SINGAPORE, July 28 – Positive outlook from analysts and rating agencies, supported by encouraging economic figures, signals that Malaysia is making great strides to reclaim its Asian Tiger status, said Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.
The minister, on a working visit to Singapore, said he has also received great feedback regarding Malaysia’s strong economic performance during meetings with investors and analysts, who expressed optimism about the country’s future growth.
“To reclaim the Asian Tiger status is not a pipe dream. The government and I are very confident that we can achieve this.
“We are also seeing a lot of financial analysts out there, a lot of rating agencies, a lot of people that are acknowledging that Malaysia is fundamentally back (on track),” he told the Malaysian diaspora here on Friday night.
Amir Hamzah, who was on a two-day working visit to the island republic ending yesterday, was speaking at a dinner hosted by the High Commission of Malaysia in Singapore.
During the visit, the minister also attended an investor engagement session jointly arranged by CIMB, JP Morgan and UOB.
Amir Hamzah said the MADANI Government has succesfully maintained 21 months of stability.
