The concept of facilities management were introduced in Malaysia since mid-90s with its aim was to ensure national own facilities are functioning well and to reach its maximum life time. Nevertheless 20 years had passed not much development since then. This claim is proven factual, as the root cause for some problems or incident happen such as buildings and ceilings collapsed, roofs or roof leaking and cracking on bridges were lead to the failure to carry out the facility management systems. Although the Government is now seen taking a move more aggressively in enhancing facility management, but obviously our country is still lagging with other practitioners. In this regard, this article aims to provide a deeper understanding for the Organisation and individual on the importance of facility management within an organisation in producing high-income organisation in line with the 10th Malaysia Plan to feature Malaysia into high-income developed countries.
