IPOH, Perak, Malaysia – In a significant boost to the state's economy, the Perak government announced securing RM450 million in investments following a recent overseas mission. The successful trip, which took place between May 9th and 18th, saw the delegation visit France, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.
