About this event

Note: The venue will be capped at 50 pax on a first-come-first-serve basis to ensure social distancing. Entrance is strictly by registration only, no walk-ins will be allowed. Viewers at home can also follow us live on our Facebook: @penanginstitute. Thank you for your kind understanding.

About the Talk:

The Post-Pandemic landscape will be profoundly different from the pre-pandemic situation. Not only will masks, social distancing and online work be normal, the geopolitical tensions, supply chain decoupling and technology disruptions will continue to add uncertainty of predictions, risks and business models. East Asia will be affected by the broader issues of US-China tensions, technology, climate change and post-pandemic reforms. Southeast Asia will be shaped by major decisions made outside their control, and Malaysia will also have to adjust due to rising competition from growing power of Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippines, as well as Bangladesh. In addition, Penang will have to figure out how to adapt to these complex situation and mitigate the damaging effects.
