KUALA LUMPUR: Concerted efforts to promote Malaysian-made goods need to be increased to change the perception of some people who see local products as not carrying the image of luxury and quality.

Putra Business School economic analyst Assoc Prof Dr Ahmed Razman Abdul Latiff said various parties including government ministries and agencies, industry, chambers of commerce and entrepreneurs should play a role in creating effective campaigns to promote Malaysian goods locally and internationally.
