SUMMARY:Panel Discussion on Performance Management System
DESCRIPTION:AMCHAM organized a HR panel discussion featuring Rahul Chawla\, Practice Leader at AON Hewitt\, Masliza Mansor\, HR Director at First Solar Malaysia and Marcin Zabrzanski\, HR Consultant at Motorola. The discussion led by Rahul Chawla was on the future of Performance Management Systems and how companies measure employee productivity. \nMarcin mentioned that Motorola used to practice the traditional performance management system of the distribution curve\, which was forced/guided and rigid. They have now moved to a more flexible system\, whereby regular coaching and feedback are provided. This new methodology better suits the needs of the organisation and its demographics\, especially so for the Generation Y (who do not like Performance Managements but like feedback). \nFirst Solar’s appraisal system provides flexibility as well. Feedback is given on a quarterly basis and during these sessions\, goals can be mutually reviewed. As the solar industry is very volatile\, a flexible system suits their needs. Masliza also added that supervisors and staff are briefed on the process and assessment methods. \nAMCHAM would like to thank HP Malaysia Manufacturing\, Penang for hosting this event.

SUMMARY:Digital Commerce Forum: Optimising Your Digital Commerce Strategy
DESCRIPTION:The emergence of Electronic Commerce (e-Commerce) has changed the traditional way of doing business. Consumers today have the choice of purchasing goods and services with no barriers of time and distance\, through different channels and devices. \nAMCHAM members had the opportunity to have a better understanding of e-Commerce via a Digital Forum that was organized on 29 September 2016. Mr. Sungkyu Chang\, Partner\, Advisory\, ASEAN Customer Leader of Ernst & Young Advisory Services\, led the session\, by giving an overall view of this emerging market in Asia\, stating that e-Commerce represents the largest economic growth in the Consumer Products and Retail Sector. In view of the potential size and growth\, a growing number of brands are now focusing in this region. \nThough e-Commerce does not need high technology\, he remarked that resources\, reliable partners\, regulations (local and cross-border) and infrastructure are some of the challenges in this part of the world. Consumers on the other hand are concerned on the safety and security of electronic payment. \nMs. Wee Huay Neo\, Director of e-Commerce at Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) concurred with Mr. Sungkyu on the potential growth of e-Commerce in the Asian Region.  She added that with focused intervention\, the potential to grow is bigger and thus the National e-Commerce Strategic Roadmap for Malaysia was set-up. Amongst the key initiatives are to\n● increase the promotion and marketing of e-Commerce to SMEs\n● mandate the adoption of e-procurement for statutory bodies\n● lift non-tariff barriers\n● create awareness on benefits and security of e-payment \nThe Government also has plans to encourage Malaysian business to move to e-payment systems and participate in international online marketplace. \nLazada\, amongst the bigger platforms for e-Commerce business was represented by their General Counsel\, Mr. Stelios Moussis\,at the forum. He spoke on how the Company encouraged local business to sell online\, which is aligned to the Government’s mandate of encouraging online businesses. Merchants benefitted as they need not worry about payment and customer service issues as it was managed by Lazada. He shared that though the Company is just a platform for transactions between buyers and sellers\, regulators do not see it that way. Thus\, the Company has put in certain controls to protect the interest of both transacting parties. \nTo get a perspective on e-payments\, Mr. Rakesh Krishnamuti\, Head\, Large Merchants\, SEAsia of Paypal\, was the last speaker for the morning. He shared that customers are gaining more confidence in making online payments and they are trending towards mobile for purchases\, ditching other devices as they can now make transactions on the go.\nThe panel discussion and Q&A session saw the speakers in consensus that e-Commerce has tremendous potential. To make it successful\, all parties in this business need to collaborate with one another to enhance customers’ experience\, by easing the process of buying. Only then would customers keep returning to buy online.\nAMCHAM would like thank all the speakers who shared their knowledge and experiences with the audience.

SUMMARY:Elevate Performance through Leading Mindset Change
DESCRIPTION:AMCHAM recently featured Professor Terry Warner\, founder of The Arbinger Institute\, a management consulting firm and scholarly consortium that specializes in peacemaking for various organizations\, families\, and individuals. \nDeparting from our usual business related programs\, this event gave members the opportunity to look at themselves as leaders and the environments they work and play in from a slightly different perspective. Mindset change\, Professor Warner explained often needs to start by reflecting on our own responses to various circumstances and\, noting if we are responding ‘authentically ‘ or\, only in a manner that is expected to even if that response goes against our instincts. Acting closer to our instincts\, ‘authentically’ can often shift attitudes and mindsets. This can be applied to all environments including the workplace. \nHe went on to encourage us to better understand our peers and why they may  behave in a certain manner. If your colleague is angry or moody for example\,  instead of reacting negatively at the person\, try to understand why he or she is behaving that way and deal with the situation with a positive mindset. Seeing each other as people and not objects will ensure smooth running of a task delegated to them. “Understand that each and everyone of us has their own story\, their own world”\, said Professor Warner.\nProfessor Warner stressed that the key to changing ourselves is by allowing ourselves to be open. If we’re not opened to making changes within\, nothing will change. \nProfessor Warner also shared with some real life corporate stories which left members something to ponder upon. \nAMCHAM would like to thank Professor Warner for his time to meet our members and to share his valuable experience and success stories. Thank you to our members for their participation.

