World Fears a Wider Trade War. Malaysia Sees an Opportunity.
Briefly

Malaysia's dual strategy during Trump's tariff war involved courting both American and Chinese companies, successfully attracting multibillion-dollar investments from tech giants in both countries.
With Trump’s return to power potentially disrupting global trade again, Malaysia aims to position itself as a safe haven for multinational companies, creating a special economic zone with Singapore.
Negotiators are finalizing details for an economic zone that will incentivize companies from Singapore to establish operations in Malaysia, taking advantage of financial incentives and space.
The collaboration between Malaysia and Singapore reflects a strategic shift, as both countries seek to benefit from the restructuring of global supply chains in light of recent geopolitical developments.
