KUALA LUMPUR, 12 FEBRUARY 2026 – Ipoh City Council (MBI) today recorded another proud achievement today when it received two prestigious recognitions at the 2025 Low Carbon City Award Ceremony under the Low Carbon Cities Framework (LCCF) rating.

The award presentation ceremony was officiated by Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES) Minister Datuk Seri Arthur Joseph Kurup.
