SUMMARY:U.S.-Malaysia Commercial Relations Conference & Luncheon Keynote Address by YBhg Dato Sri Mustapa Mohamed
DESCRIPTION:In conjuntion with ASEAN Economic Minister’s meeting\, AmCham Malaysia and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce jointly organized and inaugurated the U.S.-Malaysia Commercial Relations Conference. We would like to also express our appreciation to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry for supporting and endorsing the conference. Enhancing Economic Integration was the theme of the conference in support of the Malaysian Government’s initiative in facilitating and promoting trade and investment\, particularly through the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint and the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiation. The conference was put together to discuss issues close to the heart of the U.S. business community in Malaysia. It also aimed at facilitating a valuable and productive dialogue amongst Malaysian stakeholders to establish better understanding of the economic and commercial opportunities that TPP presents for Malaysian businesses. \nThe highlight of the day was a Keynote Speech by YBhg. Dato Sri Mustapa Mohamed\, Minister of the International Trade & Industry. Following are some highlights of Minister’s speech delivered. \n● ASEAN will stay on course with regional economic integration.\n● ASEAN must expedite the use of IT in facilitating intra-ASEAN trade and investments including addressing trade complaints.\n● ASEAN must continue to deepen economic integration by addressing regulations and promote greater transparency.\n● Last year\, ASEAN attracted US$136 billion in FDIs\, surpassing inflows to China. Intra-ASEAN investments contributed about 20 per cent of that total.\n● ASEAN’s external trade expanded to US$2.53 trillion last year from US$2.51 trillion recorded in 2013. Of this\, about 24 per cent was attributed to intra-ASEAN trade. \nAmCham would like to thank Minister YBhg Dato Sri Mustapa Mohamed for gracing the luncheon. The conference was well attended by 130+ participants from both public and private sector industries. We also like to thank all Speakers and Panelist who contributed their time of their busy schedule to join us nd sharing insights and expertise with the participants. \nAmCham like to also take this opportunity to thank our Corporate Sponsors: AmMetLife\, Pfizer\, Procter & Gamble\, TMF Group and UPS for their support towards the success of the Conference.

SUMMARY:MARI: Industry Academia Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:InterContinental Hotel\, Kuala Lumpur – The Malaysian Alternative & Renewable Industry (MARI)\, an active working group under AMCHAM; welcomed leaders from the Solar industry and key academia stakeholders that engaged in a constructive dialogue on furthering Industry Academia Collaborations (IAC). \nChaired by Dato’ P’ng Soo Hong\, VP & Managing Director of First Solar Malaysia\, and Chairman of MARI\, the dialogue began with the sharing of latest updates and current status on human capital development for the Solar industry. The shrinking of Malaysia’s talent pool for the solar industry is a critical concern where creates a direct impact upon the growth of the industry. Malaysian engineers encompass expertise on back end systems but lack device knowledge and front end processing. The average retention rate for talent is captured at 10%\, whereas the efflux pattern of talent migration is increasing. \nThe industry has commented on the hiring experience for fresh graduates include the insufficient competence of presentation\, communication and knowledge demonstration skills. The root cause of this is the lack of wholesome grooming and education in universities where graduates are portrayed to be unready for employment.\nNotable universities such as USM\, UKM\, UniKL\, UniMap & UTeM are committed to continue working towards bettering and developing the engineering curriculums catered for industry needs and requirements. \nTakeaways\n● Technical Symposium 2.0\n● IAC: Companies will embark on more engagements with universities in Northern\, Central and Southern regions\n● Universities are encouraged to be pro-active and engage closely with companies of the solar industry
