This initiative was specially crafted to reward purchasers who successfully executed their sale and purchase agreements, loan agreements and fulfilled all stipulated terms and conditions under the campaign.
Held from Oct 1 to Dec 31 2024, the campaign generated an impressive RM537mil in total bookings, mainly contributed by projects located at areas such as Selangor (Cybersouth, Seri Kembangan, Puchong) and Johor (Molek) where demand were primarily driven by first-time home buyers.

The campaign's grand finale took place during the lively Raya KITA Fest, held at the LBS Discovery Gallery KITA @ Cybersouth.
The highlight of the event was the official prize presentation ceremony, where LBS executive director Datuk Cynthia Lim handed over mock cheques to the lucky winners.
'This campaign is our way of expressing heartfelt appreciation to our customers while spreading joy and excitement throughout the LBS community.
'As a developer deeply rooted in community values, we take great pride in bringing festive cheer to our customers and the broader LBS family.
'This initiative also aligns with our three-year '8 x 8 Strategy', particularly our focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience – ensuring that every interaction is personalised, seamless and meaningful,' said Lim.
In support of the Malaysian government's efforts to promote domestic tourism, LBS contributes by offering hotel stays at premier destinations.
'We hope these rewards inspire homeowners to explore the richness of Malaysia's heritage while serving as a token of our appreciation for their trust and support,' she added.
The event attracted over 200 guests, including LBS Perks and Plusses partners, campaign winners, potential buyers and the local community.
Guests celebrated Hari Raya in a festive atmosphere filled with joy, unity and music — highlighted by a free concert featuring local artists who were brought in by LBS, such as Naim Daniel, Iman Troye and Zarul Umbrella.
It was a true reflection of the group's commitment to creating memorable experiences for the public.

NST Leader: Of defence assets and agents
AUG 16 will be a day that the people who matter in the Defence Ministry will never forget. It was the day His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia disclosed to the nation that the ministry was full of agents, ex-generals turned salesmen and even textile merchants peddling drones. He made this disclosure in his royal address during the parade marking the 60th anniversary of the Special Forces Regiment at Kem Iskandar in Mersing, Johor. Relying on agents is a dangerous pursuit for an institution that is tasked with defending the country. And in case they forget, three days later, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim reminded those responsible for procuring defence assets to end the reliance on agents when replying to a question in Parliament. The Defence Ministry, he said, had faced decades of controversies and scandals involving procurement, forcing the government to adopt government-to-government negotiations. Why then is the Defence Ministry packed with agents? Perhaps the RM5 billion defence procurement and development spending in 2024 — an increase of RM2 billion from that of 2020 — has something to do with it. A royal reprimand and a prime ministerial reminder say a lot about the seriousness of the problem. Enough of the "the decades of controversies and scandals", we say. We know that middlemen is a Malaysian malaise, but of all places in the Defence Ministry? The use of agents — ex-generals or otherwise — comes with at least two dangers. Let's begin with the more dangerous of the dangers: poor quality of defence assets peddled by the agents. Compromise the defence assets, then you compromise the defence of the country. Defence assets of quality don't need agents to peddle them. Nations will beat the path to their door. It is "flying coffins", to borrow a royal phrase, like the second-hand A-4 Skyhawk aircraft bought in the 1980s, that need the hawking, excuse the pun. Scrap the plan to buy the 30-year-old Black Hawk helicopters, Sultan Ibrahim ordered the Defence Ministry. Media reports say the armed forces is scrapping its plan to buy four Black Hawk helicopters at a cost of RM187 million. But the question is: why wait for the royal command? Isn't the internal process robust enough to raise red flags? Or is integrity a challenge? Dropping the purchase of the helicopters is just the first step. More needs to be done. The primary interest of agents, even ex-generals turned salesmen, is how much they can get out of the deal. The quality of the defence assets they are hawking or whether or not they are compromising the security of the nation is secondary. For Malaysia, a nation of small means, every ringgit spent must show up its worth. The purchase of 88 second-hand A-4 Skyhawk jets did the exact opposite. It drained the country's coffers of millions. Although the price tag was US$1 million each, getting them refurbished took years, spiralling the cost to four times that to RM1.2 billion, media reports say. Then there is the Scorpene submarine deal in 2002 that cost US$130 million in commission. If this is how we do procurement of defence assets, even hundreds of billions wouldn't be enough.

LBS posts RM55.3 million Patmi in 1H FY2025
PETALING JAYA: LBS Bina Group Berhad, a property developer, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, which delivered a resilient performance amidst the Group's efforts to lay a solid foundation for its next wave of growth. The Group's revenue of RM309.8 million contributed to a profit after tax and minority interests (PATMI) of RM27.1 million in the quarter under review. This came on the back of some of the Group's projects, which had achieved completion or were nearing completion last year. The Group's township developments are expected to continue delivering steady contributions ahead. For the first half of 2025, LBS achieved a cumulative revenue of RM639.0 million, predominantly from the property development segment which contributed 95.5% of the total revenue. Consequently, LBS delivered a PATMI of RM55.3 million. Moving forward, LBS' sales performance remains creditable with total property sales and bookings of RM690.20 million and RM401.11 million respectively as of Aug 19, 2025. Klang Valley remains as the primary growth driver, led by its top performing township, LBS Alam Perdana, which registered the highest sales growth. Over the medium to long term, the Group's performance is expected to be further enhanced through the development rights agreement which was signed with Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd and its subsidiaries to develop 192.32 acres in Kwasa Damansara. Carrying a gross development value of approximately RM8.30 billion, the premium residential development will be executed in phases over 14 years, significantly entrenching LBS' presence in the Klang Valley. LBS Group executive chairman Tan Sri (Dr) Lim Hock San remarked, 'We are currently in a transition phase, preparing for the next wave of launches under our 8 x 8 Strategy alongside the transformative Kwasa Damansara Township. These initiatives, supported by our 3,780-acre landbank serve as growth drivers in our expansion journey. They will form a sustainable development pipeline that will underpin our growth over the medium to long term.' 'With RM1.33 billion in unbilled sales to be progressively recognised and healthy sales momentum in our core Klang Valley markets, we have strong earnings visibility ahead. Our established townships, KITA @ Cybersouth, LBS Alam Perdana, along with Prestige Residenceand Idaman projects, continue to perform well, reinforcing our competitive position and our ability to deliver long term value for shareholders,' he added.
