PUTRAJAYA: Top investors from around the world view Malaysia as a “bright spot” amidst global financial uncertainty, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

He said the country attracted overwhelming support at the recently concluded World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.

“The Malaysia Night we hosted there was met with an extraordinary reception.

“We had expected only 400 to attend, instead 1,000 influential people turned up.

“In a global climate of uncertainty, they said Malaysia is one of few countries that they consider to be a bright spot,” he said when addressing thousands of people who had turned up at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport to welcome him home yesterday.

The crowd had gathered at the Bunga Raya Complex as early as 9am to welcome Najib, his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor and the Malaysian delegation back from their tour of Gaza and the WEF.
