KUALA LUMPUR (March 2) — Glomac Bhd has announced the retirement of its chief operating officer (operations), Zulkifly Garib, effective Feb 27, bringing to a close more than six years of leadership within the group.
Zulkifly joined Glomac in October 2019 and played a pivotal role in overseeing the operational and technical execution of the company’s development portfolio. His responsibilities covered project implementation, construction oversight and performance optimisation across multiple townships and mixed-use developments, many of which contribute to the broader commercial property landscape in KL and Selangor.
Throughout his tenure, he was instrumental in strengthening delivery standards — an increasingly critical factor as demand continues to evolve for quality office space in Bukit Jalil, commercial property in KL, and integrated developments that support business expansion across key growth corridors.
Strong Engineering and Industry Background
A civil engineering graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Zulkifly is affiliated with the Chartered Institute of Highways & Transportation (UK) and is registered with both the Board of Engineers Malaysia and the Institution of Engineers Malaysia.
His career began in engineering consultancy before moving into infrastructure and corporate roles at PLUS Bhd and UMW Corp Bhd. He subsequently held senior management positions at Land & General Bhd and Tropicana Corp Bhd, before leading township operations at UDA Holdings Bhd.
In 2006, he was appointed director of operations at United Malayan Land Bhd, and prior to joining Glomac, he served as project director at UEM Sunrise Bhd — one of Malaysia’s prominent township developers.
Active Role in Selangor’s Property Ecosystem
Beyond corporate leadership, Zulkifly contributed significantly to industry advocacy and housing policy. He served as vice-president of Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association Malaysia (Rehda Malaysia) from 2018 to 2022, and chaired Rehda Selangor from 2016 to 2020. He was also a board member of the Selangor Housing & Property Board (LPHS) from 2016 to 2022.
His involvement at state level aligns closely with ongoing development momentum across Selangor — particularly in high-demand zones where industrial land in Selangor, factory in Puchong, and industrial property in Subang area continue to attract logistics, manufacturing and SME operators seeking strategic locations near Kuala Lumpur.
Looking Ahead
Glomac’s board and management expressed appreciation for Zulkifly’s dedication and leadership, acknowledging his contributions in strengthening operational frameworks during a dynamic phase for Malaysia’s property market.
As KL and Selangor remain core growth regions — spanning residential townships, office space in Bukit Jalil, and expanding industrial land in Selangor — leadership transitions at established developers such as Glomac are closely watched by investors and stakeholders within the commercial property in KL ecosystem.
