Malaysia
While our major focus is Thailand as a base and recommend anyone setting up a new business in Asia to come to Thailand, we do view Malaysia as having a very strong and robust SME supply chain that is within easy reach of Thailand. Materials can be shipped to Thailand daily by truck and makes the expense of doing so very low. Because of the history of manufacturing in SE Asia and how it was developed Malaysia offers some good value and tressures that are hard to find in Thailand which can be utilized in Thailand.
The good things to consider about Malaysia are:
Malaysia has excellent infrastructure which is positioned to well-serve the businesses in the country. Excellent air, land and sea cargo facilities make transporting goods easy. The international sea and air connections provide multinational corporations with an easy route to deliver their goods and services to places all over the world. With highway access linking the country to Thailand in the North and Singapore at the tip of the peninsula, connectivity between neighbouring nations is also excellent. The telecommunications infrastructure is one of the best developed in the region, supporting a range of domestic and international communication services. This is excellent for any business that has operations in other locations.
South-East Asia has seen rapid development in recent years and is one of the main regions fueling global GDP growth. Malaysia is part of ASEAN, an intergovernmental organisation promoting cooperation between 10 countries, and also the third-largest trade bloc in the world. Located at the heart of ASEAN and surrounded by other major regional powers like Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, Malaysia offers easy access to the 650 million large market. As SE Asia countries progress and its citizens grow more affluent, the consumer spending power of the huge population will grow. Malaysia is strategically positioned to take advantage of this important market, acting as the perfect hub for businesses in the region.
Thanks to the good education system, foreigners will find it easy to communicate with locals as English language ability is common amongst the population. The workforce has all the required skills to operate a business correctly and are also some of the most productive people. Its legal practices are also based on the British system, giving companies excellent protection.
