KUALA LUMPUR (April 7): Malaysia said on Wednesday that it had secured potential investments from South Korea and Japan amounting to 16.05 billion ringgit (US$3.89 billion) and export purchases of about 986.2 million ringgit to be realised in the coming years. Malaysia is hoping to attract more foreign investment this year after a major drop in 2020. In a January report, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development said FDI into the country slid 68% last year, the biggest drop in Southeast Asia.
