THIS year’s Malaysia Fest 2023 that will be held from 25th to 30th July at Singapore Expo Convention and Exhibition Centre Hall 5 and will feature more than 270 exhibitors featuring products and services that cover food, fashion, beauty and travel. For the first time, the Fest which is popular here for promoting Malaysian agro-food products and Made-in-Malaysia goods will also feature a business matching component during the first two days of the event.

At the media conference announcing the Fest highlights at the Malaysian High Commission yesterday, Malaysian High Commissioner Dato’ Dr Azfar Mohamad Mustafar introduced Mr Aminuddin Zulkipli, the Chairman of FAMA (Malaysia’s Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority) and Mr Hamzah Abdullah, the Managing Director of MegaXpress International Pte Ltd. They gave a preview of what businesses and consumers can expect at the event.

This year the number of exhibitors who have signed up has increased by more than 50 for a total of 278 to date. The Malaysian High Commissioner noted that one of the contributing factors for this is the addition of the business matching opportunities introduced this year.

The exhibition will feature a wide range of products and include many Malaysian state pavilions as well as SMEs which are keen to enter and promote their wares in Singapore and the global markets. Apart from FAMA among the strategic partners for the event include Tourism Malaysia as well as Supporting Partners the Malaysian Department of Industrial Development and Research (DDR) Sabah, Terengganu Entrepreneur Development Foundation, the states of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Johor Bahru and the Northern Corridor Economic Region (Perlis, Penang, Kedah and Perak).

The organisers hope this year’s event will attract more than 120,000 people and Mr Aminuddin (pictured above) said that the organisers are targeting to achieve the potential export value of RM25 million and RM10 million in direct sales at Malaysia Fest 2023.
