Taiwan investment in Malaysia peaked before 1990. Chu Chia-I, director of the 3rd Division in the Industrial Development and Investment Center of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, noting that Malaysia's economy is virtually entirely in the hands of ethnic Chinese, says that Taiwanese mainly invested in the electronics industry, and at the peak there were about 400 Taiwan firms there.
我國對馬來西亞的投資，在民國八十年以前是高峰期，經濟部投資業務處組長朱家一指出，馬來西亞的經濟幾乎由華人掌控，台商投資以電子業為主，高峰期大約就有四百多家。
