Setia Alam, S P Setias newest township
development in Klang Valley got off to a
sizzling start with a crowd numbering over
5,000 people packing its day-long fun-filled
carnival celebration held in conjunction with
its official launch on 11 April 2004.
The project is a 2,500-acre self-contained
mixed residential township styled as natures
sanctuary strategically located in Shah Alam.
Setia Alams tagline In Touch With Nature, is a
clear statement of S P Setias commitment
to marrying mother nature with the best
that modern living has to offer in a
showcase of development excellence.
Selangor Menteri Besar, YAB Dato Seri Dr
Mohamad Khir Toyo was present as the
Guest of Honour to perform the ground
breaking ceremony for the construction of
the Setia Alam Interchange on the New Klang
Valley Expressway - Jalan Meru (NKVE-Jalan
Meru) Link followed by the ribbon cutting
ceremony to officiate the launch of the Setia
Alam project.
The Setia Alam Interchange is among the four
interchanges comprised within the NKVE-
Jalan Meru Link, ensuring the smooth flow
and dispersal of traffic. The other three
interchanges are Setia Barat, Setia Timur and
Bandar Setia Alam respectively.
The NKVE - Jalan Meru Link will run across
the Setia Alam township, providing direct
connection from Km 3.5 of the NKVE to Km
7 of Jalan Meru, Klang. It is currently 30%
completed and is expected to be ready by
end 2005 and open to traffic in early 2006.
Dr Khir in his speech praised S P Setia for
building a toll-free NKVE - Jalan Meru Link to
contribute towards the development of the
road infrastructure system in the Klang and
Shah Alam areas.

On the corporate front, our 50%

Has anyone noticed? Yes! We are
sporting a new look. Trendier,
breezier and livelier, we hope to get
your thumbs up for this long over-due
makeover. One fine day, the editorial
members finally sat down and put on
our thinking hats to redesign the
newsletter. Our masthead and the
overall colour scheme is now a
warmer green and blue shade while
the typeface is more reader-friendly.
Hopefully, our effort will result in a
much better read for our staff as well
as our valued customers. The last
few months have been filled with
excitement as we shifted into full gear
to cope with the buoyant business
environment. Our biggest project to
date, Setia Alam has finally taken off to
a flying start. We are proud that the
whole Setia family from North to
South turned out in full force to
support the launch carnival and the
slew of subsequent promotional
activities. This is the kind of team spirit
that will help us go far in our
continuous quest to be the best in all
we do!

Setia Putrajaya Sdn Bhd (Setia Putrajaya) is
set to take-over the listing status of Kramat
Tin Dredging Bhd (Kramat Tin) on Bursa
Malaysia upon completion of the latters
restructuring exercise.
On 24 April 2004, S P Setia signed an
agreement with Kramat Tin, Prudent
Location Sdn Bhd (Prudent), Putrajaya
Holdings Sdn Bhd, Abad Kilat Sdn Bhd and
Kelana Ventures Sdn Bhd (Kelana Ventures)
to effect a series of transactions as part of
the restructuring plan.
Prudent, a newly incorporated company, will
buy Setia Putrajaya for RM148 million
through an issue of 74 million shares at
RM1 each and 74 million irredeemable

convertible preference shares (ICPS) at
RM1 each.
Prudent will also buy 272.02 acres of
development land in Tebrau, Johor from
Kelana Ventures for RM59.25 million
through the issuance of 29.62 million shares
at RM1 each and 29.62 million ICPS.
Prudent will then acquire 100% of Kramat
Tin for RM27.72 million through an issuance
of 13.86 million shares and 13.86 million
ICPS on the basis of 3.5 Prudent shares and
3.5 Prudent ICPS for every Kramat Tin
share held.
At the signing ceremony held at the Mutiara
Hotel Kuala Lumpur, YBhg Datuk Mohd
Hashim Hassan, Chairman of Putrajaya
Holdings said it is heartening that Setia
Putrajaya which began as a joint-venture
vehicle for the development of the new
Federal Administrative Capital of Putrajaya
will be transformed into a listed entity
which will not only continue its role in
shaping the vibrant city of Putrajaya but also
be able to export its proven expertise to
Johor, the second biggest property market
in the country.
As a listed property development
company, I am confident Prudent will be
able to leverage on its track record in
developing the model garden city of
Putrajaya to introduce to the Johor house-
buying public the world-class standards of
township development, he added.
Our disciplined application of this theory
has ensured a consistent stream of income
which has contributed strongly to our
ability to deliver string earnings growth, he
explained.
This acknowledgement is another coup for

