Work in progress: The Mpire Residences and Mpire Mall development project going on without a hitch at Jalan Tun Dr Awang in Bayan Lepas.

GEORGE TOWN: Months after the controversial MBI Group was raided by the authorities and its bank accounts frozen, a RM1bil mixed-development project undertaken by the Penang-based company has finally got off the ground.
