SUNWAY BERHAD

SUNWAY BERHAD stands as one of Malaysia’s most transformative conglomerates — a company that did not merely grow with the nation, but helped reshape how cities are built and lived in.

From land to lifestyle, it has evolved into a fully integrated ecosystem spanning industries that define modern urban living.

Its journey reflects a powerful truth — that development becomes meaningful when it builds communities, not just structures.

Current Leadership:

Group Executive leadership under Sunway Group

The leadership continues to drive long-term growth through integrated development, sustainability, and ecosystem building.

Some companies build cities — SUNWAY rebuilt land itself.

In 1974, it began as a tin-mining business operating within an extractive landscape.

When the mines were exhausted, what remained was scarred land — abandoned pools, uneven terrain, and ground considered unusable.

Where others saw depletion, Jeffrey Cheah saw potential.

The vision was bold — to transform vast stretches of mined land into a self-sustaining township.

Despite skepticism and financial constraints, the plan moved forward.

Over time, 800 acres of former mining land were reimagined into Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, an integrated township combining residential, commercial, healthcare, education, and leisure components.

This transformation redefined not just the company, but the concept of urban development in Malaysia.

From wasteland to ecosystem, its journey reflects a powerful truth — that vision turns emptiness into possibility.

Core Activities include:

• Integrated property development and township planning

• Construction and infrastructure development

• Healthcare and education services

• Retail, hospitality, and leisure operations

• Investment holdings and REIT structures

The Group’s operational model focuses on integrated development, ecosystem ownership, recurring income assets, and multi-sector value creation. By combining property, construction, healthcare, education, retail, hospitality, leisure, and investment platforms, SUNWAY BERHAD positions itself as both a conglomerate and a long-term community ecosystem builder.

Notable Offerings Include:

• Integrated townships such as Sunway City Kuala Lumpur

• Sunway Medical Centre and healthcare network

SUNWAY BERHAD has pioneered integrated township development in Malaysia by demonstrating how degraded land can be transformed into sustainable, self-contained urban ecosystems.

The Group has bridged property development with healthcare, education, retail, hospitality, and leisure, creating a model where different industries reinforce one another within the same community framework.

Through Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway University, Sunway Pyramid, and Sunway Lagoon, the company has contributed to Malaysia’s urban lifestyle, healthcare access, education infrastructure, and tourism economy.

Its long-term approach to sustainable and community-centric planning has influenced how large-scale developments are conceived, managed, and expanded in Malaysia.

Some companies develop land — SUNWAY develops life around it.

From abandoned mining grounds to thriving urban ecosystems, its legacy is not defined by buildings, but by communities.

Its journey stands as a testament that when vision meets execution, even wastelands can become worlds.
