What Malaysia and Ireland Have To Offer Each Other

As the UK prepares to leave the EU, we discuss how these developments impact Ireland -- a nation which, as Oliver points out, is smaller than the state of Sabah. We also speak to him about the state of bilateral trade and foreign direct investment between the two countries as well as the ease of doing business in Malaysia as a foreigner.

Plus, despite its small size, Ireland has managed to make Dublin a hub for technology and pharamceutical companies in Europe. So we also discuss what lessons Malaysia may learn from Ireland.
