Of green CSR and RYTHM


Protection and care about the environment is inherent in Quest International Ltd's (QI) corporate social responsibility (CSR).

QI practices and promotes vegetarianism, and vegetarian meals are served at all its corporate events and functions, while its wellness spas use purely natural ingredients and treatments.

"Its our board decision to embark on going green and support environmental organisations around the world.
"The initiative is also central to our eco-tourism drive in Rompin, Pahang, from the design and construction of our resort using recycled and sustainable building materials to installation of energy-saving elements and systems.

"At the new operational headquarters for QI's group of companies in Malaysia at PJ8 in Petaling Jaya, which we'll be moving into next year, we won't, for instance, be using water in plastic bottles.
"And early next year, we'll be working with the authorities to plant and maintain 1,000 trees to green PJ. Also,  we're looking to adopt parks in the city," says Kuna Senathirajah, director of Wawasan QI Properties Sdn Bhd and head of QI Group's investment arm.

"Sometimes, money alone doesn't cut it. In addition to green CSR, QI stays focused as a responsible multinational through promoting education, reducing poverty and providing disaster relief via QI's CSR arm, RYTHM ( Raise Yourself To Help Mankind ) Foundation.


"For example, QI's multilevel marketing enterprise is at the core of RYTHM, training and developing peoples as our business partners and for their personal growth."

Real estate girds for growth - Quest International Ltd

Owning landbanks in India and Sri Lanka aside, Quest International Ltd's (QI) property assets nearer home look set to bloom as 2010 unfolds.

To promote eco-tourism in Malaysia, QI spent RM50 million in 2006 to take over the development of the 30 percent completed 167-acre beachfront Endau-Rompin Resort in Kuala Rompin, Pahang. It is now working on the first phase, the 200-room Prana Rompin boutique resort, with completion planned for Q3 2010.

The entire project, with a gross development value of over RM1 billion, will span seven years and include a marina, signature villas and a spa to be run by Amezcua Wellness Centre (AWC), a QI subsidiary and award winning health spa operator. Its target markets include buyers from India, Singapore and the Middle East.

"Endau Rompin has been under-marketed. We will tap on the scenic view of the Rompin river flowing from the 200 million-year-old Rompin Forest Reserve into the South China Sea," says QI's property arm Wawasan QI Properties Sdn Bhd director Kuna Senathirajah.

In Selangor, Wawasan QI Properties bought Tower C, one of the three towers at the PJ8 commercial and residential development in Petaling Jaya, for RM60 million to house all the operations of QI's companies in Malaysia.

Commencing March, the staff at its current office at the Amcorp complex in PJ will move into the new operational headquarters in stages.

Kuna says Wawasan QI Properties is also thinking of developing hotels and office buildings in Section 14 of PJ and Kelana Jaya, and high-end niche residential units in the Ampang Hilir and U Thant locales near Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

In Thailand, QI ventured into Koh Samui in 2005. It renovated a five-star 36-room resort and renamed it Prana Resorts & Spa, the world's first international hotel chain to embrace vegetarianism and home to the world-class all-vegetarian Amala Restaurant.

The resort, which also houses an AWC spa, runs on solar power, recycles greywater and donates food scraps  to local farmers for use as fertilisers. It's scheduled to be fully operational in Q4 2010.

QI also invested in a number of suites in Patong Tower Condominium at the beachside holiday haven of Patong for use by thousands of its vacation club members.

And the latest is, at the just concluded Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Port of Spain, QI Group signed a memorandum of understanding with the Tourist Development Corp of Trinidad & Tobago for the development of a hotel, tourism and waterfront project.

The Power Of Qi -by Zoe Phoon

Quest International Ltd's ( QI ) global span and core competencies give new sparks to its Malaysian business activities. 



Born during the devastating 1998 Asian financial meltdown and managed to escaped the ravages of the 2007 credit crunch and 2008 global recession, Quest International Ltd (QI) is one perfect example of how new and innovative thinking as well as a progressive attitude tempered with a strong sense of corporate social responsibility power a business venture.


Initiated by Malaysian Datuk Vijay Eswaran (entrepreneur, author, renowned speaker) with a small group of partners, QI has grown at a healthy clip into a multi-million dollar conglomerate in just under 10 years.

Although QI started out in the Philippines and now has its own headquarters at Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong and offices around the world, officials say it's still very much a Malaysian company operating from Amcorp in Petaling Jaya, Selangor since 1999.

Despite the dotcom bust in the late 1990s, QI continued to embrace e-commerce to deliver its diverse range of products and services to every corner of the globe. That enabled QI's market to flourish while it ploughed back earnings from the e-commerce and multilevel marketing enterprise to drive its other operations.

Today, the surefooted and agile multi-national's six key business lines are global retail and direct sales with five million customers; telecommunications; lifestyle and leisure including vacation club memberships, spas and wellness centres; luxury goods and collectibles including Cimier and Chairos timepieces and Bernhard H. Mayer jewelleries; training and conferences management; and property development.

"Malaysia has been very lucky. We haven't had adverse swings in the property market, real estate prices have been trending up, and the banks are positive.
"Real estate has always been a good asset class to hold as it provides stable, steady growth," says Kuna Senathirajah, director of QI's property arm Wawasan QI Properties Sdn Bhd which bought Tower C at PJ8, a commercial and residential development in Section 8 of PJ, for RM60 million or RM580psf.

To be used as operational headquarters (OHQ), QI's group of companies in Malaysia will occupy 12 of the 15 floors the building which has 1003,000sq feet nett lettable area and a double volume lobby on the ground floor.

"As a modern purpose-built office complex with many advantages over old industrial buildings, the purchase makes good business sense. PJ8 is near facilities and amenities including PJ Hilton Hotel, has ample parking space for over 800 vehicles, and direct access and prominent visibility from Federal Highway Route 2.

According to Kuna, the OHQ will house a 24-hour call centre ( to manage QI's international customer contacts), the group's international financial functions, IT division and e-commerce platform, property and investment divisions, and corporate apartments for its global staff travelling to Malaysia.
QI may also consider running food and beverage outlets to ensure PJ8 stays vibrant.

The coming years look pretty for QI and for you.



























Theres enormous potential in the country for synergistic tie-ups with QI's real estate investments, core competencies and other business activities across the world.
