Geopolitics is reshaping global trade, positioning Malaysia, other ASEAN nations, and the Global South as key winners. In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we speak with Aparna Bharadwaj, Managing Director & Partner at BCG Singapore and Global Leader of BCG’s Global Advantage Practice, as she unpacks the forces transforming international trade and what today’s business leaders must understand to navigate this dynamic landscape. Drawing on insights from BCG’s report ‘Great Powers, Geopolitics, and Global Trade’, the conversation dives into how North America is reducing its reliance on China, while ASEAN and other Global South markets are emerging as key players. Aparna explains the domino effect of shifting trade flows, the impact of rising tariffs, and the strategic importance of building geopolitical muscle in today’s volatile market. The discussion highlights opportunities for diversification, the benefits of resilient supply chains, and the potential for nations like Malaysia to capitalise on these trends. Here are some AI-generated key highlights from the conversation: Global Trade Shift: Trade is moving from free-market ideals to systems driven by geopolitics, economic security, and shifting corridors, sparked by the US-China trade slowdown and rising economic nationalism. Key Trade Corridors: Expect a $160 billion shrink in US-China trade, rapid growth in China–Global South flows, and significant increases in US–India trade—creating a domino effect across regions. ASEAN & Malaysia’s Edge: ASEAN, especially Malaysia, benefits from a "China plus X" strategy thanks to pragmatic policies, special economic zones, and opportunities in the halal market. Impact of US Tariffs: US tariffs, a pillar of the "America First" policy, and potential reciprocal measures are reshaping supply chains and trade balances globally. China’s New Focus & Global South: China is pivoting away from the West toward increased trade with ASEAN, BRICS+, and the global South, where faster GDP growth and resilient FDI flows prevail. Business Strategies: Key recommendations for businesses include strengthening supply chain resilience, building geopolitical intelligence, exploring new growth markets, considering nearshoring strategies, and diversifying market footprints.

From Khazanah’s impressive 2024 performance to MAHB’s privatisation, in this episode of Enterprise Explores, we delve into the inner workings of Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund, Khazanah Nasional. The firm plays a crucial role in managing the nation’s wealth—but what drives its decisions, and how does it justify them? Drawing on insights from its 2025 Annual Review, our discussion with Managing Director Dato' Amirul Feisal Wan Zahir highlights Khazanah’s impressive 24.6% return on investments in 2024 and how Malaysian assets drove that performance. We also explore the rationale behind its four-portfolio structure that balances commercial returns with developmental impact, and examine how political stability, attractive market conditions, and regulatory incentives have fueled success in Malaysian capital markets. Looking ahead, he discusses the potential risks for 2025—from global macroeconomic uncertainties to shifts in foreign investment flows—and outlines strategic measures to safeguard national wealth while capitalising on growth opportunities. Dato' Amirul also sheds light on the strategic rationale behind MAHB’s privatisation—designed to unlock capital for future investments and boost efficiency in the aviation sector—as well as the evolving role of Jelawang Capital in nurturing Malaysia’s startup ecosystem.

Straight As for Malaysia’s IPO Market? In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we dive into the dynamic world of IPOs as Malaysia’s capital market outperforms its regional peers. Despite a 36% decline in overall Southeast Asian IPO proceeds, Malaysia doubled its funds raised in 2024 with 55 listings—the highest number since 2006. With record ACE Market listings and increasing foreign investor interest, we examine what’s fueling Malaysia’s IPO success and whether this momentum can be sustained. Joining us is Wong Kar Choon, Transactions Accounting Support Partner at Deloitte Malaysia. Drawing on insights from Deloitte’s Southeast Asia IPO Capital Market 2024 Report, the conversation explores key drivers behind Malaysia’s robust performance, including strong political stability, attractive price-to-earnings ratios, expedited regulatory approvals, and tax incentives for tech companies. Kar Choon discusses how these elements position Malaysia as an attractive destination for both domestic and international investors and outlines the trends to watch for in 2025. We also delve into the differences between the ACE market and the main market, as well as potential risks from broader macroeconomic uncertainties.

Today, we’re looking at a major shift in how Malaysia’s civil service operates. The Ministry of Digital, in collaboration with Google Cloud, has launched the AI at Work 2.0 initiative, aiming to equip 445,000 public officers with cutting-edge generative AI tools. Beyond the technical capabilities of AI, there are deeper concerns, and from a public perspective, what does this mean for the way citizens interact with government services? We speak to Esther Low as we discuss the opportunities and risks of integrating AI into the civil service, the potential effects on skills development, and what best practices can ensure AI is used to enhance, rather than replace the human workforce.

Who controls AI’s future? As China’s DeepSeek and Alibaba’s Qwen push open-source forward, OpenAI is doing the opposite — keeping its most advanced models proprietary. Earlier this year, CEO Sam Altman admitted that OpenAI may be “on the wrong side of history” when it comes to open-source AI, sparking intense debate. Is this a necessary move for safety and sustainability, or a power play that stifles innovation? To unpack this, we speak with Manuel Ho, Co-Founder & CEO of IntentAI, a company building AI Agents for enterprise clients in finance and healthcare. We discuss the global AI race, the ethics of openness vs control, and what this means for businesses, individuals, and the future of AI innovation.

As AI becomes more widespread, its potential benefits and risks for businesses become clearer. In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we unpack four emerging AI trends that are set to reshape business with Azwan Baharuddin, Malaysia Country Managing Director of Accenture. Drawing on insights from their 2025 Tech Vision report, Azwan explains how exponential AI growth—termed the "Binary Big Bang"—is poised to upend traditional systems, while AI agents promise to personalise customer interactions if brands can safeguard their unique voices. He also discusses how robots integrated with large language models (LLMs) are beginning to perform complex tasks in human environments, and how generative AI adoption is creating a continuous learning loop that expands both human and machine autonomy. The conversation delves into key challenges such as ethical usage, data privacy, and the need for robust upskilling programs. Azwan emphasises the importance of focusing investments on reshaping core functions rather than spreading resources too thin. Whether you’re a business leader or tech enthusiast, this discussion offers actionable insights on harnessing AI’s potential. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Platforms like Instagram are trying to lure creators away from TikTok with initiatives like the Breakthrough Bonus. At the same time, an increasing number of American users are migrating to Xiaohongshu (RedNote), a Chinese social media platform, despite security concerns. This has raised questions about its future growth and the potential strain on its censorship mechanisms. But is this the right response to platform instability, or is it just a temporary fix?
