Make Kudat a shipping hub to challenge Thailand, govt urged

KOTA KINABALU: Malaysia can avoid losing out to Thailand’s one-trillion-baht southern land bridge project by making Sabah the country’s primary shipping and logistic hub, says former Cabinet minister Datuk Darell Leiking.

This could be done by designating the northern Kudat district as the new shipping transit point and international trade hub for the country, said the former international trade and industry minister.
