Dato’ Simon Foong is the CEO of Aquawalk, the company behind Aquaria KLCC, and the co-founder and group managing director of Senja Aman Development. Senja Aman specialises in marketing and establishing global brands, including personal care, lifestyle, and tourism-related businesses. Plus, Burger and Lobster is gearing up for expansion across the region, with plans to open new outlets in Jakarta, Cambodia, and the Philippines by 2024.

Foong is also known for his philanthropy and commitment to environmental conservation. Aquaria recently donated RM200,000 to Universiti Malaysia Terengganu for a coral conservation campaign in Pulau Bidong, Terengganu. Foong is also initiating conservation projects in Teluk Bahang to protect an endangered species, the Olive Ridley turtles, which nest on that beach. Looking ahead, Foong is channeling his energies towards a new biomedical specialist centre adjacent to the Angsana Wellness Resort in Penang. This unique facility will offer regenerative and preventive medicine, incorporating state-of-the-art cell therapy into its comprehensive medical wellness offerings.
