The Malaysian economy rebounded strongly in 2010 in linewith the continued recovery in the global economy. Thecountry’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) registered a growthrate of 7.2 percent in 2010 after contracting by 1.7 per centin 2009. The manufacturing sector which expanded by 11.4per cent in 2010, was the fastest growing sector, underlyingits importance as an engine of growth for the economy. Itcontributed 27.7 per cent to the country’s GDP, 72.1 per centof total exports and 27.8 per cent of total employment.

It is heartening to note that Malaysia attracted significantly higher levels of investments in themanufacturing sector in 2010 compared with 2009. Investments approved in the manufacturing sectorsurged by 44.8 per cent to RM47.2 billion in 2010 from RM32.6 billion in 2009. The approvedinvestments in 2010 surpassed the average annual investment target of RM27.5 billion set under theThird Industrial Master Plan (IMP3) by RM19.7 billion or 71.6 per cent.

Despite the stagnation of global FDI inflows and the intense global and regional competition for FDI,Malaysia continues to remain a competitive investment location for foreign investors. Foreigninvestments amounted to RM29.1 billion, accounting for 61.7 per cent of total investments approvedin the manufacturing sector during the year.

Domestic investments approved in the manufacturing sector in 2010 surged to RM18.1 billion fromRM10.5 billion in 2009, indicating continued interest by domestic companies in investing in this sector.This is also in line with Government’s continued drive to encourage domestic investors to assume amore prominent role under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP).

The services sector remains an important source of growth for the Malaysian economy. A total of 3,301projects, with investments of RM36.7 billion, were approved in 2010. Domestic investments amountedto RM32.8 billion, accounting for 89.4 per cent of the total investments approved during the year whileforeign investments totalled RM3.9 billion.

During the year, the Malaysian Government unveiled the New Economic Model (NEM), GovernmentTransformation Programme (GTP), ETP, National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) and the 10th MalaysiaPlan (10MP) to lay the foundation for the country’s transformation into a high income economy.

MIDA will assume an important role in ensuring that there is a significant leap in investment activitiesin the 12 NKEAs and other growth areas led by a more dynamic private sector to achieve the targets setunder the 10MP. Towards this end, MIDA has been empowered by the Government with the necessaryauthority to negotiate directly with investors for targeted projects.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE



The National Committee on Investment (NCI) was established in MIDA to hasten the decision makingprocess whereby senior officials from relevant authorities deliberate on applications for investmentprojects and approve them in real time. This move is expected to improve Malaysia’s ability to attractand secure targeted projects.

A Special Task Force on Investment has also been established in MIDA to coordinate investmentpromotion activities and statistical information by all investment promotion agencies in the country.

The initiatives and targets set under the ETP would entail additional responsibilities for MIDA inenhancing FDI and domestic investments. The corporatisation exercise currently being undertaken byMIDA will enhance its organisational structure so as to enable it to focus on priority areas identifiedunder the ETP. The new structure will transform MIDA into a more effective investment promotion agencyto compete for and attract quality investments. The corporatisation of MIDA will also provide thenecessary organisational flexibility for MIDA to attract and retain the manpower and talents it needsin order to function more effectively. The empowerment and the corporatisation of MIDA will enableit to engage investors swiftly and more effectively, thus attracting higher levels of investments in themanufacturing and services sectors, as targeted under the 10MP and ETP.

TAN SRI DR. SULAIMAN MAHBOBChairman, MIDA


The year 2010 was a landmark year for MIDA. YAB PrimeMinister had announced on 30 March 2010 at the InvestMalaysia 2010 event that MIDA will be empowered andcorporatised. MIDA will be empowered to negotiate directlywith investors for targeted projects and assume the role as acentral investment promotion body to enhance thecoordination and cohesion among the various investmentpromotion agencies (IPAs) in the country. To reflect the newrole and functions, MIDA is renamed as the MalaysianInvestment Development Authority while maintaining its

acronym, MIDA. The corporatisation exercise currently being undertaken by MIDA will transform MIDAinto an effective investment promotion agency to compete and attract quality investments.

