     INTRODUCING MALAYSIA 
           http://www.tourism.gov.my 
A PLACE COMBINES BUSINESS, CULTURE WITH NATURE AND ADVENTURE -- IS WAITING 4 U 

Culture and language
The Malay language (Bahasa Melayu) is the national language of the country; English is the second language but other languages can be freely used and practiced. Similarly the Malay culture is dominant in the country because the Malays are the dominant race in Malaysia and in the region. But other cultures can be practiced very freely and there is a free intermingling of different cultures.

Shopping
Most of the items that tourists normally like to buy - perfumes, cosmetics, watches, fountain pens, a long list of electronic goods, branded goods etc. are completely free of tax. Quality goods from all over the world are imported and are relatively low in price and sold throughout Malaysia.

Malaysia My Second Home Program
is promoted by the Government of Malaysia to allow people from all over the world who fulfill certain criteria, to stay in Malaysia as long as possible on a social visit pass with a multiple entry visa. The Social Visit Pass is initially for a period of ten (10) years (depending on the validity of the applicants' passport) and is renewable.

OPERATE VENTURE BUSINESS IN MALAYSIA
Local-foreign Joint-venture - Firms have to be incorporated in Malaysia where foreign shares cannot exceed 30% and share holdings of Bumiputera cannot be less than 30%. The composition of the Board of Directors, management and staff must be of the same proportion. 
The setting up of a company providing advertising services requires the party (individual or individuals) to register with Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) under the Registration of Business Ordinance, 1956, or incorporate a company under the Companies Act, 1965. A foreign company cannot carry on business in Malaysia unless it incorporates a local company or registers the company in Malaysia with CCM.
