About Us
Before Kedah Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KICCI) was founded, there was a chamber of commerce known as Kedah Indian Chamber of Commerce. However, the membership was quite limited. It did not include the Indian business community from many of the towns and districts in Kedah. There was also not much interaction between the said chamber of commerce and most
of the Indian business community in state.
It was therefore felt by many members of the Indian business community in the state that there was a need for chamber of commerce which will be more representative and inclusive. They also wanted the new chamber of commerce to have greater involvement with the State Government and local authorities. With these aspirations, KICCI was affiliated to the Malaysian Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
In the early stage of formation, KICCI regularly participated in several notable events. One was the annual dinner hosted by the Malay, Chinese and Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in conjunction with the state ruler’s birthday celebrations which the ruler attended.
KICCI registered office was moved from Alor Setar to Sungai Petani in 2000. It is only proper to leave it to those responsible for the chamber’s development thereafter to speak of its further achievements. Suffice to say here that KICCI has continued to make progress towards fulfilling the dreams of those who wanted a chamber of commerce and industry which is truly representative of the Indian business community in Kedah.
