“Among the proposed projects is the Perlis inland port to be developed on an area of 200 hectares,” he said at the China Entrepreneurs Association in Malaysia first anniversary and Chinese New Year celebration here last night.
He said it would also focus on developing the Malaysia-Thailand border areas, including logistics, green energy, green processing and waste management sectors.
