ABP Group Invests in Malaysia to Strengthen Regional Cyber Defense and Talent Development
Expansion to support regional service delivery, technical operations and growth of local cybersecurity talent pool.
ABP Group, Asia’s leading cybersecurity provider, has strengthened its presence in Malaysia with the launch of a new office in KL Eco City, strategically located opposite Mid Valley City. This milestone builds on six years of established operations in the country and supports the Group’s long-term strategy to expand its capabilities across Southeast Asia.
The newly launched Kuala Lumpur office features a modern and spacious environment designed to support a growing team of cybersecurity experts. It includes infrastructure upgrades to support regional delivery, technical collaboration, and talent development.
“This expansion allows us to build greater delivery capacity, deepen client engagement, and respond more quickly to emerging threats in the region. As demand for cybersecurity solutions increases, our presence in Malaysia ensures we remain close to our clients and equipped to support their needs,” said Sun Yi, Group Chief Executive Officer of ABP Group.
The Malaysian expansion complements ABP Group’s regional footprint, with the new office serving as a base for project execution, technical support, and training initiatives. Malaysia plays a central role in ABP Group's broader regional roadmap for Southeast Asia. ABP Group’s continued investment reflects a deep belief in Malaysia’s emergence as a cybersecurity leader for the region.
“This expansion brings us closer to a more unified cybersecurity ecosystem across Southeast Asia, starting with Singapore and Malaysia, working in sync through shared infrastructure, shared talent, and a common standard of resilience,” Sun explained.
Cybersecurity risks in Southeast Asia have intensified as digital adoption accelerates. According to Kaspersky Cybersecurity Report for Malaysia (1H2024), Malaysia recorded 19.62 million web-based attacks in the first half of 2024, the highest in the region.
ABP Group’s capability is delivered through three specialised business units to offer end-to-end cybersecurity coverage across Southeast Asia. The first pillar, Sunnic, leads technology innovation and research and development (R&D), while ABP Cyber provides tailored cybersecurity solutions, and ABP Securite drives value-added distribution through its growing partner ecosystem. These units work together to deliver regional impact with local precision.
The KL Eco City office will serve as ABP Group’s hub for client engagement, technical collaboration and local talent development.
“This is more than a physical expansion. It is about reinforcing the infrastructure needed to deliver cybersecurity at scale. As Malaysia moves deeper into a digital-first future, the need for trusted cybersecurity partners will only grow. ABP Group sees this as a long game, one that demands not just technical capability but long-term thinking, shared responsibility, and local leadership,” Sun added.

“Loacker’s 100th anniversary is not just a celebration of our past, but a reaffirmation of our promise to deliver pure goodness for generations to come.

Brilliant Elevator (BLT) and Dong Yang Team Up to Launch Malaysian Brand, Pioneering a New ASEAN Market Blueprint
“Malaysia Set to Become ASEAN Hub – Yuanda Group and Dong Yang to Co-Create a New Elevator Industry Ecosystem”
Shenyang Yuanda Intelligent Industrial Group’s flagship brand, Brilliant Elevator Co., Ltd. (BLT), recently held a grand Malaysia Brand Launch Event at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Shah Alam, Selangor. In collaboration with its local partner, Dong Yang Elevator (M) Sdn Bhd, the event marks a strategic milestone in the group's ASEAN expansion efforts.
Over 200 professionals and representatives from government, construction, development, engineering, and maintenance sectors attended the launch, bearing witness to a significant moment in BLT’s journey towards smart manufacturing and global expansion.
Strategic ASEAN Positioning: Malaysia as a Regional Hub
In his speech, Mr. Liu Ruisheng, General Manager of International Sales at Brilliant Elevator, said: “Malaysia, where we have cultivated our presence for 18 years, is entering a key phase in our strategic upgrade. We plan to establish a regional logistics center here, leveraging its geographic and industrial strengths to serve the Southeast Asian market and accelerate our global brand development.”
In recent years, BLT’s export performance has grown steadily, with exports surpassing RMB 580 million in 2024, reaching more than 140 countries and regions worldwide—ranking among the top Chinese elevator exporters for consecutive years.
Additionally, the successful operation of Yuanda Group’s joint venture factory in Saudi Arabia has become a benchmark for high-end smart manufacturing. In 2025, the group will launch its assembly plant in the Americas, aiming to build a global platform for smart, digital, and green vertical transportation solutions, with Saudi Arabia and Malaysia as dual engines of this strategy.
Dong Yang CEO Yeow Ewe Hor : Building Smart, Sustainable Cities Together
Mr. Yeow Ewe Hor, CEO of Dong Yang Elevator, emphasized the collaborative potential and future of Malaysia’s building and construction ecosystem: “We gather here today as the driving force behind Malaysia’s urban progress—the visionaries who turn blueprints into communities and dreams into national landmarks.”
He pointed out that Malaysia’s vertical transportation industry is at a turning point toward safer, greener, and smarter systems, urging the industry to respond to three core challenges:
“Since 2008, Dong Yang has worked hand in hand with BLT, selling over 400 elevators and maintaining more than 1,300 units locally. We’ve actively implemented global standards, green technologies, and intelligent maintenance systems. Moving forward, we’ll continue collaborating closely with JKR, JKKP, and other government bodies to shape the future of intelligent vertical mobility in Malaysia.”
He also paid tribute to the developers, architects, and consultants in attendance, praising their innovation and commitment:
“Every time someone steps into an elevator, they’re experiencing the collective wisdom of our entire value chain. Let’s move forward together, building a smarter, safer, more sustainable, and inclusive future for Malaysia’s vertical development.”
Strategic Upgrade: Regional Logistics and Smart Services Center in Malaysia
At the event, Yuanda Group officially announced plans to establish a Southeast Asian regional logistics and smart service center in Malaysia. This center will integrate warehouse logistics, parts distribution, intelligent maintenance, remote monitoring, and customer service, enhancing response times and regional coordination.
The group also plans to launch local assembly operations and talent development programs, moving from an “equipment supplier” model toward becoming a smart building solutions provider. This dual-driver approach—local service + international quality—will lead the group’s next phase of sustainable development.
Accelerating Global Brand Momentum Under the Belt and Road Initiative
The 2025 BLT Global Brand Tour has already launched in Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico. The Malaysia stop represents a key moment in this international journey, deepening regional partnerships and reinforcing the voice of “Made in China, Powered by Intelligence.”
“Globalization is not only about product exports. It’s about exporting systems of brand, technology, and management. Malaysia will be our bridgehead into ASEAN, and our collaboration with Dong Yang will take us from deeply rooted to regionally leading.”
With rapid global infrastructure development and the rise of smart, green cities, BLT remains committed to delivering efficient, reliable, and aesthetically advanced vertical mobility solutions for clients around the world.

