KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 12 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) expands efforts in providing in-depth opportunities in every state this year through its Special Briefing Session series. The first briefing session, ‘An Update on Investment Opportunities in Perlis’ was held today at the MIDA HQ. The series follows the successful regional supply chain conferences and domestic investment seminars that were held last year. To achieve more, the agency is leveraging on the close cooperation and coordination MIDA has with the state agencies. Today's event was a collaboration with the Perlis State Economic Planning Division, previously known as the State Economic Planning Unit or EPU Perlis. A presentation was delivered by its Principal Assistant Director, Ms Sanisah Sarnuji.
 
“The Special Briefing Session series is a new initiative undertaken by MIDA in addition to our on-going efforts in facilitating investors. This serves as a platform for the relevant state government agencies to update the business community on the latest development and investment opportunities in their respective states. The series will be running throughout the year to cover the 13 states of Malaysia,” said Dato’ Azman Mahmud, Chief Executive Officer of MIDA.
 
Through the series, industry players will have the opportunity to get in-depth details on the latest development and investment opportunities on specific states from the relevant state authorities. This deeper understanding will benefit investors in making well-informed investment decisions in choosing a location that best fits the needs and suitability of their overall business strategies.
 
“While some states have continuously topped the list of recipients for investments, other states have yet to achieve their full potential. In line with the Government’s aspirations of promoting an inclusive economy, MIDA seeks to attract investments and create jobs for locals for all states in the country towards developing an equitable and sustainable economic growth in Malaysia,” added the CEO of MIDA.
 
Further details on the Special Briefing Sessions on investment opportunities in other states will be released in due time. Interested parties are encouraged to follow MIDA’s social media for the latest announcements and updates at @OfficialMIDA on Facebook and /OfficialMIDA on Twitter.
