PBA RM1 BILLION REVENUE: PBA and the RM1 Billion Question: is it achievable by 2030?
In 2023, Penang’s total manufacturing investment amounted to RM63.4bil, constituting 42% of Malaysia’s total. The total manufacturing foreign direct investment (FDI) alone was RM60.1bil, more than the total it received from 2013 to 2020 combined.
Given this, it’s not surprising that PBA has projected water consumption could reach 1,532 million litres per day (MLD) by 2030.
