KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Tuesday that Shell has committed to increasing its investments in Malaysia by 9 billion ringgit ($2.12 billion) over the next two to three years.
The boost in Shell’s investments will create high-skilled job opportunities for Malaysians, Anwar said in a Facebook post following a meeting with Shell CEO Wael Sawan.
He did not provide further details.
“This decision stands as a resounding vote of confidence from a world-class investor in our sound economic policies, clarity in our leadership, and promise in our future,” Anwar said.
Shell did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
