Bayan Lepas, Penang, May 9 — The Malaysia Gold Association (MGA), in collaboration with the Province Wellesley Gold & Silver Ornament Merchants Association (PWGS), successfully co-organized the Malaysia Gold and Jewellery Trade Exhibition 2025 (MGJE 2025) today at the Setia SPICE Convention Centre. The prestigious event was officially launched by Yang Berhormat Tuan Chow Kon Yeow, Chief Minister of Penang, alongside MGJE Organizing Chairman Mr. Law Chin Hooi and MGA President Dato’ Wira Louis Ng.
As an important and prominent industry platform, MGJE 2025 reinforces MGA’s commitment to promoting excellence in Malaysia’s gold and jewellery sector, while driving global engagement, business expansion, and insights into evolving market trends.
Showcasing Malaysian Gold Craftsmanship
A central highlight of MGJE 2025 was the premiere of MGA’s official documentary on Malaysia’s gold jewellery fabrication sector. The film honors the country’s heritage of producing 916 (22K) and 999 (24K) gold pieces, celebrated globally for blending traditional artistry with modern techniques.
“This documentary pays tribute to the generations of master craftsmen who built the foundation of our thriving gold industry,” said Dato’ Wira Louis Ng, President of MGA. “It reflects our rich cultural legacy and positions Malaysia as a global hub of excellence in gold jewellery manufacturing.”

In a major milestone for the association, MGA also welcomed Emirates Gold DMCC—a leading gold refiner based in Dubai—as its newest Foreign Associate Member. As a distinguished brand in the global gold industry, Emirates Gold will also serve as Title Sponsor of MGC 2026.
