What TDM does

TDM Berhad is a Malaysian public-listed company (Bursa Malaysia: TDM; registration 196501000477) founded in 1965 and headquartered in Kuala Terengganu, with a corporate office in Kuala Lumpur. It is a Government-Linked Company under Terengganu Inc, controlled substantially by the Terengganu state government through MAIDAM. The group operates two core divisions: a Plantation Division (TDM Plantation Sdn. Bhd.) and a Healthcare Division (Kumpulan Medic Iman Sdn. Bhd., branded KMI Healthcare).

The Plantation Division manages 13 oil palm estates, two palm oil mills, two Bio-Composting plants, and two biogas plants in Terengganu. It produces Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) and Certified Sustainable Palm Kernel (CSPK) under stacked RSPO, MSPO, and ISCC EU certifications, and monetizes palm-oil by-products (EFB, POME, sludge) as organic fertilizer and renewable biogas. Differentiated sustainability credentials (100% RSPO since 2013, first ISCC EU in Terengganu in 2021, first Malaysian GLC with 100% MSPO in 2022) underpin access to premium and EU-regulated markets.

The Healthcare Division operates five community specialist hospitals — KMI Kuala Terengganu, KMI Kuantan, KMI Taman Desa, KMI Kelana Jaya, and KMI Tawau — providing secondary healthcare at affordable pricing. KMI Kuala Terengganu operates a Catheterisation Laboratory, the first private facility in Terengganu offering interventional cardiology. KMI Healthcare has additionally launched homecare services and runs nationally recognized blood-donation campaigns with the Ministry of Health Malaysia. The group's business model combines B2B commodity sales of certified palm products to refiners and manufacturers with B2C fee-for-service healthcare delivery, supplemented by community engagement, CSR programs across all eight Terengganu districts, and government-linked strategic positioning.
