Investments on rising trend

“As for the whole year, we are on track to beat last year’s numbers," Tengku Zafrul said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia hopes to buck the global trend to attract further investment inflows even as competition for such capital is getting keener, especially within the Asean/Asian region.

During the announcement of the country’s investment performance for the first nine months of this year, Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said there is a need to reposition Malaysia on this front so it can continue attracting the right type of investments it wants.