S P Setia sets sight on superior
customer service
construction
update
GM dialogue with all Setia Precast staff
In todays increasingly competitive marketplace, property
developers are keeping up with each other by
implementing similar marketing strategies and building
houses based on similar concepts.

In order to move ahead of the competition it is necessary
for us to distinguish ourselves from our competitors by
providing superior customer service as this will give us a
competitive edge in the long term. In line with this
aspiration, the company has established a new
department, Service Quality Management (SQM), under
the Group Quality and Customer Care (GQCC) division,
to spearhead customer-focused initiatives.
Having the right policies and procedures on customer
service is not going to lead to success in delivering
superior customer service if our staff do not have the
right service mindset and the necessary service skills.
Therefore, customer service training programmes
continue to play a vital role in ensuring that staff are
instilled with the right service mindset and equipped with
the necessary service skills. SQM will review these
training programmes from time to time so that the
trainings are relevant and effective.
The journey towards attaining superior customer service
is a never ending one and it will require the unending
support and commitment from team Setia! Lets do it
together!
GM dialog has been conducted by Setia Precast GM and its
management group with all project site staff in USJ, BSA,
Puchong, Putrajaya, Ampang and Puchong head office in
March 2004. The dialogue session with AIMST project staff
will follow soon. The purpose of the dialog is to have a direct
communication channel with all Setia Precast staff from the
crane operator to the assistant manager. The future direction
of Setia Precast was shared with all staff and feedback were
gathered to inculcate a better team-spirit and achieve
improvement in work environment and performance. The GM
dialogue, which was very effective will be conducted from
time to time in our quest for continuous excellence.
SQMs main responsibilities are to:

Develop company policies, procedures and
performance standards which affect customer
service practices

Partner with business units to align customer
service policies and systems with company
objectives

Ensure the delivery of consistent customer
services across all customer contact points

Oversee compliance of service personnel with
established company policies and standards

Track and monitor the performance of the
companys customer service initiatives

Indah Villa - A sanctuary to your heart's desire
On 13 November 2003, S P Setia together

SSRC bids farewell to its president
Great fun at dart throwing competition
SSRC held a farewell party for Mr Lai
Chong Haur, our past president on 9 March
2004 in appreciation of his contributions to
the company as well as the club. While we
parted with heavy hearts, we were also
happy to see him off to greener pastures.
Everyone was in a jovial mood as we
chatted and joked in fond remembrance of
the great times we had while tucking into
the tasty food. Mr Lee Kee Meng, our
current Acting President of SSRC also
presented a small parting gift to Mr Lai as a
gesture of thanks for his effort in leading
the club over the years.
The 1st Inter-Division Dart Competition
was successfully held at Setia-Wood premise
in Rawang on 25 April 2004. Congratulations
to the Setia Precast and Construction Team
which was crowned Champion of the
Competition. The 1st Runner-Up was team
Estate Management/ Security Services/
GQCC/IBD/CCD/GIA and second place
went to our gracious host, team Setia-Wood
and Infrastructure. Meanwhile, the best
male player title went to En Abdul Latif
Mohd Hassan (Estate Management) while
the best female player was Cik Siti Mariam
(Bukit Indah Johor). The deft moves by the
dart throwers and the crowd of
supporters during the Competition are
surely signs that the fun game is fast
catching up as a favourite among Setia staff.
Futsal fun at Kelab Indah tournament
The futsal tournament for 19 years old and
below which was held for the second time
this year has gathered 23 teams.

The ever-enthusiastic teams came in their
full soccer gear and headed straight for the
football pitch to first watch a demonstration
by Kelab Indah's soccer team.

Shortly, the tournament started at 9.00 am
with each team displaying their best shot at
the pitch as the cheering crowd shouted
their favourite team names.

The slight drizzle over the late afternoon
did not deter the winning teams from
taking home cash prizes worth over
RM500 and trophies.

The tournament ended on a happy note for
the soccer teams with Kelab Indah promising
to make this event an annual affair.
Staying healthy in body, mind & spirit
Kelab Indah recently organised a Yoga &
Fitness Programme at the club's lobby area.
Many members as well as the public turned
up to catch the fitness angels (as they call
themselves) demonstrate the yoga and
kickboxing exercises. Certified Fitness
Instructor, Ms. Veronica who heads the
group shed light on the benefits of doing
regular yoga exercises. The yoga classes for
women are now on every Friday from 8 pm
to 9 pm. Yoga for men will soon commence
on every Wednesday from 8 pm to 9 pm.

As for kickboxing exercise, it is a workout
that combines aerobics, cardiovascular and
body toning. It also improves strength and
help tone up the muscles. Classes are
scheduled every Wednesday from 9 pm to
10 pm.

Interested parties can register for the above
classes at the front desk of Kelab Indah.

They say, If you havent seen Mt. Kinabalu, you havent seen South
East Asia. But, climbing Mt Kinabalu is not an everyday feat of sight
seeing! To many, climbing this peak is nothing less than a distant
dream. 15 adventurous members of the Setia Sports and Recreation
Club made that dream a reality! They risked injury and pride to
climb this mountain high.
At first there were hesitations about the cold weather and the
hazardous trek. The training itself was daunting for simple office folk
like them. Sitting at their desks, drawing up the itinerary all secretly
questioned their pursuit. Their world was watching. Could they
conquer this peak and live to tell it?
They did more than just
that. They proved to
themselves that it is all in
your mind! Some came
home with a changed
perspective of life, others
wore the mask of
overflowing confidence and
yet the rest could not stop
talking about their discovery
of the breathtaking beauty
of this mountain. Yes, indeed,
these people came, saw and conquered!
Here are some precious impressions of Mt Kinabalu from of our
brave climbers.
Richard Low Dee Hong, Setia Putrajaya, 4095.20m - Even though
I was tired, hungry and cold, the magnificent view of the mountain at
Lows Gully, Kundasang Valley and the rich flora made me forget
everything. Words cannot describe it!
Angeline Lim, Setia Precast, balance 200m I had wonderful friends
who cared and motivated me along the journey. Mt. KK is a great
challenge and the beauty of mother nature is hidden along the mountain.
Ding Siock Kee, Setia Wood, 4095.20m - It was my dream to reach
the peakand at last, I did it!
Tay Yong Chee, MIS, 4095.20m Very, very tired but I felt proud
that I made it.
Yon Siok Kwai, Setia Precast, 4095.20m - Go slowly, step by step,
and you will reach the top.
Carmen Lam, MIS, 4095.20m 30% physical 70% mental is what I
learned throughout the climbtons of sweat, beautiful scenery, variety
of plant species, undeterminable change in weather fills my
memories.if you think you BOLEH.you BOLEH!
Ivy Wong Sook Fun, GQCC, 4095.20m This expedition was an eye-
opener. Besides beautiful mountains and valleys, I saw poverty and scarcity
of resources. I tell myself that I am blessedI grew much and realised
that many things in life are actually achievable if we try harder..
Tok Lee Ping, GCF, 4095.20m I wished to leave my footprint on Mt
KinabaluI have. The magnificent view made me realize the beauty of
life.
Steven Ho Kian Heng, Setia Precast, 4095.20m In the end, I
gained from my suffering!
Syed Mohamad Amin, Setia Estate Management, 4095.20m
Alangkah rasa megahnya bila kaki ini berdiri di kemuncak Gunung
Kinabalu dalam kedinginan bayu pagi yang menghembus sambil kabus
nipis menyelimut tubuh dan melihat keindahan alam persekitaran yang
mana tidak semua orang berkesempatan melakukannya.

