Update from #44thFAEA #Conference -- Aaron Yap, ASEAN Trade Director from MEDB delivered his opening speech. Here's a snippet of it. 👇
"We’re a public-private initiative, business unit if I were to say that is under the Malaysia Economic Development Council, that council is under the office of the current Malaysian Prime Minister. Our focus is primarily picking up initiatives that can benefit the people of Malaysia, and of course we’re also looking at how our projects and initiatives can benefit ASEAN as a whole. We are now looking at creating a pan-ASEAN cashless system, this idea, this concept, its in the works right now, its going to have some challenges which I am going to highlight in my slides later, this is something I believe will benefit ASEAN as a whole in the years to come, sooner rather than later."
