Take for example the Eco Meadows gated and guarded mixed development project in Simpang Ampat on the Penang mainland.
“Each housing unit comes with intercom system and alarm system to provide enhanced safety for our customers.
“In cases of emergency, homeowners can contact our well-trained security guards for assistance,” he said at the fair yesterday.
Hunza Properties (Penang) Sdn Bhd head of sales and marketing Karen Thein said the company’s Alila2 project in Tanjung Bungah comes with a top-notch security system to ensure the safety and security of its homebuyers.
“We have layers of security from the guardhouse, to the car park, lobby area and to the home unit.
“The project is equipped with security tags, access card control system and CCTVs,” she added.
She said Alila2 was also equipped with smart home panel that allows owners to view their visitors who are at the lobby.
“Owners can open the door to the lifts at the lobby from their home after confirming the identity of the visitors through the smart panel.
“Aside from that, each unit is equipped with a panic button for owners to alert the security guards during emergencies,” she said.
BDB Land Sdn Bhd sales executive Mohd Zaidi Md Jasmin said potential clients who came to their booths were also concerned about security.
“Security is one of the important factors we stressed in our Darulaman Perdana township in Sungai Petani.
“The project is a guarded community, crafted to meet the needs of those who seek comfort and safety in their homes.
“We have our security guards patrolling our project to ensure safety at all times.
“Besides safety, we are also into building a healthy and environmental-friendly community,” he said.

FOREIGNERS were among the early birds who visited the StarProperty.my Fair 2017 in Penang on its first day, looking for properties to invest in.
Couple Wallace Ng and Minnie Yip, both 50, from Hong Kong, said they were looking for a property with sea view and good facilities to invest in.
“Good location will be an added value to the property,” Ng said while checking the City Residence project in Tanjung Tokong by Ivory Properties Group Bhd at the fair yesterday.
Another couple from Shanghai, Liu Jun and Hua Wen Xin, both 49, were checking out Ewein Zenith’s City Of Dreams project in Gurney Drive.
“We are interested in having a property at a bay on Penang island. It would be a good investment for us. Location plays an important role,” Liu said.
New Zealander Brad Harman, 31, echoed similar sentiments, saying suitable location would be his first preference while looking for property in Penang.
“I understand that investing in the property market in Penang is profitable as it’s growing rapidly. This may be a good time to look for one but it will be a better choice when it has a good location too,” he said.
Henry Teoh, 29, and his girlfriend Jesslyn Tan, 24, both insurance agents from Penang who are searching for a second property in the state, said they were looking for a landed home since their first property is a high-rise.
“We prefer to have the house on the island as we think that the land value on the island is higher and it will be a good investment too,” Teoh said while checking the properties offered by IJM Land Bhd.
Sales and marketing executive Marie Kam, 37, who was eyeing Sentral Suites by Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) in Kuala Lumpur Sentral, said the development attracted her due to its location.
“KL Sentral is a prime location in Kuala Lumpur,” she said.
At The Star’s booth in Gurney Plaza, retiree Ho Kam Hoong signed up for a one-year standalone ePaper subscription for RM180.
“I prefer The Star ePaper since it is more convenient as I can surf the news from anywhere.
“I like the lifestyle, social event and sports sections,” said Ho who received a complimentary RM20 Starbucks card, three free spins in the fair’s Spin & Win Contest and two additional months of free ePaper for signing up for the package.
More than RM50,000 worth of prizes are up for grabs in the Spin & Win Contest during the four day fair which is being held at Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon Mall.
The fair also offers visitors the opportunity to win a one-bedroom serviced suite worth over RM550,000 at PJ Midtown in Section 13 of Petaling Jaya, Selangor, under the Win A Home (WAH) campaign.

The public could also sign up for the Penang Starwalk 2017 on Sept 10 and Fit For Life Fun Run on Nov 19 during the fair at The Star booth in Gurney Paragon.
The fair, organised by the Star Media Group, is open daily from 10am to 10pm until Sunday. Admission is free.
PROPERTIES are a hedge against inflation as their value increases with time, said full-time property investor Kaygarn Tan.
Citing a single-storey house in Island Glades in Penang as example, he said the price doubled from RM78,000 in 1977 to RM158,000 in 1988.
“In 2015, it was priced at RM900,000,” Tan said in his talk titled ‘Creating Wealth Through Property Investment’.
He described the current property market as soft where purchasers hold much of the power in negotiations.
“This sentiment is shared by many business analysts and experts. It is now the buyer’s market.
“The people should grab the opportunity as sellers will be more flexible in their pricing,” he added.
Lawyer Khaw Veon Szu, in his talk titled ‘A Landmine-free Roadmap to Property Ownership/Investment’, said buying a property was arguably the biggest investment for ordinary people.
He advised buyers to equip themselves with basic knowledge of property purchasing and trust nobody.
“They should exercise due diligence, especially on the background of lawyers or real estate consultants before they engage their services,” he said.
In another talk, feng shui master Stephen Chin provided feng shui tips on selecting the right home.
The property education talks were brought to the fair by BDB Land.
