by NST BusinessKUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s small businesses are experiencing positive business conditions, with many adding jobs and investing in technology, according to CPA Australia’s eighth annual Asia-Pacific Small Business Survey. Malaysia’s small businesses were likely to create even more jobs in 2018. “More than a quarter (27.5 per cent) of Malaysia’s small businesses added staff in 2017, reflecting strong growth for many Malaysian small businesses. “However, Malaysia’s small businesses would benefit from a stronger focus on new digital payment options, such as AliPay, ApplePay and WeChat Pay. I expect we’ll see an increasing number of Malaysia’s small businesses evolve to become large, successful global businesses in the next few years,” Drum said.
