Soh Thian Lai

Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai is the president of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM). He has been vocal about the challenges facing Malaysian exporters due to the recent tariffs imposed by the United States, which are expected to pressure local companies to reduce prices and could negatively impact their profit margins. Soh emphasizes the need for strategic actions from both the government and the industry to maintain the competitiveness of the local manufacturing sector amid rising operational costs and potential trade imbalances.
