In the same year, CHIONG & PARTNERS expanded its footprint with the establishment of the Selangor Office, strengthening its regional presence and accessibility.
To serve clients more effectively in Malaysia’s central region and to meet growing client demand, CHIONG & PARTNERS opened its Kuala Lumpur branch office.
