Malaysia's boldest takes on news, entertainment and buzz.
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul pledged to complete critical missing transport infrastructure connecting Malaysia to Thailand and beyond, citing shared economic benefits and reduced border congestion.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Thailand's PM Anutin Charnvirakul jointly launched a new road connecting Malaysia's Bukit Kayu Hitam ICQS complex with Thailand's Sadao CIQ facility, marking a historic step toward establishing a special economic border zone spanning northern Malaysia and southern Thailand.
Malaysia and Thailand have committed to expediting border connectivity initiatives and establishing special economic zones, with both nations targeting USD30 billion in bilateral trade within three years.
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul will visit Malaysia from July 9, coinciding with the opening of a new permanent Sadao border checkpoint on July 11. The facility aims to streamline cross-border trade and tourism between the two nations.
