LBS Bina's unit MGB hands over completed Rumah Idaman Melur to proud owners
The ceremony was officiated by Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, marking a pivotal step in the state's mission to provide accessible and high-quality housing for its people.
Located in the Cybersouth township, Idaman Melur is a collaboration between Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd (PNSB), through its subsidiary PNSB Construction Sdn Bhd, and MGB Bhd, a leading construction and property development solutions provider under LBS Bina Group Bhd.
Spanning 4.885 hectares, the RM406 million development comprises two 23-storey residential blocks offering 1,448 semi-furnished units.
Each home, priced from RM250,000, includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a minimum built-up area of 1,000 square feet.
The units come equipped with essential furnishings and appliances, including air conditioners, kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, refrigerators or televisions and water heaters, offering exceptional value in the affordable housing market.
Strategically linked to major highways such as Elite and MEX, Idaman Melur offers both convenience and comfort, nestled within a peaceful, green environment.
Datuk Seri Amirudin shared that the project forms part of the broader Rumah Idaman MBI initiative, which comprises six developments totalling 7,210 affordable units across Selangor.
Upcoming phases include Bukit Jelutong, which is set to offer 1,400 units, and Sabak Bernam, with 1,260 units scheduled for completion in 2026.
All homes under the initiative are constructed using MGB's in-house Industrialised Building System (IBS) precast concrete technology, ensuring efficient build times and high-quality standards.
Amirudin said: "Our commitment remains strong in ensuring the well-being of the people of Selangor through the provision of high-quality, comfortable homes equipped with essential amenities."
"We are confident in the success of Rumah Idaman BSP and other Rumah Idaman MBI projects, as their strategic locations, affordable pricing, and inclusion of necessary appliances will greatly enhance the quality of life for our residents."
Meanwhile, LBS Bina executive chairman Tan Sri Ir. Dr. Lim Hock San praised the strength of the public-private collaboration behind the initiative.
"The Rumah Idaman projects reflect a shared commitment to social responsibility and construction excellence.
"We are proud that Idaman Melur achieved a QLASSIC score of 79 per cent by CIDB and was delivered ahead of schedule, just like Idaman BSP in 2024. Demand has been overwhelming, reaffirming this segment as a core focus for MGB.
"The same IBS technology used here is being applied internationally, including in our ROSHN Al-Arous Phase 1 project in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia," Lim added.
PNSB chief executive officer Raja Ahmad Shahrir Iskandar Raja Salim said the collaboration showcases how the state and private sector can work together to create impactful, people-centric developments.
"We are proud to play our part in realising the state's vision for inclusive, quality housing," he added.

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.
