KPKT: Malaysia emerges as biggest winner at FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2026

PETALING JAYA (June 12): Malaysia has emerged as the biggest winner at the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2026 held in Vienna, Austria, with the country’s developers taking home six gold and six silver awards across multiple categories, according to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT).

In a statement, KPKT said the latest wins bring Malaysia’s historical tally to 46 gold medals at what is often dubbed the “Oscars of Real Estate”, which it said reflects the competitiveness of the local property sector on the global stage.

Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said the strong showing affirmed Malaysia’s capabilities in delivering sustainable, high-quality property projects and liveable communities that meet international benchmarks.

“Malaysia emerging as the biggest winner at the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2026 is the best testimony of our world-class housing and property development capabilities,” he said.

“This is not just a win for our developers but also a pride to our nation. It proves beyond doubt that our local developers are capable of delivering sustainable, high-quality projects and building thriving communities that match international benchmarks.”

Nga said the achievement follows the implementation of a series of housing and regulatory reforms by the ministry, including the Housing Integrated Management System (HIMS), TEDUH, the electronic sale and purchase agreement (eSPA) and the mandatory audit of the Housing Development Account (HDA), aimed at facilitating and strengthening real estate development.

“It is obvious that the MADANI housing reforms have started to bear fruit,” he added.

Looking ahead, Nga called on industry players to leverage the international recognition to further raise standards while ensuring broader access to quality homes.

“We hope that the rest of the industry will see this remarkable achievement as an inspiration to keep innovating and continually elevating the benchmark for our property industry,” he said.

“By combining government support with the private sector’s world-class expertise, we remain dedicated to building more liveable and lovable communities for the rakyat,” he added.
