AMPANG: Caretaker Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari says Malaysia has seen a 60% increase in investments in the past six months, thanks to the Anwar Ibrahim-led unity government.
Amirudin attributed this to the stability of the federal government.
“I saw a statement from (investment, trade and industry minister) Tengku Zafrul Aziz that in the first six months of 2023, investments that have come into Malaysia have increased by 60% compared to 2022.
“Why is it higher? Because we are not fighting to change the prime minister,” he said at a ceramah here tonight.
In June, Amirudin said Selangor had contributed a record 25.5% to the national gross domestic product (GDP) last year, an increase of 0.7% over that of 2021.
He also said the statistics department’s data showed that Selangor’s economic growth was 11.9% in 2022, compared to the national growth rate of 8.7%.
Amirudin said this underlined Selangor’s highest growth and contribution to the country’s GDP since Pakatan Harapan was given the mandate to govern the state in 2008. - FMT
