Over nine plenary and concurrent sessions, business and thought leaders such as Tan Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh, Group Managing Director, MMC Corporation Berhad, Mr Yeoh Keong Hann, Executive Director, YTL Power International Berhad, Mr Eqhwan Mokhzanee Muhammad, CEO, AmBank Islamic Berhad, Ts Mahadhir Aziz, CEO, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), Ms Aireen Omar, President (Ventures),  Capital A, Hajah Mahuran Saro Dato' Haji Sariki, Vice President Group Research, Development & Policy, and Malaysian Professional Talent, TalentCorp Group of Companies, Dato’ Azman Shah Mohd Yusof, CEO, Northport (Malaysia) Bhd, Prof Dr Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Senior Adviser, Khazanah Research Institute and  Datuk Emeritus Prof Dr Norma Mansor, Director of Social Wellbeing Research Centre, University Malaya, will speak on issues that cover technology in business, talent and manpower, renewable energy, public finance, logistics, and inflation.
 
At the close of the event, former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will share his thoughts on “What Does the Future Hold for Malaysia?”
 
“Malaysia is fortunate in that we handled the pandemic relatively well thanks to the coordinated action of our health authorities. Our economic fundamentals have also held up throughout the crisis, thanks to central bank oversight, public sector assistance, and the effort and determination of our private sector. But headwinds still assail us from external and internal sources, especially with the General Elections already upon us. It is thus timely that we have this Forum where business leaders and industry experts are gathered to discuss issues of common concern, such as inflation, economic trends, and the environment, as well as identify sectors that are growing in importance such as technology and logistics. The business community plays a huge role in strengthening, fortifying, and reviving the Malaysian economy, and this Forum is a platform for PLF to surface the concerns of business leaders to policy-makers,” said Tan Sri Azman Hashim, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Perdana Leadership Foundation.

The Forum is the ninth edition organised by Perdana Leadership Foundation, an independent non-profit research, and archive leadership institution, with venue sponsorship by Berjaya Corporation Berhad and official venue at Berjaya Times Square Convention Centre. The Forum is also sponsored by Sime Darby Plantation Berhad as Platinum Sponsor, IJM Corporation Berhad, Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad, and CIMB as Gold Sponsors; Northport (Malaysia) Bhd, AEON Co.
