I Am Seeing Positive Changes In Malaysia

I’m seeing positive changes in Malaysia under the new leadership. The Government is making a strong effort to boost foreign direct investments.

My view is that Malaysia has the fundamentals, resources and strategic location within South East Asia (SEA), but there needs to be a fair playing field in order to attract more foreigners who are previously gun-shy due to changes in the policies, for example the previous pegging of the ringgit to the US currency.
