PETALING JAYA: The government is intensifying efforts to expand Malaysia’s transport infrastructure across all sectors to strengthen its position as a world-class logistics hub, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday.
He said Malaysia had prospered throughout its history not merely because of its strategic geographical location, but also its ability to connect economies around the world.
“The Straits of Melaka has steered commercial flows for centuries. Our ambition is to expand it across land, sea and air to make Malaysia a world-class logistics hub.
“Port Klang handled a record 15.1 million twenty-foot equivalent units last year and ranks among the world’s 10 busiest container ports,” he said at the opening of Daiso’s New Global Distribution Centre (GDC) in Pulau Indah.
