Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Amiruddin Hamzah noted that the ministry had on June 22, 2018 listed 87 Bumiputera furniture companies on the panel of suppliers under the KPB for a three-year period from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021. As for the remaining 33 companies that failed to obtain the certification within the deadline, the ministry’s latest list that was updated today showed that only 13 of them obtained the certification, while 15 were still undergoing the testing process and five more did not submit applications to FRIM at all, he said.

“In relation to that, the Finance Ministry has decided to extend the period to obtain the FRIM PCS certification for another six months, that is until December 31, 2019,” he said, noting that this extension does not cover the five companies who did not even submit their products to obtain FRIM PCS certification.
