A GROUP of about 100 people from Hong Kong exit a tour bus that’s parked at the base of Phileo Damansara in Petaling Jaya, making their way up excitedly to Sheng Tai International Sdn Bhd, a diversified real estate, investment management and hospitality firm.
They are in Malaysia for four days and will be viewing a few developments, namely Novo in Jalan Ampang and The Sail and Regalia Beach Front, both in Melaka.
Sheng Tai will also be organising a durian party for the tourists. A couple of long tables have been set up in front of Sheng Tai sales office and across the road under a cab stand. A few rows of durians still in their thorny shells were on the tables, lined with white table cloths, red plastic chairs neatly tucked under the tables.
In the sales office, a Sheng Tai staff briefs guests about Novo. In another part of the sales gallery, Julia Chow has a tablet in front of her. Chow, in her early 30s, is seriously considering buying a unit as a holiday home.
