TRANSFORMING MALAYSIA: CHALLENGES TO BECOMING A HIGH-INCOME NATION

The world is going through rapid changes, brought on by the 2008 financial crisis. Banks have crumbled, jobs have disappeared, institutions have failed, and whole economies have collapsed. With many Western economies faltering, it is up to Asian and emerging economies to drive world economic growth. How can Malaysia best negotiate the new landscape that is unfolding and realise its full potential?

For the fourth time, the Perdana Leadership Foundation is bringing together more than twenty-five Malaysian CEOs and industry experts to give their opinions on a wide range of issues connected to Malaysia and its global challenges: productivity, talent management, world politics, competitiveness, and resource sustainability in an event that promises lively interactions and new insights. The event features a special session with Ernst and Young on the impediments to Malaysia’s success and a closing keynote address on the post GE-13 landscape by none other than the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia, YABhg Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.
