About MAICCI

In 1950, the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Singapore, represented by its then President, Mr R. Jumabhoy, played a vital role in catalyzing the early beginnings of The Associated Indian Chambers of Commerce, Malaya. Under the distinctive leadership of Mr S.O.K Ubaidulla, The Associated Indian Chambers of Commerce, Malaya flourished with the membership of some of its early constituents, such as the ICC of Selangor, Ipoh, Seremban, Johor and Kelantan.
