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.

It started a series of articles written by other bloggers about Johor and drew even more attention, which many talked about. Enough to be asked to 'come for dinner '.
