Govt reviewing National Automotive Policy
Friday, September 23, 2011
GURUN: The Government is reviewing the National Automotive Policy (NAP) to meet the needs of the customers and industry players, locally and overseas.
Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir said the Government was talking with industry players to obtain feedback on how to create a better environment to boost the growth of the industry.
"The industry is very important and it has recorded high earnings for the country.
"I'm confident that Budget 2012 will give more emphasis to the sector considering that it is contributing to the economic growth apart from creating high-income jobs for Malaysians."
Mukhriz said this to reporters after Naza Automotive Manufacturing's celebration of the production of its 150,000th unit here Thursday.
He said the local car sector has grown tremendously compared to the neighbouring countries in which Malaysia is not only an assembler but also a manufacturer.
