There are certain disadvantages in Malaysia's entrepot trade. First of all, its economic structure is vulnerable to external shocks. The entrepot trade depends on the global economic situation. If the global economy declines, the volume of trade will decrease significantly. Secondly, there is fierce competition from neighboring regions. Singapore, etc. are also important entrepot trade locations and are strong in aspects such as port facilities and financial services. Malaysia faces huge competitive pressure. Moreover, Malaysia's labor costs have increased in recent years, increasing operating costs. In addition, the uncertainty of policies and regulations also brings risks. If policies are adjusted, it may affect the normal development of the entrepot trade. Finally, although the logistics supply chain is developed, in case of emergencies such as natural disasters and public health incidents, the supply chain may be interrupted, affecting the timely transshipment of goods.
