PORT DICKSON (Bernama): Efforts are underway to look into the possibility of making Port Dickson a duty-free zone, in a bid to attract more overnight local and foreign tourists.

Muhammad Syamim Bazir, director of the corporate, tourism and public communications unit at the Port Dickson Municipal Council (MPPD), told Bernama recently that discussions were being held with several government agencies such as the Customs Department with the aim to establish a committee to look at an appropriate mechanism which could be employed to make the tourist spot a duty-free zone.
