以下為Maycham會長Henry Hooi的致詞:
尊敬的楊拿督,各位來賓,各位馬來西亞同胞和朋友:
下午好,感謝您百忙之中抽出時間蒞臨今天的聚會,共同慶祝馬來西亞獨立54週年紀念。今天的活動具有特殊意義,因為它也代表著馬來西亞在台社群的重新出發,從馬僑協會(MAROC)到馬來西亞在台商業和工業協會(Maycham)。
簡單的說,馬來西亞商會在台北的成立是為了促進台灣和馬來西亞雙邊貿易和投資的交流。台灣和馬來西亞有相當大的相似之處,人口的規模大致相同,仰賴出口,人們憑著勤奮的精神白手起家,又都是亞太經濟合作(APEC)的組織成員。由於馬來西亞的地理位置在東南亞國家聯盟(ASEAN)的中心,在這個擁有5億人口的東南亞國家聯盟(ASEAN),馬來西亞自然就成為了重要的貿易轉運站。
本商會的另一個宗旨就是作為一個交流及溝通的平台,積極爭取馬來西亞和台灣政府的政策支持進而促進雙方貿易及協助就讀於台灣的6000多位馬來西亞留學生。馬來西亞和台灣之間,由於缺乏外交關係,因此Maycham,扮演著加強雙邊關係的重要角色。
為了使Maycham達成這些目標,我們需要你們的支持。我謹代表Maycham及其董事會,熱烈邀請你和你的同事和朋友參與成為企業或個人會員。我的同事,Elizabeth Lim會為您提供相關的訊息(但不限於Maycham)包括參與會員程序,以及團體會員能獲得的相關優惠和服務折扣等。
這場午餐聚會,缺少了我們企業贊助商的大力協助是不可能達成的。我要感謝我們的贊助商,皇室娘惹慷慨地提供了場地和精緻的娘惹美食讓我們細細品味,Rainboii提供的禮品袋,裡頭有馬來西亞產品包括Spritzer瓶裝水和東革阿里咖啡,JVV提供的SPA禮券,還有其他贊助商慷慨奉獻自己的寶貴時間和精力使得這場午餐更顯意義非凡。
我也想藉今天的機會介紹馬來西亞商會主要幹部以及籌備小组:劉康捷副會長,
賈森田資訊長,伊麗莎白林秘書長,Lock Swee Peng前馬僑協會會長,以及
JVV的蕭如伶,有大家的分工合作才能促成這次活動的圓滿成功!
我就說到這,接下來,我們現在歡迎馬來西亞駐台代表拿督楊講幾句話。

Honorable Datuk Yong, distinguished guests, fellow Malaysians and friends,
Good afternoon and I would like to welcome you to this afternoon’s lunch to celebrate the 54th anniversary of Malaysia’s Independence. Today’s event has a special significant as it also marks the renaming of the previous entity, MAROC to Malaysian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Taiwan (Maycham).
In short, the Malaysian Chamber of Commerce in Taipei is set up to promote bilateral trade and investments flows between Taiwan and Malaysia. There are considerable similarities between the two countries, populations of broadly the same size, export dependency, a population that is entrepreneurial and hardworking, and both are members of the APEC community. Given Malaysia's geographical location in the centre of ASEAN, it is well positioned to act as a gateway to ASEAN, a market of more than 500mn people.
As a secondary objective, the Chamber serves as a platform facilitating businesses to lobby for support from the Malaysian and Taiwanese governments and to provide support to the 6,000+ Malaysian students studying in Taiwan. Given the absence of diplomatic links between the two countries, Maycham has an important role to play to plug the gap and to help in developing stronger bilateral ties between the two countries.
In order to enable Maycham to fulfill its promise, we will need your support. On behalf of Maycham and its board of directors, I would like to extend a warm invitation to all of you and your associates and friends to sign up as a corporate or individual member. My colleague, Elizabeth Lim is on hand to provide you with information on Maycham and the joining procedures as well as some of the benefits of membership including discounts on a variety of services provided by our corporate members and others.
The afternoon would not be possible without the support from our Corporate sponsors. I would like to acknowledge the contributions of our anchor sponsor, Nyonya Imperial who has generously put up this venue and the fine Nyonya cuisine for us to savour this afternoon, Rainboii for providing the corporate gift bags containing Malaysian produced products including Spritzer bottled water and Tongkat Ali coffee, gift coupons for a spa services from JVV, and a host of other sponsors who have generously donated their time and effort to making this lunch an eventful afternoon.
Briefly, I would like to introduce to a few key Members of the Exco namely, Vice President, James Lau who is also the President for Logfret, the Governing supervisor, Mr. KS Pua, the President of Phison, Elizabeth Lim, Secretary General of Maycham and Mr. Lock Swee Peng, the immediate past President of MAROC.
Without further ado, I would now like to welcome the President of MFTC, Datuk Yong Tech Shing to the podium to say a few words.
