That is a natural and logical reaction to a collapsing ringgit. Good business sense. It also means your you reduce your ringgit cost base (salaries especially). Fantastic.

Clearly the govt knows this is also loves the depreciating MYR as it reduces ringgit denominated civil service emoluments and pensions. This is how Malaysia plans on solving the revenue gap without increasing the tax base.
