DEFERMENT OF DSA 2020 & NATSEC ASIA 2020

The DSA 2020 & NATSEC Asia 2020 organisers, DSA Exhibition And Conference Sdn Bhd, in cooperation with the Malaysian Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Home Affairs, have taken the decision to announce the deferment of Defence Services Asia (DSA) 2020 and NATSEC Asia 2020 to 28 – 31 March 2022.

The decision was made following exhaustive consideration with various stakeholders including the Malaysian Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Home Affairs and Malaysian Armed Forces, who are the co-organisers. Initially slated for April 2020 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), the mega events were postponed to August following the Covid-19 outbreak. As the crisis escalated, it was deemed in the best interest of all parties involved, to defer the event to early 2022.

“Truly, this was a heavy decision to make. However the health and wellbeing of everyone concerned remains our utmost and uncompromised priority. As such, the current situation of the pandemic no longer makes it conducive to hold these events in 2020. While many alternative dates were studied, we realized it is in the best interest of all parties involved that the event be deferred to early 2022.”

Tan Sri Asmat Kamaludin,
Chairman of DSA Exhibition & Conference Sdn Bhd

We are consistently monitoring the COVID-19 situation in Malaysia and globally. Amid the global panic, Malaysian Government through its Ministry of Health (MOH) and other related agencies has done well. As a matter of facts medical experts worldwide has praised MOH for staying on top of the disease threats since it first detected. There are effective control measures being put by these agencies right from the point of entries into the country.
