TROPICANA MAGAZINE

RABBIT

Those 'harmed by the Grand Duke' this year may encounter challenges like betrayal,

disrupted collaborations, health issues, emotional instability, and financial losses. Caution

is necessary due to the absence of auspicious stars, particularly for managers. Financial

prudence is recommended, avoiding investments. Male Rabbits should be cautious of

illnesses, and excessive movement may lead to transportation issues.

RABBIT DZI COMBO RECOMMENDATIONS:

HEAVEN & EARTH DZI boosts interpersonal relationships and career advancement

through enhanced opportunities, recognising the right timing, and fostering positive

relations and diplomacy.

TAI YAN DZI supports career endeavours, attracts support from influential individuals,

and shields from malevolent influences and hazards.

DRAGON

Challenges may include potential financial losses and conflicts. Caution is advised against

troublemakers, and marital relationships may need increased communication to ease tensions.

Confidence in current work is recommended despite potential setbacks. Stubbornness may impact

client relationships. The proverb 'wife respects husband' suggests possible involvement in luxury or

religious activities.

DRAGON DZI COMBO RECOMMENDATIONS:

emotional challenges for those spending time indoors.

HORSE DZI COMBO RECOMMENDATIONS:

AUSPICIOUS RUYI DZI attracts luck, wards off evil, enhances focus, promotes wisdom and

fosters harmonious relationships.

TREASURE VASE DZI dispels illnesses, imparts blessings of fortune and longevity, and

relations for interpersonal and career growth.

S HOOK DZI attracts primary and secondary income sources, improving financial

energy fields.

MONKEY

The ‘Three Platforms Star’ indicates progress and a ‘Level Up’ in status and work. Caution

is urged due to the adverse effects of the 'White Tiger Star,' signifying potential harm,

accidents, and misfortunes. ‘The Five Ghosts’ presence warns of antagonistic individuals,

urging government employees to exercise caution, and business owners may face delays in

may have weaker fortunes, especially in romantic relationships, and married

individuals are advised against romantic entanglements.

ROOSTER DZI COMBO RECOMMENDATIONS:

FOUR EYED DZI dispels calamities, enhances wisdom and direction, boosts career

advancement, and attracts opportunities.

SIX EYED DZI attracts income, facilitates promotions, and resolves career obstacles.

16

DOG

Clashing with 'Tai Sui' leads to conflicts and setbacks. Avoid changing jobs or investments

FENG SHUI-FRIENDLY Fish

To amplify feng shui energies, here's a guide on

selecting the ideal fish

46

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

When considering the finest feng shui fish, the Goldfish stands out as

the most cost-effective, commonly chosen, and uncomplicated option.

It's often recommended for aquariums due to its symbolism of beauty

and harmony.

47

The Guppy fish, is also highly favoured for feng shui reasons as it

brings a sense of joy to any living space with its wide range of colours,

including shades of red, blue, grey, and more.

Furthermore, their easy upkeep makes them a hassle-free choice.

Maintaining their well-being is as simple as regularly cleaning a

freshwater tank and providing a diverse range of plants and substrates.

Then there is the Flowerhorn fish, which is celebrated for its striking

beauty and the belief that it brings great luck and love to its owner. Often

chosen to foster a joyful home environment and the well-being of all

family members, it's a species that exudes positivity.


48

Koi fish attracts positive energy and good luck

Another excellent choice is the Black Moor Goldfish, regarded

as one of the most favourable feng shui fish for your aquarium.

It's believed to dispel potential negative influences in your

home, replacing them with positive energy.

One of the top choices in feng shui fish is the Arowana,

often referred to as the Dragon Fish. This majestic species

symbolises wealth, power, health, and happiness in feng shui

practice. However, due to its endangered status, owning and

caring for an Arowana can be quite costly.

Also thought to usher in positive vibes and good luck is the

Koi. Keeping Koi fish in your home or garden pond is believed

to attract positive energy and good luck. Their graceful

and peaceful presence is considered to foster a calm and

harmonious ambiance.

Koi fish also embodies qualities of determination, prosperity,

and success in feng shui. This species signifies the desire for

both personal and career development.

