KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 22): The electrical and electronics (E&E) sector, especially semiconductors, will continue to be among the key sectors for potential investments this year, according to Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) chairman Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz. He said this in reference to the new investment plan, noting that Mida has been focusing on diversification of industries for a long time. Zafrul said the goal for the entire ecosystem is to integrate local companies into the global value chain. Commenting on estimates of investment value from the various sectors, Zafrul said there is no target yet as Mida’s management is still finalising the details. For a certain sector, we cannot just look at the numbers, but we have to look at the right spillover too,” he said.
