00:00The Malaysia Developer Awards MDA 2025 culminated in yet another spectacular celebration,
00:10gathering the elite of the nation's property development industry for an unforgettable gala dinner in Kuala Lumpur.
00:17Marking its fourth consecutive year, the MDA has cemented its status as the nation's premier benchmark for excellence,
00:24recognising 25 top developers whose achievements are setting new global standards for property development.
00:32In his opening remarks, Star Media Group Chief Executive Officer Chan Seng-Fat highlighted the significance of MDA 2025,
00:41which has quickly become a prestigious accolade within the industry.
00:45And with each passing year, we have sought to raise the power in recognising two excellents in real estate development.
00:54In partnership with FIAPC Malaysia, a need synonymous with global property excellence,
01:04we have continued to refine and strengthen our evaluation process to make MDA the most transparent and credible industry benchmark in Malaysia.
01:16FIAPC Malaysia, immediate past President Datuk Firdaus Musa, said the MDA is not merely a ceremony of recognition,
01:23but a reflection of the pulse of Malaysia's property industry.
01:27It celebrates excellence in shaping our cities, enhancing the quality of life and contributing to Malaysia's economic growth.
01:37It sends a clear signal that development in Malaysia is no longer just about building structures,
01:44but about building communities, creating value, and living a meaningful legacy in our built environment.
01:54The gala dinner formally honoured industry leaders across two main categories,
01:59the top of the chart awards and the special awards.
02:02IOI Properties reinforced its overall victory by achieving a remarkable dual win,
02:09taking home both the Best in Quantitative Award and the Best in Qualitative Award,
02:14accolades which recognised its exceptional financial robustness and long-term project sustainability.
02:20Yeah, it's a great honour to receive the recognition from the industry player.
02:26We are very proud, yet humble, by this recognition.
02:31This award also will push us to do better, to deliver better results to our stakeholders.
02:36This award is for the team, for Team IOI.
02:40Avaland Berhad emerged as the top developer,
02:43reinforcing its strong presence and also taking home the Best in Quantitative Award.
02:48We are truly honoured to receive the number one spot in this category,
02:53and we would like to thank the Star Media Group,
02:57the ABSI, the industry judges, and of course our supportive homeowners for this recognition.
03:05This recognition reflects the continuous effort,
03:09the passion and the commitment of the Avaland team
03:13to consistently deliver quality and sustainable homes across the different market segments.
03:22The MDA Special Awards category added another layer of distinction to the evening,
03:28celebrating developers focused on innovation and growth trajectory.
03:32The Rising Star Award, designed to highlight up-and-coming leaders,
03:36was jointly presented to Havis Development Sandirian Berhad and Triterra Sandirian Berhad.
03:42I'm absolutely elated,
03:45because as someone who has won many similar accolades in the past,
03:50now we call a rising star,
03:53when I should be a falling star,
03:55it's what we call a second win,
03:57second win,
03:58having gone to Gangnam for a facelift, you know.
04:02So, I'm of course absolutely happy,
04:05but I think what I'm trying to say is,
04:08this must be a win by the young team that had been set up shortly just before COVID,
04:14and they were able to produce something like the Met Corporate Tower,
04:20it's quite an achievement.
04:21Of course, we were very happy,
04:23and first of all, we need to thank Star and Pepsi Malaysia
04:27awarded the awards for us to recognize us as a rising star.
04:33But of course, throwback 2022, when it started,
04:37we really need to thank our team harvest,
04:39and also all the stakeholders' help.
04:40Without them, we don't have two days.
04:43In a powerful testament to the global aspirations of Malaysian developers,
04:48OSK Property took home the prestigious International Award
04:51for its Melbourne Square development in Australia.
04:54Actually, we are deeply honored and also humbled by the award.
04:58I think on behalf of OSK Property,
05:00I'd like to thank MDA for basically recognizing our effort in Melbourne.
05:05And also, I actually wanted to dedicate this award to all our staff
05:09who have been working very hard for this project,
05:10as well as all our business partners,
05:12and most importantly, our customers who have been supporting us all throughout.
05:16So, without them, I don't think we'll be able to come to hear this stage.
05:19The MDA is a powerful collaboration between FIUPSE Malaysia and SMG,
05:25which has rapidly established itself as the definitive gold standard
05:29for excellence in property development.
