YTL Museum

YTL Group has unveiled the YTL Museum at the Yeoh family’s original home in Kuala Selangor, marking both the culmination of the Group’s 70th anniversary and the launch of a new annual tradition known as YTL Founders’ Day.

The unveiling took place on 18 December 2025, the birthday of YTL founder Tan Sri Yeoh Tiong Lay, and serves as a moment to reflect on where the Group began—and how its founding values continue to shape its future. What started in 1955 as a small construction firm has since grown into a global infrastructure group, and the museum preserves the physical space where that journey first took root.

Rather than a static exhibition, the YTL Museum is designed as a living museum, connecting past, present, and future generations through shared purpose. The restored Yeoh family home has been thoughtfully reimagined to tell YTL’s story through multimedia displays, photographs, and memorabilia, all organised around the Group’s five core values: Honesty, Hard Work, Moral Responsibility, Togetherness, and Vitality.

History Grounds

“The YTL Museum stands on the very ground where my late father grew up, and it reflects the principles that shaped both our family and the Group,” said Tan Sri (Sir) Francis Yeoh, Executive Chairman of YTL Group of Companies. “Even for those who never met him, his beliefs continue to live on through the way our people work, serve, and support one another.”

The opening of the museum also coincides with the introduction of YTL Founders’ Day, observed annually on 18 December. The day is intended as a moment of remembrance as well as a reminder of the responsibility that comes with long-term success—particularly the importance of giving back to the communities YTL operates in.

In conjunction with Founders’ Day 2025, YTL businesses across Malaysia and the region carried out coordinated community initiatives focused on education, environmental sustainability, social inclusion, and community care. Together, these efforts saw RM1.4 million invested, benefiting more than 2,100 families, mobilising 520 employees, and contributing over 5,000 volunteer hours. The initiatives also resulted in more than 105,000 kilograms of recycled waste.

As YTL looks ahead Beyond 70, the YTL Museum stands as a place not just to remember what was built, but to understand how—and why—it was built, and what it means for the generations to come.
