MESSAGE BY FGJAM PRESIDENT, CHIAH HOCK YEW PKT

马来西亚金钻珠宝商公会联合总会迈入45载，今得以发扬光大，全靠历届前辈们的无私奉献精神。

本人有幸于今年4月29日，获推选为总会总会长，承载着先贤们的目标使命，在深感荣幸之余，也觉得责任重大。我相信，本届新理事都与我一样怀抱着共同目标，能在异中求同，在接下来两年团结一致执行会务。

过去几年，我国各领域深受新冠肺炎疫情波及，不仅生意低迷，而且也承受着不同程度的压力。所幸的是，政府今年批准公积金会员提取1万令吉款项，对国内市场的现金流通产生了正面回响。

无论如何，我与团队将与相关政府部门积极沟通，以便能共同合作促使经济复苏，继而寻求更多有利于黄金业的发展方针。

在此，本人代表新届理事承诺，与各属会、会员及政府部门积极联系配合，希望能把总会推向另一高峰。

Federation Of Goldsmiths And Jewellers Association Of Malaysia has entered its 45th year, and today it has been able to carry itself forward, thanks to the selfless dedication of its predecessors.

I was fortunate enough to be elected as the President of the General Conference on April 24 this year, carrying the goals and mission of the sages. In addition to being deeply honoured, I also feel the great responsibility. I believe that the new committees of this session all share the same goal as me, seek common ground in differences, and unite in the implementation of conference affairs in the next two years.

In the past few years, various fields in our country have been deeply affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, not only the business is sluggish, but also under varying degrees of pressure. Fortunately, the government approved the withdrawal of RM10,000 by EPF members this year, which has had a positive response to the cash flow in the domestic market.

In any case, my team and I will actively communicate with relevant government departments so that we can work together to promote economic recovery, and then seek more development policies that are beneficial to the gold industry.

Here, on behalf of the new board of committee, I promise to actively contact and cooperate with all affiliated associations, members and government departments, hoping to push the association to another peak.
