III. Why Malaysia?
KEY Drivers to invest in Malaysia :
• Access to raw materials
• Lower investment costs (especially for land)
• Centrally located in the region
• Good export infrastructure
• Good incentive package & support offered by MIDA which
resulted in pioneer status (10 years) + R&D grant.
• SSIC support when constructing plant to get
permits/certificates & utilities  Fast track approvals

III. Why Malaysia? – Challenges
Economic
•

Energy

Employment

Infrastructure •
Image
•
Slow-down in the China’s economy is putting pressure on
inter-Asian trade which could impact Malaysia’s exports.
Loss of GST Status
Energy cost (natural gas and electricity) is increasing and
moving towards the Asian level.
Energy cost in the US, due to larger availability of natural gas
at low prices (around 4USD/mmBTU) is turning Asia
uncompetitive for energy dependent activities.
Increments of salaries outpaces the rest of the world with a
small base to find good talents and competition for talents can
further erode bottom line (talent turn over & retention)
Congestion, typical to growing economy, actions are being
undertaken.
The image of some of Malaysias largest natural resources is
under pressure by the European public opinion (forestry and
palm oil).

III. Some Tips
•
South-East Asian mentality is fairly close to the Flemish:
Pragmatic, a can-do mentality & a fair amount of business is done
(after the working hours) through personal network
•
Do not rely on local consultants :
Opt for using your own Flemish/Belgian/European presence (that you can
rely upon)
•
For export oriented activities, be aware of fast increasing CPI
which could turn business uncompetitive.
Make your business plan realistic considering real prices and costs and
not the ones consultants tend to provide.
Do not consider South-East Asia as a low-cost region (with the exception
of some labor intensive activities where a few countries are still attractive
e.g. Cambodia, Myanmar, Indonesia, …), but not Singapore, Malaysia or
even Thailand.
•
For regional markets activities, consider your logistics and supply
chain very well
The region is huge with sometimes fairly poor infrastructure.
