As FIABCI matured, membership became more broad based and today FIABCI has seven Principal Members namely, Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA), Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM), Real Estate & Housing Developers’ Association Malaysia (REHDA), Sarawak Housing Developers’ Association (SHEDA), Sabah Housing & Real Estate Developers’s Association (SHAREDA), Institut Perekabentuk Dalaman Malaysia (IPDM) and Persatuan Pengurusan Kompleks Malaysia (PPKM). The combined membership of these seven Principal Members provides a tremendous depth of interaction among property developers, architects, contractors, consultants, professional estate agents, homeowners and even some politicians.

FIABCI (Federation Internationale des Administrateurs de Bien-Conselis Immobiliers) is the French acronym for the “International Real Estate Federation”, and it operates chapters in 60 member countries, embracing 3,200 individual members, 100 different national associations, as well as 20 academic members, 3 public sector members and 1 multinational member. Through its Principal Members it has a networking of 1.5 million members worldwide. FIABCI as an organisation links all its members of real estate professional worldwide, representing every discipline in the industry. FIABCI Malaysia with its growing membership base, seeks to provide a window into a world of excellence in real estate, by sharing the efforts and successes of its worldwide membership to improve the quality of the environment and higher standards in real estate for Malaysians to enjoy.

During the past 31 years, FIABCI Malaysia successfully organized two Asia Pacific Real Estate Congress and one highly acclaimed World Congress in 2002, which was graced by our former Prime Minister, Y.A.Bhg Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohammed at the Opening Ceremony, the Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong at the Gala Dinner, and with events hosted by the Ministry of Tourism and the Mayor of Kuala Lumpur. Networking opportunities at these events were truly outstanding.

The true test of excellence of FIABCI Malaysian Chapter to its members has been in the establishment of the Malaysia Property Award (formerly known as FIABCI Award of Distinction or FIABCI Property Award of Distinction) now in its 15th year. These Awards are truly independent and to receive one today exemplifies the winner of the highest standards of professionalism in the built property environment. It is to FIABCI Malaysia’s credit, that our Awards Manual for evaluation and selection criteria, has been requested by FIABCI International for use as their journal for similar awards in Brazil, Czechoslovakia and Uruguay. It further demonstrates our ability to build world class software in event management.
FIABCI Malaysia in its endeavour to encourage young leaders in the industry, has taken its objectives to the undergraduates in universities. It has established a series of lunch seminars known as “Brown Paper Bag Seminar” where leading property players speak on all aspect of the real estate industry. This programme started in 2001 with University Malaya. It has now been extended to other universities and colleges in and around Kuala Lumpur.

Year 2005 marked a very significant milestone for FIABCI Malaysia in that, for the first time in 57 years of FIABCI’s history, a Malaysian, Y Bhg Dato’ Alan Tong Kok Mau, ascended to the highest office as the World President of FIABCI International. FIABCI Malaysia is proud of Y Bhg Dato’ Alan Tong as this accords Malaysia to the honour to lead a very prestigious world organization.

FIABCI as an accredited association, accepts membership from anyone who is interested in property, because it has no direct affiliation to any professional association. FIABCI is therefore seen as an independent body to advise, counsel and to create new ways and methods of property development and ownership. This is coordinated with our valuable Principal Members who are focused in their respective fields of expertise.

In 31 years FIABCI has become a mature property based association. It now has the strength based on its success in hosting international congresses, to expand its horizon into more independent and innovative areas.

FIABCI Malaysia continues to educate and lift real estate standards. It contributes towards nation building and development thereby enhancing the quality of life of all Malaysians.
