Inta Bina managing director Paul Lim Ooi Joo said: “We will be able to provide our construction expertise to ensure good quality and timely completion of the projects awarded by Lagenda Properties to the JV Co.”

“This joint venture is in line with the 12th Malaysia Plan where more affordable houses will be constructed nationwide. I believe the joint venture will augur positively to both groups.,” he said.
