KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 — Investors in Malaysia should be assessed on the quality of jobs they create and how they treat workers, particularly women, said Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) chairman Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
He said fair wages, safe workplaces and flexible working arrangements should be key criteria for quality investments.
“The investors we welcome to Malaysia should be judged by how they treat the women who work for them. Good jobs, fair pay, safe workplaces and flexible work.
“These are not favours. They are the new standard of a quality investment,” he said in his keynote address at the Annual Women Economic Forum and G100 Global Meet 2026 here today.
