Free trade zone at Sabah-Indonesia border mooted


KOTA KINABALU: A free trade zone at the Sabah-Indonesia border will possibly help reduce smuggling activities and at the same time bring about business opportunities for both sides, said a chamber of commerce leader.

The free trade zone will be beneficial since Kalimantan Utara (Kal­tara) has what Sabah needs, and people living in Indonesia’s 34th province require what Sabah can provide, said Kilit Laing, chairman of North Kalimantan Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