Additionally, Koi fish come in various vibrant colours,

with each hue holding significance for different aspects

of life. For instance, the red Koi is a symbol of love and

relationships, while the gold Koi represents affluence and

abundance.

The unbroken spirit of superstar Selena Gomez

I kept it all together enough to

where I would never let you down,

but I kept it too much together to

where I let myself down

63

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2024 TRAILBLAZER

64

Selena Marie Gomez, born on July 22, 1992, in Grand Prairie,

Texas, to Ricardo Joel Gomez and former stage actress Mandy

Teefey, carries a namesake tribute to the late Tejano singer

Selena Quintanilla.

Born into financial struggles, Selena's mother, who was only

16 at the time, did her best to provide despite the challenges.

The family's hardships resulted in times when they had to

scrounge for coins just to buy gas and walk to the nearby

store with a dollar budget for dinner.

Reflecting on her past, she acknowledges her mother's

strength, stating, "She gave up everything for me, had three

jobs, supported me, sacrificed her life for me." Despite the

setbacks, Selena found solace in her close relationship with her

grandparents, who played a significant role in her upbringing,

nurturing her until she achieved success in show business.

The multifaceted artist, known for her roles as a singer,

songwriter, actress, businesswoman, and producer, has

amassed a remarkable collection of accolades. Among her

achievements are an American Music Award, a Billboard

Music Award, two MTV Video Music Awards, and breaking

16 Guinness World Records. Furthermore, she has garnered

nominations for two Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe

Award, and four Emmy Awards. Recognised as one of the

most influential figures on social media, Selena holds the

distinction of being the most-followed woman on Instagram,

boasting 429 million followers, and is among the topfollowed

individuals on Twitter. Her impact extends beyond

entertainment, as evidenced by her inclusion in the Time 100

list in 2020 and being honoured as Billboard's Woman of the

Year in 2017.

In philanthropy, Selena actively collaborates with diverse

charitable organisations, dedicating her efforts to promoting

awareness on issues such as mental health, gender equality,

racial equality, and LGBT rights. Serving as a UNICEF

ambassador since 2009, she held the distinction of being the

youngest for many years. Demonstrating a deep commitment

to mental health advocacy, she also established the nonprofit

Rare Impact Fund, aiming to raise USD100 (RM467)

million over the next decade to bolster initiatives focused on

mental health awareness.

Selena faced health challenges when diagnosed with lupus

between 2012 and early 2014. In September 2017, she shared

on Instagram that she had undergone a kidney transplant

due to the condition, with her friend, actress Francia Raisa as

the donor. Complications arose during the surgery, requiring

emergency intervention to construct a new artery using a

vein from her leg.

The artist has been candid about her battles with anxiety and

depression, seeking therapy in her early twenties and undergoing

treatment. Reaching 100 million Instagram followers triggered a

moment of distress, leading to intermittent breaks from social

media, influenced by negative comments. Selena disclosed her

bipolar disorder diagnosis in April 2020.

In October 2022, she had to cancel an appearance on The

Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon after testing positive for

Covid-19. Additionally, in November 2022, she shared that

she experienced an episode of psychosis in 2018.

Despite her exceptional beauty, talent, and intelligence,

Selena has faced challenges in the realm of love. In 2008,

she dated singer Nick Jonas, featuring in the music video for

his band's song ‘Burnin' Up’. From December 2010 to March

2018, Selena experienced an on-again, off-again relationship

with Canadian singer Justin Bieber. In 2015, a brief romance

with Russian-German DJ Zedd followed the recording of

their collaborative song ‘I Want You to Know’. However, the

relationship concluded later that year. In January 2017, Selena

entered a relationship with Canadian singer-songwriter the

Weeknd, leading to a temporary cohabitation in September

before parting ways a month later.

Amidst her triumphs and trials, Selena's fanbase remains deeply

devoted. Admirers often express that she has been a guiding

force, imparting lessons on embracing one's beauty, cultivating

self-love, and extending respect and assistance to others.

Her influence emphasises the strength found in uplifting

others rather than tearing them down. Selena encourages the

idea that each individual is perfect just as they are and should

not conform for anyone. Above all, she imparts the wisdom

that embracing one's uniqueness is the key to discovering

true beauty.

