ASM Global brings its vast industry experience in redefining the guest journey, implementing the latest technology, elevating F&B offerings, and the advantage of a regionally based team together with its commercial venue know-how, wide ranging event network and technical capabilities.

ASM Global President and CEO Ron Bension said, “We’re on a robust growth curve in this part of the world. The Kuala Lumpur Sports City precinct is representative of the types of projects we’re championing that significantly enrich the venue benefits and utilize our vast international expertise and best practices.”

Chairman and Chief Executive of ASM Global Asia Pacific and Gulf Region Harvey Lister AM said the group was delighted to be partnering with the management team at the iconic Kuala Lumpur Sports City in a joint endeavor to further establish the precinct as a vibrant community and event hub for the people of Malaysia.

“We firmly believe the Malaysia National Stadium and the Axiata Arena have the potential expressed by the Malaysia Sports Ministry, and we are proud to welcome the local teams and venues into our network of venues and support the precinct in helping deliver more events for the people of Malaysia and the region,” said Lister.

ASM Global will partner with local Malaysian company Sportswork Sdn Bhd in delivering services for Kuala Lumpur Sports City.

Malaysia Sports Minister, Y.B. Dato’ Seri Ahmad Faizal bin Dato’ Azumu, said, “We see this MOU as a great opportunity for PSM and ASM Global to enhance Kuala Lumpur Sports City to a premier destination in the global sports and event industry. Both National Stadium Bukit Jalil and Axiata Arena are iconic properties owned by the Malaysian people, and we owe them a responsibility to ensure these venues make us proud.”

Plasma One Launches to Herald a New Era of Stablecoin Banking19.6.2026 14:29:00 CEST | Press release

Plasma has today announced the launch of Plasma One, its flagship financial product designed to make digital dollars usable for everyday spending, sending and earning.
