There are many small businesses in Malaysia that are taking a loan from a bank, private loan, or much worse from a loan shark. Almost all of their business supplier come from China. The problems started when the market start to shaking and unstable. For example, Covid-19 is really giving a big hit to the markets and economies. This causes the connection between Malaysia’s brand and China‘s supplier interrupted because the brand owner is not allowed to travel to China to do quality control and many factories in China are closing due to Covid-19. A brand owner is unable to estimate when the markets are going to be stable again, therefore, cause many budget cuts, not able to pay their supplier & staff, not able to recover losses, and forced them to switch market strategy or shut down completely.

Some business owners don’t really have a plan for their products. They just give all their hope to the sales team to make a profit without giving them a proper direction. When the sales team isn’t able to make a profit, the business owner started to point fingers and this may damage the company.
