	Directors Garth and Brett Mathews are the founders of Secure Parking and have pioneered the business in Sydney, Australia since 1979. Over the course of 25 years, the two brothers built Secure Parking into the largest Australian parking facility manager with operations in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). What started off as a suggestion that could potentially earned him some extra money selling monthly parking spaces door-to-door in office buildings in the late 1970s turned out to be a multi-million dollar business. And the best part was Garth was not even aware of the money-making opportunities in parking facility management at that time. The then aspiring actor was busy with other things. He was taking acting classes during the day and driving a cab at night and his role model was Mel Gibson. Garth rubbed shoulders with the Hollywood star as an extra on the set of Gibson's early film Tim. But that's another story. The success that Secure Parking enjoys today, however, is derived from the complementary skills the two brothers bring to the business, Garth said. As he put it, his own sales, marketing and operational skills are bolstered by Brett's financial and administration skills. Brett has a master's degree in economics and was formerly the general manager of a large packaging company.

		Chairman / Director (YAM Tunku Dato’ Seri Shahabuddin Tunku Besar Burhanuddin) Tunku Shahabuddin was educated at the prestigious Malay College, Kuala Kangsar and Northern Ireland's Queens University in Belfast where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Economics) degree. On his return to Malaysia, he worked for companies like Esso Standard Malaysia Ltd and Syarikat Kewangan Melayu Raya Bhd, a finance company connected to the Malayan Banking Group. He has wide management experience in finance, manufacturing, production, trading, construction and the computer services industries. Tunku was also the personal representative of former Minister of Trade and Industry, Tan Sri Mohd Khir Johari, to the inaugural board of the National Institute of Industrial Research (later known as Standard Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia or SIRIM). He was also appointed as the Honorary Counsel General for Austria in 1972 and served in this capacity until the formal Austrian Embassy was established. Tunku was also the Chairman of the Automobile Association of Malaysia (AAM), a position he held for more than 23 years. In 1986, he became the first Malaysian to be appointed Asia-Pacific region President of the Alliance International de Tourisme. He is currently the Chairman of the Malaysia-Australia Business Council (MABC), a position he has held since the Association's inauguration in 1986. He was also a Governing Board Member of the Malaysia Canada Business Council (MCBC) up to 1992 and a committee member of Malaysia South-South Association (MASSA) since its inception up to early 1993. He is currently a committee member of the Selangor Turf Club.

		Managing Director (Edward K L Poh) Edward Poh has been in the Malaysia parking scene since 1990. His 10 years of industry experience was strategically capitalised to steer Secure Parking from being just a “new kid on the block” in 1996 to be one of the market leaders today. He built the company from scratch and has successfully led the company to the path of profitability within a short space of time. Prior to running Secure Parking Malaysia, he gained international car park management experience through a stint in Secure Parking Indonesia in 1995 where he assisted in the management of car parks with 5,000 bays or more. Under his watch, Secure Parking’s business in Malaysia grew from zero to 84 car parks under management to date nationwide. He was elected the Vice-President of the newly formed Malaysian Parking Association in the year 2000.
