One-stop centres for auto and industrial products
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Industry observers call for the establishment of one-stop centres to market automobile and industrial products under one roof similar to agricultural market or the 'pasar borong'.

They said such one-stop industrial products would make it easier for the consumers to make a comparison of the products offered before making their choice.

Such centres, they said, can house as many distributors and retailers of various brands of automobiles and industry products.

They also said such one-stop centres proved to be popular in other countries such as in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.

"For example, in Singapore if you want to find electrical products in one roof, just mention Sim Lim Towers and everyone would know," they said.

They considered it was one way that the private sector could promote and attract more industry investors into the country.

"However, various incentives must be provided to members of the private sector wishing to invest and set up one-stop centres here," they said.
