Serene’s Signature of Lakefront Living
From its 15-acre rehabilitated lake, to the dedicated jogging path winding through lush greenery, elements of Sunway Serene’s Signature of Lakefront Living magnetically draws photographers to immortalise its features.
Sunway Property had invested RM 10 million into rehabilitating the lake and park as part of its urban renewal project. Before the rehabilitation works, the site was a garbage-logged retention pond and a rundown carpark for a neighbouring industrial complex.
To make the lake habitable once again for aquatic life, the developer conducted water improvement works and installed bandalong litter traps to capture pollutants in the lake. The Master Community Developer had also undertaken extensive works, including diverting the monsoon drain, constructing the culvert, clearing, desludging, and landscaping works, including planting 900 trees.
One of the winners, Mohd Samsi, said that he spent an entire day in the development’s lush natural surroundings to take his perfect shot.
“For me, my mission was to find the beauty of the biodiversity that Sunway Property had so carefully brought back to the area to communicate the importance of spending time in nature. I spent a whole day in the beautiful natural surroundings and I had the opportunity to take a picture of a stork hunting for fish in the 15-acre lake rich with aquatic life which I captured with my 500 mm lens. I am pleased that the judges selected my photo as one of the winning entries,” he says.
