Malaysia comes 12th out of 185 competing countries



KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is the 12th most competitive economy in the world for doing business, according to the 2013 edition of The World Bank's "Doing Business" report. 

The ranking places Malaysia ahead of economies like Sweden (13th), Taiwan (16th), Germany (20th), Japan (24th) and Switzerland (28th).

International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said in a statement that Malaysia’s new ranking is a significant improvement over last year’s 18th position and 23rd in 2010, continuing a trend of improving competitiveness which began four years ago.

"This year’s climb by six notches to 12th spot represents the country’s largest leap in competitiveness ranking in recent years," he added.

The World Bank report surveys 185 economies across competitive criteria such as ease of starting a business, getting licensing approvals, efficiency of tax administration and ease of trading across borders.

Malaysia improved its competitiveness in five areas of business, namely, getting electricity (from 59th to 28th), registering property (59th to 33rd), paying taxes (41st to 15th), trading across borders (29th to 11th) and dealing with construction permits (113th to 96th). - The Mole 



Guess the Barisan Nasional-led Government must be doing something right to register such an achievement in the global arena. 

This is not about who talks more or who is the champion of champion in public debates. This is about achievements, real tangible achievements recognised by investors.

p/s This is something which Anwar Ibrahim and gang won't talk about because it involves showing results and fulfilling promises. Janji DiTepati must be a bad word in their vocabulary.

What do you have to say about your UMNO supreme council member Ali Rustam wasting people's money on un- Islamic things?
“A bomoh hujan (rain medium) has been hired by the Malacca government to help minimise effects of the current wet spell”
I have 10 questions that I seek clarification on:
1. If its an un-Islamic practice, where is Jabatan Islam on this? Or they prefer to chase after teenagers in khalawat cases .
2. How much was the bomoh paid and was there a tender issued? Did they get 3 quotations?
3. What is the penalty for non-performance?
4. Is the bomoh certified by MoF to act as a consultant ?
5. What has PEMANDU and Agensi Inovasi has to say about this? Can this IP be marketed globaly?
6. Does Talent Corp need to go around the world to seek Malaysians around the world for this special bomoh skills.
7. How will Jabatan Audit do an audit on this?
8. Can we put this factor in MIDA’s brochure for easy of doing business in Malaysia, coz we can tell the foreign companies we can stop the rain anytime you want, and we wont have flooding issues like in Thailand .
9. What has the PM has to say about this?
10. And finally , do you agree that Ali Rustam is a moron?
