Medicine’ s new frontier

Malaysia’ s halal pharmaceutical market is moving from niche recognition into mainstream growth-p22-23

Malaysia has spent decades building global trust in its halal standards. The next challenge is to turn that trust into trade. Pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, healthcare, cosmetics and advanced manufacturing are opening new high-value frontiers, while artificial intelligence, blockchain and digital traceability are transforming how trust is established across increasingly complex global supply chains. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi believes Malaysia has the foundations to lead this transformation. But leadership will depend on translating certification credibility into science, technology, intellectual property and commercially viable innovation.
