If you are interested in a particular question please find here the questions with their time code for you to jump directly. 

1.  In Germany, most people have rudimentary knowledge about what chambers of commerce do since every business needs to be a member of a local chamber of commerce or crafts. But here in Malaysia, it’s a bit different. How would you briefly describe what a chamber of commerce is? 01:36
2. There are two dimensions on how MGCC supports companies. One is that we support German and other foreign companies who are interested in the Malaysian market to do business here and the other dimension is that we provide a network for companies who are already in Malaysia. Can you go in into detail on what that looks like? 02:45 
3.  One benefit we offer is the opportunity of networking via our events. But not everyone fully understands the value of networking because sometimes it is hard to relate this to direct sales. But networking is a powerful business skill, right?  04:32
