Placemaking is the story between people and land. Low Tuck Chuan rejuvenated Taman Merdeka Kluang, organized the Kluang Festival, carried out the Roaming Malay Tapir Project, and transformed the Grisek community, turning the small village into a place where villagers are proud of. He opined that groundwork - living with the residents and listening to villagers' needs - is important. Tuck Chuan's duty is to gather everyone to join the community, with the hope that everyone would contribute their expertise and time, in order to make the community a better place. Only stories with warmth and significance are worthwhile to be propagated and passed on. 刘德全，拥有留台电影系的敏锐，先在教育、媒体、橡胶领域打滚，后于 2013年大选迁居居銮。自喻散播社区营造种子的传教士的他，认为地方创生不仅吸引经济与专业人士入镇，还需懂得蹲点，与当地居民同调生活。先后在居銮依斯迈街办“走，回老街过中秋”、承办居銮节，还改造玉射社区，把荒废之地变成乡民自豪之处，后续涟漪不断。如今推广 43 只手作马来貘阅读计划，让其腹部藏有的1200本书籍充实偏乡心灵，吹起阅读与回馈的风气，让教育与社区的营造继续深耕。
Low Tuck Chuan, with his keenness nurtured from Taiwanese film school, he first ventured into the fields of education, media and natural rubber, and later moved to Kluang during 2013 general election. He proclaimed himself as the missionary who sow the seeds of community development, also opines that placemaking will attract economic investment and professionals to the town, but it’s also crucial to understand how to live and stay in tune with the local residents. He has been the organizer of the event named “Let’s go, back to the old street to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival” which took place in Jalan Ismail, Kluang. He has undertaken to organize the Kluang Festival too. Besides that, he transformed the Grisek community from an abandoned territory to a place where the villagers are proud of. As for now, he is promoting 43 hand-made Malay Tapir figures reading project, with 1200 books hidden in the belly of tapir figures, with the aim to enrich the minds of the remote villages, creating the atmosphere of reading and dedication, and continue to deepen the education and community development.
