The Association of Bumiputra Logistics Services Providers (PPLB)... PPLB members were mostly from the SME category and they needed a lot of support especially from the government-linked corporations (GLCs) in creating new opportunities by considering the range of services offered by them...

Samsuddin added that the Government had set a target that the service industry should contribute to about 30% of the country's gross domestic product in 2013. “From the 30%, the logistics industry should take up between 10% and 12%.”

PPLB currently has about 100 member companies.
