Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this showed the confidence of the investors in the country.
"We have achieved the commitment of RM170 billion in investments from China. I must thank the investors for giving their cooperation and for giving us confidence.
"This is historic. It is good for Malaysia and the future,” he said when announcing the news at the Malaysia-China Business Forum, which was attended by some 1,000 business leaders from both countries, here today.
