Given all the current political drama in Malaysia, the timing for our webinar today “The ASEAN Series: Malaysia” was just right. Thanks to a collaboration with Chamber member Control Risks and partner Enterprise Singapore, audience members were able to gain better insights on an important ASEAN market for MNCs and Singapore businesses alike.

Guest speaker, Mr. Harrison Cheng, Associate Director and Lead Analyst for Malaysia, Control Risks explained the political situation, the key players and outlined the possible political scenarios for the rest of this year. He also talked about how the government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic is impacting the Malaysian economy and how businesses can deal with the operational risks and opportunities.

Harrison’s presentation was followed by that of our second guest speaker Mr. Khairul Anwar, Global Markets Director, Southeast Asia, Enterprise Singapore, who covered the macro-economic trends and the sector opportunities available in the country. Notwithstanding the political situation, Malaysia provides many continuities and opportunities for businesspeople.

Our thanks to Harrison and Khairul for their insights and for answering the audience’s questions. The Chamber looks forward to more collaborations with Control Risks and Enterprise Singapore.
