, but it’s just the way business leader Datuk Edward Ling feels about missed business opportunities for the Philippines.
For Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industries-Phils. Inc.’s chair, he hates to see investors snubbing its host country, as they were turned off by bureaucracy. The chamber is now tasked to tap a “focal person” who will be responsible in accepting complaints and reviewing them first before their endorsement to the agency. That focal person needs “due certification” by ARTA as well.
“My personal goal is to see the Philippines in the near future—maybe five years…seven years—to be at the level of Malaysia in ease of doing business,” he said.
