I am proud to announce that Malaysia\u2019s attraction as a top investment destination in the region remains strong, with a steady influx of high-quality investments in the manufacturing sector. This sector continues to contribute significantly to the Malaysian economy and in 2022, recorded a total of RM84.3 billion (USD19.1 billion) or 31.9 per cent of total approved investments in various economic sectors. Electrical and electronics (E&amp;E) remained the top-performing industry in the manufacturing sector, with a total of approved investments of RM29.3 billion (USD6.6 billion).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSEMICON Southeast Asia presents a great platform for businesses to connect, engage and widen their strategic networks. With the presence of international firms at the event, Malaysia will showcase the vibrancy of its E&amp;E industry and offer more opportunities for global industry players to expand their supply chains to include this key sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Right Honourable Mr. Chow Kon Yeow, Chief Minister of Penang<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe theme for this year\u2019s SEMICON Southeast Asia aligns with Penang\u2019s longstanding focus to strengthen our competitiveness in the global arena.
