Sabah's Record As Receiver Of Highest Investments Proves Its Attraction To Investors
KENINGAU, June 14 (Bernama) -- The disclosure that Sabah pulled in the highest amount of private investments in the first quarter this year, by Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Mukhriz Tun Dr Mahathir at the Dewan Rakyat yesterday, is proof that investors are comfortable with the peaceful and stable atmosphere enjoyed by the state, said Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman Thursday.
Besides this, the cooperation between the people from different communities and religion, are also among the major factors that have attracted investors to inject funds into driving further the state's economy, he said.
"With the billions of ringgit invested in Sabah, it is clear that investors are at ease and very comfortable in the state.
"Therefore, we call on the people to always work together and join forces with the Barisan Nasional government to develop the country and state," he told reporters after checking on preparations for the launch of the Sabah Handicraft Centre which will be officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak this Saturday.
Musa, who is also State Finance Minister, was asked to comment on Mukhriz's announcement that the private sector's investment in Sabah, worth RM10 billion, has made it the receiver of the highest investments amounts among the states, followed by Selangor, Johor, Sarawak dan Terengganu.
