Today we opened the doors on new premises in Malaysia, expanding our regional operational capabilities and adding nearly a hundred jobs to the local tech scene in Kuala Lumpur. Since our initial opening in 2017, Side Kuala Lumpur has been instrumental to our all-up growth strategy for Asia. Day-to-day operations for the new office will continue to be managed by Haikal Lim Abdullah, Side Country Manager for Malaysia and Singapore.

“Our expansion and growth in a key market like Malaysia is great for Side and more importantly, great for our clients,” said Deborah Kirkham, Chief Executive Officer of Side. “I want to thank my team and our partners at the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation for their continued support of our business – with more resources at our disposal, Side Kuala Lumpur can better assist local studios and help grow the Malaysian gaming industry on a global scale.”

Established in 1996, the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) is a government​ agency tasked with driving the Malaysian digital economy through catalytic high-impact initiatives, strategic and sustainable investments, and inclusive policies.
