Themed “Safe and Secure Living”, MAPEX organising chairman and Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association Malaysia (Rehda) deputy president Datuk Michael Yam said in a statement that the theme was chosen to raise greater public awareness on safe and secure living environments especially in their own homes.