The Pull Factors of Gohtong Jaya

Gohtong Jaya is the gateway to the summit by cable car via

Awana Skyway. Around the area, several tourist attractions

lie in the immediate surroundings including Happy Bee Farm,

Strawberry Farm, Genting Premium Outlets (“GPO”), Chin Swee

Temple and Gohtong Memorial Park.

The 10-year Genting Integrated Tourism Plan (“GITP”), enacted

in 2013 was aimed to revitalise and transform Genting Highlands

into a world-class tourism destination. One of the transformation

plans is to shift the population and amenities from peak to

midhill by creating more offerings such as recreation (Awana

Golf & Country Resort), retail & shopping (Genting Premium

Outlets), and transportation hub (bus and cable car terminals).

With many developments mushrooming around the Gohtong

Jaya area, the market is becoming very exciting and secondary

transactions are slowly gaining momentum with more

new projects coming on stream. The high-rise residential

developments are catching up with Kuala Lumpur’s prices as

well. On the commercial front, Gohtong Jaya also recorded the

highest rental rates.

For those who wish to be close to nature without venturing too

far from the bright lights of the city, Tropicana WindCity is your

next holiday destination offering a cool climate and breath-taking

scenery. To explore the natural wonders of Tropicana WindCity,

Feng Shui

AT HOME

Feng shui aims to attract positive energy for luck,

wealth, health, and harmonious relationships

Brighten up your entrance

Your house’s entryway symbolises the way energy flows into your home

and life. Your front door acts as the “mouth of `qi’ (energy)”, making it a

crucial focal point for creating positive feng shui. Begin by decluttering

and clearing any obstructions that often accumulate at the entrance,

ensuring it remains relatively uncluttered while not necessarily empty.

Keep windows clean

Maintain positive feng shui in your home by keeping your windows clean.

Clear, sparkling windows allow abundant sunlight to enter, naturally

invigorating your space and showcasing its colours and features.

Embrace more light to create a more expansive, vibrant, and energetic

atmosphere

73

Plants bring vitality

In feng shui, plants symbolise life energy, acting as a direct link to nature

that injects vibrancy into your living space. Think of green plants as a

revitalising elixir for your home, infusing it with freshness and vitality.

Green, thriving plants are a fundamental element of feng shui in your

living environment.

Add a water feature

In feng shui philosophy, water is both a tangible symbol of wealth and

a representation of abundance. To invite positive energy and prosperity

into your life, a widely endorsed practice is to strategically position an

aquarium or a soothing fountain in the vicinity of your home’s entrance or

just outside the main doorway.

Fix damaged items

Feng shui generally recommends either repairing broken items or, if

they cannot be repaired, discarding them. Broken items symbolise

suffering and attract problems. Address any household issues, such

as leaks, promptly, as water can carry away positive energy. It’s also

recommended to keep the toilet seat down and the door closed for

good feng shui.

• To promote positive feng shui

in your bedroom, position

nightstands on both sides of

the bed.

• It's not recommended to have

mirrors facing the bed in feng

shui, as it can deplete your “qi”

during sleep.

• Avoid aligning the stove and

refrigerator with the main door

to prevent potential wealth

loss or outside interference.

• To maintain good feng

shui, it’s best to prevent the

bathroom door from aligning

with your bed, as it can affect

your health.

• Place a mirror in the dining

room to reflect the dining

table, symbolically doubling

the amount of food and

enhancing abundance.

• If your main door faces your

neighbour’s door, place two

snake plants with pointed

leaves to counter clashing

energies, deflecting negativity.

Manu Ram ‘wanted to do something exceptional’

as he felt really trapped, worthless and wanted to

make a difference

76

Manu at A'Famosa, triumphant

after conquering the journey

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

Manu Ram gained attention for embarking

on a journey by foot from his residence

in Damansara Utama to the A’Famosa

fortress in Melaka. Commencing his walk on

November 2, 2023 at 6.37am, he reached

his destination on November 9, 2023 at

8.44am, spending a total of 170 hours and

seven minutes covering the 159km distance.

Following the challenging trek, the

question arises: What are his sentiments

after accomplishing the arduous journey?

wish to achieve is a balanced and

satisfactory approach.”

