Attached is the full transcript of PBEC Michael Walsh opening remarks on Malaysia’s increasing importance to global supply chains within APAC with the development of its advanced industrial base. Partly due to the current Governments business friendly policies, reforms and tax incentives as well as a strong focus on investing in critical infrastructure which appeals to DFI investors. There are opportunities for particular States within Malaysia, one is Johor being well placed geographically next to Singapore and the other Penang for its IT manufacturing and Sarawak East Malaysia for its natural resources, with a labour workforce with English/Chinese language proficiency to serve China and of course the rest of Asia and the Pacific.
