Ready to make an impact across borders? Get to know Thian Lim’s regional journey from CIMB Malaysia to CIMB Thai! 🐙⚡️ 🇲🇾 - 🇹🇭 Saying YES to CIMB Thai Joining CIMB Thailand was driven by my desire for new challenges and growth opportunities. Having witnessed CIMB's ambitious regional expansion from Malaysia, I saw potential in markets like Indonesia and Thailand due to their large populations and dynamic ASEAN trade. When the chance to join CIMB Thai during its transformation phase arose, I eagerly embraced it. 🌟 Worthy Challenges Transitioning to CIMB Thai posed unique challenges in a competitive banking landscape. Unlike larger markets, Thailand required constant adaptation and strategic reshaping. Overcoming these obstacles has been rewarding, honing my skills in strategy and people management significantly. 🚀 Growing Beyond Borders My journey at CIMB Thai has been enriching, shaping strategy and overseeing diverse functions like the CEO's Office and Sustainability. Learning basic Thai deepened my connection with local stakeholders, enhancing my understanding of Thailand's business culture. Want to be part of something bigger?

The recent Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (#JSSEZ) Panel by Maybank discussed the JSSEZ's impact on Singapore and Malaysia. It was a privilege to be part of the panel; Thomson Medical is supportive of the JSSEZ initiative, with ongoing projects such as a green-field hospital in Johor and extensive mixed-use land development in central Johor. Many thanks to Mr. Alvin Lee and the Maybank team for organizing this event. The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JSSEZ) represents a significant step forward in strengthening economic ties between #Singapore and #Malaysia. This initiative embodies our shared vision of prosperity, innovation, and sustainable development, and promises a new era of enhanced economic growth and integration. A well-executed JSSEZ strategy can unlock numerous opportunities. By fostering a regulatory environment that encourages investment and innovation, the JSSEZ can create a dynamic economic corridor attracting global investors and nurturing local enterprises. From a #healthcare perspective, the JSSEZ has the potential to accelerate new healthcare delivery models and services. Recognizing established regulatory frameworks like the CE Mark and FDA within the JSSEZ can facilitate the rapid deployment and assessment of advanced medical solutions, devices, and care models while awaiting local regulatory validation. The JSSEZ has the potential to become a central hub for healthcare collaboration, bringing together clinical research organizations (#CROs), clinicians, patients, and global industry leaders. This collaborative environment can foster the development of cutting-edge therapies and medical devices, enhancing healthcare access and quality for the entire region. Thomson Medical is eager to collaborate with potential partners on projects that will drive robust commercial returns, bring about significant community transformation and accelerate regional growth.

Malaysia has positioned itself as a regional hub for fintech innovation, particularly in SEA and APAC, with rising demand supported by neighboring countries like Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand. This creates an immense opportunity for Malaysia to expand its influence and emerge as a global fintech leader. While the foundation is promising, several initiatives can help Malaysia fully realize its fintech ambitions: 1️⃣ Incentivising Global Talent By introducing competitive tax breaks and benefits for expatriates, Malaysia can attract top-tier talent, addressing skill gaps in IT and fintech development. 2️⃣ Regulatory Clarity Implementing clear and consistent regulations would boost investor confidence and create a conducive environment for innovation. 3️⃣ Focused Oversight Regulatory bodies can focus on entities with non-compliance histories, allowing established, well-regulated firms to thrive without unnecessary disruptions. What makes Malaysia so special? Malaysia’s tax regime offers a unique advantage over many Asian countries, providing a lower tax burden and a relatively affordable cost of living. This makes it a prime location for fintech companies seeking a competitive operational base and for professionals looking for career growth in a thriving yet affordable ecosystem. By addressing current challenges and capitalizing on its strategic location and economic advantages, Malaysia has all the ingredients to become a leading global fintech hub. #Fintech #Malaysia #Innovation #SEA
