Chief executive officer Datuk Azman Mahmud said the firms showed strong interest in food products, the halal industry, electrical and electronics (E and E), chemicals, information and communications technology (ICT) and fabricated metals.

The confidence level is there among foreign investors as Malaysia has its own strengths and attractions with a conducive environment for business to flourish and positive economic growth, he said in an interview with Malaysian media on the sidelines of the seminar.
