NAJIB TO ADDRESS INVESTMENT COMMUNITY AT INVEST MALAYSIA

BANGKOK, June 9 (Bernama) -- The investment community will have a glimpse of
the future direction of Malaysia under Prime Minister Najib Razak when he
delivers a speech at the Fifth Invest Malaysia conference on June 30.

CIMB Group Chief Executive Nazir Razak said while the Prime Minister had
talked about stimulus packages, the conference would provide him with the best
platform to deliberate on his long term vision and economic transformation for
the country. CIMB is Malaysia's second largest provider of financial service.

"The investment community is excited about the prospect of meeting the new
leader.

"This will be his first speech to the investment community...it's important
to listen what he has to say," said Nazir.

Speaking to reporters after delivering a keynote address at the Third
Euromoney Thailand Investment Forum here Tuesday, Nazir said the conference was
timely as it coincided with the appointment of a new leader, new transformation
agenda and the need to combat the economic crisis.

The two-day conference, sponsored by Bursa Malaysia, CIMB and supported by
the Capital Market Development Fund, is expected to attract about 500 people,
among them regulators, market players and both local and foreign fund managers.

Asked about Najib's leadership impact on the country's economy, Nazir said
his elder brother was still "in his early days".
