Southeast Asia's Largest IC Design Park

He had successfully attracted investments from two Malaysian diasporas: Dato Ks Phua, the founder of Phison Electronics who resides in Taiwan, and Dr. Salleh, co-founder of Weeroc, a leading French fabless semiconductor manufacturer.[11]

The DRT service operates in Puchong, Ampang, Bandar Utama, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Klang, Serdang and Hulu Kelang.
This eight month pilot project has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the public as it provides affordable (RM2 flat rate) and flexible transportation options. Selangor State Government is giving consideration to expanding this DRT service to other areas to further enhance the accessibility of this service.[12]

In addition to providing hot meals, Dapur Kinrara also organizes food distribution drives and other community outreach programs. These initiatives aim to reach a wider range of individuals and families in need, ensuring that no one is left behind.
Solving the Flood Problem in Kinrara

A discussion was held with YB Federal Territories Minister and Dato Mayor of DBKL. YB Minister finally agreed to carry out and expedite the work.
