In his keynote speech on behalf of YB Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Aziz, the Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry of Malaysia at the launch ceremony, YBhg Dato' Hairil Yahri Yaacob, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry of Malaysia, stated, "The partnership between RIYAZ Group and Jinjiang Hotels (China) demonstrates investors' strong confidence in Malaysia's economic resilience. It also underscores the importance of global collaboration in solidifying Malaysia's position as a regional hub for trade, tourism, and sustainable development. Ultimately, the value of a partnership like this will be measured not just by rooms opened, but by the quality of opportunities it creates for Malaysians: by how many SMEs join the value chain; by how many young people receive world-class training, and by how effectively we embed sustainability—from energy efficiency to waste reduction—into daily operations."
Dato' Sri Shaheen, Group Managing Director RIYAZ International and RJJ Hotels, said: "RJJ Hotels is more than a launch — it is Malaysia's chance to lead a new era of cross-border hospitality. With RIYAZ's local strength and Jin Jiang's reach, we are shaping growth that puts Malaysia at the centre of Southeast Asia's tourism story."
Zhou Wei, Vice President of Jin Jiang International, said: "Southeast Asia is central to our growth strategy, and Malaysia's resilience makes it the natural hub. Working with RIYAZ gives us the local insight to bring global resources into the region and deliver hospitality that creates long-term value."
