YANGON, MYANMAR: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has urged Malaysians to invest in Myanmar now, saying if they do not do so now they will probably be left behind investors from other countries.

"I see Myanmar is now more relaxed," he told Bernama here, adding the country is prepared to bring changes towards a more open society.

Dr Mahathir flew to Myanmar's new administrative centre at Nay Pyi Taw this morning to meet Myanmar President Thein Sein at the latter's office.

The meeting lasted over an hour, after which Dr Mahathir met Myanmar's Industry Minister Soe Thein and later flew back here. - Bernama
