Brief Overview

The financial year of 2016/2017 was certainly challenging as the Branch was confronted with a number of issues that affected member companies. The Perak Coastal Charges, inconsistent policies in the recruitment of foreign workers, human resource and industrial relations, the Employment Insurance Scheme, and weak internet connection were some of the issues that were brought to the attention of the Branch. Nevertheless the Branch under the Chairmanship of YBhg Dato’ Gan Tack Kong continued to mitigate these issues by engaging the relevant government departments and agencies for practical solutions. One significant development that the Branch is proud to be associated with is the current ongoing Natural Gas Kinta Project which it had lobbied since 2002. Approximately 140km long and costing about RM180 million, the project will be completed in stages commencing from the 4th quarter 2018 until the 3rd quarter 2019. The take off point or referred to as the New City Gate Station is at Ayer Tawar and areas of coverage are, Seri Iskandar, Bemban, Lahat, Meru, Chemor, Simpang Pulai and Bercham. The project has already created keen interest amongst industries in the Kinta Valley as many are considering to opt for the natural gas supply. In the meantime, companies which had planned to relocate or had already relocated their operations are now reviving their projects. The Branch has also impressed upon the State Government to come up with a constructive investment plan to bring in more investments to be located along this pipeline.

The Branch with one exception also met all its key performance indicators namely, membership recruitment by recruiting 26 new members, exceeded its financial targets for FMM Institute, FMM activities, Sales of Publications and Forms and target on Advertisement Leads. The Certificate of Endorsement was the exception which was attributed to lower exports and many companies opting for the preferential certificate of origin under MITI.

The Branch continued to play a proactive role in updating members on the latest government policies and regulations by way of organising seminars, workshops, dialogues and briefings. The Latest Labour Legislation Review, Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standards, Updates on Employment of Foreign Workers, Amendments to the Company Act, Latest Duty Exemption Drawback and Latest Updates on GST were some of the pertinent activities which were well participated by both members and non-members.

Regional Sub-Committees Report Hilir Perak Regional Sub-Committee

The Hilir Perak Regional Sub-Committee comprising of 9 members and under the Chairmanship of Encik Loo Ching Seng of Shoon Fatt Biscuit & Confectionery Factory Sdn Bhd met regularly to discuss regional issues faced by members. Issues such as manpower shortage, difficulty of recruiting foreign workers, high inspection fees on processed foods by MAQIS Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services (MAQIS) were some of the main issues discussed. The members are also concerned that implementation of the Employees Insurance Scheme will adversely affect SMEs as it will contribute to higher cost of production. The Sub-committee has also through IPMC Hilir Perak actively represented infrastructure issues faced by industries. However, Majlis Perbandaran Teluk Intan (MPTI) is only able to provide limited assistance because the industrial estates are not recognised by MIDA and hence not eligible for Federal government grants. Taiping Regional Sub-Committee

The Taiping Regional Sub-committee comprising of 27 member companies and headed by En. A. Jeyavalan of Mafipro Sdn Bhd met quarterly to discuss various issues affecting members in the Taiping region. Concerns over the difficulties faced in renewing and recruiting foreign workers, ground water charges, the proposed Employment Insurance Scheme, stringent guidelines on accommodation for foreign workers, delays in halal certification were some of the issues that were regularly discussed at the meetings. Members also continued to be active in the Kamunting Industrial Park Management Committee (IPMC), chaired by the YDP of Majlis Perbandaran Taiping (MPT), YBhg. Dato’ Haji Abdul Rahim B. Md. Ariff and co-chaired by Encik A. Jeyavalan. It was through this IPMC that the upgrading of the Kamunting and Kamunting Raya Industrial Estates costing RM4.09 million and which was completed in January 2017 was made possible. The implications of the Petronas Club Prix held on October 24, 2016 at the Kamunting Raya Industrial Estate which would have affected the operations of some companies was also amicably resolved after the organiser made special provisions to ensure that the companies would not be affected.
