SOME 25 strata properties, ranging from low- and medium- to high-end, were honoured by Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) at the Strata Community Awards Ceremony (Aksara) 2024. Every two years MBSJ recognises outstanding strata management communities and agents in areas under its purview. In a statement, MBSJ Corporate and Strategic Management Department said Aksara aimed at encouraging the establishment and efficient operation of joint management bodies (JMB) and management corporations (MC). 'It is also aimed at supporting the implementation of the National Community Policy towards creating a more conducive, harmonious and safe residential environment, strengthening strategic cooperation between JMBs/ MCs and MBSJ as well as providing rating and guidance to potential strata developments to make them more competitive.' A total of 252 strata developments, encompassing apartment categories, were assessed for the 2024 awards, based on their respective management and maintenance performance. Twenty-five properties received the Five-Star Rating Award; some also received special awards based on their designated categories. In addition, five management agents were recognised for their commitment to strengthening strata community management, especially in low-cost areas without a management body. The properties that were recognised with the special Best Strata Management Award were Pangsapuri Enggang MC and Pangsapuri Puchong Permata Fasa 2 MC in the low-cost category, Pangsapuri Kantan Court MC and Pangsapuri Suria Permai JMB in the medium-cost category as well as The Glades JMB and Subang Indera Condominium MC in the high-end category. The Best Management Agent Award went to MSFM and Associates, Intra Harta Consultants Sdn Bhd, Nilai Harta Consultant Sdn Bhd, TCL Management and Services and IPC Management Sdn Bhd. The 25 properties that received the Five-Star Rating Award were divided into five zones – Subang, Kinrara, Puchong, Putra Permai and Seri Kembangan. Subang Jaya mayor Datuk Amirul Azizan Abdul Rahim presented the awards to winners at a hotel in Shah Alam. Also present were deputy mayor Mohd Zulkurnain Che Ali, National Housing Department Strata Management Division director Mohd Syaiful Rizal Abu Bakar and MBSJ councillors. MBSJ added in its statement that the Aksara award ceremony was a continuation of the Star Rating Evaluation programme, which was implemented yearly through a collaboration between MBSJ's Commissioner of Buildings and the Housing and Local Government Ministry's Urban Services Division. The programme aims to assess the management and maintenance levels of strata developments in areas under MBSJ's purview.
