Introduction
Association of Malaysian Hauliers or "AMH" was registered in July 2002 and approved by the Registrar of Societies in September 2002. The idea to form an association came about with the participation of new companies in the container haulage industry as a result of the liberization of the container haulage industry by the LPKP, Malaysia. The container haulage industry was previously monopolised by 5 container haulage companies which formed "CHAM" or Container Haulier Association of Malaysia. As CHAM membership was not officially extended to these new container hauliers, these companies felt that there was a need to form an association to have a unifying voice in representing their members to safeguard their common interest and also act as the bridge between the them and the government agencies/authorities like PKUN, LPKP, JPJ, etc. AMH will not only be the information sharing center providing beneficial assistance and consultancy to members in matters relating to the authorities but also a symbol of unity among container haulier companies. The association membership has grown from 10 to 30 companies and more are expected to join AMH. AMH feels that the container haulage industry plays an important role in the growth of the nation's economy and the liberalization will spur competetiveness and prepare the industry to face globalization and competition after AFTA. AMH would like to thank all parties that had provided assistance in the formation of AMH, especially the advice and support from KPUN, LPKP, Registrar of Societies. AMH was officially launched on 1st July 2003 by Y.B. Dato Seri Mohamed Nazri B. Tan Seri Abdul Aziz, Menteri Pembangunan Usahawan. |
