It is a lifestyle resort for the golden years,” says Aurelian Land Sdn Bhd CEO Joseph Chong as he takes us on a tour of Aurel Sanctuary’s sales gallery in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang.
With the nearby mountain range, lush greenery and absence of traffic noise, it is easy to see why Aurel Sanctuary would appeal to retirees. But make no mistake, this is not an old folks home or a nursing home. In fact, says Chong, it is the first of its kind in Malaysia.
“Aurel Sanctuary is an innovative pioneer development that aims to fulfil the needs of Malaysia’s silver generation by providing a holistic approach to growing old. It is open to those aged 50 and above for long-term stay.
“The development boasts the symbol AU, which represents gold on the periodic table of the elements. It is translated from the Latin word ‘aureus’, which means gilded and golden, a precious treasure,” he explains.
When Chong and his team started working on the project in 2013, the first thing they did was to look at the challenges faced by seniors citizens — accessibility, mobility and finding meaningful things to do, among others.
“What do seniors want? Age-friendly designs, products and services. A tight-knit social circle with people who can accept them. They want convenience and safety. They want high-quality daily living. And that is what Aurel Sanctuary will offer them,” says Chong.
At a 45-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur, Aurel Sanctuary is located 1,500ft above sea level. It comprises two 23-storey towers called Amity and Bliss, which will have a built-up of either 1,006 sq ft or 1,175 sq ft.
Aurel Sanctuary is the brainchild of Chong, who is the former managing director of Malton Bhd. Sitting on the board are chairman Datuk Rosie Tan, chief operating officer Gerard Tan, chief technical officer Wong Chee Weng, executive director Sunny Lai and Chong.
Rosie is the group CEO of Tan Chong Motor Holdings Bhd while Gerard was formerly with OSK Property Holdings Bhd and Glomac Bhd. Lai was the valuation director of Jones Lang Wootton and Wong has over 31 years of construction experience.
“Our team is well versed in property development. In the beginning, we needed financiers, so we talked to a number of developers. Many of them just wanted to know the bottom line and how long it would take them to get a return on their investment because they have the mindset of a developer.
“Then we presented our ideas to Rosie and she told me, ‘I like your passion and this is something we need to do for Malaysians.’ She has been on board with us since and is very passionate about the project,” says Chong.
On the advisory board are Cardiac Vascular Sentral Kuala Lumpur consultant cardiothoracic surgeon Tan Sri Dr Yahya Awang; TVM Capital Healthcare Partners senior adviser, Singhealth and Singapore General Hospital ex-deputy CEO, Karen Tay; Melbourne-based Independent Management Group (IMG) former managing director and founder Susan Malone; and ZICO Law Network — a network of independent law firms in the Asean region in association with ZICO Group — chairman Chew Seng Kok.
High-quality living
Chong says that by 2030, Malaysia will become an ageing nation. While other countries have begun preparations for their ageing population, Malaysia has not, he adds.
“We Asians work very hard and are thrifty but we can’t find high-quality living. It’s not about having the best car or the most luxurious dwellings. A condo may be luxurious and well located but that doesn’t mean it is age-friendly. High-quality living also means having activities that will continue to stimulate your mind, a place where you can enjoy the environment,” Chong points out.
Aurel Sanctuary’s mission is to be a lifestyle resort for seniors with sustainable and purpose-built facilities for ageing in place and continuum of care. Its target market comprises high-net-worth people who want the finer things in life.
There are three components to Aurel Sanctuary — manifest happiness, conserve health and build a legacy.
“These days, if a person is disciplined and health-conscious, he or she can live up to 80 or 90 years old. If you retire at 60, what are you going to do from then? At the peak age of between 60 and 80 years, it is important to stay active.

In addition, the Group had submitted its new development plans on various parcels of land, some of which had already been approved by the relevant authorities. The Group has started its “Build then Sell” projects which are being funded by cash flows from asset sales that were already locked in. :)
no wonder its private placement was grabbed like hot cake :)
LOOKING FORWARD In the midst of uncertainties, going forward, the property market will remain soft amidst tight lending conditions as consumer and business sentiments remains sluggish amidst the uncertain global trade war that may affect our local economy. The Group is emerging from its financial difficulties and is poised to chart new growth in property development to build a sustainable long term business on the strength of its expertise and experience in the affordable homes niche. The strategic thrust of the Group is to leverage on our existing 782 acres of development lands in Selangor by collaborating with established companies with financial strength and capability to launch new development projects and offering innovative quality housing products and embracing new innovative product offerings in industrial warehousing and retirement homes. The Group has also earmarked a few smaller scale land banks to develop on “build and then sell” concept and has implemented the first project in Putra Perdana, Sepang. While the Group’s joint venture projects are on-going, the Group has submitted its new development plans on various parcels of land, some of which have already been approved by the relevant authorities. The Group remains committed and focus in creating value for our shareholders and will continue with its business rationalisation and operational management focus to improve its financial performance.
1. Cash raised from recent private placement is now employed for completion of Seroja Apts in Dengkil (already more than 70% completed)
2. These apts will be 100% ready by October 2019 for outright sale and on the spot delivery...no need 2 years waiting period as it will be built to completion then sell
3. Recent diversion of Ecrl to Negeri Sembilan is a blessing in disguise as The Seroja Apts will now sell even faster by virtue of Putrajaya turning into a Transport Hub junction with the convergence of 3 trains including Ecrl. This is perfect timing for TalamT
4. The fourth good reason is this.
Today I checked with Kow Hock building material supplier in Johor. They said holcim cement price has just been raised from Rm15 to Rm18 per 50 kg bag
This is an increase of 20% after YTL took over Lafarge
Now since Seroja Apt already more than 70% completed it will save cost For all developers that just launched new houses now will incur higher cement costs. So TalamT has saved on cost by building Seroja Apt first then only sell in Oct 2019
I have been observing its transformation especially its financial statements, etc for past few years... its assets can be revalued if wanted.. i think when it starts showing profit, it might revalue its land, etc together with paying dividend... its share price will fly :)
If you believe in talamt and you believe in Calvin tan, then this portfolio of for you. It is an exhaustive list of every buy call that Calvin has recommended in 2019, and all his sell calls and promotion n between on buy or hold or sell. He says his portfolio is making 200%.
I leave it up to you to decide if TALAMT is worth the pain of following for 3-5 years.
calvintaneng.... why talamt cant sustain the price at least 5 cents to show to public that this share be bought... instead of so hard sell here... what are the board directors doing there. sleep and eat public money...
Ikan Bilis berjus otak~ Pls follow instruction from our holland King and buy more and more, the more u buy, the more happy talam is, when talam become strong, they will bring back the glory of M'sia in in ternation level!! Mai mai~ offer offer to ikan bilis only~
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
