Penang CM says FDI up 400% to RM4bil in 2005 since body created

PENANG: The Penang Government’s investment arm, InvestPenang, will not be disbanded as it has been effective in promoting investment growth.

Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, who said this, added that there had been an upsurge in investments since the body was created in January last year.

He said last year’s total foreign direct investments (FDI) was RM4bil, compared with RM1bil in 2004.

“This means that the FDI has increased by 400%,” he told newsmen after opening Tanjung Bungah’s 'Clean Up the World' campaign here yesterday.
