MRCA since its inception in 1992 has grown tremendously contributing to the advancement of the retail-chain industry in Malaysia with members expanding overseas promoting Malaysia brands.

The journey started by our predecessors will be a hard act follow but with the continuous support and co-operation of all the members, I am confident MRCA will continue to grow and progress in providing the platform to create highly supportive environment to build our business and pool our ideas, experiences and efforts together by placing our members above everything else and continuously discovering opportunities for them to grow beyond the shores of Malaysia.

Although the next ten years would be economically challenging in our country, we are optimistic under the firm leadership under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Malaysia is well prepared for the future. MRCA welcome the New Economic Model (NEM) that aims to transform the country into high-income nation.

As the leading retail chain association, MRCA will support and play its role towards a fully developed nation with the 1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now Concept, the Government Transform Programme (GTP) and the New Economic Model. We are willing to shoulder the responsibility together with the government towards national unity and development.

MRCA is ready and will take the initiative in complementing the government effort in the promotion of the retail-chains, service and tourism industry. MRCA will work together with our overseas counterpart to further strengthen bilateral relationships in business and friendship.

As at today, MRCA have 200 quality members, and we will put in extra effort to educate and equip our members on the importance of building a successful brand. I strongly believe that strong brand influences the buying decision and shapes the ownership experience, which in turn will achieve the transformation o Malaysia into a high-income nation.

GROWING OPPORTUNITIES TOGTEHER!

Your sincerely,
Dato' Tay Sim Kim
President, Malaysia Retailer-Chains Association
