The Malaysian Property Press Awards 2018 will take place on 10th December 2018 at Istana Hotel Kuala Lumpur

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Dec. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Malaysian Property Press Awards 2018 is underway. In its ninth year, the award ceremony will take place on 10^th December 2018 at Istana Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, attended by various VVIPs, VIPs and renowned developers, property industry superstars and industry supporting service providers.

This unique award ceremony for the property industry is an initiative by the strategic property content provider Emjay Communications, Property360Digest and the Malaysia Global Business Forum, recognising the outstanding achievements of participants within the property industry via a unique format.

The Malaysian Property Press Awards has carved a niche for itself as the only property awards ceremony that is adjudicated exclusively by senior members of the press. It utilises a comprehensive selection process that takes into account the positive market impact; performance; quality of products; calibre of services; and the scope of corporate social responsibility activity that candidates have exhibited.

These have been tracked and identified via our stories throughout the course of the year, and ultimately shortlisted for awards purposes. Importantly, we also take into account the positive feedback these various projects and corporations have received from our valued readers. This unique concept and outlook is born from the belief that a respected property print platform and her editorial team are often regarded as the voice of the people, and by extension represents the collective conscience of the nation. Through the printed stories and articles, these publications are able to raise important issues for discussion, highlight matters that have impacted our everyday lives and provide a crucial forum for the opinions and viewpoints of consumers. 

Society becomes all the richer when its people are exposed to issues that have depth of analysis and range of thought. Very often the people behind the thought-provoking issues and opinion pieces are the print editors, whose conscience for what is right and fair drives them to address issues that would otherwise be overlooked.

This year, the Malaysian Property Press Awards has taken a step closer to its goal to be an authentic property press awards by inviting superstars from various media and industries to sit on the valuation team as VIP judges. These individuals include Datuk Seri Abdul Jalil Abdul Hamid (CEO of The New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Berhad); Datuk Wong Sai Wan (Editor-in-Chief of Malay Mail and COO for the media business of Ancom Bhd); Datuk Seri Dr Vincent Tiew (Senior Vice President of Aladdin Group); Dato' Seri Jackie Tee (a renowned consultant); Previn Singhe (CEO of Zerin Properties); Ishmael Ho (CEO of Ho Chin Soon Research); Ar Ezumi Harzani Ismail (President of Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia); Nordin Abdullah (Founding Chairman of The Malaysia Global Business Forum); and Gunaprasath Bupalan (Managing Director of Emjay Communications, Managing Editor of Property360Digest and Chairman of the Malaysian Property Press Awards).

This year, the Awards recognise 15 of the most deserving projects, companies, services and individuals, making the awards more boutique, exclusive and inclusive.
