The networking opportunities were fantastic. I met HR managers, admin executives, and business leaders from different industries while learning current updates from Malaysia authorities. Professional, informative, and impactful.
Ms Eunice Yang : Business Owner | Suinam Furniture Sdn Bhd, Muar
As a business owner, I found FORUM KHAS highly beneficial. Instead of theory, the programme focused on real employer risks, legal responsibilities, and best practices. Worth every minute of attendance. Thank You Dr Adeva.
Ms Murni Manap : HR Manager | Setia Tropika Dev Berhad. Kuala Lumpur
FORUM KHAS gave me confidence to handle payroll, statutory deductions, disciplinary matters, and documentation better. The Q&A sessions were extremely valuable because the answers were practical and direct. 2 Days is too short
Mr Jason Ooi : Director ; Nirwana Group Sdn Bhd, Kuala Lumpur
The event was very well organised from registration until closing. The trainers explained complex compliance matters in a simple and professional way. It saved us from many possible company mistakes. I hope next year better hotel and better food please.

Excellent programme with knowledgeable speakers and relevant case studies. I especially appreciated the Industrial Relations and Employment Act updates. Every HR practitioner should attend FORUM KHAS at least once. Q&A Session was good. 10/10.

FORUM KHAS was one of the most practical seminars I have attended this year. The sessions on JTK, LHDN, KWSP, PERKESO, and labour compliance were very clear and updated. I returned to office with real solutions. Love the Industrail Law session with Speaker Dr Adeva.
