KUALA LUMPUR: Alibaba Group, the technology giant owned by Chinese billionaire Jack Ma, will set up an e-commerce and logistics hub in Malaysia to spur young entrepreneurs to venture out of the country.

This would be part of Malaysia’s Digital Free Trade Zone (DFTZ), a plan which took only 10 minutes for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and him to agree on, Ma said.
