PM Anwar: Malaysians well-equipped to unleash economic potential

KUALA LUMPUR, April 12—Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he is confident in Malaysians’ ability to realise the country’s potential in economic development, especially in high-value investments. 

Sharing a video report from the World Economic Forum Facebook page on Malaysia’s growing potential in the semiconductor industry today, Anwar said the Madani government is committed to building a new, high-tech and innovation-driven future for the country. 

“With high-value investments from global firms, resulting in high-paying jobs for more Malaysians.
