1 Year PMX Review: Has Anwar Ibrahim Done Enough For Business?

Friday November 24th marks exactly a year since Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was sworn in as Malaysia’s 10th prime minister. With that in mind, on this episode of Enterprise Biz Bytes we ask — has Anwar Ibrahim’s Madani Government done enough for the business community after a year of being in charge?

We'll break down what the business community thinks of this government after 1 year, how much the business ecosystem has progressed from a year ago, if at all, and what all these announced billion ringgit investments really mean for local businesses on the ground.
