And central to this are the negotiations on the trade pacts Malaysia is currently involved in, including with the RCEP and the CPTTP.

He also discusses Industry 4.0, the National Auto Policy and his work as Member of Parliament for Bangi, the country’s largest constituency, numbering some 180,000 voters, in which he scored a landslide victory.
