“Five years ago, there was nothing here, they had to take a helicopter to come and look at the land, and today, because of this catalyst project, Batu Kawan will transform into a vibrant township,” he said in his opening speech at the grand opening of the store. Other than the Batu Kawan Stadium, Chow said there were two housing phases here but previously, the area did not see much development.
“PDC is now negotiating with two proposed specialist hospitals in Batu Kawan so we may see two hospitals here if the negotiations were successful,” he said.
