GDP: (PPP) 2013 
- Total US$521B

Corruption Perceptions Index (2012): 49

Rank: 54th

 

Currency: Ringgit (MYR)

 

Dominant Religion: Islam

 

Official Language: Malay

Government: Presidential democracy

 

 

Background:

 

Malaysia has emerged as a regional hub for Southeast Asia, secondary only to Singapore in importance.  Its infrastructure has been steadily improving and the government has been astute at learning from Singapore's success and implementing policies and laws that enable it to be a strong rival to its successful neighbour.  

 

Malaysia has an interesting ethnic mix of Malay peoples (the majority) with sizable minority populations of Chinese and Indians.  It has retained some of the better aspects of its former British colonial rule and has become one of the best examples of a successful progressive country in Southeast Asia.   

 

Most expatriates become comfortable living and working in Malaysia and enjoy its exotic and diverse culture although the adjustment period is sometimes longer than for more developed Singapore.   

 

Within Southeast Asia, Malaysia is considered the second most advanced nation and is far along the path to developed status.  

 

 

Appraisal of Management Talent

 

Available Types:

Malaysia has established itself as a preferred location for regional head-quarters of multinational companies and is well on the way toward developing an adequate number of Malaysian managers capable of working at international levels.  Local managers are often grouped into 3 main ethnic groups: Malay, Chinese and Indian.  There are various perceptions of suitability among the groups for different types of roles.  

 

Localized expatriate managers are also available in Malaysia but in smaller number compared to Singapore and Hong Kong.  Depending on the industry, there is a slight cost differential between these people and local Malaysian managers although this is steadily being eroded.  In many industries, local managers earn as much as any expatriate could ever hope to.  

 

Education Standards:

Malaysia has a supply of local managers with international education that is one of the best in Southeast Asia.  Malaysian universities are beginning to be recognized as good quality and the majority of successful managers come from the best of these.  Some of the better known include: University of Malaya, Technological University of Malaysia, National University of Malaysia and Putra University of Malaysia. 

 

Candidate Experience:

The increasing number of multinational companies with regional head-quarters in the country means that a growing number of managers have been developed to staff these organizations.  

 

Malaysia has developed a number of world-class companies that are also developing superior management talent.   Organizations such MayBank, Telekom Malaysia, Berjaya Group, PPB Group, among others, operate at international standards and develop capable managers.  

 

Career Stability:

Malaysia has been a fast growth economy for a number of years and the number of career opportunities with high-paying international companies has also grown.  Job stability is still relatively strong compared to less career stable countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam.  Malaysian managers seem comparable to European managers in job stability. 

 

Language Skills:

English is widely spoken in Malaysia among educated people.  Most experienced Malaysian managers have acceptable international English communications skills as well as Asian languages.  Within Southeast Asia, only Singapore and Philippines have better English communication skills.  

 

Candidate Mobility:

Malaysian managers are often interested to relocate to other countries to advance their career and income opportunities.  They are flexible and open-minded and can be successful in both developed and emerging countries.  

 

These superb managers can be particularly good choices for senior roles in less developed countries since they are usually able to adapt relatively easily -- they are self-supporting and get along well with local staff.  As well, their income expectations are often more suitable for smaller emerging countries -- unlike those of expatriate managers from Singapore, Hong Kong and other more advanced countries.  

 

Candidate Motivation:

Malaysians are an interesting blend of cultures.  On the one hand, they seem to retain many of the good aspects of traditional cultures such as loyalty, respect, politeness, etc.  But they can also be highly professional and career motivated (and money motivated) when considering new opportunities.  


Compensation:

Malaysia is well on its way to becoming a developed country.  Management salaries are not as expensive as those of Singapore, Hong Kong and other developed countries but they are higher than all other less developed countries within Southeast Asia (including Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam).
