五年战略

03

FIVE-YEAR STRATEGY

所谓的“五年战略”就是:使商会在未 来五年里,具备与保持竞争优势,并提 升能力,好让自己更好,能够运用九大 计划,达到五年目标! 商会的五年战略 在于打稳根基,从内而外的推展: KLSFEA’s Five-Year Strategy means that in the next five years, the association will maintain a competitive edge and upgrade its capability to be even better. Through this strategy, we can develop the nine major plans to achieve the five major goals! The gist of KLSFEA’s fiveyear strategy is about establishing a firm foundation to promote these objectives from within.

发展资讯系统、加强会员互动、促进会员联谊 产业的发展靠资讯的迅速与准确,透过现代化的网络与电脑,掌握科 技,建立与消费者、会员企业、政府部门及商会内部间的运作与沟通, 拟聚共识,创造更多的机会,

DEVELOPMENT OF AN INFORMATION SYSTEM, STRENGTHEN MEMBERS’ INTERACTIONS, PROMOTE MEMBERS’ NETWORKING Development of the industry hinges on the speed and accuracy of information. Through modern networks and computer systems, we can master the necessary technology, facilitate operations and communications between KLSFEA and consumers, members’ companies and government departments, as well as within KLSFEA itself Hence, consensus can be reached and more opportunities can be created.

01 建构专业组织、扩大组织规模、筹建行政会所

04

要完成商会目标,就要有强健的组织。除了专业人才外,并保持组织

拟聚同业力量、参与海外展销、建立国际关系

的综合战力,提升功能和效率,面对未来五年的重大挑战,并要广招 会员,扩大影响力,让有心发展的同业都能够在商会提供资源、发展 事业。

大马家具要走进国际,塑造品牌,就应该积极参与海外的事务,包括参 加国外的展销会、考察等,与各国的企业、商团、政府建立好的互动关 系,并掌握商情,作为未来发展的决策依据。

ESTABLISHMENT OF A PROFESSIONAL ORGANISATION, EXPANSION OF ORGANISATION, ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ADMINISTRATION CHAMBER

COMBINE THE STRENGTHS OF INDUSTRY PLAYERS, PARTICIPATION IN OVERSEAS EXHIBITIONS, ESTABLISHMENT OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

KLSFEA has to be a strong organisation in order to accomplish its goals. In addition to having professional talents, KLSFEA also needs to maintain the integrated competitive capabilities of the organisation, enhance functionality and efficiency, as well as bring in more new members in order to deal with major challenges in the next five years. It also needs to expand its sphere of influence and create a platform for industry players who are serious about development to provide resources and develop the business within the organisation.

To go international and build up the brand, Malaysia’s furniture industry players should participate actively in overseas activities, including overseas trade fairs and study trips, as well as establishing beneficial relationships with companies, business associations and the governments of various countries. It is important to understand the market conditions and use the information as a basis for decision-making regarding future development.

02

05 政商双向沟通、争取政府资源、提升外劳管理

引进外部资源、培养产业人才、提高品牌形象 要促进家具产业建立家具品牌,其中人才就是绝对的必要条件。要扩大 各类专业的参与,并帮助会员企业培育产业人才,建立知识管理、培 训、学习系统等,提高经营管理能力。

INTRODUCTION OF EXTERNAL RESOURCES, GROOMING OF TALENTS FOR THE INDUSTRY, ENHANCEMENT OF BRAND IMAGE To promote the furniture industry and build the furniture brand, talents are very important. It is absolutely essential to boost greater participation from professionals from various fi help members’ companies groom talents for the industry, build up knowledge management, training, learning systems, as well as improve operations and management capabilities.

建立政府与会员企业之间的桥梁,提供政府实际的产业讯息与需求,将 政府的产业政策传达至企业,使得产业与政府之间能够互信互助,解决 企业的问题,发展国家的经济实力。

BILATERAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN BUSINESSES AND THE STATE, OBTAIN GOVERNMENT RESOURCES, IMPROVEMENT OF FOREIGN WORKERS’ MANAGEMENT It is very important to establish a bridge of communication between the government and members’ companies. This is essential in providing the government with practical information and actual requirements of the industry and ensuring that all state policies regarding the industry will be communicated to the companies, thus helping to create mutual trust between the government and industry players, resolve business problems and develop Malaysia’s economic capabilities.

五年战略如何 落实九大计 划 愿景

Vision

任务

Mission

WAYS TO IMPLEMENT THE NINE MAJOR PLANS WITH THE FIVE-YEAR STRATEGY 五九五计划标示了商会在未来五年所要达成的

人才、制度、沟通等核心议题,让商会这个大

目标。

团体建立一个可长可久方向与游戏规则,在这 条漫漫长路上能透过大家的认同中达到预期的 效果。

商会依据本身的条件现况,掌握了自身的优势与 劣势,例如会员对商会计划的投入是优势,家具 业人才与人力的问题是劣势,以及外在环境的 机会点及威胁点,例如马来西亚的国际化课题 的机会点及国外竞争激烈的威胁点。基于此, 商会的五年战略就必须考虑层层面面,寻找核 心的应对之道,并且拟定可行的行动计划。 五年战略中,可从两个层面来看,一个是决策 面,一个是执行面。 一、在决策面, 1.商会常务理事、理事、会员,需要产生共 识,要知道我们的未来,要清楚何去何从,要 明白家具业如何走才能为产业、为商会、为会 员带来效益。 2.从根本来考虑,商会就是要有健全的组织、 透明的沟通、明确的制度、常态性的财源。 对应到九大计划,就需要持续推动展销会,不 单是国内,还要推广到海外,不仅是与国际接 轨,也是商会的财源,并且以家具期刊与市场 沟通,透过与官员的对话与政府沟通,透过组 织发展与福利文教与会员沟通。 二、在执行面, 有了决策,那就需要靠1.人才 的引进,以不低 于市场的条件吸引人才,及效 率化的管理使人 才能在商会这个平台发挥所长 。2.而且不单是 固定的职工,更要以商会愿景 来吸引各方的专 才,包含设计、营销、会计 、法律、经营管理 等,汇集多样化的人才, 才能有效运用有限资 源发挥最大效果。 因此,九大计划的成功与否,可以大胆的说, 就需要在这五年中,落实战略中所提的组织、

The Five-Nine-Five plan marks the goals that KLSFEA aims to achieve in the next fi years. Based on current conditions, KLSFEA has a clear understanding of its own strengths and weaknesses. For instance, the commitment of members to KLSFEA’s plans is indeed its strength, but the problems of insufficient talents and manpower for the furniture industry will be its weakness. There are also opportunities and threats in the external environment. For instance, Malaysia’s international outlook would be an opportunity while intense competition from other countries constitutes a threat. Therefore, while implementing its five-year strategy, KLSFEA needs to consider all aspects, find key ways to respond to varying situations and develop viable action plans. The five-year strategy can be studied from two aspects – the decision-making aspect and the implementation aspect. (1) The Decision-Making Aspect 1.1. Executive Council members, Standing Committee members and ordinary members of KLSFEA need to build a consensus and be clear about our future prospects and the direction to take. They need to understand how the furniture industry should operate in order to bring about benefi for the industry, KLSFEA and members. 1.2 Fundamentally, KLSFEA needs to maintain a healthy organisation, transparent communication, a clear system and a regular source of income.

Action Plan

In accordance to the nine major plans, it is very important to promote trade fairs continuously, not only within the country but also beyond our shores. This will not only put us on par with international standards, the trade fairs will also be a source of income for KLSFEA. It is essential to communicate with the market, the government and members through furniture periodicals, official dialogue, as well as organisation development, welfare and education respectively. (2) The Implementation Aspect Once we have decided on the relevant action plans, we would need to leverage on the following to implement our courses of action. 2.1. Attract talents by offering terms that are comparable to market rates. Implement efficient management systems to enable these talents to develop their potential in KLSFEA. 2.2. We should not only recruit regular employees, but also leverage on KLSFEA’s vision to attract professionals from various fields, such as design, marketing, accounting, law, management and so on. Bringing together diverse talents can help us optimise limited resources to achieve maximum effects. Therefore, boldly speaking, the success of the nine major plans depends on the implementation of key ideas involving organisation, talents, systems and communication as highlighted in the five-year strategy. In this way, KLSFEA, with its huge membership base, can establish the rules of the game and a sustainable direction for future development so that in this long journey, everyone can eventually attain the desired results through a common understanding.

03 As the furniture industry is a “labor intensive” industry, it will directly affect the industry at the present stage of development should there be a shortage of local labor. Participation in international exhibitions is the best route for the furniture entrepreneur to enter the international market; at the same time, it is the best platform to gather the latest information, and a source of learning and inspiration.. Thus, KLSFEA, together with MFPC and MATRADE’s international plan aims to encourage members to participate in exhibitions and study groups to explore business opportunities. In 2010, KLSFEA have formed a study group with ventures to Shenzhen, Beijing, Nanning. Milan and Mumbai. For the year 2011, the plan is to proceed to Las Vegas and Milan. In year 2012, it will be South America and Milan; for 2013, Italy and South Africa. The objective of this itinerary is to help the members explore business opportunities while promoting Malaysia’s furniture branding. Besides the plans to participate in overseas international fairs and study groups, KLSFEA wishes to gather the various businesses in the Malaysia furniture industries and collaborate on a Showroom of Malaysia’s brands during the major China trade shows. This will mainly serve to increase the recognition by foreign buyers, while highlighting the Malaysian brand in the international arena. Lastly, these efforts aims to strengthen the industry on a whole for more cost-saving in freight shipping and to streamline other aspects of the work. The association has participated in the Shenzhen Furniture Fair 2010, and the target Chinese cities for 2011 is Shanghai, Guangzhou and Dongguan.

第三计划 Third Plan

申请外劳特许

SPECIAL PERMIT TO EMPLOY FOREIGN WORKERS 外劳短缺是家具产业的痛。由于家具产业属“ 劳力密集” 产业,在本地劳工缺乏的情况下, 如果没有提供具生产力的外劳,将直接影响到 产业现阶段的发展。 目前家具同业均通过代理公司引进外劳,雇主与 代理公司在外劳素质及薪水配套等各方面不易达 致共识,造成许多社会问题,影响产业发展。 在软件方面,一般业主或工厂,多半无专职之外 劳管理人员,在本身工作繁重之际,焉有余力专 心于外劳管理工作。且外劳管理为一持续且恒久 之工作,再加上语言沟通不易,外劳习性无法掌 握,一昧硬性要求与规范,自然事倍功半。 而在硬件方面,设施不足,无法解决外劳因离 乡背景所衍生之孤独与疏离感,本国劳工与外 籍劳工之待遇偏差,易使外劳因卑微而产生之 抗拒现象,无法获得疏解,而更多的问题存在 于外籍劳工身上,诸如:男女问题、加班问 题、饮食、交通...等均有赖良好之管理与 辅导,始能期有所成。 因此本会计划成立“ 家具业外劳申请特许公 司” 。由于本会了解同业对外劳的要求,计划 提供全套服务,包括国外选工、素质审核、短 期培训、外劳管理等,以满足产业需求,提升 产业竞争力。

Currently, most of the furniture companies are hiring foreign workers through agencies. When employers and agencies face difficulties reaching a consensus in term of the quality and salary package of foreign workers, social problems are caused, with influence on the development of industries. In the software industry, most of the employers or factories do not have full-time workers for personnel management. In the occasion of heavy workload, these employees have no capacity to concentrate on labor management. In addition, communication problems due to language barriers, with the mandatory requirements and specifications from employers will definitely affect the quality of work. In the hardware industry, problems such as the lack of facilities, the uprooted foreign workers facing loneliness and alienation, and the disparate treatment between local and foreign workers result in resistance. Not only that, there are many more problems from the foreign workers as well, such as relationship problems, personnel management, overtime work, hospitality, transportation etc. However, these problems can be solved with good management and consultation. As a result, the association plans to establish the “Furniture Industry Foreign Worker Special Permit Application Company” to provide a full package of service including foreign workers selection, quality audit, short-term training and labor management in order to meet industry needs and enhance industrial competitiveness.

第四计划 Plan Forth

政府事务

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS 一个国家的产业发展需要产、官、学的配合。 一个产业的问题与需求也只有产业经营者最清 楚,如何让政府做出对的政策,协助产业发 展,需要业者的配合。 单独的企业往往无法准确掌握政府的政策及资 讯,无法提供全面性的建议给政府。 因此本会有义务搭建沟通桥梁,发挥上传下达 的效果,协助会员面对政府事务,比如提呈产 业发展及企业需求的备忘录给政府,也协助政 府对产业支持的政策落实到各会员企业,协助 会员企业申请各项政府奖掖,以达到产、官的 合作,实现家具产业的发展政策。 本会更计划并落实执行协助家具业者群聚发 展,规划1000亩的” 雪州国际家具城” ,建立 集展示厅、学院、工厂、内陆港口等功能与设 施,让产业能够一站式发展。

第五计划 Fifth Plan A country’s industrial development needs the co-ordination among production, government and science. Only the industry operators themselves know best the needs and problems of the industry. .As such the industry needs to cooperate with the government in making the right policies that will promote growth. Many a times, individual companies are unable to accurately grasp Government regulation and information, and thus, will not provide comprehensive views and proposals to the government. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the communication with the government departments and get their understanding of the contribution made by the furniture industry. This will assist the industry operators with government collaboration and initiatives such as collation of feedback and proposal preparation, which also helps furniture entrepreneurs to apply the incentive policy by the government. Through the cooperation from both parties, the development policies of the furniture industry can be successfully implemented. The association has began executing its plans to establish a “1,000 acres Selangor World Furniture Industry City” in order to cluster the development of furniture industry.

家具期刊

FURNITURE MAGAZINES AND PERIODICALS 隆雪家具专业期刊是为了推动产业发展、掌 握市场趋势、丰富家具品牌推广而出版的刊 物,从2010年开始,推出创刊号,内容含括政 府 政 策 、 行 业 资 讯、 市 场 讯 息 等, 2011 年 , 本 会 正 式 推 出 年 刊, 并 计 划 2012年 出 版 半 年 刊,2013年开始每年推出季刊。其间将视产业 需要推出特刊。 本会也将在2014年出版国际指南,并到世界各 地主要展览会分派指南,以让海外买家认识本 会及本国家具业。 <KLSFEA> is a magazine which promotes industrial development and full of market information for our industry. Its first publication is in year 2010; the content covers government policies, information of industry and market news etc. In the year 2011, the association will launch an annual magazine. It also plans to publish a biannual magazine in 2012 and a quarterly magazine in year 2013. it will also publish a special edition magazine if required from the industry. In the year 2014, the association will be also publishing an international directory and distribute it at the world’s major exhibitions in order to introduce the council and local furniture industryl to International foreign buyers.

第六计划 Sixth Plan

人力资源发展

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT 任何企业、产业、国家的发展都以人为本。唯 有人材才能创造未来。 长久以来,因为本行业须要大量的人力资源, 又由于员工缺乏训练,因此企业间挖角情况普 遍,造成许多不必要的纷争。因此解决之道在 于人力的补充与人才的培养,也惟有通过人员 的训练与实战的养成,才能解决人的问题。 本会计划最迟在2013年成立家具学院,透过技 术与管理方面的训练,提高产业的生产力。在 家具学院成立之前,每年将举办至少4次讲座 会及培训营,以协助会员企业解决部分人力素 质的问题。同时,本会也将人才的培养扩展至 土著,并配合政府政策,在2014年将参与家具 业的土著提高至30%以上,并培养土著成为家 具设计的专才,鼓励土著创设家具周边产业。

The Furniture industry needs a lot of human resources. Due to the fact that the employees lack training, poaching becomes prevalent among enterprises and causes many unnecessary disputes. Undoubtedly the most effective solution is to train talent for the whole industry. The association plans to establish a “Furniture Industry College” latest by year 2013, to nurture talent through courses and training programmes related to upstream and downstream furniture industry. Before the establishment of the college, there will be at least four seminars and training camps to assist the association members to solve problems concerning workers’ qualities. Meantime, the association will also extend the training to the indigenous groups, which is in line with government policy to increase their participation, with more than 30% of the indigenous people in the furniture industry in 2014. Besides, it also helps to develop indigenous expertise in furniture design and encourage them to create more home furniture.

第七计划 Seventh Plan

本会建立资讯化 管理系统

BUILDING A INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 现代商业环境是讲求资讯化的时代,本会将建 立ISO制度、SERVER ,以导入客户关系管理 系 统 ( CRM ) 、 架设 网 站, 建 立会 员 的 完 整 资料档案,发展科技资讯,并透过网站,打造 双向贸易平台,让国内外商家都能轻易找到合 适的供应商或合作伙伴。 The modern business environment is in the era that emphasises on information technology. The association will establish the ISO, SERVER, and to import the customer relationship management system (CRM). Besides, it will also set up a website and build a complete data file of the membership to develop technology information. Through its website, it can create a two-way trade platform for both domestic and foreign businesses in order to faciliate the members in finding the right supplier or partner in a more convenient way.

组织发展

ORGANISATION DEVELOPMENT 为了发展产业,凝聚产业力量是最根本之途, 为了完成发展的目标,建立一个良好且健全的 团队是首要的工作,而2011年设立常务理事会 将是改革的开始。商会也将在2011年成立青年 团,为了未来发展做好准备的工作。踏入2014 年,本会将兴建一个功能完善的综合行政楼, 并逐年投入300万零吉、300万零吉、400万零 吉,以达到1000万零吉的目标,使本会拥有更 良好环境与设施来发展业务。 目前本会拥有350家会员企业,本会将在2012 年聘请执行长(CEO),组织专业队伍,抛弃 一般公会刻板的模式,将广招会员,使组织多 元化、分工精细化,执行专业化,目标在2014 年达致1000家会员;并且抛开“ 厂商公会” 的 刻板形象,增加上下游业者、零售、批发及进 出口商为会员,凸显本会代表的是全体同行, 令本会更有代表性。

The most fundamental way to develop the industry is to recruit more members and to diversity the association. In 2011, the association will set up a new general council. It will also set up a Youth Group in 2011, in order to nurture successors and prepare for future development. For 2014, the association aims to build an integrated administrative office, and invest 300 million Malaysian Ringgit annually in order to achieve the goal of 10 million Malaysian Ringgit for a better environment and improved facilities for business development. At the present, the association has 350 member companies and it will be hiring a CEO in year 2012 and also organizing a professional team to revamp the association’s image. Besides, it will recruit more members to diverse the association, divide jobs meticulously and execute initiatives professionally, targeting to achieve 1,000 members in year 2014, and shedding the stereotypical image of “Manufacturers Association”. It also plans to add on upstream and downstream industry, retail, wholesale, import and exporters as members to highlight the representation in the industry to enhance their position in the government and business chambers.

