“People with big goals will not be hindered
by small things. As a firm believer in getting
the right people and doing the right thing,
my team and I took six years to set up the
management team, while laying a strong
talent pool foundation and actively exploring
land banks throughout Kuala Lumpur,” he
says. In 2014, he rebranded this property arm
as SkyWorld Development Group to better
reflect the company’s mission to transform
cities and create the ultimate ‘sky living’
experience in a sustainable environment.
That same year, the company introduced
its first master development, the 28-acre
SkyArena at Setapak, and its Ascenda

cent take-up. This project was followed by
five others – including the renowned
Bennington Residences at SkyArena and
SkyLuxe On The Park at Bukit Jalil – that
were received just as positively, with a total
gross development value of more than
RM1.9 billion. “We’re proud to be a nicheproperty player with city development
positioning and we’re slowly but surely
gaining sales and brand prominence,” he says.
“This wouldn’t have been possible without
the support of our team, business partners
and purchasers.”

location. Therefore, we decided to only focus

positioned ourselves as a city developer,” he
explains. “In less than 10 years, we have gone
from strength to strength – receiving more
than 20 awards, recording successful property
launches, and gaining double-digit financial
growth. We’re the first property developer to
establish the First Quality Centre in Malaysia,
pledging our commitment to deliver quality
projects in compliance with QLASSIC
(Quality Assessment System in Construction)
and CONQUAS (Construction Quality
Assessment System) standards,” Datuk Ng
explains. “Our popular SkyAwani affordable
