Who is Harmony / Zhongji?

HARMONY ENERGY ENGINEERING SDN. BHD. (Company No. 202501018375 / 1619789-T) is the foreign-owned Malaysian entity of Zhongji Construction Group (中骏建设集团, Tianjin Zhongji Construction Group Co., Ltd.), operating under the Harmony Group International brand.

Zhongji is a diversified industrial investment group spanning construction, renewable-energy investment & development, international trade, technology and more — with operations in 10+ countries and an annual output measured in the hundreds of billions. To deliver large-scale construction and energy projects in Malaysia, the group needed a top-grade, fully compliant local contractor. That is where ONEKEY BIZ came in.

The objective

Why Harmony went straight to G7

A global builder entering Malaysia needs the credentials to match its ambitions — and the structure to employ a local team.

🏗️

No project too big

CIDB Grade G7 is the highest tier — it carries no upper limit on project value, so the group can tender for the largest construction and energy works.

👥

Ready to employ locally

EPF (KWSP) and SOCSO (PERKESO) employer accounts let the company hire and pay staff in full compliance with Malaysian statutory requirements.

🌏

A compliant local base

A registered, foreign-owned Malaysian entity gives the group a clean, credible platform to operate, contract and grow across the region.

✓ Done 02

EPF (KWSP) employer account

We registered the company's Employees Provident Fund (KWSP) employer account, so staff contributions can be made correctly from the first payroll.

FAQ

CIDB G7, EPF & SOCSO — frequently asked questions

What is CIDB Grade G7 and its tender limit?
CIDB Grade G7 is the highest contractor registration grade in Malaysia. It carries no upper limit on project value, so the holder can tender for construction works of any size.
Can a foreign-owned company obtain CIDB G7?
Yes. A foreign-owned Malaysian company can register with CIDB as a foreign contractor at Grade G7, provided it is properly incorporated and structured to meet the requirements. ONEKEY BIZ handles the structuring and the registration.
What are EPF (KWSP) and SOCSO (PERKESO) employer accounts?
EPF (KWSP) and SOCSO (PERKESO) are Malaysia's statutory employee schemes. An employer account for each lets a company make the required retirement-savings and social-security contributions for its staff.
Must Malaysian employers register for EPF and SOCSO?
Yes. Once a company hires staff, it must register EPF and SOCSO employer accounts and make monthly contributions. These are legal obligations for every employer in Malaysia.
Can ONEKEY BIZ handle CIDB plus employer accounts together?
Yes. ONEKEY BIZ arranges the CIDB contractor registration together with the EPF and SOCSO employer accounts, so the company is cleared to both tender for works and legally employ its team.
