KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia may see an increased amount of foreign investments, particularly from the United States, if the brewing trade war between the US and China escalates further, according to the American Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (Amcham) executive director Siobhan Das.

Businesses from the US and other countries could make Malaysia an alternative regional production hub for several goods instead of China to avoid the additional tariffs imposed by the US on products imported from China.
