"This smart collaboration between the public and private sectors reflects a shared commitment to delivering quality, well-equipped, and accessible homes.
'The Rumah Idaman projects developed by MGB are built using our advanced IBS precast concrete technology, which is also used internationally, including in our project in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for the ROSHN Al-Arous Phase 1 development.
'We are also pleased to report that demand for these homes has been overwhelming, reaffirming this segment as a key focus for MGB.
'Notably, Idaman Melur has achieved an outstanding QLASSIC score of 79%, the standard set by the Construction Industry and Development Board (CIDB), hence setting a new benchmark for construction excellence and underscoring our commitment to quality.
'Today is especially meaningful for us as we hand over the keys to proud new homeowners of Idaman Melur ahead of schedule—continuing the momentum from our early delivery of Idaman BSP in 2024. This milestone is a testament to our pursuit of excellence and to supporting Selangor's vision of building over 200,000 affordable homes by 2028."

This partnership not only aligns with our commitment to enhancing housing accessibility but also exemplifies our dedication to delivering quality and value to the community. Together, we are making a significant impact on providing affordable, high-quality homes for all.'
