MALAYSIA SEEKS SEA LINK
Malaysia has proposed to Thailand a linkage between a deep sea port in Thailand's Songkhla province and an international port in Malaysia's Penang in order to shorten export time, said Thai Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak.
A discussion on the proposal was held between Somkid and Malaysia's second Finance Minister Johari Abdul Ghani yesterday, aimed at closer economic cooperation .
The Malaysian minister was interested in the development of the Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) and Rubber City in Songkhla province.
