Malsia's firm stance on supporting Palestine and opposing Israel could inadvertently affect its potential leadership in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. This stance may lead to strained relationships with countries that are key players in the global EV supply chain, particularly those aligned with Israel. As a result, Malsia might face challenges in securing partnerships, technology transfers, and investments needed to boost its EV sector. This could create an opportunity for Indonesia, which may have more neutral international relations, to step in and lead in the EV industry within the region. Indonesia, already an emerging player in the EV industry, could capitalize on this by attracting foreign investments, leveraging its vast nickel reserves (crucial for EV batteries), and fostering stronger ties with international stakeholders. Malsia's political stance is shifting the competitive advantage towards Indonesia, positioning it as the regional leader in the burgeoning EV market.
