Selayang ratepayers who settle bills early will receive free rubbish bins
RATEPAYERS in Selayang who paid up their 2025 assessment tax in full have been presented with mobile rubbish bins.
Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) handed over the bins, referred to as MGB, to eligible ratepayers during a ceremony at its headquarters in Bandar Baru Selayang, Selangor.
'MPS provided a free 80-litre MGB each to eligible taxpayers as an encouragement and in appreciation of their commitment to the council's development,' said MPS Corporate Department in a media statement.
'This initiative follows the implementation of the assessment tax rate review for 2025, which was approved by the state government last year and came into effect this year,' it added.
MPS president Shahman Jalaludin said the provision of mobile rubbish bins was not only a token of appreciation, but to also instil good hygiene practices.
'The culture of maintaining cleanliness starts at home, and with this facility we can further strengthen the role of the community in creating a clean, healthy and sustainable environment,' he said in his speech.
Fifty MGBs were presented at the ceremony.
A total of 4,524 units will be distributed to eligible ratepayers in stages until May 31.
The deadline for assessment tax payment was Feb 28 for the first half of the year and Aug 31 for the second half.

PETALING JAYA: MGB Bhd, under LBS Bina Group Bhd, has successfully completed its topping out for Idaman Sari, one of its six Rumah Idaman MBI projects under the same initiative. This milestone follows the recent successful handover of keys for Idaman Melur, which was held on July 3. Strategically located in Puchong, Idaman Sari comprises 513 residential units spread across 2.45ha of land, and is developed to support a sustainable and comfortable lifestyle for urban families.

Prices for each unit of Rumah Idaman start from RM 250,000 onwards. Idaman Sari will be the fourth Rumah Idaman to complete its topping out after Idaman BSP, Idaman Melur as well as Idaman Cahaya 1 and 2 projects respectively. It is another step forward for MGB in supporting the Selangor state government's effort under the Rumah Idaman initiative to deliver up to 30,000 high-quality, affordable housing units across Selangor for its residents. To date, the success and progress of MGB delivering on its Rumah Idaman projects remains steady, starting with the handover of keys for Idaman BSP in August 2024 and the recent successful handover of keys for Idaman Melur, which was held last month. In line with MGB's mission to push boundaries and surpass expectation through quality, reliability and innovation, Idaman Sari is built using MGB's Industrialised Building System (IBS) precast technology, a construction method that uses precast concrete panels manufactured under strict quality control and consistency that has been proven to positively impact project timelines by reducing construction time by up to 33%. MGB Bhd group executive chairman Tan Sri Ir. Dr. Lim Hock San said, 'The topping out of Idaman Sari is MGB's statement on the progress we have made in providing well-built, affordable homes to Malaysians, especially those residing in Selangor. 'MGB continues to play a role in addressing housing affordability by delivering fully equipped, thoughtfully located homes to first-time homeowners on time and with quality that endures.'

MGB's latest job win on track to achieve firm's FY25 order book target
PETALING JAYA: MGB Bhd 's latest contract win ensures earnings visibility and lifts its outstanding order book to RM1.2bil. This represents a healthy 2.1-times cover of Mercury Research's financial year 2025 (FY25) construction sector revenue forecast. Mercury Research maintains its FY25-FY26 earnings forecasts and RM700mil order-book replenishment target, as the latest contract win is within its expectations. Mercury expects MGB to remain on track to achieve its FY25 order-book replenishment target. This is supported by the upcoming LBS Bina Group Bhd 's planned RM2.6bil gross development value worth of property launches in the second half of FY25 and potential contributions from its own pocket land developments in Puchong and Cameron Highlands. Besides, MGB's first deal with Creed Group could pave the way for future wins from CI Medini's multi-phase Iskandar Puteri projects, diversifying its client base and strengthening revenue resilience. MGB has secured a RM186mil construction job from CI Medini Sdn Bhd to develop a two-phased serviced apartment in Iskandar Puteri, Johor. As the win is within Mercury's orderbook assumption, it has maintained its valuations. It reiterates its 'buy' call with an unchanged sum-of-parts-derived target price of RM1.09 a share. This values the construction division at 11 times the FY25 earnings per share and the property segment at a 40% discount to revalued net asset value. The research house continues to like MGB for its focus on affordable housing and healthy construction order book, complemented by its expertise in IBS solutions. The contract was secured from an external client rather than parent company LBS Bina Bhd.
