On a recent even-tempered evening, JLL Appraisal & Property Services Sdn Bhd hosted an intimate Ramadan buffet dinner within the confines of Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur’s Topaz Room. Served as a gesture of gratitude towards their regarded clients and investors, this appreciation dinner aimed to spotlight the support of their award-winning destination project, One Clapham—located near Battersea Park with sweeping vistas across River Thames and the southwest skyline of London.
A comprehensive hub for all of one’s real estate requirements, JLL Malaysia offers an extensive range of consultancy and advisory services. Since its inception in Malaysia in 2010, JLL Malaysia has evolved into three distinct corporate entities dedicated to addressing realty needs for buyers and stakeholders. These entities consist of JLL Appraisal & Property Services, JLL Project and Construction Management (JLLPCM), and Appraisal Property Management (APM).
Guests began arriving early in the evening for this event, anticipating the red carpet reception of Yang Amat Mulia Sharifah Khatreena Nuraniah Binti Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, the daughter of the Crown Prince of Perlis, as well as her close friend Chuah Jin Yi. Among the distinguished attendees who graced the occasion as one of JLL Malaysia’s VIP guests was Rebecca Choo, wife of Malaysian fashion designer Datuk Jimmy Choo. The affair kicked off with an opening statement by JLL Malaysia’s managing director Jamie Tan, who provided a brief overview on JLL and shared his personal journey with the organisation. At a quarter past seven, the buffet opened for ‘berbuka puasa’, offering guests the opportunity to sample a variety of Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur’s Ramadan delicacies, including Kerabu Daging Kelapa Parut, Kambing Bakar Lada Hitam, Rendang Daging Pucuk Ubi, Bubur Cha-Cha Bersago, Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Profiterole, and many more.
During the dinner, guests had the opportunity to join in on an enlightening session led by Irene Lim from Kensington Consultancy, focusing on the intricacies of UK’s property tax, personal ownership and inheritance tax planning. The session also featured interactive mini quizzes to keep guests engaged. Following this, the stage was handed over to JLL International Residential Malaysia’s Chong Shu Ling, who provided a detailed outline of the property market in Battersea, highlighting rental premiums and the unique selling points of the One Clapham development. The presentation concluded with an introduction to The Bellamy, a new venture nestled in the picturesque locations of Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs.
As the evening continued, ambient sounds of Ramadan melodies filled the air, creating a serene backdrop as guests mingled and connected with one another.
