Malaysia: The Next Big Thing for Global Business?
Have you ever thought about where big companies set up their offices to run their operations across different countries? Well, it looks like Malaysia might be the next hot spot, especially for businesses from developing countries (what some people call the "Global South"). Here's the scoop: Malaysia's Deputy Minister for Investment, Trade and Industry, Liew Chin Tong, (during National Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (NCCIM) Annual General Meeting, yesterday) thinks his country has what it takes to become a major business hub. But what does that mean exactly? Imagine Malaysia, particularly the area around its capital Kuala Lumpur, becoming a place where lots of international companies set up their main offices to manage their work across the region. Pretty cool, right? So, why Malaysia? Liew says it's because: Malaysian business people have tons of experience working with companies from all over - America, Europe, Japan, Korea, you name it!
