<strong>Singapore</strong> Trade and Investment Mission<br />
to Jakarta, Indonesia<br />
(17 - 19 January <strong>2005</strong>)<br />
To reinforce the close relation between<br />
SMa and the <strong>Federation</strong> of Malaysian<br />
Manufacturers (FMM), both federations<br />
co-organised a joint Trade and Investment<br />
Mission to Jakarta. The mission was<br />
supported by International Enterprise<br />
<strong>Singapore</strong> (IE <strong>Singapore</strong>), the Embassy of<br />
Indonesia in <strong>Singapore</strong>, the Malaysian<br />
Industrial Development Authority (MIDA)<br />
and the Jakarta Chamber of Commerce<br />
and Industry (KADIN).<br />
The 89-men delegation was led by Mr Lew<br />
Syn Pau and Datuk Mustafa Mansur,<br />
Presidents of SMa and FMM respectively.<br />
The delegation met up with the new<br />
leaders of Indonesia and gained valuable<br />
insight on the new policies affecting<br />
businesses operating in Indonesia. A total<br />
of 425 business matching meetings and<br />
several networking functions were<br />
arranged to explore opportunities in<br />
procurement, outsourcing, subcontracting,<br />
trade, investment and other areas with the<br />
Indonesian business community.<br />
Apart from deepening the existing tie<br />
between SMa and FMM, this mission also<br />
paved the way for vital future<br />
developments with the respective<br />
Indonesian government offi ces, private<br />
sector and associations and set the stage<br />
for future business expansion in Indonesia<br />
by our members.<br />
