AGENDA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

(of which due notice should be given (7) days before the Annual General Meeting) The meeting began at 10.00am The President, Encik Abdul Aziz Arshad thanked all members for their attendance. Members were asked to review the minutes of the last Annual General Meeting held on 21st March 2014. Since there was a quorum and no objections raised , the minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 21st March 2014 were proposed to be adopted by Ms Maggie Wang of Elken Sdn Bhd and seconded by Mr P C Ng of Colgate Palmolive (M) Sdn Bhd.

President’s Report 2014 Financial Report The President gave an overview of the financial status of the Association and reported of the deficit account in 2014. He also warned of further deficit for year 2015 as the cost of goods has increased tremendously not forgetting the 6% GST will kick-start on 1st April 2015. CTFA is not GST registered and therefore we cannot charge nor claim back GST from the government. In the 2014 financial report, generally the expenses were very prudent however, the deficit derives from the Gala Night expenses noting the fact that the organizing cost of the event has increased since last year but the member’s table price was maintained at RM1,700.00 per table for the benefit of the members. In the last board meeting on 10th Feb 2015, the board made a proposal for an increase in the subscription fees for year 2016. For the coming year the Association shall aim at break-even and not run into further deficit. Note: A copy of the audited accounts was emailed to all members 14days prior to this AGM meet.

APPENDIX 1

2015 PRESIDENT’S REPORT

The first year of the 2014/2016 period saw the various committee continuing to work on the Association’s identified list of priorities. These are:

1. To continue educating members on the full compliance of the ACD 2. To monitor and highlight issues relating to the Quest system 3. To actively participate in all activities related to the cosmetics industry such as ACC, ACSB, Halal, KPDNKK, BPFK 4. To provide value-added information to all members through seminars and workshops 5. To mediate between members and government bodies in matters relating to the industry

As we move forward, these priorities which shall always be on-going will form the basis of most of CTFAs’ activities. However, as the industry evolves, the Association may change the priorities to keep up with the changes. 2014 was another challenging year, not only for CTFA but for the industry as well, in terms of business and operational issues, such as the impact of the sliding Ringgit and the volatility of the fuel price. The industry too had to face the uncertainty of the impact of the implementation of GST. The Board members were as usual very active in working with various government agencies on matters relating to our industry. Apart from the Quest 3 issues, the Board members also were involved in the halal standards, medical device, consumer awareness to name a few. 2015 will be even more challenging for the industry in anticipation of the implementation of the GST on April 1. CTFA has worked with the various agencies in organizing seminars/talks on GST in trying to provide its members an understanding of it. As at the end of 2014 our membership stood at 82 members, with 3 members resigning, and the addition of 3 new members. Finally I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the Board their continuous hard work in supporting the associations’ activities and member needs. The Board and I would also like to thank all members for having the trust in us in moving the Association forward. Abdul Aziz Arshad President 2014/2016

Technical Regulatory Committee Annual Report 2014/15 In line with CTFA’s priorities, the Technical Regulatory Committee (TRC) continued to play an important role in protecting the interests of the CTFA members. In order to consistently exceed the expectations of our key stakeholders, continuous communication as one industry voice remains as key focus for the TRC and it is our commitment to ensure that timely communication to company members on the regulatory developments or decisions. TRC also continue to contribute as a strong industry representations by channeling our efforts through the following key strategic platforms such as The Technical Working Group (TWG) with the National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau (NPCB) and meetings of the ASEAN Cosmetic Committee (ACC) and ASEAN Cosmetic Scientific Body (ACSB). Through TRC’s participation in the ACSB/ACC meetings, we were able to put forth CTFA’s position in relation to the various technical issues raised, including the inclusion of 5 parabens derivatives (isopropylparaben, isobutylparaben, phenylparaben, benzylparaben, pentylparaben) into the Annex II of the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (entry Ref # 1374 -1378). Following this, in March 2015, CTFA - FMM MCTIG has submitted a joint industry appeal letter to the NPCB on the extension of grace period until 31 December 2015. Initially, the grace period granted is until 30 July 2015, for existing product in the market. During the TWG and association meetings, national issues affecting the industry continue to be addressed in particular on the implementation of ASEAN Sunscreen Labeling Guidelines, review of the ACD annexes, Appeal on Cosmetics Names etc. Besides its involvement in the above meetings, the TRC also supported the activities of other sub-committees of the CTFA, namely the Government & External Relations which includes activities such as participation in meetings with JAKIM on governance in pertinent to Halal Regulation, LPF TV Advertisement Approval and Final Draft of the Code of Advertisement for Medical Device. For 2015, the TRC will remain committed to its mission to protect the CTFA members’ interests and keeping the members updated on relevant regulatory developments. Lastly, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to fellow Board and TRC Members for their contribution and continuous support on the TRC activities through the years. On behalf of the TRC, we wish to also thank all the members who have provided their feedback on TRC-related matters. Here’s to another great year!

