echo "To: tharmendran@carsem.com.my"
echo "Subject: Testinglah"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="-q1w2e3r4t5"'
echo
echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
cat testtharmen2.html 
echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
echo 'Content-Type: application; name="'$(basename /export/home/oracle/testCPUID3.txt)'"'
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: uuencode" 
echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'$(basename /export/home/oracle/testCPUID3.txt)'"'
uuencode testCPUID3.txt $(basename testCPUID3.txt)
echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
)| /usr/sbin/sendmail tharmendran@carsem.com.my

I would suggest base64 instead of uuencode. Also specify the right Content-Type for attachment.
Code:
export MAILPART=$(uuidgen)
export MAILPART_BODY=$(uuidgen)

{
        echo "From: from@domain.com"
        echo "To: to@domain.com"
        echo "Subject: Testinglah"
        echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
        echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$MAILPART\""
        echo "--$MAILPART"
        echo "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$MAILPART_BODY\""
        echo ""
        echo "--$MAILPART_BODY"
        echo "Content-Type: text/html"
        echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
        cat testtharmen2.html
        echo "--$MAILPART_BODY--"
        echo ""
        echo "--$MAILPART"
        echo "Content-Type: text/plain; name=testCPUID3.txt"
        echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
        echo "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=testCPUID3.txt"
        echo ""
        base64 /export/home/oracle/testCPUID3.txt
        echo "--$MAILPART--"
} | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

uuidgen

base64
