Malaysia Should Fully Leverage The Vast Potential Of REE — PM Anwar


KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia should fully leverage the vast potential of the local rare earth industry (REE), says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

During today’s National Economic Action Council (MTEN) Meeting No. 6 of 2024, Anwar emphasised that collaborations with international experts should aim to develop the entire industry chain within the country.

‘Strengthening enforcement is crucial to prevent resource exploitation, which could reduce government revenues and impede the growth of the REE industry.

‘We are also reviewing the ‘New Deal for Business’ initiative to position Malaysia as a preferred business destination, a vital step given our current standing in the global competitiveness index,’ he said in his social media post today.

Anwar added that the government is confident that these efforts will enhance investor confidence and strengthen Malaysia’s economic foundation.
