KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — The Transport Ministry has been asked to discuss the use of ports at the Malaysia–Thailand border as well as in Penang to strengthen infrastructure development and logistics networks in the border area.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said aspects of transport, including the use of ports, were among the matters discussed with his Thai counterpart Anutin Charnvirakul during the leader’s recent official visit to Malaysia.
“On the issue of transport, there is indeed a new route that was inaugurated recently but we also discussed the issue of railways and Prime Minister Anutin also mentioned port transport,” he said during Ministerial Question Time at the Dewan Rakyat today.
He said this when answering a supplementary question from Datuk Adnan Abu Hassan (BN–Kuala Pilah) on the government’s steps to ensure infrastructure and logistics development in the Malaysia–Thailand border area.
Anwar said the use of new ports such as in Sanglang and Perlis Inland Port (PIP) was also discussed to maximise economic spillovers from the development of the border corridor, besides paying attention to rail transport and tourism. — Bernama
