Mahajaya Community Stories: A Place to Build a Business, A Place to Call Home – Aldon Lee and the Pasaraya CS Story in BDP
What makes someone invest in the same township twice – first as a business owner, then as a homeowner? For Aldon Lee, the answer lies in a community he has known for years. Today, as the Business Development Manager of Pasaraya CS and a proud Mahajaya homeowner, his story reflects the confidence that many businesses and families continue to place in Bandar Damai Perdana.
1 July 2026 – Kuala Lumpur: For Aldon Lee, Bandar Damai Perdana (BDP) is more than just a place to run a business. It is where he grew up, where he has built lasting relationships with the community, and where he chose to purchase his first Mahajaya home.
His journey is one that naturally came full circle. After opening Pasaraya CS in BDP, he later decided to make the township his home as well, giving him a unique perspective as both a business owner and a resident.
Growing with the Community
Pasaraya CS has been serving neighbourhoods for more than 20 years, growing from a minimarket into a trusted supermarket chain with several outlets across the Klang Valley.
When the opportunity arose to open an outlet in BDP around three years ago, the decision came naturally.
“I grew up around this area, so we’re very familiar with the community here,” Aldon Lee shared.
The spacious commercial building also offered the flexibility his team was looking for. Beyond operating a supermarket, the space has evolved into a lively destination with a Chinese food court and a badminton centre, creating a place where families can shop, enjoy a meal and spend quality time together.
“The idea was to create synergy. People come here not only to shop, but also to eat, exercise and spend time with their family and friends.”
Serving What Matters Most
Running a neighbourhood supermarket means understanding what local families value every day.
For Pasaraya CS, that means providing quality fresh produce, including vegetables, fruits, seafood and poultry, while keeping prices affordable for middle-income households.
“We always make sure our prices remain reasonable without compromising on quality.”
Equally important is creating a pleasant shopping experience. From maintaining a clean environment to ensuring fresh products are readily available, every effort is made to make customers feel comfortable whenever they visit.
Over the years, Aldon Lee has also seen BDP continue to mature. The arrival of more established brands and increasing weekend crowds are encouraging signs that the township continues to attract both residents and businesses.
“You can really see the township continuing to grow.”
Choosing to Call Bandar Damai Perdana Home
For many entrepreneurs, business and personal life are often kept separate. For Aldon Lee, however, choosing to live in BDP simply made sense.
After establishing Pasaraya CS here, he purchased his first Mahajaya home in BDP, allowing him to stay close to both his workplace and the community he serves.
Living within the township means enjoying the convenience of nearby schools, restaurants, retail outlets and everyday amenities, while reducing travel time and allowing more opportunities to spend time with family.
As both a resident and business owner, he has experienced first-hand how the township has grown into a well-established neighbourhood over the years.
Growing Responsibly
Beyond serving the community, Pasaraya CS is also taking steps towards a more sustainable future. As part of its ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and reduce its environmental footprint, its BDP outlet has recently installed solar panels to support its day-to-day operations.
For Aldon Lee, investing in renewable energy is part of running a responsible business while contributing to a greener future for the community.
“As businesses grow, we also have a responsibility to look at how we can operate more sustainably. Installing solar panels is one of the initiatives we’re proud to undertake.”
While the investment was significant, it reflects Pasaraya CS’s long-term commitment to balancing business growth with environmental responsibility, an approach that aligns with Mahajaya’s vision of building sustainable communities for future generations.
Growing Responsibly
Having invested both personally and professionally in BDP, Aldon Lee believes continued development will benefit everyone in the community.
He welcomes future residential and commercial developments that bring new opportunities and strengthen the township’s appeal, while hoping to see further improvements in infrastructure and accessibility to better support residents, businesses and visitors.
“The township is still growing, and that’s important because it benefits everyone – residents, businesses and the whole community.”
When asked to describe BDP in just a few words, his answer was simple:
“Lively. Mature. Convenient.”
Those three words perhaps best capture what makes BDP special. It is a township where businesses can grow with confidence, families can enjoy everyday conveniences, and communities continue to thrive together.
For Mahajaya, stories like Aldon Lee’s are a reflection of what township building is truly about. Beyond developing quality homes and commercial spaces, it is about creating communities where people choose not only to invest, but also to build their lives, grow their businesses and call home for years to come.
