THE WOKINGHAM-based founder of a food import company is looking to the future thanks to its new partnership.

OMalaysia has teamed up with the Selangor Youth Community to help young Malaysian entrepreneurs break into the UK market. The memorandum of understanding was signed in the presence of the Crown Prince of Selangor.

The company’s chief operating officer, Simon Suresh, along with director and general manager at Halal Street, the Malaysian sister company of OMalaysia, Hairul Hafizi Bin Abdul Hamid, attended the ceremony at the High Commission of Malaysia Office in London.

Now, young entrepreneurs can market their products in the UK via the Halal Street UK e-commerce platform, which has more than 900 vendors on board.

“I am thrilled to announce that we have signed another MOU to bring more trade from Malaysia to the UK, while also supporting young Malaysian entrepreneurs and start-ups to grow their businesses,” said Simon.

“As someone who has always had an entrepreneurial outlook, working my way from the ground-up, running businesses and creating innovative products and solutions, I want to offer my support to help steer these young people towards a successful business future.

“Signing the MOU with the Selangor Youth Community (SAY) is yet another significant step to ensuring that OMalaysia is an integral part of this movement and I’d like to thank them for working together.”

Speaking after the event to the New Straits Times, Nurul Azwa Rodzi from SAY, said that Halal Street is the ‘best platform’ for their new entrepreneurs to sell their products on.

“I am delighted that SAY have chosen Halal Street and acknowledge the work we have done to support and develop all vendors on our e-commerce site,” Mr Suresh added.

“It was also an extreme honour to have the MOU witnessed by the Crown Prince of Selangor.

“I look forward to continued connections to help grow the region and increase Malaysian trade in the UK.”