本会成立的宗旨中要团结同业,促进彼此的交 谊,因此在会员的活动设计上不遗余力,透 过会员拜访、联谊、家庭日、子女奖学金、旅 游、俱乐部等,为会员之间创造合作的契机。 也筹办会员产品发表茶会,让会员之间能创造 更多的商机。 本会也履行社会责任,在社会公益方面不遗余 力,比如举办施赠贫老活动,以发挥抛砖引玉 之效,鼓励更多同业及公众投入爱心事业。 Theinitialintentionoftheassociationistounitethe industry entrepreneurs and promote friendship. Thus, in addition to addressing the issues of the industry, the association should also carry out more social activities such as members and friendly visits, family days, children scholarships scheme, travel, clubs, etc to enhance interaction and cooperation among members to create more business opportunities. Efforts can be put into different kinds of social welfare activities to fulfill their social responsibilities. For example, organizing a donation drive for the poor and old folks in order to encourage more people to be involved in the welfare activities.

九大计划如何 落实五大目标

WAYS TO ACHIEVE THE FIVE MAJOR GOALS THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NINE MAJOR PLANS

2010年商会推动五九五计划,最主要的目的是

因此,透过计划分步的实施,逐步获取资源,

透过共同的目标与愿景,凝聚同业力量,使解 决商会会员的经营问题与威胁,创造现在与未 来的整体利益。

避免躁进的风险,增强会员及职工的信心,应 该是目标达成的不二法门。

在经营事业时,我们常说” 经营由订立计划开 始” ,由此可知,在事前订立计划是非常重要 的工作,有了计划才有标准,才有依据,才能 评估成败,才能形成共识,才能达成目标。有 了计划,商会才能清楚需要花多少时间,动用 多少人力物力,不然如同没有目的而航行在大 海的船,会迷失在茫茫大海中。 毫无疑问的 ,商会的目标达成,计划的实施就 是实现目 标的唯一武器。 以五九五计划来说,根据产业环境和商会的特 点,为达成五大目标,完成商会的宗旨,九大 计划宜分三个阶段来发展: 1)第一阶段,以观念共识为条件,以计划蓝 本为基础启动,将商会力量统一,快速整合。 2)第二阶段,配合计划陆续的启动,以最快 速度将商会力量由内而外的发挥影响力,进而 产生实际成效,加强同业与专业团队信心。 3)第三阶段,将各项目标具体运作,透过事 业体经营模式,让五大目标能够独立运作,发 挥最大的互动效果。

In 2010, KLSFEA promoted the Five-Nine-Five plan with the main purpose of combining the strengths of industry players through common objectives and vision, in order to help members resolve problems and threats faced in business operations and protect the overall interests of industry players in the present and future. When running a business, we often say that it should start with a plan. Obviously, advance planning is a very important job. With proper plans, we can set a standard and a foundation to evaluate the success or failure of business operations, reach a consensus and finally achieve our goals. With proper plans, KLSFEA will be clear about the duration needed and the manpower and resources that have to be used to attain the goals. Otherwise, we would just be like a ship sailing in the sea without any direction and we would be lost in the vast oceans. Without a doubt, implementation of our plans is the only weapon for KLSFEA to achieve its goals. For the Five-Nine-Five plan, according to the unique characteristics of the business climate in the furniture industry and the niche

of KLSFEA, the nine major plans should be developed in three stages in order to achieve the five major goals and fulfil the objectives of the association. Stage 1: Establish unanimous beliefs and launch the plans based on the blueprints, thus consolidating and integrating the strengths of KLSFEA rapidly. Stage 2: With the plans launched one after another, enhance KLSFEA’s sphere of influence from within in the shortest period and let it spread out, so that the strength of the association can produce practical results and strengthen confidence among industry players and professional team members. Stage 3: Concrete implementation of the various goals. The business management model can allow the five major goals to operate independently and achieve maximum synergised effects. Therefore, step-by-step implementation of the plans will enable the association to obtain resources accordingly. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Gradual implementation will mitigate such risks and enhance confidence among members and staff. This should be the only way to achieve the goals.

KLSFEA has been organising the Malaysian Furniture and Furnishings Fair (MF3) for three consecutive years since 2008. MF3 appeals to the domestic market by providing furniture companies and customers with an interactive platform. It also helps to increase consumer spending. We hope that through the exhibition, we are able to consolidate the strengths of local furniture companies and encourage them to create their own brands and expand beyond the shores of Malaysia.

MF3 has created a platform for companies and manufacturers to promote and sell their products. It has also enabled consumers to upgrade and improve their dream homes. Besides these, MF3 has given us a better understanding of our premium furniture brand. MF3 has brought various brands of local furniture under one roof. In addition to attracting ordinary consumers, architecture and interior design professionals can also gather the latest trends of well-known furniture brands in Malaysia. In the exhibition hall, besides getting to appreciate the diversity in interior décor, visitors can also experience the fashionable vibes of the local market in furniture and accessories design.

The 4th Malaysian furniture and decoration trade shows will be held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KL Convention Centre) from 4th to 7th August 2011. This will see the integration of cultural elements into furniture design to demonstrate the country’s unique and refreshing cultural characteristics. The 3rd Malaysian furniture and decoration trade show was held in July 2010, attracting 65,000 people with an estimated sale rate of50 million Malaysian Ringgit sales. We believe the upcoming trade will reach a higher level and that the expected sales to increase more than double.

马来西亚家具与装饰展销会总协调 Coordinator of Malaysia Furniture and Furnishing Fair 周嘉昌 Edmund Chew Kar Chong In the coming fairs, we will have more exhibits that will be diversified available. Besides that, we will also be organising the raffle draw with attractive prizes, proactively giving back to consumers. Meanwhile, in order to break away from the monotony of trade shows, we will be organizing some courses mainly targeted at exhibitors and their staff to improve themselves and in time better the company’s turnover. This time we will be having the integration of batik culture in the furniture show. In fact, the 3rd trade fair also featured a similar attempt. Following favourable feedback from the fair, we have decided to implement the extensive use of batik to create a distinct theme and an exclusive image for the fair. We will also decorate the corridor outside the exhibition hall, making it Batik creative showcase, so that consumers can feel the Malaysian culture and improve their impression of the trade fairs. Although the Furniture and Decoration Fair in Malaysia is mainly targeted at the domestic market with the general public, we also welcome the Malaysia’s Architecture and Interior Design professionals and buyers to visit the fair for the latest fashion trends of local wellknown furniture brands.

These fairs serve as a source of information, learning opportunities and inspiration for both exhibitors and visitors alike. Similarly, interacting with overseas manufacturers through trade missions helps promote the furniture industry and improve its competitiveness. In addition, trade missions bring business opportunities and greatly enhance the international market standing of local industries.

The Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association frequently organizes overseas trade missions in order to foster international exchange and cooperation. Such missions help Malaysia’s furniture industry expand into the international markets and will also bring the standard of the industry to greater heights. Together with the Malaysian Furniture Promotion Council, the Association visited the Poland International Furniture Exhibition in Poznań in June 2009. In November 2009, the Association organized a trade mission to explore business opportunities in Beijing. In December of the same year, the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association became a sister association of China’s Shenzhen Furniture Association, and the two trade associations jointly set up the Malaysian Pavilion in the 25th Shenzhen International Furniture Expo on 19th March 2010. In mid April 2010, 60 members of the Association visited the Milan International Furniture Fair in Italy. The last organized trips of the year were to the India International Furniture Fair and the China-ASEAN Expo in October.

The trade missions organized by the Association have always been extremely fruitful in building up networks and discovering new business opportunities. The Association will be seeking future exposition opportunities in the Chinese cities of Shanghai, Guangzhou and Dongguan.

THE 25TH SHENZHEN INTERNATIONAL FURNITURE EXPO The Malaysian Pavilion in the 25th Shenzhen International Furniture Expo was the result of the first collaboration in March between the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association and the Shenzhen Furniture Association since the two became sister associations in January 2010. The Malaysian Pavilion is aimed at helping the Malaysian furniture industry expand into the Chinese market, foster interaction between Chinese and Malaysian furniture entrepreneurs and increase the awareness of Malaysian brands in the Chinese market. By actively promoting the Malaysian Pavilion, the Association hoped to gather Malaysian exhibitors within one exhibition booth not only to portray a unified team image, but

also to prevent sporadic competition and to conspicuously present the Malaysian brand image to international buyers. Various types of South-East Asian furniture of elegant designs and invigorating styles were on display at the Malaysian Pavilion. In comparison to American and European furniture, furniture from South-East Asia are the perfect choices for consumers who are looking to create calm and comfort in their homes. It is thus a matter of course to see increasing popularity of South-East Asian furniture. The alliance of the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association with the Shenzhen Furniture Association not only helped create a platform for interaction between the furniture industries of the two countries, but also brought about opportunities for collaboration to reap mutual benefits and to reach win-win situations.

THE 49TH MILAN INTERNATIONAL FURNITURE FAIR 60 members of the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association visited the 49th Milan International Furniture Fair in Italy from the 14th to the 20th of April,

2010. Leong Wei Theng, last year’s winner of the Junior Designer Award organized by the Malaysian Furniture & Furnishing Fair (MF3), was invited to take part in this trade mission. The Milan International Furniture Fair is known as one of the top three trade fairs of the world. Held annually since 1961, it has seen 49 consecutive runs. Setting the international trends for furniture, furnishings and lightings, the fair is a grand event eagerly anticipated by furniture entrepreneurs of the world. This year’s Milan International Furniture Fair is held at the FieraMilano International Convention Centre. Merchandises on exhibition include furnishings for the living room, bedroom, dining hall and garden, cane furniture, children’s furniture, hanging furniture, metallic furniture, garden furniture, kitchen furniture and lightings. The aims of this visit are to identify trends in the furniture industry, observe current international market dynamics and interacting with overseas manufacturers to explore business opportunities.

Memories and happiness still pumping strong in her mind – we caught her for a brief interview to find out what she experience during her trip there.

Tell us how you felt before going to Isaloni in Milan, how excited were you? I was very excited but in view of the fact that I had to work on my final project assessments, I did not really get myself well prepared for the trip. It was my first trip to Europe, and it was a very wonderful and memorable one. I enjoyed visiting all the booths at the exhibition halls almost every day in Milan as the products displayed there really caught my attention. It was really hard to believe that I was able to come to the Isaloni held in Milan, a beautiful city which I have only managed to browse through in magazines. I was very impressed with all the booth designs and some of the new products which we could not see here. I enjoyed the most in the Design halls and Salone Satellite, where I saw a lot of new inventions and innovative ideas of the exhibitors from other countries. During the exhibition, I had the opportunity to learn a lot from our renowned celebrity designer, Mr. Eric Leong, and one of the leading sofa manufacturers, Mr. Richard Ko. Both of them taught me a lot on designs, productions as well as marketing strategies. Before the trip, I was a little afraid and anxious

Share with us a truly memorable experience when you were there. The most memorable experience during the stay there, I would say was the cancellation of our flight due to the volcano ash in Europe and all of us were stranded in Milan. In order to catch our connecting flight in Amsterdam, we had to travel for about 17 hours in a bus from Milan. That journey was indeed very exciting and turned out to be very rewarding for me as along the way, we had to pass through a few countries which included Belgium and Germany where we really enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

With such an exposure to European designers and their designs - did you learn a lot, got inspired? With such exposure to the Europeans and designs, I would say that I have gained a lot of knowledge and valuable experience through this wonderful trip. The designs of furniture are so different from what we have in Malaysia. Did I get inspired? Yes of course, especially with their unique booth designs, adopting the use of new types of materials and furniture designs. I believe that the knowledge which I have gained through the trip would certainly help me in my future career and the exposure to the new technology, designs and innovations has definitely enhanced my interest towards furniture design and I might move towards this field one day.

外劳申请特许

Foreign Workers

家具业者面对外 劳短缺的问题。

劳力短缺 阻碍经济发 展

FOREIGN LABOUR SHORTAGE DAMPENS ECONOMIC GROWTH “本会最能了解同业对外劳的要求,通过成立外劳 申请特许公司,协助同业统一引进外劳,审核外劳 素质,也简化申请手续。”

本会深入探讨,发现本地合法外劳人数太少, 造成家具业者面对严重的劳工短缺窘局。同 时,政府朝令夕改的外劳政策,也令业者蒙受 巨大财务损失。

本会计划提供全套服务,包括素质审核和短期 培训。同时也有助于减缓外劳犯罪问题。

更甚的是,目前通过代理公司引进外劳,雇主 与代理公司在外劳素质及薪水配套等各方面, 无法达致共识。有鉴于此,本会计划向政府申 请,成立“ 家具业外劳申请特许公司” ,以便 一劳永逸解决上述种种问题。

事实上,本地就业机会和外劳息息相关,每100 名外劳就需要30名本地员工管理下属。若当局 限制外劳人数,相对减少本地人就业机会。根 据内政部的统计,国内合法及非法外劳人数1 比1的比率估计,目前国内存有190万名非法外 劳。如果合法与非法外劳一样多,那国内就有 了380万名外劳,占国内总人口近15%。

本会认为,惟有本会最能了解同业对外劳的要 求。因此能够协助会员统一引进外劳,审核外劳 素质,并且也一站式处理外劳手续,简化申请手 续,会员不再需要通过中介公司申请外劳。

无可否认,我国发展还是需要借助外劳,但在 控制外劳人数于适当水平的同时,政府亦须有 效为劳力密集的本地和外资厂商提供足够的人 力资源,来协助他们的业务稳定发展。

Labour shortage has long been the biggest issue faced by Malaysian manufacturers. Although in recent years, the government has counted upon weaning employers from the dependence on foreign workers in order to create more job opportunities for locals, the fact remains that our fellow countrymen have scant interest in such laborious jobs. For Malaysia to increase its productivity and advance into the league of high income economies, we need migrant workers to fill vacancies that are shunned by locals. The government’s restriction on foreign labour is causing a major dilemma for the labour-intensive furniture industry. In view of the need for a long-term solution to this predicament, the association plans to apply for governmental approval to set up a concessionaire to employ foreign workers for the furniture industry. At present, foreign workers are brought in by agencies. The calibers of these workers and their salary packages are often the sources of contention between the employers and the agencies. With an unparalleled understanding of the requirements that the furniture industry has on foreign workers, the association is well-poised to serve as a single conduit through which members can bring in foreign workers as well as assess their standards. By providing such one-stop services, application processes to

employ foreign workers are streamlined and members no longer have to turn to agencies for their manpower needs. Services that the association planned for will be comprehensive, to the extent of even including short-term training. Efforts such as these not only help lower crime rates among foreign workers, but also protect employers from unscrupulous scamming agents. Investigations by the association have shed light upon the severe labour shortage faced by the furniture industry as a result of the gross undersupply of legal foreign workers. Besides this, unpredictable changes in foreign labour policies have caused enormous financial losses to industrial players. It is worth noting that the employment of foreign workers has a direct impact upon the employment of locals: for every 100 foreign workers employed, 30 jobs will be created for locals who are required to supervise them. A prolonged restriction on the numbers of foreign workers will reduce the job opportunities for local residents. According to statistics from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the ratio of legal foreign workers to illegal foreign workers stand at one is to one. Illegal foreign workers in Malaysia currently numbers 1.9 million. An equal proportion of legal workers put the total numbers of migrant workers at 3.8 million, which is close to 15% of Malaysia’s total population.

It is a fact that the country needs foreign labour in order to grow. While it is imperative to maintain an appropriate foreign workers population, the government also needs to efficiently provide labour-intensive local manufacturers and foreign-owned companies with sufficient manpower so as to facilitate the stable development of these businesses. In addition, failure of the government to come up with suitable policies on migrant workers meant that manufacturers are left without a concrete set of plans. The government had earlier announced its plans to increase the foreign worker levy for all sectors starting from next year. This bid to wean employers off foreign labour by making them shoulder the burden of increased taxation will only increase the manufacturing costs. Such a move will not address the root cause of the problem nor alleviate the labour shortage issue. It is impossible for the government to stem the inflow of migrant workers since there remain sectors of the industry that need to be fueled by foreign labor. The association hopes that the government appreciates the societal need for foreign labour and that a sufficient supply of foreign labour is necessary to maintain productivity and to enhance growth.

Entrepreneur Association (KLSFEA) was established on 19th June 2003. Since its establishment, the association has been playing various important roles to provide different interaction platforms for its members who can then share business opportunities and the plethora of resources.

人力资源发展 Human Resource Development

IN ORDER TO RETAIN TALENTS, GROOMING OF TALENTS IS A PREREQUISITE.

In this knowledge-based economy, human resources are one of the key factors for the value-added element of an organisation. For an organisation to maintain sustainable growth, the proper deployment and effective development of human resources is a topic that cannot be neglected.

The Milan International Furniture Fair is well known as one of the three largest global exhibitions. It does not just serve as a platform for furniture to be exported to Italy, it is also a furniture extravaganza which industry players from around the world look forward to every year.

The Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association (KLSFEA) plans to hold at least four seminars and training workshops each year. As the environment is rapidly changing, ideas and concepts are continuously updated and one is bound to lose the competitive edge and be weeded out if there is no continuous learning and upgrading.

Malaysia’s renowned interior designer, Eric Leong, is part of KLSFEA’s entourage to Milan. He conducted a seminar after the study trip to share with everyone the latest fashion trends and development patterns in the global furniture industry, as reflected through the Milan Furniture Fair, so that furniture industry counterparts can have access to the latest information. This will then help the local furniture industry attain international standards in the areas of furniture design and new market development.

The seminars and training workshops conducted by our association are focused on the upgrading of knowledge and skills of furniture industry players and their employees. At the same time, KLSFEA is also planning to develop an education institution for furniture studies in order to help workers upgrade their skills and fulfil job requirements.

The 2012 Olympic Games will lead to a growth of 2.5% in gross domestic production within the next three years. The Interior Birmingham 2010 held in UK has a history of 24 years. It was held in Birmingham National Exhibition Centre from 24th to 27th January in 2010. This four-day event attracted about 526 participating merchants from all over the world.

KLSFEA conducted a seminar titled “Retail Sales: Excellent Marketing Strategies” at the Malaysian Furniture and Furnishings Fair in 2010. Roger Bugh, chief consultant of Competition Hub, a corporate consultancy firm in Malaysia, shared his insights and marketing experiences with participants. Furniture industry players have benefited greatly from this seminar.

KLSFEA organised an observation and study trip to the 49th Milan International Furniture Fair in Italy from 14th to 20th April 2010. A total of 60 people went for the trip.

KLSFEA conducted a three-days-two-nights training workshop titled “Total Success Beyond the Peaks” from 12th to 14th November 2010. Y.K. Han, corporate trainer from Strategists

In the seminar titled “Marketing Team Management – The Key to Future Corporate Success” conducted by KLSFEA, Y.K. Han, corporate trainer from Strategists Hub, was invited to share with everyone the importance of employee training for an enterprise.

A THREE-DAYS-TWO-NIGHTS TRAINING WORKSHOP ON TOTAL SUCCESS BEYOND THE PEAKS

In this workshop, participants managed to develop their team spirit by forming groups and working collectively as a team. This brought about a paradigm shift in their attitude, thoughts and behaviour. They had a deeper understanding of their own potential and understood that they should become “the most loved assets and not a burden to their companies”. The workshop was mainly organised around interactive activities and simulations of reallife situations. Through these activities, participants got to understand and experience how the rule of survival of the fittest works in the corporate world.

