Miti probes allegation of uncredited work for Malaysia Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka

KUALA LUMPUR (April 26): The Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry (Miti) is conducting a thorough investigation to gather and ascertain all relevant facts concerning an allegation made by an individual on social media over uncredited and uncompensated work for the Malaysia Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan.

In a statement today, the ministry said it takes note of the allegation pertaining to the pavilion concept creation that has been circulating on social media and reported by the press.

“We take this matter very seriously and reserve all our legal rights.

“Miti remains committed to the highest standards of integrity and compliance in all its dealings. We will take the necessary legal action if and when necessary,” it said.

According to reports, an individual alleged that the concept, theme, narrative and architectural direction developed by his company was used for the pavilion without proper recognition or payment.

In a post on Instagram, the user known as “Feythehuman” claimed his company had been involved in the project for nearly two years before it was “taken” by the ministry. – Bernama
