William Tan has been a director of the Company since 1999. He has been involved in the granite quarrying and road construction industry since venturing into the business in 1987. His experience and vast knowledge in the road industry, especially in the granite quarrying and production of asphaltic concrete, is a valuable contributing factor to PKM in undertaking the NQR Concession Project.
It is both hard work and determination that has determined the success of Pembinaan Kekal Mewah Sdn Bhd.
The tremendous pride of this success is shared with many who had and have played important roles to shape up Pembinaan Kekal Mewah Sdn Bhd, in this challenging business world, as it is today.
Pembinaan Kekal Mewah Sdn Bhd has not only continued to focus on construction of roads and buildings as its initial main activity but has also diversified its expertise and professionalism into hospitality industry, plantations, palm oil milling, concrete ready mix production and property.
With these added efforts, Pembinaan Kekal Mewah and associates continue to pledge its commitment to strive for the best to serve and to achieve greater and yet newfound successes.
My endless appreciation and gratitude to staff, clients and associates for the available valued support. Let us, together continue to proceed to grow for our mutual benefits.
