Inside Asia’s family empires: How they are transforming to seize the next stage of growth

[KUALA LUMPUR] There are not many listed companies left in Malaysia that still carry “Malayan” in their names. Malayan Flour Mills (MFM) is one of them – but beneath the 60-year-old name is a business that has spent much of its history reinventing itself.