Y.K. Han pointed out that to establish an efficient marketing team, employee training would be crucial. However, many businessmen feel that training is a waste of money and are reluctant to invest in the area of employee training. Such a concept needs to be changed though. In order to stimulate the growth of an enterprise and enhance its overall quality, there is a need to recognise the importance of grooming talents. In addition, he also pointed out that forming a good marketing team would be of great benefit to branding. This in turn creates a reliable brand name which people can relate to and it can help the company to gain a competitive edge, thereby entrenching the

In order to forge direct connections with international buyers and create business opportunities, all our members’ corporate information will be published on the website. Most importantly, with the support given by our association, international buyers will have greater confidence in the companies run by our members.

The contents of the website will include a brief introduction of our association, event updates, as well as information about the latest trends for furniture products and government policies.

KLSFEA also encourages corporate members to advertise and market their brands through the website. With the advertisements linked to the members’ corporate websites, this will be two-way publicity. Since the website is open to the world 24 hours each day, local and international buyers can access it anytime and it will be able to generate comprehensive and wide publicity.

The website serves another special purpose by acting as the bridge between furniture companies and the government. Many industry players are unable to have access

Moving forward, our association hopes to develop an e-commerce platform to enable local and international buyers to do online trading and other business transactions.

By then, all our corporate members will be able to upload information about their latest furniture products, models, price charts and company profiles onto our website. This will provide greater convenience for buyers or end consumers to shop online.

青年团栽培组织接班人 YOUTH GROUP TO GROOM FUTURE LEADERS FOR THE ORGANISATION

隆雪家具企业商会成立青年团,以栽培组织接班人 及加强组织发展,并希望藉由新一代的加入,为该 会注入新元素及力量, 业务更上一层楼。 青年团的宗旨? 青年团于2010年6月4日成立,最主要是栽培企业 家的下一代。让这些准接班人多学习,准备就 绪,将来大展拳脚,把家传的事业做大做强。 隆雪家具企业商会致力推动595计划,这是青 年团学习的绝佳机会。举例说,他们曾参与马 来西亚家具与装饰展销会,从中了解如何策划 展销会。同时他们也曾参与本会理事会会议, 更深入掌握商会组织,并且多聆听理事们前瞻 性的看法,对于他们的未来极有帮助。

大帮助。他们也可以扩大自己的社交圈子。因 为商会里的会员经营不同家具行业,大家可互 相认识交流。

接下来青年团会有什么计划? 青年团目前与新加坡家具企业商会接洽,希望 与对方举办交流会。同时青年团也计划参观工 厂、举办户外活动等。

青年团目前拥有27名团员。

为什么会想要成立青年团? 青年的冲劲及新思维,结合前辈的丰富经验, 才能擦出新火花。这除了为本会注入生气外, 也能奠定未来的发展。在前辈功成身退时,双 方能够顺利交棒,避免出现青黄不接的局面。 惟有这样,商会才能持续发展。

一般上,青年团扮演辅助角色,协助总会的活 动。由他们主筹的多是较小型的活动,如会员 联谊日。将来,他们掌握筹备过程与运作后, 才能真正执行重点活动。

参加青年团的好处是什么? 青年们有机会参与各种大型活动的运作,掌握 筹备知识。这对他们将来经营自己的公司有莫

The main objective of establishing the Youth Group is to nurture the next generation and provide them with the relevant training so that they can take over the reins in time to come. As there have been many suggestions mooted in KLSFEA, such as the 55 plan and our long-term development plans, we can take this opportunity to let the youths learn about adapting to the long-term plans of KLSFEA. For example, by letting the Youth Group take part in the preparation works for MF3, we hope that they can learn more about organising a large-scale exhibition.

When was the Youth Group established?

加入青年团的资格与条件?

青年团目前仍处于成立初期,属于筹委会性质, 我们正积极吸纳会员,以便壮大力量。在时机 成熟后,理事会将在会员大会上通过,修改章 程,纳入青年团细则,然后正式向社团注册局 提出申请,过后就进行选举,遴选领导层。

By bringing in new blood, it is hoped that there would be an infusion of new ideas and renewed strength to bring the furniture business to greater heights.

Why was there the intention to establish a Youth Group?

青年团团长 李光森 Eric Lee In any profession, youths are the symbol of hope for future development. So putting in more efforts to nurture the young generation and giving them the room to realise their potential should be something that various industries should do. With the establishment of the Youth Group organising committee, the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association (KLSFEA) hopes to groom the next generation of leaders and enhance the development of the organisation.

All the plans made in KLSFEA are long-term plans. Our five-year plans and our ten-year plans are fine examples. Furthermore, the average age of our members is about 40 to 50 years old. Many of them are nearing the age of retirement. So we hope to take this opportunity to groom new blood so that they are able to take over the reins at a suitable time in future.

What are the criteria for joining the Youth Group? The Youth Group welcomes members aged between 18 to 35 years old or the children of existing members into its organisation. Currently, the Youth Group is still in its infancy stage and we foresee the active recruitment of more members. When the time is ripe, the Council will approve the amendment of the KLSFEA

constitution at the Annual Members Conference and incorporate the rules and regulations of the Youth Group into the constitution. Subsequently, we will make a formal application at the Registry of Societies and hold an election to select the Youth Group leadership.

How was the registration response for the Youth Group? Currently, we have 27 Youth Group members. The response is considered quite enthusiastic.

What are the KLSFEA plans that the Youth Group will be involved in? Generally, the Youth Group will play a complementary role. For the time being, the Youth Group will not be fully in charge of mega plans, rather, we will start by entrusting the Youth Group with the responsibility of preparing for small-scale events like members’ get-together sessions, meal gatherings, etc. The main KLSFEA committee will still be the organiser for large-scale events. However, we will get the Youth Group involved so that they can understand more about our operations and preparation process.

Have any activities been organised since the Youth Group was established? The members’ carnival, which just ended, was organised by the Youth Group. From the design of the invitation cards to programme scheduling and performances, all the preparation works were fully entrusted to the Youth Group. The results were very invigorating and we could see the dynamism and hard work put in by the Youth Group during the preparation process. That was exactly what we wanted to achieve when we established the Youth Group.

Will you organise any specific activity to recruit new members? What are the advantages of joining the Youth Group? To cite an example, we have organised a field trip to visit the furniture laboratory at the Malaysia Forestry Department so that members could have a deeper understanding of furniture testing services. This has made Youth Group members understand that, besides being able to learn from their seniors, joining the Youth Group can also let them widen their horizons through the many activities we organise.

When they have the opportunity to be involved in various large-scale activities, they can also enhance their knowledge about the operations and preparation process behind these activities. Such knowledge would definitely be useful when they are managing their own companies in future. Such activities can also help them widen their social circles. As KLSFEA members manage different furniture businesses, everyone can get to know one another better and learn from one another.

What are the future plans for the Youth Group? The primary goal of the Youth Group is to complement the KLSFEA manifesto, so most of the time, we will be playing a supporting role. Currently, the Youth Group is in liaisons with overseas organisations such as the Youth Group of the Singapore Furniture Industries Council. We hope to organise exchange sessions to enhance mutual understanding and learn from one another.

推动福利与文教活动 PROMOTE WELFARE ACTIVITIES AND SHAPE ETHOS

本会积极推动文教活动,以丰富会员的生活涵 养及知识,并促进他们之间的互动与联系,更 通过福利活动来协助社会弱势族群,实现取之 社会、用之社会的理念。 本会定于每个月首个周六举办会员联谊日,邀 请会员到来聚餐及交流。同时每年都举办会员 家庭旅行团,游览以本地为主的旅游胜地。 在佳节来临时,本会也不忘孤苦无依的人士。 今年年初,本会举办新春施赠贫老活动,然后 在中秋节来临时,特地前往双溪毛糯麻风病院 派月饼给病患,让他们感受社会温暖。 KLSFEA has been actively promoting ethosshaping education activities to enrich the lives of members, help them better appreciate the lessons that life has to offer and enhance mutual interaction and communication. KLSFEA has also organised social welfare

activities to help disadvantaged groups and do our part for the society that has nurtured our growth. The first Saturday of each month has been set as the Members’ Gathering Day for KLSFEA. On this day, members are invited for meals and get-togethers. Besides that, we also organise annual family tours for members who can enjoy visits to the main tourist attractions in Malaysia. While we are celebrating festive occasions, we have not forgotten about those who are lonely and helpless. Earlier this year, KLSFEA organised an event to offer gifts to poor old folks during Chinese New Year. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we also went to Sungai Buloh Leprosy Settlement to deliver mooncakes to patients, so that they could feel the warmth in society.

探访麻风病院 中秋节献爱心 BRINGING CHEER TO A LEPROSARIUM

隆雪家具企业商会于2010年9月4日,前往国家麻风病控制中心( 前称双溪毛糯麻风病院 ),派发月饼、水果及饼干给病患,让他 们感受中秋佳节的温馨,同时也加强会员及同 业间的互动。 本会会员也借此机会与病患交流,聆听他们 的心声及了解他们的心情。本会希望通过类 似的慈善活动,增进对弱势族群的关怀与资 助,并发挥抛砖引玉的效果,吸引更多人支 持慈善活动。 值得一提的是,本会于今年6月份成立青年团 (筹委会),这次是由青年团主力推动慈善活 动,培育他们的关怀社会的理念,并且也让他 们了解麻风院的历史背景。 据了解,麻风病院设立于1930年,占地562 亩,目前,拥有逾200名病患。在疾病的高峰 KLSFEA 58

interact with the patients and to understand their thoughts and feelings. Through such charity drives, the association aims to promote concern and funding for the underprivileged. The association also hopes that its modest efforts can rally support for charity work. It is worthwhile to note that the visit was mainly organized by the association’s Youth Wing (Organising Committee) which was set up in June this year. While engaging in charity helps instill empathy into the value system of the youths, the visit has also allowed them to understand the historical background of the leprosarium. The leprosarium was built in 1930 on an area of 562 acres. Currently housing over 200 patients, it once saw more than 2000 residents at the peak of the epidemic. Known euphemistically as the “Valley of Hope”, the alias of the leprosarium reflects the yearnings of the patients to overcome their illness and lead normal lives.

期 , 入 住 病人 高 达 逾 2000人 。 它拥 有 一 个美 丽的名称“ 希望之谷” ,反映病患希望战胜病 魔、过普通人生活的渴望。 麻风病院乃由人性角度出发治疗麻风病患的疗 养院,其基本概念是创造一个麻风病人自供自 足的环境,以便被社会唾弃的麻风病患可以在 没有歧视的环境中,从容自在地生活。院内的 设备齐全,除了有医院和供病人住宿的屋子、 还有警察局、邮政局、研究中心、农场、膜拜 场所,社交场所、学校、墓场等等。 不过,麻风病院难逃发展洪流,于2007年被国 立玛拉工艺大学发展商推倒部份建筑物,进行 发展,破坏病患世外桃源般的宁静居住环境。

尽管麻风病院已失去原有面貌,然而对于病患 而言,它仍是惟一的栖身之所。本会藉由此次 的拜访,了解到社会上被遗弃的这群人,需要 大家的帮助与爱心。 On 4 September 2010, members of the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association visited the National Leprosy Control Centre (previously known as Sungai Buloh Leprosarium) and distributed mooncakes, fruits and biscuits to the patients. The visit not only brought the cheer of the midautumn festival to the patients, but promoted fellowship within the guild as well. The members also took the opportunity to

Leprosariums are essentially nursing homes for lepers that have evolved out of a humanitarian need to create a self-sufficient microcosm in which patients spurned by society can live confidently in an environment free from prejudice. The National Leprosy Control Centre contains conveniences of every sort. Other than healthcare facilities and accommodation for the patients, it also houses a police station, a post office, a research centre, farms, religious buildings, a community centre, a school and cemeteries. However in 2007, the leprosarium had to make way for development when construction of the Mara University of Technology meant that some parts of the lazar house had to be demolished. The patients lost what was once a tranquil and idyllic abode. Although the leprosarium is now a shadow of its former self, for its inhabitants, it remains nevertheless the only place that they can call home. The visit has allowed the association to be aware of the help and compassion that is needed by these long-forsaken members of our society.

会员联谊 增进感情

GETTING MEMBERS TOGETHER TO IMPROVE TIES 隆雪家具企业商会定于每个月的首个周六,举办“会员联谊日”,主题为“分享 与交流,激发与成长”,公开给理事、会员及同业参与,促进交流及增进情谊, 同时也为大家创造更多合作契机。

本会于2010年6月4日举办首次会员联谊日, 同日也举办雪州国际家具城交流会,及宣布成 立青年团(筹委会)。 7月份的会员联谊日,本会着重于让会员们轻 松交流,一面享用茶点,一面分享对家具行业 的展望,及目前所面对的问题,借此凝聚大家 的力量,共商对策。 8月份的会员联谊日,本会举办“ 第3届马来 西 亚 家 具 与 装 饰 展 销 会 -购 买 与赢 奖 ” 颁 奖 礼,11名幸运儿前来领取奖品,包括轿车、电 器、手机等等,并吸引众多会员前来观礼,场 面热闹。 9月份,本会别出心裁,安排Qinetics Solutions Bhd呈献“ 2011年你不得不知道的 5 大家具行业趋势网站” ,让会员掌握科技资 讯,在全球化的竞争中得以脱颖而出。 本会更于11月份,举办一场外劳课题交流会, 聆听同业所面对的外劳问题,包括非法外劳合 法化、治安问题、申请合法外劳的阻力等等, 以便收集大家的意见,呈交给相关部门。 本会已把会员联谊日,列为常月活动,将来会 视情况而定,增加至每周一次,并计划于2012 年成立会员俱乐部。 The Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Assocation (KLSFEA) has set

aside the first Saturday of every month to be a Members’ Gathering Day. Executive Council members, ordinary members and fellow industry players are welcome to join the gathering, which is focused on the theme of “Sharing and Interactions for Motivation and Growth”. KLSFEA also hopes to facilitate exchanges, improve friendship ties and create collaboration opportunities for everyone through the gathering. The first Members’ Gathering Day was held on 4th June 2010. On the same day, KLSFEA also organised an exchange session for the proposed Selangor International Furniture Hub and announced the establishment of its Youth Wing organising committee. The Members’ Gathering Day in July was organised with the primary intention of creating relaxed vibes for casual interactions. Members shared their outlook for the furniture industry and discussed current problems while tucking into refreshments. Through this occasion, KLSFEA hoped to consolidate everyone’s strength to map out future business strategies. For the Members’ Gathering Day in August, KLSEFA put together a prize presentation ceremony for the 3rd Malaysia Furniture and Furnishings Fair, where 11 lucky winners who purchased merchandise at the fair got to walk away with attractive prizes such as luxurious

vehicles, electrical appliances and mobile phones. The event attracted many members and created a bustling scene. KLSFEA upped a notch on innovation in September and arranged for Qinetics Solutions Bhd to give a presentation on what industry players needed to know – the top five websites that are going to lead the trend in the furniture industry in 2011. By giving members access to this technical information, KLSFEA hoped to empower them with the competitive edge to excel in the global economy. In November, KLSFEA even went the extra mile to organise an exchange session to discuss the foreign labour issue. As industry players shared the foreign labour problems that they faced, including the legalisation of illegal foreign labour, security problems and obstacles in applying for legal foreign labour permits, KLSFEA managed to gain a better understanding of everyone’s opinions and it would prepare a consolidated report to be presented to the relevant government authorities. The Members’ Gathering Day has been listed as a monthly event at KLSFEA and the association may increase the frequency to once a week depending on future conditions. KLSFEA also plans to establish a membership club in 2012.

within 50 km from Port Klang. The plan received the enthusiastic response from the industry and attracted more than 130 vendors to sign up. The Council hopes that the Furniture City would have gathered all the furniture enterprises, upstream and downstream industries and related industries in order to further push Malaysia’s furniture industry into the international arena and promote the Selangor’s economic development. At the same time, it is in tandem with Selangor government’s scheme to move illegal factories into the furniture city and thereby allowing legalisation.

5. To focus on the raw materials market and to establish the inventory system 6. To set up a Brand Exhibition Centre

The Council believes that with the centralisation of the furniture industry , it will help create a collective branding to enhance the overall competitiveness of Malaysian furniture.

Furniture City will develop a one-stop service for furniture industry, such as manufacturing and training to provide a conducive and contemporary environment for investment.

FURNITURE CITY INVESTMENT CONTENT

Furniture City will set up a quality control centre and a training centre to improve the competitiveness and quality of local furniture manufacturers in the industry. The growth rate of the furniture industry is expected to increase by 50%, and the Furniture City is set to become a landmark of Selangor that enhances the status of furniture exports.

Selangor International Furniture City is a major investment project costing around RMB 20 to 30 billion. Once the Furniture City is completed, it is expected to boost the economy and bring in a turnover of RMB 30 to 40 billion. It will lead the development of the furniture industry, and create more job opportunities for the locals as well. Selangor International Furniture City development priorities are as follows: 1. To concentrate on upstream and downstream furniture industry 2. To establish a permanent International Exhibition Hall 3. To establish manpower training centres and a Design College 4. To establish a centre for wholesale and retail in furniture industry

The one-stop furniture city will also provide convenience to foreign buyers while improving overall efficiency.

to be established in Malaysia, and this has made Selangor the focus of the furniture industry in Southeast Asia while attracting international buyers and stimulating the state’s tourism industry. Meanwhile, the furniture city brings these ten important benefits: Target of 15 billion foreign exchange Regulatory development to enhance international competitiveness Complete legalisation of the industry to facilitate expansion Reduce the government’s administrative cost Create brands that can go global Increase exports Having the edge of a conducive environment for development Centralisation of resources to save costs To achieve synergy Harmony between politics and business

THE BENEFITS OF FURNITURE CITY Furniture City promotes the emergence of new patterns in the local furniture industry, such as an increase incompetitiveness, globalisation of local brands, creation of brand depth, standardisation in management and the improvement of Selangor’s economy.

This is a win-win situation that benefits all partieswhile the council is able to realise their dream. While the enterprises have the best environment for expansion, the state government also reaps multiple benefits from the initiative.

