47 森美兰轮胎商公会(NSTDRA)于2023年11月19日在NSK芙
蓉包山包海酒家隆重举办47周年纪念联欢晚，席开72 桌。
主席邱铧升透露，目前森美州80%的轮胎商都是森美兰轮胎商公 会的会员，为公会注入强心针，壮大会员组织。这将有利于该会 在与有关单位讨论问题时，取得更高的效益。
他强调，在这个过程中，该会深刻理解到“再创巅峰”的使命。 巅峰不是终点，而是新的起点。作为轮胎商，他们将不断追求卓 越、持续创新，为客户提供更安全、更舒适及更高性能的轮胎产 品及服务，为客户创造更大的价值，为社会做出更多贡献。
废轮胎的处理是全球性的问题，目前废轮胎可循环利用的空间极 小，只能回收一部分制造轮胎所耗费的材料。由此可见，他说， 废轮胎所带来的问题，严重影响了我国在环保减碳上付出的努 力。他呼吁政府严正看待这个问题，让政府及业者能够以共商共 赢的方案，解决问题。
代表交通部长陆兆福出席该联欢会的亚沙国会议员谢琪清强调， 不管是政府相关部门、私人界或环保学术专家都有共同的责任去 处理废轮胎，让废轮胎在不造成环境污染下，得到良好的处置。
“早前废轮胎的处理方式，都是注入砂石后进行填海。虽然这个 方式容易处理，但是随着近年来人们环保意识的提升，继续使用 这种方式处理废轮胎，将会对海洋大自然造成严重的破坏。”
他认为，除了交通部外，科学、工艺及革新部也有责任，以现有 的技术把废轮胎变成有用的东西，例如，把废轮胎重新提炼成工 业油或塑料，再进行广泛使用。否则只是将废轮胎丢入垃圾场会 污染环境，造成环境问题。
此外，谢琪清也代表陆兆福宣布，拨出5千令吉作为该公会的活 动基金。
筹委会主席苏秀荣感谢合作伙伴及赞助商的信任和支持，让该会 不断壮大。他也感谢筹委会的努力，使到宴会如此成功。
当晚的节目包括切蛋糕仪式、敬酒、文娱活动以及捐款给马来西 亚轮胎商总会(MATRDS)。
