Marbles on the floor of the main TBMM building and the Stairs of Honor were repaired and polished, while energy-saving LED lamps replaced the lighting fixtures in the Ceremony Hall and the main building facade. Additionally, all heating, cooling, and ventilation systems were maintained, and elevators, especially those for the disabled, were serviced.
