Malaysia Smelting Bets On A Tin Revival

Malaysia Smelting Corporation (MSC) has been in the tin industry for well over a century. We take a deep dive into the company's earnings and balance sheet trends with its CEO, Datuk Dr. Patrick Yong. We also ask what MSC is doing to re-energise the business. Datuk Patrick Yong says that while the company is currently sweating through a "healing period", he predicts a tin revival will soon bring improvements. We also discuss what the tin company is hoping to achieve by making a rather unexpected move into the property industry.

Listen in.

Running a business built on local craft and grit is a cornerstone of Malaysian culture. But as the nation prepares for the massive influx of Visit Malaysia 2026, "passion" alone may no longer be enough to scale. While MSMEs represent 97% of all registered businesses and contribute 38% of the national GDP, many remain tethered to a cash-heavy past that limits their growth.
