We visited two companies yesterday, HSBC and MDeC. HSBC is a bank that was originally started in Hong Kong and Shanghai by the Scottish, but now their competitive advantage is the global nature of the bank. There are HSBC banks in about 87 countries worldwide, and the bank has worldwide Centers of Excellence as well.
MDeC is in charge of the Multimedia Super Corridor, where Malaysia provides a tax break and other benefits for companies for up to 10 years. This is to encourage foreign as well as local investment and to improve the infrastructure in Malaysia. The MSC is in the Cyberjaya, or Cyber City, where companies such as Dell, Panasonic, and others have offices and call centers.
In the evening we went out to a hookah bar, and two of us girls went to the KFC nearby to use the bathroom. There was only one stall and it had a squatter toilet, but we tried it anyways and we were successful!!! Later that night we all went to China Town in KL for some knock-off shopping time.
