Ict Zone Asia Berhad (Malaysia)

The Company was incorporated on 28 January 2019. ICT solutions provider based in Malaysia. They rent, lease and trade ICT solutions to privaye corporations, as well as their Channel Partners and Strategic Partners for their onward rental, lease or sale of ICT solutions to their customers in the government associations and private corporations. Further, they also provide maintenance and technical support services to their customers to support the use of the ICT solutions. The company history can be traced back to 2000, when the Managing Director and CEO of the company, Lim Kok Kwang and the Non-Independent Non Executive Chairman of the company, Datuk Ng Thien Phing incorporated ICT Zone Holding (then known as NTP World Marketing Sdn Bhd). At that time, ICT Zone Holding was involved in the trading of audio-visual equipment to private corporations.
ICT Zone was subsequently incorporated in 2001 by Datuk Ng Thien Phing and another shareholder, Hoo Geok Choong (who is no longer a shareholder of ICT Zone since 2006). ICT Zone remained dormant until 2003, when Lim Kok Kwang and ICT Zone Holding became shareholders. ICT Zone commenced its business in the trading and short-term rental of ICT hardware (such as computers, laptops, printers, projectors and related peripheral devices) and software (such as
operating system and application software). Our customers at that time were mostly private corporations and retail consumers.
In 2004, the company began to secure sales from their Channel Partners for their onward sale or rental to end-user customers in the government sector. They secured our first order from Starza Corporation Sdn Bhd, a Channel Partner to the end-user customer in the government sector in 2004. Later, they secured sales from other Channel Partners in subsequent years. Since then, the company began to focus on expanding their customer base of private corporations and Channel Partners, and ceased selling to retail consumers. As volume from our trading of ICT solutions segment grew, the company were recognised as an Appointed Reseller by one of the Principals (whom we obtain our supplies of ICT hardware), Hewlett-Packard (M) Sdn Bhd, in 2009.
Realising the opportunities in the ICT solution long-term rental business, the company began to venture into long-term rental of ICT solutions. In order to facilitate this, ICT Zone Ventures was incorporated to establish, manage and operate ICT Zone Ventures Scheme in 2010. The ICT Zone Ventures Scheme provided the capital to finance and support our long-term rental of ICT solutions business. In the same year, some of their Channel Partners, namely Starza Corporation Sdn Bhd, Juricco Holding Sdn Bhd (then known as Belia Wawasan Holding Sdn Bhd) and Haynik Holding Sdn Bhd (then known as Haynik Mobile Venture Sdn Bhd), became the company Strategic Partners when the company signed strategic partnership agreements with them to provide the company with the exclusive rights to finance, supply and deliver ICT solutions to end-user customers in the government sector.
To facilitate the company Proposed Listing, they set up ICT Zone Asia in 2019 to consolidate their business under the ICT Zone Asia Group. ICT Zone, ICT Zone Ventures and Techfin Capital (currently a dormant company) were acquired on 22 November 2019. In February 2020, the Company launched their e-commerce platform, www.komputermurah.my, to expand their customer base to include retail consumers and third-party resellers.
