Naim completes installation of steel roof trusses for Wisma Melayu Sarawak
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.
