The 2010/2012 committee continued to work on the Association’s list of priorities, which was used to guide the Sub-Committee Chairman in developing their work priorities and activities. As we move forward, this list of priorities which will always be on-going shall form the basis of most of CTFAs’ activities. It is also my wish to see the in-coming Committee and future Committee members use this as the basis of their activities.
2011 was quite hectic and challenging year, not only for CTFA but for the industry as well, in terms of business and operational issues. The Board members were as usual very active in working with various government agencies on matters relating to our industry. On operational issues, the topic was always on the Quest 3 system and the Task Force team worked very closely with BPFK in trying to solve issues on hand. However, due to certain factors nothing much could be done to improve the situation and the industry has to “live” with the situation for the time being. In view of this, the Board decided to dissolve the Quest 3 Task Force and may be revived when the need arises.
I am happy to announce that the ROS has approved the amendments and changes to the Constitution, which I believe is more aligned to current practice. One is the key amendment will be the increase in the subscription fee to RM1250 which took effect on January 1, 2012.
On the reworked and updated CTFA Handbook, this is still work in progress as there are still few updates still to be made namely the latest member’s list and details. Once this is done, the new handbook will be made available on the CTFA website. I would like to apologize to members for the delay in getting this out.
The Board also deliberated on the possibility of creating a Face Book account for our association, allowing another avenue for our members (and non-members) to express their view and maybe provide opinions and suggestions. This will also create awareness and will make us more visible. On this, I appreciate if members can provide their input on whether we should proceed.
2011 saw our membership stand at 82 members, with 3 members resigning, and 5 new members. 2011 also saw the 2 resignations from the Board, Pan Har Ying – Johnson & Johnson and Jane Ng – DCM. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank both of them for their hard work and dedication to the association. Both leaving the industry is a loss to the association.
Finally I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to all the Board and Task Force Members for their continuous hard work in supporting the associations’ activities and the member needs. The
Board and I would like to thank all members for having the trust in us to move the Association forward.

In line with CTFA’s priorities, the Technical Regulatory Committee (TRC) continued to focus on the protection of its members’ interests specifically, and the Cosmetics industry’s as a whole. Every effort was made to ensure that CTFA members are kept updated on relevant regulatory developments.
To achieve this, the TRC efforts have been primarily channeled onto two key strategic platforms:
1) the Technical Working Group (TWG) with the National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau (NPCB)
2) the meetings of the ASEAN Cosmetic Committee (ACC) and ASEAN Cosmetic Scientific Body
(ACSB).
Through TRC’s participation in the TWG and ACSB/ACC meetings, we were able to put forth CTFA’s position in relation to the various technical issues raised, including regulation of menthol and camphor, allergen labeling on packaging and the review of the ACD annexes. The TRC team continued to play an important role in supporting the NPCB in their preparation for the ACSB/ACC meetings.
The appointment of three TRC members as members of the MOH-established CoSEC (Cosmetic Safety
Expert Committee) further affirmed that the TRC is on the right track in terms of strengthening CTFA’s credibility in the Cosmetic industry.
In addition to involvement in the above forums, the TRC also supported the activities of other CTFA sub-committees. Together with the Government & External Relations committee, tab was kept on developments concerning regulation on Prepackaged Products, Medical Device, as well as Halal-related matters. Alongside the Business Operations committee, the TRC participated in discussions with the
NPCB on issues pertaining Quest 3 and Notification No. labeling, among others.
It has indeed been an honour to be part of such a dynamic team. I thus would like to express my sincere gratitude to fellow Board and TRC members, as well as to Janice, for their passion and relentless energy in supporting TRC efforts. On behalf of the TRC, I wish to also thank all the members who have provided their feedback on TRC-related matters.

Membership
All the Board Members of the CTFA are essentially members of the Government & External Relations
Sub-committee (GEC) as they participated in most of the GEC external relations activities. Thus, the
Committee would like to extend the utmost appreciation to the support rendered by the Board
Members.
Key Activities for 2011 – 2012
The scope of the GEC activities for this period is concentrated mostly on matters related to Halal, for example, participating in meetings with various authorities and stakeholders to discuss on industry concerns and presenting the Association’s proposals on relevant topics on halal. For these activities, the Committee has been and will continue to be working closely with JAKIM, HDC and MDTCC. i.
Activities with JAKIM
The GEC participated in meetings and discussions with JAKIM on the followings: a.
Amendment of the Trade Description Act to include the provisions for halal marking and Trade
Description Order relating to Halal
The other main authority involved in this discussion is the Ministry of Domestic Trade & Consumer
Affairs (MDTCC). Due to the involvement of the CTFA in these discussions, there were no discussions made by either JAKIM or the MDTCC in these meetings that are detrimental to the cosmetic industry. b.
Halal Assurance Management System Guidelines
The CTFA, through the GEC proactively requested for JAKIM to provide the opportunity for the
Association to comment on the draft Guidelines before it is being finalized to ensure that the guidelines are developed with the input of the cosmetic industry. As of early March 2012, the
Guidelines are about to the finalized by JAKIM. c.
Meeting with the new DG of JAKIM
The CTFA GEC had arranged for the Board Members to meet with the new DG of JAKIM soon after he takes office in April 2011. The meeting gave the opportunity for the Association to introduce ourselves to the new head of JAKIM and share our experiences in participating in influencing rule makings discussions with the authorities / government.

ii.
Activities with the HDC
The CTFA, together with FMM-MCTIG, BPFK and JAKIM are invited by the HDC to provide input on the followings: a.
Contents of Training Manual for Halal Trainers for Cosmetic Industry
Constructive feedbacks were given to the HDC in ensuring that the slides for the trainers of halal are relevant to the industry requirements. b.
Guidance Manual for Cosmetic Industry
The objective of this Manual is to provide a comprehensive guide to the cosmetic industry on the regulatory requirements for cosmetics in Malaysia besides providing guidance on meeting the relevant halal standards and requirements. The guidance manual is at the final stage of completion.
