Dear Members of the Malaysia Interior Industry Partners association (MIIP),

It is with deep gratitude and a profound sense of responsibility that I stand before you today, marking the beginning of my second term as President of the Malaysian Interior Industry Partners Association (MIIP).

Let me begin by extending my heartfelt thanks — to all of you: our devoted members, valued partners, and especially my committee team — for your unwavering support throughout the past term. Together, we’ve not only navigated challenges but also celebrated achievements that have reignited the spirit and purpose of MIIP.

Reflecting on Our First Term

When I first took office, MIIP stood at a crossroad — a time of rebuilding and redefining our path forward. Yet, through your trust, support, and collaboration, we achieved meaningful progress:

• Membership growth: From 88 to over 128 member companies — a testament to the growing relevance of our voice and vision.

• National recognition: For the first time, a Ministerial guest, YB Nga Kor Ming, graced our 14th Anniversary Gala — a milestone that affirmed our growing stature.

• Professional development: We organised impactful seminars and engagements with CIDB, DOSH, and other authorities, fostering knowledge and compliance across the industry.

• International outreach: Our visits to China opened the door to global collaboration and learning.

• Stronger unity through shared values: Beyond industry initiatives, we strengthened bonds through sports, social events, and CSR efforts — including our meaningful MOU with Epic Home to serve marginalized communities through sustainable design and purposeful giving.

A New Chapter Begins

As we begin this new chapter, I invite all of you to walk with me once again — with bolder ambitions and even greater resolve.

Our mission remains steadfast:

To be the united voice, the trusted authority, and the forward-thinking platform for Malaysia’s interior industry.

In this new term, we will focus on five key pillars:

1. Professional recognition: Elevate MIIP as a recognised professional body by working closely with CIDB and relevant government agencies to establish industry certifications and raise standards.

2. Sustainability in action: Champion ESG values through real-world initiatives — from CSR projects to green design education — leading by example in responsible industry practices.

3. Global exposure: Broaden our horizons with international collaborations, guest experts, and regional roadshows that inspire innovation and cross-border opportunities.

4. SME and youth empowerment: Support the next generation through mentorships, digital branding tools, and leadership development to future-proof our ecosystem.

5. Stronger internal unity: Reinforce our sense of family within MIIP — because this association belongs to all of us. It is our collective platform, our shared legacy.

A Call to Action

Our industry is more than just design and construction. It is an ecosystem of creativity, precision, and purpose.

Let MIIP be the bridge that connects builders, designers, suppliers, and innovators toward a shared goal:

To uplift the industry, one member at a time.

I truly believe that together, we can go further.

Together, we can shape an interior industry that is professional, progressive, and proudly Malaysian.

I am humbled to accept this second term and pledge to continue serving with integrity, inclusiveness, and vision.

Thank you for your trust.
