CONGRATULATIONS! MBI SECURES THIRD PLACE IN LOCAL AUTHORITY CATEGORY AT THE PERAK STATE LEVEL INNOVATION AWARDS 2025

IPOH, 17 NOVEMBER 2025 – Ipoh City Council (MBI) made history when the ValueX Group from the Valuation and Taxation Department, with its innovation D.Milik.i (Rateable Holding Transfer System), won third place in the Local Authority Category at the Perak State Level Innovation Awards 2025, held at  Dewan Banquet, Bangunan Perak Darul Ridzuan.

D.Milik.i is a digital system for property transfer applications under Section 160 of Act 171. This system makes it easier for the public by enabling all transfer transactions, checking information, uploading documents and making payments to be carried out simultaneously, thus making the process faster and more efficient.

The award was presented by State Science, Environment and Green Technology Committee Chairman Teh Kok Lim, representing the Perak Menteri Besar, to Ipoh Mayor Zamakhshari Hanipah.

With this success, MBI received RM5,000 in cash, a certificate and a trophy in recognition of the innovation produced and competed.

The Mayor of Ipoh extended his congratulations and well done to all MBI staff involved for their high commitment and continuous efforts to achieve this meaningful success. He also expressed his appreciation to the Valuation and Taxation Department and all parties who have given cooperation, dedication and contributions, resulting in this proud achievement.

Hopefully, this success will be a catalyst to further strengthen the culture of innovation in realising the aspirations of Ipoh as a Smart and Prosperous City 2030.
