Our EU and European Partners in Malaysia
EU – We are, as most countries in the EU, very proud of our nation and our culture and yet we are equivalently proud to call ourselves European. Our former Prime Minster Leo Varadker pronounced in his inaugural address to the European Union in 2018, that he was born a European and that status now represents the majority of the people in Ireland. It remains a disappointment in the decision of the UK to leave the EU in 2021, but we move on as loyal and committed Europeans, proud of our nationhood and our brotherhood in Europe.
As this applies to our ICCM mandate and our operations here in Malaysia, we are equally proud of the relationship we have and our commitment as a founder and bilateral member of EUROCHAM, the European Chamber of Commerce in Malaysia. Over the past many years, our members have benefitted greatly from our common approach with EUROCHAM working with them and our bilateral partners in the other chambers of commerce here. We recognise our size and importance as a business entity in Malayia is limited, however as a part of EUROCHAM we have a voice and we have meaningful representation at all levels of government, agency and business. This was most apparent over the recent years of the Covid Pandemic, when as most around the world, our members were in a place of the unknown, dealing with constant change in government regulation and controls including immigration, border controls, labour management and the basic SOP’s of operating a business here. Thanks to our engagement with EUROCHAM, we had access to informational webinars, the latest updates, we had influence on thinking and decision process of government and we had a place where we could both share our members challenges and be in a position to improve their realities.