Following YAB Prime Minister’s announcement, MIDA initiated various measures relating to theempowerment and corporatisation process such as the establishment of the National Committee onInvestments (NCI) and a Special Task Force on Investment, the delegation of power on licensing andincentives matters from Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and the Ministry of Finance(MOF) through NCI, revision of the MIDA Act, the establishment of steering committees and workinggroups to oversee the corporatisation process, restructuring and redefining of its new corporate entityas well as the development of a new MIDA logo.

In line with the decision to empower MIDA, a new high level Committee known as the NationalCommittee on Investments (NCI) was set up in MIDA on 20 May 2010 to consider and approve projectsin real time. The membership of the NCI include MIDA Chairman as the Chairman of NCI and theDirector General of MIDA as the Alternate Chairman with permanent members consisting of seniorofficials from the relevant ministries and agencies.

I am pleased to note that Malaysia continued to attract a high level of investments into the manufacturingand services sectors in 2010. Within the manufacturing sector, a total of 910 projects involvinginvestments of RM47.2 billion were approved compared with RM32.6 billion in 2009, representingan increase of 44.8 per cent. Projects approved in 2010, when implemented, are expected to create atotal of 97,319 employment opportunities, of which 74.2 per cent will be in the managerial, technical,supervisory and skilled manpower categories. Foreign investments worth RM29.1 billion were approvedconstituting 61.7per cent of total investments. Domestic investments surged by 72.4 per cent toRM18.1 billion in 2010. The services sector attracted investments amounting to RM36.7 billion from3,301 projects approved with the majority of investments from domestic sources amounting to RM32.8billion or 89.4 per cent of total investments. These projects are expected to generate 53,506 employmentopportunities.

DIRECTOR GENERAL’SMESSAGE


To raise the economy up the value chain, MIDA will adopt a more targeted approach in attracting qualityinvestments, which include high technology and capital intensive industries, R&D activities and highvalue-added industries. Some of the quality manufacturing and services projects approved in 2010include an expansion project in manufacturing, development and service of thin film solar modules,components and semi-finished products; an expansion and diversification project to manufacture thin-film magnetic disks and substrates; a new project to manufacture silicon ingots and solar wafers; anexpansion project by a local aerospace firm to undertake the activities of maintenance, repair andoverhaul (MRO) for commercial airlines; an expansion project to manufacture medical devices; anexpansion project to manufacture glass fibre and a flagship terminal project designed and built to bean important part of the downstream petroleum supply chain.

MIDA will further intensify its promotion activities to attract quality investments. In 2010, MIDApartnered with Bursa Malaysia in co-organising the Invest Malaysia 2010 event where the landmarkannouncement by YAB PM was made to empower and corporatise MIDA. In addition, MIDA was alsoinstrumental in organising the International Herald Tribune (IHT): Dawn of the New Decade Forumaddressing issues on financial recovery and Asia’s potential in developing alternative investments andimpact of financial reforms on investors. These programmes complemented the ongoing promotionalefforts to attract foreign investments on a targeted basis such as roundtable meetings with companies,specific project missions (SPMs) and strike force missions. As part of these efforts, MIDA had alsoexpanded its global networking presence with the opening of additional overseas offices in Munich,Bangkok and Houston. In line with the New Economic Model (NEM) and Economic TransformationProgramme (ETP), MIDA also intensified its domestic promotion activities through its extensive outreachprogrammes undertaken throughout the country namely organising domestic seminars andmeetings/dialogues with various local companies, chambers and industry associations.

After 43 years in existence, the empowerment and corporatisation of MIDA is a major milestone in itshistory and will enhance its capacity and capability to compete with other regional and domestic IPAsin attracting investments as well as enable it to complement the Government’s effort in transformingthe nation into a high income economy.

