Hock Seng Lee Berhad (HSL)’s origins date back to the early 1970s when two brothers of the Yu/Yii family acquired a timber dredging vessel, M.T. Hock Seng Lee, and established what was principally a sand dredging and landfill operation.
Hock Seng Lee Development Co. was registered in 1974 and corporatized to become Hock Seng Lee Development Company Sendirian Berhad in 1979. Dato Paul Yu Chee Hoe, the younger brother of the Yu/Yii family became the Managing Director, the position he still holds today in Hock Seng Lee Berhad.
The Company bought more vessels to transport sand and other cargo and began acquiring heavy machinery to support their landfill work. Over the last 30 years, HSL has taken on land reclamation projects of increasing size and complexity acquiring complementary expertise in soil improvement works, shore protection, drainage, rural water supply, and wastewater management systems.
It is now capable of a wide range of complex marine infrastructure, civil engineering, and construction works. It has diversified into property development under the wholly-owned subsidiary Hock Seng Lee Construction Sendirian Berhad.
HSL’s logo acknowledges the most versatile of earth moving and construction equipment – the excavator. Used for site clearing, drainage and earthworks, excavators have crawler tracks which can operate effectively even in swampy conditions and at remote sites.
Hence, the logo represents the qualities of HSL: durability, reliability, strength, versatility and good value. In addition, the symbol of the wheel has throughout the ages stood for continuity and progress and so represents HSL’s ongoing contribution to the development of a modern society.
