ASEAN, the United States of America (USA), the European
Union (EU) and Turkey. Imports were sustained at RM161.22
billion compared with RM161.91 billion recorded in January
to March 2015. For the month of March 2016, trade surplus
surged by 52.2% to RM11.19 billion from RM7.35 billion in
February 2016, making it the 221st consecutive month of trade
surplus since November 1997. On a year-on-year basis,
trade surplus rose 43.1%. Exports increased marginally to
RM66.59 billion from RM66.47 billion recorded in March
2015. Imports decreased by 5.5% to RM55.39 billion, with

respectively.
Overall, exports both of manufactured and agricultural goods increased during Q1 2016. Exports of
mining goods, however, declined. Exports of manufactured goods during the first quarter grew by
6.4% or RM9.18 billion to RM151.93 billion, accounting for 82.1% of Malaysia’s exports. The higher
export was driven mainly by increased exports of manufactures of metal, electrical and electronic
(E&E) products, machinery, equipment and parts as well as optical and scientific equipment.
Exports of agricultural goods in Q1 2016 expanded by 6.5% to RM15.27 billion, attributed mainly
to higher exports of palm oil, which amounted to RM8.57 billion, an increase of 6.6% or RM532.9
million, contributed mainly by higher export volume. Exports of mining goods decreased by 32.5%
to RM16.88 billion with lower exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude petroleum. Lower
exports of LNG was caused by the contraction in the Average Unit Value (AUV) and volume, while
crude petroleum due to lower AUV.

• E&E products valued at RM66.54 billion which constituted 35.9% of total exports, increased
by 3.6% from the corresponding period of 2015;

The general outlook for luxury spending continues to be positive. Almost a third of respondents to The Wealth Report’s
Attitudes Survey expect their wealthy clients to spend more on luxury goods in 2015, compared with just 8% who
expect it to decline.
But how does the short-to-mediumterm outlook compare for individual countries, and where in the world might luxury
brands look to expand? The new Big Spenders Index, compiled exclusively for The Wealth Report, provides some of
the answers by identifying the locations likely to see strong growth in big-ticket spending by their own ultra-wealthy
populations and visiting Ultra High Net Worth Individual (UHNWIs).

MULTI-B SDN BHD
Multi-B Sdn Bhd design and manufactures a high technology
MF (Maintenance Free) bus duct with the brand name of
Translite MF Bus Duct. The bus duct utilises Japanese
technology and is produced by Multi-B through technical
collaboration with Hitachi Cable Ltd. Japan. Multi-B claims
that its low voltage power distribution system is best suited
for airports, factories, hotels, hospitals, institutions, prisons, stadiums, high rise commercial and
residential buildings and many more.
Established in 1989, the founder of the company started operation with merely RM300,000, in
additional to the sum of RM70,000 which was used to purchase second hand machinery. The first
two years was difficult for Multi-B. While financial support was already an issue, it also needed to
compete with other brands in the limited market. However, they stayed true to its philosophy to
excel in business. With hard work, perseverance and assistance from government agencies, Multi-B
was successful in overcoming the challenges.
1998 was a good year for Multi-B. From a humble company with second hand machines, the
company commenced operations in its brand new 2-acre factory-cum-office complex situated
in Bukit Beruntung, Selangor. This factory which is fully equipped with the latest technology and
computerisation, is capable of producing as much as 400 km of bus Dutch a year.
From then on, it has continued to expand and never looked back. From local markets, Multi-B
ventured into international markets in 2003. Within seven years, it managed to market its products
to 14 countries around the world, and has successfully completed numerous mega projects in Asia
Pacific (including Australia and New Zealand), India, Bangladesh, Middle East and recently in South
America. Overseas markets now contribute 90% of its annual sales revenue.
