KUALA LUMPUR: The International Trade and Investment Ministry (Miti) will take the necessary action against any companies, including improper certificate issuers, that are using Malaysia as a transhipment point to get a certificate of origin for their manufactured goods for export to the United States.
Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Ong Kian Ming said the ministry will not tolerate any untoward practices that would give reasons for the United States to arbitrarily impose sanctions on Malaysia amid its trade conflict with China.