MATRADE一直关注以及了解业界所面对的问 题,并尽力的提供合适方案解决。 M A T R A DE 也 会 和 海 外 办 事 处 直 接 联 系 , 以了解海外市场最新的资讯以及规章,并 把 这 些 消 息发放给国内业者。这些资料对 中小型企业来说可是非常重要的;往往大部 分的中小型业者都会忽略海外市场的最新动 向,因此通过MATRADE的官方网站,商家 可以轻易的获得最新的信息、市场状况或趋 势、贸易政策、商机、出口条规等资料。换 句话说,这一个网站就是政府和业者联系 的桥梁。

其实,我国家具业者现在面临最大挑战就是, 如何在国际市场保持竞争力?现在许多国家都 开始生产家具,因此我们必须正视这一个问题 并评估这些开始在市场上窜起的竞争对象。在 这一个年代,所有的东西都是讲究包装和品 牌,眼看竞争逐步加剧,许多海外家具企业以 品牌包装闯出一个天地,因此这就是为什么我们 一直鼓励国内业者必须建立自身的品牌。因为只 有成功的包装和品牌才能吸引顾客购买产品。 消费者品牌意识的增强,越来越多的企业通过 打广告、参加展销会朔造品牌形象。未来家具

市场竞争不仅是卖产品更是卖品牌。品牌不只 是形象,更是品质保证。因此MATRADE鼓励 商家建立自己品牌,也通过各种方式加深消费 者对产品的认知度。 不过在建立品牌之前,我们也面临艰巨的苦 难,因为如何在数以千计的家具企业中进行分 类?每一个都有不同等级的竞争力,不同优劣 势,到底哪一点才是我们的优势?所以我们就 必须建立一个能站稳海外市场的跳板。无可 否认,国内丰富的天然资源优势是本地家具业 的踏脚石;有了基本的开拓市场条件,如何从 国内跳出海外市场是很重要的。在这样的情况 下,包装就是一个跳板。 根据数据统计,在过去一年的中小型企业的 总收 入大约为 7.9千万, 不过单单在今 年上半 年国内家具业的收入已经达到 3.9千万。这 已经显示全球经济正在复苏中,生活水准也 跟着提升,建筑业恢复正常,连带家具业也 开始逐步进入佳境;发展商起房子,人们买 房子,就是需要家具的时候。政府一直以各 种的方式呼吁国人,买家具应首选本地家具 产品。面对国外的竞争者以及顾客善变的选 择,必须不断推出各种宣传方案,刺激本地 的家具业。 为了提高本地业者参与出口市场,甚至鼓 励业者进军海外市场,在今年MATRADE特 别邀 请国内5家家具企业 前往波兰参 加展览 会。虽然只有5家公司获邀参加,不过这显示 MATRADE在推广本地家具业冲出国际的恒心 及努力。 此外,MATRADE还特别组团到纽约参加一个 一对一的市场分析研讨会。MATRADE在纽约 的海外办事处安排参与的公司和海外公司进行 商务会议或者商讨未来的合作大计;成功与 否,都视乎国内家具业在海外市场的能力。除 了纽约和波兰,MATRADE曾组团到加拿大多 伦多、美国、澳洲墨尔本进行市场考察。通过 考察,海外企业都能更进一步了解大马家具业 的实力发展。

MATRADE ASSISTS SMES’ EXPANSION INTO OVERSEAS MARKET With growing brand awareness among consumers, the need for creating a unique branding has posed a new challenge for enterprises. Thus, enterprises has sought to revamp their image through advertising and participation in trade fairs. In the future of furniture market, the competition is beyond selling products; selling the brand well means customer loyalty. A good branding will boost image of the enterprise and is a seal of quality assurance. Therefore, MATRADE encourages businesses to establish their own brand and initiate means to enhance consumer awareness of products. Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) was established in March 1993 as a statutory agency under the Ministry of International Trade Industry (MITI). As Malaysia’s national export promotion agency, MATRADE is responsible for assisting Malaysian companies succeed in the international market. MATRADE’s vision of making Malaysia the premier exporting nation is paired with its mission to develop and promote Malaysia’s exports to the world. MATRADE serves to promote Malaysia’s external trade with particular emphasis on the exportofmanufacturedandsemi-manufactured

products and services. In addition, MATRADE formulates and implements export marketing strategies and trade promotion activities to increase Malaysia’s furniture exports; one of the strategies is to expand exhibitions beyond the domestic arena for opportunities to promote Malaysia’s product overseas. MATRADE is also actively involved in assisting foreign companies to source for suppliers of Malaysian products and services, with worldwide representation at 40 locations in major commercial cities. MATRADE undertakes the role of market research, and creates a comprehensive database of information for the development and improvement of Malaysia’s trade. It also organizes training programmes to enhance the marketing skills of Malaysian exporters for international liaisons, promote and assist in services related to trade for timely dissemination, relevant information and market

此外,MATRADE举办的大马国际贸易博览会 (INTRADE),专门为无法亲自到访其它国 家接触买家的中小企业,提供一个平台让他们 向国际市场宣传他们的产品和服务。尤其是对 想尝试出口业务、却又面对资金有限的小型企 业来说,这是一个很好的贸易契机。 MATRADE鼓励本地家具企业注册成为会员, 会员可免费享用资料室的各项资讯。业者受促 好好利用MATRADE提供的各项便利,从而扩 展业务至海外大展拳脚。

intelligence to help Malaysian companies gain a competitive edge in foreign markets. MATRADE shares a keen concern with the problems faced by the industry and aims to provide effective solutions to them. MATRADE will contact the overseas offices directly to get the latest information and regulations of overseas markets, then distribute these messages to the domestic industry. These data are very important for many of the small and medium enterprises that lack knowledge in and exposure to the latest trends in overseas markets. Thus, with MATRADE’s official website, traders can easily access the latest information, market conditions or trends, trade policies, business opportunities, export regulations and other data. In other words, this site is a bridge between the Government and the industry. An abundance of natural resources has given Malaysia the edge in the furniture industry; the Government is also committed to promoting the development of the industry. Malaysia’s furniture exports market has already garnered recognition in the international market with its international ranking as the top eighth.The industry should make full use of this gateway to more opportunities for a firmer footing in the international market.

international branding. this is why we have been encouraging domestic organisations to establish their own brands. We believe that packaging and branding plays an important part in to attracting and retaining the customers to buy the products.

has been urging people to buy local furniture instead of foreign products. When it comes to international competition and fickle customers, we must continue to introduce various promotional programmes in order to stimulate the local furniture industry.

Due to the consumer’s brand awareness have increases; branding becomes a new challenge for enterprises. Thus, more and more enterprises try to create their image through advertising and participation in trade fairs. In the future of furniture market, they are not only need to compete with their selling products but also to sell the brand. A good branding indicates the images of the enterprise and the quality assurance. Therefore, MATRADE encourages businesses to establish their own brand and ways to enhance consumer awareness of products. (as edited in the introduction)

Inordertoimprovetheinvolvementandexpansion of local businesses in overseas markets, MATRADE has invited five domestic furniture companies to participate in an exhibition in Poland this year. Despite the small participating group, it has showed the perseverance and hard work of MATRADE in promoting the local furniture industry internationally.

However, before building the brand, the difficulty is how we are able to stand out from the thousands of furniture enterprises in the market.. Each of them has different levels of competitiveness, as well as different strengths and weaknesses. What then is our edge over them? First of all, Malaysia’s rich natural resources provide the stepping stone for the local furniture industry; with this basic yet valuable marketing advantage, it is crucial for domestic organisations to use this as a successful foray into the international scene. In addition, packaging could also be a way to launch an entry into overseas market. According to statistics, the total revenue of SMEs comes up to about RMB 7.9 million in the past year. However, in the first half of the year alone, the domestic furniture industry revenue has reached RMB 3.9 million. It has been shown that the global economy is recovering, the standard of living is improving, the construction industry is back to normal, and the furniture industry is making a gradual comeback. Developers have started construction of houses, and people will need furniture for their new homes The Government

In addition, MATRADE has also sent a delegation to attend a one-to-one market analysis seminar in New York. MATRADE’s overseas offices in New York have arranged for the participation of both Malaysia and New York companies for a discussion of plans for future cooperation. The success of this collaboration very much depends on the performance of the domestic furniture industry in overseas markets. Besides New York and Poland, MATRADE has also sent delegations to Toronto, Canada, United States, and Australia Melbourne for market research. Through investigation, foreign enterprises can have a better understanding of the strength of the Malaysian furniture industry development. For those small and medium enterprises that do not have the chance to meet potential buyers overseas, MATRADE has organised Malaysia International Trade Fair (INTRADE), mainly for this particular group of companies to promote their products and services to international buyers. This is an excellent trade opportunity for companies keen to export but has limited funds to do so. MATRADE encourages local furniture organisations to register as members tofor free access to the Resource Library and make good use of the facilities provided by MATRADE as a first step towards expanding business into the international arena.

In fact, Malaysia’s furniture industry is facing the biggest challenge on how to remain competitive in the international market. Many other countries have begun to produce furniture, and there is a pertinent need to address the influx of new competitors in the market. Moreover the present focus also includes packaging and branding. Despite the booming number of competitors in the market, many foreign furniture enterprises have attained success by establishing KLSFEA 66

PEKA SAFEGUARDS THE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS OF THE INDUSTRY

“Furniture industries should not just be an ordinary business; instead, it should focus all efforts on superior product design, innovation with research and development and to create an internationally renowned brand!”

具经营者协会都会定时和日本、韩国、中国, 美国等国家代表进行密切交流。 主要目的是,向他国学习先进的制造技术,及 向外国宣传我国的家具业。 除此之外,交流也是为了确保本地家具业,将 能拥有长期的进口材料供应。 Wahid Jaafar透露,协会成员和其他国家保持 良好关系,有者关系甚至维持了将近30年,因 此可以优惠价来购买材料。 同时,他指出,在进口材料方面,因为每一次 都必须一次性运送非常庞大的数量,资金高 昂,一些小公司根本无法独立支撑如此庞大的 开销。 除此之外,他也透露,进口材料还要经过海关 严格的审批和繁琐的手续,这就是商家都会面 临的问题和阻扰。

国际同业竞争剧烈 面对中国及越南家具业 的崛起,本地的家具业 无可避免受到冲击。 Wahid Jaafar表示,我国政府经济门户开放, 利弊兼有之。然而在政府“ 过于开放” 进口产 品,甚至豁免征收税务时,令入口家具的价格 减低,结果导致本地家具业受冲击。 他希望政府修改政策,严管货品入口申请,以 保障本地业者的利益。

Officially established in 1991, the Association of Malaysian Bumiputra Timber and Furniture Entrepreneurs, also known as Persatuan Pengusaha Kayu-Kayan dan Perabot Bumiputra Malaysia (PEKA), is the brainchild of a group of bumiputra businessmen and the only bumiputra association in Malaysia to be accredited by the Malaysian Timber Industry Board. With their interests safeguarded, bumiputra businessmen can obtain assistance provided by the association and gain an edge in the furniture industry that is steeped in intense competition. At the same time, the association seeks to unite bumiputras and form a cohesive entity to enhance their status in the local furniture industry. The furniture industry has always been dependent on the employment of foreign labour. However, with the current strict measures implemented by the government to control the application of foreign labour permits, as well as plans to increase the levies and security deposits and set a minimum wage limit for foreign labour, the furniture industry has been deeply affected and the most apparent issue of manpower resource shortages has surfaced. En. Haji Ir.Wahid B Jaafar, President of PEKA, indicated that it was a double whammy for the furniture industry as it needed to grapple with intense market competition and face the problem of foreign labour shortages at the same time. In his view, many furniture businessmen only resorted to hiring foreign labour in bulk as they were unable to hire locals for the jobs, and most of their foreign labour came from Bangladesh and Indonesia. Currently, PEKA has 150 members in all. In terms of his future aspirations for the association, En. Haji hopes that members do not just view the furniture business as an ordinary business. He said this business placed great

emphasis on product design and continuous innovation and enhancements would be needed to establish an internationally renowned brand. In addition, PEKA is stepping up on collaborations with the Malaysia Institute of Research and Development to conceptualise new products. To forge a gateway to the world, PEKA conducts discussions and exchanges with industry players from Japan, Korea, China, US and other countries from time to time. Besides taking a cue from the advanced manufacturing technology adopted by other countries, PEKA also seeks to promote the advantages of Malaysia’s furniture industry to our counterparts. The close interactions serve to ensure that the local furniture industry can have a long term supply of imported materials. En. Haji revealed that PEKA members had always maintained a good relationship with other countries, with some dating back 30 years, and that was why PEKA members were able to obtain rebates in material prices and discounts in material acquisition. According to En. Haji, every time when there is a need to import materials, the one-off transportation of such enormous volume would incur huge costs which some small companies are unable to afford. Therefore, he suggested that members could import materials as a group. He also revealed that individual businessmen would be faced with the problems and obstacles posed by tedious procedures when the imported materials needed to go through strict examination by the customs and immigration authorities. Faced with the rise of China’s and Vietnam’s furniture industries, the local furniture industry is undoubtedly feeling the heat. En. Haji predicted that there would be greater competition in the local furniture industry in future and the economic liberalisation policies adopted by the government would also have an impact on Malaysia businessmen. In his opinion, the stance taken on product importation is too liberal and there is even total tax relief for retail goods, thus paving the way for overseas furniture businessmen to enter the local market and jeopardise the local furniture industry with their cost advantages. En. Haji hopes that the government can revise its policies and impose strict controls on applications for product importation.

BATIK FURNITURE Yayasan Budi Penyayang Malaysia (known as PENYAYANG) set up by Allahyarham YABhg. Tun Endon Mahmood at year 2000. After YABhg. Tun Endon passed away in 2005, her daughter, YBhg. Puan Nori Abdullah took over as Chairman while her son YBhg. Dato’ Kamaluddin Abdullah is one of the Trustees of PENYAYANG. PENYAYANG is a Foundation incorporated for the purposes of receiving donations, subscriptions or otherwise, and to administer such funds for education, public welfare, research, health, medical and other charitable purposes for the benefit of needy Malaysian, irrespective of color, race or creed. PENYAYANG aspires to bring cheer and joy to the less fortunate and disadvantaged Malaysians. Our logo, a graphic representation of two individuals, encapsulates the idea of support. The red icon symbolizes the party in need, while the blue icon represents the helping hand. Both icons have broad smiles - the smile of the recipient receiving appropriate assistance and the smile of the caring donor. The main focus of PENYAYANG is to promote and nurture the development of “Keluarga Bahagia” so as to ensure the development and sustenance of Malaysia as a dynamic and progressive nation. Concurrently, the Foundation aspires to facilitate individuals or groups of people to develop their potentials as productive and responsible citizens through the provision of appropriate assistance. The Foundationis fondlyreferred to as “Penyayang”. Among its many objectives of Penyayang are to provide for and assist individuals with special needs, to foster, develop, promote

furniture. Batik designers need to understand how batik can be used for furniture making.

The Malaysia Batik – Crafted For The World movement was launched in September 2003 by the late Tun Endon Mahmood who loved the crafts and heritage of Malaysia. One of the objectives of the movement is to encourage innovation in design, use of materials and technology towards the betterment of the batik industry. We want to see the diversification of the batik products, not only in clothing.

Malaysia batik is usually created by using the wax resist method of designing fabric. Wax can be applied by drawing (batik tulis created using the ‘tjanting’), by using a hand block and, more recently, by using a wide range of tools. Batik tulis allows for greater freedom of artistic expression and has been the form most favoured by batik makers in Malaysia. Since batik is Malaysia’s culture, batik furniture will carry a Malaysian identity.

For the MF3 exhibition, KLSFEA has invited PENYAYANG to promote furniture made with batik. PENYAYANG will also have the Kuala Lumpur International Batik (KLIB) Convention & Exhibition in 2011 and we will invite KLSFEA to come and showcase how batik can be used for furniture. KLIB 2011 will help develop an international network of batik enthusiasts, share techniques, innovations, technology and marketing strategies for the batik craft and industry. In the past, 18 countries participated in this KLIB convention. It will be good for other countries to see how Malaysia is using batik in furniture making. There is great potential in the use of batik for furniture making. It is important that the designs produced are suitable for furniture. Design for clothing may not be appropriate for

We have no idea how batik producers will react to this new use for batik. We haven’t spoken to many but I think they will be excited when we talk about this. They will like the idea and I think they will want to produce if they know how the furniture-makers are going to use their batik. In Malaysia, many people have rooms with special themes in their houses, such as Japanese room, Chinese room so why can’t they have a Batik room? The late Tun Endon, had a Batik room. So locally, the idea of batik furniture will be accepted. However, internationally it may take some persuading. Suitable choice of textile/fabric and design in batik may attract international market.

DISCARD THE RED BOTTLE CONCEPT FOR A NEW BLUE BOTTLE PARADIGM TO ENHANCE BRANDING “Training Incurs Costs but Lack of Training Incurs Greater Loss. Without properly trained employees, it would be impossible to retain customers. On the contrary, it would result in a loss of customers…” Companies of the past generation were good at capitalising on timely opportunities and making best use of geographical benefits to enhance corporate competitiveness and establish their market share. In the cold war period from 1945 to 1980 when demand was greater than supply, it was easy to sell any product. In the peaceful years from 1980 to

1998, consumers learnt the art of consumption and were introduced to a plethora of choices. It was an era where excellent services and products gained a competitive edge. However, in the later half of the peaceful era, from 1998 to 2001, there was huge surplus compared

to demand. Not only did consumers learn to compare products from various companies, they were also inclining towards individual taste and needs. In this age, capitalising on timely opportunities and making use of geographical benefits did not necessarily guarantee success. Furthermore, such opportunities had greatly diminished. As a result, working with the right people has become a key element in today’s world. Without the people element, it would be difficult for enterprises to re-construct an environment that would bring about timely opportunities and geographical benefits. In addition, with intensifying competition and increasing homogenisation in the global market, the environment makes it impossible for any one company to be always at the right place at the right time. The right people will then become the key factor in maintaining core competitiveness for modern enterprises.

there will still be a steady increase in export volume due to huge future demands and Malaysia’s geographical advantages, thanks to the abundance of natural resources in this country. Transformation of the industry is the only area that needs to be improved as the industry needs to go beyond manufacturing to embrace creative processes and get up to speed by leveraging on the green movement that is taking the world by storm. These fundamental factors of timely opportunities and geographical benefits need to be consolidated and local resources need to be incorporated to accentuate the value-added qualities. This will in turn enhance brand competitiveness in the furniture industry. I believe that Malaysia’s furniture industry still has a lot of potential for growth where international trade is concerned.

