With a huge population to cater to, the supply of affordable housing has always been a point of contention for large cities.
In 1997, Malaysia was not spared from the Asian financial crisis. It was then that LBS Bina Group managing director Tan Sri Lim Hock San saw the struggle of the common people, especially for those living at the vicinity of Kuala Lumpur – many dreamt of owning a home, but they simply did not possess the means to realise this dream.
As such, Lim made it LBS’s mission to build affordable homes for the people.
