Pm Record Rm170b Investment Pledges Secured From China





Malaysia has secured a record RM170 billion worth of investment commitments from China.
The amount, the biggest so far from China, is from a total of 19 memoranda of understanding (MoU) sealed between businesses in China and Malaysia.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said this showed the confidence of investors in the country.
“We have achieved the commitment of RM170 billion in investments from China. I must thank the investors for giving their cooperation and for giving us confidence.
“This is historic. It is good for Malaysia and the future,” he said when announcing the news at the Malaysia-China Business Forum, which was attended by some 1,000 business leaders from both countries in Beijing today.
The prime minister is currently on the last of his three-day visit here to deepen the strategic bilateral political and trade relationship with China.
Earlier, in his keynote address at the forum, Anwar urged Chinese investors and business leaders to leverage the strong bilateral ties and seize the vast opportunities being offered by the current government to invest in Malaysia.
“I assure you that under my watch, we will ensure that the ease of doing business and undertaking investments in Malaysia will be at the optimal level.
“So, build more partnerships with Malaysian companies, particularly in strategic sectors to advance deeper interlinkages,” he said.
China remained Malaysia’s largest trading partner for 14 consecutive years, with total trade of US$110.6 billion (RM488 billion) in 2022.
On the investment front, China was the biggest foreign direct investor in Malaysia last year, with investments amounting to US$12.5 billion (RM55.16 billion).
According to statistics from the Foreign Ministry, total exports to China increased 9.4 percent to RM210.62 billion (US$47.84 billion) in 2022, while total imports from China stood at RM276.50 billion (US$62.78 billion) in the same year, or an increase of 20.7 percent compared to the previous year.
Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said Malaysia’s position as the preferred investment destination has been solidified further with the presence of renowned Chinese companies such as Risen Energy, Huawei, Longi Solar, Bytedance, Jinko Solar, EVE Energy, Alliance Steel, Alibaba Group, Geely Auto Group, Xiamen University, and many others.
“It is my hope that these companies, which have invested in strategic areas, will continue to expand their presence and work with local partners as well as the government to build new capabilities, develop key industries, and create high-paying jobs for Malaysians,” said the prime minister.
He said Malaysia will continue to work with China in deepening the existing cooperation in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and to expand economic cooperation in new growth areas such as green development and digital economy.
On the regional front, he said Malaysia will work closely with other Asean member states to ensure that the Asean-China Free-Trade Area (ACFTA) benefits all parties involved.
He said the timely upgrade of the ACFTA will not only deepen trade and investment within the region but also broaden economic benefits with the inclusion of new sectors, namely, digital economy, green economy, competition, and consumer protection, as well as micro, small, and medium enterprises.
“At the same time, the Straits of Malacca will be kept free and safe for economic and trade flows and international stability.
“It is our moral and historical duty to keep it that way,” he said.
The prime minister also witnessed the exchange of 19 MoUs between the companies involved.
Among the notable MoUs were the heads of agreement between DRB-Hicom Bhd and Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co, Ltd on a proposed joint venture on the development and commercialisation of an automotive high-technology valley in Tanjung Malim, Perak, for new energy vehicles, and one between the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia and the China Chamber of Commerce for import and export of machinery and electronic products.
Other MoUs sealed were between Digital Way Group Sdn Bhd, China Silk Road Group Ltd, and China Kairous Capital to jointly establish a Malaysia-China digital and development fund in China and Malaysia, as well as one on a proposed development of a waste-to-energy plant in Malaysia
Meanwhile, International Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz said the MoUs signified the importance of collaboration between companies from China and Malaysia, which would result in a huge spillover for the ecosystem.
“This visit is a very productive one, and a step in the right direction for us,” he told the Malaysian media after the event.
He said the ministry will monitor these MoUs to ensure that the commitments are fully realised.
Besides Zafrul, the delegation to China also comprised Foreign Minister Zambry Abdul Kadir, Transport Minister Anthony Loke, Local Government Development Minister Nga Kor Ming, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang and Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Tiong King Sing.