How do you view the development trend for Malaysia’s furniture industry? Malaysia’s furniture industry is ranked

How important is it for a management system to be established? Establishing a management system is very important. In Malaysia, many enterprises in

second in Asia in terms of its export volume. Compared to China, there is still a vast difference. Malaysia’s furniture industry is ranked tenth in the global furniture sales ranking, accounting for three percent of total sales. Judging by the statistical data,

the furniture industry face such a problem. Although their businesses are of a substantial scale in terms of operations and they have abundant human resources, they do not have a clear system for managing internal work duties and the structure is also not institutionalised,

standardised or systemised. In today’s world where global competition is getting more intense, profit margins are shrinking. It is only with an efficient management system that costs can be reduced and productivity increased. This will then lead to greater profits. Generally, many proprietors and management teams understand the importance of having a management system, but lack the knowledge

time, there is a need to establish a macro environment that is conducive for group learning. There is also a need to leverage on the professionalism of external sources to establish a progressive training system that can enhance the leadership’s understanding of management knowledge and concepts. When there can be a standardised approach, corporate management efficiency can be

enhance its overall quality, there is a need to recognise the importance of grooming talents. “Training incurs costs but lack of training incurs greater loss. Without properly trained employees, it would be impossible to retain customers. On the contrary, it would result in a loss of customers…” What management advice can you provide to the furniture industry? From what I see, the greatest issue in the current structure and management of many enterprises is the lack of clarity in the job scope and work duties of employees. Many enterprises even neglect the importance of the marketing and customer service departments. Setting up factories and manufacturing products will not make money. You will only make money when you sell those products. So there is a need to adopt proper marketing strategies so that sales personnel can be well equipped to market and sell the products and provide good customer service. Actually, we entered the export market much earlier than China did. The biggest problem in Malaysia’s furniture industry does not lie

and experience in systematic execution. The concept appears to be simple, yet it is difficult to put into action. As a result, these companies will need to leverage on professional assistance from external sources. How can management standards be enhanced in the furniture industry? Traditionally, in the business world, the management teams of many small and medium enterprises mainly rely on experience and their own insights to manage the businesses. They lack professional management expertise and do not have teams of executives to assist them. As an enterprise grows, the managing director will realise that his knowledge and abilities are limited and that he does not have enough time to handle the multitude of tasks. When the managing director has experience but lack the knowledge of a management system, he will not be able to leverage on his experience to build a systematic and efficient model. Even if there is a sound management system that complies with ISO standards, the problem of human resources will still exist if the company fails to set in place a series of systematic approaches to groom talents. To upgrade their management standards, small and medium enterprises should continue to acquire new knowledge and at the same

enhanced through continuous learning and training. How important is it to groom talents? In future, enterprises will need to rely on talents to compete with one another. Whichever company with talents will be the one to succeed. Placing emphasis on the grooming of talents is the key element of success that is common to the top 500 strongest companies in the world. Regrettably, many companies are still at the stage where they concentrate on individual operations and do not place emphasis on talents. They have failed to retain, optimise and groom talents. The managing director of a company should not just delegate duties that are commensurate with the abilities of his employees, he should also assign the right person in the right position to accomplish the right tasks. Of course, before doing so, he needs to be sure about the capabilities of his subordinates in order to generate the greatest benefits for the management. Hence, the grooming of talents is very important. However, many businessmen feel that training is a waste of money and are reluctant to invest in the area of employee training. Such a concept needs to be changed though. In order to stimulate the growth of an enterprise and

in our manufacturing skills, it lies in people management. Excellent customer service helps to retain customers and is crucial in giving enterprises a competitive edge. I always say that if an enterprise is unable to manage its operations, production and quality control systems well, it is pointless to think about establishing market share, creating a niche in the market or becoming the market leader. In fact, it is only by optimising internal management, upgrading marketing skills and strengthening corporate culture values that an enterprise can grow from strength to strength naturally.

拿督丁重诚博士 Datuk Dr. Ting Chung Cheng 马来西亚台湾 商会联合总会名誉总会长 Honorary President of Taipei Investors’ Association in Malaysia

Why is Malaysia the chosen place for investment? What are the factors that have attracted Taiwanese merchants to invest in Malaysia? The early years of 1987 to 1992 were the peak period during which many Taiwanese merchants came to invest in Malaysia. At that time, many Taiwanese merchants could only choose to invest in other countries as the land cost in Taiwan was too high and there was a shortage of labour. During the same time, the Taiwan government implemented a “Southward Policy” that served to encourage Taiwanese merchants to invest in Southeast Asian countries. For Taiwanese merchants, Malaysia became the first choice where investment in Southeast Asia was concerned. The Malaysia government also welcomed foreign investors with open arms at that time. With many Chinese in Malaysia who speak the same language and share the same ethnic roots and similar lifestyles with the Taiwanese, Taiwanese merchants felt right at home in Malaysia. Malaysia also has vast land resources, sufficient manpower, a rich store of raw materials, comprehensive public facilities and political stability.

TAIWANESE MERCHANTS’ INVESTMENT IN MALAYSIA SERVES TO PROMOTE BILATERAL COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC COOPERATION Taiwan is one of the most important business and trading partners of Malaysia. Both countries have built close ties through economic cooperation, with Taiwanese merchants investing in Malaysia as early as 20 years ago. Currently, there are about 2000 Taiwan factories that are in operation in Malaysia. More

than USD10.5 billion have been invested over the past 20 years. Please give a brief introduction of Taipei Investors’ Association in Malaysia. According to government statistics, there are more than 1800 factories and companies set up by Taiwanese investors in Malaysia and they are dispersed across the various states. These Taiwanese merchants have established seven business associations in the states of Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Perak, Melaka, Johor, Kedah as well as East Malaysia to forge closer ties with local members. Together, these seven associations form the Taipei Investors’ Association in Malaysia, which was established with the objectives of connecting kinsmen and facilitating information exchanges. Apart from that, the association also acts as a bridge of communication between Taiwanese merchants and government agencies and helps members resolve investment-related difficulties.

In Malaysia, what are the industries that Taiwanese merchants would invest in? Taiwanese merchants invest in various businesses across a wide spectrum of industries throughout Malaysia. In the early days, they were mainly involved in the manufacturing industries such as steel production, chemical engineering and furniture manufacturing. As Malaysia is a country with rich natural resources, some Taiwanese merchants have chosen to invest in the furniture industry in Malaysia. They introduced state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies and a modern style of management, and made huge contributions to the development of the furniture industry. During the 90s, there was a surge in investments in the electronics industry and this has resulted in the development of the electronics industry. Frankly, Taiwanese merchants who invested in Malaysia 20 years ago were able to make

KLSFEA 77

1/28/11 4:17:04 PM


profits because Malaysia had a rich store of natural resources and abundant manpower at that time. Taiwanese merchants could get anything they needed without any problem. Coupled with their hardworking spirit and attitude, they have managed to achieve success and create huge business empires in Malaysia. They have made prominent contributions to the Malaysia economy. What are the problems encountered by Taiwanese merchants as they invest in Malaysia? A lot of Taiwanese merchants who invested in Malaysia have considered Malaysia to be their second home. They have made certain contributions towards the development of the Malaysia economy and employee training. However, Taiwanese merchants normally face

been affected by the labour control policy and labour shortages have become a problem for their companies. In fact, labour shortages have jeopardised many industries and this is also one of the main factors that made foreign investors withdraw their investments and leave Malaysia for good. Faced with the pressing problems of labour shortages and increase in labour costs and raw materials, Taiwanese merchants are getting lesser profits. We have developed our businesses here and we have settled down here. It is certain that Malaysia has become our home as all our friends and family members are here. We have assimilated into the culture, lifestyle and environment of Malaysia. So of course, we hope that the government can consider Taiwanese merchants like us to be a part of Malaysia.

do not need visas to go to Taiwan. As the two countries have always been sharing mutually beneficial ties, the Malaysia government should grant visa exemption to Taiwanese as well. I can say that Taiwanese merchants have played a role in the development of the Malaysia economy. Taiwan welcomes Malaysians as they can enter Taiwan without visas. However, despite the visa exemption granted by Malaysia to over a hundred countries, Taiwan is not one of them and this is not a fair policy. I believe Malaysia will gain a lot of benefits by granting visa exemption as it can attract Taiwanese merchants to make their investments in Malaysia and boost the tourism industry. These will increase foreign currency inflows. Let me give an example. Taiwanese do not need visas to go to Japan. After Japan announced the policy of visa exemption, the number of Taiwanese tourists visiting Japan increased significantly. In addition, the Malaysia government is upping a notch on attracting overseas investors. I always say that retaining a foreign company is equivalent to bringing in a new company. However, how should the government retain a company? I think the government should offer Taiwanese merchants greater convenience by helping them solve the problems of visa and labour shortages and further enhance bilateral commerce and economic cooperation between the two countries. What do you think of Malaysia’s New Economic Model? The Prime Minister’s far-sighted political vision has given people new hope. I am impressed with the New Economic Model proposed by the Prime Minister. Through national and economic transformation plans, Malaysia can realise its goal of becoming a country with high income. In addition, the government’s emphasis on local private investments and foreign investments, coupled with a liberal investment environment, can also bring more business opportunities to both local and foreign investors.

many difficulties in the process of applying for work permits. They need to go through tedious procedures before they can get work permits that last for three to five years. We hope that the authoritiescanlookintothismatterandimprovethe efficiency of government departments as red tape would only hinder the course of development. Moreover, many Taiwanese merchants have

What kind of assistance do you hope the Malaysia government can provide with regard to the issue of double entry visa exemption? I would like to urge the government to allow Taiwanese to come to Malaysia without visa. This would encourage more Taiwanese to visit and invest in Malaysia. Currently, Malaysians

What advice do you have for Taiwanese merchants who are interested in investing in Malaysia? I believe the Malaysia market has a huge development potential. Those who wish to invest in Malaysia should first understand the local rules and regulations. I would advise them to contact our association as this could help the enterprise gain a better understanding of local conditions and operation models and help them establish good relationships. Our association would be pleased to share our business and life experiences with them and help them assimilate into a foreign environment quickly.

INTERVIEW 专访

外劳课题

对外劳过分依赖并不是长远的解决方案。要确实 的解决国内的人力资源短缺问题,政府呼吁目前 过度依赖外劳的领域或企业应该以现代科技技术 取代人力,以减轻现在对外劳的倚重。

无可否认我国是一个劳动力短缺的国家,在许 多经济领域都严重依赖外劳。目前就有数以万 计包括合法和不合法的外国劳工在国内从事 各行业工作,特别是所谓的3D工作,也就是困 难,肮脏和危险的工作。. 内政部副部长拿督李志亮指出,其实这种现象 在国内是很普遍的,见怪不怪;政府限制引进 外劳人数,以减少雇主对外劳的依赖,并制造 更多工作机会给本地人,但是国人并不珍惜此 机会。基于本地人对于选择工作的标准越来越 挑剔,尤其是对这些薪水低、工作时间长,劳 动力 加倍 的3D 工 作更 是避 而远 之 ,也 因为这 个原因造就国内出现劳动力短缺的问题。 由于外劳的数量庞大,引起的社会问题也很 多,例如,外劳犯罪率逐年增加、在我国散播 传染病等等。对此,国人对外劳的态度也各不 相同;有者要求减少外劳进入我国的数量或者 停止引进外劳;不过也有另一种观点则认为, 为了国家经济的发展,外劳是不可或缺的;无 论如何,跟据目前的实际情况得到了一个结 论,那就是我国目前的经济发展中还是离不开

内政部副部长拿督李志亮 Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Y.B. DATO' LEE CHEE LEONG

外劳,因此在政府在没有任何的选择情况之 下,只好继续引进外劳。

5年的外劳已有熟练技能,希望政府能延长让外 劳本地服务期限,以免面对外劳短缺问题。

不过在引进外劳的同时,政府会谨慎的批准外 劳进入我国的数量,以免造成外劳泛滥以及 引发连串的社会问题,其中严审聘雇外劳之 申请。除此之外,政府将委托 首相署经济策 划组进行一项研究,确定国内需要外劳的确实 数据;一旦调查完成,政府将会根据报告的数 据,为各个领域安排外劳人数的配额,以有效 控制外劳泛滥课题。

同时间,政府的另一项政策就是要引进国际熟 练以及高品质的劳工进入国内工作。政府目前 强制所有雇主在替外劳申请延长工作证之前, 必须接受能力鉴定课程,一旦获认为熟练的外 劳,才能获得延长5年的工作证。

在现有政策,政府仍允许各领域以一对一的方 式,填补外劳服务期满回国所留下的空缺。业 者在遣送旧外劳回国后,可重新引进外劳,惟 不能超过被遣送回国的外劳数目。 拿督李志亮指出,政府已在考虑是否延长外劳 服务期限,让有熟练技能的外劳继续逗留,解 决外劳短缺问题。

不过我必须强调的是对外劳过分依赖并不是长 远的解决方案。要确实的解决国内的人力资源 短缺问题,政府呼吁目前过度依赖外劳的领域 或企业应该以现代科技技术取代人力,就好像 公司运作电脑化,机械化,或者提供自我服务 等等,以减轻现在对外劳的倚重。 另外,政府双管齐下,在国内多间技术学校提 供职业课程,让学生可以学习并趁早了解本身 的兴趣,在选择本身的兴趣课程后,有关学校 将会安排学生们到各个部门进行训练。这是减 少对外国劳工的依赖的其中良方之一。

他说,政府当初决定限制外劳在马最长工作期 限为5年,然后必须遣送回国,很多行业指工作

FOREIGN WORKER ISSUE

Over-reliance on foreign labour is not a long-term solution.The Government has urged the use of modern technology to replace manpower, such as computerized and mechanized operations, that could also provide the alternative of provide self-service etc. Indeed, Malaysia is a country that lacks manpower and is heavily dependent on foreign workers in many economic sectors. Currently, there are tens of thousands of both legal and illegal foreign workers in various industries in the country, particularly in the socalled 3D work, categorised as difficult, dirty and dangerous . Deputy Home Minister Datuk Lee Chee Leong has pointed out that the phenomenon is common in Malaysia. The government has restricted the number of foreign workers to reduce employer’s dependency on foreign labour and to create more job opportunities for locals. However, the local people do not cherish this opportunity. The locals tend to shun jobs for reasons such as low pay, long working hours, labour intensiveness, and those deemed to be of 3D nature, though the work is critical to Malaysia’s economy. Hence, there is a shortage of domestic labour. Having a large number of foreign workers in employment causes many social problems. For example, the crime rate of foreign workers has been increasing every year , while there

continues the spread of infectious diseases and so on. In this aspect, the attitude of locals towards foreign workers varies. ; some have demanded the reduction of the number of foreign workers or to stop employing them, while others acknowledged that employment of foreign workers is essential and will benefit national economic development. Nevertheless, reality is that Malaysia’s current economic development is still dependable on foreign labor, so the government has no choice but to continue bringing in foreign workers. At the same time, the Government is concerned about the number of foreign workers entering the country. and imposes strict considerations before approving their employment application, so as to also avoid the proliferation of foreign workers that may lead to a series of social problems. In addition, the Government will commission the Economic Planning Unit of Prime Minister’s Department to conduct a study to determine the actual amount of labour needed. Once the research is completed, the Government will make use of the data for effective distribution of labour in the respective industries to avoid the over reliance on foreign workers. The existing government policy allows onetoone- replacement for manpower in all industries, in the event that vacant post arises from completion of service contract. Employers may hire a new foreign worker in the place of the deported foreign worker but are not to exceed the number of foreign workers who have left Malaysia. Datuk Lee Chee Liong said that the Government is considering whether or not to

extend the period of foreign labour service, so that skilled workers can stay on, and this will alsoaddress the shortage in labour. He added that the government had restricted the service period to 5 years for the foreign workers in Malaysia, and theymust return to their country after the period . However, many employers have pointed out that foreign workers have become skilled during their employment and hope that the Government can extend the duration of foreign workers for local services in order to avoid labour shortage. Meanwhile, the other Government policy is to bring in more international high-quality skilled labour into domestic work. It is compulsory for foreign workers to to take an ability test when their employers apply for work permit extension. The foreign workers may obtain a work permit for more than 5 years once they have been certified as a skilled worker. However, I must stress that the over-reliance on foreign labour is not a long-term solution. The Government has urged the use of modern technology in company operation to replace manpower, such as computerized, mechanized, or provide self-service etc. to reduce the reliance on foreign workers. Besides, the Government has set up a number of technical schools in Malaysia for vocational courses, so that the students can learn the essential skills and discover their interests early. After they have selected their preferred courses, the school will arrange for the students to undergo training at various departments. This is also an effective way to reduce the dependence on foreign workers.

THE FURNITURE HUB WITH A ONE-STOP SHOPPING CONCEPT “LDP Furniture Mall brings various brands of different furniture together, creating a comfortable shopping environment that offers plenty of convenience. With the added advantage of its location, it can definitely draw huge crowds.” Please elaborate on the concept behind LDP Furniture Mall. The concept of LDP Furniture Mall is one that offers one-stop shopping by bringing all the various brands of different furniture together. From furniture to decorative items, anything that is needed in the house can be found in the mall. This one-stop solution does not only help to save time, it also provides great convenience. The concept of the furniture mall is an offshoot of the rapid development trends in the local furniture industry. What are the differences between LDP Furniture Mall and ordinary retail stores? As I mentioned, the concept of the furniture mall is an offshoot of general development trends. LDP Furniture Mall brings various brands of different furniture together, creating a comfortable shopping environment that offers plenty of convenience. With the added advantage of its location, it can definitely draw huge crowds. In addition, the furniture mall has

sufficient budget to spend on advertisements and promotions so as to increase awareness of the different brands. On the other hand, retail stores usually adopt a family management model or sell only a single line of products, and one has to go to different retail stores to purchase all the household products separately. That means consumers need to go to many different places in order to purchase the complete furniture set, wasting time and effort in the process. Retail stores should consider changing their image by creating their own brands, so as to meet market demands. What do you think about the prospects of the furniture industry? I am optimistic about the prospects of Malaysia’s furniture industry. The furniture and property markets are closely related. As the local property market burgeons, it brings about development in the furniture industry as well. The growing population and increase in home purchases also lead to a huge increase in the demand for furniture products. What are the development trends of the international furniture industry? Competition in the international furniture industry is very intense, with competition between products turning into competition between brands. In order to become a well known brand in the furniture industry, we have to leverage on advertisements and promotions to accentuate our brand strategy and enhance brand awareness. Out of the numerous brands of furniture in the market, industry players can establish their brand image by tapping on the influence of print commercials, TV advertisements and the internet media to enhance consumers’ understanding about the brand.

The furniture industries in China and Vietnam are developing at a tremendous pace, and they have a competitive edge with their rich resources and cheap labour. Their governments also adopt relevant measures to encourage the growth of their local furniture industries. It is of certainty that the burgeoning furniture industries in China and Vietnam will pose a huge threat to Malaysia’s furniture industry. I hope our government can devise some policies to assist the local furniture industry. In your opinion, what will be the main marketing model adopted by the furniture industry in future? The future marketing model will be closely related to consumers’ demands. The attitude of a salesperson is very important. We need to understand consumers’ demands, fulfil them to the best of our abilities and provide consumers with a comfortable shopping environment that offers plenty of convenience. These will go a long way to leave a deep impression, even if they choose not to buy from you for now. How do you predict the development of the furniture industry in the next two years? I think that the furniture industry in the next two years will certainly be more developed. As people’s living standards improve, they will have higher expectations for household furnishing. The concept of the furniture mall will be a reflection of the macro development trend in the market. With various brands of different furniture brought under one roof, this serves to provide the complete suite of products for the living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, giving consumers more variety to choose from.

How do you view the threats posed by the burgeoning furniture industries in China and Vietnam in recent years?

