CENTRAL Forwarding Agency Sdn Bhd (CFA) marked its 70th anniversary with a gala dinner at Wyndham Acmar Klang on Sept 20, bringing together approximately 650 employees, management, business partners and industry representatives to commemorate seven decades of the company’s journey.

A key highlight of the celebration was CFA’s contribution of RM108,000 to Yayasan St John Ambulance Malaysia – Kawasan Pantai Selangor (SJAM-KPS Foundation), towards the purchase of two dialysis machines to support patients requiring ongoing dialysis treatment.

CFA executive director Jessica Lim said the anniversary was an opportunity to reflect on the relationships and shared experiences that had shaped the company over the decades.

“70 years is not just a number; it represents the trust, friendship, shared challenges and achievements accumulated over decades, as well as our commitment to growing together,” she said.

CFA was founded in 1956 by the late Lim Hooi Kuang and the late Goh Thiam Hee. In her speech, Lim acknowledged the contribution of the founding families and successive generations, as well as the employees who had played a part in the company’s development.

As part of the celebrations, CFA’s directors also personally contributed RM50,000 towards cash prizes for an employee lucky draw, with 35 employees receiving prizes.

The initiative gave employees an opportunity to share in the anniversary celebrations and recognise their contribution to the company’s journey over the years.

Lim also expressed appreciation to customers, business partners, suppliers, industry associations and other stakeholders for their continued support.

“Logistics is never a business where one can succeed by fighting alone. We are grateful to all our stakeholders, business partners, relevant authorities, industry friends, suppliers and service providers for their ongoing support and walking alongside us,” she said.

Among those attending were Federation of Malaysian Freight Forwarders president Datuk Tony Chia Han Teun and Selangor Freight Forwarders and Logistics Association president Chua Seng Wah.

The company said it would continue to build on its long-standing relationships with employees, customers and business partners as it moves into its next chapter.