External Affairs Sub-Committee 2014-2015 Annual Report

Membership All the Board Members of the CTFA are members of the External Relations Sub-committee as they continue to participate in most of the External Affairs Sub-Committee activities. Key Activities for 2014 - 2015 For the past one year, the External Affairs Sub-Committee continues with the initiative to develop new relations with external government departments / authorities that are key to the Association besides strengthening the existing good working relationship with the relevant departments in the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism (MDTCC), the Department of Islamic Development of Malaysia (JAKIM), the Film Censorship Board (LPF) and the Department of Standards Malaysia. For this period, we have successfully established good connection with the Commercial Division of Ministry of Multimedia and Communication. This Division is responsible for reviewing advertisements aired in Radio & Television Malaysia (RTM). The Committee also continues its collaboration with other Sub-committees of the CTFA especially the Technical & Regulatory and the Training Sub-Committee in delivering the fundamentals of the External Relations Sub-Committee responsibilities. i. Initiatives with JAKIM The Committee led several discussions with JAKIM’s officers and is pleased to report that the Association has achieved some headway in the efforts to influence for simplification and improvement of efficiency relating to JAKIM halal certification procedures and processes. Example of the successes in this area: a. JAKIM’s agreement to consider granting conditional approvals for “no site audits” for products with same backbone formula produced by sites with valid JAKIM’s halal certification. This means that for products with formulation that are similar to products (same backbone) that are already halal certified by JAKIM and the certification for the site is still valid, JAKIM is willing to consider conducting only “paper audit” without the need for site audits provided certain conditions are met. The CTFA has proposed for the “industry friendly conditions” to JAKIM which was accepted by JAKIM. Members need to note that the final decision on whether or not to grant this exemption is dependent on the discretion of the Halal Evaluation Panel of JAKIM.

22

b. JAKIM’s concurrence to consider granting a longer validity period for cosmetics products halal certification for companies that meet the set criteria Again, this is subject to the discretion of JAKIM’s Halal Evaluation Panel and only companies that fulfill the conditions can apply for JAKIM’s consideration on this. The CTFA continues to recognize by the government as an association that represents the cosmetic industry in events and activities related to halal. The latest on this is the invitation from JAKIM for the Association to participate in the 6th Convention of Halal Certification Bodies on Mar 30th-31st, 2015, an event with participation of recognized halal certification bodies from around the world. In Dec 2014, the CTFA was also invited by the HDC and the Department of Standards to participate in a workshop led by these entities with the objective to strengthen the Malaysia Halal certification procedures, standards and processes. Various stakeholders from the relevant government departments, academia, trade associations and Consumer Groups attended the workshop. ii. Activities with the Commercial Division of the Ministry of Communication & Multimedia. In July 2014, the CTFA submitted a proposal for omission of some of prohibitions in the the RTM Guidelines which are outdated and do not represent the current situation in advertising practices. The Association has been regularly following up with the Division ever since and targeting to have a meeting with them in early Q2 2015 to discuss on the CTFA’’s proposal. Words of Appreciation The Sub-Committee would like to once again record the utmost appreciation to the Board Members of the CTFA for their contributions and participation in the External Affairs Sub-Committee activities in 2014-2015 and also to all members who had been contributing their input to the Committee in support of the GEC activities. Hamidah Minhaj Chairman
