quarter of 2023. Meanwhile, the Agriculture sector grew marginally by 0.8 per cent (Q2 2023: -1.1%) in this quarter, attributed to better production
in the Oil palm sub-sectors. The Mining & quarrying sector decreased
marginally by 0.1 per cent (Q2 2023: -2.3%), contributed by the decrease in the production of Natural gas sub-sector.
The Manufacturing sector also declined marginally by 0.1 per cent (Q2
