LONDON (Sept 24): Sir James Dyson, billionaire British inventor of the bagless vacuum cleaner, has expressed interest in bringing new investments into Malaysia and enhancing the capability of Malaysian engineers, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The Prime Minister said Dyson has already invested in Malaysia with his facilities located in Johor and hired a large number of engineers.
"If he (Dyson) continues his investment in Malaysia, we can reduce the number of unemployed who have studied up to PhD level," he said after visiting Imperial College London on Monday.
At the prestigious science-based university, Dr Mahathir met Dyson who showed interest in bringing new investments into Malaysia.
The Prime Minister said the Government would amend "restrictive" policies so that Dyson would be more keen to invest in Malaysia.
"We will persuade him (to continue investing)," he said.
On his visit to Imperial College London, Dr Mahathir said he was attracted to the automotive field that the university was working on to improve the efficiency of the engine and its forays in the development of electric vehicles.

KUALA LUMPUR: VS Industry Bhd is in active discussion with existing and new customers to secure orders as the group expand its local production capacity.
For the fourth quarter ended July 31, the company posted a 4.4% growth in net profit to RM38.4mil as revenue increased 2.8% to RM1.01bil. Full year (FY18) earnings was RM150.77mil, the company said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia on Tuesday.
The latest quarterly results were driven by its local operations that offset declines in overseas units.
“Overall prospects of the group remain positive underpinned by the anticipated growth in the Malaysia segment,” it said.
It expects box-built orders from key customers to sustain the group’s performance in the financial year ending July 31, 2019 (FY19).
The company has proposed a final dividend of 0.6 sen a share, to be approved by shareholders at its upcoming AGM.
Shares in VS Industry jumped 10 sen, or 6.6% to close at RM1.62 before the latest quarterly results were announced.
Traders said reports that British-billionaire Sir James Dyson is planning to bring in new investment to Malaysia had boosted sentiment on this stock.
Dyson, the bagless vacumm cleaner company, is one of VS Industry’s biggest customer.
