Malaysia's Melaka Eyes Textile Investments From India

MELAKA (Melaka), Dec 28 (Bernama) -- Malaysian state Melaka is eyeing textile investments from India, says Chief Minister Idris Haron. "I want to revive textile investments in the state because made-in-Malaysia textiles could raise our country's profile," he told reporters after the state government's monthly assembly here Monday. Last year, the state attracted investments worth US$1.02 billion (RM4.4 billion, US$1 = RM4.28) including RM1.8 billion in foreign investments, and this year aims to draw RM5 billion in total investments, he said. --BERNAMA
