LOST World of Tambun (LWOT), an anchor component of Sunway City Ipoh (SCI), clinched World Gold Winner in the Resort Category at the recent FIABCI Prix d’Excellence Award 2015, making SCI the first integrated development in Southeast Asia to garner five FIABCI accolades including two world titles.
“We are humbled by this international recognition. As Malaysia’s top property developer, tourism development is central to complementing our integrated developments in the townships we build. Having achieved resounding success with Sunway Resort City in Selangor, which is one of the top tourist hubs in the region, we are very proud that Sunway City Ipoh, a joint venture with the Perak state government, is another success story and is now an international tourist attraction in Malaysia. It continues to boost tourism activity and remains an economic driver for the state of Perak,” said Sunway Group managing director (property investment division) Datuk Ngeow Voon Yean.
As the first township in Southeast Asia today with five FIABCI titles to its name, Sunway City Ipoh continues to make significant contributions to the transformation of Ipoh’s urban development.
