The Workshop was conducted pursuant to the official visit by YAB Prime Minister of Malaysia to China in August last year, whereby YAB Prime Minister and Mr. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba Group had agreed to cooperate on capacity building programmes in the areas of digital economy and e-Commerce.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Workshop, the Minister of International Trade and Industry, YB Datuk Darell Leiking thanked Alibaba Group for organising the New Economy Workshop which marks a key milestone in the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China. The Workshop elevates the level of cooperation between the two countries, including via public-private engagements, namely with the Alibaba Group, given the latter’s pioneering experience in setting the global e-commerce phenomenon.

“This programme also signifies another important milestone in the Government’s commitment to drive the country’s digital economy agenda through capacity building programme for the Malaysian senior officials who are responsible in formulating and implementing policies and programmes on digital economy related fields, in particular e-commerce,” said YB Datuk Darell Leiking.

He further added, “The Workshop encourages the senior officials to be sensitised to digital economic friendly elements in formulating and implementing of policies, initiatives and programs at the national level. The participants are expected to become trainers in their Ministries and agencies, which in return enhance the human capital development in the area of digital economy. Ultimately, the welltrained officials will strengthen the joint-ministries efforts in implementing the National e-Commerce Strategic Roadmap (NeSR), 2016-2020, towards achieving greater economic growth and societal well-being in Malaysia.”

Alibaba Group Executive Chairman, Jack Ma said, “Digital economy provides a level playing field to economies in Asia. It is also poised to be a huge growth driver for developing economies. We hope more small businesses and young people will embrace the digital economy and achieve the success they deserve.” According to Surina Shukri, Chief Executive Officer of MDEC, "Alibaba’s ecosystem has enabled millions of people to participate in the global economy through the use of technology. Hence, it is important for Malaysia, in our efforts in driving the country’s digital economy, to move up the learning curve rapidly, by using the Alibaba experience as our guide."

The New Economy Workshop is the latest example of Alibaba's ongoing commitment to support Malaysia's economic development. The Digital Free Trade Zone (DFTZ) Pilot Project, which went live in November 2017, under Alibaba’s Electronic World Trade Platform (eWTP) initiative, is already a success in institutionalising some of the trade facilitation measures undertaken by the Government. A growing number of Malaysian companies have started to export via the DFTZ, and this will only increase as industry players understand the value of participating in this initiative.

Following-up from this Workshop, the Alibaba Business School, in partnership with MDEC, MATRADE and SME Corp Malaysia will organise a programme called “Alibaba Netpreneur Training Malaysia Programme”, aimed at providing local Malaysian entrepreneurs and business leaders with opportunities to harness digital technology, in order to transform their businesses and the local economy. The 10- day program will be held on 23 March - 3 April 2019 and 13 – 24 April 2019 in the Headquarters of Alibaba in Hangzhou.

seFinal determination on the anti-dumping investigation

concerning imports of flat rolled product of iron alloy or non-alloy steel, plated or coated with zinc, using hot dip process (galvanised iron coils/sheets or galvanised steel

coils/sheets – galvanised iron) originating in or imported from the People's Republic of China and the Socialist

Republic of Viet NamOn 25 August 2018, the Government of Malaysia initiated an anti-dumping investigation based on a petition filed by FIW Steel Sdn. Bhd. on behalf of the domestic industry producing flat rolled product of iron alloy or non-alloy steel, plated or coated with zinc, using hot dip process (galvanised iron coils/sheets or galvanised steel coils/sheets – galvanised iron). The petitioner alleged that imports of the said product originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China and Socialist Republic of Viet Nam are being imported into Malaysia at a price lower than the selling price in their respective domestic markets. The petitioner claimed that this is causing material injury to the domestic industry in Malaysia producing the like product.

The Government has conducted and completed a detailed investigation on producers and importers in Malaysia, as well as producers/exporters from the alleged countries in accordance with the Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties Act 1993. The final affirmative anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of flat rolled product of iron alloy or nonalloy steel, plated or coated with zinc, using hot dip process (galvanised iron coils/sheets or galvanised steel coils/sheets – galvanised iron) from the People’s Republic of China and Socialist Republic of Viet Nam are as follows:

The People’s Republic of China:1. Angang Steel Company Limited : 10.02%2. Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. : 10.62%3. BX Steel POSCO Cold Rolled Sheet Co., Ltd. : 5.47%4. Fujian Kaijing Greentech Material Co., Ltd. : -5.11%5. Jiangyin ZongCheng Steel Co., Ltd. : 5.95%6. Rizhao Baohua New Material Co., Ltd. : 3.75%7. Shandong Huijin Color Steel Co., Ltd. : 4.33%8. Tianjin Haigang Steel Coil Co., Ltd. : -4.66%9. Yieh Phui (China) Technomaterial Co., Ltd. : 3.76%10. Other producers/exporters : 16.13%

The Socialist Republic Of Viet Nam:1. China Steel Sumikin Joint Stock Company: 3.76%2. Hoa Sen Group : -3.34%3. Nam Kim Steel Joint Stock Company : 2.66%4. Other producers/exporters : 15.69%

The Royal Malaysian Customs Department will enforce the collection of anti-dumping duties and this measure will be effective for five (5) years, from 8 March 2019 to 7 March 2024. With the imposition of anti-dumping duties on imports of flat rolled product of iron alloy or non-alloy steel, plated or coated with zinc, using hot dip process (galvanised iron coils/sheets or galvanised steel coils/sheets –galvanised iron) from the alleged countries, it is expected that the issue of unfair trade practices will be addressed. Interested parties such as local producers and importers, as well as foreign producers/exporters and associations related to the investigation can have access to the non-confidential version of the public report on the final determination by submitting a written request to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry as follows:
