastructure, and economic and political stability.

"The company also looking at a new site for phase three which will be in Langkawi too with an area of 20 to 25 acres," she said.

Asked about sales during the economic slowdown, Haniza said the company's business has not been affected as it was not depending on a single market.

The company expects the economy to recover and regain its strength by the first half of next year, she said.

"When banks start to offer more loans, we believe the recovery process can be faster as currently many banks are very conservative in this matter," she added.

The Langkawi project is scheduled to be completed in 36 months following the launch in March 2010.

SELEPAS pekerja bertungkus-lumus hingga ke awal pagi memberikan sentuhan terakhir, Pusat Pameran Antarabangsa Mahsuri (MIEC) hari ini bersedia menyambut kira-kira 40,000 pengunjung perdagangan dan 236 delegasi dari 40 negara bagi membuka tirai edisi ke-10 Pameran Lima '09.

Antara yang pasti menjadi perhatian struktur 'radome' menempatkan sistem radar dibangunkan jurutera tempatan Composites Technology Research Malaysia Sdn Bhd (CTRM), syarikat yang lebih terkenal sebagai pengeluar dan pembekal komponen komposit untuk pesawat Airbus dan Boeing.

Radome berbentuk seperti bola golf berdiri setinggi 16 meter di pekarangan dewan pameran itu, dibangunkan untuk melindungi antena radar daripada bencana alam seperti ribut, kilat dan elemen semula jadi lain.
Persiapan Sapura pula tidak kurang hebatnya dengan tapak pameran 250 kaki persegi mempamerkan penyelesaian komunikasi bersepadu dibangunkannya dikenali sebagai 1Network.

Di tengah tapak pameran diletakkan simulator penerbangan boleh diubah suai mengikut kehendak dan keperluan pelanggan.

Tapak pameran EADS pula mempertontonkan dua helikopter, EC120B dan EC135.

Syarikat pengeluar dan pembekal peralatan pertahanan itu juga mengeluarkan helikopter serangan Tiger untuk angkatan tentera Perancis dan Jerman.

Lima'09 juga mempamerkan pesawat pencegah/tempur Boeing F-111 Aardvark milik Tentera Udara Diraja Australia. Pesawat dengan skim warna kelabu pudar bagi tujuan mengelirukan musuh itu dijadualkan beraksi pada pertunjukan udara.

Ia mula berkhidmat sebagai sebahagian daripada angkatan pesawat tempur RAAF pada 1973. Pesawat juga dikenali sebagai 'Babi' kerana memiliki keistimewaan memburu pada waktu malam dan dalam cuaca buruk, selain dilengkapi radar khusus bagi mengesan pergerakan di darat.

Australia mengendalikan dua skuadron Aardvark, No 1 dan No 6, kedua-duanya berpangkalan di Amberley, berdekatan Brisbane. Pesawat enjin berkembar akan ditukar dengan ketibaan Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets tahun depan.

Lima'09, buat pertama kalinya menggabungkan kedua-dua pameran udara dan maritim di bawah satu bumbung. HW Lima Sdn Bhd diberi kepercayaan menganjurkannya.

Dr M happy with better life of Langkawi folk

LANGKAWI: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has expressed happiness over the change for the better in the livelihood of the people of Langkawi following the development which has come to the legendary island.

He said he noticed that many wooden dwellings lacking basic facilities had transformed into concrete houses over the years, and attributed the development partly to a cement factory established in Teluk Ewa, Ayer Hangat.

“This was part of the intensive development which Langkawi had undergone and was being felt by the islanders,” he said at a dinner Saturday night to raise funds for the Langkawi branch of the National Association for the Prevention of Drug Abuse (Pemadam Langkawi).

Also present was Dr Mahathir’s wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali.

Dr Mahathir received cheques amounting to RM65,000 from various bodies for Pemadam Langkawi.

The former prime minister said there was still room to further develop Langkawi, in terms of providing employment opportunities and setting up business such as barter trade at the Teluk Ewa port.

He also advised parents and teachers to create awareness in children on the dangers of taking drugs. -- Bernama
