Dear Esteemed MFC Members,

The recent pandemic has brought much disruption to the entire globe. One of its long-lasting effects is the alteration of our way of life. This automatically transcends into the business sector where remote working and purchasing patterns of consumers have changed and will remain in the long run.

 

Furniture products, while not being seen as an essential item are still required as part of the contemporary lifestyle. This means that the days where conducting businesses via the conventional way will too be facing an evolution. Therefore, it is up to industry players to adapt and cooperate closely in changing their business operandi and production module to cater to a group of young and green-savvy consumers.

 

The furniture industry remains determined to achieve our vision as one of the top furniture exporters in the world, but it requires government support by reducing red tape and offering more incentives and benefits.

 

I am confident that the council will continue playing a crucial role as the bridge between the government and industry players by sharing related information and voicing out their concerns vice-versa to the authorities.

诚致全体 MFC 会员：

前阵子的疫情对全球带来了很大的冲击，更改变了我们旧有的生活方式，当然也影响了商业营运模式。人们开始接受远程工作与改变消费模式，而这种改变将会是永久性的存在。

 

家具产品虽然不被视为必需品，但仍是现代生活方式不可或缺的一部分。这意味着通过传统方式开展业务的时代也将面临重大改革。因此，业者需要适应与接受，改变其传统的家具业经营和生产模式，以迎合年轻化且提倡环保的消费者群体。

 

家具行业仍保持初心及坚持我们的愿景，欲成为世界顶尖的家具出口国之一；但这需要政府的支持，通过减少繁文缛节并提供更多激励和福利来改变整个营运环境。

 

我相信马来西亚家具总会和理事们将继续扮演关键角色，作为政府与业者之间的桥梁，通过资讯共享、上传下达成为有关当局和业者间的连接，达成双赢共识！
