On the 21st of March 2023, EUROCHAM Malaysia was invited to a second-round session of the Malaysia Productivity Corporation's (MPC) workshop to enhance the efficiency of expatriates' work permits in Malaysia, which was conducted in Hotel Hilton Petaling Jaya. The workshop began with the opening remarks from The Honourable Y.Bhg Dato' Ts. V Valluvan A/L Veloo, Director of Manufacturing Industry, Science and Technology Section Division, Ministry of Economy, followed by a sharing session on the expatriate’s application system by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), discussion on concerns from the industry and chambers, and way forward to expedite the expatriates' work permit applications. 

All of the concerns raised are being taken into consideration by MPC, MDEC and other government agencies, who will then present these concerns to the Federal Government. More engagement sessions with the industry and various chambers will be conducted to facilitate the issuance of expatriate work permit that could further enhance assisting Malaysia to be at par with other developing nations.

A successful and joyous St Patrick’s Day Breakfast celebration in collaboration with our fellow bilateral chamber, the Irish Chamber of Commerce in Malaysia (ICCM) was held last week. The celebration was focused on the St. Patrick’s Day Celebration, in Ireland with the EU in Malaysia.

The breakfast celebration was welcomed by Mr Donal Crotty, Chairman and CEO of the Irish Chamber of Commerce Malaysia (ICCM), as he opened the event with a colourful and delightful speech to start the celebration. The floor was then passed to Mr Oliver Roche, Chairman of EUROCHAM Malaysia to share an introduction to EUROCHAM Malaysia and bring the context of Ireland with the EU in Malaysia. The event proceeded with an introduction and speech by our Guest of Honour, H.E. Hillary Reilly, Ambassador of Ireland to Malaysia. The St. Patrick’s Day breakfast celebration was then graced by the presence and a keynote address by Mr Niall Collins T.D., Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science with Special Responsibility for Skills and Further Education.

The breakfast celebration would not have been a success if not for the Platinum sponsor, Hansel and Gretel Experience Driven School, in attendance on behalf of Hansel and Gretel was Mr Andrew Chong, Finance & Strategic Development, who is also the Deputy Head of our Education Sector Committee. EUROCHAM Malaysia garnered support from our fellow bilateral chambers and strategic partner, which brought an additional European element to the event.