He chose to walk to A’Famosa because

of his love for history and the fact that he

had never been there before.

Manu bought essential items like an

umbrella, raincoat, and power bank for the

journey, storing them in his laptop bag,

along with extra clothes, a first aid kit, and

snacks from his sister-in-law.

From left: When he couldn't find a hotel, he

ended up sleeping at bus stops; A picturesque

scene captured by Manu during his journey

“Completing this journey deepened my

confidence. Outwardly, I embrace flair,

akin to an actor on stage, valuing life as a

performance. Yet, privately, I am quiet and

introspective, finding fascination in the

smallest of things.”

The 26-year-old took on the challenge to

break free from mediocrity, regardless of

success or failure. “The decision, born from a

spontaneous ‘shower’ idea, left no room for

alternatives; it was the only path I considered.”

While life has returned to its routine,

Manu has come to appreciate the value in

the mundane. “It's perfectly acceptable

to establish a routine that aligns with

your preferences and not adhere strictly

to it. Allowing yourself some flexibility

while maintaining the objectives you

In the initial four hours, his sports shoes

suffered a setback as he reached Old Klang

Road. “While crossing a pedestrian bridge,

my right foot snagged on a step, causing

the entire flap of my shoe to tear open. I

made a pitstop at a nearby Decathlon store

to purchase a new pair of shoes.”

During his journey, when he couldn't find a

hotel, he ended up sleeping at bus stops.

“One particularly frightening moment

was navigating the road to Seremban

from Mantin in complete darkness during

an ungodly hour. The old road, bordered

by jungle on both sides, instilled fear due

to the limited visibility, worsened by an

unreliable phone signal. However, amid

the anxiety, a positive note emerged as the

night sky unfolded with remarkable clarity.

Witnessing the entire constellation of Orion

became an unforgettable

experience for me.”

A key takeaway from

the journey, he notes, is

realising that something

concludes only when

you choose to end it, be

it a specific task or any

endeavour.

“When you commit to

something, it only comes

to an end when you choose

to stop. For example, if you

decide to make exercise a

routine and suddenly feel

like quitting, the key is to

push yourself, to at least try. Don't give

up. Even if your performance is subpar,

pushing yourself beyond your limits is

where most of the growth happens,” he

explains.

In the final eight hours, fatigue prevented

him from straightening his right leg.

“Despite several offers of a lift from kind

individuals, I insisted on completing the

journey on my own; that was the essence

of the challenge. The moment I arrived at

A’Famosa, the first thing I did was sit down

and revel in the sense of accomplishment.”

Having lost 2kg, Manu plans another

challenge in February or March, aiming to

surpass his previous limits. Undecided on

the destination, he contemplates walking

to Penang or Singapore, recognising the

importance of physical training.

Manu, whose journey thread on X went

from 2.1 million to 2.5 million views

(at press time), works freelance and is

currently in a job transition.

“I’ve applied to 200-300 positions,

received several offers, and am now

exploring roles that align with my talents.

Currently working on a mythological

fiction series of novels, I excel in public

speaking and pay meticulous attention to

detail. However, I prioritise roles aligned

with my values and am taking time to

assess job offers.”

Wellness

WARRIOR

Dr KS Beh’s vision: a healthy future for Vita Life Sciences

78

The Country Head at Vita Life Sciences (Malaysia

and Singapore) Ltd., a leading Australian-owned

healthcare company, Dr KS Beh is a seasoned

professional with over 15 years of experience in

the health and wellness industry.

In her position, she plays a key role in overseeing

critical aspects of the company's operations in the

Southeast Asia region. This includes responsibilities

such as formulating business and sales strategy, as

well as driving big data and information technology

development for the Group.

Under her adept leadership, the entities within

Beh’s portfolio have demonstrated exceptional

performance, significantly contributing to the

overall revenue of the Group. Her strategic

approach and management skills, based on

key principles, are instrumental in achieving

remarkable results for the company.

Talent development is a cornerstone of her

approach. “Within the organisation, I focus on

nurturing potential leaders through mentoring

and providing training,” she explains.

Adaptability is another crucial aspect. She

encourages her team to embrace change and

stay ahead of the industry curve by generating

new ideas and actively participating in product

development initiatives.

