Abstract: Electronics and Electrical (E&E) industry is one of the main focused sectors that was aimed to be economically contribute toward the development of Malaysia. With a significant contribution up to 50% of Malaysian’s manufacturing export’s share that covers almost 35% of the total country’s exports. Thus, this study is to propose sustainability conceptual model for the E&E industry in Malaysia specifically as continuity of previous studies in the area of Malaysian E&E industry’s scope as the model never be academically established before. Main objective is to ensure the sustainability and stability of E&E industry locally before it may possibly competes in global market. The sustainability is being indicated according to the seven (7) proposed indicators from the study of business’s sustainability: Top management Leadership & Support, Service Design & Support Function, Performance, Economic Operation, Supply Chain Management, Energy, Transport & Information, and Social Political Stability. The indicators are measuring the nine (9) suggested Critical Success Factors (CSF) that have been identified from literatures of previous studies which are proposed to be the driven elements toward E&E industrial sustainability. In investigating the validity of the proposed CSF, a set of questionnaire have been developed and distributed to 132 E&E companies around Penang. The region is purposely selected due to high potential and significant influence toward E&E industrial trend in Malaysia. Out of the population, the respond rate was obtained up to 37.38% which is relatively high as compared to the previous study. The results were further analyzed accordingly to differentiate between the current practices and the relevant contributor (CSF) within the scope of E&E industries toward sustainability. At the end, a new sustainability conceptual framework for E&E industries in Malaysia have been proposed and designed. Somehow, it is suggested that further research may be considered within broaden area (state), scope of study and demography of respondent as well as tested accordingly to outcome with more accurate trend.
