ALOR SETAR (May 9): The ability of Kedah’s Pakatan Harapan (PH) Government to bring in foreign investments worth RM7.75 billion in the first quarter of this year, is among its huge accomplishments for the State so far. With this achievement, Kedah is on track to realise its RM10 billion investment target for the year, and the realisation of its proposed mega project, Kulim Airport (KXP), will put the State on foreign investors’ radar.
