United Malacca Berhad


Our Story

Who We Are

United Malacca Berhad (UMB), formerly known as The United Malacca Rubber Estates, Berhad was incorporated on 27 April 1910 under the Companies Ordinance 1889 by its founder, the late Tun Tan Cheng Lock who held the post of Chairman until 1960.

Thereafter, the Company was managed by his family until his son, the late Tun Tan Siew Sin took over the Chairmanship in 1974 after his retirement from the Cabinet. He held the post of Chairman until 1988. Under the distinguished leadership of Tun Tan Siew Sin, the former Minister of Finance, UMB had accumulated substantial reserves which contributed significantly to the financial strength of the Group today. The late Tun Tan Siew Sin was posthumously awarded the National Integrity Award by The Kuala Lumpur Society for Transparency and Integrity on 28 June 2003.
