Daesim Group adds Starlink Hotel to its stable
SIBU: The soft opening of Starlink Hotel at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman marks another milestone for the Daesim Group of Companies.
Group chairman Datuk Lau Ngie Hua said they had come a long way since Star (later rebranded Daesim) first started in 1975 as a small stall trader at Pasar Malam in Jalan Market here.
From there, the businesses thrived before they regrouped and expanded their circles.
“For all our success, we owe it to the people’s support all these years which we are very thankful for,” he said at the hotel’s soft opening yesterday morning.
From a ‘pasar malam’ trader in the early years, Lau said they then moved their business to Sarawak House in 1979 before relocating to Jalan Channel in the 1980s.
In 2007, the Group decided to come up with Star Megamall at Jalan Tunku Rahman (present site), taking them four years to complete. Business started operating in 2011.
Lau said they were now looking into coming up with phase 2 of the Star Megamall project which would accommodate more facilities such has a bigger food court, a cinema with seven halls and also more than 400 stalls.
“We are also looking into building a 9-storey service apartment, to be sited in front of Star Megamall. All these are still in the early preparation,” he added.
On Starlink Hotel, Lau said this was the group’s first foray into the hotel business.
The 11-storey hotel comes with 144 rooms, all fully furnished with top class facilities like WiFi and television sets.
There are five type of rooms with prices for superior king at RM98, superior twin (RM98), superior triple (RM138), accessible room (RM98) and family suite (RM188).
