⚽ JOM SEPAK #5: Building Communities Beyond Buildings
Connecting Property, People & Places
Strong communities aren't built by buildings alone. They're built by the people who bring them to life.
Presented by 3RD SPACE™, the fifth edition of Triterra's JOM SEPAK brought together leaders from the built environment, healthcare, and real estate to explore how purpose, trust, and innovation shape thriving communities.
Moderated by Christopher Lim, CEO of Triterra, the halftime panel featured Sr Ahmad Farrin Mokhtar, Chief Executive Officer of CIDB Malaysia, Leo Selvaraj, Head of Marketing & Communications at Siemens Healthineers, and Alvin Ong, Managing Director of EdgeProp Malaysia.
Although each panellist came from a different industry, they shared a common belief. Buildings may create spaces, but it is people, trust, and meaningful human connections that transform those spaces into communities.
From Sr Ahmad Farrin Mokhtar's reminder that development should always serve the rakyat and be grounded in trust, to Leo Selvaraj's perspective that healthcare innovation must improve lives without losing the human touch, and Alvin Ong's reflection that communities are built through people rather than amenities alone, the discussion reinforced that lasting impact begins with purpose.
Looking ahead, the panel also explored the rise of AI and digital transformation. While technology will continue to reshape industries, the panellists agreed that our ability to listen, connect, and bring people together will always remain irreplaceable.