Global economic recovery continued in 2010, albeitat an uneven pace, led by strong economic activityin emerging market economies. Despite the healthierglobal growth, the international environmentremained highly uncertain, weighed down bycontinued structural weaknesses in the advancedeconomies. Various developments had also exertedan impact on the world economy, including theIcelandic volcanic ash cloud and protests in Europeas a result of austerity measures undertaken by somedebt-ridden European nations.

Global Developments

Based on the World Bank’s Global EconomicProspects 2011, world gross domestic product(GDP) expanded 3.8 per cent in 2010, led by strongdemand growth in developing countries. Demand insuch economies played a major role in the overallrecovery, contributing 46 per cent of global growthin 2010.

The recovery process had begun taking shape inmid-2009 in developing Asia, particularly China,where manufacturing production has alreadyreturned to pre-crisis levels. These Asian economies,buoyed by strong growth, continue to invest billionsof dollars on infrastructure, improving roads, ports,telecommunications and power plants. This presentsattractive opportunities for industry in this region.

With Asia as a major global economic powerhouse,and driven by key factors such as buoyant domesticdemand and the steady performance of the continent’semerging markets, Asian companies are nowincreasingly being recognised for their innovativeness,stature and global reach. Given Asia’s rising economicprowess, competition for business in the region willintensify; trade in goods and services between Asia andthe world will continue to increase.

According to UNCTAD’s Global Investment TrendsMonitor (published on 17 January 2011), global foreigndirect investment (FDI) inflows edged up 1 per cent toUS$1,122.0 billion in 2010, from US$1,114.1 billionin 2009. Despite the stagnation of global FDI inflows,Malaysia still attracted US$8.58 billion of globalFDI last year, far surpassing the US$1.4 billion in 2009.

Domestic Economy

Malaysia delivered a robust economic performancein 2010, achieving a 7.2 per cent GDP growth withthe manufacturing sector recording a double digitgrowth of 11.4 per cent. The manufacturing sector isan important contributor to the economy, accountingfor 27.7 per cent of the nation’s GDP, 72.1 per centof total exports and 27.8 per cent of total employment.This sector attracted a significantly higher level ofinvestments amounting to RM47.2 billion in 2010,compared with RM32.6 billion in 2009.

INTRODUCTION1


The services sector also remains a major contributorto GDP. In 2010, this industry accounted for 57.4 percent of Malaysia’s GDP with a 6.8 per cent growth.The services sector is estimated to employ some 6.3million people, or 53.6 per cent of the country’sworkforce.

These developments augur well as Malaysia forgesahead towards the status of a high-incomedeveloped nation, as set out in the New EconomicModel. Driven by the series of transformation effortsembodied in the Tenth Malaysia Plan (10MP), theEconomic Transformation Programme (ETP) and theGovernment Transformation Programme (GTP),MIDA will strive to provide the necessary impetus fora private-sector-driven economy.

The ETP represents a comprehensive effort that aimsto transform Malaysia into a high-income nation by2020. Under the ETP, 12 National Key EconomicAreas (NKEAs) have been identified as drivers ofeconomic activities that have the potential to directlyand materially contribute a quantifiable level ofeconomic growth for the domestic economy. The 12selected NKEAs are oil, gas and energy; palm oil;financial services; tourism; business services;electrical and electronics; wholesale and retail;education; healthcare; communications content andinfrastructure; agriculture; and greater Kuala Lumpur.

Meanwhile, the 12 NKEAs have identified 131 Entry-Point Projects (EPPs) that will require US$444 billionof aggregate funding between 2011 and 2020, with92 per cent (US$410 billion) coming from the privatesector while the remaining 8 per cent (US$34 billion)will stem from the public sector.

Thus, a key challenge for MIDA is to ensure asignificant leap in investment activities in the 12NKEAs and non-NKEAs, led by a more dynamicprivate sector to achieve the targeted annualinvestment growth of 12.8 per cent or RM115 billionunder the 10MP.

