So what is the right kind of motivation to start
one’s own business? “You must have a good reason,”
Chien Fu says. “First, you must enjoy what you’re
doing and believe in it. Believe that whatever you do,
that’s the future. If you’re doing it just because you
want to try it out, don’t. You have to believe that the
products you are putting out have a future.
“Along the way, you must also understand your
purpose. Are you doing it to make a lot of money?
You won’t be able to get everyone to buy your
product. It’s more important that you believe in
your product, believe in what you’re doing. You must
have passion. If you don’t have passion, then you
won’t be successful.”
Having trained as an architect and worked in
the field since 1986, Chien Fu is a prime example
of practising what one preaches; he’s extremely
passionate about the industry he’s spent more than
three decades in. Given the kind of projects Capital
City Property is involved in, it’s not surprising that
Chien Fu is committed to the business.
Perhaps the most ambitious project, both in scale
and concept, is Capital City, a massive complex that
encompasses all entertainment factors in the onefacility, including a thematic shopping mall, the largest
indoor theme park in South-East Asia (MCM Studio),
two international hotels, the first indoor musical
circus in the region by the London Musical Circus,
and condominiums. The complex itself represents
a unique experience, by incorporating cultures from
across the world, with each of the continents
represented on a separate floor.
MCM Planet Hotel represents a similar level of
luxury, providing accommodation for the discerning
traveller. Many of the suites are, again, representative
of diverse cultures, though all uniformly glamorous.
MCM Planet Hotel also offers impressive function
rooms, as well as a gym and infinity pools on the
30th and 31st floors.
These projects characterise Chien Fu’s vision for
Capital City Property. “As the CEO of the company,
personal dedication, passion and commitment to
projects are of utmost importance,” he says. “The
most important policy for driving the company is
having a vision for the company in the future. But
at the same time, on the ground, one must commit
oneself and have the passion to carry out what one
wants to do.”Half page advert
