摘要：This article discusses the historical development of Japanese investment in Malaysia between the years 1991 and 2003. When Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad took over the administration, Japanese investment in the country has been growing rapidly as Japan emerged as the largest trading partner of Malaysia. The consequence of crisis with the British government witness by 1982 Japan’s position in Malaysia has further strengthened through the implementation of the Look East Policy. Through this policy, the Japanese management system and work ethic has been widely publicized to continue the proJapanese orientation. Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad is responsible in projecting a more positive image of Japan in the 1980s and 1990s. The focus on domestic economic growth with focus on industrial, multi-ethnic community tolerance as well as political stability becomes Malaysia’s foreign policy throughout the administration of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to attract Japanese investment. Although researcher found too many previous studies on Japanese investment in Malaysia, this research will be able to complement previous studies through the collection of the characteristics of Japanese investment in Malaysia during this period for other researchers’ guidance. This study will also collect data from different sources from previous researchers. The different data will also provide new insight to the reader about the history of Japanese investments in this period.
