WSP Malaysia Celebrates 5th Anniversary

Our Malaysia office marks half a decade of engineering excellence at a celebration event with our clients, partners and collaborators. 

Since its inception in 2017, WSP Malaysia has grown from a humble team of 5 employees to a team strength of 60 employees with expertise in rail and buildings, civil and structural, mechanical, electrical, project, programme and construction management, architects, BIM modelers, and a functional support team. 

To commemorate the milestone, the cocktail reception themed ‘We are Future Ready’ was held at Pool Bar & Grill and The Gallery, Le Méridien, Kuala Lumpur on 23 November. It was our privilege to have the presence of the High Commissioner of Canada in Malaysia, His Excellency Wayne Robson, to grace our event along with Senior Trade Commissioner Ryan Baerg, and Trade Commissioner Mohan Gurusamy.  

Ivy Kong, CEO of WSP Asia; James Pang, Managing Director of WSP Singapore & Malaysia and Karthegasen Nakulan, Operations Director of WSP Malaysia, were joined by over 120 staff, clients and partners at the anniversary bash, including Alex Wan, Asia’s Managing Director of Smart Solutions and Advanced Engineering; Petr Kurka, Global Director Industry; and Steve Lankester, Asia’s Regional Development Director.

To kickstart the event, Ivy Kong gave her opening remarks highlighting on the anniversary’s theme focusing on driving Future Ready solutions across different sectors in Malaysia, with our commitment to achieve net zero, technical excellence, coupled with an innovative digital mindset. 

Our Guest of Honour Wayne Robson cited WSP Malaysia as being instrumental in contributing to the iconic buildings with the likes of the Petronas Twin Towers, playing major roles in technically challenging transport and infrastructure projects and providing industry clients with exemplary engineering services that will create long-term value to the economy and society. 

Moving forward, WSP Malaysia aims to be involved in large, scaled projects in programme and construction management, and more diversified projects in the industrial sector including pharmaceutical, electronics, and semiconductors. We will also contribute to renewable energy projects, and establish our presence in East Malaysia to penetrate the untapped market opportunities there. WSP will continue to bring positive impact to Malaysia in more years to come.
