KUALA LUMPUR, 26th JULY 2024 :The Pahang State Government has secured investments worth RM7 billion as of the second day of the Invest Pahang exhibition at the Selangor International Business Summit (SIBS) 2024.

According to the Chief Executive Officer of the Pahang State Secretary Corporation (PSK), Puan Haslina Bahasan, at least 12 investors have also shown interest in investing in Pahang so far.

"And as of today and tomorrow, we have 12 prescheduled meetings at the international and Malaysian levels. If we can secure 50 percent of these investors, it will be sufficient for us.