A goal-oriented mindset is integral to her

leadership style. “I emphasise the importance

of setting clear goals and defining strategies to

achieve them. Moreover, I empower my team to

collaboratively work towards these goals and

ensure that achievements are duly rewarded.”

In the past five years, Beh significantly boosted

the business with double-digit turnover growth

each year, thanks to effective strategies and

initiatives.

These include marketing strategies aimed at

maximising outreach, encompassing a diverse

range of channels such as Above The Line

(ATL) platforms like radio, billboards, and print.

Additionally, she has successfully navigated the

ever-evolving digital landscape by leveraging

social media, including emerging platforms

such as TikTok, XHS, and Lemon8.

Furthermore, on-ground activities strategically

conducted in stores, concourse areas, and

corporate settings have played a significant role

in expanding the company's market presence

and ensuring sustained financial success.

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

79


Another factor contributing to the success is the emphasis on

product innovation. This involves consistently leading market

trends and being at the forefront of introducing novel products,

such as Turmeric in 2015.

Beh also spearheaded CHARGE-UP, the first mental wellness

series in the country, addressing rising concerns about mental

health with innovative solutions launched in 2021. This series

focuses on nurturing mental resilience, cognitive function, sleep

quality, stress relief, and more.

She firmly believes that supplements are for everyone, not just

the elderly or those with health issues.

Her mission: revolutionise supplement intake into an enjoyable

experience, transforming the brand’s identity with an

unwavering commitment to health and positivity.

“We favour a sustainable approach, advocating for selling

products based on customers’ health needs identified through

free health tests actively conducted. This customer-centric

strategy aims for long-term relationships rather than short-term

gains.”

Counterfeiting, especially rampant in e-commerce, poses a

significant challenge. To combat this, stringent quality control

measures are implemented, and consumers are educated on

making genuine choices. Additionally, hologram scanning is

encouraged to verify product authenticity.

Economic challenges and fluctuating raw material prices

present further obstacles. “The response involves diversifying

the product portfolio to encompass a range of price points and

cater to diverse consumer segments, ensuring resilience in the

face of economic uncertainties.”

This is achieved through creative formatting and packaging,

aiming to bring an element of fun to the process of

incorporating supplements into one's daily routine.

Establishing strategic partnerships and alliances is a key

approach to tap into new customer bases, Beh notes. This

involves collaborations with co-branding partners, participation

in corporate events, and securing positions as the official

nutrition partner for sports associations.

Similar to any professional, she faces challenges in the business

landscape. Competitive market dynamics pose a hurdle, with

rivals resorting to deep discounts and generous freebies.

Despite a busy schedule, Beh prioritises education, earning a

Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) with a specialisation

in marketing. She also completed the Harvard School Online

Certificate Program in Global Business.

Beh envisions the future trajectory of Vita Life Sciences'

presence in Malaysia and Singapore, along with upcoming plans.

These include chatbot customer service, a money-back

guarantee for trust, global expansion, using TikTok Live

for younger audiences, especially in Malay markets, and

introducing sports products tailored for athletes and active

individuals.

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

Beyond business strategies, VitaHealth, a Vita Life Sciences subsidiary,

embraces the motto “Healthy Life, Happy Vibes”, striving to positively

impact communities. It partners with NGOs and fundraises for those

facing challenges. Approaching its 77th anniversary this year, the

company intensifies its commitment to CSR, channelling resources to

uplift communities and foster a healthier, happier world.

Beh advocates for the promotion of both physical and mental

wellness. She notes that true health extends beyond the absence of

diseases and encompasses overall well-being.

“Achieving a fulfilling life involves being physically active and

emotionally happy, acknowledging the interconnected nature of

physical and mental aspects in the pursuit of optimal health.”

The dedication to promoting wellness has had a positive impact on

employee engagement, retention, and overall productivity.

“Initiatives supporting this commitment include offering

complimentary access to gym facilities to encourage physical activity,

organising a Sports day to foster teamwork, implementing a silent

hour every Monday to allow employees uninterrupted focus on their

work and enhance productivity, and providing insurance and health

cards to alleviate financial stress associated with healthcare costs.”

