Last week, prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim indicated that he would be meeting Tesla CEO Elon Musk to discuss the possibility of the latter increasing his investments in Malaysia.
The discussion is scheduled to take place later today (Friday, July 14) and will be carried out online, according to Anwar. The PM said this when asked by reporters after a dialogue session with enforcement agencies yesterday, as reported by various news publications.
Earlier this week, investment, trade and industry minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said that the potential collaboration between Malaysia and Tesla will seek to look at elements beyond the EV sector.
“There is more than just the EV sector that we are talking about in this potential collaboration. What we want is to attract more potential or investment commitment in the automotive sector and other sectors that we can market within Malaysia,” he said.
Back in March this year, Tengku Zafrul had announced that the EV maker was the first approved applicant in the BEV Global Leaders initiative, which would allow it to sell cars in Malaysia without the usual AP rules.
Tesla is set to make its official debut in Malaysia next week, on July 20. Ahead of the brand’s arrival into the market, the Tesla configurator for Malaysia has been activated, revealing the pricing for the Tesla Model Y.

Folks,dont put too much hope on this teleconference.
Elon,the world’s most eccentric EV tycoon,is just doing a publicity stunt.
Remember,he tortured 6000 mostly unemployed graduates in the sun for a few job vacancies,lately.
U do business with Elon..it is never WIN WIN. It is “Elon grab all”.
State elections coming,Anwarkor is also hoping for a Rating booster..we cant fault him.
Just drive smart..dont buy EV with herd mentality.Do your research.
yawn
Abg Non meet Mas Elon.
As much as how people hate Tesla as a brand and its CEO, you can’t deny the fact their products are the benchmark in term of integration between charging accessibility and overall package minus the build quality
As much as I hate to say this, good job Anwar and gang. No AP for EV and effort to attract new investment is a good step forward from the previous OKU ministers policies. Hope to see better things in future. Never expected that any ministers would chnage OKU policies. Good job
so far what’s tengku zafrul’s contribution? did he bring in any investments to malaysia?
