The federal government does not restrict investors from investing in opposition-held states, said the prime minister’s political secretary Azman Abidin.

He said the government does not dictate where they should invest as it is up to the investors to choose the state that suits them.

“(If) the investors feel they are suitable in Perlis and can cooperate well in Perlis, for example, they can invest in Perlis or Kedah or any other state. We do not restrict them from investing,” he said.

Azman (above) was speaking to the media after representing Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in handing over Ihsan Madani contributions to the needy from the Kangar parliamentary constituency at the Royal Malaysia Police Senior Officers Hall in Perlis yesterday.

Earlier, he also distributed contributions to the needy from the Arau and Padang Besar parliamentary constituencies, at the University of Malaysia Perlis (Unimap) Excellence Hall and Dewan Seri Melati, Beseri, respectively.

He said the government, through the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation and the Investment, Trade, and Industry Ministry would act as facilitators to assist investors who wish to invest in any state in the country, including opposition-ruled states.
