This is good. As I read about Malaysian law, it is also appears
necessary that if OHSCA exists in Malaysia that it
must be incorporated in Malaysia. This may be true in other countries,
so I would guess then that
OHSCA would need to be incorporated in multiple countries. Am I
understanding correctly?
I'm not suspicious about other countries' law; rather trying to
understand the issues, requirements, reasons, and advantages.
Sometimes people make decisions without understanding the reality of the
choices.
