bbc exactly why. as a tech ceo, one of the most valuable uses . one of the most valuable uses of my time is actually taking customer support calls. running a tech company is a lot like running a coffee shop. you can actually go your entire career without ever meeting a customer, because customers don't come in and talk to you. so as the ceo, you need to practically reach out to customers to get to know them. this can mean answering customer support tickets, taking customer calls or being on sales call because if you don't do this you can really lose track of what your customers actually need from you. one of the funniest experiences i had as a tech ceo taking customer support calls was one time i had a customer tell me, wow, you know the business very well, is there some manager i can give some feedback too, i would love to tell you the greatjob you're doing. i tell them, tell you the greatjob you're doing. itell them, thanks tell you the greatjob you're doing. i tell them, thanks a lot, i let them know. more news making headlines, malaysia's prime minister has threatened legal action against anyone found hoarding rice, as concerns over rising prices and supply shortages have led to consumers stockpiling local grains. the southeast asian country imports around 38% of its race needs and is feeling the impact of import restrictions imposed by countries like india, leading to panic buyers by consuming —— ijy to panic buyers by consuming —— by consumers. tiktok is testing a new monthly subscription, which would get rid of adverts on the video sharing site. the bbc at the moment understands that the chinese firm is trying out the service in an english speaking market outside the us, but it has also declined to comment on exactly where that is. the subscription is being tested at $4.99. tiktok currently displays personalised adverts for all users over the age of 18. us treasury secretary janet yellen says america has become overly dependent on china for critical supply chains, particularly in technology clean energy products. ms yellen has repeated her long—standing view that the us does not want to decouple economically from china. however, she says the us would face national security concerns without a robust semiconductor sector of its own, and that last year's chips and science act will help reverse that trend. those are the big stories we are tracking on asia business report. much more on the bbc news website. thanks very much for watching but of course do stay on with the bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. doug has cystic fibrosis. 11 years ago, he was on a waiting list, desperately needing a new lungs. you can sa ifi needing a new lungs. you can say if i have — needing a new lungs. you can say if i have it _ needing a new lungs. you can say if i have it will _ needing a new lungs. you can say if i have it will work -
