Kuala Lumpur (VNA) – The Malaysia-Singapore Special Economic Zone and the proposed Johor-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) that will be finalised by both countries can have a positive impact on the relationship between the two neighbours, said economic analyst Dr. Oh Ei Sun.

If Malaysia and Singapore could cooperate in advanced fields, such as artificial intelligence (AI), it would make both countries centres of high technology development in Southeast Asia, Oh said.

According to him, both countries are able to attract investments in the computer and chip industry in addition to having a mature workforce.

He hoped that the details of the Malaysia-Singapore special economic zone would be one of the focuses at the 11th Malaysia-Singapore Leaders’ Retreat later this year./.
