MASSA – Malaysia South-South Association

Bridging the South-South

The Malaysia South-South Association was formed in 1991.  MASSA’s existence evolved from the fact that Malaysian industries, manufacturers and service-oriented businesses should explore the potential of the developing or South-South nations that could offer vast opportunities for trade and investment.  In order to achieve this, the Malaysian Government, under the concept of “Malaysia Incorporated” has been very supportive of the initiatives of MASSA in enabling its members to avail themselves of the opportunities for the establishment of business linkages and presence in the South-South countries by providing the mechanism and framework to bolster the confidence of Malaysian entrepreneurs to undertake businesses in these emerging market economies.

MASSA aims to promote bilateral trade and investment ties with South-South countries, by serving as a platform and link between the Malaysian business community and the South countries.  Specifically, its roles are:

• To promote and enhance members’ knowledge and understanding on economic, trade and investment policies and conditions of the South-South countries;
• To act as an informal liaison body between the private sector and the Government pertaining to economic matters in the promotion of trade and investment;
• To provide a forum for the dissemination of ideas, discussions and dialogues in relation to trade, economy and culture;
• To enhance trade and investment relations and to foster friendship and co-operation among the members.

ACTIVITIES

MASSA’s objectives are carried out through various activities, i.e.

• Business forums/dialogue sessions between MASSA members and visiting delegations from the South-South nations;
• Fact-finding, trade and investment missions to South-South countries;
• Participate in fact-finding, trade and investment missions as well as appropriate international exhibitions;
• Organise seminars and briefing sessions for members on relevant issues for its members;
• Serve as a resource on economic information on trade and investment opportunities in South-South countries.

MAJECA Business Mission to Yokohama and Tokyo, Japan (3rd – 8th October, 2010)

MAJECA, in collaboration with the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) Malaysia, and with the endorsement of MATRADE, will be organising a business mission to Yokohama and Tokyo, Japan from 3 to 8 October 2010.

A Japanese consultant company offering advisory services to companies who are interested in the Japanese market has this to say:

“The Japanese market has proved to be the world’s most profitable for many companies, most notably designer brands such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Prada etc. but also for a second tier of much smaller specialist component, product and service suppliers. Entry into the Japanese market can be one of the most profitable business decisions you ever make.  Successful Japanese market entry needs a sales oriented understanding of the Japanese market, an achievable 3 – 5 year business strategy and clear cost and budget control policies. Taking the time to fully understand the Japanese market opportunities for your products and services, putting in place a sustainable and achievable strategy and ensuring that value will be returned from every Yen spent, prior to “pouring concrete” in your Japanese market entry are three of the key insider secrets to successfully setting up and doing business in Japan.”

Malaysian companies looking into market entry into Japan are encouraged to take this excellent opportunity of participating in the business mission as our co-organiser JETRO, as well as MATRADE and MIDA offices in Tokyo, would be able to give sound and good advice as to how to do successful business in Japan.

We have attached herewith a promotional flyer on the business mission as well as the registration form for your perusal and completion. Interested companies are urged to register early to give our counterpart organisations adequate time to locate and invite suitable Japanese companies to meet you.
