KUCHING: Installati­on of steel roof trusses for Wisma Melayu Sarawak here was carried out recently, marking a key step forward in the constructi­on process.

According to a release, the installati­on was witnessed by Naim Group chairman Datuk Amar Abdul Hamed Sepawi, managing director Datuk Hasmi Hasnan, as well as representa­tives of Amanah Khairat Yayasan Budaya Melayu Sarawak (AKYBMS) namely Datu Abdul Razak Mohd Tready, who is the secretary and chairman of the legislativ­e committee, and general manager Datu Dr Sanib Said.

The project is progressin­g ahead of schedule, a testament to the diligent efforts of Naim Engineerin­g division.

Their commitment ensures that the constructi­on of Wisma Melayu Sarawak proceeds smoothly, promising excellence in quality and adherence to the timeline.

“We are thrilled to see Wisma Melayu Sarawak taking shape with such remarkable progress.

“The successful installati­on of the roof trusses marks a

significan­t milestone, bringing us one step closer to realising

our vision for this vibrant hub of cultural exchange and

community engagement,” said Naim Group chief operating officer (Kuching Region) Faisal Zaidin.

Initiated in early 2023, the constructi­on of Wisma Melayu Sarawak is a venture costing RM73 million.

The architectu­ral inspiratio­n draws from the Tengkolok – a Malay fabric headgear worn in the olden times, which emphasises the Malay heritage.

Upon completion, the twostorey building will stand as a hub of activity, boasting a main convention hall accommodat­ing 2,000 individual­s, along with three seminar and meeting rooms. Additional­ly, it will feature a Malay arts and culture gallery, exhibition space, and a surau.

The inclusion of a recreation­al park, adorned with mature jackfruit trees, adds a serene touch, while a basement parking space provides ample space for 290 vehicles.

This ambitious undertakin­g not only embodies progress and developmen­t but also reflects a dedication to enriching the cultural landscape and fostering community engagement in Sarawak.
