Corporate
It has been 41 years since NCT Group of Companies set forth on its path in entrepreneurship. It started from scratch in the tiling business and steadily gaining experience and strength in the industry.
Milestone
1985
In 1985, Dato’ Sri Yap Ngan Choy founded NCT. The company quickly established itself as a leader in the supply and installation of tiles for property projects, with a strong emphasis on high-quality, value-added craftsmanship and service.
1997
By 1997, NCT Tiling had established itself as the biggest tiling company in Malaysia. The company’s reputation for quality products and timely delivery resulted in various business deals with prominent developers.
2000
NCT expanded into construction, real estate and building materials with the establishment of NCT Building & Civil Engineering Sdn Bhd. Over the years, the Group completed more than RM10 billion worth of contracts and built its reputation as a White Knight developer through the successful rehabilitation and completion of abandoned projects, including La Cottage, Sepang, as well as rectification and completion works for major housing developments.
2012
NCT strengthened its position as a project rehabilitation specialist when it was appointed by the Malaysian Government to restore Bandar Salak Tinggi, the country’s largest recovery project at the time. The project was successfully rehabilitated within three years, delivering residential units comprising double-storey houses, 2½-storey terrace houses and medium-cost apartments.
2013
In 2013, NCT was appointed to rehabilitate Billion Court, Pahang’s largest abandoned project at the time. Despite the project’s challenging terrain and site conditions, the rehabilitation was successfully completed, enabling its transformation into a tourism-focused destination in Genting Highlands.
2019
Dato’ Sri Yap Ngan Choy and Dato’ Joe Yap Fook Choy completed the acquisition of Grand-Flo Berhad, an IT-related company with property development interests. Following the takeover, the Group began repositioning its business focus towards property development.
2020
As part of its strategic realignment, Grand-Flo Berhad divested its enterprise data collection and collation system (EDCCS) businesses, fully exiting the segment to concentrate on property development as its core focus.
2021
The Group executed three key corporate exercises to strengthen its position in property development, including the acquisition of Grand Ion Majestic and Grand Ion Delemen in Genting Highlands. During the year, the Group also completed a private placement exercise and rebranded from Grand-Flo Berhad to NCT Alliance Berhad, marking a new phase of growth.
2023
The Group expanded its development portfolio with the addition of Acacia Residences, NCT Smart Industrial Park, and Ion Belian Garden. This year, NCT Alliance received multiple industry recognitions, including five awards from the Malaysia Book of Records, as well as awards from The Star Media Group’s Malaysia Developers Awards, ASEAN Property Awards, Malaysian Brand Award, and iProperty Awards.
2024
NCT Alliance progressed its hospitality portfolio through a collaboration with Hard Rock International to introduce Asia Pacific’s highest Hard Rock Cafe at Wyndham Grand Ion Majestic Hotel, Genting Highlands. The Group also expanded its landbank through a strategic acquisition in Penampang, Sabah, and launched The Road to NCT Junior Badminton Championship as part of its community engagement initiatives.
2025
NCT Alliance continued its expansion with the launch of NCT InnoSphere in Kedah and Ion Borneo Garden in Sabah, strengthening its presence across key regional markets. During the year, master planning works for Ion Marina Bay progressed, while additional phases of Ion Belian Garden were successfully handed over. NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP) completed Phase 1 infrastructure works and received a 5-Diamond Rating under the Low Carbon Cities 2030 Challenge. NCT InnoSphere achieved GreenRE Silver Provisional Certification, and NCT Alliance was recognised with the GPM Sustainability Award – Project of the Year, reflecting the Group’s continued focus on sustainability and ESG practices.
