That is why I believe Canada merits far more serious attention from Malaysian firms. Too often dismissed because of distance, Canada offers something increasingly valuable: a stable, high-trust, high-value market that complements — rather than competes with — Malaysia’s major relationships in Asia. For Malaysian business leaders planning the company’s next move, Canada’s predictability is not a luxury; it is a competitive advantage. Malaysia and Canada share this framework, yet too many Malaysian firms leave its benefits on the table. I would like to see more Malaysian companies seize the benefits of this agreement.
