The Malaysian tech team – MYCRS, known for their pivotal role in addressing the concrete test fraud issue in the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge Mega Project, has returned home to launch their startup. Their objective is to assist Malaysian authorities and industries in advancing domestic quality justice through enhanced transparency and traceability, providing a sense of reassurance and confidence to all stakeholders.
In today’s world, homes play a vital role in the lives of individuals. Purchasing a home often represents a significant investment of a lifetime’s savings and embodies the dreams of many families. However, ensuring the quality of homes during construction, minimizing safety risks, and protecting consumer rights are crucial considerations. A robust quality control system is essential in achieving these objectives.
MYCRS, a Malaysian technology startup, stands out in the global construction industry with its unique approach. It leverages IoT and RFID-supported tools to address a critical issue—ensuring concrete quality. Unlike other solutions, MYCRS tracks each cement sample’s journey from liquid to solid state and monitors the entire engineering testing process using RFID tracking chips. This comprehensive approach ensures the highest level of quality control, providing users with accurate, tamper-proof, and error-free outputs that comply with British Standards.
MYCRS addresses this challenge by tracking each cement sample’s journey from liquid to solid state and monitoring the entire engineering testing process using RFID tracking chips. Through scanning, testing, and monitoring, MYCRS compiles captured readings into engineering data that is compliant with British Standards, providing users with accurate, tamper-proof, and error-free outputs. This not only enhances testing efficiency but also provides vital evidence for post-engineering liability tracing.
Initially developed for the Hong Kong railway and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge projects, MYCRS has expanded its reach to cover all major construction projects in Hong Kong and has been adopted by the Singapore government for Housing Development Board (HDB) construction. It is the world’s first and only technology solution provider validated by the official engineering departments of two regions for its practicality, quality, and stability.
Over the past five years, MYCRS has remained steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding the lives and assets of millions of consumers overseas. Now, it aims to promote and innovate its technology back in Malaysia & Southeast Asia, supporting regulatory agencies in enhancing concrete testing supervision and ensuring the stability of every home for homebuyers. MYCRS’s unwavering commitment to safety and quality ensures that every homebuyer can feel secure and protected.

“It’s a challenge I’ve never done before, mangitlog (lay an egg), pero (but) why not? This octogenarian would like to remain innovative, even in his twilight years. So roll out your MB egg up to Baguio – and let’s see how my fantasy fertilizes this egg,” Kidlat shared via email correspondence when invited to join this year’s HATCH.
HATCH challenges Filipino artists to unleash their talent on an unexpected canvas – a fiberglass egg. Past editions have seen these eggs transformed into whimsical, exotic, and even profound art pieces. Artists use everyday materials infused into the egg, turning them into masterpieces.

Beyond the gallery walls, HATCH fosters a vibrant community, connecting artists, art fans, and the public, offering a unique perspective on Filipino creativity.
A new generation of “egg-cited” artists has devoted their time, talent, and skills to showcase the creative genius of the Filipino mind. Featured artists include National Artist of the Philippines for film Kidlat Tahimik, Marcel Antonio, Melai Arguzon, Andre Chan, Elaine Clemente, Katrina Cuenca, Sean Go, Julie Lluch, Marlon Magbanua, Glenn Martinez, Dennis Montera, Bea Policarpio, Joel Reglos, Maxine Syjuco, Herminio Tan, Valerie Teng, and Manila City Vice Mayor John Marvin “Yul Servo” Nieto.
