PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak gave his
commitment to doing everything possible to build a vibrant business environment
and further develop the infrastructure to ensure Malaysia remains a competitive
location for investors.
"There is real change, real transformation in Malaysia. In the next five years, I am confident we can do even better with the momentum we have created," he said in his remarks to a group of US business leaders at the Harvard Business School Club of New York here.
He said the government's efforts are already gaining recognition internationally, with Malaysia making significant strides in several global rankings.
AT Kearney's FDI Confidence Index ranks Malaysia as the 10th most attractive destination while UNCTAD's World Investment Prospects Survey placed the country 21st in the two years from 2011.
