2.2 GOVERNMENT POLICY AND INSTITUTIONS Malaysia has sought a hybrid approach, which aims to consolidate immediate government support and intervention and foreign direct investment ( FDI). At the macroeconomic level, the Malaysian government has implemented several five-year monetary plans. One of the most ambitious goals of these five-year agreements is for Malaysia to transform into a fully realized, modern economy by 2000, taking into account GDP and a wide variety of social indicators.

Absence of a vital purpose to attempt cooperation which is a disappointment to structure and manage joint initiatives and international cooperation as technology transfer opportunities. Past foreign direct investments have traded critical manufacturing skills, but minimal technological and marketing know-how;2. Lack of local expertise to retain and timely exploit foreign technological and marketing know-how. Specialist and managerial training was inadequate to absorb the know-how. before and today the emphasis has been placed on the professional and technical level.
