The Kuala Lumpur Malay Chamber of Commerce (KLMCC) was officially launched on 30th April 1975. The title KLMCC is the English version of the Malay title Dewan Perniagaan Melayu Malaysia Kuala Lumpur (DPMM Kuala Lumpur). It is registered as a branch of the main body known as Dewan Perniagaan Melayu Malaysia (DPMM) which was formed in April 1957.

DPMM was originally known as Gabungan Dewan-Dewan Pernigaan Melayu Se-Malaya (GDPMM). Since its formation the KLMCC has taken upon itself a duty to promote the development of Malay in business, under the motto "Mengiringi Melayu ke Mercu Kejayaan" which literally means to assist Malays to the zenith of success.
