KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia Singapore Business Council (MSBC) that was dormant
for the past few years, has been revamped and re-energised following the recent
visit to Singapore by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
Set up in 2004 to promote business and investment between Singapore and
Malaysia, the Council has also been reconstituted with Carlsberg Brewery
Malaysia chairman Datuk Lim Say Chong as the new Chairman.
In a statement, the secretariat for MSBC, the Federation of Malaysian
Manufacturers said the council discussed ways of enhancing greater cross border
flows of trade and investments between the two countries at the first meeting of
the new MSBC recently.
"They also discussed the promotion of more effective utilisation of the
Malaysia Singapore Third Country Business Development Fund," it said, adding
that a joint meeting with its counterpart, Singapore-Malaysia Business Council
was scheduled to be held in the first quarter of 2011.
