FOCUS 07As a trading nation, Malaysia is ranked 10th mostcompetitive in the world, and Port Klang is a primarycontributor to that success. According to Kee LianYong, Port Klang Authority (PKA) General Manager,PKA is proud to be associated with making Malaysia apremier business location. “Of course, it is our closepartnership with government, with business, and withthe logistics industry, that has enabled us to achievethis. We are committed to improving our relationshipsand meeting all our stakeholders’ needs in order toaccelerate this forward progress, making Port Klangthe natural choice for Malaysian and internationalbusinesses alike,” he elaborates.PKA has been steadily playing a greater role as a tradefacilitator and port regulator, moving away from directport operations and focusing on setting strategic goalsfor the port. Kee explains, “PKA is the key organisationthat oversees all the players in the port community toensure that we are on the right track. We at PKA makethis happen through the implementation of strategicpolicies and practices.”KEE LIAN YONGGeneral ManagerPort Klang Authority1.
