Free trade zone at Sabah-Indonesia border mooted

The free trade zone will be beneficial since Kalimantan Utara (Kal­tara) has what Sabah needs, and people living in Indonesia’s 34th province require what Sabah can provide, said Kilit Laing, chairman of North Kalimantan Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