The company promotes work-life balance and mental health support

for its employees through various initiatives, such as flexible working

hours, work-from-home options, birthday time-off, and the availability

of a quiet room.

CROSS-BORDER

LEADERSHIP

Beh’s effective prioritisation and

management of responsibilities

spanning Malaysia and Singapore play

a pivotal role in her accomplishments.

Strategic alignment: By aligning

the objectives of both entities, Beh

facilitates resource-sharing while

tailoring approaches to accommodate

each location's distinct market

conditions.

Empowerment: Beh empowers local

teams to take ownership, emphasising

clear objectives and granting authority

for decision-making within their areas

of expertise to drive results.

Clear communication: Regular online

and in-person meetings are integral

to maintaining team alignment with

organisational goals, fostering idea

exchange, and ensuring a seamless flow

of communication.

Personally, Beh prioritises physical activity by frequently visiting the

gym, underscoring the paramount importance of health in her life.

She also incorporates VitaHealth’s Turmercare into her routine – a

combination of 500mg Curcumin C3 Complex with turmeric powder

and BioPerine, tailored to enhance overall bodily health. Additionally,

she relies on CHARGE-UP ASHWAGANDHA PLUS, a supplement

containing ashwagandha extract and saffron extract, traditionally

known for addressing stress and sleep difficulties.

tranquil environment create a sanctuary of relaxation and homeliness.

The east in

Chinese floral prints merge with Western materials for a unique,

sophisticated aesthetic in Shanghai Tang’s latest collection

Shanghai Tang's newest women's line serves as

a vibrant homage to the captivating artistry of

Yang Liping's 'Moonlight Dance' performance in

the enchanting landscape of Lijiang, China. This

collection skillfully encapsulates the effervescent

and fluid movements that define the performance,

translating them into a series of dynamic and

elegant fashion pieces that embody the grace,

spirit, and cultural richness of this renowned dance.

The collection combines Chinese hand drawn

floral prints and Western fabrication, revealing a

distinctive aesthetic with a sophisticated quality.

In both contemporary and traditional Chinese art,

dance has been portrayed in paintings, calligraphy,

music and poetry for centuries. The freedom of

dance is the heart of the collection, and through

traditional dyeing techniques, expert craftsmen

have created floral prints in moonlight yellow

and midnight blue on mulberry silk, resulting in

beautifully free flowing ensembles.

The men's collection continues to honour Shanghai

Tang's rich brand legacy, which reflects the

evolution of contemporary Chinese fashion. It

remains rooted in the brand's timeless narrative of

iconic Chinese silhouettes while infusing elements

of novelty and whimsy into traditional sartorial

expressions.

Equally fascinating is the 'Reunion' range. This

particular collection thoughtfully weaves a central

motif, encapsulating the spirit of togetherness and

the shared moments of delight, ensuring that each

design reflects the intricate tapestry of love and

unity that defines these cherished family reunions.

Known for its intricate embroidery, Shanghai

Tang reimagines this craftsmanship in relaxed,

comfortable styles that exude elegance.

Noteworthy among the collection's standout

pieces is a double-stitched Mandarin collar

wool jacket with frog buttons, artfully crafted to

resemble denim and infuse a Western flair into the

traditional garment.

The infusion of Western aesthetics becomes even

more evident where a graceful marriage of styles

emerges, uniting the timeless Mandarin collar and

distinctive architectural sleeves in a captivating

dance of cultural threads and sartorial mastery.

Spectre redefines the Rolls-Royce experience, marking a

groundbreaking shift as the world's first ultra-luxury electric

super coupé, paving the way for the brand's electrifying

future. Essentially, it's a Rolls-Royce at its core, prioritising

luxury, space, comfort, performance, and ride quality without

any compromises, even enhancing these aspects through its

advanced architecture and engineering

A generously proportioned, visually striking two-door

fastback, Spectre is the spiritual successor to the fabled

Phantom Coupé. Its intimate interior provides a perfect

canvas for Bespoke personalisation, complemented by a

unique illuminated fascia and the first Starlight Doors ever

specified in a production Rolls-Royce.

While each Spectre client is unique, they typically share a deep

admiration for exquisite materials, masterful craftsmanship,

and a distinct preference for clean, minimalist design that

shuns extravagance and excess.

