On behalf of our colleagues at the Malaysian Danish Business Council (MDaBC), EUROCHAM Malaysia as a supporting partner would like to invite our members to participate in the upcoming Parliament Briefing series. The theme of the briefing will be the 7^th Parliamentary Briefing on Political machinations, elections, and lingering uncertainty:  What to expect for 2022 and beyond.

A series of by-elections has brought Malaysia no closer to the answer to the guessing game of when will the general election be held. What are the indicators for GE15, as well as what will this mean for the country and the economy in the long run? Is Malaysia returning back to an age of strong coalitions, or towards a future of dynamism, with smaller parties playing an important role?

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the process of digital transformation and added urgency for governments and businesses to respond. From micro-enterprises to multinational conglomerates, businesses in every sector and every region of the world are becoming increasingly dependent on information and communication technologies (ICTs) and a secure, stable, and trusted Internet to carry out their daily operations.

With this survey, EUROCHAM Malaysia and valued Bilateral/Associate Chambers seek to measure the digital approach and digital maturity of European and Malaysian organisations operating in Malaysia as well as better understand the impact of the pandemic on the digital transformation strategies of these organisations.

Correspondingly, we would like to further understand the general sentiment on the digital economy.
