Event Details

AMCHAM members are invited to a special breakfast talk on Monday, November 4th 2019 from 9.00am to 11.00am at the AMCHAM Executive Office to discuss the contents of the government's Budget 2020 initiatives.


We are delighted to welcome experts speakers from PwC and EY to talk our members through the various Budget announcements, to answer any questions about the specifics, and to help members understand any implications for your business. This is also an excellent opportunity to raise any issues that may need the attention of AMCHAM's government relations team.


The event has been scheduled for early November so that we will be able to make reference to the government's Finance Bill, which will contain a lot more detail than the Budget speech made by Minister of Finance YB Tuan Lim Guan Eng in Parliament on Friday 11 October.


Please note that this is the KUALA LUMPUR edition of this talk - some members may prefer to register for the Penang edition, which takes place on Friday 01 November - please see the Events page of our website.


A light breakfast with coffee/tea will be served.


For any questions about this event please contact Lewis Walmesley-Browne, Public Affairs Manager at lewis@amcham.com.my
