The inaugural NEA 2016 honours outstanding property developments nationwide through passion and excellence in Malaysian real estate…
”NEA: The Artsy Awards” – It is an award show and property pageant like no other. Held at the prestigious Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC), the Award’s claim to fame is its niche and bold approach towards discovering the eventual winners who are truly worthy of the lofty ideals laid out within the Noble Excellence Awards 2016 ~ “Passion Driven, Excellence Inspired!”
The inaugural Noble Excellence Awards (NEA) was held on 16 January 2016 from 6pm onwards at Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC) was a splashing success. Organized by TTien Media Group in the glitzy and glittery affair was attended by more than 300 guests and VIPs alike, comprising the who’s who in Malaysian real estate, as well as property development’s industry players & stalwarts, and also society’s elites & iconoclasts. Guest of honour YB Senator Dato’ Dr. Loga Bala Mohan, Deputy Minister of The Federal Territories also officiated the opening ceremony.
Upon the arrival of the participants, visitors and invitees, a casual mocktail was served in the lounge/cafeteria reception area followed by an evening dinner. The emcee of the evening is none other the iconic and popular TraxxFm radio deejay, Mr. Albert Ng. Despite experiencing a slight hiccup and delay in commencing with the programme, the opening ceremony itself proceeded rather smoothly. Suffice to say, the entire event was a runaway success, and it created a huge buzz or impact among social media circles as well as within the local property industry. We will be eagerly looking forward to next year’s edition – the Noble Excellence Awards 2017 with great expectations.
Proudly organized by TTien Media Group, the inaugural Noble Excellence Awards serves to highlight outstanding projects, as well as identify and honour conscientious developers and personality icons who seek to make a real impact in the community residing within and around these projects. It is also Malaysia’s first-ever award to brand the property development profession as noble. It is a refreshingly new definition and awe-inspiring breakthrough in human civilization. As Award winners, they are recognized as being a part of great living testimonies of excellence in ‘Livability, Environment & Community’.
