Empirical studies overseas have shown that economic, social and political factors are important determinants of FDI inflows. It cannot be very much different in the case of Malaysia. Inflows of FDI in Malaysia always fluctuate over the years. The fluctuations are because of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, increasing number in world oil price and the emerging markets like China and lndia. The research objectives are to study the trend of FDI inflows and the factors that influence the FDI inflows to Malaysia. In this study, researcher has used secondary data.

In addition, researcher used multiple regression analysis in this study because the independent variables are more than two.

From the regression analysis, all of the independent variables show the correct theoretical signs and significant except for inflation rate.
