Methodology and editorial policy
How MEIHA gathers, checks and updates supply chain information, how companies are listed, and how to request a correction.
Sources
Where our information comes from
Every figure and claim links to a source. We rank sources by how directly they come from the people who hold the data.
- TIER 1
Primary and official
Government policy documents and statistics, legislation, customs tariff schedules, stock exchange filings, standards bodies and the International Federation of Robotics.
- TIER 2
Company and trade press
Company announcements, product pages and investor materials, and reporting from established business and trade media.
- TIER 3
Analyst research
Published research from banks, consultancies and research institutes. We name the publisher and treat forecasts as estimates.
Verification
How we check it
Source
Each fact is traced to the highest-tier source available and linked on the page.
Cross-check
Figures that matter to decisions are confirmed against a second independent source where one exists.
Expert review
MEIHA working groups review pages for technical accuracy before major updates.
Date and revise
Pages show when their data last changed and are reviewed at least every quarter.

Assessments
How we rate localisation potential
The rating on the component map and opportunities page is MEIHA's judgement, based on five factors. It is a starting point for discussion, not an investment recommendation.
Existing Malaysian capability
Do Malaysian firms already make this, or something close to it?
Capital and scale
How much investment and volume is needed before production is competitive?
Technology and IP barriers
How hard is the know-how to acquire or license?
Supply risk
How concentrated is current supply, and how exposed is it to trade restrictions?
Value to Malaysia
Would local production create skilled jobs and links to other industries?
High · Medium · Low
High make locally Medium partner Low import
Independence
Independence and conflicts of interest
Naming a company is not an endorsement. Membership, sponsorship and partnerships do not buy placement, ratings or favourable wording. Working group members declare commercial interests before reviewing pages that cover their sector.
MEIHA presents suppliers from every origin, including China, Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States, and does not favour any country.
Corrections
Corrections and updates
If you find an error, or your company is described inaccurately, send us the page, the statement and a source for the correct information. We aim to respond within ten working days.
Disclaimer
Not legal or trade advice
Trade rules, tariffs and export controls change often. Confirm current requirements with the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, MITI, the Strategic Trade Secretariat and qualified advisers before importing, exporting or investing.
