RM10 BILION BUKTI KEYAKINAN PELABUR




TAWAU  : Pembantu Menteri Kewangan Sabah Datuk Tawfiq Abu Bakar Titingan berkata kemasukan pelaburan berjumlah RM10 bilion pada suku pertama tahun ini ke Sabah membuktikan keyakinan pelabur terhadap kerajaan yang diterajui Barisan Nasional (BN).

Beliau berkata sekiranya pelabur tidak yakin dengan sistem kerajaan serta kestabilan politik di Sabah dan Malaysia amnya, tidak mungkin pelabur ingin mengambil risiko melabur di Sabah dengan jumlah pelaburan yang begitu besar.

"Saya dimaklumkan oleh Lembaga Pembangunan Pelaburan Malaysia (MIDA) bahawa pelaburan berkenaan adalah termasuk dalam sektor industri minyak dan gas di pantai barat Sabah," katanya ketika berucap merasmikan majlis penyerahan surat tawaran bantuan baik pulih rumah nelayan di sini hari ini.

Menurut Tawfiq, antara pelabur yang akan melabur di Sabah di masa depan ialah Darden Restaurants Inc yang berpangkalan di Amerika Syarikat yang akan melibatkan diri dalam projek ternakan udang kara secara besar-besaran di Semporna yang kos projeknya bernilai RM2 bilion.

Menurut beliau, apabila projek berkenaan dilaksanakan oleh syarikat rangkaian restoran bertaraf dunia itu, ia sudah tentu akan memberi limpahan ekonomi kepada rakyat di Sabah termasuk dari segi peluang pekerjaan kepada penduduk tempatan. (Bernama)

Of late the resource-based state has been transforming with prominence being given to the oil and gas (O&G) industry as well as the rapidly evolving service sector, especially its tourism sector that has been doubling its growth rate every four years.
