HONG KONG: Malaysia can become a hub for distributing products from overseas to the ASEAN market for which Hong Kong has grown itself into for decades. “We can see that this opportunity is wide open as all this while they (investors) have invested in some countries outside of Hong Kong, especially China. Ahmad Zahid said Hong Kong had become the gateway for goods from Malaysia to several countries, particularly its neighbouring countries. “I think this role of transshipment country can be expanded, not just being a channel and distribution centre for goods from our country. Ahmad Zahid said the role of transshipment country could be played by Malaysia for all ASEAN countries as it has good ports and infrastructures, as well as broader communication channels.
