MITI in the NewsGeneration of New Exporters (GenEX) Programme to Boost

Bumiputera’s Youth Engagement in Export Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) in a collaboration with Generasi Muda Berjaya (GMB) launched a specialised programme targeting Bumiputera youth called Generation of New Exporters (GenEX). The programme was launched at Menara MATRADE today by Minister of International Trade & Industry YB Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed.

Aimed at increasing Bumiputera youth’s involvement in export, GenEX came about as a result of a Memorandum of Understanding between MATRADE and GMB that was signed at Kongres 2015, organised recently by GMB. MATRADE’s

MATRADE, 11 February 2016

Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Dzulkifli Mahmud said, “The programme is timely and will help push the youth in business to venture more into export. MATRADE as the country’s trade promotion agency will render its full support in terms of capacity building for the participants in this programme.”

Via the programme, GMB will be scouting for 100 youth-owned companies in Malaysia to be GenEX’s participants. The criterion for the participants are – Malaysian Bumiputera youth companies, provide any high-potential products/services, have a sound business plan, apply good ethics and best practices in business and are export-ready.

Of the 100 participants, 30 will stand a chance to start exporting their products or services to five countries namely United Kingdom, Dubai, Singapore, the Netherlands and Qatar. In the programme, the youth business owners also will have an opportunity to pitch for fund for their export business. GMB’s President Agil Faisal Ahmad Fadzil mentioned, “Companies that are not selected will still be able to market their offerings through the Malaysian Brand Outlet (MBO) in Singapore’s Arab Street and MBO Kedai Mesra.”

In an effort to accelerate Malaysia’s performance in export, the Government through its ministries and agencies will continue to encourage more Malaysian companies to be part of export. Malaysian youth who are business owners have been recognised as the main players in helping the nation move towards this direction.

“This strategic collaboration between MATRADE and GMB will not only generate new talents in export but allow youth-owned businesses to be the catalyst to job creations, apart from increasing the country’s income through export,” Dato’ Dzulkifli opined. He adds that Malaysian youth-owned companies should also leverage on MATRADE’s 46 international offices to link with potential buyers from around the world.

Azman Hamzah Plastik Sdn. Bhd.

Azman Hamzah Plastik Sdn Bhd. (AHP) today stands proud as a Bumiputera Tier 1 vendor in the local automotive industry. Founded by Managing Director, Encik Mohd Fitri Md Aris in 1989, AHP now has three factories, of which two in Shah Alam, Selangor and one in Tanjung Malim, Perak.

The company specializes in precision plastic injection molding and component assembly for the automotive industry. Its wide range of machineries, software and equipment, as well as its state-of-the-art in-house tooling facilities and painting facility, set AHP apart from its competitors as the company offers a complete one- stop centre for its customers.

AHP produces more than 400 types of products including interior and exterior plastic components and engine component area. Its major customers include PROTON Holdings Bhd. (PERODUA), Malaysian Truck and Bus (MTB) and other automotive manufacturers and vendors. The company’s success is attribute to its founder, who is forward looking, financially savvy, perseverant and committed. Encik Mohd Fitri, in an earlier interview with a local media, revealed that his interest in business began when he was a cadet engineer with a shipping company. He then became a marketing executive at a public-listed engineering firm to learn about the intricacies of business, the government tender procedures and contract opportunities for the company.

He had also signed up for a six month entrepreneurial course, which he attended at night. Unable to spend much time with his family was just one of the sacrifices that Encik Mohd Fitri made during that time. Encik Mohd Fitri, who is keen in reading especially books on wealth management and business, believes that preparations in terms of mental, skills and knowledge is necessary before one ventures in business. He saw an opportunity when PROTON Holdings Bhd. Required local content development for the Proton Saga model to reduce dependency on components imported from Japan. This has opened up opportunities for local vendors to develop car components at a lower cost, provided they invest in their own injection molding machines.

Together with his partner who already owned a factory, Encik Mohd Fitri established the joint venture company called Azman Hamzah Plastik, with Encik Mohd Fitri holding the largest share in the company. From then on, his business progressed rapidly and the company benefited from the Government’s other national car projects such as PERODUA, Hicom Perkasa and Motosikal Dan Enjin Nasional Sdn. Bhd. (MODENAS).

While AHP’s competitive edge lies in its product quality and delivery time, the main factor shielding it from the Asian financial crisis in 1997-1998 was its prudent financial management. The company’s low debt gearing ratio and high liquidity has made it financially stable and helped it out of the crisis unscathed. With low debt/equity ratio, AHP could still service its bank loans at times when sales dropped. At the same time, it had reserves in the bank, which generated income through fixed deposits. This allowed the company to retain their workers and continue meeting the worker’s needs.

While a lot of companies, affected by the crisis, had to lay off their workers or went bust, AHP soldiered on. In fact, the economic downturn is also a blessing to AHP as it received more contracts from PROTON to produce car parts when many crisis-hit PROTON vendors were unable to deliver.

One of Encik Mohd Fitri’s advice to the young entrepreneurs is to invest in Amanah Saham Nasional (ASN). According to him, AHP invests regularly in ASN and had reaped handsome returns from the unit trust investments. Over the years, the company received a string of accolades from the Government and various institutions for its achievements, quality system

and management practice.

Among the awards that AHP received include Proton’s Best Vendor Award (Quality and Delivery) for 1994; Most Promising Customer from Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Bhd. In 1996; and Industry Excellence Award from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry in 1997. AHP also received the Enterprise 50 Award from Small & Medium Industries Development Corporation (SMIDEC) and Anderson Consulting in 1997, 1999, and 2001 (for 35th, 17th and 14th position, respectively); and Selangor Small and Medium Industry Award from the Selangor State Government in 1999.

In 2000, the company was acknowledged for its productivity through the National Productivity Corporation Award from National Productivity Corporation; and Human Resource Development Council Award for Small and Medium Employer from the Human Resource Ministry.In 2001, AHP received QS 9000 quality accreditation from Sirim Bhd and Excellent Quality Management Award from the Selangor State Government. The company bagged the Industry Excellence Award 2001-Quality Management (SMI) from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry; and Seventh Toyota (UMWT/ASSB) Supplier Award as ASSB’s Third Top Local Suppler for 2001 in Best Quality Performance.

It clinched Pelanggan Wawasan Award by Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Bhd. In 2002 and a year later, Employer Competitiveness Award Category Small & Medium Industry from the Ministry of Human Resources. In 2010, AHP received the Platinum Award for Lean Practitioner Certification Programme by Proton & Neville Clarke. Encik Mohd Fitri himself was awarded the 1998 Young Entrepreneur Award by the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development.

Moving forward, AHP has set its sight to gain greater market share in the regional and global market. The company is always improving its processes, designs and engineering practice to supply its products to a wider base of customers abroad. AHP’s three factories operate an ultrasonic and vibration welding, hot plate, assemblies, tooling fabrication and of course injection molding process. As for Research and Development, it offers a smooth development process of new products through creative design and innovative engineering practice as a strategy to avoid customers from just being a casual browser.
