MNCs eyeing expansion in Asia, particularly, can harness Malaysia’s robust infrastructure, efficient transportation networks, and logistics capabilities to optimise supply chains and unlock diverse markets, Mida chairman Tan Sri Dr Sulaiman Mahbob told Bernama.
Sulaiman highlighted the Industry Linkage Programme as one such initiative which encourages partnerships between larger and small and medium enterprises . “We have seen the shift towards some SMEs playing a bigger role in the global supply chain. These companies are differentiating themselves by providing value-added services, customised, high quality and lower cost products with faster speed to markets,” he said.
