PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s exports in October hit a 12-month high at RM90.59bil boosted by higher exports of optical and scientific equipment despite a contraction in electrical and electronic (E&E) products.

According to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti) report issued yesterday, exports fell by 6.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) from RM97.12bil in October 2018 due to high base effect.
