Exchange of views between Consul-General Machida and the Chairman of the Penang State Assembly’s Select Committee

On July 22nd, Mr. Shinya Machida, Consul-General of Japan in Penang, received YB Mr. Gooi Hsiao Leung, a member of the Penang State Assembly and Chairman of the Assembly's Select Committee on State-Federal Relations. During the discussion, Mr. Machida asked about the reasons for establishing this special committee. This matter is an issue that should be discussed within the Malaysian government. However, the Consulate General will continue to closely monitor the outcome of these discussions, as changes in the structure of this country could potentially affect Japanese citizens and Japanese companies.
