Press conference at Tropicana Gardens Mall

30 JUNE, PETALING JAYA – In its aim to flatten the Covid-19 curve, property developer Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana”) pledged its support to Malaysia Government’s efforts to make the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (“PICK”) a success. From 1 July 2021, Tropicana Gardens Mall Convention Centre at Kota Damansara will be one of the five large vaccination centres (“PPV”) to host the Program Vaksin Selangor (“SelVax”). SelVax is a support measure to PICK and will be jointly operated by Selgate Healthcare, a subsidiary of the Selangor State Government, and ProtectHealth, a non-profit subsidiary of the Ministry of Health (“MOH”).

Dion Tan, Group Managing Director of Tropicana, and Jared Ethan Ang, Group Executive Director of Tropicana, thanked YAB Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari, Selangor Menteri Besar for his strong support and concurred that this positive synergy will re-energise the country’s wellness and economic sector.

“The Government’s focus to accelerate this National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme is very much needed in ensuring all citizens regardless of background receive their Covid-19 vaccine shots. We responded swiftly to the country’s initiative towards herd immunity, continued to showcase our support to our Country’s leaders and we are proud to be a part of SelVax.” Dion shared.

“For weeks, our team has worked tirelessly around the clock to facilitate SelVax. We have committed more than RM1 million for our utilities, operations, logistics, and manpower costs.

We have also deployed all our team members throughout Malaysia to promote this National vaccination exercise through offline and online platforms. To ensure Tropicana is a conducive and safe place to live, work and prosper, we will also extend Covid-19 vaccination across our Tropicana ecosystem. All Tropicana workforces (Tropicana HQ, Tropicana Gardens Mall, Tropicana Golf & Clubhouse, W KL Hotel, Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, and Property Management) that have not been vaccinated will be signed up for this program. With this vaccination in place, we are certain that our Tropicana community will once again be revitalised and safe for all.” Jared summarised.

SelVax is touted as the answer to returning the state to some sort of normalcy. Selgate Healthcare Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of the Selangor State Government, has been mandated to implement the SelVax as a support measure to PICK. ProtectHealth Corp Sdn Bhd, the company appointed by MOH as an implementer, said it has started training Selgate-owned clinics and panel clinics for the vaccination overall plan and process, especially those in Selangor. Through this program, Selgate will focus on critical economic sectors in Selangor, which are sectors that are allowed to operate throughout the MCO period. Currently, registration is open to all companies in Malaysia and they can register their employees through vax.selangkah.my

Tropicana Gardens Mall serves as one of the largest PPV venues for SelVax. Located in the heart of the bustling community between Kota Damansara and Tropicana Indah, plus strategically connected to the Surian MRT station, Tropicana Gardens Mall is poised to be the vaccination venue of choice, especially for the Petaling Jaya community. Spanning approximately 1 million sq ft, this largest neighbourhood mall is also home to the capacious convention centre. Measuring more than 50,000 sq ft with ample facilities to boost, the convention centre aims to serve more than 200,000 visitors a month. To ensure comfort and convenience for everyone, Tropicana Gardens Mall is equipped with wheelchair-friendly facilities for the handicapped and Senior Citizens.
