Ambank Group Chairman Tan Sri Azman Hashim personally funded the RM25mil

The design concept was inspired by the principles of Feng Shui philosophy which aims
to establish a link with the local traditions while projecting the future, with the use of
the latest technologies. Feng Shui literally means "Wind and Water", in honour of the
two elements that shape the Earth and determine the healthy characters of a place
