FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISES IN MALAYSIA
Foreign investment in Malaysia in
1986 rose to 524.5 mln ringgit, the highest since 1971, from
324.9 mln in 1985, the Malaysian Industrial Development
Authority, MIDA, said.
    MIDA director-general N. Sadasivan said the increase was
due to large investment from the Netherlands in a 180.3 mln
ringgit petrochemical project in Bintulu, national news agency
Bernama reported.
