Malaysia strikes key industrial partnerships in Europe, slashes green electricity prices by 80%, and faces a growing nurse brain drain as talent seeks better pay abroad.

🇲🇾 Malaysia: Industrial Diplomacy and Green Energy Push

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has strengthened Malaysia’s industrial ties during his official visit to Rome. By engaging giants like Fincantieri and Leonardo, Anwar aims to position Malaysia as Asia’s leading maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) hub, particularly in defence and energy sectors.
Meanwhile, the government has announced an 80% reduction in green electricity tariffs under a simplified single-price system. This initiative supports Malaysia’s transition to renewable energy and boosts its attractiveness as a regional data centre and digital infrastructure hub.
