Malaysia is a multiracial country with a mix
of three main ethnic groups-Bumiputera
(Malays and various other indigenous
people), Chinese and Indian. Bumiputera
comprise of more than 60% of the country’s
total population and therefore their
participation in exports is very important
for the country.

The Bumiputera Exporters Directory highlights Bumiputera exporters who are active in
the international market - especially in ASEAN, East Asia and the Middle East. They
come from a wide range of industry sectors and are especially strong in Prepared Foods
and Beverages, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Oil and Gas, Toiletries
and Cosmetics, Construction and Building Materials and Engineering Services.
The keys to the success of Bumiputera exporters can be attributed to their diligence and
commitment in continuously upgrading the quality and competitiveness of their
product and services o ering. The ultimate goal is to empower the Bumiputera Economic
Community su ciently, enhance their inclusiveness and build towards a balanced,
equitable Malaysian society by 2020.
Various initiatives and agencies support Bumiputera capacity building and
internationalisation e orts. Active among these government-linked agencies are
MATRADE, SME Corp. Malaysia, TERAJU, MARA and SME Bank. In tandem with the national
agenda to assist more Bumiputera in their export undertaking, it is my hope that this
directory will help expand their outreach to you and to other businesses around the world.