家具零售业所面临的难题/挑战。 家具业日新月异,从业者必须要建立新的市场 策略,要拥有新的思维。以往的简陋门面已不 适用、样本式的销售方式已被时代摒弃。然而 在进行各方面的提升时,也意味着成本涨高。 那么该如何在成本调高、利润降低之间取到平 衡点呢?这是我们目前所面对的其中一个难 题。困难是存在,但不代表不能解决。 经济发展对家具零售业有什么影响? 经济发展对家具零售业肯定带来正面影响。 国家不断向前迈进,人民的入息提高,购买 能力也相对提高。反之,缺少经济发展的推 动,不只家具业,我想其他各行各业也会成 为牺牲品。

一件家具, 一种生活品味 “现今是资讯时代,厂商们必须跟上时代转变的步 伐,生产要现代化,家具设计要跟上潮流,店面装 潢也要讲究。这才符合消费人的要求。” 请谈谈家具零售业目前的发展趋势。 家俱零售业在大马发展前景一片大好,特别是 2010年经济复苏,消费人越来越关注生活品 质,再加上我国首相拿督斯里纳吉提呈2011 年度财政预算案时,为大马定型为先进及高收 入国,对我国经济发展更有莫大助益。 现今的家具业比起过去30年有什么巨大 变化? 在过往的30年,家具业是家庭式工业,市场需 求量有限,从业者的策略保守,以节省成本为

现在的人都拥有独特生活品位-家具业者 是否意识到这一股趋势的存在? 家具原本就与生活品味息息相关,不论现在或 未来,从业者都应意识到这股力量。 现代人都拥有各自独特的生活方式,我认为只 要能提供一个市场感觉,让客户产生购买欲 望,家俱业者的市场还存着很大的潜能。 2010年即将结束,你预测明年的趋势会 是怎 样? 我个人认为,每一个新的一年都是一个新的开 始。大多数从业者以往做法比较保守。然而当 今社会、人、事、物天天在变,家具业也不能 不例外。 家具虽然是人们不能缺少的生活用品,但其实 它真正涵意,却是一种艺术品,懂得了解家 具,是一种生活享受,它更是我们生活上密不 可分的伴侣。在人们越来越懂得掌握潮流时 尚、懂得享受生活时,家具业必定拥有更大的 发展空间。 另一方面,我呼吁政府在管理外劳方面,提供

What is the impact of economic development on the furniture retail industry? Economic development has a certain impact on the furniture retail industry. As a nation develops, the income of its people increases as well, leading to an increase in their purchasing power. Without the impetus of economic development, it is not just the furniture industry that would be affected, other industries would be jeopardised too.

A PIECE OF FURNITURE, A LIFESTYLE STATEMENT “It is now the information age. Factories need to keep up with the pace of development and focus on the modernisation of their machinery. Furniture design should keep up with the latest trends and store furnishings must be elaborate. Only then will it be possible to meet consumers’ demands.” Please elaborate on the current development trend of the furniture retail industry. The prospects of the furniture retail industry in Malaysia are promising. In 2010, the market has apparently recovered from the global economic downturn and consumers are once again concerned about their quality of life. In addition, Malaysia’s Prime Minister has recently announced a series of ambitious measures aimed at achieving nationwide increase in income by 2020.

When we first started out and set up our own factories, we realised that there would be an imbalance in sales and production levels if the focus was only on the local market. As demands in the local market were low, the only solution was to venture into overseas markets. After overcoming various challenges, we have established a brand that consumers have confidence in. Over the years, Novel has never given up on the local market. Now, as consumers’ living standards continuously increase, they start to have more discerning demands for household furnishing. Hence, Novel feels that it is time to launch our onestop solution concept in the local market and further promote the concept of such services to our existing customers in neighbouring countries, as well as other areas in Asia, Europe and America.

Compared to the past 30 years, what are the major changes in the furniture industry today? Over the past 30 years, the furniture industry has adopted a family management approach. Market demand has not been high and the business strategies adopted by industry players tend to be quite conservative as they mainly focused on cutting costs. In most cases, one person would be handling everything, from retail sales to delivery services. It is now the information age. Factories need to keep up with the pace of development and focus on the modernisation of their machinery. Furniture design should keep up with the latest trends and store furnishings must be elaborate. Only then will it be possible to meet consumers’ demands.

As Novel has always projected the image of being export-oriented, how do you intend to change this fixed impression that people have, now that you have decided to shift your focus back to the local market? How do I intend to change this fixed impression? I feel that “enhancing the impression” would be a better choice of words. As I have mentioned, Novel has never given up on Malaysia’s market. It is just that in the past, the local market occupied a smaller portion of our global market share. Currently, Malaysia’s furniture industry is ranked tenth globally. This has motivated Novel to break new grounds in the Asia region, especially in Malaysia. We hope that in the years ahead, Novel will become a household brand in the furniture industry.

In the past, Novel had been aggressively expanding overseas markets. Why have you decided to turn the tide and invest in the domestic market again? Novel has established a corporate presence in overseas markets for a period of time.

What are the problems or challenges faced by the furniture retail industry? The furniture industry is changing fast and industry players have to establish new market strategies and adopt innovative ways of thinking. Companies need to change the

Nowadays, people have their unique lifestyle pursuits. Have industry players noticed such a trend? Home furnishing has always been closely related to lifestyle pursuits and industry players, whether they are existing enterprises or those who are going to enter the trade in future, should recognise such a trend. Urbanites have their unique lifestyle habits. I think that if we can create a certain vibe in the market, that will trigger consumption. Companies in the furniture industry still have a lot of room for development. Year 2010 is coming to an end soon. How would you predict the trend for next year? I personally feel that each new year is a new beginning. In the past, most industry players adopted a more conservative approach. In today’s society, people, things and events are constantly changing. The furniture industry is of no exception as well. Home furnishing is not just a necessity in everyone’s daily life, it can also be a work of art. When you can understand the essence of home furnishing, you would appreciate it as a form of lifestyle pleasure and a companion that reflects your taste in life. If consumers can learn to enjoy the art of home furnishing and home décor and keep up with the pace of fashionable trends, this will give the furniture industry greater room for growth and brighter prospects. I would like to appeal to the government to provide a more comprehensive system where foreign labour policies are concerned. All foreign workers in local firms, whether they are managers or skilled production workers, should be given proper treatment and attention. If possible, the government can also consider adjusting the levies for foreign workers. Malaysia’s multilingual advantages and the infrastructure present in the local furniture industry have shaped unique and favourable conditions that have made the country a good base for development. In the next five years, the furniture industry will be one of the industries with the greatest market value.

黄天保 Ng Tian Poh 八达灵有 限公司 Syarikat Petaling Corporation S/B

八打灵机械公司背景 黄天保于1973年成立 八打灵机械公司。18年 后,这间以机械设备 制造加工为主的公司,成 功注册为一间有限 公司。 他说,历经20余年的艰苦创业,八打灵机械 有限公司的业务逐渐稳定,迄今拥有3间子公 司。它的设备精良齐全,从各国进口先进的锯 木、钻孔、研磨等完整木材家具加工设备,成 为一间将国内家具业走向机械化、品质化时代 的推手。

对家具业的看法 对于国内的家具业发展,黄天保乐观其成。 “ 家具业在技术及设计创意方面拥有良好发展 潜能。再加上我国拥有丰富原料资源,例如橡 胶木及木材,这是其它国家所欠缺的,令我们 占尽优势。” 他说,木材及树桐是最佳的家具制造原料。这 令业者不必完全依赖外国家具加工厂,只需在 国内就地取材,进行加工。“ 因此,业者只需 不断提升及改进制造技术与品质,马来西亚家 具王国将持续壮大。” 显而易见,家具制造业已进入快速发展时期。 原本以传统手工业为主的生产方式迅速向机械 化、自动化的工业化生产方式转变。以往,手 工很难割切的图案或形状,现在通过机械设 定,就能轻易达致要求。

对机械业的看法 八打灵机械有限公司所出产的自动及半自动 机械,也外销至印尼、泰国、越南及南非等 地。由此证明国内出产的机械,逐渐获得国 际认同。 黄天保说,无论在功能、品质及技术上,国内 出产的机械,其实不逊于国外机械。“ 值得一 提的是,相对于韩国、日本、欧洲进口的昂贵 机械,本地制造的机械,单单是在价格方面就 占尽优势,也更能迎合本地家具业的需求。” 我国地处热带,自然条件优越,森林资源极其 丰富,基于这一个原因,黄天保透露了公司未 来大计。“ 公司未来将会着重于木材家具加工 制造,善用天然资源的供应,以继续在国际市 场谋生存和发展。”

MECHANIZATION OF FURNITURE MANUFACTURING Malaysia’s furniture industry has always played a vital role in the country’s economic development. However, with competition in the global market intensifying, the local furniture industry is also faced with tough challenges. As we look at the world now, countries with mature furniture industries have shifted the focus to industrialisation and mechanisation. To keep up with the pace of international tends, the local furniture industry needs to go beyond the framework of traditional craftsmanship and use modern processes, such as the manufacture of furniture products through mechanical moulds, to replace antiquated models. Established in 1973 by Ng Tian Poh, who is also the current Chairman of Selangor and Federal Territory Machinery Merchants Association, Petaling Machinery has always been focused on the manufacturing of mechanical equipment and the relevant process technologies. Eighteen years later in 1981, this company had successfully transformed into a limited corporation. After more than two decades, all the hard work put into the entrepreneurial journey have paid off as Petaling’s business reaches a substantial scale today with three subsidiaries under its arm. Having imported the complete set of tools for the processing of timber furniture such as state-of-the-art saws, drills and abrasives from various countries, Syarikat Petaling Corporation S/B has the full range of cutting-edge mechanical equipment and is well geared up to promote the mechanisation and quality enhancement of the local furniture industry. Ng Tian Poh remains optimistic about the development of the local furniture industry. In his view, the local furniture industry has good potential for development and excellent prospects, whether it is in terms of technological

expertise or innovation capabilities in the industry. This is largely because Malaysia has a natural competitive edge with its repository of rich natural resources such as timber and rubber that other countries lack. He also said that Malaysia’s timber and logs would be the best natural materials for manufacturing furniture and industry players should make optimum use of such resources and have these materials processed in the country instead of relying on furniture processing factories in other countries. In addition, as long as we continue to improve and enhance manufacturing expertise and quality in the local market, Malaysia’s furniture empire would grow from strength to strength. Whilst promoting the mechanisation of the local furniture industry, Syarikat Petaling Corporation S/B also produces its own automated and semi-automated machinery and exports them to countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and South Africa. This goes to show that Malaysia’s machinery is gradually becoming recognised on the international stage. According to Ng Tian Poh, the machinery produced in Malaysia can be up to par with its foreign counterparts where functions, quality and technical capabilities are concerned. Compared to the expensive machinery imported from Korea, Japan and Europe, the machinery produced in Malaysia has a distinct cost advantage and it can also fulfil the needs of the local furniture industry. As a tropical country, Malaysia is well blessed with an abundance of forest resources and plenty of geographical advantages. Thanks to this, Ng Tian Poh has his future plans for the company all laid out. He indicated that moving forward, Syarikat Petaling Corporation S/B would focus on the business of processing and manufacturing timber furniture and make best use of the supply of natural resources to ensure continued survival and development in the global markets.

沙巴家具公会所扮演的角色 沙巴家具公会已成立20周年。公会的宗旨为 团结沙巴家具业者,维护同业的利益。这些年 来,对家具业的卓越贡献如下: 引领同业发掘新市场,拓展业务。 组团赴中国台 湾地区考察,作技术交流, 吸取别人的优势和 经验来应对市场变化, 提升竞争力。 扮演一个 与政府沟通的重要角色,代表家 具同业,向政 府反映同业的心声和需求。 针对政府限制外劳 申请以及电流不足的问 题,向政府反映同业面 临的困境,以便争 取政府的协助。 沙巴家具业最具优势的地方。 沙巴拥有全世界面积最大的热带森林,天 然资源丰富,地理位置佳。除了天然森林 之外,沙巴也开展人工造林种植相思木 (Acacia)。沙巴生产的环保Acacia木的品 质良好,受欧洲国家承认。Acacia木适用于 制造户外家具、高级家具、地板、门框、厨 房台面等。 沙巴家具业所面对的挑战 沙巴家具业因面对种种的问题,牵制着家具业 的发展,对同业造成困扰。 第一,基本设施的不足 沙巴一直面对电流短 缺的问题,停电次数频 繁,导致家具工厂无 法完全机械化。家具业必 须雇用大批的工人 来制造家具,以应付市场上 的需求。 第二,沙巴的海运费用高昂 高昂的海运费, 直接提高原料成本。 第三,越南家具业的迅速发展,以低廉的劳力 及原料见称,出产价廉物美的家具,成为市场 新势力,对于沙巴业者不无冲击。 沙巴家具业的演变过程 早期的沙巴家具业只生产传统室内家具。到了 90 年 代 ,家 具 业 者开 始 转 型 生产 户 外家 具 , 也出口家具至海外,开拓国外的家具市场。沙 巴家具需求量与日倍增,令家具业发展迅速, 很多西马名牌连锁家具店也纷纷过来抢滩。为 求生存,家具业者寻出路,比如专门承包酒店 家具、包办装修家居以及出口户外家具等等。

政府限制外劳数量,对家具业是否 有影响? 人手不足是家具业一大隐忧,本地人没兴趣 做,外劳也不太愿意做。V鉴于政府政策,沙 巴州只允许雇佣印尼和菲律宾的外劳。现在政 府又限制申请外劳数量,对家具业而言,更是 雪上加霜。 沙巴家具业在运输方面所面对的问题。 目前,所有沙巴货船必须在巴生港口卸货, 再由海运公司以高价运到沙巴;同样地,沙 巴的货船也必须先运货到巴生港口,才能出 口货物。 这种外国-巴生港口-沙巴,或是沙巴-巴生港 口-外国的运输方式,造成的海运费极高。我 希望政府能正视问题,提升运输系统。

业提供了巨大的市场。另外,旅游业也带动 餐饮业的发展;各餐厅、酒楼都需要大量的 家具供应。 沙巴家具公会未来10年计划。 我们有天然资源及技术,使沙巴家具业在未来 发展占有一定优势。前提是,政府必须确保家 具下游工业,获得足够的原料供应。那么出口 的家具数量肯定大幅增加。 我们也希望政府,设立固打制,严管ACACIA 树桐出口国外的数量,以确保ACACIA树桐足 够供应本地制造商;优先保护本地工业,而不 是为赚取外汇而把树桐大量出口到国外。最重 要的是,政府应给予家具业者全力的支持和援 助,沙巴家具业才能稳健发展。

经济发展对沙巴家具业的巨大影响。 沙巴旅游业的蓬勃发展,酒店也如雨后春笋 般冒起。酒店家具需求量因此增加,为家具 KLSFEA 89

DEVELOPMENT OF THE FURNITURE INDUSTRY IN SABAH “In the early days, Sabah’s furniture industry was only concerned about the production of traditional interior furnishing. By the 1990s, industry players shifted their focus to the manufacture of furniture for outdoor purposes, as well as the export of furniture to overseas markets and development of furniture markets in other countries.”

What is the role of Sabah Furniture Association? Sabah Furniture Association has been established for 20 years. The mission of the association is to unite furniture industry players so as to safeguard the benefits of our counterparts. Sabah Furniture Association has played a leading role in encouraging fellow industry players to explore new markets and expand their business operations. The association also organises study trips to China and Taiwan. When our expedition teams are able to engage in an exchange of skills and learn from others’ strengths and experiences, they will be better equipped to cope with market changes and enhance their competitiveness.

Sabah Furniture Association also plays an important role in acting as the bridge of communication between Sabah’s furniture industry and the government. It represents furniture industry players and voices out their opinions, needs and difficulties, such as the government’s restrictions on hiring foreign labour and insufficient power supply, so as to solicit understanding and assistance from the government. What is the greatest strength of the furniture industry in Sabah? Sabah is home to the world’s largest tropical forest. It also has abundant natural resources and is blessed with an ideal geographical location. Besides the natural forest, Sabah has also embarked on an artificial afforestation plan to grow Acacia. The environmentally-friendly Acacia wood produced in Sabah is of good quality and widely recognised by European countries. Acacia wood is suitable for making outdoor furniture, premium furniture, flooring, door frames, kitchen countertops and other items. What are the challenges faced by the furniture industry in Sabah? The furniture industry in Sabah is faced with various problems that have affected the industry’s development and created difficulties for industry players. Firstly, due to poor infrastructure, Sabah has always encountered the problem of power shortages. Power failure occurs frequently, hence furniture factories cannot be completely machine-operated. In order to cater to market demands, the furniture industry needs to hire large numbers of workers to produce the furniture. Secondly, freight charges in Sabah are very high and this directly leads to higher material costs. Thirdly, Vietnam has taken away a large part of the market share with the rapid development of its furniture industry, low labour costs and ample manpower supply. Can you describe the evolution of the furniture industry in Sabah? In the early days, Sabah’s furniture industry was only concerned about the production of traditional interior furnishing. By the 1990s, industry players shifted their focus to the manufacture of furniture for outdoor purposes, as well as the export of furniture to overseas markets and development of furniture markets in other countries. Following the rapid development of Sabah’s furniture industry, many furniture brands in west Malaysia made inroads into the Sabah market to establish

chain stores here and fight for a slice of the pie. Industry players had to diversify and develop new markets specialising in hotel renovation, home furnishing and the export of outdoor furniture, in the hope of finding other business opportunities. The government has imposed a quota on the hiring of foreign labour. Will this affect the furniture industry? Inadequate manpower is a huge concern for the furniture industry. Locals are not interested in the jobs, while foreign workers are reluctant to join this industry. Due to government policies, Sabah is only allowed to hire foreign labour from Indonesia and the Philippines. With the addition of the foreign labour quota imposed by the government, it worsens the current situation for the furniture industry. What are the transportation problems faced by the furniture industry? Currently, all the cargo ships travelling to

Sabah need to stop at Port Kelang to unload the goods, after which freight companies transport the goods to Sabah at high costs. Similarly, cargo ships in Sabah must transport the goods to Port Kelang before the goods can be exported overseas. This has indirectly made freight charges very costly. I still hope the government can confront the issues pertaining to the port and shipping matters, so as to improve the transport system. What is the greatest impact of economic development on Sabah’s furniture industry? The tourism industry in Sabah is developing vigorously, directly causing a rapid increase in the number of hotels being built. As a result, there is an increase in the demand for hotel furniture which in turn creates a huge market for the furniture industry. In addition, the tourism industry also stimulates the growth of the catering industry, and these restaurants and hotels need a huge supply of furniture as well.

Can you elaborate on your tenyear plan for Sabah Furniture Association? We have natural resources and skills which have given Sabah’s furniture industry certain advantages for future development. As long as the government can ensure an adequate supply of raw materials for the downstream furnitureindustry, furnitureexportswilldefinitely increase by a huge margin. We hope that the government can control overseas exports of Acacia logs, so that local manufacturers can still have an adequate supply of the logs. The government should safeguard the benefits of the local industry as its top priority, instead of exporting large quantities of timber overseas to reap profits. Most importantly, the government should render full support and assistance to industry players, so that Sabah’s furniture industry can enjoy stable development.

