PETALING JAYA: Tengku Zafrul Aziz has taken to social media to allay concerns over the government’s apparent lack of progress in realising commitments of RM170 billion in foreign direct investment received from various conglomerates in China, likening the process involved to a traditional Malay marriage.
“Realising investments may take anywhere between one and three years,” he said, explaining that larger investments may take longer to come to fruition. He also said the JTPPP reports to the National Investment Council, which convenes every month and is chaired by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim himself.
