WEBSITE TO SELL MALAYSIA AS BUSINESS DESTINATION

KUALA LUMPUR, April 7 (Bernama) -- The Tourism Ministry has launched a website called Malaysia Truly Business (MTB) to spearhead a new initiative to sell Malaysia as one of the world's most attractive business destination.

Its minister, Azalina Othman Said said, the website would become a key
resource for potential investors to research and evaluate Malaysia as a superior
business and investment destination.

"As a one-stop portal, the MTB website is a compelling fact that would be a
platform for Malaysia to showcase a multitude of business and investment
opportunities in various sectors including financial, manufacturing, services
and technology"

"The MTB website also presents 168 reasons why Malaysia is the best
destination for business and investment, and I believe the 168 reasons will
attract a lot more investors coming to Malaysia," she said when launching the
website at the Malaysia Tourism Centre (MATIC) here, Monday.

Azalina said this initiative would herald a new era in building the brand of
Malaysia, which is now already highly regarded in tourism circles.

Azalina said the webiste would also direct potential investors to relevant
Malaysian agencies such as the Malaysian Industrial Development Authority
(MIDA), Multimedia Development Corporation, Malaysian Biotechnology Corporation
and Bursa Malaysia.

"I hope the website would benefit Malaysia in terms of foreign direct
investment especially in the current global economic situation," she added.

The website could be accessed at www.malaysiatrulybusiness.com.
