Electronic commerce has become an important medium through which trade and commercial activities are conducted today. It is therefore pertinent that manufacturers, importers, exporters, distributors, wholesalers and retailers accept the advent of Information Technology in commerce as challenge.

Malaysian businessmen have always demonstrated their readiness to adapt to changes in their endeavour to succeed in the respective fields. The Automobile & Automotive Industry's presence in the Internet has certainly opened up unprecedented opportunities and new scope in doing business. It is my hope that the industry will make good use of these new opportunities in enhancing their business activities.

I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate Asia Electronic Publication Sdn Bhd. a msc - status company, for having successfully established Malaysia's largest Automobile & Automotive industry website in the Internet.
