Hear & Now In Malaysia Season 7, Episode 8: Manufacturing Beyond 2020

The days of low-cost assembly lines producing transistor radios and televisions are long gone. Today, it's all about space age nano materials and global manufacturing eco-systems.

This week, on Hear and Now in Malaysia, we're taking a look at the future of manufacturing. We ask if Malaysia has what it takes to remain competitive as well as move up the value chain in the face of renewed global competition.
