Malaysia seeks the advantage in long-term cultural and economic exchanges with Taiwan which includes Malaysian talents staying in Taiwan, competitive investment costs and the central position of ASEAN bundled with lovely weather, minimal natural disasters and access to airports and ports. In terms of hardware, Malaysia’s network bandwidth has constantly improved and runs on an ideal power supply, an addition to highways and railways that connects Malaysia to other ASEAN countries. The strong support from the Malaysian Government, business policy and the protection of intellectual property rights have shown that Malaysia is a central hub for ASEAN’s development. Which is why the program selected Malaysia to work with as a partner in assisting Taiwanese business operators towards an advanced ASEAN.
