PRIME Minister Anwar Ibrahim has instructed the government agencies to ministries prepare the infrastructure and human resource skills for more foreign investments into the country.

He said it would be a waste of the government’s efforts if Malaysians did not take advantage of the opportunities that foreign investments would bring, such as technology transfers and specialised training.

 Anwar, who is also finance minister, said the ministry must help coordinate the preparation efforts and identify what is lacking, such a human resources.

“If necessary, special allocations (will be provided) to provide intensive training (for local workers). Otherwise, they (investors) will have to hire workers from abroad. This should be monitored and action taken immediately,” he said at the Finance Ministry’s monthly assembly. – Bernama, April 4, 2023.
