‘Cabotage policy didn’t lead to losses’

Lively encounter: Dr Wee (left) and Lim at the hour-long televised debate on the cabotage policy

PETALING JAYA: Japanese conglomerate NTT has informed Malaysia that it is considering a new mega subsea cable from Japan to South-East Asia, with landing points in Sabah and Sarawak, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said the fact that NTT had asked him for government support proved that the current cabotage policy was no deterrence to the construction of new subsea cables with landing points in Malaysia.
