Bangi, 6 February 2025 – DORMS Central Living Sdn Bhd proudly announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH). This significant collaboration aims to enhance the standards of Centralised Labour Quarters (CLQs) in Malaysia, with a focus on ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of workers nationwide.
The MoU was signed by Dato’ Haji Ayop Salleh, Executive Director of NIOSH, and witnessed by Mejar Haji Hanif Maidin (B), Executive Secretary of NIOSH, signifying a unified commitment towards developing safer and more sustainable living conditions for workers. As the first private agency entrusted to act as a reference expert in professional accommodation, DORMS Central Living leverages its industry expertise, established since 2011, to create world-class guidelines and frameworks.
DORMS had the honour of visiting NIOSH’s adopted village, Kampung Panchitan in Negeri Sembilan, prior to the formal signing of this MoU. This pre-signing collaboration reflects the trust and mutual dedication between the two organisations.
Mr. Sri Velan, DORMS Director stated, “This partnership is an important milestone as we seek to ensure that Malaysia not only leads the region in workers’ accommodation standards but does so in a way that genuinely improves workers’ lives.”
DORMS Central Living looks forward to collaborative efforts such as developing innovative initiatives, introducing specialised training programs, and integrating advanced technologies into the management of CLQs. Together, DORMS and NIOSH are setting a foundation that prioritises the health, safety, and holistic well-being of Malaysia’s workforce.
Through this strategic partnership, Malaysia is set to become a regional benchmark for workers’ accommodations that prioritise safety, sustainability, and innovation.
