Malaysia’s current and future investments in the US is a matter of public knowledge and was merely reaffirmed by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak during his meeting with president Donald Trump, a minister said today.

Responding to Najib’s critics, BN strategic communications director Abdul Rahman Dahlan said the Employees Providence Fund (EPF) had come up with various statements on diversification of its overseas investments, as part of efforts to minimise their risks and maximise returns.

“It is as if these Pakatan (Harapan) leaders have not been reading the news for the past few years.

“For instance, they were shocked to learn that the EPF had invested US$7 billion in equities in the USA and has plans to invest up to another US$3 billion,” he said in a statement.
