CEO confidence in Malaysia has dropped in early 2025, with business leaders becoming more cautious amid global tensions, trade challenges, and a shrinking talent pool. Despite the local economy remaining steady, companies are under pressure to manage immediate challenges while keeping long-term goals in focus. In this episode of Pinnacle Perspectives, Philip See speaks with Soo Hoo Khoon Yean, Managing Partner at PwC Malaysia, about how businesses are navigating these complexities.
