Malaysia's economy grew above expectations in the last quarter of 2013 and the outlook for this year is stable as long as the country is able to withstand internal and external factors, according to one analyst.

Malaysia has big plans to power up its energy sector with diversified investment in oil and gas, hydroelectric power in Borneo and rare earth. The country is striving to become a major international centre for oil and gas production by 2017, having launched this vision in 2001 with the formation of the Malaysia Petroleum Resources under the department of Prime Minister Najib Razak.


Opening Sabah's treasure troves

Some 20 metres from the shores of Sipadan Island in Sabah, Malaysia, the coral reef suddenly drops 1,000m to 2,000m. Divers perched atop the edge of the reef wall can watch from a distance of 10m thousands of swirling barracudas, mating hawksbill sea turtles and many other marine creatures.


SDC offers winning formula for business

It is an exciting time for business in Sabah. The United States-based restaurant giant Darden has started a US$1.6-billion pilot project to grow lobsters in the Malaysian state. As this unfolds, ready-built factories in the Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park (KKIP) have been sold out, prompting the government to develop more with the private sector. Real estate prices have also been upbeat. With inquiries from investors worldwide, especially from Hong Kong, property quotes in Kota Kinabalu have remained robust. Land values along the Sembulan River, for example, continue to strengthen.

MINDA places emphasis on effectiveness of boards

In keeping with a rapidly globalising economy, Malaysia's national commitment to push government-linked companies (GLCs) to become internationally competitive goes as deep as the mindsets of its business leaders. An offshoot of the GLC Transformation Programme, the Malaysian Directors Academy, or MINDA, is keeping pace with these companies, while eyeing to become Asia's renowned institution for high-performing directors and effective boards.


Trendsetting business management solutions grow Asian businesses

Many Asian businesses that have succeeded by keeping up with global economic trends are becoming innovative trendsetters themselves. Asian restaurant chains, for instance, have successfully adapted the Western quick service restaurant (QSR) model in offering food selections that suit local preferences. Having made the model their own, these chains went on to expand outside of their countries of origin.
