Greetings,

Penang State is expected to attract more than RM8 billion in
investments this year, which will be a near two-fold increase from
the RM4.77billion recorded last year.

For the first eight months of the year, the state has already
received RM6 billion in investments, of which RM4.77 billion or 77%
were from domestic investors with the main investments in the
manufacturing sector, InvestPenang Executive Committee Chairman,
Datuk Lee Kah Choon said, at the opening of Surface Mount Technology
Association (SMTA) Conference, in Penang per the Star.

Meanwhile, SMTA (Penang Chapter) Chairman David Vetharudge said the
association, established last year, has about 60 members with some
90% based in Penang. The association aims to assist members to
exchange ideas on the latest SMT equipment as well as ways to better
serve their customers.

One of DK Malaysia's main goals is to promote investment, business
opportunities, trade, travel and tourism in Malaysia and to assist
MIDA, MITI, MATRADE and Tourism Malaysia achieve their goals and
objectives. I look forward to hearing from all of you and have a
great day.
