KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 5): Daniel Ma (pictured) has been appointed managing director of Nawawi Tie, effective Jan 1, 2026, succeeding Eddy Wong, who served in the role since 2012.
Ma joined Nawawi Tie in 2012 as associate director and head of valuation, where he led the department through a period of significant expansion in corporate and bank mortgage valuations, according to a press statement issued Monday.
Bringing with him more than 28 years of experience in the property and real estate industry, Ma handled major corporate transactions and IPO listings for Nawawi Tie’s clients on Bursa Malaysia, the Securities Commission Malaysia, and stock exchanges in Hong Kong and Singapore.
In his new role, Ma will provide strategic leadership at the firm’s headquarters, oversee its Johor and Penang offices, and lead further expansion across Malaysia.
“I am grateful for the trust the management has placed in me to lead Nawawi Tie into its next chapter. We will continue to deliver tailored solutions while upholding the professionalism and integrity the firm is known for,” said Ma in the statement.
Meanwhile, Wong will remain with the company as executive advisor, focusing on strategic advisory and continuing to head the residential agency team.
During Wong’s tenure, the company expanded its market presence with the opening of offices in Penang in 2021 and Johor in 2024.
“Our succession plan has been in place for several years, with a younger leadership team, led by Daniel, playing a pivotal role in the firm’s recent growth. I have no doubt that Daniel will take the firm to new heights with his depth of expertise, bold leadership style, and far-sighted vision,” said Wong.
Nawawi Tie under Ma’s leadership will focus on diversifying its client base, expanding its regional footprint including into East Malaysia, and advancing sustainability initiatives.
