00:00In terms of investment, yesterday Prime Minister Inlaws really welcomed your step-by-step investment

00:07in gas little. So maybe, are we expecting more companies to invest in Malaysia, maybe

00:14in the short time this month? By the end of 2024, are we expecting more companies to invest

00:25in Malaysia?

00:25I think we have seen an increase in confidence shown by global tech giants in Malaysia as

00:31being a destination for their investments. There are currently discussions that are ongoing

00:36with many other companies and I anticipate that moving ahead, what do you call, in the

00:40next year, we will see more investments and that again augurs very well for the country.

00:48We are focused on rebuilding our economy. There is a lot of potential, particularly

00:53with us chairing ASEAN next year. I think Malaysia is very well positioned in this region

01:03to present itself as a destination for investments. We have seen a series of investments in the

01:11last eight months and I am quite certain that moving ahead, more announcements will be made.

01:19Would you encourage the school students to have AI?

01:24Yes, I think this is something that we are also looking at. The Ministry of Education

01:29has been looking at this seriously and of course through the Ministry of Digital, we

01:35will cooperate with them to see how it is we can make sure that we are able to bring

01:39AI awareness to all sectors, different groups, including students in this country. So that's

01:46something that the government is looking at, yes.
