Investment figures: Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) Investment Performance Reports 2021–2025, all economic sectors by state. These are investments approved in each year and summed, not investment received or spent — MIDA reports an implementation rate of 84.9% across 4,847 manufacturing projects approved over this period, which typically take 18–24 months to reach full operation. The series begins at 2021 because MIDA first published all-sector investment by state in its 2022 report. State totals cover the window above, not a term of office: Kelantan's and Terengganu's administrations both predate 2021.
