Malaysia is a key innovation hub for us and the country aligns with our desire to contribute to society. With a strategic geographical location, stable government, strong macro-economic environment, skilled workforce and well-developed infrastructure, Malaysia is an ideal base for regional expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What future opportunities and challenges do you see?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With ever-changing geopolitics and global economic shifts, opportunities and challenges are often inseparable. Malaysia and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries are committed to strengthening ASEAN centrality and trade and Malaysia\u2019s ASEAN chairmanship 2025 theme of \u2018Inclusivity and Sustainability\u2019 aligns with our own regional strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health care, the digital economy, manufacturing, trading and green industries show great potential in Malaysia and government economic policies (digitalization, inclusivity and competitiveness) reinforce our positive view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We intend to stay ahead of the curve and capitalize on our global network. We have every confidence in Malaysia as we continue to work with our partners to create long-term value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
