“The period in review saw MyCEB providing support towards 18 business events compared to pre-pandemic times, whereby we had a total of 14 conventions and exhibitions in August 2019. This is a strong testament that our industry players are resilient, and the support received from various government agencies are reaping results. We view these positive results as very promising for Malaysia and we hope to continue these efforts to progressively realise our mission,” Dato’ Sri Abdul Khani Daud, Chief Executive Officer of MyCEB added.
