Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad (PNSB), a subsidiary of the Selangor State Government under the supervision of Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated) (MBI), in partnership with MGB Berhad held a ceremony today (July 28) for the groundbreaking of Idaman Cahaya, the third phase of the highly successful Rumah Idaman MBI project at Cahaya Alam, Shah Alam.
Idaman Cahaya, an exquisite development situated in Shah Alam, comprises of 2 plots of land, 4.72 acres (Idaman Cahaya 1) and 7.52 acres (Idaman Cahaya 2) high-rise apartments with an estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM 394 million.
The project presents affordable housing options with diverse layout variations, all starting at an attractive price point of RM250,000. Each of the 568 units in Idaman Cahaya are exclusively designed to cater the modern homeowner’s needs, complete with essential appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, television, television cabinets, and water heaters.
The Rumah Idaman MBI project, a joint initiative between MGB and PNSB Construction Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary of PNSB, envisions the creation of 7,210 units of affordable homes, showcasing MGB’s Industrialised Building System (IBS) pre-cast technology.
The responsibility for the construction of Idaman Cahaya and Idaman Sari lies with the renowned PCSB-MGB Consortium. MGB has committed to launching Idaman Cahaya and Idaman Sari, both of which have a nearly 100% take up rate, as of the ground breaking day.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Tan Sri Ir. Lim Hock San, Executive Vice Chairman of MGB, stated, “Our inclusion of the internal IBS precast system in the Rumah Idaman MBI developments further reinforces our commitment to becoming the foremost provider of housing solutions through our cutting-edge IBS system. In the short-term, our primary objective is to ensure the seamless launch of the remaining Rumah Idaman MBI projects, which will set the stage for continued growth in the years to come.”
PNSB will continue to develop Rumah Idaman in important and prospective locations of Selangor, including the districts of Petaling, Gombak, Kuala Langat, Klang, Kuala Selangor, and Sabak Bernam, according to the CEO of PNSB, YM Raja Ahmad Shahrir Iskandar Bin Raja Salim. PNSB will jointly construct the 22 projects with the assistance of strategic alliances with other reputable developers. 2,059 units of Idaman Abadi in Kajang 2 have been completed as a result of earlier developments, while 6 other constructions are still ongoing comprising 6,569 units in four districts.

He also expressed steadfast confidence in the success of Idaman Sari, Idaman Cahaya, and other Rumah Idaman MBI developments, reiterating their commitment of meeting the housing needs of working-class individuals and young families while elevating the quality of life for Selangor residents.
