PETALING JAYA: The current requirement for foreign vessels to obtain a Domestic Shipping License (DSL) to carry out submarine cable repair work is not a hindrance to any such project, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The Transport Minister said that Malaysia had never been the proposed landing site for the Apricot submarine cable project since it was announced in 2017, which is owned by a consortium led by NTT Limited Japan."It will connect Japan to Singapore, with branches to Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan and the United States."

"Together, this network of systems puts Malaysia in the middle, he said," he said in a Facebook post on Friday . "The excerpt from CMI’s statement above itself negates Utusan Malaysia’s article which has attempted to cast aspersions on Malaysia’s cabotage policy, even after well-published efforts by the Transport Ministry to explain the revocation of the exemption signed in November 2020.
