ECCAZ is a Kuala Lumpur based private investment holding company with business interests in property development and urban transportation. It might be a relatively new business in town but its credentials and heritage are certainly vintage! We have more than 55 years of track record in construction, infrastructure and property development. ECCAZ is born out of the distinguished construction and property developer, Ireka, founded by Datuk Lai Siew Wah in 1967. Ireka was listed on Bursa Malaysia in 1993. Some of Ireka’s iconic credentials in over five decades of operation in the construction business, include the MRT V7 rail line, the Kuala Lumpur International Airport runway, Kuala Lumpur Middle-Ring Road II, North-South Expressway, Putrajaya Government Administrative Offices, DiGi Corporate Office (D’House), Technology Park Malaysia, The Westin Kuala Lumpur, The Aloft Sentral Hotel, OCBC Head Office and Wisma AIG, The RuMa Hotel and Residences and the i-ZEN property collection. Datuk Lai Siew Wah and his family sold their stakes in Ireka in mid-2021 which eventually led to the setting up of ECCAZ by the family, with two of its lead directors, Monica Lai Voon Huey and Chan Chee Kian at its helm. Monica and Chee Kian bring with them a wealth of leadership, business and operational expertise and experience to ECCAZ. The word “Eccaz” is derived from the root Latin word of “ecce” which means “behold”. In English, the word “behold” means “to perceive through sight or apprehension”, or “to gaze upon”, usually at something that is remarkable and out-of-the-ordinary. Its meaning transcends that of “look,” “see,” “notice,” or other synonyms that we might compare it to. Eccaz Sdn. Bhd. (ECCAZ) was founded during the depths of a crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and signifies a new beginning of looking towards the future, where humanity triumphs over adversity. Whilst we are excited to announce the formation of ECCAZ, its name is not a call to behold our arrival, but rather an invitation to behold the future, and to gaze upon the remarkable world that we can build together, going forward.
