Rantau assemblyman calls for proactive economic stimulus and efficient investment processes to leverage Negeri Sembilan’s strategic position.
SEREMBAN: Rantau assemblyman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan has urged the Negeri Sembilan government to act more proactively in stimulating the state’s economy.
He stressed the need to facilitate all investment processes with properly planned industrial sites to avoid bureaucratic hurdles.
The Foreign Minister said Negeri Sembilan’s strategic position within the Greater Klang Valley places it along a regional economic growth corridor.
“We must facilitate investors so they can manage and establish industries in Negeri Sembilan, which in turn will create job opportunities here,” he said during the State Legislative Assembly sitting.
Mohamad, who is also MP for Rembau, called for an economic stimulus plan aligned with strong national conditions.
He further proposed that polluting industries be placed downstream to protect major rivers like Sungai Linggi.
“As a son of Negeri Sembilan, I want to see this state progress and enjoy economic growth and shared success,” he said.
Mohamad also expressed the view that the Negeri Sembilan Budget 2026 should be balanced rather than in deficit.
“I support the budget presented, but with an amendment to reduce the allocation by RM30 million, thereby making the state budget balanced at RM610 million,” he said.
Meanwhile, Datuk Mohd Asna Amin said the Negeri Sembilan Fast Lane initiative is expected to enhance investor attractiveness.
He congratulated the Seremban City Council for being the first local authority to implement the system.
Datuk Mohd Zaidy Abdul Kadir urged the state to develop Orang Asli community tourism for Visit Negeri Sembilan Year 2026.
Choo Ken Hwa also expressed hope that all accommodation providers are formally registered with authorities.
The State Assembly sitting resumes tomorrow.
