The empirical results showed that the impact of FDI on manufacturing output growth is not as critical as expected.

Over dependence on the domestic market and weak brand image are the weaknesses of the two Malaysian car companies. Trade liberalisation under the auspices of WTO, APEC and AFTA presents both opportunities as well as threats. They can no longer depend on Government support for their survival and growth. The two companies also need to lower their dependence on foreign partners by speeding up their localisation programme. This is essential to reduce cost and be competitive when trade barriers fall. Merger or strategic alliance between the two companies may be one of the ways to remain competitive in the future. …
