“Malaysian companies should take a leaf from the Government’s approach – now, more than ever, it is critical for companies to balance their financial and social obligations to ensure the sustainability of their business. From adoption of technology, building more resilient supply chains, transitioning or adapting hybrid business models, incorporating greater focus on e-commerce, to people policies which include focussing on the wellbeing of human capital assets such as hiring across a broader segment of the population, including the retirees, we hope to see a future with stronger, more resilient and socially conscious companies that are driven by creating positive impact.” Michele Kythe Lim, President/CEO, Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia
Amidst unprecedented times, Malaysia embarks on a recovery journey of its economy based on three fundamental thrusts – the Rakyat’s prosperity, business continuity and economic resilience. The Government has set the right tone from the top, as the Budget 2021 seeks to simultaneously create new economic and revenue streams, generate jobs and create sustainable income avenues, and opportunities for the people. Join us in reviewing the tax and targeted incentives, as well as economic measures of the largest budget in Malaysian history that is intended to encourage recovery, growth and investment whilst safeguarding existing jobs, reskilling the unemployed and caring for the underserved communities. Listen to the budget highlights and key takeaways from our panel of experts as they discuss the nation’s efforts in stimulating the economy, paving the way to recovery and ensuring that businesses and communities are sustained through these tough and challenging times. At the session, we will be exploring:
- A snapshot of the Budget
