Developer to provide fully-furnished student accommodation in JB

PROPERTY developer Mah Sing Group Bhd has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Netherlands Maritime Institute of Technology (NMIT) to provide fully-furnished accommodation for its students.

Located just 20 minutes away from NMIT, the accommodation at Meridin@Medini has a two-way shuttle bus service to EduCity as well as to Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) Johor.

Students also get to experience full recreational facilities in Meridin@Medini such as swimming pool, gym, community centre, meeting rooms, tennis court as well as access to the Meridin Walk Lifestyle Mall and high-speed Internet.

Mah Sing senior general manager of development (southern region) Benjamin Ong said he was glad the company was able to provide suitable accommodation for NMIT students.

“Following our partnership with EduCity Iskandar Malaysia and i2M Ventures Sdn Bhd earlier this year, this is the third collaboration we formed to provide an ideal accommodation to the community studying or working around Iskandar Puteri,” he said.

Meanwhile, NMIT director Dr Mohd Farhan Razali said the maritime industry was growing globally as well as locally and more students were enrolling in NMIT.

“By partnering Mah Sing to provide the ideal accommodation for our 500 students here at Iskandar Puteri, this will create a conducive living environment for them and enhance their learning experience.

“The location and modern features of Meridin@Medini coupled with the additional facilities provided will fulfil the students’ needs.

“This partnership will benefit our students in many aspects,” added Dr Mohd Farhan.
