Yu said MPA had so far recognised 256 outstanding projects from across Malaysia since its inception in 1992.
“MPA is more than an award. It is a benchmark of excellence,
“It showcases projects that embody innovation, sustainability and community needs, while setting the stage for international recognition through the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards.”
He said this year marked a pivotal milestone for MPA with the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Sarawak Housing and Real Estate Developers’ Association, allowing association members to compete in the national MPA arena.
Trinity Group Sdn Bhd founder and managing director Datuk Neoh Soo Keat said its award (Housing Residential High Rise Category) was great recognition for the company which had been in the industry for two decades.
“This has been our hard work for 20 years and it is all attributed to teamwork.
“We are into building excellence and legacy through our developments,” Neoh said.
