Phase Five Of Kulim Hi-Tech Park Set To Open,
Says Mustapa
Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP) is set
to open its fifth phase following an
overwhelming response from investors
who are keen to establish operations
on the 1,700-hectare industrial zone.
International Trade and Industry
Minister Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed
said the industrial park was now in its
four phase of development.
“Its surroundings are also developing
rapidly with more than 600,000
houses built so far,” he told reporters
after launching Infineon Technologies
(Kulim) Sdn Bhd’s fibre farbrication
plant.Mustapa said both the state and
Federal Government and the Malaysian
Investment Development Authority
would continue to assist investors
coming to the KHTP, among others,
by providing them with incentives,
expertise and human resource to
ensure the park’s continued growth.
“KHTP is Kedah’s jewel in the crown and
the country’s pride, thus we must ensure
it will continue to draw investments and
grow further,” he added. Meanwhile, Infineon Technologies said the plant would provide jobs for
about 3,000 people.
“Currently, Infinineon Technologies has operations in Kulim and Melaka with accumulated
investments of RM12 billion. “We are among the largest employer in the country with almost
10,000 workers,” it said in a statement.

Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd
The history of Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd’s establishment can be traces way back before independence
at the time when the late Mr. Gulam Husen Jamal, owned a shop in Pulau Pinang. During the Japanese Occupation
in the second war, the shop was burnt down to the ground and Mr. Gulam lost everything. Nevertheless strong
determination, perseverance and faith spurred one of his children, Tuan Mydin Mohamed, to continue the
trades of wholesaling. In 1957, he opened his first shop, Syarikat Mydin Mohamed in Jalan Tok Hakim, Kota
Bharu, Kelantan selling toys and general merchandise acquired with his own hard-earned money. His hard
work was truly rewarded when business slowly prospered.
Two decades after its formation, the company expanded its business to Kuala Terengganu. Despite offering
a variety of merchandise at affordable prices, MYDIN remained popular only in the East Coast. The return
of Tuan Mydin’s son, Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali in 1989 marked the turning point of Syarikat Mydin Mohamed. He
led the opening of the third branch in Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur in a rented 600 sq ft shop lot with a
loan of RM100,000 worth of merchandise, consisting of leather goods and products catering to the daily needs
of the Muslim community.Initially, the company aimed to cater to the needs of only the Muslim community
but Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali had bigger plans for MYDIN, and thus he embarked on an innovative change for the
family business. In 1991, the business converted from sole proprietorship to private limited company, and later
in 2000 it was officially registered as Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd with Tuan Mydin as the Chairman and
all his sons as directors. Being the driving force behind MYDIN, Dato’ Hj. Ameer Ali was then appointed as
its Managing Director. Since then, MYDIN has grown steadily at the commendable pace.
With the growth of foreign investments in Malaysia, especially in the retail sector, MYDIN initiated “The
Empire Strike Back” strategy. Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali together with the other directors then decided to do the most
impossible thing, by opening its first hypermarket next to their competitor in Subang Jaya. After having been
rejected by most banks, only one bank was willing to provide financing to MYDIN to expand and this was
Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali’s former employer – AmBank. MYDIN was bold enough to compete with foreign retailers
because of its conviction that only a local Malaysian company can best supply its Malaysian customers and
suppliers, compared to foreign-owned ones. Local Malaysian companies, it believes, can succeed as long as it
makes the right plans and right decisions.
After the success of MYDIN Hypermarket in Subang Jaya, MYDIN took a bold step by opening
three more hypermarkets in Kuala Terengganu, Ayer Keroh, Melaka and Kubang Kerian, Kelantan. On 14
January 2011, a new hypermarket was opened in Bukit Jambul, Pulau Pinang. Apart from hypermarket and
emporiums, MYDIN has also ventured into other business entities such as mini markets, convenience stores
and franchises. Though it has expanded greatly, MYDIN does not neglect the small traders and wholesalers.
With the introduction of Meriah Card Loyalty Program, wholesalers who part of this program are able to make
bulk purchases at wholesale rates. MYDIN’s vision is to be the World’s leading distributor of competitive Halal
goods and services in Malaysia. To this date, MYDIN operates more than 70 outlets nationwide and is still
continuing to grow. As a Muslim wholesaler retailer, MYDIN stresses in honesty in business and practices the
Halal concept in all its businesses. With many expansion programs in the pipe-line, MYDIN aims at becoming
the leading local hypermarket with good business practices so as to be on par with other internationallyowned hypermarkets and thus, make Malaysia proud. “Only a home-grown company knows the needs and
wants of Malaysians. We are Born Malaysian, Still Malaysian!”
MYDIN as well as Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali, has won numerous accolades for their achievements including
Masterclass CEO of the Year 2009, Winner of Brand Laureate’s SME’s Brand Personality Award 2009, RetailChain Sector 2010 by Kuala Lumpur Chamber of Commerce and GOPIO International Renown Entrepreneur
Excellence Award 2010
