Malaysia becoming less competitive.
I was shopping the other day and decided to read the labels on various products.
Magnum ice cream - made in Indonesia Cornetto ice cream - made in Thailand various shampoos - made in Thailand
I suppose it is natural, some industries like these low end manufacturing move out. We still have the higher end. But for how long?

QUOTE(ash tray @ Jul 4 2013, 12:04 AM) electronics --- we do assembly, we are not a part of the "creation" chain plastic --- fact that we are still calling it "plastic" denotes how far behind we really are the world, back in the 80's, already evolved from the generic plastics to specialized polymers petroleum ? downstream petroleum products can be a lot of things, from tar, to highly refined polymers --- and malaysia, unfortunately, are more onto the tar side in other words, we are cooked, and we still don't know it Got lah. There are design engineers at various companies not just MNCs but some home grown ones. We are not fully cooked yet. Still got chance one.
