Melaka Jan-Sept 2017 investments jump two-fold to RM3.21 bln
MELAKA: Melaka’s total investments from January to September 2017 rose by double digits to RM3.21 billion compared to the same period the previous year.
Its Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Idris Haron, said based on Malaysian Investment Development Authority reports, the investments helped create 2,673 new jobs in various sectors.
He said outstanding achievements were achieved in various sectors through the launch of consistent year-long state government’s efforts and this has spilled over, especially the economy for the rakyat.
“We (the state government) do not care about the perceptions and impressions of the opposition to the existing administration but are committed to providing the best quality of service to the people,” he said at the Melaka State Government monthly assembly yesterday.
Idris said the state government always ensured that the services provided to the people were the best and in line with the current delivery system and would be evaluated from time to time.
He said in order to realise the mission, the civil servants must be committed and serious to deliver the best and quality services.
Meanwhile, he said, the performance and achievements during the last year would be a gauge for the state government to improve the quality of service and delivery to the people to a better level this year.
“Among the things to be emphasised include ensuring that systems, structures and working mechanisms meet the expectations and wants of the people as well as the state environment are conducive and comfortable to live,” he said.
Earlier, he, and the state’s leadership bid farewell to the State Secretary, Datuk Seri Naim Abu Bakar, who retired after 35 years in the civil service.
