PETALING JAYA, Aug 27 Malaysia should not depend on foreign direct investment (FDI) to drive the economy as it can no longer compete with low-cost countries like Vietnam and China, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today.

The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) has said that FDI accounts for 70 per cent of investments but it is working towards a 50:50 parity by encouraging more local investments.

We cannot wait for foreign investors to come simply because foreign investors have got a choice.

They can go to Vietnam or China or Thailand or the Philippines or Indonesia, where labour is cheaper, the former prime minister told some 150 Tesco staff and suppliers here today at an executive lecture organised by the hypermarket chain.

Dr Mahathir said that while Malaysia previously had no choice but to rely on FDI due to lack of capital, technology and knowledge of the world market, it could now leverage on local funds and know-how to start new industries, acquire new technology and develop new products.

Putrajaya has set a target of RM1.4 trillion in investments until 2020 to generate RM1.7 trillion and vault Malaysia into developed nation status.

Jho Low's Girlfriend Paris Hilton drunk and flashing panties ...

Perhaps sensing an opening due to Lindsay Lohan’s incarceration, Paris Hilton appears to be throwing her panties into the ring for World’s Biggest Hot Mess! After a couple arrests for pot over the last few weeks, Paris kicked her election campaign into overdrive Friday night at the VIP Room in Saint Tropez, France by chugging booze, singing on stage and putting on one of her infamous crotch shot marathons! (Thankfully, she had her Krabby Patty covered with a pair of nude panties, so I’m guessing the CDC did not have to get involved.) Joining Paris in her drinkin’, lip syncin’ and camel toe winkin’ fiesta was sister Nicky Hilton and on-again off-again boyfriend Doug Reinhardt, who both joined in on the intimate apparel fashion show: Ahhhh… It’s nice to see Paris back in the headlines again!
