Harum Megah Resources

What Harum Megah Resources does

Harum Megah Resources Sdn. Bhd. is a Malaysian private company headquartered in Johor Bahru that operates foreign-worker manpower management services alongside a network of worker dormitories in the state of Johor. Founded in 2007, the company runs six dormitories totaling 659 accommodation units and targets B2B customers — principally employers in Malaysia and Singapore that source foreign labour for manufacturing, construction, and related sectors in the JB-ISKANDAR corridor.

The operating stack combines two complementary lines: (1) dormitory operations under the proprietary "Eco Dormitory" concept, positioned around environmental and worker-welfare attributes, and (2) foreign-manpower outsourcing services covering work-pass administration and ongoing workforce management. The facilities are RBA Code of Conduct-conformant and JTK-certified, which are baseline credentials for serving multinational supply chains and Malaysian labour-regulated employment.

The business model is B2B and quote-based, monetizing through per-worker fees for manpower outsourcing and per-bed/per-unit fees for dormitory occupancy. The company operates with a very lean corporate team (reported at 1–10 employees), consistent with an asset-light management layer over physical dormitory capacity. Following its acquisition by Westlite Accommodation — the Malaysian PBWA arm of Singapore-listed Centurion Corp — the Harum Megah operating identity has been folded into the Westlite brand, situating the Johor footprint inside a regional purpose-built worker accommodation platform.