MIDA’s Corporatisation

During the period under review, Malaysia was ableto harness increased trade flows in the regionbecause of its strategic location and extensiveconnections throughout Asia. Going forward, MIDAhas a pivotal role in ensuring that the nation willcontinue strengthening its manufacturing andservices bases. While foreign companies and MNCsestablish their regional bases in Malaysia, MIDAcontinues to ensure that domestic enterprises alsotake advantage of the country’s strengths to establishtheir presence in this region.

To spur growth and strengthen the organisationresponsible for the promotion and coordination ofthe manufacturing and services sectors, an ambitiousplan to corporatise MIDA is being undertaken tosupport i ts transformation and ensure thatcompanies can leverage on Malaysia’s excellentbusiness environment, strong market connectivity,access to talent and a skilled workforce.

The corporatisation of MIDA will enhance MIDA’sorganisation structure, with a view to focusing onpriority areas identified under the ETP. The neworganisation structure will transform MIDA into aneffective investment promotion agency to competeand attract quality investments in the NKEAs andnon-NKEAs. The corporatisation will also provide thenecessary organisational flexibility for MIDA toattract and retain the manpower and talent it needsto function more effectively in implementing theinitiatives outlined under the ETP and achieving therelevant goals.

MIDA has also been empowered by the Governmentwith the necessary authority to negotiate directlywith investors for targeted projects. In addition,MIDA has been designated as the central investment-promotion agency for the manufacturing andservices sectors, excluding utilities and financialservices, to enhance coordination and cohesion


among the various investment promotion bodies inthe country.

The empowerment and corporatisation of MIDA willenable it to act swiftly in engaging investors moreeffectively and attracting higher levels of investmentin the manufacturing and services sectors, astargeted under the 10MP and ETP.

The changes announced by the Government willentail additional responsibilities for MIDA in itsefforts to enhance FDI and domestic investments. Themajor new roles include facilitating the provision oftotal solutions for the entire business eco-system forcompanies in the areas of technology acquisition,funding, tax incentives, training programmes,business development and transformation, as well asnurturing local technopreneurs in acquiringsophisticated technologies in knowledge-intensiveindustries and services.

With its corporatisation already underway andtargeted for completion by the end of 2011, MIDAwill position itself as a world-class investmentpromotion agency for the 21st century.

Conclusion

The Malaysian economy is projected to expand 5 percent to 6 per cent in 2011. Growth is likely to improveduring the course of the year, with a better performancein the second half.

Private investment is expected to remain strong,supported by capital spending among the domestic-oriented industries given the high levels of capacityutilisation and business confidence, as well as theimplementation of key initiatives announced by theGovernment under the ETP.

UNCTAD’s World Investment Report 2010 indicatesthat global FDI inflows will pick up to about US$1.3trillion to US$1.5 trillion in 2011, rising to someUS$1.6 trillion to US$2 trillion in 2012. UNCTAD’sWorld Investment Prospects Survey 2010-2012shows renewed business optimism and investors’stronger intentions of pursuing foreign expansion in2011 and 2012.

Given the preceding scenario, global FDI inflowsinto Malaysia are expected to gather momentum in2011 and beyond. In this context, the Governmentwil l continue responding to local and globaldevelopments to maintain the country’sattractiveness as the preferred investment destinationin the region.

MIDA certainly experienced a defining year in 2010.With its continued focus on harnessing excellence,MIDA will keep pushing the frontiers, to positionMalaysia as an Asian hub as well as a home forinvestment, business, innovation and talent.

Malaysia’s world class infrastructure, goodconnectivity and strategic location within ASEAN aresome of the main reasons why MNCs continue tochoose Malaysia to locate their regionalestablishments. Attractive investment incentivepackages including tax incentives and l iberalpol icies on foreign equity participation andemployment of expatriates are other factors cited bythese MNCs for the establishment of these operationsin Malaysia.

