AMCHAM Membership
Why Membership Matters
AMCHAM is the voice of U.S. business in Malaysia. We provide relevant business information to members, represent members’ interests to Malaysian and U.S. stakeholders, and organize business and social networking events that help members build long-term relationships in Malaysia.
Membership is also about community: a dynamic network of companies that help each other, backed by a Chamber that champions member interests.

AMCHAM has demonstrated their leadership so well in fronting the Government on behalf of their members. They are extremely vocal and make it a point to ensure the message is heard. AMCHAM has also acted as a bridge in connecting the company with the American Embassy in Malaysia and this facilitation has certainly benefited the company in various aspects. The MY AMCHAM CARES platform was phenomenal in mobilizing the resources from member companies to be channelled to the right beneficiaries efficiently, ensuring front liners and vulnerable communities received timely support.

Aside from our IT and administrative personnel, it was necessary for our operations staff to work on-premises during the crisis. Palco is a reverse logistics service provider and deemed essential in our support of data and telecom infrastructure for global OEM’s. AMCHAM provided critical information through regular Covid Updates and real time guidance through its dedicated band of champion business advocates. AMCHAM has proven to be an excellent networking resource with introductions to companies sharing mutual interests. We are proud of our commitment to three year Bronze Corporate membership.
