In a statement today, MAIPs said the award was given for its Seberang Ramai Colourful Village Transformation Royal Project in Kuala Perlis, which was recognised as a high-impact project to assist the community.
"The project was an initiative by the MAIPs and the Perlis Tuanku Syed Putra Foundation (YTSP), and carried out in collaboration with the Kangar Municipal Council (MPK), various state and federal agencies, the private sector, and members of the local community," read the statement.
It said the award was received by MAIP chief executive officer Mohd Nazim Mohd Noor at a ceremony held at the Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur recently.