In 2010, a total of 183 new regional establishmentswere approved to be set up in Malaysia withinvestments of RM374.2 million. Estimated annualsales turnover for IPCs and RDCs amounted toRM4.8 billion. These operations will create a total of1,169 jobs for Malaysians. Operations such asOHQs, IPCs and RDCs generally create more jobopportunities for Malaysians in the managerial,professional and technical levels.

The present trend for MNCs especially in the E&Esector is to move towards services activities byestablishing their global operations in this region.Malaysia could reap much benefit from this trend.

Operational Headquarters (OHQs)

In 2010, a total of 22 OHQs were approved withinvestments of RM197.5 million. Of these, six were

Regional/Representative Offices (ROs and REs)

ROs and REs are establ ished mainly to assistforeign companies to plan or coordinate businessactivities for the corporations’ affiliates, subsidiariesand agents in Malaysia and in the region. Theestablishment of these ROs and REs will provideopportunities for the companies to set up OHQs/IPCs/RDCs in the long run.

In 2010, a total of 55 ROs and 96 REs were approvedwith total investments of RM69.2 million. Of thetotal, investments for ROs and REs were RM32.4mill ion and RM36.8 mill ion, respectively. TheROs/REs approved were mainly from Singapore (24),the USA (12), Japan (11) and the UK (eight). TheseROs and REs are expected to create employmentopportunities for 276 Malaysians.

SUPPORT SERVICES

Support services cover research and development(R&D), renewable energy and energy conservation/efficiency, engineering design, integrated logisticsservices, integrated market support services, coldchain facilities, sterilisation, central utilities facilitiesand bonded warehouse. These activities are thetargeted service activities currently being promotedby the Government to further enhance the valuecreation of the manufacturing sector in Malaysia.

In 2010, a total of 86 support services projects wereapproved involving total investments of RM1.1bil l ion. Domestic investments which total ledRM832.3 million continued to dominate the supportservices sector while foreign investments amountedto RM256.3 million. A total of 2,466 employmentopportunities would be created by these projects.

Renewable Energy (RE)

Renewable Energy (RE) was introduced in 2001 asthe fifth fuel policy by the Government. The policywas introduced to address issues on sustainabledevelopment for the country. The main renewableresources for generation of energy include biomasssuch as wastes from palm oil, rice, sugar cane,timber, sawmill and paper recycling mills; municipalwastes; biogas from landfills, palm oil mill effluentand animal wastes; mini-hydro; solar; and windpower. Within the RE sector, biomass resources andsolar energy are widely used for the generation ofelectrici ty, accounting for 90 per cent of therenewable energy sources.

Under the Ninth Malaysia Plan, the Governmenthad targeted for 350 MW of grid-connected powerfrom RE translating to 1.8 per cent of RE in theelectricity mix. However, only 53MW or 15 per centof the targeted RE capacity was achieved forpurposes of connecting the power to the national


grid. Nevertheless, more than 430MW of off-gridelectricity was generated by companies for their ownconsumption. The RE target set under the TenthMalaysia Plan is 5.5 per cent of the total electricitygeneration mix or 985MW by 2015.

To encourage the usage of renewable resources forenergy generation, the Government via the Budget2011 announcement has extended the tax incentivesfor renewable energy for another five years whichwill end on 31 December 2015. The newly proposedRE Act has also incorporated a mechanism on Feed-in-Tari ff (FiT) to enable the sales of RE byindependent providers including households toutility companies.

In 2010, a total of 21 renewable energy projectswere approved with tax incentives compared with18 projects in 2009. Total investments in approvedprojects increased from RM381.6 million in 2009 toRM563.7 million in 2010. Of the total investmentsapproved, RM541.9 million or 96.1 per cent was

domestic investments while RM21.8 million or 3.9per cent was foreign investments. These projectswould provide employment opportunities for 493workers in this sub-sector.

Twenty of the approved projects were new projectsand one was an expansion project. These projectswould generate energy in the form of electricity,steam or heat using biomass, solar and hydro power.

