MELAKA, May 16 — The duties of security personnel in ensuring peace and stability in the country has contributed significantly to the increase in foreign giant companies’ interest to invest in Malaysia, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
“Let’s not forget, if the country is not safe, investors won’t come. In Sudan and Pakistan for example, they do not receive any new investments , but in Malaysia, we do get new investments because the police are always there ensuring peace and maintaining public order.” Anwar said national peace and political stability had indirectly lured giant companies like Geely, Amazon and Rongsheng Petrochemical Co Ltd to invest in Malaysia, with total investment amounting to billions of ringgit.
