Discuss five contributions of the industrial sector to the Malaysian economy. You may frame your discussion with the context of heavy industries, SMEs or in general term.

 

The first most common and biggest contribution to Malaysia will be to utilize natural resources. For a country, if there is no industrial or manufacturing to help to change those resources to useful products, it will be some kind of waste. So that the industries could provide support to process the resources to become better products.

对马来西亚的第一个最常见和最大的贡献将是利用自然资源。对于一个国家来说，如果没有工业或制造业来帮助将这些资源转化为有用的产品，那将是某种浪费。使行业可以提供支持，将资源加工成更好的产品。

Secondly, while the resources are after the industrial processing, it will be a type of value-added process. It means that the low-value raw materials and resources could increase the value to be sold which is more profitable than just raw. At the same time, it will also increase the national income indirectly too.

其次，资源经过工业加工后，将是一种增值过程。这意味着低价值的原材料和资源可以增加出售的价值，这比原材料更有利可图。同时，也会间接增加国民收入。

Third, the industries usually will require a massive amount of employees and labor such as the operator in the factory. It means that the industry is actually created and provides a lot of career opportunities for the local people to increase their income and bring influence to people’s quality of life too.

第三，这些行业通常需要大量的员工和劳动力，例如工厂的操作员。这意味着该行业实际上是创造出来的，并为当地人民提供了大量的就业机会，以增加他们的收入，也给人们的生活质量带来影响。

Fourth, the industry has also transformed Malaysia from the national consumer to become the national manufacturer. Industrial help Malaysia to get used to all the available resources to produce its own product so that it will help Malaysia to become less dependent on other countries' products, but own produce for its own use. In other words, industrial helped to decrease Malaysia's imports and increase exports.

第四，该行业也将马来西亚从国民消费转变为国民制造商。工业帮助马来西亚适应所有可用资源来生产自己的产品，从而帮助马来西亚减少对其他国家产品的依赖，而是拥有自己的产品供自己使用。换句话说，工业有助于减少马来西亚的进口并增加出口。

Fifth, another most common contribution of the industry will be to supply the goods and fulfill the people’s needs.  Industrial is the first sector to access the resources that are responsible to transform the raw materials to become useful items and provide them to small and medium enterprises, sellers, markets, and so on to sell to the consumer in Malaysia. If without industry, there will be no demanded supply for the people's daily usage.

第五，行业的另一个最共同的贡献将是供应商品并满足人们的需求。工业是第一个获得资源的部门，负责将原材料转化为有用的物品，并将其提供给中小型企业、卖家、市场等，然后出售给马来西亚的消费者。如果没有工业，人们的日常使用就没有需求供应。