Global Operations Hub/Global Distribution Centre

In 2010, four companies were approved taxincentives to undertake Global OperationsHub/Global Distribution Center with totalinvestments of RM235.2 million.

Two foreign-owned companies would provideGlobal Operations Hub activities such as GlobalTraining Centre, Global Payroll Centre, SharedServices Centre, Global Resources Services,

Introduction

Malaysian companies are encouraged to ventureoverseas as they are well positioned to tap newinvestment opportunities through cross borderinvestments (CBIs).

Trends of Malaysian InvestmentsOverseas

In 2010, Malaysia’s direct investments abroad(DIA) amounted to RM42.6 billion, a 52.7 percent increased from RM27.9 billion in 2009.

The top destinations for Malaysiainvestments in 2010 were the ASEAN countries,which accounted for 41.8 per cent of the totalDIA. Other major destinations were Australia,United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Korea. SomeMalaysian investments were channeled via

international offshore financial centres, beforebeing redirected to its final destination. The keysectors include financial intermediation, miningand quarrying, services, trade/commerce andmanufacturing.

Human Resource Development

In 2010, a total of 62 in-house training programmesand 77 external training programmes were organisedand coordinated. These programmes wereconducted with a view to enhance the knowledgeand competency of MIDA's staff.

Empowerment and Corporatisation ofMIDA

MIDA has contributed significantly to Malaysia’srapid industrial development in the past and willassume an important role in the future developmentof the manufacturing and services sectors in thecountry. MIDA has been in the forefront of theGovernment’s efforts in attracting investments andhas stressed on pro-business attitude, efficiency andeffectiveness in meeting investor’s needs.

In line with the vision to achieve a developed nationstatus, the Government recognised the urgent needto relook at the role and functions of MIDA. Againstthis backdrop, the Honorable Prime Ministerannounced on 30 March 2010 the following four keychanges to MIDA:

(a) MIDA to be renamed as the MalaysianInvestment Development Authority whilemaintaining the acronym MIDA;

(b) MIDA to be corporatised;

(c) MIDA to be empowered to negotiate directlywith investors; and

(d) MIDA to be designated as the central investmentpromotion agency.

The changes announced by the Government arecrucial for the following reasons:

(a) The change of name is to convey to investorsits broader scope and centrality in promotinginvestments in the manufacturing and servicessectors;


(b) The corporatisation will provide MIDA thenecessary organisational flexibility to attractand retain the manpower and talents it needsin order to be an internationally competitivenational investment promotion agency;

(c) The empowerment of MIDA will give MIDAthe necessary authority to negotiate directlywith investors for targeted projects in themanufacturing and services sectors. This willalso enable MIDA to approve incentives inreal time and act swiftly to engage investorsmore effectively; and

(d) The designation of MIDA as the centralinvestment promotion agency for themanufacturing and services sectors(excluding utilities and financial services) willenable the Government to enhance thecoordination and cohesion among the variousinvestment promotion bodies in the country.

The changes announced by the Government wouldentail additional responsibilities for MIDA in itsefforts to enhance FDI and domestic investments.

Establishment of National Committeeon Investment

The National Committee on Investment (NCI) wasestablished in MIDA in May 2010 to enable fasterdecision making process whereby senior officials fromthe relevant authorities such as Ministry of Finance(MOF), Ministry of International Trade and Industry(MITI), Inland Revenue Board (IRB), Economic PlanningUnit (EPU), Bank Negara Malaysia and other co-optedagencies deliberate on applications for investmentprojects and approve them in real time. This has cut redtape and bureaucracy and enables faster decisionmaking by the Government. This move is expected toassist Malaysia to secure targeted projects expeditiously.

Establishment of National Task Forceon Investment

A special Task Force on Investment (TFI) has alsobeen established in MIDA to coordinate investmentpromotion activities and statistical information by allstate investment promotion agencies and economiccorridors.
