The Federation Of Malaysian Consumers Associations or in short FOMCA, is a voluntary, non-profit, non-political and civic organisation. FOMCA links the activities of consumers' assocoations in Malaysia and works closely with government and non-governmental organisations in consumers information, education and protection activities both at national and international levels. Its main concern is not only value for money but more so value for people. FOMCA aspires to promote through the purchasing power of consumers, a "need-oriented" development that will ensure socio-economic and environmental justice for better quality of life for all. FOMCA was inaugurated on the 10th June 1973 in Alor Setar, Kedah.
