MUAR, Aug 31 — The federal government has agreed to hold a roundtable with the Johor government in October in Kuala Lumpur to discuss issues and challenges facing the local furniture industry, especially in Muar, said Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
“I myself will chair the meeting to discuss issues and challenges faced by the industry today. The furniture sector is a big industry and in terms of total trade, it almost hit RM19 billion in 2022. Also present at the meeting were Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, Bakri MP Tan Hong Pin and Pakatan Harapan candidate in the Simpang Jeram state by-election, Nazri Abdul Rahman.
“Industry players hope the state and federal governments can discuss with the party involved, that is Jcorp. I believe an idea has been mooted for this Muar Furniture City to help the furniture industry, and we will discuss this matter further when we meet,” he added.
