Malaysia has been making headlines recently for a variety of reasons. The country has been involved in diplomatic strategies such as "orangutan diplomacy" to address concerns over the environmental impact of palm oil production. Additionally, Malaysia has been considering the approval of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, which would be a significant development in the region. On the economic front, Microsoft announced a major investment in Malaysia, with plans to inject $2.2 billion into cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure over the next four years.
