CLICK TO ENLARGECLICK TO ENLARGE

A country with a modest population like Malaysia would not have a large tax base comparable to larger economies around the world.

Yet, Malaysia, being a blessed country, has natural resources, rich agricultural crops and strategically located in the heart of South-East Asia along busy maritime shipping routes. We are also nicely tucked away from the ring of fire, sheltered from devastating natural disasters. For the longest time, this has always been our country’s unique value proposition to investors around the world.
