Investors get assurance that in Perak, its 'business as usual'

IPOH, Wed:

PERAK Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir today gave the assurance that the state administration is running as usual and said that investors need not be unduly worried about the political impasse in the state.

He said the state government welcomed investors keen to invest in the Perak and was ready to help any investor having problems in having their application processed.

"They can rest assured about the political climate despite what you have been hearing about the situation here. When it comes to business, I think all Perakians are very serious about it and we would like to welcome everyone to Perak," he told reporters after chairing the weekly meeting of the state executive council here.

He said the state government he helmed functioned well despite the political impasse.

"What I want to say here is that business goes on as usual. We are going to focus more on the economic development of the state and the people can rest assured that economic development will go on," he said.
Dr Zambry said it was more important for him and his executive council to discharge their duties in the administration of the state effectively, honestly and respectably for the good of the people.

"That is what the people want because we do not want to be obsessed with political games which do not bring benefit for the people," he said.

He asked those questioning the validity of his appointment as the menteri besar to wait for the legal process to be completed and not to use the matter for political games which he said would lead to confusion in the political situation in Perak. - BERNAMA
