KUALA LUMPUR: LBS Bina Group Berhad has unveiled "A Celebration of 100 Years @ Cameron Highlands" campaign, presenting added investment value for Centrum Iris purchasers.
Launched in conjunction with the centennial celebration of Cameron Highlands, the campaign is aimed to reward homebuyers and honor the highland's legacy, while celebrating the continued success of Centrum Iris, the latest phase of LBS's signature Cameron Centrum township.
Running from Aug 1 to Dec 31, 2025, the campaign invites eligible Centrum Iris purchasers to take part in an exciting lucky draw, offering prizes worth a total of RM100,000. Among the rewards are a 7-day holiday to the United Kingdom for two, highland staycations, electrical appliances, shopping vouchers, and other attractive goodies. A total of 35 lucky winners will be selected and announced in February 2026.
With a gross development value (GDV) of RM472 million, Centrum Iris stands as the largest mixed commercial development in Cameron Highlands. Featuring classic English architecture, modern amenities, and sustainable elements, it builds on the success of Precinct 1, which has achieved 100 per cent occupancy since 2021.
This new phase offers 705 residential and 26 commercial units.
To offer greater accessibility and a hassle-free experience for potential buyers in the Klang Valley, LBS has established a Satellite Sales Gallery in Petaling Jaya, featuring detailed scale models, layout previews, and personalised consultations with LBS sales representatives—offering a preview of what awaits at Centrum Iris in Cameron Highlands.
Notably, Centrum Iris is the first GreenRE Silver-certified project in the region, promoting eco-conscious living through features like EV charging bays, rooftop cafés, and 47 lifestyle facilities. Strategically located in Brinchang's tourism and commercial hub, it offers a high-value, well-connected highland experience.
Tan Sri Dr. Lim Hock San, group executive chairman of LBS said, "Centrum Iris is more than just a development. It is a bold statement of LBS's commitment to reimagining lifestyle destinations across Malaysia. In line with our 8 x 8 strategic vision, this satellite sales gallery brings the highlands closer to the city, bridging distance with opportunity. We aim to make homeownership easier, smarter, and more rewarding for all Malaysians, while continuing to expand our footprint in key growth corridors nationwide."
"We are proud to be part of the 100 Years of Cameron Highlands celebration. This campaign is a meaningful extension of that milestone, honoring the legacy of the highlands while rewarding our valued homebuyers."

Selangor affordable housing projects are of quality, says MB

SHAH ALAM: The quality of Selangor's affordable housing projects has improved, driven by healthy competition among developers, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. Speaking to reporters at the key handover ceremony for the Idaman Bukit Jelutong condominium today, he said that in the past, common issues included poor housing conditions, substandard walls and windows. 'But this time, the specifications are high while the price remains below the national threshold,' he said. For example, he said the Idaman homes come with wardrobes, television sets, refrigerators, air conditioning, and two parking spaces. 'I believe this is the only such high-specification affordable housing project in Malaysia,' he said. At the same time, Amirudin said Selangor's affordable housing projects will maintain the RM250,000 price cap through a scale-driven partnerships. 'We secure economies of scale through volume. Project partners are awarded several projects rather than just one to enable them to keep costs down.' With this approach, he said the developers can maintain the price point while still earning a reasonable though not high margin, and providing complete specifications. Amirudin said the construction process of Idaman Bukit Jelutong, including the Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC) and Certificate of Fitness applications, took about three years in total. 'Although construction was completed five months ahead of schedule, the certification process requires some time.' 'That is why, from the project's start in August 2022 until now, August 2025, we just begun handing over keys.' Amirudin believes the remaining units can be completed as quickly as possible. The project is part of the 200,000 affordable homes targeted by 2028 in line with the RS-1 policy of the Selangor state government. 'This initiative is progressing well. In the last term, between the state government and the private sector, 40,000 units were built, meeting our targets. Together with what we are doing now and what private companies will develop, I believe we can reach the 200,000-unit target by 2028,' he said. Next month, he added Selangor will launch another project in Sabak Bernam for Air Manis. 'Overall, we are responsible for delivering 39,733 units. With the completion of these 1,260 units, a total of 6,079 units have been finished and handed over, while 8,352 units are under construction.' Amirudin said eligibility for households earning up to RM14,500 monthly, covering the M40 and B40 groups. 'We initially set the income limit at RM10,500 before increasing it to the current RM14,500.' Furthermore, the Rumah Idaman MBI will be expanded to more districts including Gombak, Klang, Kuala Selangor, and Sabak Bernam, he said. 'The initiative, which has already been realised in Kajang, Bandar Saujana Putra, and Dengkil, is now also available in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam,' he added. Idaman Bukit Jelutong was developed by Gagasan Nadi Cergas Bhd in partnership with Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd (PNSB), which is a subsidiary of Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated. PNSB acted as the strategic partner under the Rumah Idaman initiative, while Gagasan Nadi Cergas was the main developer responsible for construction and delivery.

Second day of tax grievances: Guan Eng joins Wee in flagging refund delays

KUALA LUMPUR: The issue of delayed tax refunds was raised for the second consecutive day in Parliament, with former finance minister Lim Guan Eng highlighting refund backlogs and unreasonable Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) assessments as key concerns for taxpayers. Lim, who is the Bagan member of parliament, said taxpayers were questioning why they had not received their refunds within the stipulated 30-day period. "Some companies have even reported having to wait more than three years to get their tax refunds. What is the total amount of outstanding tax overpayments?" he asked. Lim added that taxpayers often complained of being pressured by unreasonable assessments issued by the LHDN. He also raised concerns over enforcement of transfer pricing regulations, saying unclear procedures had led to confusion, particularly over recent requirements for companies to impose interest on funds transferred to subsidiaries, which are then deemed taxable income. On Tuesday, Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong called for the LHDN to be restructured as an independent statutory body that reports to Parliament, rather than remaining under the Finance Ministry. Wee, the MP for Ayer Hitam, said LHDN must not be seen as a political tool and should not follow the dictates of the executive, regardless of who is in power. He also highlighted growing frustration among small and medium enterprises (SMEs), citing an increase in complaints over delayed tax refunds. "This creates the perception that the government is borrowing the people's money without interest," Wee said, pointing to a case where a taxpayer who applied for a RM13,000 refund was offered only RM650, with the balance to be paid over four years. Meanwhile, Lim called for the establishment of a special Taxpayer Tribunal to protect individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from alleged unfair treatment by the LHDN. There was growing complaints from taxpayers claiming they were pressured by questionable tax assessments and enforcement actions, including bank accounts being frozen without clear justification, he said. He said that while LHDN's efforts to boost government revenue were commendable, these must be balanced with fair and reasonable enforcement. "While we appreciate the board's efforts to increase national revenue, it must be balanced with fair and reasonable treatment to avoid arbitrary actions," he said when debating the 13th Malaysia Plan in the Dewan Rakyat today. "I propose the formation of a special taxpayer tribunal to protect individuals and SMEs from feeling that they are being treated unfairly, victimised, or subjected to double standards in enforcement," Lim added.
