Thier higher export from Malaysia factories can greatly boost the GDP. So, GDP term is only use for political marketing purpose. However, it is GNI that matters as it only calculate what is really owned by Malaysian and Malaysian companies, i do not see any high increase of GNI. And any increase of GDP also unlikely benefit for the people as Inflation are higher than even GDP.
