At the Association of Malaysian Hauliers, we consistently make sure that the haulage industry is well protected. As a registered organization, we take great pride in doing what we do, which is to protect the interests of our members nationwide, whilst maintaining the integrity that has been our primary concern from day one. The idea to form an association came about with the participation of new companies in the container haulage industry as a result of the liberization of the container haulage industry by the LPKP, Malaysia. The container haulage industry was previously monopolised by 5 container haulage companies which formed "CHAM" or Container Haulier Association of Malaysia. As CHAM membership was not officially extended to these new container hauliers, these companies felt that there was a need to form an association to have a unifying voice in representing their members to safeguard their common interest and also act as the bridge between the them and the government agencies/authorities like PKUN, LPKP, JPJ, etc. AMH will not only be the information sharing center providing beneficial assistance and consultancy to members in matters relating to the authorities but also a symbol of unity among container haulier companies. The association membership has grown from 10 to 215 companies and more are expected to join AMH. AMH feels that the container haulage industry plays an important role in the growth of the nation's economy and the liberalization will spur competetiveness and prepare the industry to face globalization and competition after AFTA.
