made easy.

Why Malaysia?

Malaysia, strategically located in the heart of Southeast Asia, is a land rich in culture, nature, heritage and modernity. As one of Asia’s most vibrant economies, Malaysia offers a dynamic business environment with advanced technologies and well-developed infrastructure – a combination that makes for a compelling business case for companies and investors alike.

Malaysia is an open and newly industrialised market economy. Malaysians generally lead a more affluent lifestyle than peers in other upper middle-income countries (like Mexico, Turkey and Brazil) and this is due to a low national income tax, low cost of local food, transport fuel, readily available household essentials, access to fully subsidised single payer public-healthcare and comprehensive social welfare benefits.

Malaysia serves as the gateway to the ASEAN region, particularly for China, and it has been rolling out business-friendly initiatives and policies to encourage foreign direct investment. More than 1,500 Malaysian companies are operating in other ASEAN countries and its solid manufacturing base, cultural diversity and multilingual talent help to connect it with key markets across the region, cementing its status as a connected gateway and support its gateway endeavours.

Reasons to do business in Malaysia include:

  • Member of ASEAN
  • Attractive tax incentives
  • Advanced infrastructure
  • Competitiveness ranking
