An English lesson that we should learn from Jack Ma


OUR Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s recent visit to China was indeed a great success that would bring huge economic benefits to our country. As expressed by Dr Martin Jacques, a British journalist and author of When China Rules the World, “The Sino-China relationship is crucial for the future of Malaysia.”

Apart from sealing the RM55bil East Coast Rail Line project and more than 10 business-to-business deals worth RM143bil, Jack Ma of Alibaba was appointed Malaysia’s digital economy advsor. As China’s economy is expanding, establishing a close relationship with this progressive country is certainly a step in the right direction.
