After years of battle, Malaysia has finally U-turned Wee Ka Siong’s highly-criticised cabotage policy on foreign vessels conducting submarine cable repairs.

exemption for foreign ships to conduct laying, maintenance and repairs of submarine telecommunication cables in Malaysian waters effective 1st June 2024. This comes after Transport Minister Anthony Lokefor tech investments as the decision made by Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong in 2020 was seen as detrimental to Malaysia’s ability to attract telecommunications and digital investors.

for foreign ships to carry out repairs for undersea cables in Malaysian waters in a bid to attract digital investments. The decision was made as the required ships were not available in Malaysia and undersea cable repairs took up to 27 days. Gobind reminded Dr Wee that the fact it took up to 27 days to repair faulty undersea cable highlights Malaysia’s inability to carry out undersea cable repairs in a timely manner. He said the decision to exempt cabotage was made after receiving requests from tech giants to solve the issue.
