The abundance of cafés and eateries takes care of that. Even window shopping becomes an effortless way to unwind, provided the mall is nearby enough to be worth the trip.

That's exactly what Platinum Premium Suites, a standout project by the award-winning developer HCK Capital, has to offer.

The upcoming mall, set within the vibrant Empire City development, promises to be a major lifestyle destination and landmark, enhancing the area's visibility and economic activity.

Known as one of the world's top ten largest malls, 1 Utama spans over 5.5 million square feet with more than 750 outlets.

The mall's newest wing, 1 Utama E, offers even more attractions—including Malaysia's largest in-mall performing arts venue PJPAC, Korean-themed retail precinct District K, al fresco dining at Estreet, and exciting sports attractions like FlowRider and Windlab.
Add to that an ever-evolving mix of global fashion, food, and nightlife—and residents will be spoiled for choice.

S. Korea's dried seaweed has gone global, now, it's going green
One of the Oceans and Fisheries Ministry's key initiatives is the creation of underwater ecosystems densely populated with seaweed species. — The Korea Herald SEOUL: Among South Korea's ocean bounty, one standout is seaweed, most iconically in its dried form, known in Korean as gim. While many Koreans now take quiet pride in seeing this humble staple elevated to a global delicacy, only a handful have considered its promise beyond the plate. Seaweed, after all, is giving back to the very waters that once gave it life – as a source of climate solutions now taking root in South Korea. According to the World Bank's 2023 Global Seaweed Markets Report, seaweed is a powerful climate ally – a form of 'blue carbon' in ocean and coastal ecosystems capable of sinking carbon and supporting biodiversity. The report highlights 10 emerging markets, such as bioplastics, animal feed and nutraceuticals, that are projected to grow by US$11.8bil by 2030. Most farmed seaweed is still used for food or aquaculture, with 98% of global supply produced by a few Asian countries, South Korea among them. As the world's third-largest producer of seaweed and the top exporter of gim, South Korea is turning its attention toward the algae's environmental promise. One of the Oceans and Fisheries Ministry's key initiatives is the creation of underwater ecosystems densely populated with seaweed species, known as 'sea forests'. According to the Korea Fisheries Resources Agency, over 347 square kilometres of these sea forests have been created since 2009, now absorbing around 117,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. The ministry has set targets to increase South Korea's blue carbon absorption to 1.07 million tonnes by 2030 and 1.36 million tonnes by 2050. 'Sea forests, once valued mainly as sources of food and shelter for marine life, are now being recognised for their strong carbon absorption capacity,' a ministry official said. 'We are working to secure international blue carbon certification to acknowledge their role in climate mitigation.' Seaweed already meets five of the six core criteria for international recognition, with the final step, formal inclusion in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) greenhouse gas inventory guidelines, currently under review. The IPCC currently recognises mangroves, salt marshes and seagrasses as official blue carbon ecosystems. The country is further institutionalising its ambitions, with the National Marine Biodiversity Institute of Korea set to build its own blue carbon research centre by 2028. Elsewhere, Wando-gun in South Jeolla Province – South Korea's largest seaweed-producing region – has become a focal point in global blue carbon discussions. In November last year, the local government visited the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) in the United States to hold working-level discussions on advancing seaweed's blue carbon certification. In 2021, Nasa highlighted Wando by releasing satellite images and praising the region's sustainable farming practices as ideal for seaweed-based carbon mitigation. 'I asked Nasa to help highlight the role of Wando's seaweed farms so that seaweed can be officially certified as blue carbon,' said county mayor Shin Woo-chul after the visit, adding that the US agency expressed support for the initiative. The local government is also collaborating with the US Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy on a joint South Korea-US project, running through 2029, to develop offshore seaweed farming systems for large-scale biomass production and blue carbon advancement. — The Korea Herald/ANN

More jobless college grads than middle school grads in South Korea for the first time
FILE PHOTO: A Korean barbecue restaurant located in Majang Meat Market in Seoul, South Korea, July 11, 2025. labour productivity in domestic services, including IT and retail, was just 39.7 per cent of the manufacturing sector in 2024. - Reuters SEOUL: More South Koreans with college degrees are now out of the workforce than those who only finished middle school. It is the first time this has happened, and it reveals a growing fault line in the country's labour market. New data released by Statistics Korea on July 22 showed that 3.048 million people aged 15 and older with a four-year university degree or higher are not working and not looking for work. That number now slightly surpasses the 3.03 million among those whose education stopped at middle school. Just 10 years ago, the gap between these groups was more than one million in the opposite direction. The shift reflects a wider imbalance. South Korea has one of the world's highest university enrolment rates, but the job market has not kept up. Many recent graduates are preparing for examinations, stuck waiting for job openings, or have left the labour market entirely. They are statistically classified as 'non-economically active', meaning they are not employed or actively seeking a job. Behind the numbers is a tight hiring environment. According to a 2025 survey by the Korea Enterprises Federation, only 60.8 per cent of large companies said they planned to hire new staff this year. That is the lowest share since 2022. College-educated job seekers tend to target high-value sectors like tech or finance. But growth in these areas has slowed. That slowdown is forcing many graduates into limbo, especially as entry-level positions shrink. South Korea's services industry offers little relief. A July report from the Bank of Korea (BOK) found that labour productivity in domestic services, including IT and retail, was just 39.7 per cent of the manufacturing sector in 2024. That ratio has barely moved in 20 years. Compared with other countries, the gap is just as wide. According to the BOK report, South Korea's services sector productivity measured only 51.1 when indexed against the United States at 100. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development average was 59.9. Germany reached 59.2, while Japan stood at 56. - The Korea Herald/ANN
