of the Malaysia’s manufacturing sector. By focusing on the manufacturing sector, this study analyse to what
extent the TFP level affected by the globalization. More specifically, this study examines the impact on the TFP
among sub sectors of the manufacturing sector. The indicators of globalization under examination comprise of
foreign investment, technology, foreign labour and trade’s openness in the economy in such a way to observe
trade liberalization. By covering the study period from 1990-2010, the survey data of the industrial
manufacturing was obtained from the Department of Statistics Malaysia. The findings indicate that the
openness of the economy and foreign direct investment are statistically significant and have positive impact
on the TFP level. In contrast, technology agreement and foreign labour are not significant. The findings by sub
sectors show that transport equipment industry has significantly and positively influenced the sub sector’s
TFP level by all globalization’s variables.}
