Abstract

Malaysia has successfully transformed herself from a poor low-income nation with an economy dependent on two commodities – tin and rubber; into an upper middle-income nation with a diversified industrial economic base. As Malaysia moves into a digital economy era with a focus on Industry 4.0, the Malaysian Government continues to roll out more forward-looking and inclusive policies to encourage sustainable growth along with fair and equitable distribution of wealth.

This e-guide briefly provides an overview of the previous, current and future positions of the Government policies, specifically in respect of foreign investment and wealth distribution.
