April 24, 2025 – KQ GEO TECHNOLOGIES successfully hosted a specialized training session on the KQGIS platform at Malaysia’s National Geospatial Centre (PGN). The event was made possible through the strong support and close collaboration with our local Malaysian partner, Skyshine Corporation (M) Sdn. Bhd.

Key participants included PGN Manager En. Nor’hisham bin Othman, Deputy Manager Nur Fazreena binti Razali, and Skyshine Corporation Project Manager Sr. Gs. Ahmad Tarmizi. Representing KQ GEO TECHNOLOGIES were Faris Shahlan, GIS Technology Lead of our Malaysian subsidiary, and Lau Wee Lik, Regional Manager for Southeast Asia. During the training, Faris demonstrated the operational capabilities of KQGIS platform, highlighting its robust data processing features for practical cross-industry applications.

The PGN team showed particular interest in the platform’s automated data processing capabilities, enterprise-grade GIS deployment solutions, and high-performance cloud architecture. Both parties have agreed to explore deeper collaboration opportunities to support Malaysia’s national geospatial development initiatives.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Skyshine Corporation for their professional coordination and invaluable support in making this training possible. KQ GEO TECHNOLOGIES remains committed to delivering innovative technologies and services to the region’s growing geospatial community.

On February 28, 2025, the inaugural phase of the Change Management Plan by JUPEM (Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia) was successfully held at the Alamanda Hall of Dorsett Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The conference aimed to advance the nationwide adoption of the NaSUM Project, ensuring a more systematic and efficient management system for Malaysia’s underground utilities.

Attendees included key stakeholders such as Dato’ LSr Hazri, Director General of Survey and Mapping Malaysia; state directors of surveying and mapping; LSr Powzy, Head of Utility Mapping Division; senior officials from various JUPEM departments; Tarmizi, General Manager of Asia Geomatik Instrument Sdn Bhd, and Hamdan, Project Director; as well as An Ke, International Business Director of KQ GEO, and Faris, GIS Lead. The high-level participation underscored Malaysia’s strong commitment to the NaSUM initiative.

This milestone event not only strengthened cross-sector collaboration but also reinforced JUPEM’s pivotal role in advancing geospatial and underground utility management. With the steady progress of NaSUM and continuous upgrades to Malaysia’s national utility mapping system, JUPEM is poised to enhance its support for critical national programs like PADU, contributing significantly to the country’s development vision.

The success of this conference marks a decisive step forward in modernizing Malaysia’s national surveying framework while laying a solid foundation for NaSUM’s implementation. Furthermore, it has set a clear roadmap for future reforms, ensuring efficient, data-driven planning that will benefit nationwide underground infrastructure management and deliver tangible value to the Malaysian people.

On December 18, 2024, the user system training for the fourth phase of the SISMAPS portal project in Malaysia was successfully completed in Kuala Lumpur.

A total of 13 participants took part in this training, including 11 key users from PLANMalaysia Selangor, along with Faris Shanlan and Sarah Syafiqah from KQ GEO TECHNOLOGIES’ Malaysia branch office. The training covered various aspects of the SISMAPS system, from basic to advanced operations, detailed explanations of new features introduced in Phase 4, hands-on system operation exercises, and Q&A sessions. By combining system demonstrations with practical exercises, the training ensured that every participant could proficiently navigate and utilize the system, laying a solid foundation for its broader application.

Built upon the KQGIS Platform, the SISMAPS system has become a pivotal information technology platform for PLANMalaysia Selangor. The successful implementation of the fourth phase not only strengthens and enhances previous achievements but also marks a significant step forward in the digitization and informatization of PLANMalaysia Selangor. This training signifies that the SISMAPS platform will now serve a wider range of users with enhanced functionality and a more user-friendly interface, supporting the advancement of urban planning and development in Selangor.

Moving forward, we will continue to collaborate with PLANMalaysia Selangor and other stakeholders to explore and implement innovative solutions while continuously optimizing the SISMAPS portal system. Our goal is to further contribute to the digital transformation of Selangor and Malaysia as a whole.
