  • The Irish Chamber of Commerce Malaysia said a rule requiring local content may make it more difficult to conduct business and create inefficiencies.

The article from MSN discusses the perspective of the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) on the government's approach to economic incentives. MEF president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman emphasized that instead of providing broad subsidies, the government should focus on giving incentives that promote local content and value addition.

The article highlights the need for a shift in policy to support local businesses more effectively, especially in light of global economic challenges and the need for sustainable economic practices.
