Malaysia aims to finalise SEZ deal with Singapore in September


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia said on Wednesday it will seek to finalise plans and sign a full-fledged pact with Singapore to develop a special economic zone (SEZ) between the countries in September.

The neighbours in January agreed to develop the SEZ in Malaysia's southern Johor state, just north of Singapore, aiming to attract investment and free up the movement of goods and people.
