Greetings for  2015.  This first edition of the newsletter for 2015 coincides with the end of the first quarter of 2015.  Time flies indeed.

In this edition, we are pleased to feature the economic and business opportunities in 2 countries, namely, Nepal and Kazakhstan.  We thank the Embassies of Nepal and Kazakhstan for their cooperation to extend to MASSA the latest information about the economic and business potential of their respective countries.  Members can avail themselves of the promoted projects that are investment ready.

Our Trade Commissioner has also given us a message and an insight  into  the business climate in Mumbai.  A thriving city of  about 21 million people, Mumbai  certainly offers much potential to make known and popularise our Malaysian brands of goods and services.

Members would have received MASSA’s offer to list their business offerings in the “Business Listing” page on this website.  Meanwhile, non-MASSA members and organisations from South-South countries are also welcomed to list their business/service offerings on our website.  With this Business Listing, visitors and prospective buyers and sellers may have the opportunity to get acquainted with one another through this website.  The listing will be categorised either by business category or by nationality, i.e. Malaysian or foreign entity.  We urge members and readers to come on board with us to build a South-South portal of talent / technology and business offerings that will be  beneficial to all.  Please take note that the introductory offer rates to list will be available till 31st May 2015.  Please check this out and contact us for your listing requirements.

 
We take this opportunity to thank those members who have placed their corporate advertisements on the MASSA’s website.  We envisage the Business Listing exercise to gather pace, and this will surely augur well for the flow of business within the South-South countries.
