who are we?
Pertubuhan Wakaf Reka Grafik Malaysia (wREGA) or Graphic Design Association of Malaysia, was officially registered on 15 January 2001.
It is the only official authority on Graphic Design in Malaysia. We are recognised by ICOGRADA (International Council of Graphic Design Associations), a non-governmental, non-political professional body with consultative status with UNESCO, UNIDO and WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organisation).
Our Role
Graphic design practitioners are architects of change on various levels. They contribute to, dictate and influence global cultures; intellectual capital; human values; personal preferences; material needs; economic activity; regional development; and last but not least; our living environment. wREGA will act as the professional body to disseminate information, to provide resources, to encourage exchange, to contribute, to educate, and to inspire. Our real mission is to promote and encourage the best practice of professional graphic designing for the benefits of the creators, the users, the industry and the society.
