Industries Forum

– Moving Forward”

| About the forum
Malaysia has what it takes to emerge as a serious player in the marine
industries which include shipbuilding, ship repairing, support services,
and leisure industries. However, the development of these industries is
hindered by many issues and challenges. Generally, the industries in the
country face stiff competition globally and regionally. The activities
involved in marine industries are both capital and labour-intensive.
Malaysian shipyards are not technically capable of building and servicing
more sophisticated ocean-going vessels. They do not possess the
technological prowess that leading shipbuilding nations like Korea and
Japan have, nor do they have the economies of scale and abundant, cheap
labour that China enjoys.
Despite 60 years of experience in marine industry, Malaysia is still very far
from being internationally known. In the absence of concerted effort, the
industry is fragmented. There is an urgent need for Malaysia to have
a collective mind and develop strategic plans for the industry. With
this in the background, this forum is organised to provide an avenue
for the stakeholders in the industries to come together to voice out
their problems and provide inputs on ways that will spur the
industries to compete internationally.
Objectives

|
To provide
a national platform for open exchange of views on issues

|
To provide findings and feedbacks to relevant government agencies in
reviewing the Third Industrial Master Plan (IMP3), and to provide
guidance for future development of IMP.
