Attracting FDIs To Malaysia Requires More Than Policies

The World Bank has trimmed Malaysia's GDP from 4.3% to 3.9%. We speak to their Malaysian lead economist Dr Apurva Sanghi to find out the reasons for this and also how can we attract more foreign direct investment compared to our regional neighbours. We also attempt to answer why our Ringgit continues to weaken despite a generally positive outlook.
