Forbes: Malaysia`s 40 Richest
Shiok, the Malay word for fantastic, is an apt word to describe the
past 12 months for Malaysia`s 40 Richest. It has been a remarkably good
year for nearly everyone on our second annual list, thanks to the
nation`s thriving economy, which has been helped by recent government
moves to reduce taxes.
The stock market is up more than 20% to date, making it the third-best-performing market in Asia behind China and Vietnam.
