Environmental Enlightenment

A man ahead of his time, Dato’ Teo Chiang Kok of Bandar Utama fame has no problems combining his great love of nature and the environment together with his passion for creating enlightened, socially-conscious communities and townships.

In light of Earth Hour this month, Diana Khoo meets up with the highly-regarded property personality and de facto head of the First Nationwide Group to talk about how developers can play a pivotal role in ensuring everyday life gets, not just greener, but better.

Malaysia is a country on the move and, looking around Kuala Lumpur, it also seems to be constantly reaching for greater heights, evident by the many tall buildings studding the landscape. And yet, should you happen to be peering at the rooftops from a bird’s line of vision, you’d notice veritable eyesores staring you in the face.