New SMA Foundation Offers Hope and Support to Children Living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy
In a powerful story of hope, resilience and collective compassion, five-year-old Reese Tan Rui Xin fondly known as Baby Reese has successfully received RM9 million in lifesaving gene therapy for Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 (SMA Type 2), thanks to nationwide support and the dedicated efforts of several charitable organizations and creative agencies.
Diagnosed in September 2022, Baby Reese suffered severe muscle weakness due to SMA, a rare and often fatal genetic disorder. At the time, she was unable to crawl, stand or walk and needed respiratory assistance to eat and breathe, conditions that placed her life at critical risk.
Under urgent medical advice to administer the Zolgensma gene therapy before the age of two, her family turned to One Hope Charity and Welfare for help. Together with Unicorn Media and Hexarus Creative Agency, an ambitious nationwide fundraising campaign was launched and the nation responded. Through a wave of public generosity and strategic storytelling, the RM9 million goal was achieved, enabling Baby Reese to undergo treatment at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC).
Today, Baby Reese is in stable and satisfactory condition, with encouraging medical results marking a major milestone in her recovery.
Foundation Launch and Awareness Mission
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is the leading genetic cause of infant mortality and a rare, inherited neuromuscular disorder that affects muscle strength and movement¹ Globally, SMA occurs in approximately 1 in 10,000 live births, with birth prevalence rates varying from 1 in 6,000 to 1 in 16,000 depending on region.²
In Malaysia, although comprehensive national registries are lacking, the estimated incidence is around 1 per 20,000 live births (roughly 4.9 per 100,000), translating to 20 to 30 new cases annually.³ A local study projects that about 50 infants are born with SMA each year based on Malaysia’s annual birth population.⁴
SMA is still a little-known disease in Malaysia, impacting newborns to adolescence. Many parents are clueless how to manage this disease which is on the rise in the country.
Building on the momentum of Baby Reese’s case, Baby Reese’s mother will establish a dedicated SMA Foundation next year to raise greater awareness of SMA and support more children affected by this rare disease. The foundation aims to provide financial assistance, educational resources, and promote pre-pregnancy genetic screening to help families detect genetic risks early.
“Nothing prepares a parent for hearing that your child may not survive without a treatment you can’t afford. I am forever grateful to everyone who prayed, donated and stood with us. Reese is alive today because of you all. Now, we want to help other families walk this path with hope, not fear,” said Rachel Chung, Baby Reese’s mother.
“There are still many public misperceptions surrounding SMA, including its causes, symptoms and how families can manage the condition. Traditionally, there was no cure or hope for children diagnosed with SMA, and families had to rely entirely on supportive care to manage the symptoms,” said Professor Dr. Thong Meow Keong, UMMC’s leading geneticist and paediatrician.
“Medical advancements have offered new hope in the fight against SMA. Zolgensma is a breakthrough treatment, but timing is everything. Zolgensma is a one-time gene therapy used to treat Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic disorder that affects muscle strength and movement. Zolgensma works by replacing the missing or faulty gene (called SMN1) that causes SMA, helping the body produce the protein needed for muscle control and movement,” explained Professor Dr. Thong Meow Keong. The earlier a child receives it, the better the outcomes. We urge all parents planning a family to undergo pre-pregnancy genetic screening. Early detection saves lives and Baby Reese is living proof.”
