Islamic financing well suited to Asian infrastructure: Najib
He suggests Japan be Malaysia's major partner in the setting up of Asia's Islamic financing platform

He added that Japan could become a major partner with Malaysia in the setting up of an Islamic financing platform in Asia, citing the ability of this financing model to "command better terms, given its inherent asset-backed nature" as a reason its appeal is likely to rise in Asia.
