PUTRAJAYA: The Cabinet has approved a proposal to build a third port on Carey Island, says Anthony Loke. He said the Transport Ministry would act as a regulatory body to oversee the construction while the Selangor state government would spearhead the construction. Loke also said a special purpose vehicle would be set up by the Selangor government together with the private sector to garner investments from the private sector to build and operate the port. He added the construction of the third port sends a signal globally that development in Malaysia is not affected by geopolitical challenges. In February 2023, Loke announced that Carey Island was slated to become Selangor's third international port after Northport and Westport.
