SUMMARY:EIS Briefing by Dato' Mohd Sahar\, Chief EIS Officer at MoHR
DESCRIPTION:AMCHAM is pleased to invite you to attend a roundtable discussion focusing on the recent bill providing for an Employee Insurance Scheme (EIS) on Tuesday\, 21 November 2017 at 10.00 a.m. We are delighted to have received confirmation that Dato’ Mohd Sahar Darusman\, Chief EIS Officer will be joining us for this very important discussion. \nThe EIS bill was approved by the Dewan Rakyat on 26 October 2017 and has been designed to provide additional financial security\, careers counseling\, and retraining for Malaysian workers that lose their jobs due to retrenchment. Contributions of 0.2% of monthly salaries will be required from both employers and employees. To our understanding\, the existing Employment Termination Layoff Benefit regulations and mandatory Human Resources Development Fund contributions from employers will be unaffected by this new program. \nThis roundtable discussion offers CEOs\, Finance Directors\, and Human Resources Managers the opportunity to access detailed information about the legislation and its implementation\, to have your questions answered directly by the people designated to manage the implementation of the scheme from January 2018\, to offer any feedback or suggestions before the bill is taken to Dewan Negara in early December. \nTo ensure the size of the program can deliver a robust conversation\, seating is limited to AMCHAM Members only and will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. We expect a lot of interest in this event and recommend your early registration. \nPLEASE NOTE: To make this a more productive session\, if you have questions to submit ahead of the program please send these to gr@amcham.com.my \nIf you cannot attend but would like to send a representative\, please contact Elyna at elyna@amcham.com.my

SUMMARY:Malaysia Launch of the ASEAN Business Outlook Survey (ABOS)-U.S. Business Perspectives of Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:AMCHAM invites you to the Malaysia launch of the ASEAN Business Outlook Survey (ABOS) on Wednesday\, September 13 from 3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. at the AMCHAM Executive Offices. \nWe are honored to have Y.

We look forward to a robust discussion of Malaysia’s position in the region. \nEach year AMCHAM\, in collaboration with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other AmChams in the region\, surveys business executives from U.S. companies across ASEAN about their perspectives on the business environment and opportunities in Southeast Asia. The findings are presented in an annual publication\, the ASEAN Business Outlook Survey (ABOS). These findings are presented to government representatives in closed-door discussions and at the annual ASEAN Economic Ministers Meeting. \nRespondents of the survey\, because they are charged with making investment decisions on behalf their companies\, have a significant influence on the development of the region. With foreign direct investment from the U.S. into ASEAN representing the largest volume of any nation in the region and\, as U.S. – ASEAN trade volume continues to grow rapidly\, the perspectives of these senior business leaders make ABOS a reliable source for insights on business opportunities and sentiments in ASEAN.

SUMMARY:President Donald J. Trump's 100 Days in Office: Where Are We At?
DESCRIPTION:The 100th day of Trump’s presidency was on April 29\, 2017.  To mark this day\, AMCHAM invited speakers with experience in global\, regional and local political economic affairs to share their views on Trump’s journey\, his administration and its impact on Malaysia.  \nAudience was given a brief background on how and why Trump won the Presidency\, followed by Trump’s administration and his policies. The positions in his administration are still open and his cabinet has very little government experience which is very similar to his background. \nHis trade agenda is still much to be determined on new enforcements and new trade agreements. Though multilateral trade is preferred in the global chain system\, this administration seems to prefer bilateral trade.  With the withdrawal of U.S. from the TPP\, the speaker informed the audience that the remaining 11 countries have the option of going ahead with the TPP without the U.S.  and at at the same time\, they could do a FTA with the U.S. on an individual basis. The other option was for them to move to Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Generally\, there is still much uncertainty. \nThe speakers felt that the diplomatic\, political ties and trading partnership with Malaysia will remain strong and there will continue to be focus on Asia as the Trump administration has made visits to this part of the world.\nAMCHAM would like to thank the speakers\, Steve Okun (Director of Asia Pacific Public Affairs at KKR); Professor Dr Roy Anthony Rogers (Senior Lecturer & Head\, Department of International and Strategic Studies\, University of Malaya); Dato’ Steven CM Wong (Deputy Chief Executive at Institute of Strategic and International Studies\, Malaysia) and Hans Vrien (Managing Partner at Vriens & Partners).

SUMMARY:Private Discussion with AON Hewitt’s Mollie Kohn
DESCRIPTION:Kuala Lumpur – More than 15 guests attended the briefing on Principal Hub by InvestKL and PwC. Speakers Jagdev Singh\, Senior Executive Director at PwC\, and Daniel Teng\, Senior Director of Strategy\, Advisory & Services at InvestKL\, discussed Malaysia’s recent announcement of the Principal Hub incentive that aims to develop a regional hub in Kuala Lumpur by attracting some of the world’s best firms to the nation’s capital. \nThe new incentives\, which will be implemented on 1 May 2015\, was developed in recognition of the changing regional headquarters trends\, global supply chain models\, and the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).
