“Fresh from our victory in securing our single-largest construction contract, this new achievement is a testament to the group’s status as one of the leading builders of affordable housing in the country.
“Backed by our performance in successfully delivering various affordable housing projects throughout the nation, we are poised to continue being Selangor's constructor of choice in building cost-efficient and quality affordable homes,” he said in a statement.
