What’s bold, bright, and setting new standards? Earlier this month, it was MSpace@Maybank Tower.
The flagship launch unveiled a space designed to foster connection, featuring open layouts and vibrant greenery. Guests were also introduced to Maybank's heritage wall, a showcase of over 60 years of milestones as a bank that has grown alongside Singapore.
With a reimagined tiger dance to open the evening, the launch marked the beginning of a new chapter - one focused on bringing people closer through thoughtful design and meaningful connections.

Maybank Securities analysts Li Jialin and Eric Ong have maintained their 'buy' recommendation for LHN shares following the recent announcement that we won the tender for the former Bukit Timah Fire Station and entered into a joint venture to acquire the Wilmer Place property.
These properties will be used to host our Coliwoo Singapore co-living space, which will enhance our offerings and presence in prime locations.

🇸🇬 The largest REIT in Singapore, CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust recently announced it will acquire a 50% stake in #IONOrchard, the prime retail mall along Orchard Road.
Krishna Guha, Maybank Securities Singapore REITs analyst says:
✅ The SGD1.08 bil will boost CICT’s presence in the city centre, and strengthen CICT’s position as a proxy for Singapore commercial real estate.
✅ The mall has a catchment of <10k hotel rooms and >20k residential units in the vicinity, with no known new retail supply until 2027.
✅ The impending interest rate cuts should lift the REITs sector sentiment, flows and transactions.

Bursa Malaysia, in growing the retail investment segment, continues to drive initiatives that increase access to investment opportunities, and that attract new investors to the marketplace.

Read more about it here https://lnkd.in/gpTQgXYJ in her recent interview with Share Investor.
“It’s not a zero-sum game, and these two cities are not mutually exclusive,” shared William Chow, Deputy Group CEO, Raffles Family Office, with Professional Wealth Management (PWM)'s Yuri Bender on the ongoing competition between Asian wealth hubs for global tycoons.
Hong Kong or Singapore? Major Chinese families are spreading their wealth across both centres, observes William Chow, and he believes this is a “well-thought-out decision” that maximises resilience and growth opportunities. "Singapore doesn’t have typhoons that disrupt the market, but Hong Kong is also evolving and has rolled out rules that allow the market to continue trading in extreme weather," explains William Chow, who sees both centres as complementary pillars—essential parts of a proactive wealth strategy.
With diversification as a cornerstone of effective risk management, the unique strengths of both Hong Kong and Singapore enable families to build resilience while capitalising on the complementary opportunities each market presents, ultimately expanding possibilities.
It's about building a legacy that stands on multiple pillars, embracing the strengths of Asia’s most dynamic wealth hubs, across borders and across generations.

The question itself hints at some key ingredients for growth, both personal and organizational. Here are some possible answers based on the prompt and the real-world example of Wei Wei Ng and UOB Malaysia:
**For Individuals:**
* **A Desire to Learn:** This is the foundation for growth. It involves being curious, open to new experiences, and constantly seeking ways to improve your knowledge and skills.
* **Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone:** Growth often happens when you challenge yourself with new things. This could involve taking on new projects, learning new skills, or putting yourself in unfamiliar situations.
* **Embracing Feedback:** Feedback, even critical feedback, can be a valuable tool for identifying areas for improvement.
* **Setting Goals and Taking Action:** Having clear goals provides direction and motivation. But it's just as important to take action and work towards those goals.
**For Organizations:**
* **A Growth Mindset:** Similar to individuals, organizations need to embrace a growth mindset that values learning, adaptation, and innovation.
* **Investing in People:** Employees are the engine of growth. Organizations that invest in their people's development will be better positioned to succeed.
* **Encouraging a Culture of Experimentation:** Organizations that encourage experimentation and calculated risks are more likely to discover new opportunities and stay ahead of the curve.
* **Customer Focus:** Growth ultimately comes from meeting the needs of your customers. Organizations that prioritize customer satisfaction are more likely to thrive.
The example of Wei Wei Ng and UOB Malaysia suggests that leadership plays a crucial role in sparking growth. A CEO who champions growth and fosters a culture that supports it can be a powerful driver of organizational success.

You're absolutely right. Unity from top to bottom is crucial for healthy enterprise development. Here's why:
**Stronger Decision-Making:**
* **Diverse Ideas:** When everyone feels heard, you get a wider range of ideas and perspectives. This leads to better-informed decisions that address various needs within the company.
* **Fewer Blind Spots:** Leaders can't see everything. Employees on the ground floor have valuable insights that leadership might miss. Open communication helps avoid decisions based on incomplete information.
**Improved Morale and Productivity:**
* **Feeling Valued:** Employees who feel their voice matters are more engaged and motivated. They take ownership of their work and contribute more effectively.
* **Collaboration:** When communication flows freely, teams can collaborate better. This reduces friction, improves problem-solving, and ultimately boosts productivity.
**Increased Adaptability:**
* **Faster Response:** Enterprises face constant change. With open communication, concerns and new ideas can be brought to light quickly, allowing for faster adaptation to evolving situations.
* **Innovation:** A culture of open communication fosters a safe space for creativity and experimentation. This can lead to groundbreaking innovations that give the company a competitive edge.
Here are some ways to achieve this kind of unity:
* **Regular Meetings:** Encourage open discussions where everyone can share ideas and concerns.
* **Feedback Mechanisms:** Create anonymous or open feedback systems so employees feel comfortable expressing themselves.
* **Empowerment:** Give employees ownership over their work and the authority to make decisions within their area of expertise.
By fostering a culture of unity and open communication, your enterprise can tap into the collective intelligence of its workforce, leading to a more successful and sustainable future.
