MAJAICO JMEPA?

What MAJAICO? and What JMEPA?

MAJAICO was short form from Malaysia Japan Automotive Industry Cooperation and this initiative was under Japan Malaysia Economic PArtnership Agreement (JMEPA) that signed by both country Prime Minister on Jun 2006.
This initiative was another cooperation agreement in economic after Asean Free Trade Area (AFTA) kick off.As this agreement focus mostly to win-win situation formula in Agriculture & automotive sector but the perception of Malaysian to this kind initiative was warm. This agreement also want to spur Malaysian automotive industry to par with Japanese counterparts especially for parts vendors but the 10 proposed projects not fully utilize by vendors.
Project- project inside this initiative was human capital development, vendors technology development, trade mission, exhibition etc. All project implemented initially very slow acceptance but gradually when 1st batch of the participants complete the program and mouth spread the benefit of it, the program start getting intention from various people including media and politicians. But the 1st batch of program mostly sponsored by Japanese Government and take care by their respective agencies make the 1st batch program got full mark. In the reverse of the program that Malaysia organize, the completion of program full of dramas no budget, no person in charge etc.
Malaysian as Malaysia Boleh spirit, not make full use of the program to benefit it to their organization but always keeping request many things and keeping give a funny reason for not attended the committee meeting. When the simple thing also not committed, so how will Malaysian vendors survived in this border less economic ?

second chance

2002 was a third year I already work with Perodua and that mean 3 year I also struggle to commute everyday from Mantin to Rawang. Why I lived at Mantin even Rawang is RM200 rental house easily can get? Because my spouse work at TDK Nilai and I need to scarified.
So when I heard about Honda new factory will be build in Melaka, I straight apply the vacancies.
And in the middle of 2002, I go for interview and as expected, I got the job as Welding Engineer. I join the Honda team at 2nd of January 2003 to make sure I got the last Perodua bonus. Honda life was another beautiful work life. I start to develop new CRV in Malaysia with help from My. Kuwata from Sayama Plant , Japan and also from Oriental Assembler staff. Actually not really new as this CRV design by Honda Motor at Thailand and Malaysia as a one asean hub will get all new model from Asia-oceania mother company in Ayuthaya, Thailand.
Before Honda Motor tie up with DRB-Hicom, Honda already established with Oriental Group and assembled at Oriental Assembler Sdn Bhd at Johor Bahru. After change the majority share in new company DRB-ORIENTAL-HONDA Sdn Bhd and Oriental group just get small portion of share about 15%. From that time they start to find new partner and also made my CRV introduction Development Process terrible .
The Md of OASB not allowed their staff to entertain our request to help about anything and that make me and Mr. Kuwata need to proceed all process from unpacking, jig setting, parts matching, welding and accuracy check just two of us. But in opposite effect, I gain a lot of experience of making car that before this I never learn at Perodua.
After success the mass production in OASB, I went to training at Honda Motor Philippine for about 1 and 1/2 month to learn the real Honda car making process. From there also , I learn about car repairing technique , dent & bump need to repair by massaging the body. I also went to Thailand for several time for about 1 month 2 or 3 time per year for another honda car model transfer.
After success all honda Civic, City and accord production transfer , my only mentor got promotion to more higher post at Tokyo, Japan. From that time my dark day begin!
Just came back from Thailand for bring back Accord model production technology , I got back fire. My friend x-proton accused me as a reason for production slow and line problem because of I bring 7 team leader with me to Thailand to help me on technology transfer. Another back fire was also created that I was the reason why some operators have attitude problem and also for quality problem.
Nearly 1 year and 1/2 I suffered for accusation and I been cold storage. But even in cold storage position, my Japanese boss also asked me to proceed with my own design robot system to implement in narrow space in production line. With the thrust worth acting, I went to many trainings to make sure I gain lot of knowledge before I resign. I spent all my weekend for my entrepreneurship training at SME Bank Kuala Lumpur and spent 2 days per month for do a marketing at Naza Automotive Manufacturing factory at Gurun, Kedah.
