Lim Lip Eng had asked the ministry about the Fortune 500 companies which had invested here and why Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc did not choose Malaysia as its investment destination "On the investment of Tesla, if a private company chooses to invest in Malaysia or in other destinations, it is a commercial decision for which I do not have the capacity to answer,” Lim said.
