BANGKOK, THAILAND, Dec 20, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – On 7 December 2023, PropertyGuru Group (NYSE: PGRU), successfully hosted its annual PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit (ARES) followed by the ARES VIP Cocktail Party in Bangkok, Thailand, presenting the ARES Power Women for a second year.
The invitation-only party, which was sponsored by PropertyGuru For Business, was a highlight of the PropertyGuru Week and celebrated the outstanding achievements of six exceptional women leaders in the real estate sector, acknowledging their significant contributions and influence as leaders in the industry.
Hari V. Krishnan, CEO and Managing Director of PropertyGuru Group, opened the evening with a special message reflecting on the journey of PropertyGuru since its inception in 2007, emphasising the company’s commitment to gender diversity and equality.
This commitment was further highlighted in the establishment of the ARES Power Women initiative in 2022, designed to spotlight the vital contributions of women in the Asian real estate landscape.
A symbolic gesture of solidarity and support
After Hari’s message, the evening’s highlight occurred during an unscripted yet powerful moment when ARES presenter, Tina Ryan, embraced comfort over convention by removing her high heels on stage. The next speaker, Shyn Yee Ho, Managing Director for Data and Software Solutions at PropertyGuru Group, also joined in on the fun by taking off her heels as she delivered her message to recognise the women who raise the roof.
Shyn continued Hari’s message, further elaborating on the motivations behind establishing the ARES Power Women honours, sharing her personal experiences in male-dominated industries and highlighted the need for more diverse representation and inclusive decision-making in real estate. The goal of the ARES Power Women list is not just to recognise the achievements of women leaders, but also to inspire future generations and promote a fairer and more equitable future.
In a remarkable display of solidarity, all the women on stage removed their heels as each honouree was announced one by one, ascending the stage barefoot to accept the honour. This impromptu gesture became a strong declaration of mutual support among these influential women, resonating deeply with the audience.
The ARES Power Women 2023
This year’s honourees, hailing from Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia and the UK, were announced by Shyn together with Disha Goenka, PropertyGuru’s Chief Marketing Officer, with each woman receiving a token from PropertyGuru For Business.

PUCHONG, SELANGOR MALAYSIA, Nov 29, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) –Masteron, celebrated for its rich heritage since 1981 and renowned for projects like Verando Residence @ PJ South Sentral and the ‘Koi’ series in Puchong, proudly unveils its latest innovative venture — Astra @ Aurora Residence, Puchong. This groundbreaking project, tailored for today’s discerning first-time homebuyers, inaugurates a new chapter in sustainable, strategic lakeside living. Located in a mature suburban neighbourhood, Astra @ Aurora Residence skilfully combines the tranquillity of lakeside serenity with urban convenience, offering spacious, high-specification homes that elevate the concept of affordable luxury.
Mr. Choy Kin Mann, Director of Masteron
As a 155-acre integrated township and one of the final master developments in Puchong, Astra @ Aurora Residence emphasises a distinctive lakeside living experience. Its strategic location near Puchong Prima LRT guarantees outstanding connectivity to key city locations. Incorporating the S.P.A.C.E concept — Sustainability, Park, Attraction, Commercial, and Education — the development transcends traditional living, offering a lifestyle rich in wellness and environmental harmony. In partnership with Federal International Holdings Berhad, this project melds luxury with functionality, showcasing nature-inspired design elements and first-class amenities. Masteron’s signature in crafting transformative living experiences is evident throughout Astra @ Aurora Residence, manifesting in both its meticulous design and comprehensive amenities, all attuned to the aspirations of contemporary families and individuals.
The initial half of 2023 presented a mixed landscape of challenges and opportunities, reflective of the marketplace’s inherent cyclical nature, which Masteron navigates with its forward-thinking philosophy. Despite initial buyer hesitations amidst rising prices and a subdued economic climate, the latter part of the year and the prospect for 2024 are showing encouraging signs of recovery. This positive shift is significantly supported by Bank Negara Malaysia’s decision to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3%, a strategic move aligned with current inflation and growth prospects. This stability is advantageous news for homebuyers, signifying an optimal time for real estate investments, particularly in projects like Astra @ Aurora Residence. It marks a promising environment for property acquisition into 2024, harmonising with Masteron’s mission of creating liveable and sustainable futures.
Mr. Choy Kin Mann, Director of Masteron, offers his perspective: “As we embark on this journey with Astra @ Aurora Residence, we’re not merely offering homes; we’re inviting you to be a part of a living, breathing community. A community that stands as a beacon of sustainable, thoughtful development, a community that promises not just connectivity and balance, but a thriving, spirited way of life. Astra @ Aurora Residence breaks new ground, providing expansive, well-appointed homes at accessible prices. Set in the tranquil Lakeside City, a well-established suburban neighbourhood, our project offers a blend of community spirit and natural beauty, standing out from the typical industrial-area developments. This strategic location choice, combined with our dedication to quality living, underscores Masteron’s commitment to enhancing lives and fostering sustainable communities.”
More than just a serviced apartment, Astra @ Aurora Residence is a carefully planned community within the expansive 155-acre Lake Side City. Upon completion, it is set to accommodate around 6,000 households, or approximately 20,000 residents. As an innovative and insightful community builder, Masteron ensures the development’s prime location near Puchong Prima LRT offers unmatched connectivity to major LRT and BRT lines. This approach to development not only enhances the residents’ quality of life but also offers easy access to highways, shopping centres, top-tier educational institutions, medical facilities, and essential government services.
At the core of Astra @ Aurora Residence is Masteron’s unwavering dedication to first-time homebuyers. Infused with the S.P.A.C.E concept, the development is a testament to Masteron’s brand pillars of providing a future-focused and health-centric living environment. It is not just a response to the current market demand for affordable, quality housing but a redefinition of it, offering a holistic living experience that caters to the evolving needs and desires of modern families and individuals.
