Perutusan Hari Raya Aidil Adha YB Menteri
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Dalam konteks dunia pada hari ini, konsep pengorbanan itu sendiri
mencakupi makna yang lebih luas dan mendalam. Ia menuntut
sebuah tanggungjawab, terutamanya dari segi mengorbankan
masa dan tenaga dalam menyumbang ke arah pembangunan
bangsa, agama dan negara. Konsep itu wajar diteladani oleh kita
semua umat Islam dan para penjawat awam terutamanya ketika
ekonomi negara sedang berada dalam situasi yang mencabar
ketika ini.
Kedudukan ekonomi Malaysia menjadi lebih mencabar dengan
keadaan ekonomi dunia yang tidak menentu semenjak tahun
lepas. Namun demikian, Malaysia masih mampu mencapai
KDNK pada kadar 4.9% pada suku kedua tahun 2015. Walau
bagaimanapun, dengan langkah-langkah yang diumumkan oleh
YAB Perdana Menteri pada 14 September 2015, kita harap
Malaysia akan mampu bertahan.
Akhir kata, izinkan saya untuk mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya
Aidil Adha buat saudara saudari sekalian. Saya ingin menyeru
kepada semua rakyat Malaysia agar menghayati pengertian
pengorbanan dengan meningkatkan lagi semangat perpaduan
dalam kalangan semua penduduk dari berbagai bangsa dan
latar belakang. Saya juga berharap agar warga MITI akan terus
berkhidmat dengan penuh dedikasi serta sanggup melakukan
pengorbanan dengan penuh redha demi kemakmuran dan
kesejahteraan negara yang kita cintai ini.
Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed
Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri

“DRIVING Transformation, POWERING Growth”
Alhamdulillah, setinggi-tinggi kesyukuran saya panjatkan ke
hadrat Allah S.W.T kerana dengan limpah dan izinNya kita masih
diberikan peluang untuk meneruskan kehidupan dan dapat
meraikan Hari Raya Aidil Adha atau Hari Raya Haji yang akan
disambut pada 10 Dzulhijjah 1436H bersamaan 24 September
2015. Kisah pengorbanan Nabi Ibrahim A.S dan ketaatan
anakanda beliau baginda Nabi Ismail A.S akan sentiasa menjadi
hayatan dan panduan tatkala kita meneruskan lafaz tahmid dan
takbir sebagai tanda pengabdian diri kepada Allah S.W.T

Economic freedom is the fundamental right of every human to control his or her own labor and property. In an
economically free society, individuals are free to work, produce, consume, and invest in any way they please, with
that freedom both protected by the state and unconstrained by the state. In economically free societies, governments
allow labor, capital and goods to move freely, and refrain from coercion or constraint of liberty beyond the extent
necessary to protect and maintain liberty itself.

THURSDAY, 17 SEPTEMBER 2015, KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is stepping up efforts to ramp up
exports by implementing several initiatives under a strategic road map that, among others, involves
deep collaboration between the public and private sectors.
This was one of the decisions reached at the 3rd National Export Council (NEC) meeting convened
today. The meeting discussed several measures on boosting exports, taking into consideration the
global economic situation. It noted that based on the first 7 months of 2015, Malaysia’s exports,
similar to the experience of other countries in the region, were under pressure due to the lack of
global demand and slower uptake by its traditional trading partners.
The meeting outlined five key strategies to overcome the challenge:
1) Creating higher value exports,
2) Strengthening export capabilities
3) Market deepening in high-potential markets
4) Growing the number of exporters and
5) Promoting "Brand Malaysia”
The meeting also discussed action plans and measures to improve the export eco-system and
enhance the contribution of Mid-Tier companies and SMEs to exports.
The Mid-Tier Companies Development Programme launched in January 2014 is a 9-month export
acceleration programme with the objective to develop and nurture selected Mid-Tier Companies to
become more resilient and competitive internationally. A total of 44 MTCs participated in Wave 1,
and another 57 MTCs are currently participating in Wave 2.
Efforts will also be taken to boost contribution of SMEs to 23% of total exports by 2020 by strengthening
existing initiatives and activities. Programmes to merge SMEs into Mid-Tier companies will be
intensified to support them in their export ventures. MITI’s agencies, notably MATRADE, MIDA
& SME Corp, are already collaborating with MNCs based in Malaysia and overseas to undertake
sourcing from Malaysia and help link SMEs suppliers to these large corporations.
On the international front, the promotion of Malaysian products and capabilities will be strengthened
to create greater impact and enhance Malaysia’s effort in positioning the country in the global
marketplace.
With the softening of commodity prices, the meeting noted that it was crucial that the resourcebased sectors such as the palm oil industry move towards producing higher value-added products,
particularly in the oleo-chemicals, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. The Government has
provided incentives to assist companies to undertake more downstream activities.
The service sector especially tourism is expected to further contribute to exports and measures to
facilitate this are currently being developed. Presently, this sector contributes more than RM130
billion annually to exports.
The ongoing efforts to improve the export eco-system in a concerted and coordinated manner will
remain the primary agenda of the Council.
