| Abstract: | Malaysia is spending heavily to attract shipping companies to Port Klang -- just one of the areas in which it is trying to draw business away from Singapore. It was an off-the-cuff remark, but a barbed one nonetheless. At a reception marking the first regular call by a mainline foreign ship at Malaysia's Port Klang, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad couldn't resist tweaking rival Singapore some of whose business the expanded port is trying to capture, narrates the author of this article -- Murray Hiebert. |
