Create more global brands

A TOP European industrialist once told us that for Malaysia to be an industrial nation, the country must be able to design, engineer and make our own products for the world market. Alternatively, we can also buy out a foreign company with a successful product in the global market and bring it back here before marketing it as a Malaysian success story. The key issue is in the creation of our own successful product for the global market. Once a Malaysian company has a winning product, it can be manufactured here or in any country that would bring down the cost of production or that has a large market for the product.