Dr. Nirmala emphasized on how data sharing\, tracking and monitoring one’s health is important as the cost of healthcare will continue to rise. She hopes that everyone will have easy access to affordable and quality healthcare with expansions on innovation especially within rural areas. \nModerating the first panel\, Dr. Menon was able to dive deeper into a focused discussion on healthcare development in Malaysia. Panelists John Mckendry\, Country Manager – Malaysia & Brunei at Pfizer\, Dr. Hanafiah Bashirun\, Medical Advisor at International SOS\, YBhg Dato’ Dr. Jacob Thomas\, Chairman at Ramsay Sime Darby Healthcare we led into an interactive conversation around critical areas such as the sufficient allocation of funds by the government to ensure easy access to affordable and quality healthcare by the public\, the role of public private partnerships and the need for greater collaboration to build a sustainable model. \nAfter the break\, the second panel on Technology Advancing in Healthcare was led by Nik Ariff Nik Omar\, General Manager Public Sector Group at Microsoft. Joining him on the panel were Paul Smith\, APAC Marketing Director at GE Healthcare\, Dr. Benjamin Cheah\, Clinical Associate Professor at International Medical University\, Dr. Zubin Daruwalla\, Director – Healthcare at PwC South East Asia Consulting and Lee Yu Kit\, Executive Architect and Former CTO at IBM Academy of Technology. The panelists pointed out how technology can make a difference\, however not by not taking over doctors but how it will be beneficial in providing access to expertise especially for rural areas. Some time was also spent discussing the pros and cons of shared data and the inherent privacy and security risks involved. \nAMCHAM would like to take this opportunity thank our sponsors: MetLife and Pfizer for their generosity and for the speakers for spending time with AMCHAM to make this in making this event a success.

SUMMARY:[SPOTLIGHT SESSION] Tax Audits: Are you ready? Strategies to Enhance Tax Risk Management
DESCRIPTION:Saravana\, Partner of Tax\, GST\, and Customs Practice from Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Geldhill sets the tone of the program on Tax Risk Management by reviewing statements from public figures on tax avoidance and the (non) implication of the Panama Papers\, had been seen as a moral concern rather than a criminal offence.

The briefing session followed by review of cases to look identify key takeaways and cases which set precedence for the authorities in Malaysia. From the Court’s ruling on these cases\, summary of case learnings are:\n1.	Terms not defined in an Act should be given ordinary meaning\n2.	Tax imposed on royalty payments are subject to if the royalty payment is a condition for purchasing the goods for sale\n3.	Car registration under the taxpayer’s ownership does not constitutes withdrawal of company’s stock\n4.	An appointed independent director (in that case) is not an employee of the company\, thus not subjected to tax imposed on employees of a company.\n5.	Release of debt (in the mentioned case) is not part of taxpayer’s gross income\n6.	Taxpayer was able to reclaim reinvestment allowance due to an error in interpretation of Public Ruling\n7.\nAMCHAM offers SPOTLIGHT Sessions where companies can speak on various topics or provide training to keep our corporate members abreast with latest development and offer opportunity to share learning experiences.

SUMMARY:Competition and Economics
DESCRIPTION:The Competition Law aims to create a fair business environment for organizations by promoting competition in the market and providing regulations that prohibit mergers that lessens competitions\, anti-competitive agreements and abuse of a dominant position. The Competition Authority’s role is to protect the competitive process for the benefit of businesses\, consumers and the economy. \nMs. Tanya Tang of Rajah & Tann kicked of this in-depth look at the Competition Law by giving an introduction on key points of the law and the work of the Competition Authority that engages in a balancing act\, weighing the net effect between the anti-competitive effects of the conduct and benefits of the conduct. Should the benefits outweigh positively\, the Competition Authority is able to provide an exclusion clause that allows an agreement to go though. Cooperation Agreements such as Airlines Agreements have been approved by the Authority as the airlines’ had been able to provide quantifiable data to substantiate that the respective alliances would be beneficial to customers.\nAnother point that Ms. Tang highlighted was how sellers are giving exclusive discounts and rebates to certain buyers. To ensure fair competition amongst the buyers\, she went on to say\, sellers should extend the discount and rebates to all their buyers. Exclusivity should not be practiced. \nMs. Tang moved on to the next topic of interest\, the Most Favored Nation (MFN)\, which essentially involves a vertical agreement and is one of the cornerstones of the WTO trade law.  With MFN status\,  the supplier commits to grant the distributor a price that is no less favorable than the prices granted to its other customers. \nThe speaker emphasized that a good understanding of economics and its tools provides more clarity on how markets operate\, how firms behave in particular markets and whether their behavior will result in competition that benefits consumers. Competition Authorities fall back on economic tools to verify net benefits and competitive harm to protect consumers’ interest. \nIn ASEAN countries\, Thailand takes the lead as being the first country to enforce its Competition Law (1999)\, whereas countries such as Brunei\, Cambodia\, Laos and Myanmar have yet to enforce it. The panel of experts representing the ASEAN countries gave an overview of the Competition Law in their respective countries and shared the similarities and differences of how the Competition Authority carried out its role. Though they are located in the same region\, they do not foresee a harmonization of the law amongst these countries\, as each country is at a different level of expertise on Competition Law in addition to its own cultural\, political and economic landscape.\nThey advised the audience to know their competition profile and their position in the market to ensure their competitiveness.  As there is general lack of awareness on Competition Law\, corporations should seek ways to increase awareness among their business heads and to play a more active advocacy role. \nThe session ended with a Q&A amongst the audience.\nAMCHAM would like to thank the main speaker Ms Tanya Tang (Rajah & Tann\,\, Singapore) and members of the panel\,   Fong Chuen Fuen (Malaysia Competition Commission) Vu Thi Que (Rajah & Tann\, Cambodia)\, Kala Anandarajah (Rajah & Tann\, Singapore)\, Anastasia Pritahayu R. Daniyati (Assegaf Hamzah & Partners\, Indonesia) who gave a regional perspective of the Competition Law and Patrick Tay (PwC\, Malaysia) who mediated the event.
