Pang Chye, who leads Milliman's Health and Non-life Insurance consulting practices in Greater China and South East Asia, said, "We see a lot of development and plans to liberalise the market in Malaysia, such as the impending motor rate detariffication, and the vibrant dialogue between health insurers and healthcare providers. We continue to help our clients in Malaysia adapt global best practices to the Malaysian environment and are re-enforcing our commitment by adding Kuala Lumpur to our network of offices across Asia."
