PETALING JAYA: While the "Made in Malaysia" product on labels can evoke a sense of pride in locals, a federal minister says the spotlight should be shifted to products that are "made by Malaysia".
Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said the Madani administration has made it a policy to buy products that are not only locally made but also designed by Malaysians.
He also highlighted how he has been wearing shoes designed for the Fire and Rescue Department since he took over the ministry.
According to Nga, the shoes were designed by a Universiti Teknologi Mara engineering graduate.
"They are also regarded as medical shoes and also sold at the National Heart Institute," Nga said.
He added that he has been wearing these shoes to promote local products and show solidarity with the Fire and Rescue Department.
“The quality of the shoes is amazingly good and the price is affordable,” he said.
