Problem
• The company you are preparing a report for is a typical electrical products chain from overseas. It sells the things that the local chains like Sen Heng or Harvey Norman sells. No need to give a name to the foreign chain. It already has a name, ABC Pte Ltd.
• Students will need to refer quite a lot to the Statistics dept of Malaysia for data on GDP, population statistics, economic indicators, divorce rates etc. They should also use a few years' data to show trends.
• Economic trends-What is the per capita income of Malaysia i.e. GDP divided by the total population. How do we compare with other countries e.g. Singapore or Thailand? What is the average monthly income of Malaysian household? Is there a difference between urban and rural areas? Does Malaysia have a high rate of savings? How has the Covid 19 pandemic affected economy especially the retail industry?
