The Organiser

Sungai Buloh is the hub of furniture production for KL and Selangor; however there was no communication flow and connection among all the furniture producers.  In fact, there was no one association voluntarily taking initiative to reflect our views to the government.  Ironically, for years, many furniture producers were not fully aware of the funding support provided by the government. 

 

In December 2002, Ong Kian Sek called upon some outstanding furniture producers from KL and Selangor for a meeting to look into the problems and discuss about the future development of the furniture industry in Malaysia.  During the meeting, all the attendees came to a consensus that there was a need to establish an association for the furniture industry, so to fight for the benefits for all furniture producers.  As such, the association is called The Kuala Lumpur & Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association (KLSFEA).

 

The objectives are as follows:  

  1. To unite all the furniture related businesses in KL and Selangor area, and establish a constructive association for KL and Selangor furniture businesses with the purpose of enhancing mutual benefits for all producers.

  2. To enhance the relationships of all KL and Selangor's furniture producers and to establish good reputation for the Malaysia's furniture industry.

  3. To nurture and develop good relationship between the associations and the government departments.

  4. To promote Malaysia's furniture business in the competitive international environment, and hence stimulate the country's economy.

  5. To represent the furniture producers of KL and Selangor to liaise with the government to explore more opportunities and potential development for Malaysia's furniture industry, including importing and exporting.

  6. To organize and conduct exhibitions, conference, seminars, and foreign trade visit to upgrade the standard and quality of the furniture industry.
