Several ministries will study the investment initiatives put forward by the Negeri Sembilan government to support the development of Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) in the state, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
He said they include the Transport Ministry, Works Ministry, Water and Natural Resources Ministry, as well as Investment, International Trade, and Industry Ministry.
“To support the development of MVV 2.0, I also hope the local authorities can focus on advancing development in the MVV 2.0 area and be given priority so that development can be carried out in an orderly and inclusive manner.
“This effort will bring benefits to all parties, especially the people in this state. The plan needs to be steered well to drive the country’s success and excellence. We need strong leadership with high integrity,” the prime minister said at the launch of a catalyst project for the MVV 2.0 in Port Dickson today.
The text of the speech was read by Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof on behalf of Anwar (above). Also present was Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun.
MVV 2.0 is a development based on public and private collaboration to make a world-class metropolis that is competitive, inclusive and clean.
The development of MVV 2.0 is expected to have an economic impact on the country by bringing in international and local investors.
The area encompasses 153,411 hectares of land, covering Seremban and Port Dickson.
Anwar also congratulated the efforts of the state government and agencies for their continued commitment to the MVV 2.0 development plan which has drawn RM15.6 billion in investments to date.
“The government is confident that the policies and strategies enacted will strengthen the investment ecosystem and boost investment activities to continue to drive the country’s economic growth and restore the country’s position as a major investment destination in the region.
“Hopefully, this effort will be blessed for the progress of the country and bring Negeri Sembilan towards being a developed state by the year 2045,” he added.
TVET programme
Meanwhile, the prime minister said to continue empowering workers in the country, the Technical Education and Vocational Training (TVET) programme needs to be strengthened.
“In addition to opening up quality job opportunities, we need to ensure local entrepreneurs get opportunities in the eco-system of the industry and technology transfer to local companies,” he added.
At the event, five memorandums of understanding and four smart partnerships were signed, including the involvement of the National Aerospace Industry Corporation Malaysia for advisory services for the development of the Negeri Sembilan Aerospace Valley (NSAV) and the Unmanned Vehicle Valley ecosystems.
The MoU with China National Aero-Technology International Engineering Corporation involves the development of real estate and infrastructure in the NSAV area with a total investment of RM5.81 billion.
