The New York Times - The 31 Places to Go in 2010
The New York Times, 3 February 2010
New York Times recommends YTL's Starhill Gallery in Kuala Lumpur as one of the 31 places to go in 2010. Jetsetters in the region are heading these days to Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital that’s quietly evolved into one of the area’s coolest and friendliest cities. Not only are K.L.-ites diehard foodies, fiercely proud of a robust street food scene that straddles Chinese, Indian and Malay flavors but they’re also shopaholics, spending weekends trawling boutiques for the latest looks emerging from the sophisticated local fashion scene. A designer to look out for is Khoon Hooi, known for streamlined yet feminine dresses in muted tones, sold at his flagship store in the ritzy Starhill Gallery.
Start the clock now
New Straits Times, 29 January 2010
With Starhill Gallery’s watch showcase this year, Tan Sri Francis Yeoh looks at environmental issues. The chronograph is spinning, the numbers are worrisome and the time is now, he tells RACHAEL PHILIP. This year, with the theme “Time for the Environment”, the managing director of YTL Corp Bhd has forged a seamless link between two of his passions — he’s ardent about watches, he’s worried about the environment. Now that the exhibition is over, Yeoh and his five children will keep the family tradition of heading to the mountains in Davos for skiing and some quiet time together, Bible sharing. “It’s therapeutic to look at the mountains. You see the glory of God before you and you feel humbled. Snow is the most beautiful thing. It captures the awesomeness of His glory.” It is in this mountain retreat that Yeoh witnessed the glaciers receding and feel it’s worrisome. “We used to have good snow in October but now we only go in December. I dread to think what we are leaving behind for our children.” THE next time you look at your watch, Tan Sri Francis Yeoh hopes it tells you more than just the time. It should spur you to think about the environment and how fast we’re losing the battle.
