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.
