 YTL's Muse Hotel, a Big Hit in St. Tropez!
rhoyba@ytlcommunity.com - 16 July 2010 3:54:50 AM
The Muse is the toast of St. Tropez, offering luxury as St. Tropez has never seen before. 250 of the world’s most glamorous people attended the opening, dressed chic in the best of French Riviera fashion.
Old friends of the owner, Francis Yeoh, the managing director of YTL, including Michelle Yeoh and Jean Todt came to celebrate, as well as musical stars Russell Watson and the legendary George Benson. Russell Watson gave an enchanting impromptu performance, serenading the audience with his hits ‘Caruso’ and ‘Volare’. George Benson then took stage for a gig that drove the crowd wild. Yeoh quipped that “God had gifted the French with the very best in luxury and lifestyle: the best wines such as Petrus and Mouton Rothschild; excellent food through chefs like Alain Ducasse and Paul Bocuse, fashion from Louis Vuitton to Yves Saint Laurent; and the finest jewellery from Cartier and Boucheron. Why for God’s glory does this not extend to hotels?” With this in mind, Yeoh created the Muse Hotel de Luxe, along with French partners Adrian Jossa and another, who shared similar dreams. The Muse is dedicated exclusively to true lovers of luxury, comfort, sophistication, quality in the very essence of French glamour and elegance. [more...] |

 Green: Eco on their mind
rhoyba@ytlcommunity.com - 8 July 2010 12:17:33 AM
CAN townies develop a green lifestyle, despite being surrounded by concrete almost everywhere? For YTL Corp, it’s a big, resounding “Yes”!
To prove it, the company recently turned the main concourse of its Lot 10 shopping centre into an Eco Haven bazaar of sustainable ideas for its fourth Climate Change Week.
YTL director of investments Ruth Yeoh, who launched the event, sees Eco Haven as a window to new and practical ideas, setting an example for sustainable living in the city.
“It’s a nod to our pragmatic forefathers who understood the true value of everyday things, where worn clothes were turned into quilts and rainy days provided water to clean their cars.
“Through the various activities that we have put together for the week, we want to show Malaysians that it’s easy to go green.”
Since YTL started Climate Change Week in 2007, what has been most fulfilling for Yeoh is seeing the much improved environmental consciousness in locals.
“Climate change today has become a mainstream concern of the country. But we’re still at the stage which scientists have termed ‘ecological overshoot’ — using and wasting more resources than our planet can sustain or produce,” she says.

The lush Singapore Botanic Gardens proved the perfect al fresco venue for YTL's recent Concert of Celebration 2010, an evening of spectacular music under the stars with acclaimed Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli at the main attraction. In honour of YTL Concert of Celebration at the Botanic Gardens, Vanda YTL and Vanda Andrea Bocelli became the latest additions to a splendid showcase of VIP orchids, which are traditionally named after distinguished statesmen, dignitaries and celebrities. This is in celebration of YTL's flourishing friendship with Singapore and Bocelli being one of the most exciting voices in contemporary opera.
Bocelli was clearly pleased to have lead the concert saying: "I love my friend (Tan Sri) Francis Yeoh very much and so I'm doing this for him. I can feel the love of Francis for me, and the love of the people of Singapore, and it was a pleasure to sing for them... Francis is a genius!"
