SHAH ALAM, March 25 — The Selangor International Business Summit (SIBS) 2024 will be held twice this year with an estimated investment transaction value of RM7 billion.
Menteri Besar Dato’ Amirudin Shari said that the summit will be held in July and October to maximise on the investment potential of the event, due to many requests from its participants.
