Interview with Bernama Biz

In a recent Bernama Biz interview, AMCHAM’s CEO Dato’ Siobhan Das reaffirmed that Malaysia remains a compelling destination for U.S. investors, backed by long-term commitment and ongoing interest in key sectors.

Key Highlights:

• The U.S. remains the largest foreign investor in Malaysia, with a commitment to technology and high-value investments. 
• Malaysia is well-positioned to support sectors that continue to move the country up value chains,  such as electrical & electronics (including semiconductors), medical technology, chemicals, aerospace, and ICT — with growing potential in emerging areas like rare earths and critical minerals.
• Investors emphasize the importance of consistent policies, clear implementation, and coherent communication to support long-term decision-making.

“It’s about what we can do on the ground to make ourselves more competitive — truly understanding Malaysia’s strengths and focusing on high-value areas. That’s how we attract the right investments into the right sectors and reduce attrition,” said Dato’ Siobhan Das.
