“These projects will be an impetus to attract more quality investments into Pahang, particularly in targeted sectors. With so much room available for new investment, expansion and diversification, we look forward to more companies taking advantage of the established ecosystem and facilities that Pahang has to offer,” said Mr. Arham Abdul Rahman, Executive Director of Investment Promotion, Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) in his welcoming remarks at the MIDA Invest Series event held this morning at MIDA Headquarters.
