Malaysia: Malaysian brewers join forces to set up confederation

Malaysia's two beer and stout breweries have joined forces to set up the Confederation of Malaysian Brewers Bhd, an industry group that will become the voice of breweries in the challenges faced by the industry, Bernama news agency posted on July 5.

Besides undertaking joint collaborative initiatives, the Confederation will also promote and look into the needs of the Malaysian brewery industry.

Tan Sri Ajit Singh has been appointed as its Executive Director while the Governing Council members would comprise representatives from the breweries, Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd and Guinness Anchor Bhd, the founding members of the confederation.

Ajit joined the Malaysian Foreign Service in 1963, serving in various positions in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and at Malaysian Missions abroad including Canberra, Addis Ababa and New York, the confederation said in a statement.

Ajit had also been Malaysia's Ambassador in Vietnam, Austria, Brazil and Germany. Among the challenges the brewery industry expects to face are political, social and environmental related matters and these challenges are expected to escalate over time with recent developments such as security ink, higher excise duty, legislation and flat growth, it added. ...more info

Liquor sales fell in the first five months of the year in South Korea, mainly due to a continued slowdown in the economy, industrial sources said Wednesday. In the five-month period, some 447 million liters of soju were sold in South Korea, down 4.2 per cent from the same period last year.

The decline in sales of soju, a popular South Korean distilled liquor, is significant because soju sales traditionally rise during periods of economic downturn. ...more info
