It’s the start of a new era for Alibaba. Earlier September, Alibaba’s founder and also the richest man in China, Jack Ma stepped down after 20 years at the helm of the company.

Daniel Zhang takes over from Jack Ma as Chairman and there’s of course a lot of interest in where he plans to take Alibaba moving forward. Listen in.

Keith Kam was at the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) Malaysia Week event in Shanghai, held in collaboration with Alibaba and caught up with Alibaba's official spokesperson, Sami Farhad, who is Senior Director of International Policy & Public Affairs for Alibaba Global Business Group.
