The congress will be held at The Federal Kuala Lumpur, truly Malaysia’s first international-class hotel, located strategically in the heart of the Central Business District

Federal Hotel, regarded as Malaysia’s first international class hotel, opened on 28 August 1957 to welcome VIPs, foreign dignitaries and diplomats who arrived in Kuala Lumpur to bear witness to Malaya celebrating her independence three days later on 31 August 1957.

Its opening was officiated by the late Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj , Malaysia’s very first Prime Minister, who later took centre stage in declaring independence for Malaysia.
