The words innovation, creativity and value can be summed up in one name: Malaysia. 2009 was another strong year for Asia's leading investment destination, with total approved investments in the manufacturing sector reaching US$9.5 billion, of which 68% came from foreign sources. Despite a weak global economic environment, total investments approved in 2009 exceeded the country's annual targets. 2010 looks good as well: From January to July, approved investments came to US$5.2 billion, of which foreign investment constituted 58%."Malaysia is very serious about achieving results," says Datuk Jalilah Baba, Director General of the MIDA. "The Prime Minister and his leadership team fully support all efforts to bring Malaysia to the next level: a developed nation by 2020 with a substantially higher per-capita income."
