High-end, upmarket living at Perak hub |
IPOH: High-end, upmarket living with branded goods and at least 50 fine dining restaurants to choose from. That is the lifestyle the state government wants to promote among locals and tourists with the unveiling of the RM250mil Perak Tourism Hub project at Bandar Baru Medan here. |
Only the best: Tajol Rosli (right) discussing development plans with Emerald Capital Group managing director James Ong Li-Ming (second from right) on the Perak Tourism Hub project in Ipoh yesterday.
| Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Tajol Rosli Ghazali said he was impressed with the concept of Penang-based Emerald Capital Group in wanting to bring the “best of the city into a single place.” “We want the best food in the city to be made available at the hub including special gifts and branded goods which are sold only in Kuala Lumpur,” he said yesterday at the ground-breaking ceremony of the project, which comprises four multi-storey towers. This, he said, could attract visitors from as far as Thailand and Penang to stop here to shop for branded goods. Tajol Rosli said the project would be an integrated one-stop tourist information centre with an extensive shopping mall, a clubhouse with complete recreational facilities, cineplexes and a banquet hall to accommodate 2,000 people. The project is expected to be completed by 2010. | | | credit: The Star URL: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/9/7/nation/18812472&sec=nation |
