Hong Kong companies are hailing Malaysia as “a go-to place” for artificial intelligence (AI) and e-commerce development amid a push to explore Southeast Asian markets, while many have said the city’s new domestic national security law poses little threat to future cooperation.
Muzambli Markam, the country’s top diplomat in Hong Kong, also expressed confidence that Malaysian firms would not shy away from business in the city following the legislation’s enactment.
He expressed the views at a networking event in Hong Kong on Thursday, which was held to generate interest for the Malaysia-China Summit taking place in Kuala Lumpur between December 17 and 19.

This year’s event will also mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
“For businesses, Hong Kong will always be seen as [in] a unique position, as a gateway to China. And Hong Kong will always be an international city,” Markam told the Post.
