RM10 billion investment into Malaysia within 10 years by CPCG

Forget all those perceptions of Malaysia’s relationship with China. Chinese companies still love Malaysia and will continue to invest here. As usual, the more investments coming into Malaysia, the more will be the demand for properties too. This is especially if the professionals employed in these companies are the highly skilled ones. Let’s understand that highly skilled professionals are well remunerated because they could choose to work anywhere in the world and not necessarily Malaysia.
Latest news in TheStar: A top 100 company in the 2018 Fortune Global 500 nonetheless. China’s Pacific Construction Group Ltd (CPCG)’s founder Yan Jiehe said Malaysia “is business friendly, and one of the most competitive countries in the region”. He has plans for a RM10bil investment over 10 years in areas including infrastructure development and hi-tech machinery. He said, “The country’s fundamentals are strong. You have excellent infrastructure, a robust eco-system and a big pool of trilingual talents. Kuala Lumpur, is thus, a strategic launch pad for our expansion into Asia Pacific.”
