Perdasama founder urges Malaysians to zero-in on exports

In a media release today, the Perdasama founder Datuk Moehamad Izat Emir urged Malaysians entrepreneurs and businessmen to focus on exporting Malaysian goods.

The UMNO Petaling Jaya Selatan division chairman of the Setia Budi branch however said there must be a dialogue with local banks to assist in the drive to export Malaysian goods.

He said it was also necessary to introduce various facilities available to enable the business community to enhance our export capability.

“But also there is need to thoroughly guide the business community so that Malaysia becomes a cleverer exporter just as other countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan and some parts of Europe (Italy, France and so on).

“I would like to call upon all our members, associates and business community to make out all effort to promote Malaysia’s products. We are rich in commodities and manufacturing products such as palm oil, rubber, timber, furniture, cocoa, pepper, kenaf, tobacco and many others.

“To help our business community succeeds, the banks need to proactively come forward to provide active supports for export industries. Time limit to meet and discuss with the banks on issues on export should be highly welcomed with full assistance from the banks,” he said.

Moehamad is also the president of Persatuan Pedagang Asean (PERDA-ASEAN) and is known in the business circle as a fighter for the good representation of Malaysian products locally and abroad.

He said the current government is doing an excellent job of executing measures to save the nation.

“It is a great 1st of June 2018 where all of us are celebrating the zeroized GST rate & several other major decisions made by the Government to rehabilitate the economy.”

He started his letter with ‘Salam Harapan’ which is used by Pakatan Harapan.
