Pacific Senior Living’s Malaysian Entry And Ambitions Ahead

By 2030, Malaysia is expected to transition into an ageing society, with individuals above age 60 and older to make up 15% of the population - Pacific Senior Living aims to address this market need and the evolving needs of the growing senior population.

The company is part of the Columbia Pacific Management Group, a global investor, developer, and operator of modern healthcare and senior living facilities, and with over 40 years of experience in the space, Pacific, and along with its affiliates, have built and managed hundreds of senior living and other healthcare assets globally.

Marking their entry into Malaysia, in November 2023, they opened up their first high class senior living facility here, repurposing the former four-star Merrida Hotel building in Klang, which ceased operations during the movement control order period.

Three months post-opening, we speak to Dr. Ramnan Jeyasingam, Interim CEO and Director of Health Services at Pacific Senior Living Sdn Bhd about their plans and ambitions for the Malaysian market.
