Deputy Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said currently discussions are mainly focused on several technical issues concerning the location, size and construction costs.

“In principle, KDN has agreed and the discussion process is ongoing between KDN and the state government through the State Economic Planning Unit (UPEN).

On April 19 last year, KDN agreed to relocate ICQS Bukit Berapit to a new location due to its distance from the international border checkpoints.

In addition, he highlighted the potential economic benefits of the new facility, anticipating it to stimulate growth and opportunities within the local economy sector.
