Amazon, China investments have had snowball effect, says Anwar


PUTRAJAYA: The investment of RM25.5 billion by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and RM170 billion by China in Malaysia has a snowball effect with many countries showing interest in investing in the country, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"If you just wait for investment, but don't prepare the skills, machinery and infrastructure, this will be a problem. When they (investors) come, the need for infrastructure will increase," said the Prime Minister.
