We look forward to the development of Carey Island too," he added. The Melaka Gateway, Carey Island Port are two other ports that Malaysia will be developing in the Straits of Malacca. He also allayed fears that there could be too many ports in the country, saying that the slightly lower volume at Port Klang and Tanjung Pelepas is "temporary".
