Thrust 4:

The Global Entrepreneurship Expansion (GEE) Plan

MCA will be setting up a Global Entrepreneurship Expansion (GEE) Plan to gather well-known Malaysian brands together with dynamic new companies to embark on overseas missions to seek joint ventures. The areas of focus of such missions include ICT, modern agriculture, retail branding (especially in the food and beverage sector), oil and gas, and renewable energy.

MCA will facilitate the expansion programmes of SMEs to promote Malaysian products and services by helping them negotiate directly with overseas parties collectively as well as dealing with foreign trade-related government agencies.

With the advent of globalisation and the ever-increasing emphasis on the knowledge economy, coupled with the rise of China, the role of the Malaysian Chinese Economic Consultative Council (MCECC) and the Chinese-based Chambers of Commerce and the Trade Associations has never been more important to our nation’s economic development.

Association secretariats will need to facilitate closer co-operation among their members and their industry to ensure that they remain viable. They will need to support and commit themselves to helping their members achieve successful business management outcomes. As economic development and planning will increasingly become more decentralised, there will also be more pressure for local trade associations to transform themselves to be more efficient in serving their members’ needs and finding appropriate solutions. As such, they will need to adopt more professional and modern administrative systems, including hiring professionals and conducting market research and industry studies.

MCA’s plans to actively engage business-based organisations include:
  • working with MCECC to organize one-to-one dialogues with various Chambers of Commerce and Trade Associations at all levels;
  • providing associations with training in modern management and lobbying techniques through KTAR;
  • facilitating strategic alliances among the associations and SMEs so that they can work with MNCs and be directly involved in the Economic Corridors;
  • stepping up the role of MCA’s State EXCO such that they play a more pro-business role, looking after the economic development of their respective states.
