Green Summit mulls building more affordable houses
MIRI: With property prices rising beyond the reach of many working adults and the current economic condit ions, Green Summit Development is considering building more affordable houses for the people.
According said its chief executive officer ( CEO) James Hii, consumers are setting strict priorities with their spending due to higher cost of living currently and this has led to many companies becoming reluctant to invest in new products and markets.
“We take note that the economic slowdown does not reduce the consumers’ need for housing but stimulate a demand for more costeffective products. While time like this has caused headaches to many people, Green Summit Development Group makes the best out of the current situation and sees it as opportunity,” he said during the company’s annual appreciation dinner at a hotel here last Sunday.
“We take customers at the centre of our offering. So, when we see a surge in demand for affordable housing in recent years, we promptly cater to this market by producing quality yet costeffective upcoming projects in Lopeng and Senadin,” he said.
At the function, Hii announced that Green Summit would be expanding its af fordable housing project to Matang in Kuching, undertaken by the group’s subsidiary company GSD Southland Sdn Bhd.
The company also held its first charity food fair as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity in conjunction with the opening The Food Pavilion at One TT Commercial Centre in Taman Tunku here earlier on Sunday morning.
The event raised a total of RM32,561.50 which was presented in equal share to two secondary schools — Pei Min Middle School and Riam Road Secondary School ( RRSS) — at the dinner.
On top of that, Green Summit added another RM30,000 donation to each school which was jointly handed over by Hii and Green Summit managing director Khor Ooi Long to the principals.
“We owe a great debt of gratitude to our stakeholders and members of the public for their generous support in making this charitable effort a successful one,” said Hii.