Often younger, self-made and self-confident people, many

Spectre clients embrace contemporary ideas that centre

on sustainability, authenticity, conscientiousness and longlasting

quality.

As one of the most coveted luxury items globally, Spectre

is a personalised expression of its patrons, mirroring their

distinct personalities and principles, while also symbolising

their accomplishments.

With Spectre, Rolls-Royce committed to an uncompromised

electric future by specifying an all-electric drivetrain rather

than a hybrid solution. It is fitted with two Separately

Excited Synchronous Motors (SSMs). The front electric motor

produces 190kW / 365 Nm, with the rear motor delivering

360kW / 710 Nm. In performance terms, this equates to an

internal combustion engine of 430kW (584 hp) with 900Nm

of torque. In terms of acceleration, Spectre achieves 0-60mph

in 4.4 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds).

In establishing an appropriate range for Spectre, the marque

first engaged with clients, to understand their requirements. The

confirmed range of 530km (329 miles) WLTP goes beyond these

requirements, confirming that Spectre fits perfectly into the lifestyle

of Rolls-Royce clients, who have an average of more than seven cars

in their garage to choose from for any occasion, and who drive an

average of 5,100km in their current Rolls-Royce per year.

Charge time from 10-80% is 34 minutes using a 195 kW (DC)

fast charger: this will also produce sufficient charge for 100km

in around nine minutes. Spectre is equipped with Active Lane

Centring and Adaptive Cruise Control simultaneously.

Spectre has a 102kWh lithium-ion battery, made using cobalt

and lithium from strictly controlled sources in Australia, Morocco

Water-wise

LIVING

Harnessing rain for a greener tomorrow

110

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

Rainwater harvesting is a globally popular sustainable

practice in buildings, addressing water scarcity and

promoting environmental conservation by collecting and

storing rainwater for later use. This innovative approach

aids water conservation, lessens reliance on traditional

sources, and mitigates stormwater runoff impacts.

One of the key components of rainwater harvesting

in buildings is the installation of a collection system.

Typically, this system includes gutters, downspouts, and

pipes that direct rainwater from the roof to a storage tank.

The tank, above or below ground, varies in capacity based

on building size and local rainfall patterns. To ensure

usability for activities like irrigation or flushing toilets, the

system includes filters to remove debris. While groundlevel

collection is possible, it is less common.

Rainwater harvesting in buildings offers multifaceted

benefits. It reduces demand on traditional water supplies,

alleviates pressure on stormwater drainage systems, and

provides a naturally soft alternative for domestic use,

reducing dependence on treated municipal water.

From an environmental standpoint, rainwater harvesting

promotes sustainability by conserving water resources

and reducing the energy required for water treatment

and distribution. It also encourages a more decentralised

approach to water management, empowering individual

buildings and communities to play a role in securing their

water supply.

111

Needless to say, rainwater harvesting in buildings

aligns with sustainable living, showcasing a proactive

step towards water conservation and environmental

responsibility.

At Tropicana Gardens, located within the prime neighbourhood

of Tropicana Indah, rainwater harvesting is employed for its

beneficial purposes.

During the construction phase, stormwater management

measures were implemented in accordance with the Department

of Irrigation & Drainage MSMA (Urban Storm Water Management)

requirements. As an integral component of the development

plan, a rainwater harvesting tank is incorporated, intended for

utilisation in landscape irrigation purposes.

Additionally, the recycling of fire system test water contributes

to sustainability efforts, specifically for the sprinkler and wet

riser systems, fostering a more resilient and eco-conscious built

environment.

The integration of rainwater collection and recycling is a

fundamental aspect of the water articulation system. Gathered

from the roof, the harvested rainwater serves primarily for

irrigation and cleaning applications.

The abundant landscaping relies predominantly on the

rainwater for irrigation, leading to a notable reduction of at

least 50 percent in potable water usage in communal spaces.

This practice not only minimises stormwater runoff during intense

rainfall, preventing strain on the current drainage infrastructure

but also introduces an environmentally friendly solution.

supports environmental conservation; Rainwater harvesting

empowers communities to locally manage water, fostering

responsibility and self-sufficiency
