On April 23rd, AMCHAM, in partnership with Cultural Impact, hosted a webinar on “Leveraging Team Psychological Safety for High-Performance Teams.”
Marie Tseng, Founder of Cultural Impact, led an insightful session on how Team Psychological Safety (TPS) can drive collaboration, foster innovation, and boost overall team performance. She unpacked the building blocks of successful teams and explored the dynamics that either support or hinder peak performance.
Participants also walked away with practical strategies for cultivating trust and open communication, alongside real-world case studies demonstrating the impact of TPS.
Thank you, Marie, for leading this valuable session, and to all attendees for your thoughtful questions and engagement!
US President Donald Trump said he plans to be “very nice” to China in any trade talks, and that tariffs will drop if the two countries can reach a deal, a sign he may be backing down from his tough stance on Beijing amid market volatility.
“It will come down substantially, but it won’t be zero,” Trump said on Tuesday in Washington, following earlier comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that the tariff stand-off is unsustainable. Trump added that “we are going to be very nice, and they are going to be very nice, and we will see what happens.”
On April 21st, AMCHAM’s Healthcare & Lifesciences Committee (HLSC) had the privilege of meeting with Dr. Yap Wei Aun, CEO of the Health Transformation Office, and Dr. Mahesh Appannan, Director of the Digital Health Division, along with their team at the Ministry of Health in Putrajaya.
Chaired by James Tan, Vice Chair of HLSC, the discussion focused on MOH’s short- and long-term priorities, the role of AI and digital health transformation, the implementation of diagnosis-related groups (DRG) as part of healthcare financing reforms, and the Rakan KKM initiative.
We are truly grateful to Dr. Yap and Dr. Mahesh for taking the time to engage in this meaningful dialogue with the Chamber. Strengthening this collaboration is a vital step in enhancing public-private partnerships and supporting Malaysia’s healthcare transformation journey.
The HLSC looks forward to continued engagement with the Ministry as we begin planning for the AMCHAM Healthcare Forum 2025.
