(MARA Corp) and MARA Inc align all investment proposals, especially high-value property acquisitions, with government policies and prioritize domestic investments. PAC chairman Datuk Seri Mas Ermieyati Samsudin stated that these proposals should prioritize local investments and require prior approval from the Finance Ministry (MoF).
