The achievement which focuses on sustainable energy is testament to Sime Darby Property’s pledge to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050, referencing the science-based target of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. 

Sime Darby Property’s Group Managing Director, Dato' Azmir Merican said that the Company is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint and mitigating the effects of climate change by embracing innovative and sustainable practices within its townships and developments.

“In line with our purpose to be a Value Multiplier for People, Businesses, Economies and the Planet, we will continue to reimagine public spaces through innovative placemaking initiatives while actively taking proactive measures in reducing our carbon emissions at our townships and developments over the long-term,” he added.

The achievements were celebrated alongside the opening of the second phase of the townpark, which at 50 acres is the largest townpark in the royal city of Klang. The Bandar Bukit Raja Townpark is part of a growing list of placemaking initiatives which build strong, resilient, and thriving communities.

The townpark is also home to a gorgeous wetland and provides opportunities for the communities to engage with nature. Parkgoers can appreciate the serene surroundings and indulge in various family-friendly recreational activities such as cycling, jogging, and urban farming among others.

Biggest Solar-Powered Signage

Dato’ Azmir believes that placemaking goes beyond physical design and involves creating spaces that reflect the values, aspirations, and needs of the community. “The Bandar Bukit Raja Townpark adds vibrancy through nature, iconic structures, state-of-the-art amenities and public spaces that enhance urban vitality and foster community health, happiness, and well-being. Thank you to Malaysia Book of Records for the recognitions,” he said.
