Are Foreign Based Architects Disadvantaged In Malaysia?

Foreign based architects are not new to Malaysia. Our majestic KLCC twin towers were designed by a renowned Argentinian architect - César Pelli while Sir Norman Foster's firm Fosters and Partners has designed many buildings in the KLCC vicinity. Are these foreign architecture firms competing on a level playing field with their Malaysian counterparts? We speak to Mun Inn Chan who is the founding partner for Design Collective Architects (DCA) and EDI Architects Sdn Bhd for insights.
