Spreading GE's Reach in ASEAN

ASEAN GE President, Stuart L Dean, discusses GE's range of businesses in Malaysia and where on the value chain it is. He talks about GE's capital investments in the region, as well as those higher on its value chain, whether Malaysia's missing out on these commitments is related to challenges such as brain drain, human capital issues, procurement challenges and corruption -- as well as how GE approaches and responds to this.

He also discusses his role on AMCHAM, and its stance on issues such as FDI, the tax regime, shortage of labour and solar feed-in tariffs.

The discussion moves onto how things moved have developed at GE since that landmark $3billion infusion from Warren Buffet three years ago and his views on how bad the situation is in the US today in terms of unemployment - inflation - political despair - Gifford - Obamanomics.

He also talks about GE's various businesses and commitments in its other ASEAN countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.
