About Malaysia

In today’s shifting geopolitical and economic landscape, global businesses are actively seeking resilient, strategically positioned environments to anchor long-term operations. Malaysia delivers precisely that — a pragmatic and explorative base with seamless access to ASEAN’s 680+ million consumers, proximity to BRICS economies and China, and a neutral stance in global affairs.

Strategically located in Southeast Asia, Malaysia offers gateway access to key markets including China and India. This advantage is reinforced by streamlined incorporation processes, rich cultural diversity, and world-class infrastructure that fuels cross-border growth. Ranked 12th in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index (2020), Malaysia continues to attract international confidence through regulatory efficiency, simplified licensing, and trade facilitation.

To support your strategic exploration, we’ve published a new e-book — Ease of Doing Business in Malaysia (2025). This guide offers a comprehensive overview of Malaysia’s economic strengths, regulatory landscape, talent pool, and infrastructure readiness, making it an essential resource for investors and business leaders seeking clarity and confidence in their market entry journey.
