Government Agencies;

on Land Transport, FG on Logistics and Supply Chain, FG on

Trade Facilitation.

deliberation at the MLC for discussion and policy decisions.

retirement of the then Secretary General of MITI;

• In 2013, a revamped MLSC (Malaysian Logistics and Supply Chain

Council) was established.

• Focus group on Transport and Infrastructure;

• Focus Group on Trade Facilitation;

• Focus Group on Industry, Best Practices & Development Initiatives;

• Focus Group on Institutional & Regulatory Framework.

• FMFF is a member of the first three Focus Group;

• Focus groups would meet and discuss issues as per the terms

of reference set up for each Focus Group;

MLSC for deliberation and policy decisions.

April and FMFF has been well represented in the 3 Focus
