Kedah Menteri Besar Mukhriz Dr Mahathir said the state government was of the view that KXP had become a necessity, especially for the cargo service sector, apart from fulfilling the needs of the existing industries in Kedah, Penang, northern Perak and Perlis.
“Kedah wants the federal government, especially the transport ministry and the economic affairs ministry, to review the proposal.
“I think that the existing companies and factories in Kulim High Technology Park (KHTP) will surely welcome the proposal,” he said.
Mukhriz was speaking after the opening of the new Infineon Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd office in KHTP here. It was opened by International Trade and Industry Minister Darell Leiking.
The initial proposal for the KXP project, costing RM1.6 billion, was made by the state government when Mukhriz was menteri besar under the BN administration then.