三分之一才是合理的,但是现在的情况是,有许 多人还房款和车款的比例都高达50%以上了,一 付就是10到20年以上。现代人生活开销渐渐扩 大,为了提升生活素质及享受,各种开销也更 多样化,最终陷入“ 钱不够用” 的窘境。 总而言之,买不买房产因人而异,但是,按照 目前的状况,不管是投资投机或买房来自住, 购屋者都要量力而为,根据自己的经济能力购 买合适的房产。

PROPERTY – TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY? “Fifteen years ago, the amount of money needed to buy a house was equivalent to a university graduate’s annual income accumulated over seven years. Today, buying a house requires 28 years of a university graduate’s annual income”. Property prices are always rising faster than income levels. At the moment, with property prices getting higher and higher, how many people can really afford to buy the spectrum of properties built by developers? A home exists only if there is a house. For most people, a house represents a sense of security. Goh Bok Yen, an expert in urban landscape and transportation planning, feels that 10 to 20 years ago, people only needed a typical house, one that could provide sanctuary for them. They were not fastidious about the interior or exterior design of the house, all they wanted was just the most fundamental necessity. “Overthepast 20 years, Ihaveseentheevolution of two different generations. In the middle stage of this transformation, people returned to a peaceful, communal existence. Their lifestyles brought about major changes, hence resulting in the development of condominiums. These condominiums came equipped with complete amenities and sound security measures. Today, with continuous social progress, people are also demanding a higher quality of life. They are no longer just content to have a house to live in, they also wish to have a beautiful and harmonious residential environment. They are in pursuit of trendy lifestyles and quality of life matters to them.” “A strategic location is one that is replete with geographical advantages, a picturesque

environment, transport accessibility, comprehensive infrastructure and the total suite of modern facilities. If you want a strategic location with a good living environment, you must be willing to pay more for it. It is due to such supply and demand dynamics that current property prices are skyrocketing. The needs of the younger generation and their lifestyles have changed. What they need is not just a home, they are also particular about their living environment and how it can accentuate their trendy lifestyles. When it comes to residential planning and interior design, they have higher requirements as a whole.” In recent years, local property prices have been rising continuously due to the influx of foreign consortiums and purchasers, as well as the fact that Malaysians’ purchasing power has increased and they could afford costly properties. Although Malaysia’s property prices are rising, they are still relatively cheaper compared to Hong Kong and Singapore in terms of property price per square foot. In the past, developers built reasonably priced properties in strategic locations in order to sell them off within the shortest period of time. By contrast, strategic locations are now limited and hence developers need to fully capitalise on the geographical advantages of each location so as to reap maximum profits from each plot of land. Limited land resources and expensive land costs have caused property prices to rise. Food, clothing, transportation and housing are the basic necessities of life. Even if property prices are rising, there will always be a constant market demand for real estate. Hence, developers are not worried that they would be unable to sell the properties. The market has also ascertained the fact that highly priced properties in strategic locations are still popular. The property markets in Klang Valley and Kuala Lumpur have reached a saturation point, and property buyers are forced to look for cheaper housing in the outlying areas of Klang Valley, Seremban, Kajang, Semenyih and Rawang. “At present, the younger generation wishing to buy properties is caught in a dilemma. The question remains – to buy or not to buy? They are afraid that having a property will increase their burden. On the other hand, if they do not buy the property now, it will be even more unaffordable in future when property prices climb higher. In view of the current trend of increasing property prices, will we see a decline anytime soon? I believe we won’t.

Many people who wish to purchase properties are waiting for the real estate bubble to burst before doing so, but in case this does not occur, they will lose yet another chance to buy a house.” “Is it a timely opportunity to buy properties now? In fact, it is difficult to determine if it is a timely opportunity now. The current property development trend has indisputably created great stress for the young generation. However, I still feel that they should take into consideration their financial abilities and not bite off more than they can chew. Buying a house should not add to their burden. Therefore, before buying a house, one should do a complete review of his/her existing assets and financial ability and choose a property that is reasonably priced.” “Fifteen years ago, the amount of money needed to buy a house was equivalent to a university graduate’s annual income accumulated over seven years. Today, buying a house requires 28 years of a university graduate’s annual income. With such a vast difference in the income amount, how will young people be able to afford their own properties? The burden will be too huge for them to bear. If they wish to buy a house, they will even have to enlist their parents’ help in paying for the deposit! The slower rate of increase in national income in proportion to the skyrocketing property prices is a very real problem.” Goh Bok Yen feels that instalments payable to the bank every month should not exceed one third of a person’s monthly income, in order for the amount to be reasonable. However, the actual situation in this day and age is that many people have to set aside more than half of their monthly income to repay their housing and car loans, and the repayment period ranges from 10 years to more than 20 years. The modern generation’s cost of living is gradually increasing and expenses have become more diversified, all in the name of enhancing the quality and enjoyment of life. Ultimately, many urbanites find themselves in a predicament where money is never enough. In conclusion, the decision to buy a property lies in the individual. However, judging by the current situation, buyers need to take into account their financial abilities before making the decision to purchase a property, whether it is for investment, speculation or residential purposes, so that they can have an asset which they can truly afford.

and furnishing designs, it provided one-stop shopping convenience for consumers. To enhance the appeal, the organiser spent a total budget of RM500,000 on advertising and promotions. All participating exhibitors enjoyed widespread publicity. The exhibitors unanimously agreed that the fair was an effective platform for them to enhance the popularity of their brand names and increase their sales revenue. There was even a lucky draw and Batik Fashion Shows held at the fair. To encourage attendance from the general public, there was no entrance fee for the fair. Each visitor who registered his/her entry received a specially designed paper bag and a limited edition mobile phone stand. All of them even had the chance to participate in a “Visit and Win” contest and take home prizes worth a total of RM20,000. In addition, consumers who spent a total of RM500 at the fair (whether the amount is on a single receipt or combined receipts) had the chance to participate in a “Buy and Win” lucky draw contest.

blended into the local furniture industry to create furniture trends that are imbued with unique Malaysian characteristics. The Batik Fashion Show drew lots of attention from visitors as models made their entrance with casual batik fashion pieces created by local designers.

最佳摊位设计奖得主

WINNER FOR THE BEST BOOTH DESIGN AWARD of the house to the garden, from the kitchen to the paintings on the wall, all these elements are meant to showcase the perfect home and create a cosy and homely atmosphere for consumers. The complete set of furnishings and design also fits perfectly well with the trendy and artistic image that Kubiq has always portrayed. Kubiq kitchen is an innovative and original concept. The concept of self-involvement has incorporated many elements similar to that of DIY. Through the measurement takings, planning, design, coordination with the suppliers and delivery arrangements, consumers are given the opportunity to be involved in the entire process of creating a kitchen. Of course, consumers do not have to go through the hassle of final installation.

金奖得主 72平方尺以上 Ms Lam Li Hua Kubiq Sdn Bhd

第几次参加MF3马 来西亚家具与装饰 展销会? 这是我们第2次参 展。我们上一届参 展也同样获得最佳 摊位设计金奖。

这个概念不但可以帮忙消费者省钱,更可节 省时间。即使消费者没有很大的预算,也可 以拥有自己理想的厨房和橱柜。这样的DIY概 念给除了给消费者一种新鲜感还有参与制作 的乐趣。 参加MF3的优势 通过参加展销会,可以迅速建立公司的知名

展览摊位的设计 概念 温馨的家居是我们摊位的设计概念。从入口、 花园、厨房到手绘的壁画、呈现的就是 一个完 整的家,让消费者有宾至如归的感觉。 全套 布置与设计也符合Kubiq时尚又充满 艺术的形 像。 Kubiq拥有一个新颖且特别的概念:自我参与 概念(Self-involvement concept)。我们大 量采用DIY元素,让消费者可以全程参与制作 厨房的过程,从量度尺寸、策划、设计、与供 应商协调甚至到安排送货;最后的安装程序则 由我们负责。 如何吸引消费者? 我们主要的卖点就是,我们的价格比市面 其 它 厨 房 品 牌 更 便 宜 。 而 且 新 颖 的 S elfinvolvement概念深受欢迎。

度。最重要的还是能吸引新客户,带来新 的商 机。 家具业未来前景看法 当然,我还是看好家具 业的潜质。房产业的增 长肯定能刺激家具业 的增长率。其实我觉得最 重要的是,教育消 费者相关资讯,提供他们更 多资料,让他们 更明白有产品的 优劣区别。 How many times have you participated in the Malaysian Furniture and Furnishings Fair? This is the second time we are participating in the fair. We were conferred the Best Booth Design Award in the previous fair. What is the design concept of your exhibition booth? The design concept of our booth is the creation of a heartwarming abode. From the entrance

How do you attract consumers? Our main selling points would be our reasonable prices and the innovative concept of selfinvolvement. In comparison to other brands of kitchen furnishings in the market, our prices are relatively cheaper. The concept of selfinvolvement is one that helps consumers to save both money and time. Even with budget constraints, consumers are able to have their ideal kitchens and cabinets. Besides providing novelty to consumers, this kind of DIY concept allows them to enjoy the production process as well. What are the advantages of participating in MF3? By participating in this fair, we can build up our company’s reputation in a shorter period of time. Most importantly, it can attract new customers, which in turn brings about new business opportunities. What is your view about the future prospects of the furniture industry? Without a doubt, I am still optimistic about the potential of the furniture industry. The growth of the property market can lead to an increase in consumption in the furniture industry. When consumers purchase houses, they will need furniture to furnish their homes. Besides, I think it is crucial that consumers are kept informed about the relevant updates. With more information, they can have a better understanding of the products they wish to purchase.

consumers. This time, our main objective is to promote the brand culture behind Rozel’s sofa series and the premium quality of our products. Our company has many series of products. One would be Rozel Gold, our high-end leather sofa series that is luxurious and classy. Another would be Rozel Lifestyle, our mass market series that features more reasonable prices and simpler designs without compromising the elegant feel. By showcasing our products in the exhibition fair, we can let consumers have a more direct and better understanding of the quality of our products. It also enables us to establish good relationships with our clients within a short period of time. How do you attract consumers? We target consumers with higher purchasing power. In fact, during the exhibition period, we always offer promotional packages that have comparatively lower prices than those offered in our stores. Consumers can purchase premium quality products at a good price if they are able to take advantage of such a rare opportunity. Promotional offers are available and the prices are cheaper than those in our stores. What are the advantages of participating in MF3? As MF3 has been widely publicised through newspapers and the main media channels, it has attracted many consumers from other states of Malaysia. Like us, many participating companies in the exhibition have also benefited from this. Besides creating greater awareness for our brand, we are able to attract new customers and identify potential customers through this exhibition fair. Within the short duration of four days, the number of

customers we interact with is greater than that on a normal basis. What is your view about the future prospects of the furniture industry? Malaysia’s furniture industry is ranked tenth globally. It has certain popularity in the international market. When people wish to purchase furniture, they will think of Malaysia, which goes to show the promising prospects of Malaysia’s furniture industry. With the leverage of suitable publicity strategies, Malaysian brands can be widely promoted in the international market. I am positive our local furniture industry will be able to scale greater heights.

隆雪家具企业商会参观2010年印度孟买国际家具展

印度人口: 印度是世界人口第二大国度,人 口已经超过11 亿,包括接近3亿的中产阶级。 印 度 在 1947 年 独 立 时 , 人 口 不 过 3.6 亿 , 而 2010年的最新统计,印度人口已超过11.7亿,

很快就要达到12亿。根据印度国家人口稳定基 金会(National Population Stabilization Fund) 公布的报告,到2026年,人口总数将增加3.71 亿,达到近15亿,将大大超过中国目前的13.5 亿的人口。

印度经济概况: 印度是世界上发展最快的 国家之一,经济增长 速度引人瞩目。自1991年 以来,印度实施经济 改革取得很好的成效,国 内生产总值(GDP) 以每年8%的速度增长。 印度中央统计局2010年5月31日发布公告说, 印度今年第一季度的国内生产总值(GDP) 较上一年同期增长8.6%,远高于去年第四季 度的6.5%。2009—2010财政年度的GDP增 长 为 7.2% ,总 值 1.33 万 亿 美 元。印 度 财 长 预 测2010—2011财政年度(到2011年3月31日 止)的GDP增长8.5%,达1.5万亿美元。 印度经济产业多元化,涵盖农业、手工艺、纺织

以至服务业。印度三分二人口仍然直接或简接依 靠农业维生。另外,印度政府致力发展高科技, 经过多年的努力,已显成效。今日印度已成为 发展中的科技大国。印度的软件技术、出口规 模和质量仅次于美国居世界第二位。印度已成 为世界上最大的软件生产和出口大国之一。 随着印度加入世贸组织后,已于2010年4月取 消所有进口产品的数量限制,并对关税作了较 大调整,全面废除进口许可证管理,对进口采 取以关税管理为主的措施。 印度的旅游业在90年代被列为国家重点发展的 产业,完全对外开放。据旅游局的估算,2006 年去印度旅行的游客多达440万。当地政府大 力鼓励海内外企业于当地投资建设酒店,为促 进旅游业发展解决客房供不应求的问题,未 来,印度政府将致力发展酒店业。在酒店、旅 游度假村等开发项目增长显著的支持下,印度 家具市场潜力雄厚。

印度家具市场: 印度家具及家居配件市场总值 105亿美元,成 为中国及东南亚各国企业积极拓展 的目标,随 着该国经济的增长,家具市场更是迅速 扩张, 前景乐观;预料2011年,市场总值将达150 亿 美元! 马来西亚是印度的其中一个重要家具供应地, 在印度进口市场占有15%,约值7016万美元。 排行榜首的是中国,它占印度进口家具总额近 42%;在过去5年至7年,印度从中国进口的家 具总值,以每年约45%的速度增长。 中国家具的价格低廉,令它在印度广受欢迎。 至于马来西亚家具,则以品质取胜,属于中上 档次的家具。

与印度参展商进行贸易交流

意大利及德国的家具,设计卓越及品质上乘; 相应地,价格也十分高昂,主要销售对象是印 度的高阶层人士。 对于马来西亚家具业者而言,印度市场发展潜 能极大,尤其是根据印度第十个五年计划,该 国仍缺乏2240万个居所。未来10至15年,印 度需兴建9000万个新住宅单位,以照顾低收入 阶层的需求。在这情况下,印度对家具的需求 势必扬升。 此外,印度零售业、酒店业及办公室产业的需 求持续增长,也为印度家具业缔造大量商机。 印度家具业以3个界别为主:民用家具(占市 率65%)、办公室家具(占市率20%)及订制 家具(占15%)。 到@home家具广场进行考察

马来西亚家具业者供应给印度市场的,主要是 民用家具及办公室家具。同时,与其余国家雷 同,大马的橡胶木家具在印度市场极受欢迎。 无论如何,马来西亚家具业者在开拓印度市场 时,目前仍面对一些难题,包括超过40%的入 口税,以及印度家具零售业还未开放给外国人 参与。 目前,印度政府只允许外国人,以合作模式来 参与家具零售业(意即门市生意)。在这种合 作模式下,印度人必须持有股权的51%。 总括来说,从中国及马来西亚进口各种家具, 令不少印度家具业的生意火花,鉴于市场对进 口家具需求庞大,不少印度公司除了生产,也 开始拓展进口业务;目前印度家具进口商已超 过1万家。 无论如何,印度的人力资源庞大及低廉,也为

当地生产商造成一定的优势。他们尝试进口原 料,大量制作家具,减低生产成本的同时,也 以低售价来迎合消费者需求。

印度消费者的品味趋于成熟,对于设计优良的 品牌家具及布置用品需求也日益殷切,带来源 源商机。

许多印度公司已和德国及意大利公司结为伙 伴,以引进品牌、技术或专门产品。这些合资 或合作安排是为了提供高档产品。

The Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association organised a 6-days5-nights field study to Mumbai, India from 7th October 2010 to 12 October 2010. The itinerary included trade matching, visits to exhibitions, furniture retailers/factories, as well as an interactive session with the Malaysia External Trade Development Council in India.

其中Durian Furniture Retail Shop是首间大规 模输入外地,特别是东南亚家具的公司,已经 建立自己的品牌形象。他们的进口家具没有品 牌,经由小店或是一些大型零售商销售,例如 Future Group的Furniture Bazaar、Shoppers ’ Stop的HomeStop、Trent的Westside等。 在家具设计方面,印度缺乏家具设计师,家具 设计也不被视为职业,不过随着家具业变得更 有组织,家具设计或会成为俱有前景的职业。

and accessories and the exhibitors are mostly from India, Italy, Brazil, Taiwan, Malaysia and other regions. KLSFEA visited the Mumbai International Furniture Fair 2010 INDEX MUMAI (INTERZUM) organised by the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC) in Mumbai, India. The exhibition showcased furniture, hardware and accessories with the exhibitors hailing mostly from India, Italy, Brazil, Taiwan, Malaysia and other regions. Last year, the Bombay Exhibition Centre attracted 25,591 members of the public, with 53% of growth compared to before. This year, the furniture exhibition was divided into a few segments, such as home appliances, lighting and accessories, kitchen and bathroom appliances, woodworking machinery, office and contract furniture section etc. Besides, there is also an increase in the leisure and outdoor furniture section to add much vibrancy and variety to the exhibition.

INDIA POPULATION India is the world’s second most densely populated country with a population of more than 1.1 billion that includes, nearly 300 million people in the middle class. When India achieved independence in 1947 their population stood at less than 360 million. The latest statistics in 2010 shows a population over 1.17 billion, and fast approaching 1.2 billion. According to the report from the National Population Stabilization Fund in India, it stated that by year 2026, India’s population will have increased by 371 million to nearly 1.5 billion and exceeded China’s current population of 1.35 billion.

INDIA’S ECONOMY India is one of the fastest growing country, boasting impressive economic growth. Since 1991, India’s economic reforms have achieved very good results, with the gross domestic product (GDP) growing at a rate of 8% annually.

India’s Central Bureau of Statistics announced on May 31, 2010 that the first quarter of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) has grown over 8.6% compared to a year before, above 6.5% in the fourth quarter of the previous year. GDP growth in the fiscal year of 2009-2010 was 7.2%, and worth 1.33 trillion U.S. dollars. The Indian Finance Minister has forecast, for FY 2010-2011 (Up till March 31, 2011), the GDP will be growing at 8.5%, reaching INR1.5 trillion. India has diverse economic sectors, including agriculture, handicrafts, textiles and services. However, two-thirds of India’s population are still directly or indirectly dependent on the agricultural sector. In addition, the Indian Government is committed to the development of technology and it has paid off after years of effort. Today, India has become one of the most advanced developing countries for scientific and technological progress. India’s software technology, scale of production and quality of exports are ranked second in the world, after the United States. India has since

become one of the world’s largest software production and export.

