KUCHING: Malaysia’s number one investor
Japan plans to stay in that position by exploring more areas to invest in the
country.
Japanese ambassador Shigeru Nakamura
attributed this to Malaysia’s rich resources and its Government’s keen interest
in bringing in investors from Japan to this country.
He said apart from the current sectors which
include electronics, cutting edge products, timber and automobile industries,
Japanese investors were eyeing the potential of oil palm and rubber
plantations, infrastructure development and environmental industries.
“We (Japanese) hope that Malaysia would
gradually grow and expand and would provide these areas for us to invest in,”
Nakamura told reporters after doing a site visit to Taiyo Yuden (Sarawak) Sdn
Bhd near Sama Jaya Industrial Zone here yesterday.
He said with Malaysia’s fast growing
population and the increasing need of good medical facilities, Japanese
investors were also keen to explore and invest in medical facilities and
develop a new concept of Medical Tourism.
“I understand that the increasing population
of Malaysia would also require the development of its medical care services. I
hope our investors would come in and explore this potential area as well,” he
added.
Nakamura stressed that the environment would
be another potential sector, especially in Sarawak where there was a need to
preserve the state’s flora and fauna.
“We’re already involved in terms of providing
infrastructure development such as those involving sewage and waste management
project in the state.
“We hope that in the future more such
collaborations can be done as we have to pay regards to the environment,” he
said.
