: The government will continue to cultivate an ecosystem that enables businesses to thrive and make Malaysia an attractive investment destination, said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin .
“As the prime minister, I wish to take this opportunity to offer my ardent assurance that Malaysia was, is, and will always be a country that is pro-business, pro-trade and pro-investment,” he said at the virtual World Chinese Economic Summit, today. Muhyiddin said in the collective pursuit of this elusive balance, it is of utmost importance that governments around the world to continue to remain true to fundamental philosophies and rules that govern international trade, which in turn provides certainty and predictability for businesses.
“Indeed, China’s vocal views that we should not use Covid-19 as an excuse for insularity and inward-looking policies had resonated strongly with Malaysia,” he said. Additionally, the government has also allocated an additional RM1.2 billion in micro-credit financing, to be made available through a number of financial institutions under the recently announced Budget 2021.
