These agreements were made with G Car Manufacturers Sdn Bhd, Perdana Petroleum Berhad, and Kayuh Industries Sdn Bhd during BuildXpo Malaysia 2024.
The partnerships, spearheaded by UniKL’s Gombak-based UniKL British Malaysia Institute (UniKL BMI), focus on collaborative efforts across renewable technology and sustainable agriculture.

“With G Car Manufacturers, we will collaborate on professional certifications in renewable technologies such as hydrogen as well as electric and electronics (E&E).
“Perdana Petroleum, with its 15 operational fleets in Miri, Kemaman, and Labuan, is also collaborating with us, offering our students hands-on experience as they train to become certified seafarers,” said Prof. Ir. Dr. Azman after the signing.
