One of Malaysia's richest men says M'sia can handle competition

IN a digital age, with commodities and wealth moving at the click of a mouse, it is brutal reality that if we cannot keep up, we will be left behind. But Malaysia’s economy can handle brutal competition. How? With the right policies and not least, with urgency!

First and foremost, we need to send the right signals to entrepreneurs and investors by being a business friendly economy. Entrepreneurs and investors thrive in economies that observe the rule of law, that help them do business with ease and speed, and that value innovation and intellectual capital. Hong Kong, Singapore, Britain and Australia are the epitomes of this business-friendly economy.
