Triterra marks 10 years in KL with sold-out music showcase at The MET Corporate Towers, Mont’Kiara

PETALING JAYA (April 27): When the lights dimmed at The MET Corporate Towers in KL Metropolis last Friday evening, what followed was not a board meeting or a product launch — it was a full house of guests transported back to the golden sounds of the 1980s and 1990s, with Malaysian vocal powerhouses Ning Baizura, Elvira Arul and Yazmin Aziz taking the stage in succession.

The inaugural Rentak Music Celebration, held on April 24, was Triterra Sdn Bhd's way of marking a decade in Kuala Lumpur. 

For the developer behind The MET Corporate Towers, the sold-out evening was as much a statement of intent as it was a celebration — and it drew a minister with a reform agenda of her own.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh, who officiated the event, used the occasion to speak candidly about her ambitions for Kuala Lumpur and the narrow window she has to realise them. 

"The theme 'Rentak' is about moving together as one," she said. 

"For me, it means not just the government acting alone, but working with the private sector and moving in tandem with the people — because there is no point implementing policies that the public does not want."

Among the reforms already under way, Yeoh said City Hall is reviewing its standard operating procedures to remove grey areas that have historically enabled the use of runners and driven up the cost of doing business, while also cutting waiting times and digitalising services. 

Most recently, the government announced an approximately 60% reduction in deposits required to bring concerts and cultural shows to Kuala Lumpur — a direct bid to enliven the city's cultural calendar. 

Rentak itself, she noted, was precisely the kind of event the city needs more of.

Yeoh said she wants Kuala Lumpur to be the first place Malaysians think of when they talk about the country's states, and that her team is working on reforms weekly while maintaining continuous engagement with the business community. "That engagement is very important," she said. 

"I hope that in the coming months some results will be visible and that people will appreciate the reforms being carried out and continue to support them."

She also paid a personal tribute to Triterra joint chairman Datuk Seri Michael Yam, recalling that 23 years ago — when the Solaris development was being built — she was a young lawyer handling sale and purchase agreements and could never have imagined that she would one day attend such an event in 2026 as Federal Territories Minister. 

Yam's journey, Yeoh said, was an example worth celebrating. "Many corporate figures have the resources to migrate and pursue opportunities elsewhere. He has chosen to keep investing in young people and to remain present," she said.

Yeoh noted that it is always good for a member of Parliament to have developers who build and stay, rather than leaving after completing projects. 

"Those who remain share the realities on the ground — traffic congestion, the day-to-day problems — and continue investing to improve things," she said, before congratulating Triterra on its 10th anniversary and wishing the audience an enjoyable evening.

Triterra CEO Christopher Lim said the event was a reflection of what the development stands for. 

"Music has always had a unique ability to bring people together, regardless of age or background, and what we witnessed at Rentak was exactly that — a shared experience filled with joy, nostalgia, and connection. 

“We are incredibly encouraged by the overwhelming response and strong turnout for our inaugural showcase, in line with Triterra's 10-year anniversary," he added.

The evening opened with a surprise appearance by Donne Ray Radford, a former lead singer and tenor of American band The Platters, before the three vocalists delivered sets featuring iconic hits including Waterfalls, Lady Marmalade, Saving All My Love for You and Un-Break My Heart. 

Comedian and emcee Douglas Lim kept the atmosphere light between performances, threading together moments of humour and nostalgia throughout the night. 

Tickets were priced at RM250 per person, inclusive of a buffet dinner at the Malaysiana Food Garden on Level 9 of the building.

The choice of venue was equally deliberate. The MET Corporate Towers is the first Grade A stratified corporate office towers in Mont’Kiara. Its lifestyle and event component — branded The 3RD Space — accounts for 20% of the building's overall space and is specifically designed to activate the development beyond office hours. 

The event venue itself was sponsored by Colony Coworking & Event Space, a tenant at The MET, underlining how the building's community of occupants is being drawn into Triterra's broader placemaking strategy.
