New Straits Times: Bina Darulaman to develop Malaysia’s first global senior living hub
KUALA LUMPUR: Bina Darulaman Bhd’s subsidiary, Aman Lagenda Sdn Bhd (ALSB), has entered into a joint venture and shareholders agreement (JVSA) with Seterra Holdings Sdn Bhd to develop a premier international hub for retirement, senior living and assisted living services.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Bina Darulaman said the JVSA is contingent on the fulfilment of several condition precedents (CPs) with both ALSB and Seterra committed to undertaking the necessary steps to meet them.
It added that the CPs must be fulfilled within six months from the date of the agreement, with an automatic six-month extension if needed.
The JVSA forms part of the progress following Bina Darulaman’s venture into the silver economy through elder care services in Langkawi, which was announced on Aug 8, 2024.
“The company will provide regular updates on the progress of the JVSA,” it said in the filing.
In a separate filing, Bina Darulaman said it has unveiled Aman Seterra Sanctuary, the world’s first international islamic-inspired retirement sanctuary.
Its group executive director Raja Shahreen Raja Othman said the project, situated in Kuala Temoyong, Langkawi, is in line with the rapidly growing silver economy, which is expected to surpass US$9.1 trillion by 2029.
“This visionary project spans 12.42 acres and is the first in Malaysia tailored to serve both international retirees and local senior citizens. It integrates independent living, assisted care, and long-term support in a single, purpose-built community.
“Aman Seterra Sanctuary will incorporate eco-friendly design principles, community gardens, and open green spaces, offering retirees a serene, resort-style environment with the comforts of modern living, at an affordable price point,” he said.
Berita Harian: Perkampungan Persaraan Berinspirasikan Islam Pertama Dunia Dibina Di Langkawi
ALOR SETAR: Bina Darulaman Bhd (BDB) merancang membangunkan Aman Seterra Sanctuary, perkampungan persaraan antarabangsa berinspirasikan Islam yang pertama di dunia.
Pengarah Eksekutif Kumpulan BDB, Raja Shahreen Raja Othman, berkata statistik Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia (DOSM) menunjukkan negara ini melepasi ambang masyarakat menua pada tahun lalu.
Katanya, ini akan menyebabkan permintaan bagi perkhidmatan khusus bagi warga emas akan meningkat dan pihaknya bersedia menjadi model kepada penyediaan komuniti persaraan mampan.
“Aman Seterra Sanctuary akan dibangunkan di kawasan seluas lima hektar di Kuala Temoyong, Langkawi yang menjadi penempatan persaraan pertama seumpamanya di Malaysia dan memenuhi keperluan dari seluruh dunia.
“Ia akan menyediakan perkhidmatan kepada pesara dan juga warga emas tempatan dengan mengintegrasikan konsep kediaman bebas, bantuan penjagaan, dan penjagaan jangka panjang,” katanya pada sidang media di sini, hari ini.
Terdahulu, BDB melalui anak syarikat milik penuhnya, Aman Lagenda Sdn Bhd menandatangani perjanjian usaha sama dan perjanjian pemegang saham bersama Seterra Holdings bagi pembangunan projek berkenaan.
Turut hadir, Pengerusi BDB, Che Had Dhali; Pengerusi Eksekutif Seterra Group of Companies, M Yusof Ahamad dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, Seterra Group of Companies, Rashidi Yahaya.
Raja Shahreen berkata, Aman Seterra Sanctuary dibangunkan di lokasi strategik yang akan memanfaatkan keindahan alam semula jadi setempat bagi menarik kedatangan pesara dari luar negara.
“Kita menjangkakan Aman Seterra Sanctuary dapat meningkatkan potensi pelancongan perubatan dengan menarik minat pesara dari negara seperti Jepun, Australia, Singapura, United Kingdom (UK) dan Eropah.
“Ini akan meletakkan Malaysia sebagai hab persaraan di rantau ini, sekali gus menjadi pencetus bagi memanfaatkan potensi ‘ekonomi perak’ yang bernilai trilion dolar Amerika Syarikat (AS),” katanya.
