This year, our Choral Speaking competition had over 1,200 students from 44 schools competing across six districts where Hektar operates neighbourhood malls. The top six schools competed in the finals in Classic Hotel, Muar. It was fun and empowering to see the students performing so well.” 

In the 2019 competition, Hektar organised Choral speaking in six of its malls with schools competing in the six districts of Subang Jaya, Melaka, Muar, Sungai Petani, Kulim and Segamat. 

The Piala Hektar competition is an original Hektar initiative designed to empower student educational efforts across the communities of Hektar malls. The initial competition features Choral Speaking, which is designed to uplift the standard of spoken English in Malaysian schools.

The finals were held in Muar, the historical Royal town in northern Johor, bordering Melaka. Muar is known as the “furniture capital of Malaysia” and tourists visit the area for its local cuisine, its famed coffee and historical pre-war buildings.

Hektar REIT’s Classic Hotel was a key sponsor, hosting the Choral Speaking Finals. Within walking distance of downtown’s major attractions, Classic Hotel features 156 rooms and Muar’s largest ballroom with a seating capacity of 800. Overlooking the scenic Muar river, Classic Hotel is the premier business-class hotel located in the heart of Muar town.

As part of Hektar’s Corporate Social Responsibility efforts, a donation of RM2,000 was made to Kiwanis Malaysia.

“Hektar is proud to sponsor and pursue initiatives to benefit the mall communities in which they serve,” concluded Rahman.
