It has been 17 years since the establishment of Chamber of Commerce (thereafter referred as China Enterprises Chamber of Commerce, CECCM). Under the wise guidance of the leaders from Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Malaysia, CECCM has grown rapidly in line with the economic development of China and Malaysia. Many new tasks have been continuously done by CECCM to protect the rights and interests of its members as well as to benefits the general public in compliance with laws and regulations. It has certainly become an important platform to hold more communication and economic exchange activities of China-Malaysia.

During my term as the President, I sincerely hope to gain support and cooperation from my fellow members to build a constructive organization, offer better services and be of assistance to the Embassy which includes actively taking up social responsibilities and enhancing better soft skills.

In order to uphold the image of CECCM as a representative of Chinese enterprises in Malaysia, it is necessary for us to have good team building to strengthen our bond and knowledges through various forms of activities such as seminar, event and etc. Besides that, we need to actively maintain good rapport with Malaysian government departments, chambers of commerce, and other associations to establish communication channels. I believe this would be beneficial for members who are ready to exert its businesses. In such case, CECCM could provide accurate investment information to guide its member to explore good business opportunities in Malaysia.

CECCM has always maintained a good relationship with the other local business associations such as The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM), The Federation of Chinese Association Malaysia, Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) and etc. I look forward to continue establishing good relationship with these associations. With their sound organizational strength, CECCM can jointly organize various activities to improve interactions between Malaysian and Chinese enterprises to discover more business opportunities. With the advantage of a vibrant multicultural society in Malaysia, I hope that CECCM can actively engage with not just the Chinese but also the Malay and Indian chambers of commerce and integrate into the local mainstream society.

With regards with this year’s activities, CECCM will actively participate in several important activities organized by the Embassy. In addition to that, various educational seminars, health and sports activities, as well as exchanges will be held from time to time.

I am honored to take on the responsibility as President and I will go all out and work closely with all of you selflessly. I believe that under the strong leadership of the embassy and the active participation and support from everyone, CECCM will become better and the business of all of our member will be more prosperous in the days to come.

Thank you.

总商会自2002年成立至今，已经到了第17个年头，在使馆领导的指导下，以及历届会长及理事会成员的配合分工下，总商会阵容日益壮大，在顺应中马经济高速发展的趋势下，不断做了许多新工作，既维护会员权益，也利于社会大众，并符合法律条规，成了中马经贸交流的重要沟通平台。

在我接下来的任期内，期望可以得到大家的合作与配合，开展相关工作，包括做好组织建设、提升服务功能、做好使馆和经商处的参谋和助手、积极承担社会责任及提升自身软实力等。

为了提升总商会整体形象，代表中资企业总商会在重大问题上发出集体的声音，我们有必要搞好队伍建设，通过讲座等各类形式加强学习和交流，同时主动积极与马来西亚政府部门、商会、社团保持密切联系，建立沟通渠道，相信对准备在这里大展拳脚的会员单位，提供准确无误的投资信息，更好地指引大家在马来西亚开拓创业良机。

总商会一直以来与本地商团都维持良好关系，这包括中总、华总、马中总、马中友好总商会等，我也期待在今后继续加强与他们的联系，建立有效合作机制，借助他们的健全组织实力，可定期合作推展各项活动，提高马中企业间的交流互动，寻找更多的商机。我也期待总商会能摆脱单一的华人圈子色彩，积极与本地的马来人、印度人商会交流，融入当地的主流社会。

今年的工作方针仍会配合使馆的工作要求，积极参加使馆组织的各项重要活动，同时也会不定期举办各类学习讲座，健康运动类联谊活动、考察交流等。

身负本届会长单位的重责，我将全力以赴，无私地与大家密切合作。我相信，在使馆的坚强领导下，在大家的积极参与和支持下，马来西亚中资企业总商会一定会越办越好，各位企业家们的业务一定会更加蒸蒸日上。
