In our latest Insight On Demand, Kinetik CEO Sam Baxendale reflects on a strong first half for Malaysia and what it means for the talent market. ๐ฒ๐พ
With Malaysia delivering 5.8% GDP growth in Q2, taking first-half growth to 5.6% despite global headwinds, there is every reason to be optimistic about the countryโs trajectory. As investment gathers pace, hiring demand and skills requirements are evolving just as quickly. Given our regional footprint, we take stock of Malaysiaโs connectivity to both Singapore and Thailand too.
Please review our latest perspective on why this is a moment for confidence, where opportunity is emerging, and what employers should be watching as we move into the second half of 2026.
