PSI Incontrol’s Chairman Officiates AMCHAM YE Sales Fair Program
“Nobody talks about entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking. Running that first shop taught me business is not financial science; it's about trading: buying and selling."
- Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop
Entrepreneurship has grown rapidly around the world and it is not only being initiated by the adults, but the present younger generation is also showing similar interest into it. Recognizing the existence of this concern, independent bodies have taken initiatives to help and assist these young generations to explore within the world of entrepreneurship and taking them to a higher level.

The American Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) through its Corporate Social Responsibilities initiatives has introduced the Young Enterprise (YE) Program from 1989. The program serves the objective to allow students of national schools as young as 16 years old to become entrepreneurs. Through this program, the students are given the chance to create and manage their own business, by exposing them to workshops, seminars and real marketing experiences. |
On July 16, 2011, the YE Program had organized a Sales Fair located at The Empire Shopping Gallery, in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. The Sales Fair which is as part of the students training enables the students to market their products to the public, in a safe commercial environment. From this, they don’t just get the chance to show their skills in promoting and selling their goods, but also to brush up their expertise in business acumen, teamwork and other related areas.
The event was jointly officiated by the Guest of Honor, Harvinder Singh, Chairman of PSI Incontrol Sdn Bhd and winner of Ernst & Young Technology Entrepreneur of the Year (2008).
A total of more than 500 students from 15 different national schools in Klang Valley participated in the Sales Fair which markets mostly handmade craft pieces made out of recyclable materials. The Sales Fair organized is anticipated to becoming the standing platform for the students to enter the entrepreneurship domain, and also assisting the students to unveil and develop their interests in becoming a successful entrepreneur of the future.
We wish all of the students to be successful, both in their studies and their keen interest in being a successful entrepreneur~.
