US watch list risk for M’sia made electronic products

Lim said the state government viewed the matter seriously, as about 50% of the electronic products exported from Malaysia originated from Penang.

GEORGE TOWN: Electronic products from Malaysia may face restrictions in entering the United States should the country be placed on a watch list by the US authorities on Dec 1.

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said that the implications of being placed on a watch list included restricting Malaysia-made electronic goods from entering the United States.
