CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
MANAGING DIRECTOR
The KTI journey began in 1984, when myself and Madam Chin embarked on this venture to realise our vision of how “everyone can own a home”. Together with our ethos of “Keep Transcending Ideas”, we sought out to deliver homes of great value, nurture innovative ideas, and provide a bold approach to the property landscape.
Over the past 40 years, we have conceived a multitude of projects that transcend just creating homes – including development in construction, hospitality, and commercial – resulting in a strong reputation with financiers, government bodies, as well as the market. Our pioneering spirit is also reflected in various firsts, such as “The Logg”, Luyang’s first mixed development, the first placemaking development called “Ayuria Place”, and most notably – our introduction to Industrialised Building System (IBS) manufacturing in Sabah.
Today, we are now a listed corporation with completed projects worth RM2.5 billion in both private and government sectors across Malaysia, with numerous accolades that reflect KTI’s unwavering dedication to quality workmanship as well as the transcending of innovative ideas. These accreditations empower KTI to continue pushing the standard of what a developer could be, and stand as a mark of excellence in the property industry. Moving forward, KTI will continue staying true to its values in realising our collective vision, and keep transcending ideas.
DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Reflecting on how far KTI has come, we recall the early days when we started off with limited funds while navigating through a significant financial crisis. Those challenging times underscored the critical importance of cash flow management. Through that, we fostered strong relationships with banks and secured vital government support, which enabled us to undertake more projects and establish a stable revenue stream.
Our commitment to prudent financial stewardship has been unwavering. KTI has consistently maintained strong reserve funds – earning a reputation as a reliable paymaster. Furthermore, our focus on property value – particularly targeting owner-occupiers – has ensured that our projects offer strong resale and appreciation value.
Together with our solid financial health and extensive industry experience, KTI stands poised for even greater success. Our journey, marked by resilience and strategic foresight, positions the company for future sustained growth and achievements.
