Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says he has asked the world's largest oil and gas company, Saudi Aramco, to invest in Kemaman, Terengganu.
He said Aramco chairman Yasir O Al-Rumayyan had informed him that the company wanted to make Johor the hub for its expansion in the Southeast Asian region.
"But I said it's okay and I told him to go to Kemaman," he said at the Terengganu Madani Unity Tour ceramah programme at Wakaf Tapai in Marang last night.
Anwar said that when Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah performed the haj recently, King Salman Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said that the country had agreed to make Malaysia its largest investment hub in Southeast Asia.
"All this is not because of Anwar Ibrahim, but because of the cooperation of Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional, Sabah and Sarawak. They know our current government is stable," he said.
Meanwhile, Anwar said he would always remember the deeds of two political leaders, the late Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat and the late Fadzil Noor.
"They set the best example as Muslims who defended the fate of the people and loved everyone," he said.
