Malaysia\u2019s\ninfrastructure is particularly well established among Southeast Asian nations,\nit has a low crime rate, and English is well understood as a semi-official\nlanguage, so there are few communication barriers. It also has relatively few\nnatural disasters, and to date, many Japanese companies have established a\npresence there. In recent years, due to rising wages and other factors, the\nrate of Japanese companies moving into Malaysia has slowed somewhat, but there\nis still a constant stream of companies doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malaysia\u2019s\nlegal system shows strong influences of British law, but domestically, it has\nadopted its own Bumiputera policy, which gives preferential treatment to ethnic\nMalays, which can sometimes have an impact on business. Also, because Islam is\nconsidered the state religion in Malaysia, Islamic law is applied in some\ncases, which is a unique aspect of its legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