INDIA FURNITURE MARKET The furniture and home accessories market in India are worth a total of USD 10.5 billion, and is thus the ideal market for China and Southeast Asian countries to expand their businesses to. Along with the country’s steady economic growth, the furniture market is expanding rapidly and in 2011, the market value will be expected to reach USD150 billion. Malaysia is one of the most important of India’s furniture suppliers and it occupies 15% of India import market share, which is worth about USD7016 million. The most important of India’s furniture suppliers is China, which occupies nearly 42% of the total imports of furniture into the Indian market. In the past 5 to 7 years, total furniture imports from China to India spots a growth rate of about 45% annually. China’s furniture is low in cost and this garners popularity for these China products in India. The advantage of Malaysia’s furniture is the high -grade quality furniture. When it comes to Italy and Germany furniture, their main target is India’s Upper class population due to their high cost but valuable with excellent design and superior quality. There is great potential in the Indian market for Malaysia’s furniture industry, especially in the tenth five-year plan of India, the country is still lacking 22.4 million homes. In the next 10 to 15 years, India needs to build 90 million new housing units to cater to the needs of the low-income groups. In this case, the demand for furniture in India is bound to increase by leaps and bounds. In addition, the Indian retail trade, hotels and office requirements of the industry continues to grow in demand, creating a large number of business opportunities for the furniture industry in India. The Indian furniture industry is dominated by three sectors: household furniture (65% market share), office furniture (accounting for 20% market rate), and custom furniture (15%). The furniture that Malaysia supplies the Indian market is mainly home furniture and office furniture. At the same time, Malaysia’s rubber wood furniture is popular in the Indian market.

is still facing much difficulties in developing the Indian market; besides expenses incurred from the import duty tax which is more than 40%, the furniture retail in India is not open to globalisation. Currently, the Indian government only allows foreign enterprises to enter the market in a cooperative system with furniture retailers (store businesses) with the Indians holding at least a stake of 51% on that. In short, India imports all kinds of furniture from China and Malaysia and this helps to promote these foreign businesses in India. Given the huge demand for its’ import market, many Indian companies have started to expand the import business beyond production. Currently, there are more than ten thousand furniture importers in India On the other hand, India’s vast human resources and low production costs are advantageous to the producers in India. They import raw materials and carry out mass production of furniture to reduce production costs, while also selling it at low prices to meet consumer demands. Many Indian companies have cooperated with the German and Italian companies to introduce branding , technical excellence and specialization into the products. The purpose of joint ventures and collaboration is to provide high-end products for the India market. Durian Furniture Retail Shop is the first largescale furniture import enterprise working with foreign companies, especially the furniture companies from Southeast Asia. It has established its own brand image by not putting down any brands on their imports of furniture; it sells through smaller shops and large retailers such as Future Group’s Furniture Bazaar, HomeStop by Shoppers’ Stop and Trent’s Westside etc. Furniture design in India is not perceived as a worthy profession in the past. However, with the furniture industry flourishing, furniture design might become a promising career in the future. Due to the maturing taste of Indian consumers, thus, the brand and quality design of furniture is also becoming more demanding and this definitely brings business opportunities into this particular industry.

DEPUTY PRESIDENT OF KLSFEA, EDMOND CHEW KAR CHONG I suggest that our peers in the industries should focus their efforts on the the newly established free trade agreement (FTA) and open market,

take the chance to plan and restructure and strengthen collaboration with China. The establishment of the FTA helps to promote and stabilise the economy in the Asian region and state politics, as well as to reduce the effect arising from changes in Europe’s political and economic situations.

中国家具企业 转战国内市场

CHINA FURNITURE ENTERPRISES FOUGHT IN DOMESTIC MARKET 从2008年国际金融危机开始,中国外销市场越来越难开拓,就国内而言, 伴随着房地产 市场的高速发展,国内市场对家具产品的需求越来越大,且随 着国家一线城市的大规模 扩张和对二三线城市的开发,家具产品需求日趋旺 盛。因此,那些长期依靠出口的家具 企业开始转而关注国内市场。 中国家具协会发布的数据显示,内销市场已经 连续多年保持在15%以上的增长,年销量突破了 4000亿元(马币1905令吉)。由于出口转内销 的家具企业不断出现,因而竞争越来越激烈。 业内人士认为,出口加工型企业在开拓国内市 场时,产品的质量和技术都不存在问题,关键 在于销售渠道的建立和品牌推广。 在建设销售渠道中,不少企业采取了经销商、 特许经营以及直营店的模式,而在品牌推广 时,多数资质优厚的企业首先将目光落在了政 府采购市场,政府采购市场潜在的品牌推广影 响力和稳定的现金流成为他们选择政府采购市 场的首要因素。 2009年全国政府采购规模达到7413.2亿元( 马币3530亿令吉),中央国家机关政府采购 中心完成的采购金额就达147.42亿元(马币 70.2亿令吉),其中办公家具采购规模就达到 2.83亿元(马币1.35亿令吉),预计今后几年 采购规模还将稳步增长。 尽管政府采购领域的优势以及巨大的市场需求 吸引了众多家具企业的参与,但《政府采购信 息报》统计的数据显示,只有在这一领域深耕 多年的企业才能分得更大的市场份额,多数企 业都沦为陪衬的角色,其原因在于采购人更愿 意接受自己熟悉的企业所提供的产品。因而对 政府采购市场仍显陌生的企业而言,注重培养 用户对产品的认知以及体验至关重要。

家具业上半年出口增长33% 国家海关总署对外公布今年上半年中国外贸进 出口情况。数据显示 ,今年1至6 月全国家具 出口156.4亿美元(马币508.3亿令吉),增长 33%,加快6.4%。 尽管数据增长,但业内人士表示,目前家具出 口企业的困难仍然较大。从规模以上企业来 看,以内销为主的品牌企业发展趋势较好,以 出口为主的企业特别是出口欧美为主的企业困 难较多,个别企业下降幅度比较大。 金融危机使全球市场萎缩,一部分主力外销市场 的家具生产企业,为了保持公司正常运转,纷纷 把目光放回国内市场,寻求更多更好的商机。 Since the international financial crisis in year 2008, China has faced the difficulty of exporting to the Mainland markets. Due to the rapid development of the real estate market, the large-scale expansion of the country’s first-tier cities and the development of second and third tier cities, the demand for furniture products has tremendously increased in domestic market. Thus, furniture companies who used to handle exports began to focus on domestic market instead. China Furniture Association released data that shows a stable 15% growth in annual sales volume in the domestic market has been maintained for several years, and it

exceeded CNY 400 billion (RM190.5 billion). As the domestic furniture companies chose to go for domestic sales over export, more competition arose . The industry believes that quality and technical expertise will not pose any problems for enterprises expanding within the domestic market. On the other hand, the key in expanding the market lies in the establishment of sales channels and brand promotion. Most of the enterprises build its sales channels through dealers, franchising and the Guide’s model. In term of brand promotion, most corporations would choose to rely on government procurement market as the primary strategy as it has the brand influence of potential market and stable cash flow. In year 2009, the scale of government procurement has reached CNY 741.32 billion (RM 353 billion) and the State agency’s procurement value of the Central Government Procurement Centre has reached CNY 14.742 billion (RM 7.02 billion). In which the sale of office furniture alone has reached CNY 283 million (RM 135 million) with expectations of steady growth in the next few years. Despite the advantages of government procurement and the huge market demand which has attracted the participation of many furniture companies, the Statistical data of

KLSFEA 142

pg140-158.indd 142

2/8/11 3:15:50 PM


“government procurement information” shows that only experienced enterprises own a larger market share, with the majority of companies taking a smaller piece of the pie as people are more willing to purchase products from enterprises they recognise. For companies that are unfamiliar with the Government procurement market , it is essential for them to focus on product knowledge and experience.

33% FURNITURE INDUSTRY EXPORTS GREW 33% IN THE FIRST HALF State General Administration of Customs has

announced the China’s foreign trade imports and exports situation in the first half of this year. Data shows that from January to June this year, the country exported USD 15.64 billion of furniture (RMB 50.83 billion), with a growth of 33%, and a rate of increase of 6.4%. Despite the positive data showing growth, people in the industry reported that the furniture export enterprises are still facing difficulties. Looking at the upper-scale enterprises, domestic-oriented enterprises are expanding well. On the other hand, the export-

oriented enterprises, especially those dealing with Europe and America are facing more difficulties,with a relatively large decline among individual enterprises. In order to maintain the normal operations of the company in the global market financial crisis, some of the export furniture manufacturing enterprises have ventured back into the domestic market to seek more and better opportunities.

会员大会推动会务发展

ORGANISING MEMBERS’ CONFERENCE TO PROMOTE OPERATIONS DEVELOPMENT

隆雪家具企业商会举办常年会员大会,共商对策,推 动会务发展,并且进 一步发展我国家具业。 许 裕也说,家具制造向来属于环保工业,采 用原材料制造,当中使用少量化学物品,只衍 生垃圾处理问题。 因此,他希望政府不要强逼厂商设立达20万令 吉的卫生设备,因为小型厂商不能负荷。

本会于2010年4月29日举办“ 2010年常年会员 大会” ,并且在会议上通过7项提案;大会议 长为黄郁 。本会是依据章程,每年4月30日 之前必须举办常年会员大会。 在今年的大会上,最为会员及媒体关注的是雪 州国际家具城的进展。会长许 裕指出,本会 已物色数个地段,与雪州政府洽谈以发展雪州 国际家具城。 他强调,一旦雪州国际家具城建竣启用,即可 将本地家具业带上国际轨道,预计家具业成长 率可增加50%。 此外,他也提及外劳课题,促请政府仔细研究家 具业面对的窘境,特别是调整外劳人头税、申请 外劳手续的繁文缛节等,令家具业者很为难。

The Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association holds its Organising Members’ Conference (OMC) annually to discuss strategies to promote operations development and further develop Malaysia’s furniture industry. KLSFEA organised its 2010 Annual OMC on 29th April 2010. There are seven motions that have been approved during the meeting. The Chairman of the Conference is Huang Yushen. According to the constitution of KLSFEA, the annual OMC must be held before 30th April each year. During this year’s OMC, the progress of the Selangor International Furniture Hub has become the main concern of most members and the media. President Richard Ko pointed out that KLSFEA had identified a few locations, and KLSFEA was in discussions with the Selangor state government about the development of the Selangor International Furniture Hub.

He stressed that once the Selangor International Furniture Hub had been constructed and launched, it could bring the local furniture industry into the international market. By that time, the growth of the furniture industry is expected to increase by 50%. In addition, he also brought up the issue of foreign labour. He urged the government to examine the dilemma faced by the furniture industry, especially since revisions of foreign workers’ levies and complex paperwork and red tape involving licence applications for foreign workers had been making things very difficult for furniture industry players. Richard Ko also said that furniture manufacturing had always been considered a part of environmentally-friendly industries, as raw materials were used in the manufacturing process and only a small quantity of chemical products was involved, so industry players only needed to deal with waste disposal problems. Therefore, he hoped the government could stop compelling manufacturers to establish sanitary facilities that cost RM200,000 because small companies would not be able to afford the cost.

ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES/ INTRODUCTION The 2010 annual general meeting of the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association was held at the association’s building on the 29th of April. Members responded actively in the AGM in which seven motions aimed at improving the furniture trade were passed. Motions Passed at the 2010 Annual General Meeting 1. That this meeting, mindful of the goals of establishing a single unified trade association and bringing about unanimity within the industry, calls on the Malaysian Furniture Industry Council (MFIC) and the Malaysia Furniture Entrepreneur Association (MFEA) to promptly realize the merger of the two associations. Such a merger will not only unite, strengthen and benefit the furniture industry, but will also improve dialogue between industrial players and the relevant government authorities. 2. That this meeting calls on the government and the relevant authorities to come up with long-term and comprehensive policies addressing the issues faced by furniture entrepreneurs due to the shortage of foreign workers. In this respect, the government should ease the foreign labour quota, expedite the approval process for applications to employ foreign workers and approve the entire foreign labour quota as stated in the employers’ applications. Foreign labour policies that are liberal, rational and effective will serve to ensure that Malaysia maintains its standing as the world’s 10th furniture exporter. 3. That this meeting calls on the Selangor state government to work closely with furniture entrepreneurs in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor to jointly develop the Selangor International Furniture City into a one-stop facility for the furniture industry, following which the relocation of illegal factories away from Sungai Buloh can be facilitated. It is also hoped that the government can provide support and funding in every respect so as to realize the development of the Furniture City on a land area of over 1000 acres located in the vicinity of Port Kelang.

4. That this meeting calls on the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association to help showcase Malaysian brands at the China Beijing International Furniture Exhibition and to foster the penetration of Malaysian furniture into the Chinese market. Incorporating the technologies and product advantages of the Sino-Malaysian furniture industries will allow both countries to excel in the global furniture trade. 5. That this meeting calls on the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association to set up testing centres to assess non-proprietary technologies of the furniture industry. Through such testing centres, the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association can, based upon its professional expertise and competence, provide consultation services, technical advice and various testing services to help industry players and to enhance their competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. 6. That this meeting, mindful of the need for members of the trade to come together to develop the furniture industry, the need to promote mutual benefits and the need to defend the rights of furniture entrepreneurs, calls on the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association to proactively recruit members so as to attain the membership goal of 1000 members as soon as possible. 7. That this meeting, noting the importance of reconciliation and seeking to allay the concerns of furniture entrepreneurs from the authority’s frequent crackdowns on contravening manufacturers, calls on the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association to improve dialogue with the Department of Environment, to obtain in-depth knowledge on legislations governing environmental quality as well as environmental norms and standards issued by the Department of Environment and to report to the Department of Environment the challenges and difficulties encountered by the manufacturers of Sungai Buloh.

大马家具走向世界

MALAYSIA’S FURNITURE INDUSTRY GOES INTERNATIONAL

在马来西亚家具业者的共同努力下,大马家具如今 已经是一个年出口总值达到近百亿令吉的行业。

作者:林幸昌Lim Sin Cheong 职位:《联合日报》经济组主任 United Daily News Business Editor

还记得在1988年时,我国家具出口的总值只不

这样的努力不只令到马来西亚家具的品牌在国

购兴,因为国际家具市场到处充斥着许多不同

过是处于约1亿2千万令吉的水平而已,不过, 到了 1999年便已经 大幅攀升 的50亿零 吉,这 意味在这十一年是这一行业的黄金时期,因为 我国家具出口业几乎每一年都取得40%的复合 增长率。

际家具上占有一席之位,同时也进一步将我国 的家具业出口总值推至另一个高峰。

国家或地区的家具产品,可供这些买家选择。

当时,最大的单一买家主要是来自美国,占大 马家具出口超过30%的份额。接着是日本,占 约15%到20%的份额。当时大部份的国内家具 出口是通过代理和分销商销售给美国顾客。这 些代理和分销商是本身的品牌分销这些家具。 尽管我国家具出口在90年取代大跃进,但是国 内家具业者并没有因此放松,反而更积极地提 升大马家具的素质,以及加入更多创意,并且 开创自己的品牌,直接吸引来自世界各地的更 多买家。

根据马来西亚家具促进局首席营运员区达平在 2010年6月份表示,马来西亚的家具总出口额 预计将会在在2010年内达至100亿令吉。 这意 味着马来 西亚家具出 口继1999年突破 50 亿令吉之后的十一年,也就是2010年将进一步 翻倍至100亿令吉。 这是本地家具业者值得骄傲的成就,因为如果 没有业者以及各有关方面的互相配合,这样的 成就是很难达到的。 众所周知,家具行业是一个竞争激烈的行业, 马来西亚家具业者的品牌或是产品,如果少一 点品质或是少一些创意,将无法吸引到买家的

而马来西亚家具如今可以在国际市场上站稳步 伐,显示了我国家具确实拥有本身的竞争优 势。举个例子,中国家具业者在工资成本方面 占优势,在价格方面,大马业者可能无法与中 国业者竞争,但是马来西亚在其它方面依然较 中国占优势,其中包括拥有稳定的管理政策、 先进的基本设施、创新的设计、高水平的品质 等,这些都是令到大马家具在国际市场更有具 竞争力的主因。 无论如何,与其他出口行业一样,大马家具出 口行业也不时面对各种的挑战,例如金融海 啸、全球经济衰退以及美国市场萎缩等,而 2010年的最大挑战便是来自令吉汇率的升值。 众所周知,今年以来令吉汇率大幅升值超过

KLSFEA 152

pg140-158.indd 152

2/8/11 3:16:09 PM


10%,已经对国内的家具出口业者造成重大的 打击,这主要是因为我国家具业者一般赚幅不 超过10%,如果令吉兑换美元汇率增值的幅度 达到10%,将使这些业者蒙受亏损。 此外,除了需要关注令吉汇率的走势之外,政 府逐步削减燃油补贴,而使到电费和天然气未 来几年显著调涨,也将对国内的家具业者带来 严峻的挑战。

total furniture export revenue is expected to reach RMB10 billion in 2010. This means that 11 years after it hit record high figures of RMB5 billion in revenue in 1999, Malaysia’s furniture export market will experience exponential growth and achieve RMB10 billion in revenue in 2010.

无论如何,尽管摆在国内家具业者的前路依然 艰辛,但是凭着家具业者过去面对各种挑战的 经验和毅力,就算前路再多么地困难和荆棘, 都不会难到马来西亚家具业者,相信他们在克 服务这些困难之后,会继续稳步地带领马来西 亚家具业再创高峰!

In any case, just like the export sector of other industries, Malaysia’s furniture export market is also faced with various challenges from time to time, such as the financial tsunami, the global economic recession and bleak outlook in the US market. In 2010, the greatest challenge faced by the industry comes from the appreciation of the Malaysian ringgit.

The furniture industry in Malaysia has now become a profession with almost RMB10 billion in annual export revenue, thanks to the joint efforts of industry players. In 1988, Malaysia’s total annual revenue from furniture export was only about RMB120 million. However, the industry achieved exponential growth of RMB5 billion by 1999. With export revenue increasing at a compound growth rate of 40% every year, these 11 years signified a prime period for Malaysia’s furniture industry. During that time, the biggest purchasers were mainly from the United States. This group accounted for over 30% of Malaysia’s furniture export sales. This was followed by Japan which accounted for about 15% to 20% of the export revenue. At that time, most of our local furniture was exported to US clients through agents and distributors, who sold these furniture products under their own brands. Although Malaysia’s furniture export market improved by leaps and bounds in the 90s, local industry players did not rest on their laurels. On the contrary, they worked even harder to improve Malaysia’s furniture quality, upped a notch on innovation and created their own brands, in order to attract more purchasers from around the world. Such efforts have not only given local brands a slice of the international furniture market share, they have also elevated Malaysia’s furniture export revenue to greater heights. According to a statement made by Mr. Au Leck Chai, CEO of Malaysian Furniture Promotion Council (MFPC), in June 2010, Malaysia’s

local furniture truly has its own competitive advantages. To cite an example, China’s furniture industry players enjoy labour cost advantages and Malaysia’s furniture businessmen are unable to compete with them in terms of pricing, but Malaysia still has advantages over China in other aspects, including the stability of management policies, advanced infrastructure, innovative design, high quality, etc. These are the main factors that can further enhance the competitiveness of Malaysia’s furniture industry in the international arena.

As we all know, the ringgit has appreciated by more than 10% this year. The huge margin of increase has dealt a huge blow to local furniture exporters. This is mainly because the profit margin for local furniture businessmen is generally less than 10% and if the ringgit appreciates by 10% against the US dollar, these businessmen would incur losses. Local furniture industry players should be proud of this accomplishment as it would be very hard to achieve such targets without collaboration among industry players and all parties concerned. As we all know, the furniture industry is a highly competitive profession. If our local furniture products or brands are slightly lacking in quality or creativity, they would not be able to attract purchasers or get them interested, especially in the international furniture market which is full of products from many different countries or regions for these purchasers to choose from. However, the fact that Malaysia’s furniture industry can now have a firm foothold in the international market has shown that our

After overcoming these difficulties, they would definitely be able to continue their journey steadfastly and lead Malaysia’s furniture industry to scale greater heights.
