PM: RM13bil FDI shows investor confidence in Malaysia.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak
KERTEH: The RM13bil in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the first quarter of this year is a clear signal of investors' confidence in Malaysia as an investment destination despite a gloomy global economy and the Opposition's criticims, says Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The Prime Minister said foreign investors did not base their decisions on what the Opposition said.

"They choose Malaysia based on facts and in-depth assessments.

"Their selection of Malaysia is a vote of confidence on how we manage our economy.”

"We expect to hit our targeted FDI and private sector investments this year," he told journalists after officiating the groundbreaking ceremony for the world's first integrated bio-methionine and thiochemicals plant in Kertih BioPolymer Park here on Saturday.


Commenting on the groundbreaking of the bio-methionine and thiochemicals plant, Najib said the project, jointly developed by South Korea's CJ CheilJedang and France's Arkema, was a proud moment for Malaysia as it was the first of such plant in the world.

"The plant also marks the first major investment by an international industrial biotechnology company in the country.  "It will position Malaysia alongside other global feed producers and exporters," he said adding that, the plant was expected to be operational by December next year and would have spillover economic effects. ..."The people in the surrounding areas can plant the 'petai belalang' and supply the biomass to the plant at an attractive price. ..."It will provide the people with continuous income and it does not necessarily have to be planted on a fertile ground," he said.

He also hoped the activity of planting petai belalang would be expanded nationwide based on the contract farming model.

Meanwhile, Arkema executive vice president Marc Schuller said Malaysia was chosen as it was an industrial- friendly country especially with its exceptional safety and environment standards.

"Malaysia is also centrally located and have high numbers of qualified workers. "Highly efficient government entities also offer attractive incentives for investors," he said.

CJ CheilJedang chief executive officer Kim Chul Ha said, "This is very significant day for CJ's Bio business in its 45-year history. "In many ways, it is the start of a new beginning for CJ," he said.

Meanwhile, the prime minister took time off from his work schedule here to attend the wedding of Nur Asdayana Ahmad, 27, and businessman Mohd Hafiz Adnan, 24, at Telok Kalong here. The bride is a daughter of Terengganu Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said.

The prime minister also visited former five-term Kemasik assemblyman Datuk Abu Bakar Ali, 67, who is suffering from a nerve illness.

Dan adapun orang-orang yang takut kepada kebesaran Tuhannya dan menahan diri dari keinginan hawa nafsunya. Maka sesungguhnya syurgalah tempat tinggalnya. (al-Naziat ayat 40-41)

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes...known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. . . No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."

PEGANGAN

Ingatlah firman Allah Taala:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا بِطَانَةً مِنْ دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ (118) هَا أَنْتُمْ أُولَاءِ تُحِبُّونَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِبُّونَكُمْ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْكِتَابِ كُلِّهِ وَإِذَا لَقُوكُمْ قَالُوا آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوْا عَضُّوا عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَنَامِلَ مِنَ الْغَيْظِ قُلْ مُوتُوا بِغَيْظِكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ (119)

Maksudnya: “Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! janganlah kamu mengambil orang-orang yang bukan dari kalangan kamu menjadi “orang dalam” (yang dipercayai). mereka tidak akan berhenti-henti berusaha mendatangkan bencana kepada kamu. mereka sukakan apa yang menyusahkan kamu. telahpun nyata (tanda) kebencian mereka pada pertuturan mulutnya, dan apa yang disembunyikan oleh hati mereka lebih besar lagi. Sesungguhnya telah Kami jelaskan kepada kamu keterangan-keterangan itu jika kamu (mahu) memahaminya. Awaslah! kamu ini adalah orang-orang (yang melanggar larangan), kamu sahajalah yang suka (dan percayakan mereka, sedang mereka tidak suka kepada kamu. kamu juga beriman kepada Segala Kitab Allah (sedang mereka tidak beriman kepada Al-Quran). dan apabila mereka bertemu dengan kamu mereka berkata: “Kami beriman”, tetapi apabila mereka berkumpul sesama sendiri, mereka menggigit hujung jari kerana geram marah (kepada kamu), Katakanlah (Wahai Muhammad): “Matilah kamu Dengan kemarahan kamu itu”. Sesungguhnya Allah sentiasa mengetahui akan Segala (isi hati) yang ada di dalam dada.” [Ali Imran: 118 & 119]

"Engkaulah (Wahai Tuhan) yang memasukkan waktu malam ke dalam waktu siang, dan Engkaulah yang memasukkan waktu siang ke dalam waktu malam. Engkaulah juga yang mengeluarkan sesuatu yang hidup dari benda yang mati, dan Engkaulah yang mengeluarkan benda yang mati dari sesuatu yang hidup. Engkau jualah yang memberi rezeki kepada sesiapa yang Engkau kehendaki, dengan tiada hitungan hisabnya".
