Bringing Together Gifting Opportunities
Official Launching of the 12 th Malaysia Gifts Fair
KUALA LUMPUR – 25 APRIL 2022: Malaysian Gifts & Premium Association is back with the 12th edition of Malaysia Gifts Fair with its official launching and balloting day held on 12th April 2022.

Organised by Malaysian Gifts & Premium Association (MGPA) and endorsed by Malaysia
External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), this 3-day exhibition is ASEAN’s largest
gifts, premium and stationary fair, bringing together various industry players from all over the
world for exchange of ideas, sharing of knowledge and networking opportunities.

The 12 th Malaysia Gifts Fair is strongly supported by Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau
(MyCEB), an agency under the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture. MyCEB serves as a central
hub to assist meeting and event planners to bid and stage international business events in
Malaysia and act as a conduit for national product development.
“We are excited for MGF 2022 to be part of 3R initiative (Reset, Restart and Responsible), a
recovery programme as announced by MyCEB. This puts our industry in an advantageous
position to accelerate recovery and inspire growth” said Mr Ivan Loo, Organising Chairman of
MGF 2022.

The launch ceremony was officiated by Yang Berhormat Datuk Seri Dr. Santhara J.P, Deputy
Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia. Also present was Mr Peh Leong Seng (President
of Malaysian Gifts and Premium Association), Mr Ivan Loo (Organising Chairman of 12th Malaysia
Gifts Fair 2022), exhibitors and guests.

Malaysia Gifts Fair (MGF) serves a platform of both local and global gifts and premium industry
players, comprising over 200 booths. This year, international exhibitors will be present in hybrid
mode via MGF Online, with participation from reputable companies from Hong Kong, Taiwan,
Thailand, Korea, and Indonesia.
“Meeting with the stakeholders gives us the chance to connect, empower and inspire each other
to create future synergetic value, encourage knowledge sharing and strengthen personal and
professional connections.” said Mr Peh Leong Seng, President of Malaysian Gifts and Premium
Association.

In the past, MGF has managed to attract more than 14,000 visitors in a 3-day fair, which proved
that MGF is one of the most sought-after trade fairs in this region. To keep up with the ever-
changing business landscape, the association has recently launched MGF Online, an online
platform for all members and industry players to promote their products, thus increasing their
visibility and reach.

Another one of MGF’s most interesting projects has been the Promotional Product Design Award
(PPD). It aims to provide talented individuals to have their design recognised, rewarded, and
even commercialised in collaboration with established local entrepreneurs. “The vision of the
PPD Award is to provide a fair, ethical and competitive platform for professional and student
designers from diverse backgrounds and experience to compete on, while giving them a platform
of nationwide audience to showcase their success and talents.” said Mr Peh Leong Seng.
With the full reopening of borders, MGPA hopes for a strong rebound in the industry as the
border reopening will open doors for industry revival to bolster recovery. The fair will be held from
22 till 24 June 2022 at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. All business visitors are welcomed to
join.
