GEORGE TOWN: Penang recorded inflow of investments of only RM1.3 billion in the January-June period this year, as investors turned cautious about the fallout of the global financial crisis.

This was a stark contrast to the RM10.3 billion recorded for the 12 months in 2008.

InvestinPenang Bhd chairman of the executive committee Datuk Lee Kah Choon said on Sept 1 the plunge in investments had to be viewed in a wider perspective and the flow of investments in other countries.

Lee said there were investors still adopting a wait-and-see attitude as it was unclear if the financial meltdown was finally over.
