F O C U S 07For Port Klang Authority (PKA), 2009 was a year fraught with issues, namely, the globaleconomic crisis and the intense media exposé surrounding the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ)controversy. Admittedly, it was a bitter experience that had led to much soul-searching andself-examination.Now, amid encouraging signs of better conditions ahead, PKA rises again with an unshakableresolve to strengthen itself as part of a plan to further enshrine Port Klang’s premier positionin the country and the region.According to PKA General Manager, Kee Lian Yong, the PKFZ issue has had a severe impacton PKA, both financially as well as in terms of its public image. He says: “Now that theGovernment has established the Special Task Force Committee to handle PKFZ issues, we inthe Authority can finally start focusing our efforts on renewing and strengthening our twinroles, as port regulator and trade facilitator, for the betterment of the industry.”Evidently, PKA has its work all cut out. Kee explains: “We need to better understand, recogniseand regulate port users from the industry. At the same time, we are also exploring variousmeasures to improve the ease of doing business in Port Klang.However, Kee adds that PKA’s biggest challenge is to increase port competitiveness. Heremarks: “We have to capitalise on Port Klang’s strategic location along the Straits of Melakawhich is one of the busiest sea trade lanes in the world. We have to remain ahead of emergingports, like Colombo as well as the ports in Indonesia and Vietnam. We cannot be complacentor we will lose out.”With the view to achieving its goals, PKA has identified 5 Key Result Areas (KRAs) for the year2010. Kee explains: “We are working hard to put PKA and Port Klang on a higher plane in theeyes of the world. We have a monumental task ahead. There are a lot of expectations from thepublic and industry players for PKA to deliver. In order to meet these challenges, we at PortKlang will need the support of everyone. Together we should seize this moment to create abetter future for all the stakeholders of Port Klang.”KEE LIAN YONGGeneral ManagerPort Klang AuthorityStrategic ManagementWorkshopThe management team of Port Klang Authority attended a strategic management workshop from April 2-4, 2010 that was dedicated to promotingthe understanding and adoption of KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and KRAs (Key Result Areas).

However, wefind ourselves having to compete with otherregional players on the strength of ourpolicies, business and investment incentives,quality of our infrastructure, labour supply,efficiency of services, cost-efficiencies, easeof doing business and so on.Logistics Committee Chairman in Federation ofMalaysian Manufacturers (FMM) on our latentopportunities.Malaysia as a Tradeand InvestmentDestinationGoing by general consensus, we tend to farerespectably on most of the factors, especiallywhen they are considered individually.However, it is clear that we stand to gain muchmore by addressing prevailing weaknesses ina holistic manner.Gateway speaks with N Parameswaran, SeniorDirector of Services for Malaysian IndustrialDevelopment Authority (MIDA) and MohdRadwan Alami, Council Member 2009/2010 &Parameswaran points out that Malaysia iscurrently ranked 19th as a trading nationand aims to be among the world’s top 10trading nations by 2020. In fact, Malaysia hasbeen one of the most successful SoutheastAsian countries in attracting Foreign DirectInvestment (FDI).He says: “However, Malaysia faces intensecompetition from other emerging economiesin the region, like Vietnam and India. OurGATEWAYA PUBLICATION OF PORT KLANG AUTHORITY

P E R S P E C T I V E S 1 5competitiveness is being challenged and thesehave to be immediately addressed or we willcontinue to lose out.”According to Parameswaran, there are severalniche areas in the New Economic Model thatcan help us get ahead, such as improvingthe trade-facilitation system, increase labourproductivity and also an enhanced publicsector delivery system. Additionally, otherkey services factor such as freight logistics,can be leveraged upon together with our goodtransport infrastructure.advanced delivery systems, knowledge andfinancing. Our logistics players, however,are disparate, fragmented and, in somecases, poorly regulated. It is vital that weunify them into an efficient and streamlinedlogistic chain that will be able to bring aboutnew levels of speed, efficiency and costefficiency.The service providers need to beupgraded, consolidated and supported withcontinuous training and education. Betterlogistics is crucial to business viability as faras the business and investment communityare concerned.”MOHD RADWAN ALAMICouncil Member 2009/10 & Chairman,Logistics CommitteeFederation of Malaysian ManufacturersThe Logistics IndustryParameswaran says that there is an urgent needto develop our logistic industry.

sector and with all parties concerned as well. However, currently theMalaysia Logistics Council (MLC) is providing leadership in the overallconsolidation and development of the logistics industry.”Accordingly, MLC views the problems, not as compartmentalisedissues, but as systemic weaknesses that require logistical integrationwith the global supply chain. He remarks: “Logistics impacts all theindustries that depend upon it.”Mohd Radwan continues: “Over 90% of Malaysia’s imports and exportsare seaborne. This underscores the importance of ensuring world-classstandards in our ports and maritime industry. However, also havinga strong and harmonised logistics industry would significantly valueaddour port capabilities and thus enhance Malaysia’s internationalcompetitiveness.”Malaysian PortsMohd Radwan highlights that, over the past 10 years, more than 70% ofexports and imports have been directly loaded on mother vessels. “We canbe proud of such an achievement as not many countries can claim the same.”Parameswaran also enthuses that Malaysian ports are among the mostcompetitive in Asia, based on our relatively low costs of haulage, warehousing,forwarding fees, port charges, wages and so on. He adds: “Port Klang as wellas our other ports are well managed. This has resulted in the fact that manyshipping lines are now using Malaysia as a hub.”As Parameswaran puts it: “Our ports must respond to market developmentsand trends to create a business-friendly environment where traders will beassured of good and timely service.” He also points to the need to look atthe state of peripheral factors, such as road and traffic conditions, railroadconnectivity and adequacy of port facilities.MOT and Port StandardsMOT has come out with positive suggestions and initiatives under thegovernment’s Key Result Area (KRA) approach. Parameswaran thinks thatthese are important to keep any business ahead of its competitors.However, he cautions: “In reality, the initiatives can only succeed if the KPIsinvolve all stakeholders. We would all benefit from greater dialogue to acquaintourselves with the needs and problems of all parties. With open collaboration,we will be able to resolve the issues.Mohd Radwan echoes the point: “The ports cannot think solo. There is a needto link with different agencies and to follow a universal parameter to achieveresults.”He adds that MOT can be more proactive in helping to develop the portsby having continued sessions and dialogues involving all sectors includinglogistics, shippers and the port management itself. He stresses: “This will notonly greatly benefit the port, but will help boost the economy of Malaysia aswell.”However, both gentlemen stress the importance of benchmarking ourselvesagainst other leading ports in terms of efficiency.
