The Chief Executive Officer of Permodalan Kedah Berhad (PKB), Mr. Azad Bin Jasmi, recently undertook a high-level courtesy visit to the Advisor of the State Government Four (SG4), YABhg. Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, to deliberate on transformative, high-impact strategies aimed at accelerating the competitiveness and holistic advancement of the State of Kedah.
The distinguished meeting served as a pivotal platform to exchange insights on strategic initiatives, with a key focus on intensifying efforts to attract high-calibre foreign direct investments (FDIs) into Kedah’s rapidly emerging economic sectors. Leveraging his global stature and influence, YABhg. Tun Dr. Mahathir plays a crucial role as a conduit to international investors seeking to explore and capitalize on Kedah’s untapped investment potential.
Discussions centred around unlocking growth opportunities in key areas such as tourism, hospitality, advanced technology, and property development — particularly in prime locations like Langkawi and other burgeoning development corridors across the state. These targeted investments are anticipated to catalyse economic dynamism, spur job creation, and elevate Kedah’s profile as a premier investment destination within Southeast Asia.
The engagement also underscored the importance of long-term, sustainable development planning, with a strong emphasis on human capital empowerment as the cornerstone of an innovation-driven and knowledge-based economy.
PKB reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to advancing Kedah’s economic landscape through a forward-thinking, inclusive, and sustainable approach — aligned with the vision of positioning Kedah as a resilient, globally competitive hub for strategic investments in an increasingly complex and fast-evolving global economy.
