Vlog 49 : Why Penang Durians Taste Better ? Here Are Some Facts. Background In Sungai Rusa 5.2 Acres Durian Farm

Penang is one of the earliest places in Malaysia where durians were systematically planted — dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many trees here are over 80 years old, still fruiting with rich, complex flavors you can’t find elsewhere.

Why Old Penang Durian Trees Are Special

1) Deep heritage – Many were seed-grown (not grafted), giving unique flavors and strong genetics.
2) Rich soil & rain – Western Penang’s lateritic soil and rainfall form perfect durian-growing conditions.
3) Selective farming – Only the best trees were preserved, inspiring varieties like Ang Bak, D11, and Hor Lor.
4) Balik Pulau brand – Now a name that represents authentic, premium Malaysian durians.

Why Old Trees Taste Better

A) Deep roots absorb more minerals for stronger aroma.
B) Mature trees focus energy on fruit, giving creamier texture.
C) Stable genetics produce naturally rich taste.
D) Balanced soil ecosystem enhances flavor consistency over decades.

Vlog 47 : Permatang Pasir Balik Pulau 33,099sf Agricultural Flat Land For Retirement home 019-410 7321

This is a 0.76-acre or 33099sf freehold parcel of land situated in Permatang Pasir, Balik Pulau. The lot is rectangular in shape and set within a traditional kampung environment, offering a serene and peaceful setting. It carries a mukim geran title with freehold tenure, and the title does not specify any particular category of land use. Based on the Penang Structure Plan 2030, the property falls within the agricultural zone.

The location is convenient, with Botanica CT just about 1.5km away. A kampung road cuts across the land, though no road reservation is reflected on the title. Some have asked whether a portion of the land must be surrendered for road access if a house is built. Road surrender is only required when applying to convert the land for development, which is not permitted here due to its agricultural zoning.

Nevertheless, under Section 115 of the National Land Code, there is an implied condition allowing the proprietor to build a dwelling house for personal use. The permissible house size can be up to one-fifth of the total land area—equivalent to roughly 6,500 square feet in this case.

Finally, while the title itself shows no formal road reservation, it is advisable to maintain practical access for neighbours, as you too rely on their paths. You may even explore rerouting the internal access for better efficiency in land use.

This is a rare opportunity to secure three adjoining freehold lots with a total land area of 1.72 acres in the peaceful setting of Balik Pulau. The land is flat and located just along Jalan Baru, only about two kilometers from Botanica CT in Bandar Baru Air Putih. Despite being close to town conveniences, the property retains the calm atmosphere of the countryside, making it an attractive choice for buyers who value both accessibility and serenity.

The titles are issued under Geran Mukim with no specific land use category, and under the Penang Structure Plan 2030 the lots are designated within the agricultural zone. Although rezoning can be applied for, feedback from the land office suggests that the chance of immediate approval is currently low, positioning this property more as a long-term investment or for agricultural and private use.

Access to the estate is convenient via a public access road with a 5-ton capacity, leading directly into the land. The entrance is 26 feet wide and forms part of one of the lots, opening into a larger rectangular plot with a 102-foot frontage that provides a practical layout for future planning.

With its freehold tenure, strategic location, and excellent accessibility, this property offers genuine potential for investors or individuals seeking a private estate in one of Penang’s most promising growth areas.

Vlog 45 : Gurun agricultural land suitable for solar farm for auction.

-336 acres freehold international lot
-About 4~5km from main road.
-Reserved price
-Nearest PMU 5km away
-Flat land with some hill peaks at 80M to 130M

This agricultural estate in Kuala Muda Daerah, Mukim Gurun, Kedah, presents an exciting opportunity for both renewable energy and resource-based development. Spanning over 336 acres, the property is a freehold international lot with an express condition for rubber estate use, yet it offers clear potential for a solar farm as well as red earth excavation.

Accessibility to the estate is provided by two separate routes. The first is a fully tarred road that includes a bridge crossing, although the exact loading capacity of the bridge remains to be confirmed. The second road transitions into an off-road path midway, offering an alternative access point to the site. Within the estate, the terrain is diverse, combining expansive flat land with several hills, the peaks of which rise between 80 and 130 meters in height. This topography provides both development potential and scenic variety.

One special condition attached to the land title requires the surrender of approximately 10 acres for local dwelling purposes. Apart from this, the estate also benefits from a man-made pond, which secures an uninterrupted water supply — a useful feature for both agricultural and solar farm operations. The land will be sold via auction on an as-is, where-is basis, providing an opportunity for investors to unlock its hidden potential.

From an infrastructure perspective, the estate is strategically located near energy facilities. The nearest PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit) station is situated about five kilometers away, while two additional PMU stations can be found within a ten-kilometer radius. This proximity to power infrastructure enhances the estate’s attractiveness for solar farm development.

For interested parties, insider details and further information are available upon request, and direct contact can be made via the number provided in the video.
