Yoma strategic’s sixth shareholders' trip: success in yangon
Day 1: Arrival in Yangon: Exploring our Key Businesses
The day kicked off bright and early, with a 7:55am flight from Singapore to Yangon. Despite the early hour, it was delightful to see our enthusiastic shareholders at Changi Airport, a mix of familiar faces from previous trips and newcomers eager to experience our operations in Yangon.
On arrival in Yangon, shareholders were pleasantly surprised by the airport’s modern facilities. During the bus transfer to Pun Hlaing Estate, home to our hotel and one of our three flagship real estate developments, shareholders observed Yangon’s cityscape. The bustling streets scenes from the bus windows provided a glimpse into the blend of urban life and local culture, setting the stage for their exploration of our operations in Yangon.
Settling into the Awei Metta hotel, our shareholders’ journey commenced with a visit to The Campus, our head office located in Pun Hlaing Estate. This visit and an overview of our HR initiatives provided them with a firsthand look at our culture and workplace, offering valuable insights into our day-to-day operations. Notably, many shareholders observed that our workforce mirrored the youthful demographics of Myanmar’s population.
Day 2: Discovering Yangon's Culture and Yoma Land Development
We assembled at 9:00 am at Awei Metta, beginning with a visit to the City Loft West showflat and a tour of the Paduak Gardens project. Both developments have witnessed robust sales within our affordable housing offerings.
Following our morning activities, we delved into the vibrant Junction City shopping mall in downtown Yangon, fully immersing ourselves in the pulsating retail atmosphere. Shareholders seized the opportunity to shop for local food products at the supermarket. Alongside shopping, they enjoyed dining at KFC and YKKO, our popular local noodle food chain, both integral to our F&B offerings. At KFC, many shareholders praised the freshness and flavour of the fried chicken.
Continuing the day’s agenda, shareholders visited the Yoma Central project site and explored the Yoma Central private residences showroom. Spanning over 2 million square feet, Yoma Central is a mixed-use development set to feature residential, office, retail, and hotel spaces upon completion, significantly enhancing our rental offerings. Shareholders gained insights into the project’s scale through detailed explanations from the project and sales teams.
In the evening, shareholders gathered for a delightful dinner at the Governor’s Residence, which offered another opportunity for discussions, clarifications, and meaningful conversations with our management team.
Day 3: StarCity Transformation and Leadership Engagement
The concluding day of our tour began with a visit to StarCity, one of our key real estate developments that has undergone significant transformation over the past four years. The completion of over 1,000 homes has led to a surge in the resident population from less than 3,000 to over 7,000. Shareholders who were revisiting StarCity noted the substantial changes, witnessing showflats they had seen earlier now transformed into completed homes. The evolution of StarCity stands as an immense source of pride for our Group. Chairman Mr. Serge Pun warmly welcomed shareholders at the sales gallery, sharing his vision for StarCity. During the visit, we explored various housing projects and amenities, including CityLoft, Star Villas, City Villas, and Galaxy Towers.
Lunch was served at YKKO, providing a hearty meal to energise us for the remainder of the tour. We proceeded to the StarCity Sport Club (SCSC), one of Yangon’s leading international-standard indoor and outdoor sports complexes.
The visit to StarCity concluded with an hour-long Q&A session with Mr. Serge Pun, Mr. Melvyn Pun, and Mr. JR Ching, offering shareholders a direct platform to engage with the leadership team.