Students prove poverty no barrier
to success
National Transplant Resource Centre gets own vehicle
setia
care
Some 155 Setia Adopted Children proved
that poverty is no barrier to success when
they were feted and rewarded for obtaining
outstanding UPSR results at the Annual
Excellence Award Night held at the Grand
Seasons Hotel on 10 January 2004.
The award ceremony was part of S P Setia
Foundations effort to give recognition to
the students under its Setia Adoption
Programme for excelling in last years UPSR
examination. While no stranger to hardship
with many coming from poor or single
parent families, their strong determination
to succeed spurred them on to overcome
obstacles and achieve excellent academic
results.
During the ceremony, Foundation Chairman,
Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye presented cash prizes
and dictionaries to the young beneficiaries
from various states who traveled to the city
center with their proud parents. I hope the
award and prizes will serve as incentive for
the students to study even harder for
success as they progress to secondary and
even to tertiary education, he said.
A total of 502 Setia Adopted Children sat
for the UPSR examination in 2003 with
the public on the need for organ donation.
Previously, the Centre needed to share
usage of vehicles with the Kuala Lumpur
Hospital each time it wanted to carry out
its own activities.
Foundation trustee Tan Sri Zaki Tun Azmi
presented a giant mock key to the van to
the Kuala Lumpur Hospital director, Dr. Hj.
Jalal Halil Khalil at the hand-over ceremony
held at the hospitals premise.
The National Transplant Resource Centre
based in the Kuala Lumpur Hospital recently
received a brand new Nissan Vanette C22
van sponsored by the S P Setia Foundation.
The van will be used as the official vehicle of
the Centre to carry out organ donation
awareness and promotional campaigns to
encourage more people to register as organ
pledgers.
Having its own van will give the Centre a big
boost in meeting its objectives to educate
about 15% achieving excellent results. Of the
155 rewarded, 74 straight A scorers received
the Excellent Award while 81 recipients took
home the Achievement Award. All were given
RM200 cash prize and a dictionary.
Meanwhile, the Achievement Award
recognises students who have shown marked
improvement in their examination results
with cash prize of RM50 and a dictionary.
During the ceremony, Appreciation Award
was also presented to schools with the best
academic performance and have given firm
support to the Adoption Programme.
Meanwhile, 17 individuals, comprising teacher
and headmasters were also recognised for
their generous support and dedicated
contributions towards the success of the
Adoption Programme.
Writing effectively in the business environment
3-Day Induction Program
Group Human Resources through its Training Department has successfully organized the 1st Writing Effectively in the Business
Environment Training in Sheraton Subang Hotel & Towers on 7 and 14 February 2004. A total of 24 staff attended the program and
each of the participants has been taught the importance of professional corporate image, to produce grammatically correct sentences
and also to develop crucial communication skills to successfully transmit messages at all levels for better co-operation with colleagues
and clients.
At the end of every quarter, new employees are invited to attend a New Employee Induction Program.
The 1st Batch was completed from 23 to 25 March 2004 and followed by the 2nd Batch on 28 and 29 April 2004.
This is a 3-Day program which focuses on Personal Excellence and Team Excellence for the first 2 days. On Day 3, new employees
were briefed on the companys back ground, history, business directions, cultures & values, policies & procedures and performance
expectations were set.

The purpose of the program is to help new employees settle in and start out on a confident note.
