The Federation of Malaysia Hardware, Machinery & Building Materials Dealers’ Association (FMHMBA) Publication frequency: Bimonthly (6 issues per year) (www.mhmba.org.my) COVER CREDIT: Loke Thye Kee Residences by Ministry of Design Pte Ltd (Edward Hendricks) FOREWORD As Malaysia continues to face a new level of globalisation, the construction industry and its players face various challenges. The need to collaborate and keep updated with the latest innovations and technologies in the building industry is more critical now than before. As such, I believe that BCI Asia’s Construction+ Malaysia magazine is a timely platform for such exchanges of ideas and news, from government authorities and professionals’ insights, on developments that affect the local construction market. The Federation of Malaysia Hardware, Machinery & Building Materials Dealers’ Association (FMHMBA) is proud to be a supporting association of Construction+ Malaysia. Since 1993, our association (then known as the Malaysia Hardware, Machinery & Building Materials Dealers’ Association) has been carrying out its mission to represent the best cause for its members, now numbering more than 3,000 nationwide. We serve as a national representative body to bridge our members and the government authorities through frequent dialogues, meetings and discussions to highlight and address issues, such as trade barriers and government policies, that affect the industry. The FMHMBA plays a very important role in promoting and protecting its members’ businesses to stay competitive. We are also the founding member of the Federation Asia Pacific Hardware Chamber (FAPHC), which consists of counterpart associations from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia. It is indeed the first step for our association to look beyond the boundaries of Malaysia and explore business and investment opportunities within other overseas markets. Various business trips have been organised to promote Malaysian products and services, as well as to cultivate trade links with overseas counterparts. The FMHMBA is sincerely looking forward to a deeper collaboration with Construction+ Malaysia and hopes it will continue to grow along with the construction industry.

Even as we are busy trying to keep up and build something of ourselves, there are times we need to pause and look back. Our history and heritage have all played a part in moulding us. By understanding and appreciating where we have come from, we can focus on where we are going. This is true for us, individually and as an industry. The construction sector plays a vital role in shaping a nation and its identity. As we strive to build with the latest trends and technologies, having a clearer sense of our identity will help us create cities that are not merely blocks of concrete devoid of spirit, soul and stories. In this issue of Construction+, we bridge the old with the new, the traditional with the cutting-edge, in our range of featured projects. Read about the tireless work involved in restoring the 144-year-old Cheah Kongsi Ancestral Temple to its original state, down to the tiniest details; and the reinvention of five turn-of-the-century shophouses into the contemporary and stylish Loke Thye Kee Residences. Marvel at the technical advancements involved in building Malaysia’s first oil and gas tension leg platform, which reaches 500 metres deep— the height of the Petronas Twin Towers and then some. And peek into the first Green industrial building in the Subang Jaya area. In our commentaries, Cha-ly Koh of Propertypricetag.com shares how big data can help us plan our city more efficiently, while Hajah Norchahaya Hashim of the Malaysia Timber Industry Board advocates for more extensive use of timber in the construction industry. Did you know that our ubiquitous government school buildings are products of climate-responsive design? Azril Amir Jaafar of VERITAS Architects shares this and his other works as the man In The Spotlight. We are also pleased to honour Malaysian industry movers and shakers at our BCI Asia Awards 2017 ceremony this past May. Now in its 13th year, the event recognises the top 10 builders and designers with the greatest volume of buildings in the country. We will be featuring the works of these winners, and those of our Interior Design Awards 2017, in this and upcoming issues of Construction+. We hope you enjoy this issue and let us know what you think about it. Send your comments, feedback and ideas to [email protected].
