KPMG Kuching relocates office

KUCHING: As part of KPMG’s 2017 aspiration plans, KPMG Kuching office has shifted to a new office in an up- and- coming location where a new business park is being planned.

The new office located at Level 2, Lee Onn Building at Jalan Lapangan Terbang has the capacity to accommodate 180 employees, in view of future talent hires.

With its open-plan concept complete with standing desks, informal open spaces, vibrant colours and facilities like the Chill Cove pantry and Cube for staff to relax, the firm is committed to ensuring that its staff are healthier, happier and able to increase and boost productivity as the innovative concept enables staff to work seamlessly around the office.

“As Malaysia continues on its journey towards becoming a highincome and knowledge- based economy by 2020, KPMG continues to progress up the value chain as the country becomes more serviceoriented in line with the structure of most high-income nations.

“KPMG Kuching’s new office will provide us with a more conducive working environment for our people to service our clients better.

“The new location also provides better access to clients in terms of traffic flow and has ample parking spaces for clients and staff,” said Datuk Johan Idris, managing partner of KPMG in Malaysia.

“The economic landscape in East Malaysia including Kuching has grown tremendously over the years - conducive business environment, well- developed infrastructure and a talented pool of resources.

“Continuing our plans to increase our talent base from the millennial generation and with KPMG’s broad suite of services, we will be able to address the growing business and investment opportunities in East Malaysia,” Regina Lau, partner of KPMG in Malaysia added.

The official opening ceremony of KPMG Kuching’s new office will be held on April 7 by KPMG Malaysia EXCO partners with Lee Hean Kok, East Malaysia regional partner and KPMG Sarawak partners, Lau and Nicholas Chia.
